but its an honest mistake they both draw bats with the long ears, but bisley didnt give him long ears all the time.

[3 Dev Adam]

I’m sorry, but the yellow bat logo sort of ruins the whole stealth thing in a dark room. Not to mention it screams target.

The Yellow Bat logo is clearly explained on Frank Miller's THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS. Noob.

Tim Sale's great and all but geez, he's not THE greatest Batman artist around. There have been better artists.

[3 Dev Adam]

My uber-religious aunt told me that my She-Ra dolls were evil because only Jesus could be the prince of power (She-Ra: Princess of Power!!!).

Does that make him He-Man, then? :huh:

Darkness was soo stupid but his artwork was so good on it i ended up buying a few of the issues. BTW the game is coming out next week

I believe a small organism like a shrimp is kinda more lowlife. Presumably eaten by sexual weirdos to begin with.

The best part is when people come up with an argument like "I don´t want spandex tights but I want them to find a way for it to look exactly like he´s wearing spandex tights even if he´s wearing a bulletproof armor"...

[regwec]

Just quote one of The Guard's posts on the subject, and reply "well, it's better than Burton's idea". The resulting duel will transcend forums and last until the end of civilisation.

'animalistic', 'turn neck', 'gold symbol', 'creature of the night', 'human musculature resembling', 'liquid armour', 'bulky', 'mechanical' - have I left anything out?

[regwec]

Greyscale, mesh, kevlar, neoprene, clasps, neck, "busy", buckling, etc

Huh. Look at that. He was already fairly mobile in the BATMAN BEGINS suit.

Like a genie from the lamp.I'd like to think of it more like saying "BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE!"

Except, all you have to do is say that you like the suit. Then Guard comes out and writes the same five paragraph essay on why he hates the Batsuit in TDK that he has written over, and over, and over again. There's a rhythm to these things.

[SmileX]

Why are the people that are against the textured fabric suit always saying "and give him speedos"? He doesn't need to wear a speedo just because he is wearing a fabric suit. And when we say fabric we don't mean cotton, we mean something like the black spiderman suit.

Silvestris art on Darkness was exceptional work indeed.

The Darkness game will probably be miles better than the insipid comic.

Oh..uh...wrong topic..."teh puffy", "Robocop", "rubbery", "spandex", and such.

[regwec]

There will never be a good Batman game. It's just too cool a prospect for society to handle.

Teh creasey.

[darknight7]

I just hope that one day we get a Batman movie that is STRAIGHT COMIC BOOK...

Someday, some rich guy will say..."I have money to blow, let's do a big budget Batman movie for fans...who cares if it isn't a hit...as long as the fans love it."

That way we get Bat-mobiles, Bat-cycles, Bat-computers, Bat-caves, Bat-this and Bat-that...fabric suit, big pouched belt, All the works...it would be sic.

lol

Teh creasey.I thought that the Begins game was pretty good. And the Batman Returns game for the SNES owned everything.

Too busy, and "teh crotch".

[darknight7]

My friend and I have always talked about it, saying the coolest thing to do would be to make Batman graphic novels into movies.

But not just the story.

The style, the suit, the characters...EVERYTHING. Like Sin City style or 300 style.

You could do all the best novels...

Arkham Asylum
The Dark Knight Returns
The Killing Joke
Hush
The Long Halloween
Dark Victory


Kind of like this...

[regwec]

Actually I loved "Batman" on the C64 *puffy* but most attempts to make an original game *rubber* based on the comics alone have been a miserable failure. *spandex*.

[Sarge 2.0]

That I'll agree on,(armor plates) as the Gamecube game that was comic based from a few years ago (animalistic) was incredibly painful.

Part of me is excited by this kind of idea, but as i was seeing Sin City part of me was "wow, it´s just like the graphic novel" and part of me was "you know, I already saw all this, no surprises here".

[darknight7]

what do you mean by "I saw all this"

Do you mean...you already read the comic, so it doesn't feel like anything special?

If that picture was a real costume it would be the real-life interpretation of the very first bat-costume seen in Detective Comics 27. Hehe, blue. erm. The first Batman costume was Black and grey

[ArmyDragon92A]

http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/detective-comics/27-1.jpg

The blue was used as a highlight. Similar to Venom being black but always being drawn using blue highlights.

[ultimatefan]

what do you mean by "I saw all this"

Do you mean...you already read the comic, so it doesn't feel like anything special?

