NeutralNoodle Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 This should hopefully look very awesome. I hope it’s not as bulky as the Captain Marvel helmet and we get a unique Bruce Wayne face as well.
PGBQW Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Do we think this cowl will be used in the Flash set or it will debut in the D2C? Or perhaps it's designed to look a litte bit more... Animated?

Or perhaps it's designed to look a litte bit more... Animated? I definitely expect this to be in the flash set. I imagine it will basically be the type 2 cowl but with the white eyes. VERY VERY HYPED!! But to your point about it being a bit more animated…it makes me realize that lego will likely just use this cowl on all Batman minifigs moving forward, for better or worse. Hopefully this one size fits all looks great!
TheBatstan Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 I never thought this day would come. I remember people asking for something like this since 2006 with the original Batman sets, but I always assumed Lego was going to stick with the white headband printing till the end of time. My only fear is that I hope it doesn't end up like the Captain Marvel helmet that makes the head look like a bobblehead. If Lego keeps it around the same size as the 3 pre-existing cowl pieces but with the white eyes already filled in, it'll be perfect. And if the cowl piece is one without a chin strap like the 2015/Batfleck cowl, please let the ears be slightly longer this time. If it is, It's going on my Battinson figure the second I get my hands on one.
spiderfan2000 Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Looks like the new Keaton Batman (with new cowl) is now on IG under the usual hashtag. Edited March 15, 2023 by spiderfan2000

NeutralNoodle Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Looks kinda goofy tbh, but I’m sure it’ll look better on a comic version. I’m definitely glad I have the previous Keaton figure.
LegoDCfan536 Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Can someone post a picture of the cowl? Also, who would like to see an animated series batmobile. Edited March 15, 2023 by LegoDCfan536
Nylock Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Can’t lie, I do not think this looks great. It’s the type 3 cowl but with a chinstrap and huge white eyes. Might just be this particular photo though, I’ll reserve my judgement for official pics. But just as important, the torso on this figure is actually the suit from Batman Returns. So I believe this to be the figure we are getting in the 1992 poly bag. Sweet. 46 minutes ago, TheBatstan said: Me and my big mouth. Yeah it really does look bulbous. 1 hour ago, Nylock said: it makes me realize that lego will likely just use this cowl on all Batman minifigs moving forward, for better or worse. Yeaaaah. The short ears are very inaccurate to Keatons batman. Oh well, I hope they also give the flash a new cowl mold too

Maybe it'll look better from other angles, but this one isn't doing it for me. I'm fine "breaking my one rule" and just slipping white paper between the head and cowl. Also, WHY? Keaton's batman doesn't even have the white eyes. I've had this problem with a lot of the batman figures. Just give them the correct eyes. 28 minutes ago, LegoDCfan536 said: Can someone post a picture of the cowl? Also, who would like to see an animated series batmobile.

LegoDCfan536 Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Thank you. I was able to find it and one thing that bothers me is the big white eyes which just look out of place.

At least the torso looks great, though I can't tell if this is supposed to be Keaton's suit from The Flash or Batman Returns. Then again, the leaked concept art had Keaton wearing the Returns Batsuit in some images, and we all know how Lego likes to make minifigures based on early concept art rather than the final product. Looks like I'm going to have to wait for the HD pics to see if I'll have to stock up on Type 2 cowls.
thephantasm Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 (edited) Why is the new ironman helmet and batman cowl so oversized and goofy You could say dual moulding for this but the ironman one didnt have that Edited March 15, 2023 by thephantasm
Robert8 Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Eyes are way too big But the pic was taken with a potato. Lets it looks better in the "flesh"
SuperSquidman Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Is the cowl not pushed down all the way? It kind of appears to be, if it isn’t at least the eyes would be more lined up with where they should be on the head, although I wonder if then there may be too much space between the chin piece and the chin.

BrickBob Studpants Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 I don‘t care if it‘s oversized. We finally get a new Batcowl!! Good riddance, head band

This is literally the one that didnt need a new cowl
BrickBob Studpants Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Well, we got what we asked for! If you don’t like the new cowl, there’s no shortage of the old ones

strangely Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 Perhaps this new cowl is supposed to be Batman the Animated Series inspired (hence the white eyes) and they're just opting to use it for Keaton too.

I do see the resemblance. There are no TAS sets rumoured for this year though Then again, they might be planning ahead for that Gotham skyline set from the survey leak
