McFarlane Toys / DC Direct has something a little different in store for Batman fans today. They're set to launch a 1:1 scale replica of the cowl worn by Michael Keaton in the 1989 Batman film. It doesn't appear to be a wearable piece, but it does include a stand for display, measuring 24.5-inches tall. Pricing information wasn't available at the time of writing, but it is expected to go up for pre-order starting today, July 24th at 9am PT / 12pm ET right here at Entertainment Earth priced at $159.99 (free U.S. shipping on orders $59+). UPDATE : Amazon has the cowl listed for $99.99 , which might be a pricing error.
This isn't the first time that McFarlane Toys / DC Direct has dabbled with replicas. The Riddler Puzzle Box ($99.99) from last year comes readily to mind. They also made a replica of Harley Quinn's baseball bat ($44.99) to celebrate the character's 30th anniversary. Still, this is the first full-scale cowl replica that they've produced, and Michael Keaton's Batman from Tim Burton's classic 1989 film is an ideal choice to kick things off. Hopefully we'll see more down the line.

In other McFarlane Toys news, four new DC Multiverse figures are set to go up for pre-order this week, including Batman/Superman Fusion (World's Finest), Dick Grayson Batman (Batman: Reborn), Adam West Batman '66, and a vampire Shazam (DC vs Vampires). Three of these figures will be general releases while the fourth figure will be a Walmart Collector Con / SDCC 2024 exclusive. Everything you need to know to get your hands on them can be found below.
At the moment, The Brave and the Bold is a bit of a mystery. DC Studios has started off the James Gunn and Peter Safran era with a lot of fun plans. One of the biggest announcements was their Batman project. Longtime fans are excited to see what this Bat-Family-centric take on The Caped Crusader will be like. Damian Wayne fans, your time is here, and this time we're going to see the character in live-action.
" This is the introduction of the DCU's Batman ..." Gunn previously wrote. "This is the story of Damian Wayne, who is Batman's actual son who we didn't know existed for the first eight to 10 years of his life. He was raised as a little murderer and assassin. He's a little son of a bitch. He's my favorite Robin. It's based on the Grant Morrison comic book's run, which is one of my favorite Batman runs, and we are putting that all together right now."
"And this is obviously a feature film, and it's going to feature other members of the extended 'Bat-family', just because we feel like they've been left out of the Batman stories in the theater for far too long," Safran added during the announcement.
