BvS The Batsuit Thread - - - - Part 27

[Boy Scout]

For the last time...

It probably won't be the last time.

It did look bronze for a second...

And considering we can only see it for a second, I think it's pretty safe to assume that it's bronze.

but I think it is because of those sparkles that are flying around.

They're all mostly behind him, though. I doubt they're affecting the color scheme.

The belt is definitely a dark bronzish color, I like it.

Same.

 

[KillerWolf]

I think that's probably it. I would guess the colour is something akin to untreated leather. The buckle looks more metallic to me, because it reflects light when the rest of the belt is completely in shadow.

Yeah, it seems that way. "Pouches" and buckle definitely seem to be made of same material.

Oh boy, is the belt color going to be the new "gold/white dress vs blue/black dress"?

Pretty much, yeah. t:

Debate never ends.

And considering we can only see it for a second, I think it's pretty safe to assume that it's bronze.

We obviously saw it for a second and a half.

 

[regwec]

Wrong.

People here were ALL OVER the Dead End suit like it was GOAT on screen bat suit. They wanted spandex, and more freedom of movement.

Liar.

No one ever said textured kevlar type cloth, with body armor padding underneath. Which is what we are getting now in BvS.

Liar.

In terms of actual performance, and design this new suit is no different than the black rubber wetsuits you're throwing shade at ... you realize that right?

Pants on fire.

Ding-dong the armoured suits are dead!

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I do recall one or two posters suggesting something like the Dead End suit, to be fair the vast majority weren't though. I remember getting into discussions about about the underwear on the outside thing in particular.

 

[BeastWings]

Ding-dong the armoured suits are dead!

In real life this suit is still rubber padding. Same suit, different execution. WTF are you talking about bro?

 

[KillerWolf]

[Manofplastic]

hmmm to me it looks black but on second look i must admit there does seem to be a slight bronzish look over it.

i'll rephrase what i said;

im happy it does not have a cheap asian shiny gold/yellow look on it, like some pics suggested a couple of pages back.

anyway......

the batmechsuit does look a lot like this

which, i do think is really cool and neat, but still, i didn't like it in the cartoon either because i'd rather see batman engage supes more in a fistfight than a 'i need help fight', even though it's understandable.

so will bat's engage a fight with supes because he tries to interfere in a scene where batman is engaging bad guys and supes comes to 'save the day'?

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm with regwec in being happy that those horrible suits are gone.

I like or I am okay with the vast majority of Superhero suits. When I hate suits it's because they suck to me. Now that Batman has been done Justice maybe there is hope for the X-Men in the future.

It's a very different suit. You can tell by looking at it.

It may be crafted from some similar materials and processes, but that does not matter because it is not really a crimefighting costume worn by a vigilante. Unless you are arguing that both the Nolan suits and this one were, conceptually, supposed to rubber wetsuits with cold water sloshing around inside them, your argument is irrelevant. Nolan's suits represented segmented "armour", this one represents flexible fabric of some kind.

No, they are both rubber suits with cloth / wetsuit / mesh under or over suits with make believe armor plating. Only you're gushing over the hidden armor, and bashing the external armor. As if it makes things significantly different.

It doesn't. One isn't more valid than the other. They're essentially the same suit. Same amount of movie make believe.

Which is your critique of external rubber "armor" plating as opposed to underneath a textured cloth? That the one is obviously fake, while this one isn't either?

Exactly what I wanted to say. Nolan's suits weren't armor in reality, so who gives a damn if this is also rubber in reality. The point is that it does not look like rubber in film, like Nolan's "armor" sometimes did.

Pssst...Affleck is not really wearing "armour" under that costume.

You seem to be unable to divorce reality from fantasy.

It doesn't look like rubber. In person or on screen. You just know what it's actually made of ... and actually both versions look very paramilitary.

TDK / TDKR suit just did it way better, and more plausible. BEGINS suit was more wet suit like thin, like Batman Returns ... buckled a lot.

The B89, and TDK / TDKR suits were made of hard thick rubber armor plating. So much so it was difficult to move in the original's case. In TDK / TDKR case the suit while allowing for more movement got much heavier in reality (not story wise)

And also in the latter's case had urethane parts as well that made it look more like practical real life SWAT or riot gear. They don't look like mere rubber on screen. TDK / TDKR suit also had the night like kevlar mesh like material beneath the plating too to suspend disbelief.

Based on the bolded, you're either incredibly forgetful, didn't pay attention at all, or are just a troll, either way, you're full of s***. While it's true a few people did actually like the Dead End suit, saying no one ever mentioned durable lightweight kevlar-ish fabrics is completely absurd, as we probably discussed every known form of durable fabric in existence (and in some cases still in development) in these threads.

Yeah, I have no idea what the hell he's talking about.

No, you are the one who is wrong. I wrote post after post on in this thread about how kevlar is a fabric and Nolan's depiction of kevlar as hardened plates had no basis in reality as did many others on this board. Your posts are ignorant, uninformed, and blatantly inaccurate.

 

[conan69]

No one ever said textured kevlar type cloth, with body armor padding underneath.

Actually a few people have said this, including myself , back to Batman Begins.

Armor under the mesh costume so when the mesh fabric would be damaged or rip, you'd actually see the tactical body armor underneath.

 

[regwec]

I am sure I remember that panel in The Long Halloween/Dark Victory being posted many times to illustrate the point.

 

[conan69]

One of these days, Ill actually get around to reading that.

You are profoundly mistaken.

Long Halloween and Dark Victory are good reads, would also recommend reading Year one and Man who Laughs prior to them.

You definitely should. Nolan's TDK borrowed heavily from that arc.

I haven't read DV, but I really liked TLH. I'm not sure if it's the kind of story you can read over and over again, though. I've tried, but I guess knowing who did it kind of sucks the fun out of it.
