BvS The Batsuit Thread - - - - Part 27

[AnneFan]

Tan, brown, or bronze it looks like.

Ta.

Overall, I don't think we can ask for anything more with this style of suit.

 

[The Shape]

Still too bulky for my tastes, but hard to argue with all the same. It's so satisfying to see Batman look like Batman for once, especially after having people on this board tell me for years it could never happen.

To everyone who said it could never be grey, I laugh in your face.

Anyways--like I said when the thing was first revealed, they struck a really incredible balance between the suit looking like worn, often-repaired battlegear, and like the sinewy flesh of some monster. It's really amazing that they were able to do this. Bringing creature elements to the costume is something I remember talking about back in 2004 and it's satisfying to have it finally happen.

It's extremely gratifying. This is just about the 7th live-action Batsuit since '89 and it's the first one that's looked like this. I like the other suits we've had over the years, but this is different.

Bale's probably regretting making fun of people for wearing hockey pads now.

 

[golfguy22]

Anybody find it interesting we still haven't gotten a good look at the eyes? I'm not saying he has lenses or anything, but they are really selling the fact that there's no mere man in the suit.

 

[lujho]

It looks so awesome. I don't like that Batman is so clearly more massive than Superman, but I guess Snyder just really wanted that Miller look.

I've waited for over a decade for Batman to look like this. And yes, the people who said it would look silly or couldn't be done were clearly mistaken.

Evolution of Batman: 1989-2016

27 years. Goddamn.

The funny thing is that the 1989 suit is the one this looks most like. They were on the right track then, they just went in the wrong direction.

 

[matt47]

Maybe this is them cutting the bs and both realizing Luthor played them like fiddles.

That'd be awesome.

 

[Boom]

You know what's even better about all this? We STILL haven't seen this suit in full and in enough light to make out all of the finer details. Two reveals and we still have more to come.

 

[TX85]

The B'89 suit would have looked even more amazing with this color scheme,Damn it Burton!

 

[Boom]

The funny thing is that the 1989 suit is the one this looks most like. They were on the right track then, they just went in the wrong direction.

The beefed-up neck certainly helps to replicate the sharp, angular silhouette so often seen in the comics and in the Burton films. They started to lose it with the Schumacher cowls where the ears started to flare out, and it was altogether gone with the "egg head" look of the Nolan cowls.

We are back to form .

I think the Burton suits looked great as they were. However this one is just as lovely.

 

[Black Narcissus]

This suit is definitely on my top 5 list of best superhero costumes on film.

In my top 3.

 

[The Shape]

In my top 3.

In my top 8 on Myspace.

I am just so happy it's not blue and gray.

You F4 fans will get yours...in due time...ok... maybe one day...probably not.

 

[lujho]

Kryptonite bullet, maybe?

Definitely looks like a very subtle bronze on the belt!

Thank Zod.

 

[matt47]

Looks like cosplay man ruined his suit lol. Might want to take it up with his "sources."

Technically, he could just paint it black again. But he still looked like a tremendous tool coming on here with that bs.

Uh, look at Bat's left hand in the shot of him above, you can see his thumb "knuckle" bit looks bronze!

 

[TWayneP]

No they don't lol.

 

[lujho]

They could be bronze in that shot and it'd be impossible to tell.Nothing in this trailer rules out the claims of bronze fins, toes or knuckles.

I'm certainly not saying they are bronze, I'm just saying there's nothing to rule it out. They could theoretically be any dark colour and we wouldn't be able to tell.

The same costume designer for this movie did these costumes:

He's going to be able turn his head AND fold his cowl back. Wilkinson even said this was one of the first conversations him and Snyder had for this movie.

Man I wish they'd given Nite Owl a cloth bodysuit. I bet if Snyder was making it today he would have.
