THE DARK KNIGHT’s Batman, Christian Bale, Finally Dons Comic-Accurate Costume Thanks To New Hot Toys Figure

Written by on June 7, 2023

Hot Toys has revealed a new Batman figure based on Christian Bale’s likeness in The Dark Knight Trilogy, albeit with a grey, blue, and yellow colour scheme that’s more in line with what we’ve seen on the page.

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy is rightly considered one of the greatest series of comic book movies ever made. However, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises were very much grounded in reality. 

There were plenty of nods to the comic books and an exciting spin on characters like The Joker and Two-Face, but Bruce Wayne’s Batsuit was rooted in the real world. 

For those of you wondering what that costume would look like with the classic grey, blue, and yellow colour scheme from the comic books, Hot Toys has you covered with a new “WB 100” 1/6th scale figure that puts a new spin on Christian Bale’s Batman. 

Honestly, we’re not sure what to think. This might have worked on the big screen, but the design doesn’t necessarily lend itself to multiple colours. Perhaps The Brave and the Bold‘s Caped Crusader will head down this route? 

Fingers crossed someone asks Andy Muschietti about that. 

Hot Toys has also revealed a new Wonder Woman figure based on Gal Gadot’s appearance in the 2017 movie. Will a new Superman follow? Considering the fact Henry Cavill has been ousted from the role, we wouldn’t necessarily bank on this Trinity being completed as he may be unwilling to lend his likeness to it. 

We’re sure many of you would welcome a new Man of Steel based on Christopher Reeve or even Brandon Routh, though!
