The Dark Knight Batsuit Discussion Thread

Do you like the idea of a new Batsuit in TDK?

  • Yes, I like the idea of a change to a greyish, lighter & more streamlined suit.

  • No, I would rather Batman stay in the black, body armour type suit from BB.

I didn't really care for "nice coat," I think it could have worked in the right scene but I don't think it did in that particular one. My favorite one-liner was "I gotta get one of those" Gordon was just great :woot:
 
Nice coat wasn't funny at all, IMO. Especially in the scene it was used in. The big reveal of Batman, and he cracks a lame one liner to a homeless guy.

Meh.
 
He wasn't blonde in FOREVER, people. He had brown hair.



Why is that funny? When did "repeating something we did earlier" become funny or clever writing?



Could someone give me any newer comics titles for me to read? I want something contemporary but good and i also want it to have the contemporary view/insight on Bruce.

Track down BATMAN: WAR ON CRIME by Alex Ross and Paul Dini. Also see if you can get ahold of some of Devin Grayson's GOTHAM KNIGHTS run. She presents a very balanced (and honest) take on Bruce Wayne.



Eh...
Well, batman's first appearence, him holding his pray like a predator, music playing loud, he says "i'm batman" revealing himself to the public and then....nice coat! Very, very, very inappropriate timing. If it was said some other time it wouldnt be so bad. It would be like batman saying something like "you have helped me before" to gordon, with gordon not realizing he means the night his parents were killed. Kinda like an easter egg. Stupid goyer, moving on from his sh**.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Mine are: "does it come in black" and "you should see my other one", both referring to the tumbler. They werent even cheesy. Its something anyone would say. The first one shows how pleased he is with it, and the other is his sneaky self making a joke to himself.

I mean, you would say something like that. Even Clark Kent would say something like: "you should see how i cook my meals" (heat vision)
 
i hope goyer isnt doing TDK. nice coat, excuse me, scarecrow tazored death, horrible.
 
"NIce coat" and "I gotta get me one of those" are horrible lines and belong to a Michael Bay film, not in Batman.

How "new" do you mean? Ed Brubaker's post-NML run remains my favourite run of the new millennium (though this may change depending on where Morrison's current run goes). I recommend it to everyone, including illiterates, small animals, and inanimate objects.

The worst part is how those one liners aren't even worthy of a Bay movie.
 
What the hell? Bay jokes consist of lame ass stuff like fart jokes, jokes that consist of the use of the b-word, and *********ion jokes. Tell me how that is anything like that?

"I gotta get me one of those" was just tongue in cheek, it wasn't suppose to be LOL funny. With that said, Batman saying "Nice Coat" to the bum did not mix well, that was lame.
 
All my family, friends, and I liked the "Nice coat." line. We had no problem with it.
 
I think it's funny that they never show the impact of Batman having armor after they went to lengths to explain it. I.E, he never got shot, stabbed, it's never mentioned again, etc.
Yeah....all they did was set him on fire, drop him 5 stories to land on a car, be kicked and beaten by a mob, and drug along behind a monorail.....I'm sure the armored suit had nothing with him surviving those things.

The suit looks amazing even this action figure prove it .

He wasnt just dragged by the monorail, he crashed on that road sign, breaking it to pieces. Then he pulled himself up and went through the window and into the train, hitting the train seats. That dude is hardcore!

Despite the improved mobility, i could stab this guy in the gut. Easily. If he let me that is. But if you look at the leaked pics of him interrogating the joker or watch the roker video, you ll see that the pads are a lot closer together, so much that from a small distance you could mistake it for a BB type armour.

The ironic thing is his suit shouldn't have protected him from much of that. You can put on body armor, but it's not going to help you much when you fall five stories onto a car. He should have broken a few ribs at the very least.

It also wouldn't have helped him hang on to the grapple behind the monorail, Bruce shouldn't have been able to hang on to the grapple, that train must have been going close to 50mph. His arm should have been pulled out of it's socket.

But then again, that's why I'm glad Nolan's not too realisitc:yay:

Not to mention he got tazed by Rachel!

The key words are "lame ass". Maybe "Nice coat, b****." would fit better in a Bay movie.

I didn't ask. Someone else did. I've ready pretty much every Batman comic in the last 10-15 years, and most of the "important" ones before that.

But yes, Brubaker's Batman is amazing. I love Brubaker's take on the character.

It may have protected him (not that it should have, a complete defiance of the laws of physics did most of that for him), but it's just completely ignored. A small comment about it would have been nice, to justify the time they spent showing him finding/making it, etc.

Exactly.

He grappled on the train while it was accelarating from zero speed. From the sound of the belt that was heard when he got free from the crowd and the fact that he flew upwards, and not dragged along the street i assume that he had managed to put the line between the belt's cogs and started to draw it back. For some reason it didnt stay there, hence he was hanging on the line (whose end was at the grapple gun positioned at the back of his belt. i think....). He eventually put all his strength to pull himself up a bit, so as to put the line back between the cogs which then drew it back.

I am overanalyzing i know!

If you want an example of a situation where his hand should have been dislocated, or worse, torn off, look no further than the scene where bruce saves rhas from the cliff. Beautiful scene, but totally unrealistic.
 
The suit did protect Bruce from the electrical current of Rachel's Taser.

While it not knives or bullets - it was a good demonstration to emphasize it's protective qualities.

If you saw TF, then you know that he doesn't only resort to the aforementioned types of jokes.

The "Nice coat" one, you explained it. The "I gotta get me" was really an out of character moment for Gordon, just to insert a typical action movie line, that belongs in the 80s. Since similar lines are being kept alive by Bay, I said that this one was also Bay-esque.
 
Eh...I guess I'm the only one on the planet that found the "nice coat" line to really work well in that scene. I still love it when I watch Begins to this day.

*shrugs*
