As someone who buys statues for their accurate representation of a character (even if I think another one is cooler I won’t buy it if it’s less accurate) I’d probably go with the Queen studios one because I don’t remember Batman’s suit being shiny and having gloss grey carbon fiber everywhere
Personally, when somebody asks what me if they should buy the statue, my answer is always "Buy it if you love it." But JND? That's like..."Every Breath You Take" type of attraction.
I guess Queen slightly wins out for me as the base looks cooler and I think I like the unmasked portrait better. Both are well done, but they are really similar.
Honestly they are both great, I own the Queen debating about getting the Bale and Batman duo... I decided to preorder the Reeve Superman and CLark Kent one. That will be a holy grail piece from JND..
Hey X, another great review with visual clarity. JND wins on statue quality and accuracy to an extent. On display options, Queen wins with Joker on a 2nd base that looks waaaaay better than JND’s. % of collectors care less of the base but more on the statue. I’d definitely go with Queen Studios because their display option draws more interest than seeing Bruce Wayne standing next to masked or unmasked Batman. Sorry my Niners beat your Broncos a few weeks ago. Keep drinking in the stream.
I have the Queen piece along with the matching Joker and haven’t opened either up yet, but I would say from just a product performance base only, I would say the JND is the better looking statue, minus the unmasked head because I do think they made Bale look older and he almost looks like Sam Rockwell, but, this is also the real world and I do take value into consideration which is why I purchased the Queen Studios piece as well. I did however purchase the new JND Christopher Reeves Superman/Clark Kent pair and I am super pumped for that statue(s) when it gets released.
Is JND worth twice the price though? When you can have the Queen statue with the companion piece for the price of the JND statue. For me the JND is a hard sell, when you can get the 2 statues for the price of 1. It is only worth it, if you think it is a grail piece.
You know what, I'll take them both and just display them in different rooms... Now to convince my wife to let me spend that much money.. I need a Batman to help me!
If it were me. I would go with the Queen studios version. Not just because of the price but because it pairs well with the Heath Ledger's Joker and the Bruce Wayne portrait looks amazing. Although the Batsuit on the JND sculpt is better there is no reason to have an unmasked portrait if you can just buy a Bruce Wayne piece that looks great. Still the choice is up to the individual as to which direction they prefer to go. Decisions, decisions.
I had the Hot Toys version of this as well. Sold that when I got Queen, then upgraded to JND. Base on Queen is a nicer design as a standalone piece, but those side attachment pieces never fit right on any I see (including yours) and is a bit annoying. Suit is leagues better on the JND in every way. As far as the Bale head, I still prefer JND. I think the Queen Bale head looks better than the Queen cowl head on that piece. The JND Bale head does look slightly older than it should, but the hair is better, and it actually looks like a real person compared to the Queen. The Queen is a good value, especially if you don't need the rooted hair on the Bale head. That said I have seen the JND on sale for under retail also. I would probably get the Hot Toys version over Queen if cost was an issue though.
Seeing them side by side I think I prefer JND so that’s what I’d go with if the prices were equal. However I don’t think it’s over twice as good so if I was actually looking to buy one Queen Studios would get my money
JND is the best one. But The way he is standing with his legs is just weird to me. It’s just off for me. With the JND one but with the Queen’s studio stance would be perfect for me.
i personally own the queen studios version. love the cape on it more than any other statue i own with a fabric cape. it drapes very nicely with no wire in it, and i wouldnt want the wire. its so hard to pose these fabric capes where it looks natural and god forbid trying to clean those statues and not mess up the cape. anyway, i do think the jnd statue is more hyper real but im not a fan of how his arms look in his pose and not worth nearly 3000 with shipping, imo. the queen version looks way better in person than it ever looks in any videos ive seen and for 1000 bucks, its a good bargin and a great statue. i will say if i had unlimited funds i would own every statue jnd has made and display them all together with the classy museum bases. at the end of the day, im still very happy and totally dig my queen studios dark knight.
Cheaper can't argue with, but the JND is nicer in almost every single way and I don't want the unmasked headsculpt since I have the Bruce Wayne. I think the JND masked one looks great.
I have the JND Dark Knight Duo, and while I think the sculpt is excellent, they changed the plastic coverings to the fiber sections of the suit to be shiny and clear. On the prototype (and original movie suit), it was dull and smokey. This is where the Queen is more accurate. Honestly, I found it really annoying since JND made the change after the piece was in production, never notified customers, and your only option was to lose your deposit (in the case of the Duo version - $700). They did this with the Catwoman statue as well as others. It's the reason I've stopped purchasing their statues.
First of all, I am not buying neither. If I have to buy one, I would buy Queen instead of JND. Just because I can not stand the face is off for the price. The suit on Hot Toys 1/4 with gargoyle base is actually more accurate than both...
JND have all the nice details (with that price tag they'd better) but I can't get pass his pose. its as if he is flexing his muscle for magazine pose, never look natural everytime I look at it.
Yea and it’s hilarious, because really you’re buying the JND for the unmasked portrait, that’s the only reason why someone buys a JND and the portrait is terrible, he looks like an old man.
To compare these is pretty ridiculous. The Queen piece looks like a cheap toy in comparison to the JND. If you're going to pay a thousand dollars for a statue, you may as well go that extra mile and get a far superior product with the JND.
I don't really like the Nolan Batman movies. The JND is cooler but looks shiny... a bit like Batman & Robin is a cooler and shiny movie. Both of these suits look like he has a push up bra, and being shiny it looks like implants or something. I think I prefer the Queen as it's more subtle and grounded like the movies. I think the comic Batman statues blow these out of the water.
I think JND killed it on every category except price.
This channel deserves way more views! Thanks for the content!
Recently, you reviewed the JND, and I didn't care for it. Seeing it again, I can really appreciate how well it was done. They both look good.
Queen Studios suit looks more accurate but I like the glossiness in the JND one.

