Batsuit Discussion Thread

[Hole Shot]

I think he means that Nolan won't put the Batcave and a newly built WM in there for the sake of it, at the expense of realism.

Expense of realism? No at the expense of continuity, for all we know this film takes place immediately after BB. Unless Harry Potter swings by for a visit, a massive estate with a secret high-tech underground headquarters for crime fighting isn't going to be built in a few months.



I would like some small mentions of the mansion rebuild project, and maybe even a small reveal of it almost complete near the end. Heck I am sure Fox is working on the “Foundation” exclusively.

If I had to bet, I'm sure there will be something like in the movie.

[Brian Braddock]

........hence realism. :oldrazz: (for Drexx)

Indeed.

I would have liked to seen Wayne and Fox working together to develop gadgets rather than Fox having a stockpile on hand.

oh well.

[Hole Shot]

........hence realism.

OK, realism and making sense are not the same thing.

[Brian Braddock]

No, but they go hand in hand...............

[Kleric]

I can’t help but think that things like the real world “Liquid Armor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8GqHykFCvk)” is the inspiration for the Titanium dip they mention. Heck they lifted the memory cloth from the real world so why not?

As someone who has been involved in law enforcement let me tell you that the liquid armor is a very exciting development in protection (The wives and husbands are pretty happy too) It really does sound like something thought up by a comic book writer.

[chitownballer]

There's titanium in my wetsuits. If in can be incorporated into the rubber outfit I surf in, I don't think it requires a huge stretch of the imagination to have it incorporated into an advanced combat suit developed by a multi-billion dollar defense company.

two-shea whats the purpose of it in your wetsuit? just curious maybe thats how it incorperates into the movie

[Brian Braddock]

Protection against sharks........

oh wait;

that's what this is for:-

:woot:

[Hole Shot]

Titanium is either threaded into the neoprene or coated on the inside to reflect body heat, i.e. warmth.

[chitownballer]

gotcha, thanks

[spidey2001]

Don't the legs look really baggy, I don't approve, there was a camera phone pic going around with batman in his new costume standing on a wooden staircase which showcased this baggy look. lool if this is the case then I'm already disappointed...

[Terminator]

I don't why you guys obsess so much over the costume. Besides, what you see in pics isn't exactly what you're going to see on screen.

[RedisforFire]

Quit whining. No one cares if you approve. Quit nit picking things apart. This is why fanboys annoy people. Let the film makers make the films. The suit looks great. No one is going to look inside your head and give YOU your perfect bat suit fantasy. Get over it.

Kisses,

[the_monk]

Batman wears cargoes in this movie. Hadn't you heard? He'll also replace the cowl with a Von Dutch hat. He's trying to be chic.

[Whiskey Tango]

He carries extra underwear in the pants in case he soils his Batshorts.

Seriously, "His pants are baggy?" WTF?

[Bishop]

i dont like the fact the bat-symbol across his chest is split in two, to be sure. but at the same time, it wont affect the film at all.

[Abaddon]

teh puffy pants?

[GoogleMe94]

teh puffy pants?


yeah that irked me too. the new suit does have its positive points, but is really just looks like a rehash of the sonar suit with baggier pants and smaller symbol. too complicated.

[Two-Face]

I approve your post apart from kisses.

[the_monk]

Go back to the Spidey suit thread and don't create a thread till you have 500 posts.:o

Easy there. It's not nearly as bad as "What is 'The Mob'?"

Although that one was preatty entertaining.

[Baba Ghanoush]

How many times did we see the shoulder crease in still pics for BB? Compare that with how many times we saw it on film? Barely, if at all and the scenes were so quick you'd miss them easily.

So are the pants baggy? still shots suggest they are. But that doesn't mean we will see the baggyness on the blocked shots of the film.

[He-Man]

that was a problem even worse then the batsuit creases.

that was a problem even worse then the batsuit creases.

That's a debatable issue, something I just don't have the patience for anymore.

[the_monk]

that was a problem even worse then the batsuit creases.

yeah, i suppose Batman really should have given up his cover and forgotten all his training just so you could masturbate over the right rear shoulder pad or his shoesize.

[Bond]

I see black lenses and no cape clasps.

[7alex]

stop whining.

[Yurka]

I'm not happy with this suit :down

wasn't that buster in that pic?
EDIT: NVM...i was watching disturbia...just saw the new pic...

I think it just looks slightly baggy due to his stance.

its a movie. meant for visual enjoyment. remember that.

[The Squirrel]

The suit looks weird.

[GoogleMe94]

stop whining. why?:whatever:

[Yurka]

from the new pics, I dont like the new suit.

