After seeing this absolutley beautiful piece in hand, I can can honestly say its a real showstopper. For me the likeness is insane, and the paint application on the suit is just perfection. There is a reason Queen Studios are gaining such polularity, and this Bale statue is a great representation of the quality that they bring. For any Bale Batman fan, this is a must have in my opinion. Outstanding.
I’m in an opposite dilemma. I ordered Bale, but slept on the Joker. Now it’s going for crazy money on eBay! In a nutshell, this set belongs together. I purchased the connecting base just in case.
I just got this same version in this past week and couldn’t be happier! I’m also patiently waiting for the extended base. Can’t wait to display him with Heath! Thanks for the review Chris, and thanks Michael for supplying the footage. Cheers!
@@BatmanStatueCollector It was wrinkled out of the box. I didn't steam it. I wish they would've used a different material as well. Not sure what would've been more appropriate, but the fabric it has seems a bit too thin.
I too just got this piece in! It's an excellent piece! I couldn't be happier. Many reviews came out and I was worried about the sculpts. But after getting it in person it's perfect. Wouldnt change anything, LOVE this piece!
Chris excellent video as always! I own both the Prime 1 and Queens Studios Batman statue and I can absolutely recommend hands down If you're going to get one Queens studios is a no-brainer, I would definitely pick him up! Batman and Joker are yin and yang you cannot have one without the other, if you ask me. And Christian Bale and Heath Ledger are my Batman and Joker!
Also huge Nolan trilogy fan. You got the Queen Heath whereas I picked up the Sideshow clapping one. Even though it took harsh criticism over not being good likeness of Heath, I love the clapping hands pose as Joker's way of saying congrats commish but I am three steps ahead.... I also like the Bale looming behind idea and am getting this awesome 1/3 queen piece. Okay so it doesn't look exactly like Bale but why does it need to? it conveys the Nolan vibe and what's more, the sideshow Heath (not Heath) is 1/4 and this is 1/3 but again I guess I'm out there in that I think it will look killer as a larger scale LOOMING above those jail bars behind the sideshow 1/4 Joker clapping thinking he has the game won, but Batman is what happens when "the unstoppable force meets the immovable object." Cheers!
Hi Chris i put a closeup pic of the prime 1 and the QS portraits side by side the QS isnt quite as full looking as P1 .I kinda think thats where it throws it off .The p1 to me seems slightly rounder on the sides and a little tighter around the mouth . Just an opinion.But i would prefer the P1
Thanks for the close up look! Great Batsuit, another awesome piece from Queen! Tough call because it would look so good in your cave standing behind Joker to recreate the interrogation scene, both next to Queen Catwoman when she arrives. But it sounds like you are not fully happy with it, so maybe the best decision is not get Batman and have a Heath Ledger display, which sounds awesome too. Both displays would be epic, so you can't go wrong either way.
Recieved it today & DAMN! The paint apps are som of the best ive seen & its about the first time my camera cant capture a piece, i didnt expect to like it as much as i do. Perfect in person def got prescence
A very nice looking piece for sure. I totally agree with you about the masked chin lacking enough detail to make it look definitively like Christian Bale. That's not necessarily a bad thing. I'm already invested in the 1/3 line from JND studios, and I hope that the upcoming TDKR Batman statue gets an international release 👏😎 love your humor and style Chris 👍
Hi, thanks for the great review and congrats on this masterpiece! I just received my premium version today and actually noticed that on his left leg, there is a very slight horizontal gap between where the top of the boot and his leg connects (along the part where the boot zipper is: At the 3:20minute of your video). Do you notice this as well? Was getting worried if it is a break or is it normal.
I like everything about this statue apart from the cape. it is coming across as if it is really thin. And I might be wrong but in the films especially the last two it looks a bit more like velvet material.
Overall it’s a nice piece. The unmasked portrait is good but the cowl one is not even close! Hate to say it, just my personal opinion, I have seen so many do a lot better. Specially for that price point.
Nice video chris love your channel!🔥 I do think he looks overall amazing🔥 my favourite batman. And its your favourite movie so i would go for it if i was you. They belong to each other and looks amazing displayed together
Great vid Chris. Nice piece. Just not for me. No "WOW" factor to it. I don't believe this statue would be included in a "Top 10" list of Batman statues. I'll pass on it. But congrats to those that are picking this up.
Awesome statue I didn't get this piece but saving up for the prime one 1/2 scale Christian Bale Batman The Dark Knight !! I I know it's a half scale but I love that movie and he's my favorite Batman other than Keaton. I should have that sometime next year when it ships I'll do a video of it Chris I'll be better by then chat soon buddy
The problem isn't that this sculpt of Christian Bale as the Dark knight isn't done well, because it obviously is. It isn't an issue that this statue isn't up to par with that Heath Ledger's Joker statue that was already made. The issue of the tissue is how coincidental it is, that in order for you to pair the both of them up, you have to fork out more money. That's right, Queen studios has found a way to make more money off the collectors whom wish so hard to see both of these characters posed in one setting together. Sure it would look awesome but to have to spend more money on what should otherwise, be a given reward for having had invested so much on their product. Well that's alot of nerve. If you already put your money in for the change of base, we'll then congratulations and wish you all the best on future purchases to come.
There is some inaccuracy on this piece. The suit is not accurate to the dark night. The dark night suit is different from the dark night rises. The glove in TDK is outside of the gauntlet whereas the glove in TDKR is tucked in inside the the gauntlet. The cape should be velvet type material. Also the cowl is not accurate to the movie. it is close but it's not accurate. Nevertheless, it's still a good looking piece. 😅
Looks very cool, but taking in consideration how much you love the film and yet even after seeing all the pics and this video from Michael... you still being on the fence says that this isn't something you should add to your collection. Sometimes no matter how good something looks of something we're a fan of, we know a piece isn't for us even if we can't put our finger on why. I've noticed some collectors talk themselves into getting it anyway... many times this is regretted. Save yourself the time, effort, money, and trouble... focus on the pieces you KNOW you really want.
Ehh, both of the portraits are off. To the point I'd say the Batman one is actually pretty bad. The Bruce Wayne is better but you aren't going to display that behind the Joker. So miss.
Movie accuracy is top notch, the Bale suit has never been my preferred Batsuit, so it's a pass for me, but he looks like he just came out of the film and was shrunk. 100
The cowl sculpt looks nothing like Bale, the only reason to buy this is for the Bruce Wayne sculpt, so unless you plan on displaying it without the cowl l wouldn't buy it.

