He already would look blind with those lenses lol

 

[Mr. Vice]

The lenses would be even more harmful for Batman while fighting crime. Those oh so shiny lenses would make him a easier target for his enemies to shoot at or stab at. And I know DAMN well that some lenses are not indestructible.

 

[darknight7]

Suit yourself.

But if I were a vigilante, going up against knives, bullets, and poisonous substances, I'd want my eyes safe. Can't fight much crime when you're BLIND, can you?

Very very very VERYYYYYY well said. It is true that the contacts would not work in Nolan's world. BUT, lenses would definately be something a hero would want to wear for protection. Not just knives, bullets, and poison. But think about when he is gliding, or on top of a moving vehicle. It is not easy to keep your eyes open without them watering. And if he was to fight some dirty fighter, the guy could try to throw stuff in his eyes. The lenses, in my opinion, are a great idea. I am now all for the lenses.

PS: if this is suposed to be different than Burton's films, than add the lense

[Boom]

At least he WOULDN'T be.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

But then people would argue that the lense thing had never been mentioned before. Besides it seems like in cartoons and comics characters in masks just seemed to be drawn without eyes lol

Make them glare-free. My glasses are glare-free. Therefore they don't reflect light. As for making them indistructible. I am sure there is clear substance out there that can stop knives (bullet proof glass).

He also LOOKS like a bat, but is he one?

But Batman's are...

I concur after looking at those cool manip lenses

 

[Super_Ludacris]

He'd be blind as a bat

 

[Mr. Vice]

Don't take this the wrong way. I love the lenses in the comic book, they look magnificant and give Batman a cold stare. But I just think it would be odd to see that translated to live action picture and it would be difficult all around(Like do you really think you could see well with some lenses in the EXACT same shape of your eyes? Bale would kick the costume designer's a$$ for making even harder to play the greatest of all time.)

 

[Mr. Socko]

Thats why they shouldn't be EXACTLY the same shape as his eyes.

 

[Mr. Socko]

He'd be blind as a bat

And he looks like one too!

 

[darknight7]

Here is why we didn't get a square mouth cut. because Bale has a thin face, not a square jaw. Just incase no one knew that already...lol

Good point but the cowl jaw still shouldn't be so wide

 

[darknight7]

Exactly. I actually came to a conclusion while on photoshop, I will post the pic in a minute. The mask could not have a square mouth opening because Bale has a thin face. AND, because they didn't want the mask to open up when Bale turned his head (Like Keaton in Batman Returns, his mask opened up so much when he turned). PLUS, it conceles his identity more. So in my opinion, if the mask wasn't so ROUND, and had straighter ears (not so much behind his head like a gopher) than he would look much better. Although I like the square jaw look, it cannot be done with Bale. But the ears and roundness off the head could be worked on. I shall post.

[Mr. Socko]

I hate when Keaton's mask would open up like that. It looked cheap.

 

[darknight7]

Here, this is about as much as they could cut open the mouth on Bale, due to his face being thin. And the pic on the left, is what the mask would look like if they changed the ears, and made the mask a little less round.

*EDIT*
Look at the left picture. I erased the shine on the cowl that made it look round. Just to give it a more straight look.

[Mr. Socko]

Great work! I love your ears, mouth piece, and erasing the shine worked very well.

I also think they should slightly change the facial expression on the cowl.

 

[Super_Ludacris]

lol@ the surgery game on the cowl

 

[darknight7]

Im done for the night, this stuff is tiring. lol. Nah, I'm just lazy.

Take care everyone.

Lol, good way to put it.

Bye, "See ya soon."

Edit: Another thing is the Bat-symbol. It's dumb that Batman has the old Bat-symbol on his suit but everything else is the new Begins symbol including the Bat-signal. They should put the new Begins symbol on the chest.

Hell ****ing No

Keep The Costume The Same

The official "BEGINS" bat-logo wouldn't work on his chest. That's why they went with the Jim Lee-esque bat insignia.

Yeah, I heard that before too but why couldn't it work?

I thought I saw early photos of the bat-suit with the Begins logo on it but it might have been just a good manip.
