The Dark Knight Capes and Cowls - New Batsuit Discussion Thread

[Figs]

Where can you get copies of Empire magazine? Is this one in the States or only out of?

It's too busy. And for some reason it reminds me of the 'Batman Forver' suit. But that might just be the lighting.

Batman Begins was an awesome movie, as I'm sure TDK will be. That being said...Keaton has had the best Batsuit to date. The only drawback to that suit, like many other suits was that he couldn't turn his head very well. The new suit is absolutely horrible. Might as well paint it red and gold and call him the Iron Bat.
Batman does not look like a Special Forces Soldier wearing bat ears!!

In terms of designs, aside from the damn stupid nipples, the Schumacher's deepest fantasy codpeice, and the belt, this suit was actually not a bad streamlining of the previous designs from 89 and Returns. I hate Batman Forever but there are some shots where this particular suit really worked IMO.

I think the TDK suit would look a little better if the legs didn't have all those breaks and if you couldn't see all the the connective stripes that hold the ab armor plates. But other that that the colors are fantastic, his head and neck don't look ridiculous, and his torso is properly proportional to his arms, legs and head. All in all this pic is much better than this:

Im not a hater of the film at all, and do admit though the BF suit was really good and I liked it alot in alot of shots, aside from the nipples which I hardly ever noticed anyways.

You must be blind. The BF suit is just a prettier and imrpoved B89 suit.

 

[I am Batman]

The only thing I like about that suit is that the ears actually point straight up, unlike the Begins and TDK ears which curve in. I never did like that.

Oh and I also like the larger mouth hole.

I admit Bats looks pretty skinny in that got milk ad!!

As if...

I like the new suit... but as said. The bottom half is too busy.

Indeed he does.

He does but I think in the end when we finaly see him in action it will look better than the begins suit in terms of being sleeker more agile and lighter looking. Plus He will be able to be more fluid and graceful in movement even if the suit's robotic design doesn't look agile or light.

And by "prettier" do mean with the additions of nipples? t:

Well the brown hue gave it a BTAS feel. Just a bit.
This is so much colder and serious. Brrr....

But i love those little details!

Yeah probably. Poor batman!

I kind of thought of the brown as having the BTAS feel as well. The blue washout seems to work pretty well for this one as well. I assumed the brown/orange was because of the use of the scarecrow as the villain and the nods to The Long Halloween.

Neither the brown or blue will ever strike me as much as the red of BTAS though. That sky was just flat out blood red and I loved it. I am not saying the film should imitate that, it most likely wouldn't work in film, but I did love that look.

Hey guys, I've been looking at the pictures we have so far, and I find it frustrating that the belt seems to barely have any pouches. But at least it has some, unlike previous bat flicks, but don't you think the belt could be portrayed... as being more fully equipped? Like in most if not all comic books?
There doesn't seem to be anything on there!
What do you guys think? what would you change about this, if anything?

 

[The Guard]

I hate this suit.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

the nipple talk will never end!

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

why does Batman's head look bigger then his body?

In the got milk? ad his head seems to be a pefrect fit for the suit.

It's almost like the designers sent away for the new Batsuit. Then when it showed up without directions, they said f*** it and put it together anyway. "It doesn't look like the box.."

I don't completely agree but that is pretty f***ing funny, meaning there is at least some truth to it.
