Thank you.

What? YOUR personal preferences?

 

[MahvelBaby!]

From what I can make out in the video of the new suit...I freaking LOVE it

 

[MahvelBaby!]

I'm particularly fond of the jaw area of the cowl.

 

[BoredGuy]

I like it, though the teched out bat-symbol does nothing for me
I prefer the less armored bat designs, but this looks good, and the collar around the neck should finally give him actual, full head movement

Another thing that reminded me of Rogue One is the red aesthetic from Vader’s massacre. The film’s cinematographer Greg Fraser, is also doing cinematography for The Batman.



And I’m done comparing SW to Batman now!

First impression.... looks like that costume belongs next to TVs Flash... Several steps down from Snyder/Wilkinson costume design and quality. IMO.
Skrawny lookin Batman so far.
I have a bad feeling... ; )

fingers crossed.

Doesn't look ANYTHING like it belongs next to the TV Flash.

And just because it's different from the previous version doesn't mean it's a step down.

We need a full reveal ASAP just so people can stop jumping to hyperbolic statements that we haven't even seen enough to be making yet.

We've literally seen Batman's TV CW costume and it looks 100% worse than this.

We seriously need a better look at the cowl. It's leaving too much to the imagination and people just assume the worst. We need to see those damn ears to see how it all balances out.

I LOVE Nolan's Batman the most, and then Michael Keaton's, and while I really don't care for Snyder's Batman, he has his fanbase. I wish the Snyder fans would stop turning it into a contest.

Besides we all know that the BTAS fans win that contest with their hands tied behind their back.

I do kind of wish the symbol was simpler looking.

AMAZING

Oh lawd!

Comic con in 5 months

If it’s true the Batmobile will be filming outside in Glasgow, I think we’ll get an official picture/video in the next week.

 

[MovieSlave]

I have to say it truly is idiotic for them not to show the ears. Like there is legit no reason to keep them a secret. It's slight trolling or messing with the fans and the outcome is expected looking at how many people are seemingly "worried". lol

 

[TheJumpMan4523]

AMAZING

Thank you, my new wallpaper

[Zorro]

AMAZING

Amazing indeed. It makes a big difference

 

[Spider-Fan83]

The symbol looks like 2 pocket/boxcutter knifes... i kinda hope at some point he pulls them off to use as throwing dagger

The Subtle Clues in 'The Batman' First-Look

Before we even get to the suit, let’s talk about red lighting of the footage. Red isn’t a color commonly associated with Batman, and one would think that blue, or black and white would make more sense for the costume reveal. But the red doesn’t seem incidental, and despite online chatter, it doesn’t seem like Reeves is cribbing from Daredevil either. Rather, it may suggest the mood of Pattinson’s Batman and the tone of the film. Co-star Peter Sarsgaard told SiriusXM radio last week that this version of Batman “is not sanitized.” And went on describe the “raw power” and “raw emotionality” of the film and the character. Red is, after all, the color of both passion and bloodlust. Considering that this iteration of Batman is rumored to be early in his career, around Year two if The Long Halloween influences reach that far, then it would make sense that we’re looking at a Batman who is still hurting, still learning how to process his grief.

While this doesn’t mean we’ll necessarily see a murderous Batman, which has been a common element across his film history despite the comics trending away from that behavior since his early days, we could see a Batman who isn’t the man in control that we’ve become used to seeing.

How are people looking at the chest and shoulders and saying ohhh that looks like some cheap CW ****. It looks handmade yes but it also looks gorgeous to me. Oscar winning costume designers and you think this looks like a tv show cosplay? Huh? You know, it could be low budget, handmade and still be beautiful. It’s always extremes with huge fanbases.
