BvS The Batsuit Thread - - - Part 19

[jbyron]

Absolutely perfect. Both the suit and Batmobile. It just exudes a passion and respect for the gdamn Batman. It's everything I had hoped for, and Snyder knows how to light and capture heroic and comicbook faithful moves and motifs. Kudos to the team over there!

 

[ElectroFlare]

Notice how the suit being in shadow hides the "trunks" area? Interesting

 

[roach]

I just hope Batfleck will get to throw more batarangs than Bale did, probably with explosive batarangs, electric charged batarangs etc

well considering that this Batman will be teaming up in JL I would suspect that he'd use his gadgets more.

 

[LeChiffre]

Historically the throwing stars were not for killing but distraction

That's fair, but when you think of the character's usage of them, I think of them mostly being used to knock someone down, keep someone from running away, disable something, etc. Seems like Baleman used them to take out lights and that's about it.

Remote control batarang anybody???t:

 

[The Riddler]

what if the movie itself is black and white?

well, damn, then.

 

[Benstamania]

Love the suit. Perfect.

 

[Boom]

I hope we get an actual special features DVD for this movie and not that interactive crap that MoS had .

Man, I am loving that released pic. I can't wait to see it in motion

It's going to be awesome.

 

[king666]

this is perfect

There's plenty of shots in the comics, specifically Miller's, where the batarangs were sharp and used to incapacitate, drop weapons, etc.

 

[Wise]

maybe this

That looks like A-Train from "The Boys"

 

[guitarsingerguy]

what if the movie itself is black and white?

It won't be. Didn't Snyder even say he took the pic with his monochromatic camera?

 

[roach]

That looks like A-Train from "The Boys"

it's from Batman Brave and Bold's final episode Mitefall...probably my favorite Batman animate episode

 

[LeChiffre]

Still waiting on The Guard and BatScot to chime in .

I love it.

First, Ben Affleck looks fantastic in the suit.

Second, despite its familiarity as a design, this is a very unique design that doesn't rely on "superhero convention" as many other superhero films are doing lately. It's not all padding and buckles and random layered fabric and whatnot. It's a functional superhero costume designed to evoke an iconic image.

This is the Batsuit I've wanted to see for like...forever.

It's pretty clearly either black and gray or a shade of black on black that makes it look like black and gray. That alone is fairly exciting.

Designwise, what's interesting about this suit is that it has so much going on at once, but it doesn't look cluttered for all of it. It almost serves as a commentary on the character. For instance:

-The "muscle" striations/design and texture and lack of obvious armored plating make him look more organic than any version that's come before. I don't think it's possible for a black and gray design to look much more "beastlike" and intimidating.

-At the same time, the suit has a homemade, lived-in feel, with damages and "repairs" along various lines of its fabrics. Even the Bat symbol itself is "scarred" and appears to perhaps be torn in places. This suggests that the suit itself is made of a durable fabric, not body armor plates.

The torso is just fantastic. The muscles look great, without being too molded into the suit itself. With the emblem apparently being a similar color to the rest of the torso "armor", which is gray, he kind of looks carved from stone, like a living gargoyle or something, and that's just a great effect.

The cowl looks very good, and I think complaints about the roundness of it will go away once he's not so profile, and I'm betting the ears will look sharper and more defined from the front. The ears being shorter makes sense, since Affleck is like 6'4" already. He's pretty clearly going to be able to turn his head. Looking at the features of the cowl, they seem a little smooth and "broad" in places. I wouldn't be surprised if they're going to do some CGI work on it to make it more emotive, but if they don't, it still looks fantastic.

The gauntlets are much sturdier than previous versions have been, but they're not overly complicated a design, either, which I like. If you look closely, you can see "battle wear" on the fins themselves.

The Utility Belt is FINALLY the black pouch belt I've long wanted to see adopted. I hate the fact that he wears a gold/yellow belt just BECAUSE in the comics. It may be tradition, but it makes no sense from a tactical perspective. Finally someone with a brain designs the thing, and it looks fantastic, and creates a worthy visual stand in for the trunks.

They nailed Superman's boots, so I'm not too worried about Batman's looking right.

Last but definitely not least...the cape is a thing of beauty. It's connected to the cowl, it's got the ribs inside it, it's thick on the shoulders, and looks like it will drape incredibly well. And it has the leathery look that really worked for Burton's Batman.

It really couldn't be much better. I look at this as a "modern" Batman design, not just "Jim Lee" or "Frank Miller", though there are nods to definitive elements of both their takes on the character. But to me, this just looks like many versions of Batman we've seen since about 2000 in mainstream comics, with a nod to the New 52 and more recent "lines" of the suit that doesn't overpower the overall design or its classic nature.

I love it.

I gotta admit...The Brave and the Bold had its moments.

Personally I loved Brave and the Bold. It's a greatl love letter to the silver age.

If you have not seen Mite fall go boot up you computer and watch it on Netflix...you'll thank me

Welp, this guy summed it up perfectly. I bid goodnight to you all on this historic day which effectively began the next era of Batman on film.

 

[Boom]

I REALLY like the battle damaged portions you pointed out. I think you might be wrong about the belt being black though. I doubt it's gonna be yellow or gold, but I have a feeling we're getting brown leather. I could be wrong though.

 

[Boom]

It's darker than the suit, though, which is a plus one way of another.
