Batman Forever Suit... Not That Bad

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Ofcourse they do, But IN the movies the people arent in their right mind.
There is a big diffrence comparing movie universe to real life.

If there is a "hero" dressing as a bat in real life with a muscle type armor like in '89, we would just laugh at it. Not fear it, Like they do in the batman movies.

If a person wearing body armor in real life like in begins, with a cowl and cape, Trying to look like a bat. We would laugh at it TOO.

IN the movie world, The explanation of the muscle look in '89 and up, Makes more sense than using a normal looking armor on a man who want to look like a bat, A animal.

In some ways the Begins suit is just as confusing and animalistic, But me personally prefer a muscle look compared to a armor look. He is afterall looking to scare the thugs... And to me. Using a armor looking like muscles is alot more indimidating for the people seeing him IN the movie universe.

I wonder if this make sense, Just my opinion though. And im not gonna try to change what anyone else think.
I've always loved the old suits, the new suits have really never done it for me.

The difference is Bales Batman fights so fast and was taught as a ninja, he has no time for high flying kicks and fancy fighting, he takes out his adversaries as quick as possible. In doing so, they only catch quick glimpses of him, while most of the time he hides in the dark before he attacks, I think thats equal to your comparision to the 89 suit which by the way is my favorite. It seems more animalistic, to pounce attack and defeat the enemies with them only seeing quick glances at you, its not like they have any real time to see the body armor, now I cant speak for TDK cause until its released we wont know how its dealt with.

I agree, furthermore, the martial art taught to Bale is an absolutely brutal one. There's no messing around, it's pure base animal fighting. It reminds me a little of Jeet-Kun Do in terms of always being on the offensive and doing the most damage possible.

Jeet-Kun-Do was invented by Bruce Lee right?

 

[RobC]

Yeah, 'The way of the intercepting fist' the martial art used in BB is similar, it's a very attack-orientated style.

those costumes are over the top crap lol

I dunno, the Watchmen suits look kinda Schumacher-esque. Don't know if I like them yet.

 

[Comics N' Toons]

schumerites, burtonites, nolanites ?????? GET A LIFE GUYS... their movies! ! !

TRUE BAT-FANS read the comics! ! ! !

The watchmen suits need to look over the top... IT FITS THE SOURCE MATERIAL

Schumacher's costumes weren't really all that bad, sans the nipples. It was mainly how they filmed the costumes. I guarantee if there were not close up shots of Batman, Robin, and Batgirl suiting up in the movies, there would be less complaints about them.

I agree. I quite liked all of the suits in Schumacher's films besides the "finale" ones(sonar suit and chrome plated 'ice' suits)

The batman boards have simply twisted around the true meaning of what it is to be a Burtonite or Nolanite. It really has far more to do with their work than just BATMAN, but that's all these boards focus on. Being a Burtonite does not mean I think Tim's Batman films are the end-all be-all take on Batman, it simply means I am a big fan of his overall body of work and I think he's a fantastic filmmaker, one of my very favorites and I consider him one of the best. Just as the meaning of real Nolanites are those who are big fans of the majority of Nolan's films and consider him one of the best.

But here on this bizarro board, you will find "Burtonites" who think Burton's take on Batman is definitive and hardly care about his other work, and "Nolanites" whose only films of Nolan they've even viewed are Batman Begins and the Prestige. Neither persons deserve to hold the title of Burtonite or Nolanite. I am a Burtonite in the same sense I am a Spielbergian, I see him as one of the best filmmakers of all time, I own all of his films and own all types of his respective merchandise. I'm not a Spielbergian simply because I think he directed a better Jurassic Park film than Joe Johnston.

 

[RobC]

I agree, i've always said i'm a Batman-Ite. Or a BatMite if you will. I like Nolan's stuff in general compared to Burton, doesn't mean I don't think B89 and BR are incredible pieces of work.

As a film student though, it's better to study Burton, just his visual style...

Anyways, what I meant with my Schumacher-esque costume comment was that the suits looked like BF and B+R suits, with the big sculpted muscles and cod-pieces and stuff.

I'm a Schumacherite just for Batman Forever, seriously...

Nobody seems to love Batman & Robin the way others love Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever, and Batman Begins.

But then again, why would they?

Kid: Mom...Dad...

Parents: Yes, son?

Kid: I think I might be...

Parents: Oh no...

Kid: ...a fan of Batman & Robin

Parents: NO! NO! PLEASE, GOD...NO!

In the heavily conservative British newspaper the Daily Mail, the infamously alarmist film reviewer Chris Tookey wrote that watching Batman & Robin will turn your kids into gay bikers.

Don't you think as bad as BATMAN & ROBIN was, that it just represented a certain era of BATMAN... and pretty well too

Of course, every film made has its own era in the batman comics, style-wise.
