The Dark Knight Returns Battle Damaged Batman sixth scale figure unveiled by Hot Toys

February 27, 2026 by Amie Cranswick

This year marks the 40th anniversary of Frank Miller’s comic series Batman: The Dark Knight™ Returns. In this classic story, an aging 55-year-old Bruce Wayne emerges from a decade of retirement to reclaim the mantle of the Dark Knight in a decaying, crime-ravaged Gotham. No longer the sleek vigilante of his youth, this brutish Batman fights with raw ferocity against street gangs, Joker, and even a government-controlled Superman, embodying an uncompromising vision of justice in a world gone mad.

To celebrate this milestone, Hot Toys is thrilled to announce the 1/6th scale Batman (Battle Damaged Version) Collectible Figure. The figure includes a newly developed Bruce Wayne head sculpt with separate rolling eyeballs and blood paint applications that convey the sufferings of combat. An additional blue Batman cowled head comes with three interchangeable lower faces, allowing collectors to recreate moments straight from the pages of the iconic comic. The figure features a specialized muscular body that is built to convey the strength and physicality of this older, battle-hardened Dark Knight. Six interchangeable gloved hands with blood paint applications support a wide range of dynamic combat poses, including newly developed battle-damaged fists, opened gesture hands, and weapon-holding hands.

The gray battle-worn Batsuit is finely tailored in elastic fabric material, complete with realistic tears and blood paint applications. A wired and weathered blue cape flows behind him, while the utility belt, forearm gauntlets, and boots all feature blood paint applications. The figure also comes with a cowl in a mask-off state that can be attached to the body with the Bruce Wayne head sculpt, allowing for the replication of the look with the cowl removed for an alternative display style. Armed for war, Batman comes equipped with four Batarangs, a rope-attached Batarang, and a rifle. The figure is completed with a specially designed display stand.
