Well, it's an easy pass. The face sculpt is butt ugly. It looks like Jay Leno under the cowl with that gigantic chin. Too bad. I'm guessing it will be a year before we see the HT version for sale.

Well the pics bout one year old, possibly they changed the sculpt and corrected the problem
 
they already have released a kit from Horizon with almost the same sculpt and even if the kit is several years older I think the sculpt of the Horizon kit is better than the statue DC is releasing now.

I bought the bust today from my local comic store, it's pretty nice. The presentation of the box is great and the bust itself is good.

Unfortunately when I opened it the batarang was broken in it's hand. Not quite sure how that happened. It was out on display and I watched the owner put it inside the foam and it didn't look broken. Thankfully he was nice enough to order another one so I can replace it.

If you can get it for a relatively cheap price (the prices are pretty low on ebay), I recommend it if you're a Batman or Keaton Batman fan. It's really not much and the quality isn't that great, but it is modern '89 Batman product, something that's been non-existent for awhile now. If you can get it for around $40, I'd say go for it. Just beware of the batarang, ears and gauntlet blades.

I saw the statue in person. While the body is better, much better than the initial pics above it still has those wonky eyes. I didn't buy it because it's too expensive for sub-par product.
 
I actually thought it looked much more impressive in person than in photos, still not a great likeness though, which is a shame. The Keaton/Batman movies are my faves, so had this been up to par, it would have been an easy purchase for me.