[GoogleMe94]

what ever happened to the simple black batsuit with visible symbol? now its super ninja sonar crease teeny ears teh puffy big headed fatsuit batsuit.

[Two-Face]

why?:whatever:


Cos there is nothing you can do. Just enjoy the pics posted.

[jimmy]

His crotch is teh puffy. :(

Torso, arms, and cowl are :up: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But when you get down to his package and legs, the thing just falls apart. Only the boots save the bottom portion of the suit. :(:up:

[the_monk]

its a movie. meant for visual enjoyment. remember that.

Yeah, it's a movie. Not one of those educational videos that say "pause for discussion". You can see the costume in the comics because it's a drawing. You can look at it as long as you like on a piece of paper.

[kytrigger]

Go back to the Spidey suit thread and don't create a thread till you have 500 posts.:o
screw 500 posts. You should only be allowed to create threads after being on the Hype for 6 months.

[BatScot]

I don't why you guys obsess so much over the costume.Because Batman is an obsessive guy who wears a costume, obviously. The simple fact is, without the costume there is no Batman. And regardless of what the character does, how he looks is his most characteristic trait.

[TromaFreak64]

There Are More Pics In Da Othah Threeadqsasd

[wd golf39]

iunno i really like the suit, it has all that kool armor on it, they said awhile back, that they were looking for a more fabricy material for the suit, i think the suit looks badass and this movie is getting better everyday.

[rashad]

I'm not happy with this suit :down

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m320/YurkaCLS55/tdk006yf0.jpg

I'd be uphappy with a Red X too.

[Closerframe]

I like the new suit..

[jimmy]

I hate the legs so much. :cmad:

[CaptainClown]

only thing that really bothers me is where the suit bends at his knee

[jimmy]

Also: the gauntlets are rubber now? WTF? I liked the heavy metal gauntlets! Those things were badassity in gauntlet form! I was like: "ZOMG!" when Batman broke Ra's sword all super hero like: Ra's: "Familiar! Don't you have anything new?!" Batman: "HOW ABOUT THIS!!!!!" *breaks sword between gauntlets* Ra's: *oh, snapz!!*

[CaptainClown]

how do you figure the gauntlets are rubber?

[Saint]

The cowl looks infinitely better on the new suit. The egghead look is gone, thank God, along with the ridiculous jaw. Also, the cut of the mouth opening looks to have been slightly adjusted. Easily the best look Batcowl to date.

The chest bothers me a little. It's look much bulkier than the rest of the suit, and I don't like the V-plate on top of it. Perhaps it'll look better in the film.

Also, the lack of clasps is awesome. The attachment of the cape is closer to the neck than it was before, and that's nice, too.

[jimmy]

Are you blind? Look at that scallop! It's totally bending against his knee. Then again, Batman is supposed to shoot those scallops out of his arms like Az-Bats. Damn, these new gauntlets might rock the cock. But: I still like the heavy metal gauntlets. :( :cmad:

[ultimatefan]

The suit clearly doesn´t crease on the shoulder the way the old one did. I think it looks pretty cool, but I wanna see more pics in appropriate movie lighting, these are clearly set pics.

[ultimatefan]

I don´t think the scallop is bending. It could be just an optical impression. What you think is a piece of scallop bending actually looks like a piece of the leg or the waist.

[sasquatchs]

He almost looks thin in the costume now. He needs a good meal. The way the neck fits on is a litte odd, prefer the bulky neck. Apart from that :up:

[CaptainClown]

The neck looks really stiff and I don't care for the bending at the knee

[ultimatefan]

The neck looks really stiff and I don't care for the bending at the knee

What you mean stiff, it´s the most flexible neck in any of the costumes.

[jimmy]

I don´t think the scallop is bending. It could be just an optical impression. What you think is a piece of scallop bending actually looks like a piece of the leg or the waist.

Nah, it's the gauntlets. But I really like the idea of Mechanical gauntlets like Azreal Batman.

[rashad]

Suit looks fine to me. I just want to see some official promo shots.

[The-Dark-Knight]

I approve your post apart from kisses.

I liked the kisses, if im honest i wish people would leave me some kisses.

anyone?

no?

[ultimatefan]

Nah, it's the gauntlets. But I really like the idea of Mechanical gauntlets like Azreal Batman.
Sorry, it clearly looks like it´s the waist, like the piece of the suit below the belt. All information is that the scallop is still a weapon, even if it is rubber, it won´t appear that way in the movie.

[Bond]

The gauntlets aren't bending. It's just an illusion.

And what do you think Batman has on his eyes? Do you think it's like a see-thru cloth type of thing (like the Scream Masks) or black contacts or black lenses or what?

[sasquatchs]

This is the case..........................










