The second shot of Batman, just with him, in big. Too much baby fat. I gotta tell you that i always thought Affleck would look better in the suit. But there's just something there that doesn't work, and i really suspect casual moviegoers won't like his figure. We do, because we associate that strange body type to DKR, but regular people don't know nothing about that and will probably just find him odd.
Do you mean this image? http://i.imgur.com/pXXoJjj.jpg
 
In some shots he actually looks like a fat person in a muscle suit. But again, he also looked weird in the graphic novel. But at least there he looked rock solid, with very strong and masculine facial features.
 
Yap. Cringe worthy to me. The people i know who are not CB readers also aren't crazy about the images they have seen.
Is that pic a little less flattering in still form? Sure. Cringe worthy though?

Well, TO ME it is. It just looks weird. And being sqeezed inside the mask makes him look even more fat. Also, his mouth, cheeks...those features are all very "baby-like". You have a very mean looking suit and mask and you have a face that doesn't quite match the rest. In another shot, he looks like he has no neck. I don't know, man, his figure as Batman is just weird. He doesn't look bad in all shots, but those he does, man...they're really bad.

I think the suit is, overall, really good. But it just seems that it has the wrong guy inside. The suit shouldn't be that bulky in the first place. I know it is bulky in reference to the graphic novel, but he doesn't look comfortable at all in that suit. And taking into account what he phisically needs to do, he doesn't look like someone who could do it. Not in that suit. That's not the ideal body type for someone who moves like Batman.

I think you could find unflattering stills of just about anyone though, well not a young Elvis Presley according to Tom Hanks though ;) Got to go by in motion how he looks I think.

IMO, Keaton in the suit in Batman Returns looked great in all shots. Affleck has a few good pics too. The problem is just most of them being kind of weird. The one on the set, next to Snyder, is pretty weird too. I think it depends on the angle. From the side he looks good. From any other angle he looks weird.
 
I don't see this shot as weird at all. Actually it's probably my favorite of batfleck. You seem to have quite a nasty grandma though.
 

Like i said before, all that fat on his face is not flattering at all and doesn't represent my vision of Batman. Even at an advanced age in DKR he looks more manly and intimidating.

Those pics of Affleck don't have much to do with this:

That ain't my fav Batman look anyway :o
 
It's also the cowl design rather than just his face in the straight facing shots.

They chose to cover a bit more of his face and the jawline with the cowl.

I don't think his face looks fat. :confused:

We're returning to the "good" old talk about differences between a drawn character and a real life one, one would assume everyone knows by now. It is impossible to make the cowl as fitting as it is in the comics and that not result in face looking a bit puffy under certain angles. True, Keaton didn't have that particular "problem", but that's because his cowl wasn't nearly as fitting to his face, in some shots it actually looked like it was two size bigger than needed. It's quite simple, really.
 
He doesn't have a fat face, I don't know what @Deadshot is on about. :D

This one is my favorite image of Batfleck so far. And here you can see that he's not really that much bigger than Supes.

Which is expected. People and real masks aren't drawings, it has to do with the fact that the mask has to hold itself to the face and keep its form (as much as possible) whenever a slight head turn occurs. Add to the fact that this new cowl has some tricky system underneath that lets Affleck turn his head, so there is even more complextity to it, having a bigger jaw opening than what they went with would result in the cowl having much bigger chance to loose its form and attachment to the face even with slight movements.

And I still personally admire the cowl designers here, consider all that I have said above (complexity and stuff) and yet the mouth opening in this new cowl is still noticeably bigger (and better imo) and more "Batman like" than any of the Bale's cowls.
