The Dark Knight New Batman-look manips.

[Edd Extraordinaire]

ooo!! i like the suit as is, but i think if they're going to make any changes it should look more like this.

and yes, i made this with paint, but you get the general idea of what i'm wanting.
haaahaha!
i think the only thing that should be worked on is his maneuverability in it.

Nice. Looks almost like it's straight outta Year One.

 

[Cobblepot]

Explain?

 

[Cobblepot]

You like the Codpiece he's wearing now?

 

[Carmine Falcone]

It's not like it's a cup that sticks out. The codpiece he has works. The underwear look does not and most probably will never work live onscreen.

Batman should have ''The Russian'' codpiece from Blackadder.

 

[Cobblepot]

How do you know that for sure?
We're not going to see a close-up crotch shot, arent we?

Superman has it.
Hell even David Hasselhoff wore it in Baywatch...

 

[Cobblepot]

Who said it needs to be cloth?
They could give him sort of sculpted undies.
I didn't change much on this suit, just blackend a lot out.
I don't want to see lenses, but I would like to see a shot where the nod a bit towards the white eyes.

Figured I'd repost the blurb that started this:

Costume Change?
Author: Jett
Friday, August 11, 2006 - 9:57 AM CENTRAL TIME: Got this in a few days ago, and after verifying this insider does what he says he does, I decided to post it for all you BOF‘ers --
“Greetings BOF! Love the site!
I thought this bit of news may be of interest to you and your readers. I work in the UK...and would be considered as being part of the ‘crew' [on a film]. What I’ve heard rumoured is that the new Batman costume may be altered a bit. The appearance will not change dramatically, but will be lighter and sleeker than the one in ‘Batman Begins.’ It may also be constructed to look more like heavyweight fabric and armour than rubber. I shall let you know if I hear more.
If you use this, call me '007.'”
Hmm. Interesting. While I loved the BEGINS costume, I could go for a few sublte changes... It looks like Chris Nolan is already lining up his project after THE DARK KNIGHT. According to IESB.NET, Nolan is looking to helm a film based on the classic British TV show THE PRISONER...

i can't tell if that's a good or bad "sonofa*****"...

[Superwoman Prime]

Very nice. I like this.

We got that in Begins. Remember when he left Ra's al Ghul to die, his eyes rolled back a bit and all you saw was white, before he flew backwards out of the train.

 

[Mr.Wednesday]

I think this is great... He could still wear an armour, But make it look more simple like its on this image... The lenses in the eyes works good on pics like this... Not in the movie... and I like the head... I hate some pics from Batman Begins that he looks bigheaded... Overall I like it a lot...

I thought that was weird how his eyes went white in that scene but not anywhere else.

Yeah but that's not what I ment.
I ment something like this:

Batman drops down on the hood of a car, BOOM!
His cape like a living being falling behind him.
Slowly we see his head turning upwards, looking at the viewer.
Then we get a glimse of the classic white eyes.

(he doesn't have to wear lenses, could just be your imagination playing tricks)

 

[Matt.S99]

lol have someone get sprayed with fear gas and there fear is ppl with white eyes lol jk :P

Here is my version of an updated costume for Dark Knight Returns.
Maybe you will like it, maybe you won't...
Same basic costume, except the cowl is more streamlined and his ears are a bit shorter to the head. His cape is attached to the suit a bit differently and the suit is darker with a few dark accents to it.

Pretty good with the subtle changes - however I prefer the cape attachment from 'Begins' as it seems more practical since it would be easy to remove in case it's caught in someting.

I like the head though - I thought the 'Begins' cowl looked big and bulbous in some shots (like when he was running through Arkham before he drove Rachel back to the cave)

here's alil something I did, on some simple changes, nothing I'd would say has to be on the new look, just thought, I’d give a try at altering it alil

Thank you for sharing this with us! It looks very nice.

----------------

Just a general note (about the new suit in general), one adjustment I think needs to be made, is the length of the ears. Wouldn't it be nice if they were a few inches longer?

 

[Rob-b]

Hey No problem, enjoyed making it. Time is a limited commodity for me right now... but thinking about doing a line of them, already did a Harley Quinn, thinking about a Joker Ledger, (or a Crispin Glover) maybe a Dent Poster as well... well see....

[Rob-b]

I'll think anbout the Ears though...