--dk7

I mean that part of the reason why I read graphic novels in the first place is to be suprised, to read and see something I haven´t seen or read before, something unique. Sure, of course the actors and movement and stuff give a different life to the graphic novel, it´s cool, but I´m just not particularly crazy about knowing every line and every plot point before I see it. I guess I´d feel the same about a new Hamlet adaptation or something like that.

[darknight7]

I gotcha...i see what you're saying.

I never read 300, so I all the lines in the movie and action was all new to me, so I guess if I had read it first, I would have got a different feel. You are absolutely correct.

--dk7

[Crook]

I understand the feeling, but you can't have the same expectations for a movie as you do with a comic. Yes, it'd be nice to look at something and not know every detail, but once you cross media platforms, I think that's an exception.

Now if we were talking movies being too similar to other movies *cough*SR*cough*, then yes, I totally agree.

I think that even when you cross the same material from a media to another, there´s nothing wrong with adding some of your own input and adding some freshness to it, even if you still follow closely the core elements of the material.

I agree, but I see nothing wrong with faithfully adapting as much you can either. Especially if a very significant majority of the people going into the flick haven't read the source material the film is translating.

I totally forgot about that issu
its just a 1 issue special right?\jeph Loeb right?
I use to have it cant seem to find it right now
will prolly end up buying it again at comicon or something

It comes from knowing batman's so far beyond the fat thugs he fights that shooting him would be a miracle.

But who knows... we don't know all the details yet. maybe he falls into some lava pit and afterwards needs this suit to help him breathe.

[Agentsands77]

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/matthewallison/batmannewsuit-1.jpg
Good manip, but honestly, I prefer the DARK KNIGHT suit. By a big margin.

[Sun_Down]

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/matthewallison/BatsBegins6.jpg

I freakin' love that! Great work :up:

[breyfogle_rules]

For the record, this here would be my dream Batsuit.
Yes, its dark blue. Imagine if they did EVERYTHING exactly the same in Begins, except the suit was this. Would it really have taken you out of the movie too much?
People say it would never work on screen. That a bat is not blue, etc.
But is a spider red? No, and Spidey worked. You may say his movies are camp, thats why. Well, by this logic, why did everyone universally applaude Iron Mans costume? Red and yellow? Please! In a "real world" situation, they probaly should have made him gun metal grey. But they didnt. And its great.
Going blue is the last word on finally getting a bat film right, visually.

And I'm 100% behind what Nolans doing and think it's great.

But why all this denial that batman is blue? If they made that kind of change with any other hero there would be blood in the streets.

Maybe its because when I was 12 and the biggest Bat fan ever and B89 came out I hated it and it didnt make an impression on me. I'm still untainted.
Or something.

All I'm saying is, blue could work. All you have to do is keep everything the same...just make him dark blue and grey.

Why Grey?

[breyfogle_rules]

Hey, it worked on Harvey Keitel in Bad Lieutenant. His navy blue didnt take me out of the scenes where he's smoking crack and raping prostitutes. Wasn't too cheery then.

But I see your point.

[Agentsands77]

Would it really have taken you out of the movie too much?
Yes. Because Batman is supposed to be dark and intimidating - a scary creature of the night. Gray and blue doesn't cut it, and that manip you posted immediately reminds me of Adam West - a harder-edged Adam West costume, to be sure, but it still reminds me of it.

Going blue is the last word on finally getting a bat film right, visually.
Only if you think the comic book designs are perfect as is.

But why all this denial that batman is blue?
Sometimes it's blue. Sometimes it's black.

At the very least, this probably proves that the symbol is black, and not gold.

[The Kid]

[breyfogle_rules]

Yes. Because Batman is supposed to be dark and intimidating - a scary creature of the night. Gray and blue doesn't cut it, and that manip you posted immediately reminds me of Adam West - a harder-edged Adam West costume, to be sure, but it still reminds me of it.

He's also a hero representing the power of good. Dark Blue and dark grey are plenty dark. We have a 50 year comic legacy to back this up. Does the current detective run remind you of Adam West? Squint your eyes and tilt your head a bit, it will work great. Does Tobey Mcguire's suit remind you of those bad 70's movies where the guy just throws a net?


Only if you think the comic book designs are perfect as is.

Yep. Love Batman comic books. Particularly Miller's Dark Knight Returns. Don't you?


Sometimes it's blue. Sometimes it's black.

