The Dark Knight Capes and Cowls - New Batsuit Discussion Thread

It looks bad in more than one picture. The nose issue has been brought up many times before.

Can you show more pics that the nose looks bad cause so far the only other pic that the nose looks bad is that cardboard cutout for the Reese's promotion and to be honest it looks like the SAME exact picture, which I just realized.

Are you serious? Have you never visited this thread before?

Show me another picture where it looks bad (discounting the one where he's walking through the interrogation room; the shape of his head is the problem there, not the nose). It looks identical to the Begins nose in every other shot; the only circumstance where I can understand people complaining is if said people didn't like the Begins nose, either (for some reason).

thats kind of a broad question to answer.

Looks fine. Looks just like the Begins nose, like I said.

 

[Judson Caspian]

When his nose is that close to the mouth, he looks like a dork. It's like the cowl is too big for his head or something.

Feel free to post BB shots that compare the two in the same angle. I don't see it, to be honest.

What do you guys think of the cowl in this pic?

Nice close up shot of BATMAN .

Here you go:

I suppose the TDK nose is a little longer, but that's really more of an issue of how low they cut the mouth.

No, it doesn't.

Well, there ya go. The mouth cut and slight nose extension do make a helluva difference. In that shot, it doesn't look like a 6 year old wearing daddy's motorcycle helmet.

I really don't think so. The difference is there, but I disagree that it's an important one.

Nor does he look that way in the picture you posted.

I do actually see a difference in them, not alot, but a little bit.

With regards to the comparison to the Begins nose, I think it really depends on the angle. I'm sure if Bats had his head hunched in the Begins shot like he hunches his head in the "WHERE IS HE!?!" shot, then we would see the nose look closer to the mouth.

Is it possible that Nolan wanted the Batsuit to look funny? That he wanted the audience to suppose that criminals were given a sense of false security? I can't think of any other reason for the thing to look so hilarious.

You don't think in some shots that the cowl looks too big for his head? That's a chief complaint here.

No, the TDK nose is definitely a little longer.

I seriously doubt that, its not possible, very funny.

same **** different day. lol

Where did I say it wasn't? LOL t:

I was merely touching upon the fact that the angle of the shot can have an influence on how we can perceive the facial features on the cowl.

Is that what I said? What I said was that he didn't look that way in the picture you posted, the implication being that the nose doesn't cause any such effect.

That said, the cowl size isn't the issue. It's not too big for his head. It's probably smaller than the Begins cowl, overall. The issue is that the neck, even smaller mouth, and possibly the shape of the head sometimes create illusions to the contrary.

I can definitly agree with you there Saint, thats one thing that does bother me more than anything else.
