BvS The Batsuit Thread - - Part 18

[hafizbat]

How would y'all feel if the emblem turns out to be grey instead of black? I myself wouldn't mind; it's still the greatest live-action Batsuit ever made, and everything I could have hoped for.

 

[Kevin Smith]

Where are these action figure concept images everyone is talking about with the gold around the logo?

Yes, where?!?!

 

[Reiter]

The belt is so comic book. I now wonder how exactly he is suppose to fight Superman.

It's a movie.

I'm actually glad it wont be as robotic as the new Arkham game suit.

Why do they turn him more and more robotic with every game? Is it an ironman thing?

 

[Devil-In]

It would be much more pleasant around here if people could have a conversation without arguing about every god damn thing.

This. This x1000.

You know, today I had to pay £303 to fix my van after putting unleaded in by total accident, and I was ssoooooo angry... But now I'm sssoooo happy thanks Snyder!

 

[Par Avion]

A thought: Why would Bruce mold all those muscles on to his costume? What advantage could this give a guy who works in the shadows?

It would be a disappointment, but this suit is such a vast improvement over its predecessors that I would scarcely bother to mention it.

Uh, I don't know, to scare the **** out of criminals when they do see him up close? Plus, within the context of the film, Bruce Wayne is meant to be pretty damn muscular...

to look less than a man in a military suit and more like a creature. Begins had that direction and then abandoned it with the TDK/R suit. going back to having a musculature would give him a clear creature-like appearance to those who may happen to see him... before getting knocked out.

 

[regwec]

Cavill's suit has molded muscles. The effect is less for the benefit of the other fictional characters in the movie than it is for the audience.

I think that we need to set aside the Nolan mentality. For Snyder, it seems, you don't need an excuse for things to look good or how they are supposed to.

He's a comic book superhero. He's meant to look like a muscular dude in a cape and cowl. And what these guys said

Snyder said he took this photo with his camera, so it's not an official promo pic. I imagine that lenses (if there are any) will be added on with CGI in post. Or maybe they are only used when Batman uses his detective vision.

No, Snyder said he took A photo with his phone. This is most definitely NOT that photo. This is absolutely a professional, intentional, staged, photo.

***edit*** I misread your post as saying he took it with his phone, referring to a pictur'e Snyder mentioned taking with his phone when doing costume tests.

 

[marcvader]

And he just said that going by that logic, it must mean that MoS Superman is wearing armor then.

What logic? I don't understand what one has to do with the other. They don't look alike to me. One looks like a body suit that is supposed to be alien in origin while the other looks like fabric over a chest piece that is intentionally molded to look like muscle similar to a roman cuirass. The arms on the other hand aren't armored.

Even if he is wearing armor underneath the fabric, who cares? It's Batman and that's exactly how it's supposed to be. So while he may have armor protecting him, it's a different breed of armor from the plating that we're used to from Nolan's Batman.

He's still gonna be able to move like a beast.

I love the way it looks. I'm not arguing about anything.

 

[Mr. Finger]

Amazing. This is so Frank Miller it's ridiculous. They've even managed to give him that bulky, square Miller look!

Yep... For almost 30 years, some of us have been waiting for a vision like this...

Batman has had so many different looks, done by so many different artists over the years? It is almost impossible to please everyone..

Love the cowl.. And finally, short ears.. The jawline looks fantastic.. Sweeping up to the ears.. And it looks like it has an organic feel with expression in it? Looks like the neck will have good mobility as well...
As fan of the black bat emblem over the oval? I am happy.. We have had the oval done well, the styled bat in "BB", the unnoticeable bat in "TDK" and the other...

I have wanted to see the old school Miller one for a long time..
No doubt that there will be a difference in color (emblem to suit) once other pics are revealed..
That I look forward to... And to me? It does look like the cowl contains some texture as well? Almost like material? That is something that I have wanted to see as well.

So many details to take in.. We haven't even seen it in all it's glory yet..
I am one that really disliked the suits in Nolan's "TDK" and "TDKR".. I grew tired of all of the reasoning and the "why's".. It was a mess, and not what the fans wanted to see.
This single image puts those to darn shame, and it IS what some of us fans have been waiting for.

Thank you Michael Wilkinson ... And Zack Snyder

He actually said in his tweet that he took it with his Leica M

"I shot this with my @Leica_Camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham http://imgur.com/3hRU6px pic.***********/p5DEf6fLzJ"

Nolan explained everything and we dont need that again. The general audience loves superhero movies and they dont need to go all Nolan and try to make them buy them again. Especially when Marvel is out there making movies about gun totting racoons.

 

[Lily Adler]

The muscles are most likely a muscle suit used to give the illusion that it's skin tight. The suit is likely the same mesh material used to make the MOS suit that is worn with a muscle suit underneath it.

 

[Eggyman]

Cuz Batman looks cool with muscles. /Visual medium

 

[Loki882]

I really like the costume. The ears are smaller than I was expecting, but that's not really a problem.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Hey Libi you almost made it to 12,000 before the first picture of a costume! They were almost 2,000 posts late, huh.

I'm now more interested to see Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman suit.

So we're meant to intuit that Bruce isn't wearing armour and that his musculature is showing through the fabric? Superman is a different case as he needs no armour so we can believe that's his physique through a tight suit.

to look less than a man in a military suit and more like a creature. Begins had that direction and then abandoned it with the TDK/R suit. going back to having a musculature would give him a clear creature-like appearance to those who may happen to see him... before getting knocked out.

That's fair, but for me, a tougher sell for a guy who operates from the shadows.

Cavill's suit has molded muscles. The effect is less for the benefit of the other fictional characters in the movie than it is for the audience.

That's it exactly.

I think that we need to set aside the Nolan mentality. For Snyder, it seems, you don't need an excuse for things to look good or how they are supposed to.

IMO It's not about having a "Nolan mentality", it's about internal logic. For Supes and Spidey, we can accept the musculature (airbrushed/padding) because they don't wear armour and we accept that we can see their musculature through the fabric. Sure the new suit looks cool, but doesn't really make sense (which isn't something that should be dismissed).

 

[Sterling Archer]

I just noticed the mouth opening has the little comic book triangle shapes cut out at the side. Amazing.

 

[heath]

I added blue to the cowl and cape, deepened the black on the bat and a gold belt to this one.

This one I just added the gold belt and more black to the bat.

 

[Tequilla]

I like it. Different from other incarnations , very Miller-esque. Very bulky.
