The Dark Knight Batsuit Discussion Thread

[Keyser Sushi]

Seriously, Keyser...I agree.

Not to mention the "oval bat" is played out. And the bat-thong looks ridiculous. The costume we have now is WAY better than the Bat-thong costume. I love the current cowl's defintion and unique animalistic look and thick neck.

Real talk. Plus, "Bat-thong" is funny. That's my new favorite term. Bat-thong!

What's really funny is how jealous you are. And try to hide it behind some technical explanation. The cowl should probably be a little wider, like in Returns, but there's no need to be as wide as in B89 or balloony as in Begins.

LOL. That would be so cutting and fell a stroke, if only I didn't have a college degree in Fine Arts. I'm not even slightly jealous. His artwork is great, and I never said it wasn't. What I said is, there's no room for a human being's ears in the cowl. That's not a problem for comic art - Neal Adams (my favorite Batman artist) never left room for Bruce's ears, either. No sweat. But Neal Adams wasn't designing a costume for a MOVIE.

This is a conceptual sketch about how it should look, not a photo about the final product and that is so obvious that your bashing attempts fail msierably.

I'm not trying to bash him. I'm offering constructive criticism. There's no room for the ears. As a piece of artwork it's fine, but you said it yourself - it's not a photo of the final product. And what you fail to comprehend is that artists draw things to look good, but in real life they NEVER look like the drawing. That's the nature of art. He did a piece of comic book art, and it's lovely. But a man in that bat-suit would look nothing like that drawing. And that's my point.

Go (back?) to your drawing table and work on your own skills.

Speaking of working on your skills... you need to do that, too. You're so far off the mark on your verbal attack, you insulted the guy behind me by mistake. Good job.

Leave the good artists like Wam alone.

Wams is a great artist. I never said he wasn't. He really should see a doctor about the unwashed jerk named El Payaso whose lips are attached to his ass, though.

That thing blulges all over...LOL!!!

Yes. WITH MUSCLES!

 

[Wams]

Yes. WITH MUSCLES!

Big FAKE folding puffy ones...LOL!!!!

Or the big giant muscles Bale clearly had in the shirtless scenes.

Sorry but we are talking about the suit.

 

[Boom]

Yes. WITH MUSCLES!

The cowl neck bulges. The chest bulges. The areas between the upper chest and shoulders bulge.

The suit bulges, and it's not because of Bale's physique.

 

[Keyser Sushi]

Yes, but said muscles are inside the suit, thus there is nothing fake about them.

I was being a git.

It is, of course, a fairly rigid material, and the man wearing it is crouching and fighting and doing things that involve a lot more bending than we've seen in a movie batsuit before. I think it is the nature of the material that it pops a little when it bends, because it's too thick and rigid to crinkle like cloth. But I also didn't see it as a problem. It didn't look bad.

The only way to totally solve that issue would be to go with a completely different material. Which, I wouldn't honestly mind, but I don't see it happening. They want the suit to look like armor, so it's going to be rigid, and that's all there is to it.

 

[El Payaso]

Lol, I'm sorry I give you so much work.

Understood. I just had to maintain my ignorance, that's all .

LOL. Sorry, I got carried away. I'm a chronic "explainer."

It's a spare tire almost literally.

I dont see it while I watch the film, so its not that big of a problem.

Wow! Batman disguised a red x! Hehehe...

Look at me, I can draw Batman! X

I can draw Batman really BIG!

X

Is it me, or is the new "red X" look just not intimidating?

 

[StorminNorman]

No, but it does make for an intersting Bat-signal.

 

[Keyser Sushi]

Quite. No one will ever know if the police need Batman, or if the HOV lanes are closed.

 

[Spider-Girl]

What?! Now Batman is copying Teen Titans, how pathetic! (Red X was from that show right?)

I hate the suit with gold, I doubt Batman would use it because it stands out too much. He is supposed to be able to hide in shadows & a big shiny logo on his shirt may just make him easier to spot.

The Batman Begins suit is my favourite, if it were to have other colours I would suggest silver. It would look cool if the logo was silver, maybe the belt & part of his gloves too.
