Finally a BATMAN steelbook with touch of style and exactly what's needed after all the uninspiring and uninspired BATMAN steelbooks that have gone before especially the first

I'm not convinced by that at all. The mix of drawings and a photo looks... jarring. Like someone just cut it out in Paint and dropped it in.

That said, will probably still cave in and buy as I love the film and I bet it'll look great in 4K

It's what Titans of Cult/not Cult do,
they try to be different.

Unfortunately it doesn't always work.

Hmm... think this is the first time I'm not a fan of their choice of design. Not liking the blueprints (again?!), and the fact the car isn't lined up from front to back bugs me lol.

I get what you mean when it comes to the car not lining up.
The more I’m looking at it the more it’s bugging me

ToC easy passes

Yep my thoughts exactly and once again this is not for me.

This is still my favourite Batman SteelBook:

@Noodles @TheCollector86

Are you adding this to your rare s#it collection?

 

[lights]

The car needs lining up on the back. Put an embossed logo on there and I think it would look OK.

Car can't line up as the text would be on the car instead of below it.

Speaking about the Batmobile here the 1943 model ...

... the 1949 model ...

... the 1966 model - the first real Batmobile ...

.... and every bit as cool and a must have toy for kids in the 1960s as Bond's DB5 Aston Martin

The sleek 1989 Batmobile looking far more serious and more like a car built to achieve a land speed record . . . looking a bit like Thrust 2 from 1983 which actually did on October 1984
633.47 mph (1019.47 km/h) in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada driven by Richard Noble

I like it, will probably pre-order if it comes with a bunch of crap like the others.

I sure do love additional crap.

Perhaps it comes with some wonderful toys?

Agreed. I'm a huge Batman fan and I'm completely underwhelmed with this artwork.

 

[davhyl]

shockingly bad... like all ToC

 

[samdavies]

wow am I disappointed with this.... *immediately pulls his futureshop listing off ebay*
If the whole package is nice then possibly, but based on the steel alone, it's a nope.

 

[zeebeer]

shockingly bad... like all ToC

2001, V for Vendetta and maybe even Mad Max are pretty nice/okayish