93% it's blue. 6% its black (from over 50 years ago). 1% it's freakin Azrael or whatever.

it´s probably just the "BatPod-rider-Batman" figure or something...

Edit: my mistake, the batpod-rider looks better it seems...

[The Kid]

looks to me this was done for the bike only.

I'm guessing this is the movie suit. Just with the blue it looks different.

[Bond]

Other than the coloring, it looks really good I think.
Agreed.

Just a ****ty coloring job by Mattel.

[the_monk]

ohhh my eyes!!! that looks horrid! he looks more like some kind of freaky Aquaman.

[StarvingArtist]

Lol I'm sorry but I just have to post again how much that figure is complete, mind-numbingly crap. The suit looks like a freakin rorshach test. Seriously, what the hell is going on at Mattell...

[breyfogle_rules]

Can people now put to rest the grey being on the suit because as you can see it looks ridiculous.

I think its the Pointer Sisters pattern style that's throwing me off, personally.

[Killing Joke926]

Here's a better look of the suit:

Pretty cool; but if it was me, I'd make sure that all BatMan figures and even all actions figures themselves would all be made by NECA.

Nolan should have left his franchise in NECA's hands; he would be happy, they would be happy, and we would be in heaven.:woot:

[regwec]

Can people now put to rest the grey being on the suit because as you can see it looks ridiculous.

Don't be absurd. You could equally argue that the toy proves that black looks bad on the Batman suit. Both colours looks terrible because they are interspersed in a seemingly haphazard fashion.

The toy isn't all that bad- it just needs to be recoloured.

[Bond]

Is that a different suit for the motorcycle toy also? Looks like it has a black belt...

[dark_b]

i cna not belive htis.

this toy means nothing. it was made for this show to show batman on the bike. this means noooooooooooooooothing.

[DSET]

he looks like a character from tron

thankgod it wont look like this in the movie

[Steelsheen]

Can people now put to rest the grey being on the suit because as you can see it looks ridiculous.

well that shade of grey yeah.

btw, that looks more blue-grey, so that takes down the Blue fans too.

[Doc Holliday]

God I hope that isn't really what the segments of the suit look like. If it wasn't for the ears on the cowl I wouldn't have any idea it was supposed to be Batman. Can't even see the bat symbol hardly.

[regwec]

btw, that looks more blue-grey, so that takes down the Blue fans too.

And the black fans, too. 2/3 of it is black, after all.

[Kaizer]

i cna not belive htis.

well, that´s not necessarily the case, considering there are two toys on display one riding the bike, and a bigger one, standing alone. The big one is probably showing off the suit, but in a horrid way....

[DSET]

God I hope that isn't really what the segments of the suit look like. If it wasn't for the ears on the cowl I wouldn't have any idea it was supposed to be Batman. Can't even see the bat symbol hardly.

yeah the segmented stuff is worrying the hell out of me

cant wait to see a different shot of the batman suit in the light

[Crook]

I don't really see what's the problem. Just imagine that the cyan parts are black, and you'll see it's just like the promo shot.

Also worthy of note, are the cape attachments. Clasps are gone, but it still looks like we won't be getting the "fully draped" appearance.

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a376/matthewallison/batmannewsuit-1.jpg

Really good job with the body. Now if the suit had a bit of a texture to it, something like granite (can't stop thinking about it since Sandman138 brought it up). But this is good, this is what I mean about the fabric over the armor.

Cowl would need to be adjusted.

[regwec]

Complete balls. The problem with the damn thing is the horrible patterning and colour contrast. Without the black it would look fine. And where have you ever, ever heard anyone call for grey and black to be combined in a checkboard pattern accross Batman's whole body? You haven't. You have just invented the idea and falsely ascribed it to others.

we're not devolving into another Black vs Blue argument are we?

I think that, by the time the 3rd movie rolls around, we'll have a Batsuit that is totally fabric.

i was responding to Majik's post about grey being on the suit looking ridiculous. he was knocking the grey supporters. i said if that's the case then that the blue on the suit would look ridiculous as well, give than this shade of "grey" is more blue-grey than simply just grey, that takes out the blue supporters as well.

then you blew a fuse and here we are now.

