I have already posted somewhere in this tread somethinga bout the licence, that Hot toys HAS the batman licence.....there is no difference between the Nolan movies and the Burton movies, they are all under the same licence..
edit: here is that post I meant about the license that was obtained by hot toys for the Bat-franchise

"People had been reporting that the reason that HT had spent so much money is because they got a Master License for the Batman franchise. Meaning they could go back and do the prior films. Its been speculated that they'll go back once finished with TDK and revisit the prior films like they have with the Predator license so it'll be interesting if all of that gets flushed out. It'll also be interesting to see what likenesses they'll be able to use since a lot of that is after the fact and the actor's likeness agreements if any may not still be on the books over at WB"
With all due respect, there's actually nothing that approaches confirmed fact that Hot Toys has anything other than a Dark Knight and a (potentially) expired Batman Begins license. All that is referenced is unspecified people reporting and speculating. I would not be at all surprised if, since the series was rebooted, Warner Bros and/or DC don't want characters or likenesses from the other films produced to muddy up the franchise.
