The problem is that the manip shows the armour on the outside in spite of what it was supposed to show. It looks like another Burton bat-suit variation just in grey (which doesn't look bad at all btw).

That's my point when I said Burton improved the Batman suit forever. Now other direrctors and even the comics are using it and can't go back to what was previously traditional.
Now, wearing the armour under the suit and make the armour the suit itself are two different things.

But in this case it was such an improvement that it became comic canon.

I agree. It will always be a risk though to discern which characters are better to have a different suit and how different it should be.
