The Batsuit Master Thread

That would have looked amazing next to Chris Reeve's Superman. But times have moved on, so has costume design and manufacturing techniques.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Exactly. I was thinking the same thing. Which is the reason I said it looks like it could've been used in a 70's or early 80's movie.

 

[regwec]

Yep, as I said, it wouldn't be right for a live action movie here and now, but it is a brilliant literal realisation of the classic comicbook design.

 

[Saint]

I wouldn't endorse them for a live action movie, but for a totally faithful interpretation of the classic comic book costumes, this fellow's attempt is superb:

Well, the cape is right, which is more than can be said for any other live action attempt to date.

 

[Boom]

That cape is beautiful.

 

[bunk]

Love that cowl. Little creeped out by the Robin.

 

[Lily Adler]

I was about to say Robin looks a little creepy.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

I think they both look a little off. They look lifeless.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Yeah no kidding, about the cape. Now that's the way it SHOULD be in the Nolan films.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I think they both look a little off. They look lifeless.

The Robin model is a statue.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Lmao they're both manikins.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Awesome costumes but yes, the Robin is super creepy.

 

[Lily Adler]

Is it just me or does he look even creepier the longer you look at the photo.

 

[Llama_Shepherd]

The Robin model is a statue.

They both are, but a lot of waxworks don't usually look like they've had their soul eaten. They make bunny cry.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Batman looks like he should be arrested standing next to robin there.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

One of those pictures has a real person in the Batman suit.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Yeah this one.

 

[DaveMoral]

All those images do for me is reaffirm that if you're going to do spandex or anything like spandex you need the actor to be supremely bulked up. Otherwise he's just going to look twiggy like Adam West. And that's never a good thing.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Clark Bartram (Batman Dead End) was the only person that looked good in a spandex Batsuit (no, not like that lol). Because of his mass.

[regwec]

I don't like it. It seems to have all of the problems of the Keaton/Kilmer/Clooney suits, but with the addition of really ugly gauntlets and horrid colour blocking with a chrome effect.

 

[Mister Meddle]

That's the Batman Live suit, right? Eh, I really dislike it. Just let go of the bulky rubber suits already.

 

[Majik1387]

No, that's not the Batman Live suit.

 

[TheDarkKnight83]

That is the Batman Live suit, just with the cowl changed. Either they changed suits or there's multiple suits since it's clearly not the metal looking version they first showed.

More like Robocop to me. That suit looks TOO bulky. Is that supposed to be the Batmobile?
