Batsuit Discussion Thread

[CaptainClown]

the bat can opener.. I dunno it looks weird though.

[Cowleen]

Can anyone answer this? ^I have the pics from the leak. The new suit is featured, and yes the blades still run down his forearm.

[Conebone69]

No not the blades on his forearm. There like on his wrists and it goes all the way down to his elbow

[Cowleen]

[Conebone69]

No its cool, I already got em

[majemma]

it looks really cool i want to see it in action though to see how it moves and stuff

The perfect bat suit:

I'm not gonna make fun of this b/c he looks like he has something wrong with him mentally, but his parents should be kicked in the stomach by a bus.

[Mercurius]

no one in the right mind expects batman to do the stuff he does in a plain rubber suit. he has to have protection and padding to make it seem real. if you were jumping around doing s*** he did, would you have protection?


That's the whole problem: NOBODY would do it even in his full-armour. The whole "realism" debate is really a joke. :joker: Oops.

Die Hard is believable? Of course it is, once you stepped into the theatre and the lights are out, but it is a COMPLETE absurd in physical terms.

If you are thinking about "protection", Batman wouldn't be able to survive BB. Even with all the stuff on him. If they tried to fool me like that, they couldn't. I accepted he was able to survive BECAUSE HE IS THE BATMAN. Period.

We miss the point when we start agreeing under which conventions of the so-called "realism" we are able to accept an absurd. Giant robots-like that transform into cars? a guy who has claws coming out of his arms? a giant ape? a hell-spawned red freak with a big brick hand Etc?

Come on guys, let's get real. Oops, again. :woot:

[JBElliott]

Either that or you could figure out that it's an ad for Viagra and supposed to be funny. But your way is good too.

[slave2catwoman]

I have a great idea. Let's take a comic book character that people have loved for decades and make a movie about it. But since we're so smart, let's make a bunch of improvements to the appearance of the main character. After all, the stuff that we love in the books would never work in a movie unless we tinker with it.

you're acting like this is the first batman movie ever made :whatever:

and yes, tinkering is necessary because this

just wouldn't fly

[slave2catwoman]

That is an overly cartoonish drawing done that way for a certain effect. Comic version Batman would work just fine, the same way Spider-Man does.

Minus the shiny finish, this suit would work great on film.

No, it really wouldn't.

And there's a reason why Superman and Spider-Man could wear tights. They're both invulnerable and Super-Human(Spider-Man to a lesser extent of course).


Batman is not. He is human and needs armor to protect him from the bad men with the knives and guns and bullets and bad stuff.


And DON'T give me that crap about "armor underneath tights." It's stupid and would look bad. Imagine wearing that suit up there. Then imagine putting on a bullet proof vest under it.

we've never seen comic spidey on film. and that's a cool batman fanmade suit, but it would be ridiculous on screen.

[CaptainClown]

Ya awesome fan made suit still looks ridiculous especially if a guy like that wanted to kick my ass.

[bunk]

I love how the cape and cowl are one piece.

[slave2catwoman]

It would look ridiculous until he did it. The rubber muscle suits look really silly. Stiff, cumbersome.

[CaptainClown]

I think the rubber muscle suit looks stupid too. But I mean I would be on the floor laughing, and if he is indeed batman he doesnt strike fear in his prey. I would tell the guy (laughing)" wow you made my night, Imma go home now "

[slave2catwoman]

Would your reaction be the same when you saw Superman or Spider-Man? You might think it was silly until they acted. And really, do you think Bale's suit looked more scary than just odd?

[Mr. Socko]

The kid in that pic looks like he's high on acid. Lol...

[hame4479]

You don't consider Raimi's spidey outfits as spidey comic get up, cuz those are easily the most faithful and downright authentic costumes of any comic movie, aside from the raised webbing which was a good idea by the way.

[raybia]

I love how the cape and cowl are one piece.

I agree. This is my biggest complaint about all of the movie batsuits.

[cryptic name]

actually i'd give that honor to the new Iron Man suit. and Spidey's movie duds were very close, but they don't look like they were made by a poor kid from queens, which is my biggest complaint.