Didn't you get the memo?

[Dvhyzs]

Wait so do we need the OP's approval to actually go see the movie?..:whatever:

[Wams]

The suit looks like.....CRAP.:whatever:

[antsman41]

they are bending but its caz we dont want bale getting injured with real one do we? if you look at the pic when Bats drops in on gordon and kida doin the same thing... "from begins" you can see them bending... but there metal in the movie world...

[BatScot]

The cowl looks infinitely better on the new suit. The egghead look is gone, thank God, along with the ridiculous jaw. Also, the cut of the mouth opening looks to have been slightly adjusted. Easily the best look Batcowl to date.:up: An improvement to be sure.

The chest bothers me a little. It's look much bulkier than the rest of the suit, and I don't like the V-plate on top of it. Perhaps it'll look better in the film.:down I doubt it... and frankly I'm astonished that they actually managed to make the logo look worse when they were actually quite close the first time :cmad:

Also, the lack of clasps is awesome. The attachment of the cape is closer to the neck than it was before, and that's nice, too.:up: :up: way up

Oddly enough, this is the sort of overall look I would have expected the first time around, with refinements made in subsequent films.

[GoogleMe94]

the whole reason how he gets the suit reminds me of Forever, when the batsuit gets destoryed by villians and then has to wear the "prototype" suit and this just happens to look alot like the sonar suit.

upon further examination, the cowl doesnt look like THAT big of an improvment, the egghead looks like its still there, with the ears being just a bit taller, but not too much. suit still looks very robotic and the proportions look all wrong.

[Capt Throbberson]

I wish the symbol was bigger and more visible, but other than that I think it's an improvement.

[lujho]

I think it's a clearly better made suit, that looks really cool, but in the process of fixing the Begins suit's flaws they unneccessarily made it look less like what Batman should look like. They could have fixed the flaws in much the same ways but without losing the sleeker/smoother look (or indeed they could have further enhanced it)

I think they threw the baby out with the bathwater. When getting rid of what was bad about the Begins suit, they got rid of a lot of what was good.

["_____"]

I trust in Nola.... **** it, i dont like the suit... to much going on in it... i want simple... so yes i want a spider man look to it...., fabric bullet proof

[Green Goblin 1964]

I absolutely LOVE the suit...just one of the pics made it too hi-tech looking but I'll get used to it....


Dig it.

What happened to the stills thread? That thread was teh sH%&

[Mr. Socko]

I honestly don't like the new suit. Too high tech looking, kinda like the second Batman Forever one. I don't like the way it bends and just too much going on for me, all of these separate parts pieced together through the chain mail. But the cowl is definitely an improvement over Begins and I'm glad they kept the belt.

[CaptainClown]

I like it minus that bend at the knee I still think its cool.

[superkong 500]

Are you blind? Look at that scallop! It's totally bending against his knee. Then again, Batman is supposed to shoot those scallops out of his arms like Az-Bats. Damn, these new gauntlets might rock the cock. But: I still like the heavy metal gauntlets. :( :cmad:[/quote]

Well let me reveal a sad truth to you, the begins scallops weren't metal either they were made too look like bronze or whatever metal they were supposed to be made off. There's one scene in begins just like this one it takes place in gordons balcony and bats is crouched in almost the same position as in this pic his forearms are resting on his thighs and you can clearly see in one of the gauntlets that the scallops are folding too. So this is not a thing ahppening with just this new suit but with the begins one as well. In movies they often use several materials to represent metal in lord of the rings for example there were metal swords mostly for close-ups and rubber swords for fighting/stunts plus other materials which names I don't recall at the moment.
In two towers the easterlings had heavy armor but in some of the shots their spikes waved,trembled and woobled like if made of cheap rubber.
So is the case in batman begins and TDK, this is made for safety reasons and whatnot but you shoudn't worry this pic is a set pic Iam sure that in the movie you won't notice this and they will look like metal.

[CaptainClown]

You won't nobody in their right mind would use real spikes to do stund fighting

[gwynplaine]

It's black, it vaguely ressembles a bat, it's fine.

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Bale looks soooo thin though. He is obviously smaller than in BB. As a result, his head looks HUGE.

Suit looks plasticky. Too much going on.

Damn, my first major complaint about TDK.

[Agentsands77]

I liked the original picture of the new suit, but the way it looks in a lot of the new pictures... meh. Doesn't do a lot for me.

[JTIZZLEVILLE]

I trust in Nola.... **** it, i dont like the suit... to much going on in it... i want simple... so yes i want a spider man look to it...., fabric bullet proof

"fabric bullet proof?"

Do you even realize what you just said? That's the biggest oxymoron I've ever heard of.

