Batman Begins I hate batman begin costume

[Man Who Laughed]

The reason I never liked the blue that much is because it seems like it was an accident. They used to use blue to highlight the black on Bats' costume, and eventually he was just all blue. Just seems like one day they accidentally reversed the colors and said, "Oh, let's stick with that."

Possibly, although it was probably purposefully done in their attempt to lighten up Batman. Remember, of all the comics hit by the comic code authority, Batman really got hit the hardest in terms of the changes they were forced to make.

Congratulations ANTOINE X. I checked your work on your site and is awesome. Back on topic, all this trend of the rubber suit from the movies and all, and I think is better that the movie look that way.

I mean, I could not take Wolverine that serious if he had his yellow leotard in the X-Men movies. I am not saying that I don´t like it because I do. Mostly because I know the source material, but most people don´t. So, in movie terms I think a more realistic suit is more adecuated.

Realism is needed, I agree, however it's a movie and movie makers can make anything seem realistic. The rubber costumes won't help a person in our world but we're made to believe it will help Batman in his. If we are already bending our belief system then why not write a story that has a better looking more accurate Batman costume be the reaslistic protection that people are concerned about? Pur the armor under the costume that way you get realism and Batman at the same time. Rubber doesn't mean realism anymore, it means they couldn't come up with somthing better for the eighth Batman movie and only felt like redisigning what's already been done. Last time I checked doing something over and over again does not mean a new start.

Maybe we see the suit as rubber, but is not intended to be rubber (at least in begins). We do see the armor in the scene with Lucius Fox. Bruce just painted it black and added the Bat insignia.

In movie terms, I don´t think a more accurate suit would work. Cause Batman is supposed to blend with a dark atmosphere, and if his suit was a different color, then the ilussion would fade.

Don´t know, maybe it would work with a suit similar to what Matthew Allison posted before (by the way it looks great congratulations). I guess I´ll never know.

It's not supposed to be rubber it's supposed to be some protective material, for that matter the previous six/seven suits were too. The point is though that it is rubber and this time around an overly detailed rubber suit. As for the color a dark colored suit with black where it's supposed to be will still allow him to be in the shadows. My major gripe is nothing but rubber was used again but this time someone got artistic rather than accurate. Tone down the suit's outer design, put the armor underneath, and put a dark grey and black costume over that.

Ok I think I finally understand you. I don´t have problem with de design or materials the suit is made of, I think it would look strange, to me at least, if he had a costume over the armor like you suggested. It would look like Superman (Don´t get me wrong, I like the traditional costume like everyone (or not) else. But this is a movie)

Yep. That why they did some of the most silliest thing ever with making Batman's costume in rainbow colors or the Zebra look.

The armor under the costume was only a suggestion, it doesn't have to be that way. I only mentioned it because I was trying to appease those who want the armor and those that want accuracy. I'm open to ideas as long as it's not rubber again for the eighth time. As long as the costume makes Batman look human rather than robotic and the costume is two-toned I would start to be happy. The Snake Eyes costume looks very promising by the way for an idea. I realize it's a movie but that doesn't mean the costume should go farther and farther away from what Batman really looks like. There are other superhero movies, even ones where the character has no superpowers, where the costume looks closer than the Begins or TDK ones ever did. Being realistic doesn't mean an accurate costume cannot be done it just means it has not been done. A good movie script and director can make anything happen.

Wait, I remember reading that Bruce painted the armor with the rubber material so he could reduce the amount of body heat he gave off. This way, he can't be seen with thermal goggles either. Just thought I'd throw that in there. That's why his costume is rubber in BB.

That's a decent thought. Here's another, the reason it's rubber, again for the eighth time, is because the director and creators lacked creativity, the director and creators think their vision is better than 70 years of source material, or it might sell better when Hasbro or Mattel make the toys.

 

[BlueLightning]

Maybe it is the way it looks. The begins suit looks like an armor. I can´t imagine another way for Batman to look on screen. Look at the Adam West suit, that suit is more comic book accurate, but certainly doesn´t look secure.

In my opinion, Batman always should have armor in films.

It makes it more realistic. And I just don't think anything else would work on film.

I'm not against armor of some sorts but it's the way it's been done. The same thing every time where the design of the costume is handeld more than than what the costume should look like is just wrong. Have armor but also make it adaptable with what is accurate looking too. Under armor would work perfect because then you could put a more comic looking costume over that. There is a way to make it realistic and still Batman but that hasn't been looked into yet which again is wrong.

I think one of the most telling moments in the film, and it got a chuckle out of me, was when Batman's on top of Ras in the train, and he has to practically throw his entire upper body just to chuck that batarang.

I won't kill you -

HEAVE

- but I don't have to save you.

That's another thing, all these rubber suits, as light as the Begins and TDK ones are supposed to be, are not light at all. They're bulky, heavy, don't bend or wrinkle well, and would be more of a hinderance than an asset. For once, it would be good to see something other than rubber on a suit.

I think follow the comics has great value to it, but if they find a reasonable way to make it stick, then go for it, just be ready to defend it. I would have perfered they keep the original logo, but they didn't, and unfortunetly I have to live with it. I like they went that route with the light weight armor tho, looks like he was thinking of intimidating the bad guys.

To me it looks like he's trying to be the poster boy for a jigsaw puzzle or a geometry text book. Light weight is better than heavy rubber, however the TDK suit is still rubber and I'm sure it's heavier than an under armor suit and costume would be. You said you wished they kept the old symbol, I agree with you, but it really doesn't matter what symbol they use this time around, it's the same color as it's background and it's hidden within that plate across his chest. It's horrible in my opinion.

As much as I adore the outfit, Batman doesn't usually roll during daytime.

I know that but I wanted to show that even in day light his costume still kick ass!

If I can do that Imagine what WB can do with $175M budget and 20 artists working on a Grey& black costume. And if they still have problem they can give me a call anytime. .

Yeah it seems like nowadays people tend to over-do certain details. Sometimes its good, and other times it ends up looking like garbage. Alot of the time I find a simple approach to a senerio winds with good results, not always tho. Lord of the Rings, and Batman Begins' plot for example.

I agree that not all comics book character are made for the big screen but batman costume to me had no reason to be change that much. I mean honestly when you see this the only thing that remains from Batman is the head nothing else! the rest of the body can belong to any android or robot from any movie. Whit out the head you can't say thats Batman!