[Matrixo]

Yeah your right, I mean that suit looks too good to be made by some poor kid.:csad:

[Ryudoz]

actually i'd give that honor to the new Iron Man suit. and Spidey's movie duds were very close, but they don't look like they were made by a poor kid from queens, which is my biggest complaint.

Not even with the $100 he made from pinning Bonesaw? Or even after every iteration of his suit is torn to ribbons it's in mint condition when he can't even pay his rent? No way. I refuse to believe it.

However, I must agree, Iron Man looks exactly how he should. They couldn't have gotten it better.

[gwynplaine]

Since the Joker apparently uses disguises, which totally rocks, maybe Batman should do the same like in the comics.

This picture is so gay. Seriously: that guy dressed as batman just raped him from behind; that's why the little kid has his eyes rolled back.

[Mr. Socko]

Is it just me or does that look like George Clooney in that picture?

[jimmy]

It's just you.

[Mr. Socko]

lol

Then explain the kid.

[jimmy]

:midorgasm:

[Mr. Socko]

Crack does that.

[CaptainClown]

Would your reaction be the same when you saw Superman or Spider-Man? You might think it was silly until they acted. And really, do you think Bale's suit looked more scary than just odd?

His suit looks like wow that guy could kick my ass. Superman isn't really about theatrics, he would steal all the guns you had on you faster then you could say WTF just happened and as for Spider-man I don't think he is trying to spread fear. Like I said the Bale suit looks like an ass kicker and that I would have to hit twice as hard for him to feel it.

[Conebone69]

Is it just me or does that look like George Clooney in that picture?
A little bit, yeah

[hame4479]

This picture is so gay. Seriously: that guy dressed as batman just raped him from behind; that's why the little kid has his eyes rolled back.


THANK YOU!!!!!!! This costume could never work on screen. If you are trying to be a dark badass that kicks the **** out of criminals would you ever wear this? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hame4479]

actually i'd give that honor to the new Iron Man suit. and Spidey's movie duds were very close, but they don't look like they were made by a poor kid from queens, which is my biggest complaint.

Ya but he is a genious who could easily come up with new flexible fabrics. Besides would you rather have spidey look like a bum in a shoddy spandex suit? And yes Iron Mans new getup is about as faithful as it could ever get. THANX JON!!!! On a side note Adi Granov is a ****ing comic god, I would love to see what his batsuit would look like. There is so much realism injected into his art.

[slave2catwoman]

And yet it has worked for over seventy years in the comics. Worked so well that people have brought the character to the screen many times. It works on paper, and it would work on film. When Batman grabbed those bladed batarangs and took a fighting stance in Dead End, he looked like he could kick some ass.

[CaptainClown]

comics have worked for seventy years yet comic book movies have only been really working since 2000

[CaptainClown]

actually earlier then that, I wasn't thinking about Superman or Batman 89,

[majemma]

the new suit looks funny when he is perched....but i like the neck

IMO he looked ridiculous. Just like every film Collora has done.

Glitterman to the rescue!!!!!
Also is that the same suit the guy is trying to sell in the bat-world forums.

No it works on paper because we say it does. Not everything translates well on film.

[Shoemeister]

These were my thoughts exactly. Homo to the maxxxorz.

[DeaDheaD]

Comic Books get a lot more chances(hundreds of issues for some), But in the movies, you got one chance at the most 2-3, A fabric suit with manties on over it would instantly bring back thoughts of Schumacher, and those are Franchise killing-long walks into the desert to never be heard from again-type thoughts.

[bunk]

Schumacher never used spandex suits.

[Brian Braddock]

Not professionally, at least.

His personal life is probably another matter entirely though..........

No, he looked stupid in Dead End.

Several different creative teams have taken on Batman since 89 and the suit has been black body armor every time. Why do you think that is? Do you really think that costume designers haven't looked at what Batman looks like in the comics and didn't at least attempt to mimic it?

[Figs]

Exactly!

[DeaDheaD]

Schumacher never used spandex suits.
He didnt have enough time.

[CaptainClown]

Ya unless I see an amazing spandex suit I will continue to say that spandex suit doesnt look good on film.

[DeaDheaD]

Spandexman should never come into the Bat-World on film, ever!