[Tempest19]

The batsuit looks good and under the right lighting it will look great. Only doesn't look that great in the pic in the reply above, every other pic it looks great. And chances are that pic above isn't under the correct lighting.

[JTIZZLEVILLE]

I liked the original picture of the new suit, but the way it looks in a lot of the new pictures... meh. Doesn't do a lot for me.

I do agree. I was hoping a much improved, sleek version of the Begins suit.

The only thing I like better in the new pictures compared to the first released one is that fact that it doesn't look as bulky.

[joevonaxeman]

I'm not kidding, I honestly think the new suit looks like this:
http://www.qwipster.net/steel.jpg
Seriously, from the "steel plated look" to the whole mesh/chainmail stuff where there isn't armor... Please, somebody better at photoshop than me make this picture legendary :woot:

[MechaOrga]

Yeah, I'm VERY disaapointed with the suit.

No one can say that the suit is all they were hoping for and more.

It looks like a metal gear suit from the new game coming out with a tiny bat emblem on it. i never thought i would actually want a yellow oval on a suit but now looking at this, i don't know....

No clasps=cool

My MAJOR beef with the Begins suit was it looked to busy for my tastes....

You can imagine how I feel looking at this design LOL

Love Movies, its what i do.Love Batman its what i read.Love Nolan. Loveed Batman Begins.

I'll give this look a chance

[Agentsands77]

I do agree. I was hoping a much improved, sleek version of the Begins suit.
At its core, I think that's what it is. But I think the bright lighting in those pics makes it look goofy (BEGINS' suit didn't look so great in intense lights, either). I think the new suit will look fantastic in the shadows, but when exposed under lighting, it'll probably look more than a little awkward (as it does here).

[sasquatchs]

That party scene isn't going to be as dark as I'd like, even after the color correction. Killing the lights would have been a good idea. But its a dramatic quibble more than the look of the suit for me, looks fine

[Borat]

teh puffy pants?lol! that has a nice ring to it.

[Tempest19]

At its core, I think that's what it is. But I think the bright lighting in those pics makes it look goofy (BEGINS' suit didn't look so great in intense lights, either).

Exactly. The city at night scene, for example, looks AMAZING!

[gwynplaine]

I wish the suit had a snout like a bat.

[sasquatchs]

Exactly. The city at night scene, for example, looks AMAZING!

That was my favorite of the 19

[Juanigi]

the mouth opening of his mask in certain drawings looks like the gaping jaw of a bat

[bunk]

The cowl and cape attachment are definite improvements. Unfortunately, not good enough to offset the rest I dislike about it.

[Silver Knight]

no gray in Bats new costume?

Myself Im very dispointed..

[Bats]

I'm fine with it. If they weren't going to do it in the 1st film, then they weren't going to do it in this one.

[bunk]

*flips on the hunter rider signal*

[DarthSkywalker]

I find it interesting how bright the new film looks and how much of that involves Batman in well lite places. Really have a lot of faith in that suit.

[Dvhyzs]

I find it interesting how bright the new film looks and how much of that involves Batman in well lite places. Really have a lot of faith in that suit.
prolly due to lack of dark green filter.

[Rezzo]

Doesn´t even matter

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I think if you are, your probably too busy worrying about Heath's Joker make up to worry about Batman's costume.

Although, Batman's costume kicks so much ass.

[Dvhyzs]

*flips on the hunter rider signal*
http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x87/DVN_album/batsignal.gif

go for it.

[DarthSkywalker]

prolly due to lack of dark green filter.

They didn't filter shots inside outside of Arkham.

[Spade]

There's a fabric batsuit in the movie. A fabric batsuit. In the movie. What more does Nolan have to give before this becomes more of the fanbase's film than his?

[deemar325]

I like the new suit

[The Caped Knight]

Based on the new pics, My opinion of the new batsuit has changed (I like it, but I find it way too High-tec, I still prefer the original suit .)

However I have a strong feeling the mintue I see it on screen, I 'll love it .

[Silver Knight]

Clearly from the new pics the fabric is indeed black.

[Tempest19]

He never said it wasn't black.

[Spade]

Still, it's a Batman. Not Batman himself, but at least a nod to some people who thought what they meant by "a looser fit" was going to be a fabric version.

[batman44]

I REALLY like the new suit now more than ever. The cowl and cape attachments are huge improvements imo.

[Tomar-Re]

In the end it makes no difference to me. My interest in the film runs deeper than costumes.

[Bats]

Still not disappointed.

[Spade]

In the end it makes no difference to me. My interest in the film runs deeper than costumes.

Now there's a viewpoint worth respect. :up:

[Silver Knight]

Lol whats with the Bat signal?

