The Dark Knight Should they use the pouch belt for this movie

[darknight7]

I thought the clip at the abck was just to hold it. Anyway, it's confusing and needlessly complicated - the fact that it's not immediately obvious what's going on proves that.

Ya, the clip at the back holds the gun, and I guess the belt reels in the line...

haha...I guess it is just one of those: "leave it up to your imagination" ideas.

Oh I see my "pretzel logic"...except for the part where I DIDNT let Burton off the hook for doing the same, you ******. I said at least I understand WHY he did it unlike Nolan and that at least Burton had the sense to have only last 10 seconds.

Otherwise known as, letting Burton off the hook.

I'd only want a leather belt if they're going to make the costume more like the comics(tights)

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

I'm suprised people want the pouch really.

Really, the belt is probably the least major change made to the Batman costume design I think.

The reason I think it'll seem like a step back tech-wise is b/c our eyes tell us that metallic, clean cut steel gear looks more furistic...and more tech-savvy....than a leather pouch. Call it racism against pouches if you want, but that's the word on the street.

Well thats one of the major problems I had with all the tech for BB was that,spray painted or not, there were still scientists/technicians etc that had to have worked on all these things in the first place especially the Batmobile. I have a hard time believing it was all Morgan Freeman in a sub basement tinkering away for 20 years.
Woludnt someone recognize what they worked on suddenly appereing and being used on street crime as well as missing from Wayne tech?

Thats why it is more beleivable for Bruce to have come up with all this on his own. That is the POINT to a secret right?

Also the fact that it all seemed to James Bondish with Freeman playing Q.

 

[Shoemeister]

The Begins belt is perfectly fine.

Besides, rumor has it that it's actually made by Ronco.

I mean, come on. You just set it and forget it.

Can't go wrong.

 

[Retroman]

A debate about pouches on the belt. WB really needs to announce something soon.lol

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Well, the ONLY thing that saw the light of day was the Tumbler. Everything else, the armor (espeically now it's been sprayed all black looks like shadow of the armor almost)....the belt, the grappling gun......nobody's seen any of that.

The Tumbler could be written off as STOLEN or MISSING if you want. It was collecting dust in that basement, so nobody could really argue with that one.

Besides, Bruce has taken things from Wayne Enterprises in the comics as well. Things that might be considered more tracable, like electromagnetic weapons or the like.....so, Bruce taking things from his company, technology especially, is totally acceptable for us Bat-fans.

Yeah, for when you want some fried chicken on-the-go.

It's not that Bruce needed to make it all himself though. It just needed to be a bit more "off the shelf" and widely available. Still high-end, still expensive, but not so definitively and easily traceable to a single source.

Word.

Also *pets K.B. with a brick* what's important here, honey, is that you really believe what you said. You're answer didn't make any damn sense of course...

The reason I think it'll seem like a step back tech-wise is b/c our eyes tell us that metallic, clean cut steel gear looks more futuristic...and more tech-savvy....than a leather pouch.

Which is why I think it's shiit ^. As I said before, pouches would've been more effective than five Lucius Fox speeches all together. The audience will see 'realism' straight of the bat (ha!) which is what Nolan went to lengths to achieve (btw if you're about to start on how BB isn't so realistic after all...please, spare us).

The BB belt is slightly inconsistent with the movies internal reality. Nolan demonstrates how a man can glide using memory cloth and explains why the military don't use nomex suits and why the Tumblwer was designed the way it is blah blah blah, and then we're just expected to believe that Batman can carry all his stuff in what is basically a garter belt.

Pouches will make Batman look more lethal, resourceful and generally all round badass, Like when you see a SWAT guy or one of those mental riot cops carrying a mini arsenal, you don't wanna mess them.

Lujho is spot on about the whole 'going backwards' arguement..what a load of lazy, ignorant bunk that is! Likewise for the 'it limits agility ' excuse.

Can someone tell me how pouches are a step back in technology? Small metal box... larger fabric pouch... one of these is technologically advanced over the other?

Just because a belt has pouches doesnt mean it has to be less advanced than the one we saw in Begins. It's just a bigger container attached to it, for goodness sake.

No-one's saying give him a piece of mediaeval-era equipment.
What I find most odd about the opposition to a more ordinary utility belt is that it's exactly the kind of thing real life crimefighters, soldiers etc actually wear. They wear them because they're practical and hold all the stuff they need.

I don't see why everything Batman uses has to look like it was designed specifically to look cool and slick for a movie, like it was precision made by a team of German engineers or machine-tooled or came out of a mould. It just seems so overly artificial.
