Description A good friend of mine that I use to work with requested me to make him a unique Batman figure and it was given to him as a gift (so no, he'll never be for sale) His only stipulations were that Bats needs the longest ears possible, articulated wrists, the blue/gray scheme, and for him to look dark and shadowy.

This is actually my first true custom of the Batman character. He was made from a DC Direct Superman/Batman series 2 head, DCSH Batman body, with the old Mattel utility pack and hands. He's almost entirely airbrushed along with his cape. Speaking of the cape, it's a scaled down version of the Horizon Keaton Batman model kit cape and made from that thin clear vinyl you can find at Walmart. Heat it with a hairdryer and it becomes limp, forming any way you choose. Then it stiffens when it cools down and retains that shape. Very nifty stuff!

Dunno, if you're not playing with it every day I'd say no. I have old showercurtain vinyl I use to use as a workmat and crunched up every day for years. It never cracked, just turned yellow.

btw, MKvsDC is a pretty bad cameo.
We need japanese animation vs american cartoons
that would rock.

Looks like it came straight from the new feature Batman: Gotham Knight. A very strange feature, just like the Animatrix, even has the Batman: The Original Series voice actor doing Batman/Bruce Wane. Strange that anime studios are getting more calls to do animated("shorts"/full length) versions of live action movies(Animatrix being one, Hellboy being another, then even Highlander getting two, and now Batman) than some very good local(american) studios.