[CaptainClown]

Ya, I don't know why people think it looks good. I hated all the Batman costumes in all the fan films. I mean good job for doing it but I still didn't like it

[slave2catwoman]

Dead End looked great. Batman looks great in the comics. Black fake rubber muscles looks stiff, slow, and hot as hell. You couldn't catch a snail in that stuff, let alone a criminal. For Christ's sake, Keaton couldn't even move his head in the 89 movie. Clooney looked like the Gimp from Pulp Fiction. This is what Batman looks like.



http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g189/slavekal/Region.jpg

[CaptainClown]

Thats the 89 suit which I still think was terrible

[slave2catwoman]

Oh, and Batman does not wear eye makeup either. How gay is that?

[CaptainClown]

find a mask that fits perfectly on his eyes without impeding vision.

[slave2catwoman]

If I was the costume designer on a movie, I would. I hardly think they are waiting for me to find their props for them. If they are, they know where to find me.

[CaptainClown]

Well look you can't fit a mask around the eye without showing some skin. When you show that skin it kind of kills it. Also putting the make up makes his eyes stand out in an all black suit.

[slave2catwoman]

Yeah, well, for two hundred million, I think they can come up with a solution, because that eye makeup looks very silly. Lenses has been brought up many times. I think that is a good idea. It further conceals identity, and it is, once again, closer to the comics.

[CaptainClown]

how are lenses closer to the comics?

[DeaDheaD]

Dead End Batman looks like he's always getting ready to sleep.

[bunk]

Because he has night vision lenses in the comics.

[CaptainClown]

What comic is that, only night vision I have seen him use is like binoculars.

[Hole Shot]

Dead End looked great.

Dead End looked stupid.

[slave2catwoman]

How? Because in the comics, Batman has white lenses in the mask, that's how. The only artist who does not use them is Alex Ross. I am a little taken aback by that question. Do you read the comics ever? The same way Spider-Man always has lenses, Batman does. From the very first Batman story through the modern era.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g189/slavekal/batman-20060214051107669.jpg

[slave2catwoman]

I was not wild about the Dead End cowl, but the cape, the suit, the gloves, the blades, all looked like a guy who was able to, and about to fight.

[CaptainClown]

Those aren't lenses though. Those are his eyes, you wanted a suit that looks more like the comic then you want to add lenses that would work with a suit like the new TDK suit which one is it?
In the comics Batman conveys emotion through his eyes something that he can't do with lenses.

http://www.iogc.net/images/iogc/Teenage%20Mutant%20Ninja%20Turtles%201.jpg

I guess they have lenses too...:o

[slave2catwoman]

Ninja Turtles is an obvious parody. Deliberately more cartoonish. Irrelevant to this discussion.
Those are lenses in almost all Batman pics. Look at them. You see no pupils. Just like Wolverine, Spider-Man and others. Black Cat, Batgirl, Captain America, no lenses, you can see their eyes. The difference is obvious.
One can say that lenses may or may not work in a movie. That is a matter of opinion. But to say that clear white fields are a man's eyes just makes no sense. Are you telling me you can't see the difference between the first three pics (all white) and the last (pupils showing)?

Again with this.

That is the worst logic when it comes to visualization - "because that's how it was in the comics." Are you that "That's Joker What a Joke" guy?

Batman has lenses in the comic because it's a lot easier to draw simple white spots than an actual pupil that would get lost in the cowl. If they tried that in the films, he couldn't show anger, fear or any other type of emotion.

[slave2catwoman]

Ninja Turtles is obviously more cartoonish. A parody, a farce. But if they looked like that in the 3-D world, they would have lenses, yeah.

[Green Goblin 1964]

Those are lenses. Look at the pics. You see no pupils. Just like Wolverine, Spider-Man and others. Black Cat, Batgirl, Captain America, no lenses, you can see their eyes. The difference is obvious.
Wolverine doesn't have lenses either man....

The hell it's just how they draw them don't mean they have lenses...

Are you high? LOL

[CaptainClown]

The white eyes make the superheros look menacing. There are no lenses involved.

[Saint]

What comic is that, only night vision I have seen him use is like binoculars.
Then you obviously aren't paying attention. Batman has worn lenses in the comics for years. It started with night vision lenses (These are seen throughout plenty of comics, but if you need a specific example, KnightsEnd comes to mind), and eventually evolved into multi-purpose lenses. Now, the lenses are capable of multiple vision modes (thermograph, for example), and even have a heads-up display tied to the computer in the cave (see the opening issue of HUSH).

