The Dark Knight Capes and Cowls - New Batsuit Discussion Thread

I can't remember Keaton smiling. I remember Kilmer smiling though.

Check out the "nice outfit" moment. Right after Napier says this line, you can see Batman smile.

 

[lujho]

Whoops, I meant Kilmer. Same letter, anyway.

this picture makes me absolutely love the new suit!

 

[Sandouras]

Am i the only one that doesnt like how his mouth looks now? Sure its an improvement over squishy Begins, but its not just too narrow, its too long on the vertical axis.

It just needed to be somewhere between the two movies. Meh, only Ironman did his suit right. That suit was complete nerdgasm.

I can honestly say that Bale's jawline and head in the cowl are not concerns of mine.

Amen.

The suit looks great, the end.

Agreed, and yes I think the suit looks great when shot with the right amount of darkness and angle.

 

[ActuallyRobin]

I do however prefer the more uniform colours of the BB suit, but the new one is great

 

[regwec]

Amen.

The suit looks great, the end.

Hahah!

Couple of cowl variations:

I still like the original alot better

Couple of cowl variations:

Admirable effort to the right direction. THough the cowl reminds me of Jack's joker. Its like its smiling or something (i know you used the comics as an inspiration).
I could go with something like the Begins opening, meaning putting the angle at the bottom of the opening.
But for some reason, on your shop the extra cowl cheeks are better. I really hate how they gave him these extra cheeks that suddenly come to his little jaw in the middle.

 

[Sandouras]

But i really like how you erased the cheek lines that end in his nose. You made them more opaque and it really looks better. On the original they stand out to much making his head look like a brick.

 

[lujho]

I really just wanted to make his head more the shape of a proper head, including putting the corner of the jaw where it should/would be. None of the Bat cowls have ever put a properly pronounced jawline in the right place.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

He seems to be really vunerable in the neck throat area in the front, on the real suit. Like someone could just throw a blade and get him square in the throat, he'd be done with.

Looks better Lujho. This new suit suit really had the potential to be far superior than the old. It's shame they got so carried away with it.

 

[Dark Knigh7]

I dont think its the jawline, as much as its the nose, that looks so bad.

 

[lujho]

With a more simplified suit - although really, manipping the TDK suit to look more like the Begins one is kind of pointless - just imagine this cowl on a suit more like the Begins one:

How so? You mean those diagonal ridges that run from the outer corner of the eyes down to the nose?

If so, I agree, which is why I always get rid of them when I do a cowl manip.

 

[SheldonLevene]

Happy Saturday Hype. I can see we are all still *****ing about the suit. Nice manips though Lujho. Even as I like the suit the way it is your manips are not too shabby.

my eyes thank you.

 

[Franky4Fingers]

Hahah!

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

No matter what manip of the new suit Ive seen, I still like TDK suit itself better.

I just think its to big, and it comes down to his mouth to much. Its makes Batman look like he has a stuffy nose.

You guys see what I'm saying?
