Robert Pattinson IS The Batman

[KGBANE]

I dig the suit! It sounded like the leak details from Matt earlier draft. I can't wait to see Batman in action with Catwoman!

 

[KGBANE]

Criminals by nature, are a cowardly and superstitious lot. They see anything like that coming for them In the dark and they'll be frightened. We know it's a man in a suit and we're seeing it from a focused lense from behind a screen but a guy wearing a bright green jumpsuit can be scary if he's hiding from you and taking your friends out one by one. The suit (which I love) is also objectively intimidating, for evil doers ya know.​

I agree Captain America and Daredevil don't look scary at all. Until you see them in action and coming nowhere!

As far as 1939 ears on the cowl goes, here's a David Mazzucchelli sketch from early on in the process of making Year One.

That top sketch is probably my favorite image of Batman ever. It just so perfectly demonstrates everything that the Batman is supposed to be like visually, invoking a more bat-like silhouette (he is, after all, the BATman) It would work perfectly in a noir-driven story. As for how to properly do them on-screen? Put these ears on the new cowl (positioned exactly the same and the exact same length):

Pattinson looks amazing in the suit.

I'm very pleased that David Mazzucchelli chose a more modernized suit -for its time- as Year One suit instead of going back to the very first suit.

I'm just waiting for people to eat that tasty crow when we see more of the suit.

It's easily the best live action batsuit since Begins (and first 15 minutes of TDK). And has potential to surpass it.

 

[B]

The Begins suit isn't even the best live action suit from Nolan's trilogy let alone the best live action batsuit altogether.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I didn't say it's the best. I said everything that came after is worse.

 

[B]

The batsuits from TDK & BvS were better.

 

[OutOfBoose]

The batsuits from TDK & BvS were better.

Nope. BvS - bland, fat, with short ears and ugly bat emblem. TDK - fragile frame, overdesigned.

How can one criticise the BvS suit for being bland when the Begins suit is literally boring matte black rubber from head to toe that had been done 4 times previously?? It also creased/folded anytime Bale moved more than an inch paired with a pair of dish washing gloves sprayed black.

I agree that TDK suit was kinda overdesigned, but I accept the reasoning behind it because they separated the plates for agility. But the Begins suit was just as busy, have you seen the torso? It's got lines everywhere mapping out full abs & ribcage.

This is the correct order of the more recent movie suits from worst to best, anything else is wrong:

Justice League (Standard) = Batman Begins > Justice League (Tactical) > The Dark Knight > Batman vs Superman

Someone else who loves TDK suit.

Nope. BvS - bland, fat, with short ears and ugly bat emblem. TDK - fragile frame, overdesigned.

I agree about the very short ears, unpleasant logo, and too thick suit.

Someone else who loves TDK suit.

I like TDK suit a lot, I can't remember if I liked or hated it when I first saw it but I do like it overall now. Lets get real, none of the suits are 'perfect', my favourite on screen suit is probably Affleck's BvS suit but I can still find a dozen things I didn't like about it.

I liked the JL Tactical suit as well, it was basically TDK suit on steroids but the shades absolutely killed it, they were a terrible design choice IMO.

Devil is in details. Batman Begins is a combination of various solutions. Ninja gear, military armor, Fox gadgetry, fabric cape, molded cowl. It's interesting up close and has great silhouette from afar. Sure it has some problems like rigidness and the neck, but overall it's interesting and for the most part tastefully done.

In case of begins all those lines are really subdued, they aren't that visible. In case of TDK suit it's hard to even call it armor, because it looks like a sieve. It's ugly with it's balloon head and chicken neck.

This is the correct order of the more recent movie suits from worst to best, anything else is wrong:

Justice League (Standard) = Batman Begins > Justice League (Tactical) > The Dark Knight > Batman vs Superman

Batman v Superman suit is just a bland fat muscle suit. This simplicity is great for a comic book page, but for live action it's just too uninspired.Also putting BB suit along with absolutely the worst batsuits from JL is wow... You lost me here.

