The Batsuit Thread

[Harrier]

Honest question,

Are there any other color pallettes that could work for the Batusit that would convey stealth, intimidation and all the things Batman would want other than Black (or Black and Grey?)

The one reason I liked the Injustice suit is that it did use some blue hues and whatnot to give it a different kind of look.

Not a fan of the armoured look, but this is a very good attempt overall. I like the way that the segmentation matches human anatomy, unlike the jigsaw-puzzle horror show on the TDK/R batsuit. The only things I find a bit clumsy are the gauntlets (I wish this approach hadn't ever been used by the videogames- it looks awful) and the black-on-black symbol.

It may look a bit more...credible if the model relaxed his expression.

I'm a big defender of the blue- as a child of the 80s, blue and grey is what Batman wears to me. It is a perfectly reasonable pairing for an urban environment. I understand that the evidence is that pure black colour blocking is much easier to see in the gloom, as it gives a sharp outline. I think any colour would be effective if it was muted. Midnight blue and charcoal grey looks good, and would work well.

Now I shall man the barricades while my opinion is assaulted from all fronts.

As long as there isn't bright yellow, I definitely can agree.

Love the segmented armour on the abdomen and the all black utility belt.

Not very happy with the ears on the cowl and especially the nose. The 'gauntlets' look horrible.

[Travesty]

I'm just not a fan of that suit, at all.

Blue and grey have actually been proven by military research to be the most effective colours for urban camouflage.

Gray is the best color if you want general anonymity. Which is why Michael Mann's criminals always wear gray suits.

If that is purely fan made, then I have no criticism for it only a bloody well done.

Wouldn't want it in a live action film, but bloody well done.

Yeah, it's a good fan costume, even a professionally made costume, but not good at all for a movie.