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

I'm not really lovin the new suit guys. Its a bit lame in my opinion.
I prefered the BB suit, and infact the Burton suits, and the BF suit to this new one. Very disappointed.

I thought they were trying out a new fabric this time?

[slave2catwoman]

If you can't see the difference between the eyes in Captain America's mask and Wolverine's, you need lenses, contact lenses. Next, you'll tell me those are Spider-Man's eyes.

Gotta agree with you Jimmy, I do not like this suit at all. The cape looks very restrictive, for one thing.

[slave2catwoman]

I meant the one on the sewer grate. To me, that looks like what Batman would be like in real life. I don't care for the new movie pics either. Looks like Robocop with pointy ears.

Look how NOT DEAD Captain America is. . . .

[slave2catwoman]

We can ask a million WHY questions about super heroes and their costumes. That is not the issue here. But anybody can see pupils versus solid white. Seme characters, Spider-Man for example, have huge areas of white, some like Batman, have smaller. But large or small, you can see lenses versus eyes. Again, look at the Ross versus other artrists post. How much more obvious can it be?

I think it's a cool picture, besides the padded shoulders, I'd love to one day see something like that on screen. You mind telling me what's so 'dookie' about it? If you're serious when you say that.

But I'm tired of the rubber/spandex arguments. It's apparent what we're getting and it looks just fine.

[bunk]

I always thought that suit looked really dark and cool. I just don't like the shoulders and how the material looks like suede.

[hame4479]

The white eyes make the superheros look menacing. There are no lenses involved.


Actually in Batmans case they actually are lenses, it says so in the DC fact dictionary.

[bunk]

It's ok. Saint I think already set the record straight. And thus, the topic is dead...for now.

[Conebone69]

Whats this whole white lenses thing about?

[bunk]

That's not funny.

[Conebone69]

That's not funny.
Whats not?

[bunk]

Maybe a little.

[hame4479]

Honestly I wish he had retractable lenses in the film that he could use at specific instances, like say when he is riding the bike or needs to use night vision or binoculars. It could all be built into the lenses.

[Conebone69]

Honestly I wish he had retractable lenses in the film that he could use at specific instances, like say when he is riding the bike or needs to use night vision or binoculars. It could all be built into the lenses.

[D4rkShaDoWz]

or they could just design contacts like that.

[hame4479]

They dont have to be pure white. I was thinking more along the lines of reflective/silverish and style wise prolly something like the ones used in DareDevil.

[Conebone69]

They dont have to be pure white. I was thinking more along the lines of reflective/silverish and style wise prolly something like the ones used in DareDevil.
That would still look dumb. I just want his normal eyes and thats it! If they change it then im gonna be pissed

[CaptainClown]

After glancing through my graphic novels and few comics I bought about Batman I have found no where, where it is blatant or actually mention lenses over his cowl please enlighten men to which comics to read to find it then..

so right they are uh lenses?

[bunk]

I don't think there's any reason to believe they'll make that kind of change.

[hame4479]

Read the DC Encyclopedia or whatever the **** its called and it has a rundown of all bats gear and says straight up he has lenses built into his cowl. Go to the bookstore they prolly have what im talkin about. Another example is say in the beginning of Hush when batman is taking out those thugs and their are first person views of him doing it their is a hud almost terminator style in the view because he is wearing high tech lenses.

[hame4479]

Its Batman fact I can't believe no one here knows this.

[CaptainClown]

The cowl also contains shifting lenses that identifies suspects identities, weak points through medical records, while avoiding the possibility of eye identification. The cowl has special visions, like infrared vision (heat sensors), night vision, and ultraviolet vision.[6] It is implied that Oracle manages his cowl's computer. In addition, one of the cowl's ears carries a high-gain antenna for an internal comm-link on the left side of the cowl, allowing Batman to stay in contact with his allies.[7]
Found that stuff on wikipedia, I have no idea if it is indeed true I am going on the word of who said its true and that that it is. It goes against my point so I begrudgingly put it up there.

Some people here want all that and more crammed into http://www.louanders.com/uploaded_images/Batman-706327.JPG

and not something where it looks more fitting like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/69/Batmannewsuit.jpg

[CaptainClown]

Its Batman fact I can't believe no one here knows this.

