BvS The Batsuit Thread - - - - - - Part 29

[Proximo]

That's the suit we are getting in the movie, minus the proportions like has been said a million and 50 times now. This display is on the OFFICIAL WB tour. Use logic.

It's a representation of the suit used in the movie. But it's not an actual suit. It's a fiberglass statue for the million and 50 times. The actual film used suits clearly appear to have a bronze knuckle based on the batcave photo and trailer still. I use my logic.

 

[Proximo]

But again, you are deflecting the undeniable proof that WB officially released this and it's available to see in person soon. The suit colors are 100% accurate to what the batsuit will be in the film.

You are reaching beyond imagination now.

I have spoken to one of the crewmembers from IronHead studio who created the suits used in the movie, and the statues that will be used for promotion. He said there is a slight color difference because the statues are made out of fiberglass. No, you are.

 

[Proximo]

Pics speak for themselves so far. We'll have to agree to disagree I guess.

 

[Silliminite]

I can't believe such a trivial detail is bringing posters to blows. WB have us in the palm of their hand. Nice.

 

[Proximo]

Never heard of IronHead studios. What batfilm are they making? Because the ones on display might have been made from them but they represent the WB's Batman V Superman film.

They created the new Superman suit and Batsuit for BvS under Jose Fernandez, a legend in the industry.

I agree with you, but for everyone else

Probably, but you don't have to be an ass about it.

You can clearly see the knuckle standing out. As it does in the batcave photo. Doesn't look like the black on the gloves.

He's crawling out of burning rubble....things are gonna appear differently than they actually are due to different lighting

 

[Bathead]

Just so we are clear. You do not see a hint of brass/gold color in the knuckles at all?

Nope, not even a little.

 

[Silliminite]

I don't see why bronze knuckles would upset people. It'll barely be visible in the film, if at all.

 

[Proximo]

So you're saying the colors are wrong because it's made of fiberglass???

Yes and no. Because the entire thing is of plastic while the film used suits are rubbers, fabrics and plastics. It's a statue. Not the same level of detail goes into painting them as with the screen used suits.

Really? And where did you read this. Are you quite sure it's not a statue wearing the costume form the movie? Even if it is all statue, why would it be that different than what's actually in the film?

 

[Bathead]

That's what it sounds like. That makes no sense whatsoever.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

Same level of detail huh? Haha. You're right, they didn't put any kind of detail in this at all....

Those things are obviously actual suits, but didn't we hear that the colors on those may not mirror that of the actual screen used suits?

 

[Bathead]

Yes and no. Because the entire thing is of plastic while the film used suits are rubbers, fabrics and plastics. It's a statue. Not the same level of detail goes into painting them as with the screen used suits.

Why not? It looks pretty damn detailed to me. Why would they change such an obvious feature just for the statue?
"Hey guys, let's paint these bits black so they'll be different than what's actually in the movie." That makes no sense at all.

 

[Bruce Malone]

Regardless of the details, the shape of the mold or model for the prop statue seems different than the one in the film and from the image Snyder released himself.

 

[Bathead]

Not from any official source.

In one of my chats with a crewmember who works with the studio who created the screen used batsuits and the statues for the WB exhibit. The "suit" is not different, it's molded off a screen used suit. I'm just saying what he told me, the color is slightly different and by that I'm talking about the suit as a whole.

Now the other discussion I got into here was whether the knuckle on the thumb is bronze or not because it appears to be so in the full picture we have seen of the suit, and the still from the trailer.

 

[craigaat]

Were you around for the "blurple" debate with TDKRises?

This is child's play.

Haha, I was a member then but I don't recall.

 

[BatScot]

That's a fiberglass statue. Not a film used costume. Your point being?

Point being that it's still a valid reference. It's also the best reference we have at the moment.

But, there is no definitive "black" conclusion that can be drawn here:

• Knuckles - very difficult to give bronze a win there.
• Belt - the pods may be darker, but that buckle is bronzhity bronze bronze.
• Fins - there more than a hint of bronze there as well.

Other than the belt, which is fine*, I'm no fan of these other bronze embellishments. But I callz it likes I seez it.

On the other hand, the set pic gives a decent enough look at the boots and I would be hard pressed to describe the toe segment as bronze. To be honest, I'm not sure what's really going on here. The trailer is inconclusive. And the concept art, though I think a brighter bronze there than on the actual suit, cannot be summarily dismissed. I think the metal, whatever material it may be, is dark enough so that it essentially looks black except under the most favorable lighting conditions. But given all the evidence, once cannot rule out the possibility of bronze in some, if not all, these areas.

* Actually, I would have rather seen something other than another metal belt, but c'est la vie. Nothing is perfect.

So it's another "I know a guy who knows a guy.." things. Great.
And I've seen the same pics, and those details don't look even remotely like bronze, they definitely look black to me.

 

[Mr. Blue Sky]

Blurple..... hahahaha

Lol, I'm having flashbacks. I stayed out of it but I remember scrolling through pages debate.

 

[ThePhantasm]

Blurple..... hahahaha

Oh no... whyyyyyy did you have to remind me of this.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

[BatFan1979]

Oh no... whyyyyyy did you have to remind me of this.... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuughhhhhhhhhhhhh

TDK had the permawhite argument. In the Batman Begins days it was all about "teh puffy."

This was before my time on SHH...can someone enlighten me about the "Blurple"?

 

[craigaat]

Bronze on the belt, not on the knuckles or fins. You can see the outline on the fins where the concept art has it colored bronze, but it looks black/steel colored now and has scratches so it's clearly reflective. If there is any bronze there it's incredibly dark and that would defeat the purpose I think.

Zoom in on the fins, I can see some bronze on there.

 

[craigaat]

...and now I'm involved!