[Spade]

It envokes the...uhh, excitement, and it...the suit...well, I really have no clue. :huh:

[Rezzo]

Lol whats with the Bat signal?

It´s the hunter rider signal... so he comes to close a thread :ninja:

[Tempest19]

If I got this right- it's signaling a mod to set things right?

[Tomar-Re]

upside down.. a sign of distress perhaps?

[batman44]

I don't care, the suit look awesome imo.

[Capt. Jack]

what happened to the cave!!!???!!!

that is what i want to know!?!?!

[Spade]

I like that it looks mobile and less like he's constrained/ has a case of t3h puffy. The leak (outside of the version on the rack) is a little less clear, but even crouched it looks great. The ridges really get brought out well in the darkness. It looks great to me.

[Dvhyzs]

Lol whats with the Bat signal?
:o.

[Cowleen]

Its the hunter_rider signal to end this travashamockery.

[Tomar-Re]

i'm not keen on the curled shoulders. it looks as if the iron sheik's wrestling boots are strapped to his shoulders

[Spade]

I don't care, the suit look awesome imo.

Not to be a stickler for spelling, but it's "Luthor."

what happened to the cave!!!???!!!

that is what i want to know!?!?!

Giant explosion took it out and they remodeled with a sturdier design. That sums it up for me.

[TromaFreak64]

we had a BATSUIT thread... stop creating unnecessary threads. Will someone PM to get this merged.

[jtfaria]

Could be worse. Could be red, yellow and blue with the underwear on the outside.

[roach]

this is easily the worst suit of the series and some of the other ones had nipples on them

[OneKnight]

what happened to the cave!!!???!!!

that is what i want to know!?!?!

The true Batcave hasn't been built yet. Don't forget, the mansion burned down. TDK doesn't take place long after BB. There's no way it could be built that fast.

Bruce stays in his penthouse apartment in Gotham. It looks like he's operating out of a spare room within the apartment. A make shift Batcave.

It would be cool if they mention that he owns the whole building since he'd need to do some creative wiring that might raise suspicion if he were simply a tenant.

[DarthSkywalker]

this is easily the worst suit of the series and some of the other ones had nipples on them

Cause you have actually seen it on film. :whatever:

[cryptic name]

what happened to the cave!!!???!!!

that is what i want to know!?!?!

it's under construction

[Maboroshi]

I'm fine with no grey in the suit. What I would like is a slight shine with blue tint and silky texture for the cape with cape and cowel attached. Maybe a grey symbol on the chest actually to help bring it out more. Possibly white lenses.

[roach]

Cause you have actually seen it on film. :whatever:

what will seeing the suit on film do to make that better????

[1981]

No grey in the suit? Damn! This really throws off my day. :: tisk, tisk ::

[DarthSkywalker]

what will seeing the suit on film do to make that better????

The suit is built to look good once all editing and touch up work is done. Nothing more. Just look how different the one released pic looks.

[Spade]

this is easily the worst suit of the series and some of the other ones had nipples on them

I know I'll regret asking, but may I ask why?

[1981]

Can we make a thread about Joker's socks next?

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Wtf, They Are Not "baggie"?!?!?!?!?!!

IDK, Are They?!?!?!?!?!?!

[The_J0k3R]

Don't the legs look really baggy, I don't approve, there was a camera phone pic going around with batman in his new costume standing on a wooden staircase which showcased this baggy look. lool if this is the case then I'm already disappointed...


Youre a spiderman fan... of coarse you like the all tight look.

Batman is not homosexual like your boy Spiderman (Jokes)

[Mito88]

Quit whining. No one cares if you approve. Quit nit picking things apart. This is why fanboys annoy people. Let the film makers make the films. The suit looks great. No one is going to look inside your head and give YOU your perfect bat suit fantasy. Get over it.

Kisses,

just thought he should read this again. :yay:

[SolidSnakeMGS]

What sucks is if you look at Batman's forearm blade things they are bending as they rest on his knees.

[Dvhyzs]

What sucks is if you look at Batman's forearm blade things they are bending as they rest on his knees.
they are just fake blades...not the real ones..


They wouldnt do much if they were rubber.

[Mito88]

i dont mind at all.

[1981]

What sucks is if you look at Batman's forearm blade things they are bending as they rest on his knees.

Yeah, not too good on the part of the costume maker. How's Bale suppose to get into his crazy acting mode with rubber forearm blades?

[cryptic name]

this is easily the worst suit of the series and some of the other ones had nipples on them

and this is easily the most bulls**t statement in this thread. fitting.

