****ing. Best. You make the greatest manips with Batfleck. Nice depiction of the white lenses. I love this. My heart... :ilv:

Thanks! That great cape addition really sells it though! I do still think they could make the white eyes work...someday.
 
Me too...Someday. They are perfect in the Manip. Now if they could just adopt that...
 
Here's a manip I adjusted from ifriedrice original...I know I can't let go of the white eyes...

Whether talking about the builds or the suits themselves, I still don't think it's fair to call one dreadful and the other beautiful because they're really not that different. The Arkham suit is certainly much, much closer than any of the previous cinematic Batsuits.

Okay, you do have a point there.

I'm not complaining at all! I love it actually. I'd much rather have exaggerated superhero physiques (within reason) than the normal guys in costumes (looking at you, Routh and Maguire).

I didn't think you were complaining. It's great! :woot:

Indeed. It all depends on the medium being utilised. The Arkham Batman takes the athleticism and endurance aspects of the character to unrealistic levels. Nobody could glide, run or fight at that high standard continuously. But again, it's a video game, and people want to play out that fantasy. To be Batman at his absolute best all the time. So the bigger than usual build in the comics and games doesn't bother me too much. Taking inspiration from it for the movies, like Batfleck does, usually results in a good outcome. Big and intimidating, but suited to 'real life'.

You make a good point, as well.


:funny: Perfect. Especially since his lenses are at its finest here. :woot:
 
Well, they were gray. Granted, it was a dark gray, but it was still technically gray.
The Nolan suits were black. Black. Blackity, black, black. That the black rubber reflected more light than the flocked cape does not make the black rubber technically anything other than f'n black. Whatever credit Nolan deserves, introducing a gray batsuit is not one of them. So no.

Furthermore, they LOOKED black in the movies themselves (the MOVIES, not behind the scenes pics or vids). They look grey on brightly lit displays on convention floors, as any matte black object would.

Fact is, matte black rubber, when it's as black as it can be, just doesn't look that black at times.

BUT the carbon fibre bits on TDK(R) suit(s) were pretty much grey. I remember looking at them in the movies and thinking the whole suit would look fine if it was at that level of grey.
 
I see no double standard. "Arkham" games' Batman build is ridiculous. Beastfleck is nowhere near that as no human being could ever be built like that.

Yep.

Beautiful, though I think the belt will appear to have a bit more colour, if the teaser trailer is anything from which to judge.
 
I haven't seen anyone mention it, but he doesn't look as freaking huge as he does in that short clip in the trailer* - I knew it was just lighting making him look that big.

* Baring in mind it's not Affleck in the suit in any of these pics, but I'm sure the stunt guy is approximately the same size.

Great job on the eyes, but could I have a link to the original cape manip? I can't seem to find it.

Yep.


To me, he looks more like Jim Lee's Batman than Millers in terms of size.
 
^ If anyone has the HD version of that footage I can remake it as a video
 
How long do you think before cosplayers come up with an accurate version of the suit, rather than just a printed 2D pattern on spandex? It seems like it would be pretty difficult to replicate.
 

The range of motion of a neck that thick (I honestly think in front views it's a little TOO wide) is pretty remarkable. Why did it take this long to get it like that?
 
Eh.

The idea that the traditional suit is the best assumes that Batman's comic costume is inherently the best design and/or the design people MUST prefer somehow. Or that you cannot be a fan of the traditional visual of Batman and like the movie suits.

That's silly.

You can be a fan of more than one thing.

As for the "black condomn" look comments, he kind of looks like a gray condomn in this suit. Ribbed, to be sure, but a condomn nontheless.

That said, the character of Batman looks good in a number of designs. He's always looked great in all black. Has for years. He's looked fantastic in a number of variations onscreen. Most of the costume complaints over the years have been about relatively silly things like "He can't turn his head in that mask", as if that truly mattered onscreen, or how much the actual suit weighed, or restricted an actor/stuntman, as if that really mattered onscreen. It was always more about his choreography, not his ability to move fluidly, that was the larger issue for the previous Batsuits. If TDK didn't prove that in a number of respects, nothing will.

I guarantee you this suit, while having flexibility is probably still not all that comfortable or easy to move in. It's not easy to move around in a skintight anything, with a long cape and boots and a cowl on. Been there. Done that.

Now, I think this design looks great, love the adaption of the suit and celebrate how well they've translated the comic book visuals, but I will probably still always prefer Batman's all black look, simply because I think it looks amazing and makes more sense for a creature of the night.

Underrated post. Its one thing to be excited over the Batfleck suit, its another to start making judgements and assumptions about people who don't fawn over things the way you do.

Cause they didnt have THE SON OF WILKIN!!!

Actually, the guy who sculpted the Affleck cowl sculpted cowls on the Burton/Schumacher films as well.

And I thought I heard Wilkinson didn't actually do the Batsuit.
