Well I discovered a couple years ago I was living just next to another toy photographer couple, so we jumped from instagram to real friendship pretty fast, those toy photoshooting dinners are happening a couple times every month now!

Thank you very much Diana! We didn't have much to do on this background, the bat-armory is such a stunning piece, once the lights are on, it's doesn't take much to get some superb shots thanks to the level of finish and the amount of details... We mostly played with color spotlights around the scene, and blew some vape smoke while shooting

Thanks a lot Sky, that's funny you mention the films, and I utterly appreciate the compliment, because that's what we had in mind at that time. We were discussing our favorite batman, the way the DCEU explores mutliple paths but fails to build a solid universe, and we agreed that the Joker movie was very close to the Nolan trilogy in terms of realism and visually as well... So we went with the idea of a sequel to that movie including Christian Bale's batman.

Thanks bro! In fact I think this armory was copied a few times by smaller companies, it's available empty or with less accessories and weapons inside, at various price points... I even saw a 1/12th scale version at kghobby

Thank you Mark! Indeed that's the minor FX I added, the painting on the armor, and the light/smoke from joker's cigarette.

I am no Batman fan... (but if it has to be Batman, it has to be Nolan/Bale)
Nevertheless I would have caved at this bargain...
and love Phoenix‘ Joker.
Thanks a lot, I did resist for a while to that batman figure, hearing critics about the suit, the cape, the limited articulation... In the end it's glorious, yes it's not meant to pose in very dynamic stances, but damn the details are crazy. And I agree with you NOlan's batman stays my favorite overall!

Thank you very much!!!
Another quick shot, easy one, I built myself a catwoman out of several manufacturer's parts, only the boots are hot toys in the end lol... I staged them super easily in front of my tv while in the "photomode" of the recent ps4 game "batman arkham knight"
Hope you'll like!