Same could be said about the costume, as in it doesn't look like the real one. Hopefully, we get very little of the whole costume in lights, because it does NOT look good. The pic with him looking to the side with the city in the background looks great however.

So, what is the final product if they're already on set filming in those suits?

[gazzilla8000]

I am pretty disappointed, based off these shots. The legs look baggy and the head looks enormous. In fact, it looks like something from a Schumacher film, minus the colour. Its just too busy, looks ugly to me.

Although the shot with Gotham in the background looks really good. I guess it just looks bad in well-lit environments.

[Boom]

I like the new suit quite a bit. I am a little irked by the looseness/bagginess of the legs, but that's a minor nitpick that I'm willing to overlook.

[360sculptguy]

Doesn't batmans new costume look...

...worse than his old one?

yes.

[Boom]

New suit's cowl
+
New suit's neck
+
New suit's shoulders
+
New suit's cape attachments
+
New suit's forearms
+
The rest of the old suit
=
Win.

[jimmy]

But that whole crotch section. . . eh :down:

[DSET]

The bagginess of the legs is probably so Bale and the stuntmen can move around and walk/ run comfortably. These pics don't repesent the final product-trust me!

thats what i was thinking
theres probably gonna be alot more lighting added to the pictures


half of the pics look polished half dont

[jimmy]

The half that don't are just the ones Mr. Clay manipulated. The original pictures all look as fresh and zestfully clean.

the one were hes sitting on the porch doesnt look like it is gonna be in the movie
A-its a portrait
B- the lighting is wonky

and thats my reasoning for believing that we may see some improvements in the polished film
but then i see the same ugliness in the pants in one of the interragation pics so that kind of cancels out my theory

[jimmy]

I heard Batman actually comes out during the day in this movie, so ya never know!

Yeah, maybe that's because all of these are photographs. Not movie screen shots from their cameras.

[jimmy]

I like everything but the legs/crotch.

[DSET]

would be akward but I dont mind that Im just hoping that the suit stays looking as good as it did in the first pic on the car
and that because of good lighting and a polished film we dont see the puffyness in the pants and what not.

[jimmy]

I don't care.

[DSET]

Yeah, maybe that's because all of these are photographs. Not movie screen shots from their cameras.

Jimmy, I've always wondered... how do you have a 100x100 avvy with only 4000 (now closer to 5000) posts? I thought you had to have 6000 posts to have an avvy that size.

[1981]

Obviously, some people are blundering idiots (not you).

[dark_b]

after seeing hte new leaked pics i think that the BB suit looks smaller. it looks like it is from a different material.

the new suit is just badass. he can move every part on hes body plus what important hes neck.

but i hate seeing batman at the penhouse at full light. everyone has seen him.

[jimmy]

Maybe they'll dim the lights and put on some cool jazz for his entrance. :cool:

[jimmy]

Maybe everyone one just thinks they've seen him. The Batman is, like, a magician and stuffs.

[LexCorp]

I like the new suit using a helmet so the actor can turn his head. Makes sense too.

[alabamaassassin]

i'm sure that the shots in the film would not convey the sloppiness of the pants. i saw a pic of the stunt suit which looked baggy all over (padding) so maybe he is wearing the loose pants because it's a torso and head shot. i do like how the neck and hood are more streamlined. if you compare the new suit pics with the one of bruce at gunpoin, you can see the huge difference.

[dark_b]

this is not a joke guys. i really thought that batman will shut down the lights before he enters. this is not what he learned from ras.

it destroys everything. but i will need to see this in the context of the movie.

[jimmy]

I heard he can disappear.

[Batman>all]

Cowl, sleekness, cape and lack of clasps= awesome!

Edit the pics to be a bit darker and we got a great bat suit.

[graveyardtramp]

I don't really like the new suit at all. If the script and direction and acting are good, it won't spoil the movie for me in any way, and of course I will save my final judgement until I see it in action on the screen, but it really is to me a very ugly looking, awkward suit....it conveys none of the romanticisim of the character. To be honest, I don't know how this nw suit even got past the sketch design stage. I dread to think how ugly most of the Dark Knight Batman action figures are going to be.

[dark_b]

I heard he can disappear.in bB only the badguys saw him. and it was fast and he kicked their asses. ehre he is in the penthouse. people around see batman. they see now that he is a normal huma nin a high-tech suit. and they see that some pathetic guy wit ha mask can hold him and the joker is kicking him.

this is a disater. but only a disaster in hte pics. i need to se ethis in the context of the movie.

:whatever:

[Wolfman]

About the symbol... It looks darker then the rest of the suit. Even the flaps in which it lies on (cut in half! wtf is that?) is black. It's definetly blacker then other parts of the suit. How bout that?