He's also a hero representing the power of good. Dark Blue and dark grey are plenty dark. We have a 50 year comic legacy to back this up. Does the current detective run remind you of Adam West? Squint your eyes and tilt your head a bit, it will work great. Does Tobey Mcguire's suit remind you of those bad 70's movies where the guy just throws a net?
Yep. Love Batman comic books. Particularly Miller's Dark Knight Returns. Don't you?
93% it's blue. 6% its black (from over 50 years ago). 1% it's freakin Azrael or whatever.
Dude!!!! Put the pipe DOWN!!!!! I swear you will stop seeing blue Batman chasing you in your nightmares. You will come to accept the Dark Knight that is the black. Even Frank Miller's Dark Knight was in black. Hell when I spoke to Norm Breyfogle back in his MuddPack tour even he said he prefered Batman dressed in black.

on the toy it looks glue on if not slightly tucked into the plastic. i doubt they glued Bale's cape onto his shoulders so maybe they have it either tucked into the suit or using a string hidden somewhere :huh:

and you got riled up on that? geezus :whatever: geta grip Reg. some would love the Blue. some loves the Black. we've been posting proof of why one shade/ color wont work in real life. i didnt say "blue will never work". but now we see have a shade of blue in a real life action figure and we can see the results.

and talk about mistakened assumptions. you do know i'm a Black/GreyBlack supporter right? saying that i'm targeting the grey supporters mean i'm targeting myself. duh!

WHY WHY WHY doesn't DC direct do the sculpts!!!:huh:

I have amazing DC figures from gotham by gaslight, the dark knight returns etc, and they are beautiful works of art. Batman movie figures always look pretty awful but begins are worse than the 89 batman imho.:ninja:

With this being said, i do not understand the look of the suit other than its a motorcycle suit. The small symbol on the chest gets me all kind of angry:cmad:

On first look my friends all went COOL!!!!(they are a misxture of film, comics and industry geeks like myself) But after a bit of the hype of a picture being released faded away, everyone pretty much think the suit is almost silly.

I'm sooo damn excited for this film, even for ledgers sick Joker(and my collegues who are working closer to the film are telling me the Joker goes thru transitions throughout the film----nothing really new i know), and eckhart's Dent.

The suit just brings my excitement down a peg( but im still 9/10 on the excitement chart:hyper: )

http://wizarduniverse.com/_images_/004902/BatmanToy1.jpgI know it's just a toy, but this still isn't helping me like the new suit. Really starting to look like Iron-Bat. I loved the BB suit and I do agree he needs more neck flexibility but this might take me some getting used to.

To me it helps a lot, those blue areas are fabric, if the measures are close to right this is indeed a more loosen suit with less rubber and more freedom of movement, while still protecting.

I was hoping a toy might give us a better idea of the cape attachment.

Sadly, this toy doesn't give a good indication of anything.

I believe this may be a repaint. The Begins figures had such repaints--for example, there was on figure that was black in grey, though the normal one was black. I suspect this particular repaint will be packaged with the bike.

The figure is not the best indicator (since some details are plainly different than the picture), but we can draw some conclusions. One: the cape attachment is more traditional, like I've been speculating. If it is connected on the suit in the same place is it on this figure, perhaps we will see the cloak we've been wanting to see for a long time. The obvious mesh on the costume makes me think the inclusion of the mesh is important in the film, rather than just an obscure costume detail. Also, the neck is interesting. I'm curious to see if the neck is actually designed like it is there. The armour here makes me confident in that my theory about Batman cannibalizing the damaged Begins suit to make the armour plates on this one.

Finally, the V-shaped chest plate makes me worry. It looks bad on this figure. On the official pic one can't really tell what it looks like, and since this figure isn't the best indicator I really want to see a straight-on pic of the suit so I can decide what I think of this.

Or maybe Batman just takes the cape off? :confused:

Maybe, but we know that the costume does do something in conjunction with the cape. The cape has no clasps, and the Batpod has no covering over the back tire, which is just a tiny bit(read extremely) dangerous when riding wearing a cape.

I'll put money on the cape sucking into the costume right before he drives off

Except for the fact that'd make absolutely no sense. I mean, to have an entire cape tucked back there, he'd look like a hunchback.

that would be wiggiddy wack

[Mr.Clay]

Then where did his cape go? If he has the ability to put on that whole suit in mere moments and wear a utitlity belt that easily has at least 40 pounds of equipment in it, then a cape that either folds up or sucks into the back of his suit by itself isn't out of the question.

Not to join other members in intentional derision, but that's about as practical as Bruce dropping his pants and hiding it in his colon.