And how can you praise TDK and at the same time hate B21 suit, when B21 looks like TDK done right (so far)?

The only thing interesting about the begins suit is the logic & reasoning behind it's development & how he put it all together. In terms of general design it's quite boring & given that it came after 4 other films with all black rubber suits, quite unimaginative.

In case of begins all those lines are really subdued, they aren't that visible. In case of TDK suit it's hard to even call it armor, because it looks like a sieve. It's ugly with it's balloon head and chicken neck.

Even though in the eyes of the film, TDK suit was supposedly less armoured, in reality I think TDK suit looks more like armour than the BB suit. The logo as well, I liked the logo on both TDK & BB suits although they differ

The neck was my biggest problem with the suit, especially coming from the BB suit because the neck for the cowl on that was like Brock Lesnar's neck. The logo's as well, on both BB & TDK suits the logo should have been different from their surroundings to make them pop a little more although I liked the design for both.. anything beats the BvS Batman logo.

Batman v Superman suit is just a bland fat muscle suit. This simplicity is great for a comic book page, but for live action it's just too uninspired.Also putting BB suit along with absolutely the worst batsuits from JL is wow... You lost me here.

The irony of calling the BvS suit uninspiring when it was literally the first meaningful step away from all black rubber after near 30 years.

And how can you praise TDK and at the same time hate B21 suit, when B21 looks like TDK done right (so far)?

Where have I said I hate the B21 suit?

Meaningful step away? What's so meaningful about it?

So you wanted to talk about Begins and BvS suits, even though they were mentioned only in context of some people disliking the reveal of B21?

 

[Zorro]

The only thing I disliked about the BvS suit was the bat symbol and it was a bit too bulky but the rest was perfect! I still prefer Burton's suits though because I love the black look there and admittedly for nostalgia

 

[TheJumpMan4523]

What on earth is the B21 suit? Lol ... I’m a hardcore Batman and Batman on Film fan yet have no clue what that stands for

The only thing I disliked about the BvS suit was the bat symbol and it was a bit too bulky but the rest was perfect! I still prefer Burton's suits though because I love the black look there and admittedly for nostalgia

Same ... if I’m ranking the looks of the suits, not real life function. I’m going

1) 89 (still takes the cake for me)
2) Begins / TDK
3) BvS
4) Returns
5) Forever (sans nipples would’ve been amazing)

I hated the JL suits. Especially the bulky one with the stupid Oakley sunglasses. The moment that reveal came I absolutely cringed. Never in my life been less enthused by a movie batsuit.

And those stupid Nite Owl wars ... just gross.

The Pattinson suit so far could be poised to be one of my absolute favorites.

B21 - Batman 2021.

It wasn't all black & it wasn't all rubber, that alone is a meaningful step. Also the fact that it incorporated some gray & fabric into the body getting it closer to the comic/animation/video game counterparts.

So you wanted to talk about Begins and BvS suits, even though they were mentioned only in context of some people disliking the reveal of B21?

Ah, so you assumed I didn't like it, you know what they say about assumptions don't you? I didn't want to talk about any of them, only to correct you on your claim that the Begins suit is the best of the more recent suits.

It's hard to like or even dislike the B21 suit simply because what have we seen? Really nothing. We don't even know what the ears look like.

 

[Invader Joker]

The Batfleck suit looked a lot like padded rubber. I never, not even for one second bought that it was supposed to be form fitting cloth.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Begins wasn't all rubber either. It had fabric cape. BvS returned to leather. Begins had metallic arm guard. BvS arm guard didn't even look like metal. And even it's "cloth" parts looked rubbery, only with texture. But the worst part - there's nothing interesting in it's concept. It's designed only to make the character look like a beef cake. Driven by desire of literal translation from comic book pages.

B21 also has leather cape, but the chest armor has cloth covering that actually looks like cloth.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Why am I seeing people say the B21 suit is fabric over armor?
