That's hideous.

That's hideous.

That was posted almost two years ago, it took you this long to dislike it? Just kidding, however I have to disagree a little. Other than the mask and the fact that it looks like a small, yet physically fit, person under the costume I would rather see something like this any day compared to anything that resembles another rubber looks Begins suit or whatever the hell the Robocop/Green Goblin Dark Knight costume was supposed to be. At the very least they could have painted this color scheme on the Begins costume. For the TDK one, my only suggestion is to just burn it or give it to some high tech. sci-fi movie.

 

[Chris Wallace]

I still think it's hideous.

 

[Majik1387]

That's because it's still hideous.

Agreed. Worst Batman costume ever...

 

[Mutagen]

The nose is pretty original.

Way Better than TDK and begin costume.

 

[Majik1387]

Not at all

How so?

[Majik1387]

That's still better than the ugly ass rendering.

Ya know, ya don't like TDK suit. Or any of the live action costumes, even. Ok. Whatever. I've made peace with that. I don't think they're perfect, by any means. But when you say that retina burning art is more aesthetically pleasing than what we got in any of the movies...I just have to say you're crazy. That is hideous...good lord.
:facepalm

Look at it, it's got the shape of a bat nose, it awesome!

For the one million th time. I said the nose and the ears have to be corrected but other than that this is batman. Now don't tell me that this costume look less like batman than the TDK! This is almost the same as the comic book costume! I mean if that's hideous than the comic book costume is hideous!

You can swap out that whole cowl and it's still disgusting.

The comic book costume is not hideous because of this defecation. By your logic they should use these in the films:

Hey...they're all extremely faithful to the source material. They must be awesome! At least they're better than TDK...right?

The traditional costume is only as good as the artist who's drawing it or the designer who brings it to life. There's not a whole lot of those artists and so far no live-action designer has done anytthing worthwhile.

Dead End is the best literal adaptation thus far and, while impressive for what it was, it was still a joke.

I don't think the movie suits are perfect, but they're a hell of a lot better than most of the crap I've seen around.

And neither of them look less Batman, btw. Why a two-tone color scheme and cloth is the biggest definition of Batman's look to most of you people in this thread is beyond me. You can have it your way. I like the comic costume, too.

Right where it is. It looks like ass anytime anybody has attempted to do it in reality,

It's amazing how people don't get it. Somehow black rubber and pasted on geometric pieces represent Batman and a grey and black/blue suit where the emblem is actually visible does not. How silly you and I must be to actually look at a two-toned costume that looks almost identical to the comic book version and see Batman. We apparently should only be looking at what six movies think Batman is, more specifically, we should only think Batman can be created in the same realm of Robocop, The Green Goblin, and a Riot Gear Police Officer that is painted all black with the map of England on its legs and a man-bra on its chest. Wow, we must be way off base to think that Batman should look like Batman for once and not like some amalgamation of something else that is constantly in black rubber that gets more and more like armor instead of human looking every movie. As you can tell I think Batman should look like something other than what we got in Begins and TDK, and to be more bold I think the TDK suit is the worst costume in any movie for any genre. Now, the above computer rendering has it's flaws, mostly with the mask, but all in all the rest of the suit is spot on. I don't like it because it's cloth or spandex material, I like it because it's two-toned, it has a symbol that is visible, it has real gloves and real boots that look like Batman not armor man, the cape comes from the mask not attached to clips or coming through some geometric design by the neck, and more importantly it doesn't have football shoulder pads or S&M straps all over the place. If you put armor under this suit for protection, because apparently that's what makes some people believe in Batman now a days, the costume could work fine, it would be more muscular looking and amored. If the storyline was changed just a tad to think of something other than rubber for once than this or ANY OTHER COSTUME IDEA COULD WORK.

That one with the black guy's not too bad ^^t:

 

[MacLeod]

Here's a start. It's a traditional costume with obvious amor underneath. Now, before people start ripping this apart his is just a thought, anything like this idea could and should have been accomplished by now rather than going with black rubber for the eighth time .

 

[MacLeod]

bump

 

[Mutagen]

Looks a lot better when he cares about being stabbed, that's for sure.

 

[MacLeod]

I still can't get over how much this would work. I didn't create it so I'm not bragging, but this idea makes the crappy pasted on TDK plates look like muscles while the rest of the costume looks like Batman. You can even change the gloves and mask/cape to black and it would still be great. He's protected by the fake armored rubber so all the uber-realistic fans will be happy while still keeping the feel of Batman in a Batman costume. Find a way to not have four different segregated neck pieces and a cape that comes out of the mask instead of geometric puzzle pieces and I'm sold. A miniscule story change could have made this or any idea other than rubber possible. Even with the present story line something could be stated on why something like this is necessary or better. That's what movie makers get paid for, to make the unbelievable or un-necessary believable, not redo what has been done six times prior which is the only thing that has been done. Improving on an already existing idea is not as creative as actually coming up with something that is new and character accurate.

It looks great. Probably the best photoshop pic of Batman I have seen. But it looks like it would belong more in a film with a tone like Spiderman or Iron Man. Not to say that is a bad thing. If Nolan went down the route of making a more comic-book style Batman, this suit would have been perfect. But the current suit with the armour makes more sense for the tone he has set.

And ultimately, so long as Batman's suit has the fundamentals, that's all that matters. That is, it has the cape, cowl, gauntlet, boots, utility belt etc. The fact that it isn't two-toned and muscular is irrelevant to me. It may be a critical factor for you Macleod but you need to understand that other people don't see it that way. And, quite frankly, the fact that the whole two-toned look was designed in the comics to look better in print means that isn't much rationale behind the original design anyway. So I don't see the need to follow tradition just for the sake of following tradition. What's wrong with making changes?

Blimey. That costume is revolting. It looks like some weird s & m, fetish gear or something. The leather, the massive buckle, the creases, the prominent zippers, the massive belt, ears, etc. It's all overkill and strangely sickening. I would walk out of a Batman film if the suit looked like that, no kidding.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Way Better than TDK and begin costume.

No, not ATALL.

I still don't understand how this argument is going on. Whats done is done, I think the begins costume looks pretty cool. And more importantly it was explained. It was a battle suit created by Wayne Industries, Bruce Wayne decided to use it. Simple. How could gray pjs with black underwear on the outside be explained in this particular Bat-verse? It couldn't, he would look stupid.

You don't seem to get it. Sometimes things have to be adapted from the source material to look right on screen. The traditional grey and black costume wouldn't look right in these particular movies. How is that hard to understand?

If when Nolan is done they make a new franchise, a more stylized franchise in the mould of Sin City or something, then I will be all for a more accurate representation of the costume. But in these films, Nolans films, it just wouldn't look right.

Both the costumes in the Nolan films are explained, they have a real purpose. What purpose does a grey jump suit with black underwear on the outside have?