As a certified movie junkie, I can confirm that TDK is the best superhero movie out there 😌
Queen is the best value, but the JND is the better piece overall. I'm already invested in JND studios, so I would definitely get that one
I enjoy your comparison reviews , these 2 are so similar but that price gap is pretty huge
Personally, when somebody asks what me if they should buy the statue, my answer is always "Buy it if you love it." But JND? That's like..."Every Breath You Take" type of attraction.
I agree, Bale portrait on JND is a bit wonky, but the cowled version+suit is far superior than the Queen.
I guess Queen slightly wins out for me as the base looks cooler and I think I like the unmasked portrait better. Both are well done, but they are really similar.
Nice! Did you get that new custom venomized Wolverine? Looks so good. If you did I'm looking forward to your review
Yes. THere’s pictures on my social media
HHHMMM, JND BOYS... BALE WAS MY FAVORITE BATMAN. EXCEPT WHEN HE DOES THE DEEP BATMAN VOICE, LOL. THEY LOOK COOL X.👊🏽💯🥃🍺
I don't know which one to pick I have no idea 😕
Honestly they are both great, I own the Queen debating about getting the Bale and Batman duo... I decided to preorder the Reeve Superman and CLark Kent one. That will be a holy grail piece from JND..
Queen Studio Winner 👌🏻
Queen is what I would get. that double price point is a hard sale but jnd does look a bit better in most areas
Yea it’s not even close, the Dark Knight *IS* the best superhero movie ever.
Value aside JND wins its beautifully done.
Great comparison, I own the prime1 TDK Batman but I do like the JND piece

Queen studio IMO because it still looks great while be a lot cheaper in price. So I could use the extra money or other statues
I like the 1 on the right it jus looks better 2me the gloss looks better
I have the Queen piece along with the matching Joker and haven’t opened either up yet, but I would say from just a product performance base only, I would say the JND is the better looking statue, minus the unmasked head because I do think they made Bale look older and he almost looks like Sam Rockwell, but, this is also the real world and I do take value into consideration which is why I purchased the Queen Studios piece as well. I did however purchase the new JND Christopher Reeves Superman/Clark Kent pair and I am super pumped for that statue(s) when it gets released.
I like both, but the price difference is big enough to want me to get the queen studios one to get the joker statue as well
Both are awesome, but the paint and suit are better on the JND
Price is very very important in my opinion. No point stating which you prefer if affordability is an issue 😅.
Side by side that JND suit looks amazing.
Is JND worth twice the price though? When you can have the Queen statue with the companion piece for the price of the JND statue. For me the JND is a hard sell, when you can get the 2 statues for the price of 1. It is only worth it, if you think it is a grail piece.
Jnd takes my vote Mr X suit just looks a lot more movie accurate
You know what, I'll take them both and just display them in different rooms... Now to convince my wife to let me spend that much money.. I need a Batman to help me!
If it were me. I would go with the Queen studios version. Not just because of the price but because it pairs well with the Heath Ledger's Joker and the Bruce Wayne portrait looks amazing.

Still the choice is up to the individual as to which direction they prefer to go. Decisions, decisions.
the eyes look way too far apart on the queen studios cowl head jnd is more accurate.
Both are pretty great, not sure if the more expensive JND is justified tho.
Not a JND nor Queen person generally, but JND’s suit looks much better. It should for that much more though.
JND for the win overall
I like queen, just like the base more. 😊
I think I'd go with Queen on this one. Don't see the value in the JND when comparing them. Would love if Queen put another arm in holding the cow.
immediately thought JND
JND, hands down!
Nice i have the dark knight christian bale Batman lifesize statue from the 2nd movie
I have him for 8years n classic version of superman lifesize also
I had the Hot Toys version of this as well. Sold that when I got Queen, then upgraded to JND. Base on Queen is a nicer design as a standalone piece, but those side attachment pieces never fit right on any I see (including yours) and is a bit annoying. Suit is leagues better on the JND in every way. As far as the Bale head, I still prefer JND. I think the Queen Bale head looks better than the Queen cowl head on that piece.

