It has to be the actual color.
Lighting changes constantly on screen and cannot be used as a basis for accuracy.
Look at the photos posted by I Am Toys above (post #2435) they perfectly illustrate the fact that the regular version is the more accurate and looks exactly like it does in the movie when properly lit.
The BC version is an attempt at faking it as far as I'm concerned.

No ones disagreeing about the colour of the armour I think everyone knows it's grey-there no doubt of that.
It definitely looks darker in the film though in certain scenes it looks black.
The fact it's the suit he wears to fight superman is the reason to get it though it's the whole film-batman v superman

Good point about lighting changing constantly on screen.
The suit he wears to fight Superman is still the grey suit. It just comes across as black due to lighting and effects and pretty much only when they're outdoors in the rain. Or did you mean the fact that he wears an armored suit when he fights Superman is the reason to get either version? Which in that case, I would agree.
This is true. As I've mentioned before, I can see why a lot of people feel the BC is the more accurate one because there are some scenes (particularly when they were fighting outdoors in the rain) where the suit appeared black. However, a lot of this is simply due to lighting and isn't the actual finish of the suit. Once they got indoors, you could see that the suit was more grey in color. As posted earlier as well by someone, when on display at conventions, the finish and color of the suit matches exactly what the regular version figure is.
This sort of brings up in my opinion another question though on accuracy. What is considered "accurate" now? How the suit is intended to look but doesn't necessarily reflect that on screen due to the tones and lighting used? Or how it actually comes across looking on screen, regardless of what the intended color is supposed to be?
For instance, the MoS suit. The colors of the suit in the film many times appeared very dark and muted, but the "actual" color of the suit (which I feel the stock MoS Supes figure reflects) was this:
So when we say "film accurate", do we mean what the actual colors of the suit are, or how they come across on screen due to various lighting effects and tone?
Although with the armored Batman suit, there are also several times on film where you can clearly tell the color of it is dark grey, as it actually is. As was mentioned, the gloss finish also makes the scuffs look way more pronounced than what they actually are, at any point in the film. Even when the suit at times appeared black, the cuts and scuffs never looked as pronounced as what they do on the BC figure.
Good point on the MOS suit, it looks absolutely gorgeous in that pic! I Still like how it was on screen but wish they hadn't muted it quite so much. The cape looks a lot lighter there than it did for most of the movie.
If movie accuracy if a high priority you have to get the regular armour. It's not the be all and end all for me so I went with the BC version. It looks enough like what we got on screen to still be a good representation of the fight and something in me just prefers it. We should be thankful we have the choice between two awesome figures.

Is the bandolier/upper torso strap on this figure adjustable in length at all?
Edit: Yeah it is.

The chrome version of this guy turned out great.
If they do make a more damaged version il pick it up but I'm letting off me regular version in place of the black chrome-it looks far more screen realistic

Loving this figure. Articulation is definitely limited however I would imagine he was also that limited in the movie in this costume and in the comic. Lol.

Nice but apparently it's not screen accurate.
I ordered this guy through pop culture zone on Saturday and he showed up at my local post office this morning.

I believe it's the same as what the regular Batman has. I only say that because I haven't received regular Batman yet.

Picked him up Friday night at my LCS. This is my first Hot Toys purchase. I am loving this thing:

He looks great. This is definitely one of my favorite figures at the moment. I keep making little adjustments and tweaks to him here and there.
For anyone who isn't privy of it, the bandolier/shoulder strap is adjustable in the back, so you can lengthen it a little bit. I noticed that stock it comes pretty tight around him (at least mine did), but I adjusted it to lengthen it so it sits a bit better on his shoulder and doesn't wrap essentially right underneath his arm pit, so that way it looks a bit more the way it wrapped around him in the film. Looks even better in my opinion when you do.

Thanks.
You can lengthen it a little bit, but just be careful you don't pull it all the way out of the loop hole.

Well unfortunately that is the way building a channel for your subscribers work. And I am sorry you don't like it. But social media works that way. Sorry. But thank you for the feedback

Dude congrats. This was like my 12th Hot Toy and I was still blown away by this when I held it for the first time.
I think he's saying he doesn't like seeing it at the beginning of a video, not that he doesn't like seeing it at all.
I haven't watched the video but it would be weird for the like/share/comment to be mentioned at the beginning instead of the end, if they got to the end of the video, they likely enjoyed it

Haha yeah while lengthening you should always be careful about pulling out of the loophole [emoji23]

I put them up in the beginning cause analytic research shows that most videos, especially toy reviews....viewers usually don't make it to the end. Once they get the information they need, they tend to move on. Even with my videos have a 60-70% retention, which is great...I just started putting my info at the veining. Also cause I'm sponsored now I just keep it all grouped together at the beginning. But if you do watch I hope you enjoy.