I don't think its truly set in stone only because I am reading my comics and stuff and he has yet to use it at all if he has it.

[hame4479]

Im getting this info from the DC Dictionary: The definitive guide to the characters of the DC universe. I stress the word DEFINITIVE. Let me say that more time I will even underline it DEFINITIVE.

[CaptainClown]

So he still doesn't use it then

[Ender Durden]

wutever

[slave2catwoman]

For anyone who says lenses look silly, they sure ain't any sillier than friggin' makeup. That is the worst. Batman has lenses in the comics, they are one more thing to hide his identity, and eye makeup is ridiculous. Yo' honuh, ah rests mah case.

[DeaDheaD]

Please stop posting pics of Glitterman....

now go ahead and post more b/c you want to be cute........:D :dry:

[slave2catwoman]

Besides the shimmer in the suit, Glitterman makes a great Batman. A duller finish and a better belt, and he looks like a walking comic book.

[DeaDheaD]

He looks like he's ready for bed.......the going to sleep kind not the other.

[Ender Durden]

when he turns his head his whole cape goes with it lol

[DeaDheaD]

The cowl looks like its made from a trash bag and, it doesnt fit at alllllllllll.

[slave2catwoman]

No, Batman does NOT show emotion through his eyes. They are not seen because of the lenses in the mask. This is a great illustration of why comic fans get pissed at Johnny Come Lately fans. Not only did we have to point out that Batman does have lenses in the comics, someone had to actually cite a definitive source because some people apparently can't tell the difference between blank white eyes and pupils. But then some people still insist that their way is better than the way the creators and custodians of the characters have been successfully doing things for decades. These characters work. They do not need any help from people who are not even that farmiliar with them to begin with.

J. H Williams III, i think that's his name, draws a great Batman in the current monthly title.

[Mr. Socko]

Get off the lenses people, Batman doesn't wear them in the films. I don't see the point of rambling on about something that ain't happening.

[slave2catwoman]

I guess we should just be satisfied with mascara. Hey, it works for Cindy Crawford......

No, Batman does NOT show emotion through his eyes. They are not seen because of the lenses in the mask. This is a great illustration of why comic fans get pissed at Johnny Come Lately fans. .


Um? Sorry you're wrong!!! You in fact, posted a picture of him enraged and it totally came from the eyes.

[jimmy]

Dear god, it's like the spandex Batman is ready to whip out his wang. :(

I dont know how many times im gonna say this but I hope batmans suit looks like the pic of him standing on the cop car

I dont know how many times im gonna say this but I hope batmans suit looks like the pic of him standing on the cop car
...how can it look like itself.


It's just a different angle.

[CaptainClown]

soo batmans cowl has lenses mmhm..

[Ender Durden]

soooo batmans cowl is just black cloth huh? ok lets just fit that onto Bale. hhmm looks good.

now lets frickin stick some black undies on him and we're set.

[Conebone69]

...how can it look like itself.


It's just a different angle.
Huh, im just sayin I hope he looks like that. And I hope the suit dosent look as horrible as it did in the banned pics

[Brian Braddock]

Bale's Batman isn't going to have lenses in his cowl this time around people - just face it.

If you really need to get your 'lenses in a Batman movie cowl' fix so bad then here you go - because it's the closest your'e gonna get:-

[Silver Knight]

Ok we really need new promo pics.

[slave2catwoman]

Holeshot, I posted a bunch of pics clearly showing that Batman's eyes are blank, with the notable exception of Alex Ross' drawing, pretty much the ONLY artist to draw Batman without the lenses. For seventy years, just about every other artist has NOT shown pupils. And, as pointed out earlier, the DC guides clearly state that the Bat cowl has lenses.

[CaptainClown]

It says he has retractable lenses not permanent lenses

[Mr. Socko]

soo batmans cowl has lenses mmhm..


What would make you think he has lenses in this movie?

[Conebone69]

This question is for all the people who went to WWC. Did the batsuit look more like the ones in the banned pics or the one where bats is standing on the cop car?

