Oh for sure there is totally examples of HT Batman figures that are just fine, and although the problems have somewhat hendered me from picking a Batman for my Hot Toys collection, it really just comes down to me really wanting a comic book version, or Arkham City (as close as Hot Toys might get).
I'm talking about the documented problems I've seen of the rubber hot toys uses degrading in different ways. Some of the problems include either rubber cracking, or secreting a type of oil. There are many theories as to why the suits sometimes have these problems, and with the Keaton Batman...it is theorized that the oil is due to a chemical reaction between the rubber of the suit, and the plastic of the utility belt. I've also heard of this samething happening to The Dark Knight Batman figures, and Batman Begins.

You can check out the link to read up on some of the problems people are having. However, I'm sure there are just as many Batman figures that have no problems. It's just the luck of the draw when it comes to qc in my mind. I'm hoping by the time Arkham City Batman is released Hot Toys has refined and fixed this problem...I think they already tried switching to a new kind of rubber for Keaton and the "leaks" still showed up.