I would probably get the Hot Toys version over Queen if cost was an issue though.
Not fond of the cowls but then again I grew up with Michael Keaton as my Batman so what do I know 😂
Pretty cool
I’ll take the QS
Seeing them side by side I think I prefer JND so that’s what I’d go with if the prices were equal. However I don’t think it’s over twice as good so if I was actually looking to buy one Queen Studios would get my money
JND is the best one. But The way he is standing with his legs is just weird to me. It’s just off for me. With the JND one but with the Queen’s studio stance would be perfect for me.
Think I'd have to give it to the JND although they are super similar. Both very cool.
i personally own the queen studios version. love the cape on it more than any other statue i own with a fabric cape. it drapes very nicely with no wire in it, and i wouldnt want the wire. its so hard to pose these fabric capes where it looks natural and god forbid trying to clean those statues and not mess up the cape. anyway, i do think the jnd statue is more hyper real but im not a fan of how his arms look in his pose and not worth nearly 3000 with shipping, imo. the queen version looks way better in person than it ever looks in any videos ive seen and for 1000 bucks, its a good bargin and a great statue. i will say if i had unlimited funds i would own every statue jnd has made and display them all together with the classy museum bases. at the end of the day, im still very happy and totally dig my queen studios dark knight.
Queen
Both are reasonably accurate but I’m just not a fan of such dull museum poses, especially at those prices.
i like the JND better but I like Queens price much better but overall JND wins in looks
I don't do movie stuff, so I'm not passionate with way, but if I were getting, Queen wins due to price.
I think JND looks better, BUT if I’m choosing between them - Queen bc I’d rather save the $1500
Considering the huge price gap, the queen studios version wins this one. There isn't enough for me there to justify the price difference.
Queen for the win. Cheaper and better head sculpt. I like a good value statue.
Cheaper can't argue with, but the JND is nicer in almost every single way and I don't want the unmasked headsculpt since I have the Bruce Wayne. I think the JND masked one looks great.
4:10 min just look how queen studio did great job or 7:10queen studio for the end.
Queen Studio, more bang for your buck.
I like queen studios Bale Batman more, it's my opinion of course.
Your audio sounds weird on this video.
I used a ventriloquist
@@TheXtremeChannelMrX hahahaha good one
Both have their pros
I prefer the queen pose and suit more, jnd looks a too shiny
Based on your video I'd say the JND looks to be about $300 better. $2,500 is way overpriced for how similar they are.
Yea there’s no way the JND is worth double the price, JND are overhyped & overpriced.
It is hard to make a choice. cuz. both are amazing art piece . But I will choice JND ( if ignore the value factor )
JND Batman is the best in the market
Christian Bale portrait is very tricky to make. If you dont pick the right expression, he might look like George w Bush.
JND is better statue. But Queen gives a better value for the money.
Both are good
Queen wins in my book... Size, Cowl Look, Base and Price...
JND is the winner for me but that price...
Eh idk, both have things I like and don’t like. We need a 3rd party to enter 😂
I have the JND Dark Knight Duo, and while I think the sculpt is excellent, they changed the plastic coverings to the fiber sections of the suit to be shiny and clear.

BATMAN,!1 OF THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! ❤ THEM! THANK YOU!!!😂
Left for me!
First of all, I am not buying neither. If I have to buy one, I would buy Queen instead of JND. Just because I can not stand the face is off for the price. The suit on Hot Toys 1/4 with gargoyle base is actually more accurate than both...
I prefer queen studios.
Just another batman to me
Jnd all day
JND version
JND have all the nice details (with that price tag they'd better) but I can't get pass his pose. its as if he is flexing his muscle for magazine pose, never look natural everytime I look at it.
Yea and it’s hilarious, because really you’re buying the JND for the unmasked portrait, that’s the only reason why someone buys a JND and the portrait is terrible, he looks like an old man.
JND is far superior. Not in the same league, Queen looks like a toy.
It’s da bubbies
I think the queen portrait is way better thw jnd is to thin faced!!imo
They are well made & look great, but both are boring in my opinion
Broncos lost to Jets. and our qb sucks. But our defense won the game.
IRONIC! Our defense LOST it for us lol
To compare these is pretty ridiculous. The Queen piece looks like a cheap toy in comparison to the JND. If you're going to pay a thousand dollars for a statue, you may as well go that extra mile and get a far superior product with the JND.
So u own the JND?
Not worth this much money
I don't really like the Nolan Batman movies. The JND is cooler but looks shiny... a bit like Batman & Robin is a cooler and shiny movie. Both of these suits look like he has a push up bra, and being shiny it looks like implants or something. I think I prefer the Queen as it's more subtle and grounded like the movies. I think the comic Batman statues blow these out of the water.
