I might be wrong, but i believe Michael was referring to the hilt with his "batman" attribution, not the sheath.
Very unusual keris Kai Wee (the first one). I have never seen this variation on this hilt form which is generally plain like your second example (is this one missing it's metal "ferrule"?). The carved markings are nice. And i agree with Michael, it does indeed resemble batman.
