Will his neck be able to turn ??

Good question. It doesn't seem like it, does it?

Will his neck be able to turn ??

Yup. Wilkinson confirmed it.

“It’s a very important thing to Zack that the Batsuit would be comfortable and very flexible, but then would be able to perform in a very natural and forceful way. So a lot of incredible engineering went into the development of the new black cowl.”

It'd make backing out of Lois Lane's driveway a whole lot easier.

Great! Thanks for posting.

You can kind of tell I think that the cowl and the neck are separated.

 

[KillerWolf]

No problem.

It does look that way. I'm wondering if that's the lighting though. Either way Wilkinson said he can turn, so I'll trust in that.

You can? I can't see it...

No problem.

 

[rockandrollsoul]

You can? I can't see it...

If the cowl displayed at SDCC is accurate, the neck and cowl are not separate (at least on the surface). If the cowl/suit are in fact as flexible as Wilkinson's comments seem to imply, well... I don't know what else one could ask for. Finally, we're getting the batsuit we deserve. I mean, just look at the presence it has in the teaser. The empty suit has more gravitas than any Batman on film yet! Needless to say, I'm elated. The hype is taking over!

Everything sounds perfect.

not sure about the separation. the comicom images don't show any.

And some of you guys must have supervision because I cant tell any difference in the new image from the B&W for color of the suit vs symbol.

SUIT vs SYMBOL - 2016 !

I think the "damaged" look is the material the suit is made from, a kevlar, carbon, grapheen composite weave ?

The sculpt looks like they simply created thin areas in the neck anatomy to allow twisting like a natural neck.

just my modest opine.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I just want to see the grey Batsuit in all it's glory on monday.

Nolan wanted to hammer into his series that his batman wanted to appear "scary" to criminals. Its all about fear. Thinking back on that and comparing nolans suit to this one, it would seem Nolan didn't come CLOSE to that idea. Nolans looks more like tactile armor. THIS is scary. I mean could you imagine seeing this perched on top of a building at night. Absolutely terrifying! I do however like to perpetrate the idea that Nolans bat series is an "else worlds" tale of what would happen if a real batman existed in something closer to our world, and I still love his series.

I think something like that is likely. I wouldn't be surprised if it was similar to a silicone mask but with some reinforced parts to hold more shape.

 

[craigaat]

The neck definitely looks bigger on the official image compared to the CC photo, although it may just be the angle.

You honestly can't see the contrast here?

Symbol looks the same shade as cape and cowl to me. And suit is obviously brighter than them.

I also think this is the case. Wilkinson said "a lot of incredible engineering went into the development of the new black cowl.”, so that makes me think that it is indeed one-piece, but is still able to turn.

I think that "Batman Begins" suit looked appropriately scary, though nowhere near this extent. This is the most monster-like Batman to date.

Yeah, I think it might just be the angle/lighting, but it definitely appears to be more imposing in the film (as expected).

Looks like the right shadows in the right places.

 

[Dninx64]

I wonder if the cowl can be taken off while still in the suit?

 

[TWayneP]

Anyone who thinks he will be able to properly turn his neck are fooling themselves. "A lot of incredible engineering" doesn't mean it won't look wonky as hell when he does turn it. There's no possible way THAT cowl there will look natural when bent at the neck. Think about it lol.

They are gonna stick with the full body motion ala Batman Begins. If he does turn his neck, it will be edited or even touched up with CGI.

There will be some major movie magic going on. Especially if the cowl is removable.

 

[craigaat]

I think the general consensus is that the mouth opening should stretch over the back of his head.

How much do you want to bet that you're wrong?

But you don't know how flexible the cowl is, none of us do.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Snyder and WIlkinson made that a priority. Yeah, I will take their word for it.

Also, I feel bad for our F4 bros. Everywhere they look and see awesome faithful suits. LAwd.

Batsuit
Deadpool

Are my top two suits.

 

[Travesty]

I've said it before a 1000x now. Night Owl was able to turn his neck just fine, and his cowl looked even more ridged than the new Bat-cowl. Plus we've been told that they purposefully engineered it to be able to turn his neck and have mobility for fights.

How much more info do you need to start to realize the truth of the matter?
