You're off the mark here. This design hardly shares any similarities with TDK suit. Yes, there are lines in this design suggestive of armor, but nothing close to the "puzzle problems" you mentioned or the overly complicated design of TDK suit. There's also clearly a two-tone/black-grey color scheme to this design, but everything has a shine to it simply because of the way the image has been rendered (it looks somewhat computerized).
More things that separate this from the TDK suit would be the connected cape and cowl, bigger and more noticeable symbol (as you mentioned), and while this design is suggestive of Batman wearing armor, it is clearly form-fitting to his body, unlike TDK suit. I think this would be a great start for a traditional Batsuit that doesn't look flimsy.
It's the New 52 suit, btw.
I'm beginning to think you just like baiting me, Shape...
1) The lines on this suit do not imply armor, at least not to me, and as I said originally, to a lesser degree than the TDK suit. They apply aesthetics of "lines" - please see included picture. To me, especially the shoulder region is indicative of "more lines!" rather than thought out armor, so I'd say the puzzle problem is just as bad.
2) I said that it had a two-tone design... barely. And if you count the lines, it's a 3-tone design.
3) If you're going to defend the look of this shiny suit because it's a computer rendering, and it's supposed to look not-shiny, we can defend the look of TDK suit for looking rubbery because it's rubber, but "supposed" to look non-rubbery.
Having seen TDK suit made out of leather and carbon weave materials, I can definitely say that the design looks WAY better when it's not made out of rubber.
4) Speaking of rubber and flimsiness, did you notice the way this suit bends and contorts, particularly in the belly area? One of the things we all complain about so much with TDK suit is the rubber-bendiness. Computer shine aside, that suit bends in the same way as TDK's, and that's a big problem to me. In fact, I've never seen a shot of TDK suit bending in the abdomen region like that.
5) I don't think the suit is any more form-fitting to Batman than TDK's suit. I see it more as a sculpted piece, ala the 89 suit which I think is a big downgrade (unless you're suggesting that he wears attached plate armor but leaves his obliques & serratus unprotected).
The underneath layer of TDK suit is formfitting - as many have pointed out, one of the great ironies of TDK suit is that there was a perfectly good fabric suit sitting underneath that crappy foam rubber puzzle.
So yes, the cowl is better (hey it fits Affleck's face like a glove in the pics I made of him in it) and is connected to the cape, but so was the BB suit. I guess I could have specified that I was referring to the entirety of what we've seen before. I don't consider this suit a good basis for what I want to see on the screen, as it has every single one of the problems from the previous incarnations with the exception of what I originally identified - a large symbol, a basically two-tone design, and white eyes.
I really don't see where I'm "off the mark," - I can see where we disagree about the suit, especially in the area of whether it looks flimsy or not, but to say I'm objectively "off the mark" is a little bit much, eh? Are we ever going to get around to agreeing on something one of these days? I grew up on Phantom and Halloween, dude, I gotta imagine we can trade a couple kind words eventually, ya?
for Phantom and the Shape?
