Hot Toys Reveals ‘Batman: Arkham Knight’ ‘Batman Beyond’ Batsuit Figure

Article by Adam Poncharoensub

Nearly 5 years ago, Rocksteady released the final installment to their epic trilogy of Batman: Arkham games. Like all the others in this excellent series, we were treated to tons of DLC goodies, including several Batsuits to fit our Bat-aesthestics (Life is just a competition to see how many Bat-prefixes we can use, right?). For the most part, they offer no functional special features, only to serve as eye candy. By far, one of the coolest Batsuits that Rocksteady interpreted was the Batman Beyond Batsuit. Rocksteady turned it into a more realistic, high-tech tactical armor with an incredible amount of detail.

Wanna see a live-action version of it? While we’re likely a long way away from a live-action movie, you can hold it in your hands to marvel at the detail. It’s a bit of obscure, but Hot Toys just unveiled their Batman: Arkham Batman Beyond Batsuit figure and it’s glorious.

Did I mention how highly detailed the suit was? Well, Hot Toys, makers of magnificiently-crafted toys and statues, has somehow managed to pack more details into their interpretation of the Batsuit. It’s certainly a beast of a figure.

Take a look:

There’s just so much to dissect and unpack from these photos alone. It’s a pretty insane piece. I mean, look at that cape! As is usually the case, the cape is usually the most impressive part of some of these figures. And I feel like, that is the case with this figure as well. Accurate to Rocksteady’s interpretation of the wings, they appear out of his back and are totally poseable based on the wires. Did I yet mention that this thing was a beast? In addition to the cape, there are so many accessories.

Take a look at the details below:
