Batman Forever Merchandise Review - Nightmare Bat from McFarlane

Finally completing my McFarlane set of Batman Forever figures with the Nightmare Bat build a figure.

As I say in the video, this was an odd choice for a fifth figure for the line. I can't help feel that there was probably some rights issue with Nicole Kidman's likeness rights.

Still, it is kind of fun to put together and put alongside the rest of the figures. All in all I really appreciate McFarlane doing this line but can't help but feel they are all a little compromised. I actually think the B&R figures came out better. Maybe it's just my expectations.

I have the Forever batmobile (and Alfred figure) to review and I'll get around to that very soon.

I'm still hoping to get the white suited Riddler figure that came out a few weeks back. Struggling to find anywhere online that sells one.

Concept Art: More Costumes

Here's a couple more costumes sketches that I've found. Particularly interesting to see the weird devices that are on Two Face and Riddler's heads. Were these early version of Nygma's box?

Concept Art: More Locations

Here's a few more concept art paintings of the locations featured in the film. Absolutely gorgeous. It's amazing to see how closely they were followed in the film.

Miscellaneous Content: Photo of Stephen Goldblatt on set

Here's a rare photo of Stephen Goldblatt - the director photography - on the set of Batman Forever with Nicole Kidman setting up a shot (I think) where the camera pulls out of the hole in the bank wall.

Promotional Photos: Wardrobe Tests for Chase, Sugar, Spice and Two-Face

Here's some interesting pics I've been sitting on. Wardrobe tests for Chase and Two-Face. I think these are Wardrobe Tests rather than Promo Shots because of the plain background and the fact that the make-up seems different from the final movie - Two-Face in particular seems slightly darker purple and a little creepier looking.

Want to see some funny photos of Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman in some awkwardly posed promotional photos? Of course you do. Who wouldn't.