Showstopper indeed!! Thanks for your comment!
I am not sure about the Cape it looks really thin.
@@dallasknight4854 Could be thicker for sure!
@@dallasknight4854 It is, but I kind of like it!!

You will find one, will keep you in mind if I ever sell!

What do you think about the cape?
I have it, haven’t displayed it yet, but the cape’s really super wrinkled. I think the material on the cape could be much improved.
@@BatmanStatueCollector It was wrinkled out of the box. I didn't steam it. I wish they would've used a different material as well. Not sure what would've been more appropriate, but the fabric it has seems a bit too thin.
One of my favorite Batman’s and this statue does justice to those movies.
Thanks for watching today!
Got this one coming in today! It will be my first 1/3 scale piece. Can’t wait.
Wow congrats!!

Thank you so much, I love hearing that!!
Head and face sculpts fall short for me. The rest is pretty dope.. but it has to be spot on for me to consider.. this is a pass. thanks for the look!
My pleasure, thanks for checking it out!
That intro scared me.
muhahahahahahahaa :)
Hey Chris thanks it looks good but the likeness could be better and the cape hold be different material and fix that wrinkling but still looks great!
Agreed, still a home run for QS, just wish that jaw looked a little more like him!
@@BatmanStatueCollector ya man I agree on that as well

My favorite statue is bane vs batman
I'm so lucky to own that one 😌
Overall it’s a nice piece. The unmasked portrait is good but the cowl one is not even close! Hate to say it, just my personal opinion, I have seen so many do a lot better. Specially for that price point.
Really appreciate your thoughts!!
Nice video chris love your channel!🔥 I do think he looks overall amazing🔥 my favourite batman. And its your favourite movie so i would go for it if i was you. They belong to each other and looks amazing displayed together

Thanks as always Leo!
I believe it's a must-have especially if you already have the joker. How could you even second guess this?
I know I shouldn't be LOL
I definitely agree Chris. Still an amazing piece though
🤘🤘🤘‼️

@@BatmanStatueCollectorYou got it!
Am i seeing this right all 3 versions are sold out on queens studio website.
I believe so.
The best 1:3 Bale Batman! Until JND Studio's version is revealed next month of course ;)

Looks good, but his lips are a lil red for my liking. Great video as always
Thanks Cassidy!
Hello ! I will have this version, but are you sure it is the deluxe ? I pre ordered premium edition with sculpted hairs 😀
The premium version has the rooted hair.
@@BatmanStatueCollector Hello, i saw thant deluxe is rooted hair, and premium with sculpted hair, but it is not important it is beautiful

I agree, they did a really nice job with it!
Nice statue, but I don't think it's mandatory for your Ledger set-up. If you want it, that's another story.
Its the perfection!!!!¡¡🦇🦇🦇😭😭😭😭😭🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Boom!!
Good video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
Am I the onIy one who still wants a Batman Begins Scarecrow statue (tho) ? 😂
I DO!!
The cowl sculpt looks nothing like Bale, the only reason to buy this is for the Bruce Wayne sculpt, so unless you plan on displaying it without the cowl l wouldn't buy it.
It's nice but really big have to be careful with the space in My room never enough room.
Never enough
From the video, I'm just not feeling it. Maybe in hand, it is better.
The head is horrible, especially the eyes. The Bale face is acceptable IMO
Appreciate your thoughts
Seriously dull!
