Bottom half looks like he's trying to hold in his pee. So much of his profile looks like Ryan Reynolds but then they decided to go with lip fillers.

When I first saw the teaser, I was thinking "ok, this has potential". And then I saw the new pics. Wow, easy pass for me. I am not a fan of the portrait at all and that pose and some of the body proportions are just...off. I'll stick with my old SSC Hal. Money saved.

Ch’p just issued a sigh of relief. There is plenty I like about this, but it gets kinda wonky from the waste down.

I like the pose. I think it's refreshing, tells a story, it's museum without being cliche museum. But yea, I'm really distracted by the muscles. While this is more comic book (which I like), it's almost the cliche 90s where EVERYBODY was jacked comic book.

It's like Bel did an anatomically correct Rob Liefeld inspired statue with feet.
Depends on who’s Batman it is





Batman is weird anyway because with his physical feats he’d have to be super jacked but he’d also have to be light enough to do what he does. But as Bruce Wayne he can’t seem too big. He’s just about impossible.

But we have a perception…there’s what comics present, and reality. We know comic book bodies are exaggerated and stylized, but it seems like for larger scale statues most of us, when it comes to the “normal” sized human bodies (so Green Lantern, Flash, Batman as opposed to Bane, Sabretooth), prefer a balance of realistic proportions with some slight comic book exaggeration, but not too much exaggeration.

This Green Lantern for many seems to cross the line into “too much” exaggeration. But, it looks straight out of a comic book, which the character is. If that was the goal, its been accomplished. Because the muscles are certainly in line with some comic art.







I’m getting the Michael Turner vibes though


But overall I agree, this one should’ve been reigned in a bit.

This will be a pass for me but mainly because I don't collect Justice League.

I'm sure the paint will look great as I love that metallic finish on the green.

But yea, congrats to those who will be getting it.

Again, at the end of the day, it's also a revisit and in the end, I am really trying to just get characters that have yet to be represented before. Not the biggest fans of rehashes unless I have yet to have that character ever in my collection.

good luck all.