[CaptainClown]

It wasn't in the movie some guys brought up "it is Batman canon that he has lenses in his cowl"

Using fan made spandex costumes as an argument against making a more comic accurate film suit is asinine. Of course a suit that someone makes at home isn't going to look as good as a suit that has thousands of dollars put into it :whatever:

I would have loved a more comic accurate suit, and I'm not a fan of the new suit design. Will it kill the movie for me? No, but it's one of those things that will always bug me, because I think they were so close to making a perfect suit.

All they needed to do was slim down the BB suit a bit, and either darken the Bat or lighten the torso, and we'd have a suit that would retain an armored look while being extremely comic accurate. It's too bad, Nolan missed out on a great chance to make an awesome costume that was comic accurate at the same time.

I think what he meant was about the high contrast coloring and the spandex with the bat draws. That would be the most "faithful" rendition, and it would also look the most ludicrous on screen. I still think adding grey to it would make him look less scary, although I have to agree with you on the symbol thing.

This is an argument for a more comic accurate suit that I can accept, a compromise between the two. Do you dislike every shot of the new suit? I think it looks awesome on top the car and in the night shot from the leaked photos, but not too stoked about it when I saw it the light. I do believe lighting, editing and camera angles are going hide many of its flaws when we see the finished product.

Therefore, such as, south africa and duh-Iraq.

Actually, the dude on top looks a lot more naturally physically imposing.

Bale looks like he's just some guy in a nice bit of armor.

IMO, at least.

Dude, anyone can look physically imposing when they stand next to a little kid and wear tights that eat their ass up.

But that dude isn't standing next to a little kid. :o

I don't dislike every shot. I didn't mind the shot of him on the car, and like I said, I'm really kind of in the middle ground. I don't hate the suit, but I don't like it really either. I think the reason I want a more comic accurate suit is simply because I'm tired of the same old thing. I want something besides a bulky looking suit.



Exactly.

Ahh, I can understand that. I've never been a fan of lighter colors either. When I said I wanted the BB suit lightened, I didn't mean drastically. I mean just a bit, so there was a distinction between the bat symbol and chest (which was what I thought the whole point of having the symbol was to begin with, so people could see it).

I would have my ideal suit a dark charcoal gray, which would actually blend in with a cityscape better then straight black.

[Infinity9999x]

The guy in tights would still be an urban legend nutcase.

Also, as I've proven about 50 times, but apparently everyone here is too dense to remember, amazingly, you can wear a cloth costume and still have armor underneath the cloth.

Or have the cloth be an armor. They have already invented bulletproof t-shirts and the army is developing liquid armor. It wouldn't be a huge step to assume that Batman (with his advanced resources) could invent a fabric like armor that worked just as well as traditional bulky armor.

[Conebone69]

...they're the same suit
Yeah I know but one looks awesome and the other looks like crap. So I just wanna which one it looked like in the footage

[jimmy]

I had never seen that picture before, yet I still thought he looked physically imposing.

Okay, okay, okay. . .

Actually, If I saw him I'd be afraid of him. The first thing that would come to my mind if I saw a man dressed in ass-eating spandex and hot leather is rape. I'd only run out of fear that he'd rape me.

[Axtech]

I think that's just a matter of lighting, really. The police car pic is more of a "finished product" shot, whereas the leaked pics are just pictures taken during filming. The people who were at WW said that the lighting in the clips was a lot different from how it appears in the leaked pics, so I'd imagine that on film, the batsuit will look more like that first official pic than these leaked pics.

I think I like the Begins suit more than this thing.

Agreed

[Conebone69]

I thought so at first too but then the new suit kinda grew on me and now I like them both. But im really happy that were gonna see the old suit again in TDK. But im not so sure if I like the look of that weird metal thing on his wrist, whatever it is

[CaptainClown]

Or have the cloth be an armor. They have already invented bulletproof t-shirts and the army is developing liquid armor. It wouldn't be a huge step to assume that Batman (with his advanced resources) could invent a fabric like armor that worked just as well as traditional bulky armor.

The liquid armor is still rather bulky and wouldn't look sleek, as for a cloth bullet proof costume would still hurt from the impact. I honestly wouldn't be able to get past him taking a shot with a thin cloth like suit and him walking away from it.

[CConn]

Exactly.

