I love the look of it. If you pause the video at 4 seconds though and look at the anatomy the head is really small and neck very long in scale with the body. Other than that I'm loving it.
Premium Format Sideshow Batman PF?

Sideshow really needs to sculpt the body and fabric the cape only on this one. By the looks of things they aren't and they should have figured out by now that the onesie look is not the best in PF.
I hope it gets done like the Black Panther PF - that turned out super.

I couldn't agree with you more. The onesie look NEVER works. NEVER. That is the only reason Sabretooth was in stock for sooooo long. No way I pass on that piece if it didn't have the ridiculous onesie outfit. Black Panther and Gambit turned out to be GREAT pieces because they ditched the onesie costumes. Oh well, will wait for the full reveal. However, I'm just not as excited for the wait on this one anymore.

Let's be completely honest, those who aren't fans of the Premium Format, if history holds even slightly true then you'll see multiple PFs AND Comiquettes from the big tiered characters especially Batman and Superman in this license's lifetime. I'm sure that a Batman comiquette is already on the planning books for a bit down the road.
Oh man, the body does look fully clothed...I'm def not a fan of that idea. Hate it on wolverine and sabertooth. God, i hope they dont do this to batman. I was so excited about this...please get this right!
The only problem is that the comiquette will more than likely be in 1/5 scale.

My thoughts exactly. Ugh, I was hoping for fully sculpted body, mixed media cape.
Most of us want an awesome PF to go with our Joker PF, and as you can imagine, a 1/5 scale comiquette would not go well.
I was just thinking that myself but man, I really want all of these in 1/4 scale. I just don't understand why they don't stick with what really works best like with gambit...PEOPLE WANT THE NICE SCULPTED MUSCLES. I mean jesus these are SUPERHEROES...I don't want baggy clothed material covering up a nice sculpted body that an artist spent hours modeling in 3d or by hand!!!!!

SSC should have someone at their company to see all of these ideas and thoughts that fans are posting on this site. So they know what fans want and don't want. I think it could increase their business by listening to their fans...
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

That isn't the way it would turn out necessarily. While Comiquettes have been mainly featured in 1:5, their scales are not secure and bounce from various scales. Spider-Man (a clothed PF) was done as a sold 1:4 comiquette, The Punisher (again another PF) was done in 1:4 scale.
Just because it's a comiquette doesn't equal 1:5 scale, in fact quite the opposite as they are all over the map unlike PFs which have routinely maintained the 1:4 scale size.
I would guarantee you that within four years of this license they'll be multiple PFs, Comiquettes probably in multiple scales of Batman that will go with the Joker no problem. The problem is more that people don't want to wait.
Simple PFs are what put Sideshow on the Map, that is their bread and butter and whether or not some like them it is definitely their go-to, I would imagine that if it isn't a issue of an accessoried part like a light-up function (GL) or a character who isn't in fabric, that we'll see the majority in the initial offerings go the PF route.
I will tell you that he has a Batarang on his right side. Is it the EX? I dont know, but I hope to find out soon enough....