[Mr. Socko]

I think the new suit has too much going on. It's ok though, as for the Nolan-Bat symbol, I actually never was a fan of it and was glad that it never appeared on the Begins suit. But it seems to be on the chest of the new suit, oh well. Not a big deal.


http://www.dhalsall.com/images/brands/Batman%20Begins%20logo.JPG

[dark_b]

this new symbol on the stui is like 50% smaller then the old one.

[Wolfman]

I agree. Way too much going on. And the straps across Batman's arms, that seem to hold the shoulderpieces in place... On the leaked pictures where his crouching on the wooden fence, his left arms strap is folded. One would think it could be dangerous, because it might get caught on something. But whatever.

[Mr. Socko]

As I had said before, the new suit looks as if it's made of several rubber armored parts that are pieced together through the chain mill.

[The Guard]

But wait...I thought you all LOVED the new suit?

[DarkKnight84]

New suit looks great. Looks sooo much cooler than begins.

[Monster]

I didn't pay attention the suit, more interested in how different the settings were and how eerie it was.

[orestes]

Not really a fan of the new suit, but it does look much sleeker than the Batman Begins suit. It's possible those pictures don't do it justice and it'll look better in action.

Nolans story is still evolving so maybe by the third film we'll get a more traditional Batman we're accustomed to.

[Hobodeluxe]

Not a fan of the new suit. It will look better in the final film but those pants are terrible.

[Two-Face]

I like it.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Maybe its just the angle, that pic was taken from (police car pic).

[moguy]

After seeing the leaked pics, I'm defintely not liking the new suit.

Hopefully the increased mobility makes up for the changes, but in still shots it looks inferior to the original (IMO)

[SolidSnakeMGS]

Maybe I'll make a manip when I get a chance, but I'd like to see:

-keep the BB suit from below the neck.
-make the head/neck like in TDK.
-maybe armor the arms and shins like in TDK.
-make the cape wraparound like from BTAS.

Then I would be very happy.

[Mr. Socko]

I love when the cape drapes over Batman's shoulders.

This suit is a bit too tech for me, I prefer something more simple. Can't honestly believe I'm saying this but I like the Begins suit more overall, well from those pics, I do.

[BatScot]

it didnt look that small when he is standing on hte police car right? :huh:Compared to the Begins chest logo the TDK logo appears to be apx. 1/3 the size.

[BatScot]

This suit is a bit too tech for me, I prefer something more simple. Can't honestly believe I'm saying this but I like the Begins suit more overall, well from those pics, I do.Ironic isn't it.

[Mr. Socko]

Yep. When I compare the two, the Begins suit seems great, this one seems sub-par.

As opposed to being partially grey, the suit actually seems to have a grey tone to it. Like in the light, it comes off grey looking, and at night looks black. But damn, there's just so much going on in the new suit. So much lining, armored sections, etc. Don't like the Begins symbol on the suit(it wasn't in Begins ironically). But the cowl looks 100x better.

[jesse custer]

So, what is the final product if they're already on set filming in those suits?


Ever here of cgi, digital alterations?

[BatScot]

Yep. When I compare the two, the Begins suit seems great, this one seems sub-par.Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not get carried away... when you compare the two the Begins suit seems less offensive ;)

[dark_b]

Ever here of cgi, digital alterations?i hate those kind if posts.
someoen doesnt like a designe,hair or something similar and then some guy comes on the forum and says that maybe they will use CGI to change it,

the same happened with the joker,two face and now for the suit.

[orestes]

grey cloth? i can't see it happening

Of course not.

..but if you changed the color of the new suit to grey, kept the black bat symbol and matched the cowl with the cape you'd have a semi close interpretation of the traditional costume.

why Nolan didn't do that is beyond me. I guess in his "realistic" world, it's ALL about functionality.

[nameless_hero]

So is there another pic of the new suit, other than the one on top of the police car?

It seems like you guys are talking about different images of this new suit.

[Mr. Socko]

I think that would have been a good idea. But color has nothing to do with it being 'realistic' or not. They probably didn't even consider grey, just automatically decided on black. It's not like he decided against grey because it doesn't fit into the "realism."

Yeah, the leaked pics that are no longer allowed on this site.

Therye talking of leaked pics that have been taken down at the request of WB.

Dammit - I never got to see 'em.

[Pho3nix]

I think the new suit looks pretty weird, I guess I like the old one better.

Something more conservative would be nicer.

[Batman>all]

The more I look at the Batman Begins suit the more I dislike and find flaws in it.

I think its because of how puffy and fat he looks and than you see a skinny sleek Batman with the new suit. The side by side comparisons do a lot for me.

[nameless_hero]

Yeah, the leaked pics that are no longer allowed on this site.