Now, that isn't to say I don't like the TDK suit. I do like it. But a fabric suit COULD be done if they wanted it to be, and it COULD be just as believable and "badass" as any rubber suit.

I mean, hell, in BB, instead of painting the armor black, Bruce could simply made a black fabric suit to cover it. It would have still be the exact same suit, it'd just be fabric too. (and actually, doing that would've allowed for it to be "battle damaged"...which would've been really cool. :o)

the only thing they would change would be that they would erase the wire behind batman.

so lighting you are talking about? maybe the pic that was taken with the mobile phone. but not those pics. the lighting is how it was on the set when filmed.

Though if you remember back to when the police car shot came out there was a lot of complaining about the lighting in the shot and how the suit looked. People sort of chalked it up as not being actual finished lighting that you'd have in the movie. The leaked pics were exactly what those people said to wait for before making a real judgment.

Yes, of course I am aware that they were meant to be released eventually.

Yes, that's how the lighting looks while filming, but that's not how the lighting will look in the finished film. Like I said, people who were at WW reported that the scenes shown in the leaked pics (such as the interrogation room) were much darker and more saturated than in the leaked pics. Movies are filmed with bright lighting to capture as much sharp detail as possible...

to me that would scare me even more.

The movie audience knows Bale is wearing rubber, right?
They suspend belief and pretend thats is armor.

Why can't the fans and audience suspend belief again, and believe that if Bale were to wear a Spiderman/FF type suit, that it would be armor of some sort?

I mean, the modern military armor looks closer to armorweave than rubber afterall.

[bunk]

No, the leaked pics are just shots taken on set in the lighting used to film, NOT the finished on-screen product.


You're missing the point. It's always, "Oh the suit will look better in the next pic". That or the classic, "Let's see how it moves". It's just amusing is all.

So your sayin he'll look like he did in the leaked pics

Well yeah imo he will. That's not what I was saying though. I was commenting on how every time a new pic or pics comes out, there's a group of people who insist we reserve judgment on the suit until the next image comes out. As long as the suit continues to look bad that is. The fall back line being "lets wait until we see it in action".

[gwynplaine]

Maybe just a very brief powerful flashing of white lights in the cowl lenses to blind evildoers and then back to Bale's eyes. Just a few seconds for the comic fans and a possible weapon for Batman.

In what way? When that came out, it was nothing but complaining as far as the lighting is concerned. Now it's the same for the leaked pics. As far as the angle, I would expect more shots of the suit from the front in the movie, than the three quarter view as seen in the initial reveal. WB chose this angle specifically since it clearly looks the best.

I think the suit looks sleeker in the EW pic. It's due to the angle and pose tho. Bale isn't bending at all and it's a three quarter up shot. The lighting helps it a little, or rather the lack there of. The leaked pics don't leave much to the imagination, that's the difference.

[DeaDheaD]

No, Batman does NOT show emotion through his eyes. They are not seen because of the lenses in the mask. This is a great illustration of why comic fans get pissed at Johnny Come Lately fans. Not only did we have to point out that Batman does have lenses in the comics, someone had to actually cite a definitive source because some people apparently can't tell the difference between blank white eyes and pupils. But then some people still insist that their way is better than the way the creators and custodians of the characters have been successfully doing things for decades. These characters work. They do not need any help from people who are not even that farmiliar with them to begin with.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Besides, a six foot tall bat without pupils is scarier than a six foot tall bat with pupils :yay:

[Rorschach II]

Why would someone in real life ... stick white lenses over their eyes?

Batman is a mere mortal who transforms himself into a superhero. He fights against and alongside metahumans, but he has no superpowers of his own. So what does he do? He uses his wealth and his training to "simulate" superpowers. That's like, his thing. He's not invulnerable like the Man of Steel, but his expensive suit (should) protect against stabbings and bullets. He can't fly, but he can afford the Batwing, memory cloth, and other gadgets to help him out with that. He's not super-fast, but he's got the Batmobile and Batpod. Same thing with the lenses in his eyes and speakers in his cowl: he doesn't naturally have Superman's enhanced senses, but he can use his intellect and his resources to re-create them.

