The Dark Knight Capes and Cowls - New Batsuit Discussion Thread

[TheDarkKnight08]

i kinda want short horns on the cowl. batman's always had long horns in the movies, i think short horns might look kinda cool. just not adam west short, lol.

I agree. I've always wanted something closer to the way the suit looks in the comics, especially Batman: Year One. I like the new suit and think it looks badass, but I'd like something closer to the comics, particulary the short ears. TDKR made them look badass.

He runs like a Welshman, doesn't he? Doesn't he run like a Welshman?

Lol, family guy...

There a particular reason it's being showcased next to some random fashion crap?

Okay I'm just confused now, because here the Batsuit looks terrific, the neck looks fine, and the cowl looks great. I guess the proper lighting and angles make a tremendous difference, which I'm sure they'll get right at least most of the time in TDK.

I love how, with one-tenth the budget that "The Dark Knight" has, Bat In The Sun's short films have the better suits. It's mind-boggling.

They might be more accurate to the comics, but they aren't better by a long shot. They actually look quite hokey. I'm not the biggest fan of the TDK suit, but it is starting to grow on me, and I'd much rather have that than the silly Halloween costumes that appear in the fan films. Though I think a suit made of cloth or a cloth-like material definitely could work for Bats. Just look at Spider-Man and Superman Returns (yeah, I know, the latter wasn't a very good movie, but the costume was still alright).

At least theirs doesn't have a map of the London underground on their legs.

I'm just saying.

I don't know how you can call it Halloween costume quality though, whatever your thoughts on them. I mean hey, if you know of any place that sells Halloween costumes like that, give me the name.

I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Notice how much better it looks in the 2nd picture where the lighting exposure isn't as hot or as warm as in the first. Looks great.

[the_tortel]

I personally think the new suit is top-notch

Yeah, I knew it was a superhero exhibit. Just didn't know what those other designs were doing there. But looking at it now, all of them inspire the TDK suit design, so it makes sense.

 

[HUMANIMAL]

its fenomenal...they added a hole lot of details but not like they did in batman and robin...wich was more decoration than anything else...but here it is added with plausibel reasons...just like clothes for motorcycles ...its protective....stylish...and agile too....now he can kick ass without looking like a piece of wood...i realy hope we see some cool movements while hes fighting....... NINJAAAAA

yeah running around in pyjamas to stop gangsters with knifes and guns.....
well..... atleast i gotta admit it exists...... bulletproof clothing

 

[Rac]

Ehh... I'm not feeling the legs. They look terrible.

 

[jimmylace]

Ive always liked the utility belt on the recent costumes...but everything else I dislike on this suit. The BB suit was okay, but this is a step backswards in my opinion. Whatever you think about the Burton movies, the Batsuit was awesome in them, especially Batman Returns. This transformer crap needs to be dropped

 

[COMPO]

Are these the new suits for Robin and Batgirl?

Hopefully this comes out much darker on-screen, however...no complaints from me on the suit...

HolyPurpleSocks, does your Ewan McGregor Riddler have an English or Scottish accent? No way can he do American.

the longer ears have always looked better on the movie suits compared to the shorter ones in BB which I did actually like. I just think if they were going to change the suit for TDK they shoulda made the ears more pointy and a little thinner and longer and coming from the sides of the cowl, not the back.

Yes he can- watch 'Nightwatch' with him and Josh Brolin...Or a number of other ones I can't recall at the time being...He's a very talented actor, and just as Heath- he can disguise his accent based on the role given...Just so happens many of the roles he takes allow for him to keep his natural accent...
