BATMAN 1989 - Batman (Michael Keaton) - Figure 1/4 45cm

This 1/4 scale articulated figurine represents the Dark Knight as he appears in the iconic 1989 film directed by Tim Burton. Designed by manufacturer NECA, this plastic statuette stands 45cm tall and features actor Michael Keaton's likeness under the mask. The character has more than 20 points of articulation, allowing for a variety of situational options. The black armour is complemented by a genuine fabric cape. The set includes several removable accessories such as the utility belt, a Batarang, a grappling gun and interchangeable hands. The item is presented in a cardboard box with a transparent window.

In the 1989 feature film, billionaire Bruce Wayne fights crime in Gotham City under the secret identity of Batman, a shadowy creature who terrifies local criminals. The plot centres on his major confrontation with the Joker, a psychopathic gangster disfigured by acid after an altercation at the Axis Chemicals factory. This specific version of the costume, dark and rigid with its iconic yellow emblem on the chest, marks a historic break with the colourful television representations of the 1960s. The gadgets supplied with the figure, such as the grappling gun and the Batarang, illustrate the technological arsenal developed by Wayne to compensate for the absence of superpowers and wage his solitary war against the underworld and the chaos of the city.
