The Dark Knight Capes and Cowls - New Batsuit Discussion Thread

[SheldonLevene]

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.."

Lol I do that **** all the time.

I have real problems with the TDK suit, and looking at the milk ad has made them me more worried. The worst part is that a few minor changes would have made it at least a little more asthetically pleasing. Narrowing down the shoulder padding, and getting rid of a lot of the paneling on the legs and abdomen would have done it wonders.

This shot of the cowl looks good .

Sorry...I keep looking atthe milk ad and I still haven't warmed up to it this new suit yet.

the cowl is the thing that worries me the most because that's the MAIN part that you're going to notice anytime you look at Batman. I hope that Nolan picks the right angles. and i believe that he should go with another cosutme designer next time.

Isn't the costume designer the same one from BB?

Dude, that made my DAY!!!!

Heh heh.

By the way, did you just Photoshop out the text of the magazine cover, or is that the original picture?

 

[HUMANIMAL]

An exclusive omelette?

All part of a hearty, dark breakfast.

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'm with you on that - I've always thought this was the best pre-Nolan batsuit

"You can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs!"

[Boom]

I hate this suit.

I'm sorry, but hearing this from you so frankly just made me laugh.

They seem to really like the whole random fiery debris thing in these posters.

Pretty sure that's part of the main theme of chaos and anarchy. The logo is the same way.

Lol I like them too. Those do seem more random than the rest though.

Man, I don't know. I really love the new Got Milk? shot of the Batsuit. I think it looks great, and the legs are starting to grow on me. I love how protective the suit looks, but for the first time, it's not just a thick rubber suit with fake muscles. It actually looks like armor that can bend comfortably as each body part does, with very little restriction and no rubber creases.

I especially like the abdominal section, because for the first time, it appears Batman can bend his body properly. In Begins, the suit was so thick and stiff that when Batman was standing up, it always looked like he was throwing his chest back and standing straight up, especially in those infamous promotion pics with the white backgrounds. I'm also a fan of the cowl and cape attachment, which is infinitely better than the notches from Begins.

I agree with this post very much.

Best pic ever of this suit.

He just needs a subtler set of shoulder pads. They look too knightley and protrude too much.

I think Nolan have a lot of surprise for us about this suit...
