BvS The Batsuit Thread - - - - Part 13

I still think this is the best costume:

 

[SpideyFan866]

I highly doubt it.

And I much as I'm dying to see this new suit, I think it'd be pretty stupid to reveal the suit several months before production even begins.

Some are saying production has already begun.

Either way, its gonna begin sooner than many think. I think the fact that Cavill is already in Michigan can attest to that.

 

[SpideyFan866]

Those some are wrong.

Honestly, I think production will start sometime in March. Mid-April at the very latest.

I really don't see the delay going all the way into May.

And if it were to stretch into may, I think we could give up on seeing either suit until SDCC.

At that point, what would be 2 more months? Especially if they don't film exteriors with it to start?

I still think this is the best costume:

Make the bat slightly smaller and lower and I'm okay with that.

I mean, obviously I would prefer something really classic like the Year One suit (probably one of my favorite, if not my favorite, Batman suit) but I know it probably wouldnt look that cool in person. It would have to be toyed and played with quite a bit to look respectable and not like a Halloween costume. Plus, I feel like, just by going off of MOS's suit, that they're only going to be paying homage to the classic suit of the character. This goes for Wonder Woman as well, if she even has a suit/costume in this film. I think it'll look like the traditional look but definitely vary it up so that's it clearly it's own thing. So long as it's not a black rubber one-piece again, I'll be satisfied.

 

[regwec]

Highly doubt it. I don't think WB will be aiming for a Batman that's close to Nolan's, they probably want to leave that alone. Which leads me to ask, has WB ever had a say in how costumes are designed?

Do I really have to use the sarcasm smilie?

Truly I always was favorable for a big utility belt, as for tactical vests, because batman takes with him many large accessory. Of course, not a full tactical vest but just at the belt



Apologize me for my english.

I think the Batman costume is definitely on track, made out of some better more "Hollywood" materials it could look pretty good. Prefer the MOS costume to the one shown here.

Oh dear...

 

[BattleAngel]

Oh dear...

You said it. lol.

This thread has taken a turn for the nauseating.

Super cereal and teh realism strikes again.

That belt points to Superman's Metropolis.

Do we have to drag out the military research documents proving that pure black is sucky camo again? Black absorbs light, it doesn't blend and it sticks out like a sore thumb under moonlight and starlight. Blue makes sense. If you don't like it, fine, but please stop trying to pretend science is backing you up because it isn't.

Careful now... that "military research" you're referring to here doesn't say anything about blue making sense. I don't like blue AND science does back me up on that. I don't like all black either AND science gives evidence that black&gray makes sense. The FAS study is a defense of GRAY; it gives no evidence for the support of blue.

 

[BatScot]

Clean up the logo and transition the cape more seamlessly into the cowl and you've got it. Props to BattleAngel for the base manip here, well done. It's ironic how the "ideal" mirrors the Dead End costume, which was all but reviled here after the buzz of the all black BB rubber suit hit the forums; before that buzz everyone wanted this... funny old game this!

 

[Travesty]

Now that I think about it, someone needs to make a cereal called "Super Cereal".

 

[regwec]

The FAS study is a defense of GRAY; it gives no evidence for the support of blue.

To be fair, however, it's a matter of common sense. As with camouflage during daylight, objects are most easily identified in dim light when they have a sharp outline. It follows that black or white will stand out the most, because they are alternately extremely absorbent or extremely reflective of light. There is nothing special about blue except that, like grey, it isn't white or black. Mid tones do not stick out in the same way.

I suppose the all black = bad study is an argument against Batman wearing black and grey, since the black in the costume comes in large blocks. Unless he wears a grey and black disruptive patterned cape, he would be all black from behind.

Screw realism. As unscientific as it would be, I would love to see a black/grey or blue/grey Batman completely enclose himself in his cape and disappear into the shadows on screen.

I feel like I'm in conflict with both sides here. I agree with everyone that wants to see a blue/grey or black/grey suit like in the comics, but the defense for such suit that I keep seeing over and over again is "Not everything needs to be realistic". I don't get that. As I stated before, the black/grey and blue/grey suits still make more sense than armored all-black even from a realistic point of view. This is due to blending better in the dark, offering the same protection without weighing Batman down, and giving off more of a "creature of the night" vibe.

So why do people keep using that defense? If anything, I would expect those who prefer the all-black bulky armor to say "screw realism".

i still don't understand why he can't have costume over thin armor (like Young justice), or have a "make-believe" fabric that increases tensile strength when struck with kinetic energy.

If adding a 'charge' can make a cape into a glider ( ) then the idea i posted is beyond plausible in a movie world.

It's plausible in the real world as well. Kevlar is fabric and the next big thing in real world body armour is nanofibre suits that look like wetsuits, but have the properties of kevlar when hit by projectiles. Titanium-dipped, plate-based body armor is a laughable invention of Nolan's mind.

I can't wait to see the Batsuit this month, it should convince the haters that they were wrong about the Batfleck.

There is no guarantee about that.

This fabric you are talking about is very far from "make-believe". It's not only plausible, it's actually out there and in use.

Armors of this type are commonly called "liquid armor", though the term fits only loosely, since at this point in time, in large part, it is still composed of Kevlar. The remainder of the armor is made up of non-Newtonian fluids (also known as STF - shear thickening fluids), which act as fluids when left unmolested, but as soon as enough kinetic energy (e.g. gunshot, punch, knife stab) is applied to them to cause sufficient shear force, they almost completely solidify and absorb the impact. A really simple way of testing this is by mixing water with cornstarch in a 1 : 1.2-1.5 ratio (a mixture known as Oobleck). You can stir it with a finger or a spoon, but if you punch it, it will be almost like punching a wall.

Watch this video at the 2:20 mark to see the effect of punching Oobleck

It's quite an interesting area of research as far as personnel armor goes.

We don't need "realism" or "realistic"....the is not the notebook or saving private ryan, this is Batman, a comic character, nothing needs to make sense in this world, only in his.

That is why he just doesn't need a armored suit, because he is Batman!!

He is the dark, he is the night, he is BATMAN! Stay true to the source material and all will be good. No rubber duck suit, no armor that looks like a tank, no lucuis fox doing all his tech designing, no "i am not cut out for this and is going to quite" ********, that wasn't Batman, just some pathetic guy in a suit resembling a bat (Nolanverse SUCKED).

Give us the real Batman, we are NOT looking for a realistic approach, we want to see the worlds greatest detective as he is in the comics on the big screen....

Look at the animations, Superman/Batman Apocalypse, Justice League: Doom, Justice League: Crisis on two earths, or even Young Justice, take those take on Batman, the looks combined with the dialogues, and you will have a winning formula.

I am for a fabric suit which looks like a normal suit but has some comic appropriate explanation of why it is armored, nothing more is needed.

The next Bat suit should be based off of this.
