Batman Begins I hate batman begin costume

[MacLeod]

They weren't that short. Heck, they were considerably longer than that statue you just said was perfect.

Something on a statue and something in real life are two different things. I've seen statues and pictures where the ears are almost non-existant but the rest of the look makes up for it. Since I was completely unimpressed with the Begins suit the ears only added to my distaste. Maybe writing that they were short was a bit premature, they are shorter than I would like, but added with with the way they are angled on the Begins mask makes me really not like them. Since the ears are what you mentioned I would be more than happy to overlook them if something on the rest of the costume appealed to me. However, since nothing else does the ears just become part of the list of complaints.

I really like the look of the Batman begins costume especially in this pic...t:

Very meanacing looking!!

The only bad point is the fact that there is apparently no scallops on the cape.

Yeah is manacing but the problems is that s not Batman thats Darth Vader

 

[Mr. Socko]

I missed the scallops on the cape as well, but it wasn't a big problem.

Yeah - you never really notice the lack of scallops in the movie...

and i suppose they are there when the wings become rigid and span out so its fine

I wouldn't have minded if they kept the grey but done everything else black or a really dark blue.

OoOoO not really a fan of that...

If they want to go the grey approach then they should do it without the rubber cause it doesn't look right! (good job though, it just wouldn't have fitted in this movie... perhaps JLA)

I don't know if that color scheme would fit in any movie. Don't get me wrong, I applaud your attempt to make it accurate, I just think it's a little too blue and too light grey for a mean look. Also, for some reason it makes the suit stand out and I hate the Begins suit so it's turning me off. However, I would have rather seen your design than what was in the movie, at least with yours it resembles the character that was developed and stayed the same for 70 years. And you got rid of the cape clips, bravo. All I can say is I pray the Justice League gets it right because Begins and TDK in my opinion got it very, very wrong.

 

[MacLeod]

This one looked like Darth Vader and TDK looks like the Green Goblin and Robocop had a child. When will we get a Batman costume that actually looks like Batman?

The reason I m really frustrated and why I did this thread is that I m 100% sure that nolan view is Bulls*** the reason they did Batman andcbatman beggins costume and tdk is to acomadate the toys industry. Its an agreement between those 2 that s it. they don't give a f*** about the comics

I have no doubt that you're right. Sadly though it's fans like us that want a Batman movie where the main character, Batman, actually looks like what he's supposed to look like, Batman. I give no praise to Nolan, in my opinion he screwed more things up than he got right, the costume is just one of my gripes.

That "Batman & Robin", not BB & TDK. If they don't give a fudge about the comics, the movie wouldn't get praise from millions of hardcore Batman fans then. This is a movie, not the comics. You aren't going to get everything what you want.


And this is Batman?

I thought this is Batman.

Or this one.

Will the real Batman please stand up??

And actually, Batman in Batman Begins is Batman himself too you know.

I'm confused, not only do I not understand your point, every picture you showed only proves the fact that the Begins and the TDK suit's look nothing like what Batman really is. As for numbers, most people think Jim Lee's work is amazing and should be what Batman looks like which would go against you questioning if that is Batman. True, B&R were for profit only but if Nolan is supposed to be this great reinventor then why is there a 7th rubber suit instead of something new and unique or closer to the source material? Also, people are easily persuaded when they see something new, add that to what people remember of Schumacher and anything is better. Begins was closer to what a Batman story should be true, but that doesn't mean it's great, if peope liked it that's fine but there are many who find fault in many things, the suit is just one of them. Besides, numbers and profit do not make a Batman movie, Batman makes a Batman movie and in my opinion Batman wasn't in Begins at all. I really didn't get anything I wanted out of Begins, I already know TDK is going to let me down, so it's not about getting everything, I just want something that represents Batman.

 

[Mladen]

this one could be a compromise of the 2 costumes. darker color with a thick cloth for those who are worried about safety.

this outfit works fine on a comics page, but there is no physical way to have that put on a real actor. For the suit to show off that much muscle definition, he'd have to be vacuum packed into it. Those boots also look really... whats the opposite of functional?

The BB & TDK suit look nothing like what Batman really is? I thought the suits represent Batman, since both has the cowl (with ears of course), cape, gauntlets, etc. Yep, BB & TDK does represent Batman. Hating the look don't mean it doesn't represent Batman or look nothing like him. BB & TDK costumes is just like the comics: different design & look for Batman while still keeping certain important element of the costume that scream Batman.

