I know. I was stunned to see this on their site. Even the display stand looks awful.

Not sure what went wrong between the prototype and final product (setting aside the fact that the proto pics might have been from a hard resin master and not an actual silicone pull) but this is an unmitigated disaster. And the sole purpose of the stand/bust seems to be to prevent the cowl from crumbling. I can’t believe they’re going to release this greasy mess for 1K+.
There’s literally a dozen of cowl makers out there who could do a much better job for a third of that price. Why not just hire those guys ? Between these updated pictures and the cowl on display at SDCC it’s obvious they are in over their heads. Feeling really bad for anyone who preordered based on the proto pics.

Well, for me, personally, I’m still hoping that DN produces a Lewis Wilson Batman Movie Serial Cowl, constructed from accurate materials: old, used, bed sheets harvested to create the cowl and “bat horns” stuffed full of old pillow filler.
This is The Batman that truly strikes fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere…

Not to derail the thread but what is everyone's thoughts on this cowl from Purearts?
www.purearts.com
They describe it as a "Poly-hybrid mixed media". I'm guessing it won't be wearable or flexible but will have the texture of a rubber cowl.

Personally I think the Purearts is a very cool cowl, with a great base and durable materials but IMO it’s more an interpretation rather than a true replica.
Even if it’s listed as a cast lineage cowl, they took a lot of liberties on the sculpt that for me is too much oriented Returns rather than 89.
A cool piece, but more a mix of Burton’s era rather than a true 89 replica.
Concerning the Deno Nuovo, it’s a total disaster.
seriously look at the emblem!
It’s even not embossed anymore like it was on the proto.
Just a poor logo print.
one of the worst scams of this last 10 years of the hobby

I wouldn't pay $9 for that horror let alone $950.
I seem to have missed the part in Batman (1989) where Bruce Wayne ordered 20 lbs of black licorice to manufacture his cowl...I found it here:

BBTS still has it up for pre-order: Batman 1989 Collector Cowl Costume Accessory
They are using the original promo image as the first photo, and the actual shipping disaster product for the rest of the photos.
This seems like a crime.

As far as I'm concerned, it is.

I’m surprised they didthat. They were aware when I called to canceled my preorder months ago. January methinks. Don’t let the nonrefundable deposit fool u cuz I got it back in store credit.

Removed from their website and no longer available to pre-order. I think this is dead in the water.
