BvS The Batsuit Thread - - Part 15

[hafizbat]

I love the guys who respond with an opposite extreme as if another bad idea somehow validates this particular bad idea.

Merely pointing out that the Batsuit isn't as "easy" and "simple" as he's making it sound. And this "particular bad idea" isn't bad at all, IMO. I guess we'll agree to disagree.

Finally, some rational thought

Man... when did this thread take a nosedive?

 

[hafizbat]

To me, this is a well-designed suit that looks better (in concept and execution) than the TDK suit. No, I don't like the bevel in the cowl. No, I don't want to see Affleck wear this suit in the new film series. But it's still an interesting, alternate aesthetic take on Batman.

That sums up my feelings about the AK suit as well. Thanks.

Man... when did this thread take a nosedive?

Hmm, I'd say right about here.

not gonna respond



whatever . there is a clear difference between those suits. They at least "got it" when they were making Origins, City and Asylum, now they don't.

And uh do you have proof that they were all designed by the same people? I'd like to see some documentation regarding that. Until then.. I don't believe it!

Good one dude.

The fan community finally united on something. Otherwise positive posters on here have been trash talking the Arkham Knight suit. As far as our little fan community goes, you're in the minority with your opinion. But keep arguing with me, that'll make your opinion true, and it'll make me change my mind. Please keep going.

And see, no matter what the "in-story" explanation is, there is no realistic explanation for its functionality, because there's no way Batman could realistically move around in that thing. Its about as "realistic" as him fighting in his pajamas. The only reason people find this suit more appealing than pj-Batman is it looks complicated so they "think" it is "grounded" and "realistic." But its really cheesy, complicated, aethetically confused, and ugly.

Do you think repeating the same sentence over and over again will help convince everyone that what you're saying is fact?

Also, none of the suits in the Arkham series (including this one) are overly bulky. Rather, the Batman in the series has a somewhat ridiculous musculature. His body is what's bulky, not his armor. It's been the same in every game, just as the over-sized boots and gauntlets have been present in every game including this new one.

We know nothing about how much this suit weighs, we don't know what it's mean to be made out of, we don't know how a suit like this functions or how it would realistically limit (or enhance) his movements. But...who the hell cares? He moves amazingly fast in all the games and looks badass while doing it, so why burden yourself by pouting about functionality? I don't get it. It's one thing in a live-action series, but a video game? C'mon.

Are you seriously threatening me for not having the same opinion as your "united little fan community"? Get over yourself...

You are defending the realism / practicality of the suit by appealing to the fantasy / make-believe nature of the world? And you don't see how that's contradictory?

In that universe, the suit is practical. That´s why he uses it. In reality, it isn´t. It´s as simple as that. You want a practical suit, but you don´t even know what a practical suit is, since you don´t know anyone who does what Batman does. How can you say what works and what doesn´t work if we don´t have real life example? You´re just speculating basing your opinions on your own fantasy.

Plus, you don´t know the true nature of the suit, or do you? Do you know how much it actually weighs? Do you know what materials it´s made of? Do you know how it feels to wear one? No, you don´t. So how can you evaluate it? You can´t. You simply speculate and act like you´re some sort of expert on what works in a completely fictional world, wich is pretty silly.

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but it seems indeed this suit is an special one, that you only wear after playing the game for some time.

We pretty much had the classic suit already. The classic suit is just extremely and painfully plain, which is quite boring. I'm glad to see different takes on Batman's suit, good or bad. It's one of the reason I love the character. If we keep getting the classic suit for everything, he may as well be Superman.

It just goes to show. If you don't like the regular suit then just play using a skin.

Damn dude, you need to R E L A X.
I don't like the Arkham Knight suit. Whatev. Neither do a lot of people on here. It's all whatever.

Like what you want to like.

What the hell happened to this thread?

 

[Rorschach2012]

What the hell happened to this thread?

[Lily Adler]

This is still my favorite design:

A couple of people don't hate the Arkham Knight suit? Nooooo! What a tragedy!!! Some people even had a few positive things to say about it and stated well-reasoned opinions about its merits? What is wrong with this world!!! This thread is ruined foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[The Shape]

This is still my favorite design:

There's no way he could move in that thing. The bevel on his chin is confusing. :sarcasm:

 

[MrsKent26]

Is this too much to ask for the movie?

This would be great. Maybe get rid of the trunks though.

I don't want to start a squabble, but...I don't like it at all. It reminds me of a more technologically advanced snowsuit. I want something sleek.

 

[Lily Adler]

Batchin?

Yeah he's so awesome he doesn't even need a utility belt.

I suspect that this is using that "sarcasm" i keep hearing about... if so, well played, sir...you got me

That post wasn't mine.

Personally I love the Arkham Knight Batsuit.

Would it look good on film? Probably not it's a little too busy for live action.

But for the over the top stylistic world of the Arkhamverse it's perfect. The arkhamverse is a world where every thug has a Schwarzeneggar body, it's one or two gym sessions away from being Gears of War. And I like that.

I meant to paste you saying "What happened to this thread?" so that I could sarcastically mock your overreaction to witnessing varying opinions.

Don't worry, no squabble will be started. I just think some folks are forgetting that this new suit is coming from a series that gave us this...

....as Bane. The Arkham game series hasn't exactly been shy or afraid to give us some designs that are "over the top". I don't believe Affleck's new Batsuit will reflect this new game design.