As for numbers, most people think Jim Lee's work is amazing and should be what Batman looks like which would go against you questioning if that is Batman.

I may not want the Jim Lee's Batman look in the movie, but even if they went with it I wouldn't say it's not Batman. It's Batman as long his costume is dark & it has the cape, cowl, etc.

Besides, numbers and profit do not make a Batman movie, Batman makes a Batman movie and in my opinion Batman wasn't in Begins at all.

So because his costume doesn't have any of the same look as the comic, it's not Batman at all? Especially when his name is Batman, act like one, fight crime, etc.? That silly. The suit isn't Batman: it Batman himself is what he is, not the suit. No matter what the suit look like, it's always Batman as long he has the cape, cowl, & others. Not because the suit isn't what some wanted from the comics.

I really didn't get anything I wanted out of Begins, I already know TDK is going to let me down, so it's not about getting everything, I just want something that represents Batman.

Why you're still posting on the BB & TDK forum if you're not happy with them and think it's not a Batman films at all?

And both films do represent Batman. They both show him wearing the costumes that can make anyone know it's Batman, right? Why on earth does hating the costume mean it isn't Batman? Especially when it is Batman. That don't make sense there. It seem like you don't care about the story. Just the costume, when the story is more important first.

Something like that made out of $100,000 neoprene material instead of normal spandex would be masterful!

 

[Mr. Socko]

That design looks so much ****tier close up

I'm gonna keel j00.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Never liked the dead end costume - it tries way to hard and ends up looking flat and lifeless.

the cowls the worst part of the whole thing - clunky shape and boring design.

I'd take 'begins' suit anyday

I post here because the title of this forum is "I hate the Batman Begins costume" where would you like me to post complaints in the "I love the Begins costume?" I care very much about the story and I don't like that much either but again the forum we're in now is only about a costume so I stick to that. Your defense is only it's Batman because it's Batman and therefore it's Batman. Sorry, but having ears and a cape and calling oneself Batman doesn't make someone Batman. Halloween costumes that 5 year olds wear are Batman suits but that doesn't mean we want that on screen either. Adam West was Batman too and not many people consider that good either. Now, if you like the suit fine, I don't though because I feel like the creators of the movie took too much discretion and created something that doesn't look like Batman(look like him because we're in a costume thread here). Even the attributes you mentioned, ears, cape, arm fins, etc. dont' look good in my opinion. I really don't like anything about the costume which is my choice to do in this thread. Granted, the actor makes the Batman but I would like a suit that fits the actions of Batman as well, again which is why I'm in the hating the Begins suit thread. There are things I don't like about the movie, there are things I do like, very little in comparison but they are there. The suit is too robotic looking and it's rubber, again for the 7th time. TDK looks like the Green Goblin and Robocop had a love child. There is a very simple way to get a comic accurate costume and make it look good, add under armor under a Batman costume. That would give the muscular look, the realism of protection, and a real Batman look. Every other superhero movie does it for looks Batman could do it for realism.

So what you're saying here is that wearing the suit makes him Batman but previously you said the man makes him Batman. If it is truly both than in my opinion he's missinig something because the suit is not Batman to me, it's police riot gear with ears.

I agree with your complaint about the cowl, it wasn't very impressive. However, I do like the rest of it, to me it was Batman hands down. Clark Bartman was big enough to fill out the suit nicely, the same look can be achieved with under armor for those that are not as physically fit. I would take the Dead End costume, and the cowl, over anything Begins has to offer. At leat the Dead End costume is a Batman related suit, the Begins one is just another rubberized robot looking costume.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I didn't really like Dead End, I just thought the look of Batman was damn good.

Man you're whineyt:
The Begins suit is better than any of the previous bat suits combined.
Nuff said!

 

[Mr. Socko]

From all of the movies, The BR suit is my favorite. The others are just meh, or ok.

To each his own, however that picture makes me hate it more. Maybe I'm the type of guy, without whinning, that appreciates the fact the Batman costume is a certain look and has been for many years. Even when the costume was drawn or mentioned different in the comics it still looked similar to its previous incarnations. I never saw a Robot looking rubber suit as the everyday suit for Batman. The only time a Begins suit would have worked or I would have been ok with it is when Mattel made it and called it Riot Gear Batman or S&M Batman. See, that's why everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, it's all up to what you like. I like Batman, not this robotic rubberized form that is pretending to be Batman, however I can state my opinion without saying it's fact.
