Light flesh head with white headband printing to simulate goggles under the cowl, dual-sided with 'angry' and 'neutral' stern expressions. Topped with a black pointed-ear bat cowl.

Dark bluish gray torso with intricate muscle and armor plate printing inspired by the Dark Knight movie suit. Features a small bat logo and high-detail copper-colored utility belt.

Color Scheme
Dark bluish gray, black, and light flesh, with copper accents on the belt and boots.
Printing Details
Extremely high precision pad printing on the torso (front and back) and legs (front). The alignment of the belt across the hip piece is a key quality marker.
Variants
Differs from sh002 (Comic version) and sh595 (2019 version) by the specific armor plating design and the presence of copper-colored boot tips.
Condition Notes
Prone to fraying on the fabric cape edges. Check for cracks in the heels of the dark bluish gray legs and neck-torso stress marks.

Character Background
Based on Christian Bale’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman in Christopher Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' and 'The Dark Knight Rises'.
Design Notes
First Batman figure to feature such realistic movie-accurate armor plating and tactical boot printing, moving away from the 'classic' comic look.
Similar Minifigures
sh002 Batman, sh596 Batman (1989), sh802 Batman (The Batman 2022).
Collectibility
High demand among DC collectors due to the popularity of the Nolan trilogy and the exclusivity of the set it appeared in.
History
Followed the 2011 SDCC exclusive version, providing a more accessible (though still expensive) movie-accurate Dark Knight for fans.
Interesting Facts
The 'copper toes' printing was a very specific detail added to match the tactical boots used in the actual film costume, a level of detail rare for 2014.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on the official 'The Tumbler' display stand with its companion sh133 Joker minifigure.
Modification Potential
The head with the white headband is often sought after for custom 'masked' superheroes using various cowls or helmets.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier licensed minifigure with excellent detail, held back only by its lack of arm printing which appeared in later anniversary versions.