Found them through Google...
Pants look rediculous... bat's too small...

But the Batman beating on the Joker in the intergation room looked sweet.

I defionately prefer the Begins suit over TDK

[Brian Braddock]

I'm definately a fan of the more streamlined cowl but the rest of the suit is gonna take some getting used to (I have a feeling that any doubts will be erased the 1st time I see it in motion though - I get the impression that this suit offers a helluva lot more manouverability than the previous one).

It's certainly different from the BB suit and, yes, perhaps a bit 'over-elaborate' in places but i'm certainly willing to give it a chance.

Also, Bale looks really trim (and I mean that as a comliment - some folk say that as a complaint) and his face (which at times seemed a bit 'fuller' than usual in the 1st film due to his condensed weight gain period) seems more comfortable with the new cowl that the BB cowl.

[Compi716]

Some people are complaining that Bale looks too thin. They like the HUGE version from BB.

I think he looks great. He looks ATHLETIC. He reminds me of the Neal Adams Batman. He looks like he can leap from rooftop to rooftop. And remember: somebody who is really strong does not necessarily have bulging muscles.

[bunk]

The mouth opening for the new cowl still looks too small.

I don't think very many people think that Bale was too "huge" in the first film. Batman is supposed to be a powerful guy, and power requires muscle. True, strength isn't directly proportional to size (Weightlifters vs bodybuilders), but it is still fairly proprortional.

I'm sure Bale's physique is still fine, although he does look a little leaner in the leaked pics (the tshirt one). Neverheless, he's still by far, the most muscled Batman in all the live action films.

In contrast, the way Tobey Maquire let himself go from the first spiderman movie to the second and third was far more dramatic. I guess he figured once he had the role being in shape didn't matter.

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Bale looks alot smaller in and out of the suit in these pics, than he did in Begins.

It's true; many body builders are not that strong. There are many techniques to make your body look good. Heck in a competition many body builders collapse due to dehydratation / weakness as they starve themes self’s to look cut.

A better visual is a martial artist or an ultimate fighter. Hell, look at Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris would you consider him too small to be effective?

It's kinda like the doorman analogy - sure, you have the huge security guys - they go the gym, use steroids, build muscle, look massive and threatening and all that;

But then you see a smaller, wiry, almost normal looking security guy with them, looking a bit out of place next to these bohemoths.

That's the guy to steer clear of if it all went off - because he's obviously not there as a visual deterrant - he's there for a reason.

He's there because he can actually whip some ass.

why Nolan didn't do that is beyond me. I guess in his "realistic" world, it's ALL about functionality.Except when it suits him not to be, like a tank that can be driven across roof tops and para-dives that don't rip the arms off the guy trying to hold onto the cape... certainly these things are no less a conceit than a ‘greyish’ suit.

The thing is, a realistic approach—as military studies have proven—actually SUPPORTS a gray suit. In other words, it does not follow from the “realistic argument” that a gray suit cannot or should not be used for night camo. In fact, gray is sometimes preferable in certain conditions, especially in an urban environment. Which is to say: There is nothing unrealistic about Batman wearing a gray suit. Now this does not mean that black is less realistic or that gray is somehow more realistic, it simply means that there is no practical reason that would negate the use of gray. But if you like black better, that’s fine. If you think black works, you’re correct. If you do no like gray, well you are entitled to you’re opinion. But if you think gray is not a “realistic” color for Batman, then you are mistaken.

So not only is a “semi close interpretation of the traditional costume” feasible, a ‘traditional’ approach is also realistic. Period.

[Thot]

I've enjoyed just about every incarnation of the Bat-suit on film. The only really bad one was the Clooney "ice-suit" in B&R. My favorite suit, by a good margin, is still the panther suit in BF. I prefer simpler lines, molded muscularity, and a freaking bat-symbol you can actually see! I do dig the new Dark Knight suit, especially the cowl. I can enjoy Batman's duds in many incarnations, e.g. industrial or more organic in appearance.

[Mr. Socko]

I'm of the belief that having a partially grey suit does not require an in-depth explanation of the realistic ramifications.

Anyway, the new suit looks like he'll be able to move a lot better and offer alot more mobility.

[ROBOCOP CPU001]

Yeah, i like it, now i have seen better shots of it.

Agreed. With liquid Armor being a scientific reality, and Black and Grey being proven to be superior for urban camouflage, I really don’t see why we could not have a more traditional Bat suit.

I can’t help but wonder if the costume department wanted to be creative and different. To put their own stamp on the suit as it were. I’m Just guessing. The TDK suit looks cool, it’s just not definitive. I can’t help but feel it was a wasted opportunity.