[Sandman138]

I wouldn't want him to look as blind as a bat with white cataract eyes. Would just be comical in dialogue scenes. Besides that the loss of expression is too much a compromise for a film, especially when the mask is fixed in a frown

They work in the comics, they would work on film. A bunch of second guessers do not know better than the creators of the character. Once again, HUGE lenses and a full face mask works for Spider-Man. Amazing how successful things can be when you stick to the original concept without adding new "interpretations".

Spider-man couldn't show any emotion in the movie...that's why he always took off his mask.

I love it when superheroes take off their mask. I was waiting for a shot of a maskless Batman right when Rachel falls asleep in the cave, but it never came. When Keaton takes off the mask in Batman Returns, that was the money shot of the movie for me. Thank God I had many of those in the Spiderman Trilogy.

[CaptainClown]

Ugh I hated those shots, but to each his or her own but man I hate it when they do that.

[Gianakin_]

I love maskless heores so much, that when I was little, I'd only buy the hero action figure that you had the ability to take of his mask or the whole costume. From Power Rangers to Batman TAS to SM1.

It is these moments where you see both alter egos combined, I love it.

Yeah, didnt he arrive back at the party at WM and Alfred had to remind him that he had it on? Yeah, tonally, that might have been a bit off.

Anyways, I agree with Gianakin's sentiments - In the grand scheme of all things TDK, the black eye paint issue isnt one of the things that bothers me a great deal

[Mee]

Yeah, paint is fine. But for it to come off with his mask is just...dumb? But most of Batman Returns was, so yeah it wasn't a big deal.

[Juggernaut33]

Yeah, paint is fine. But for it to come off with his mask is just...dumb? But most of Batman Returns was, so yeah it wasn't a big deal.

For instance I think they look great.

Hmmm, I guess but the way I'd vision them is to look like crap

Does anyone else think like me, that the production value on the Nolan Batsuits has gone downhill with this new trilogy?

I mean, if you look at B89, BR, and BF, the suit progressively got better. Not only lighter, but more streamlined. More professional looking. The evidence is on the symbols on the chest. BF'd being the best.

I can understands the reason in BB, afterall, Brucew is just starting out, but now, in TDK, the suit looks just as B-movie. It looks like something the Green Goblin or a Powerranger would wear.

After glancing through my graphic novels and few comics I bought about Batman I have found no where, where it is blatant or actually mention lenses over his cowl please enlighten men to which comics to read to find it then..

Batman #608. The end. You lose. Batman wears lenses, period. This has never actually been a debate: anyone who knows anything about Batman knows he wears lenses, and everyone in this thread has explained that to you repeatedly. They have appeared as far back as KnightsEnd, and probably even further. They feature prominently in Batman's defeat of Jean-Paul Valley in the closing chapter of that story. They are shown outright in comics frequently.

I didn't see that coming...:whatever:

Just cuz you don't like them...doesn't mean we have to.

I know, but I bet alot of people dont what bats to have white lenses

Of course there are...and they are entitled to their own opinion.

It's all tastes...you can't force them upon each other, that's why a debate over it will never be won.

[Mr. Socko]

Yeah, he takes off the mask and all the black around his eyes magically goes off with it.:o


I've always thought that was exactly why they didn't show Bale's face when he took the cowl off in Begins. We only saw his back when he was facing Rachel.

Dude that was a while ago, I even said he has lenses pages ago. You must really want to prove me wrong well congrats, you did it. So how long did you spend looking for evidence of that?

Im pretty sure your right. Lol, he'd look emo

I have something called "memory." It allows me to recall information I've assimilated. In plain terms, it means I didn't spend any time "looking for evidence." I consulted my memory.

[Rorschach II]

And even if he spent time looking for evidence, he would've been reading Batman comics, and that's time well spent!

Lol, if we keep this up it'll begin to become a running gag to just bombard the guy with evidence of lenses once he's already admitted defeat!

Oooh memory well that just there solves everything then. :whatever:

[bunk]

What's this about lenses again?

[CaptainClown]

they are just laying the evidence down on me about lenses even though I said I was wrong. (shrug)

[El Payaso]

Yeah, paint is fine. But for it to come off with his mask is just...dumb? But most of Batman Returns was, so yeah it wasn't a big deal.

Not by chance more stupìd than having a panda eyed Batman declaring his love to Catwoman.

But most of Batman Returns was, so yeah it wasn't a big deal.

How so?
