If this comes with a Keaton headsculpt, it'll almost certainly be the battle-damaged version from the end, due to the design of the figure.
The head/cowl is a large piece that sits on top of the cape, sandwiching it between the sculpt and the body of the figure.
If the Keaton sculpt was a normal version with a standard neck, then there would be no way to have the cape stay on the figure (and there'd be no Bat-emblem either, since it's part of the cowl). This is the design of both the figure and the original costume - hence no good way for him to remove his mask (he had to tear it off at the end).
However, a battle-damaged version can still have the cowl sit on top, with just the bottom of the torn headpiece - hence, the cape and the emblem would still be intact.
There's really no other way to design an alternative headsculpt.

You're right. It was the Comic Adaptation, and it wasn't even Keaton, it was Val Kilmer talking about a ******* sandwich 
**** I'm getting old. Is that a dent on Keaton's head?

Yeah, but he didn't have the scars initially. First he talks to Catwoman W/O the mask and then she ****slaps him, giving him the scars, but I guess the whole point of that head sculpt would be for it to be BD.

I think torn mask/no face damage is a great option for collectors
It really gets me how people didn't like BR back in 92. Its always been my favorite.

Maybe. I'm probably mixing up everything in my head. It's been a long time. He said witch in the comic. I'm pretty sure he said B**** in the film, but I could be wrong about that too. It's funny because the same target audience buying the comics was the same watching the film and buying the happy meals toys, which I still have.

If Anton Furst says the belt is brass, then it's brass. End of story.

Are you talking about the utility belt? If so, there's a big difference between dark/mustard yellow and brass. Maybe it was made with brass parts and painted yellow.
