15 Weirdest Ever Batman Movie Tie-In Toys
5. Night Hunter Batman - Batman Forever
This is another Batman figure that has no actual tie to the movie that spawned it. But it's a doozy.
What the hell is this costume supposed to do?
'Night' is right in the name, yet the suit is full of yellow patches, the accessories are yellow, and the giant hunting...claws, one supposes...are shiny silver. This isn't built for any kind of stealth at all.
The night vision goggles do make sense for Batman and we have seen them before, usually built into the cowl. In this case, they are attached to a frame on Batman's shoulders, which means that he would have to turn his whole body to see what was around him and that his head couldn't move at all. This is most impractical for walking, let alone beating up goons and swinging from roof.
Then there's the claws. Were these included so this figure could moonlight as a backhoe, digging utility trenches and swimming pools during the day? If they were supposed to be weapons, they wouldn't suit Batman because there's NO way these claws wouldn't eviscerate anything they were used on.
Imagine trying to explain to Jim Gordon that Riddler is ripped in half because you wanted to try out your new Night Hunter armour.
