BvS The Batsuit Thread - - Part 18

[InJustice]

One solid piece, still able to turn his head.

Wilson had partial movement. He wasn't able to turn his head with full range.

 

[Mr. Finger]

Ha.. I suppose that I look at it this way...
Mazzuchelli is the man that gave me my favorite image of the black cowl and short ears.. Year 1..
So I am happy to see a tribute to Dave Mazzuchelli's art work as well..

As far as the dreaded "turn the head" worries?
I have faith..

I do like that we are back to a one-piece head and neck..
And in the teased pic, if you know what to look for? You can see a lack of tension in the back of the cowl.. In the altered pics with more brightness? You can even notice a lack of buckling and folding under the chin..
These are both little things to look for when it comes to these cowls..
Look at pics from "BR".. Anytime Keaton lowered his chin? There were folds and buckling on the neck.. Which represents the material firmness being a little on the tough side.. Taking away from mobility.
If the chin is lowered with a firm tough cowl, if it doesn't stretch properly on the back of the skull? A lot of pressure goes to the nose.. The cowl not stretching.. And wanting to pull the nose upward..

If you know what to look for, this little teaser contains a lot of information.
Does it matter to me.. really... If the head can turn? Nope.. Not really..

But I think if it does.. And the mobility is improved for Ben and the Stuntmen?
That is a very important part for allowing for more fluid movement during some fight scenes..
Which is also something that I look forward to..

Lord knows that can be bettered from the last few outings..
I can't wait to watch Batman kick some serious ass in this suit..
Even if he can't turn his head, but I think he will have pretty good movement from the looks of it.

Or... I may be full of ****.. And what I know about these type of cowls could be utter rubbish? Hmmmm...

 

[SuperInfidelX]

Back to the fake muscle suits. Sigh.

 

[RAE072]

Not even a contest.

I agree.

Two totally different Batmen in what will probably be two totally different styles of comic book movies so it'd be silly to compare them.

 

[Boom]

Interesting that the chest emblem appears to be the same tone as the bodysuit itself, whereas the gloves, cape, and cowl are clearly darker.

God DAMN, this suit.

 

[RAE072]

Wilson had partial movement. He wasn't able to turn his head with full range.

I didn't say full range. I said "was able to turn his head."

So the same thing in Begins.

It'll be better than the Burton/Shumacher Batmen in that respect.

 

[The Man of HEEL]

Back to the fake muscle suits. Sigh.

Troll alert.

 

[Lando81]

Multiple sources have said that the first suit they're showing is his traditional suit and he'll be wearing an Iron Man esque suit to battle Superman or whatever alien villains in BvS/JLA. Like the end of Returns, Kingdom Come, even a bit of Batman Beyond. A suit like that.

Which makes perfect sense because of A) the source material they're pulling from and B) Bruce won't survive a single hard punch to the chest with his regular suit, especially the one he's wearing here.

Are those the same sources that said the suit would be Lee Bermejo based? How do we even know Batman will fight Superman/Aliens? We don't know jack. Plain and simple.

 

[Travesty]

I actually think the emblem will be darker than what we can see with it right now.

 

[Boom]

There is a shadowed crease around the ear that suggests, to me anyway, that they've constructed this cowl in a way that he will be able to turn his head.

Plus it's Snyder, the costuming genius, so this should be a foregone conclusion.

 

[InJustice]

Why would we assume that? TDK's batsuit didn't have lenses in the majority of the movie but we still got them.

If Snyder wanted a Batman with lenses, this reveal would've been a prime opportunity to showcase them (and further separate his Batman from previous renditions). Also, The Nolan example is a poor one considering that it only served as an Easter Egg, whereas people in these threads were expecting a permanent addition to the costume.

 

[Boom]

The sculpted musculature gives him that animalistic, bestial quality that they tried to imitate with the BB suit and completely lost with the TDK suit.

He looks like a creature.

[Destructus86]

Still not excited for the movie. But I am sooooooooooo glad they freaking got the Batsuit RIGHT for once. I love the image. The Batmobile also looks fantastic!

 

[Nathan]

I guess the lenses could still be done like in the Arkham games.

 

[regwec]

Interesting that the chest emblem appears to be the same tone as the bodysuit itself, whereas the gloves, cape, and cowl are clearly darker.

God DAMN, this suit.

Because the gloves, cape and cowl aren't black?

 

[Kevin Smith]

This could be true yeah.

I hope the material isn't too similar to Cavill's 'Kryptonian' suit.

Same. Hell, I hope Cavill's new suit looks less like his MOS suit in that regard. I hated how thick it was. They need to make it look less thick and the rivets less pronounced.

Also does he have white eye lenses?

Nope, he doesn't appear to. And I hope he doesn't. Batman in the comics and cartoons doesn't. They just drew him that way so we can still see his eyes since the rest of his suit is black around that area.

 

[Lando81]

Back to the fake muscle suits. Sigh.

That's all Affleck muscle, son. HATERS TO THE LEFT.

 

[InJustice]

Bruce in an armor wouldn't survive a hard punch from Superman either.

 

[roach]

Bruce in an armor wouldn't survive a hard punch from Superman either.

Bruce in a battle ship wouldn't survive a hard punch from Superman

 

[RAE072]

If Snyder wanted a Batman with lenses, this reveal would've been a prime opportunity to showcase them (and further separate his Batman from previous renditions).

Or he understands that the eyes are needed to help convey emotion and intends on making the cowl very hi tech with an array of built in gadgets, including retractable lenses.

Also, The Nolan example is a poor one considering that it only served as an Easter Egg

Yeah, no it wasn't.

whereas people in these threads were expecting a permanent addition to the costume.

That doesn't have any bearing on what we might be getting in this movie?

 

[InJustice]

I didn't say full range. I said "was able to turn his head."

So the same thing in Begins.

It'll be better than the Burton/Shumacher Batmen in that respect.

Begins' Batman wasn't even able to turn his head either. He had to move his shoulders to turn. The difference is that unlike Nite Owl, Batman relies on full range of motion for his fighting skills. So just because a limited range is okay for Nite Owl, it doesn't mean that it's okay for Batman.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'd rather fake muscle suits than the horribly ugly previous Batsuits that we have endured.
