Too light would just look wrong.

 

[Sawyer]

Gurl, don't even. Navy blue is the lightest I'm willing to go.

 

[Kane52630]

Sweet Baby Meth Blue all the way son!

Arkham City suit definitely looks better with those proportions. Is it an unlockable skin from the start? I think that's what I'll do on my first playthrough.

The game starts with Batman wearing that suit, and he upgrades to the new suit at an early point in the story. You can select the original suit as his active costume at any time, though. One caveat, though: right now there is a bug that occurs when you change costumes. Normally, Batman's suit accumulates battle damage as the game goes on, However, if you switch suits at any point and then switch back to the suit he would normally be wearing, he will no longer show any battle damage for the rest of the game.

If you enjoy seeing the battle damage on the suit, I recommend you not touch the alternate costumes (including the original suit) at all for your first playthrough.

The new suit is also really beautiful, despite the fact that it's the sort of armour I usually prefer to avoid. The cowl in particular has a better shape, in my opinion, than the classic Arkham cowl.

Yup, the new suit in Arkham Knight is awesome.

There was another glitch with this too. I switched to the Arkham City suit after beating story mode. I went to Wayne tower and I had to rescue Fox from a gunman. The gunman made Batman remove the cowl, but I think this was only meant to be done while wearing the Arkham Knight suit. Because he took the cowl off, but it was still on, and his hands were empty, but he had Bruce Waynes hair now coming out from the top of the cowl! It was funny, but I was surprised to see such a glitch!

It seems that New 52 suit doesn't have that problem though. I've seen the video where Wayne detaches the cowl the same way as the "Arkham Knight" suit's one in that scene when

Spoiler

Tim Drake forces him to lock himself up in the cell.

By the way, most of the suits are atrocious in this game to me. I like Flashpoint cowl the best though (second favorite being New 52 one, for short ears). I hope someone will make a mod with white eyes instead of red ones of Flashpoint cowl, as I'd really like to see that.

As for the navy blue cape and cowl, I agree with people who think that it would look good in live action. In most ligthings you can't tell it apart from black anyway, but under certain light it looks better than a pitch black one. I believe it has to do with the way it reflects light. It has to be very dark though, akin to the "Arkham City" suit.

I'm assuming you have this for PC? I pre ordered mine for One but don't have any extra skins besides the Anime one and the ones from story mode. I'm searching near and far to try and figure out how to get that TDKR one.

No, I didn't get the game at all, I pretty much stopped playing games completely. A friend has it on PC (it is buggy as hell though) and I've seen some gameplays on YouTube.

As for TDKR one, I don't know how one gets to have it either. I assume it goes along with Batman Beyond one.

That initial AK suit does look pretty nice. I wouldn't call it the AC suit exactly - it's clearly different enough that it's meant to be an actual different suit. Kind of in-between the AC and AO suits and slimmed down (not that that makes sense chronologically as AO came first).

But yeah, not bad. Although I don't ever need to see cape clips/clasps again.

And it IS really nice seeing an AA/AC-ish style suit with better proportions.

Honestly, I think Rocksteady should rerelease special editions of the first two games at some point down the line, with upgraded graphics that included much more realistic proportions (not just for Batman but for everyone), because I would love to see those suits done with realistic proportions. The initial AK suit is the closest we've seen to that.

I'd definitely get a figure of that suit if they released one.

 

[regwec]

Given the evident popularity of the "Arkham" games, it is surprising that nobody has started a thread in which they can be discussed.

 

[steve4991]

I just feel that now with the live action grey bodysuit, the emblem, the cowl, the boots, the gloves, are all changeable to make any type of Batsuit the fans would want. Dark blue? Done. Longer ears? Done. Smaller chest symbol? Done.

Not sure if serious...

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

I'm gonna expand on that and say the whole image is simply beautiful. Batman+red skies=epic.

I know. I love the colors and the shading. I've been wanting a poster version of it.

I thought I read somewhere that they were getting the HD treatment.

These games having great playability and looking really good aside, I must say that I don't really like approach to Batman and his universe in "Arkham" games. Especially in "Arkham Knight", Gotham is way too clean, neon-lit and modern as opposed to one I've grown to like through the comics and animated series. One that actually looks gothic for most part.

And I am not fond of, not just Batman's overuse of advanced technology, but overuse of it in general. I mean, how many doors need to have electrical lock that require hacking the computer to get in and such?

These are enjoyable and, in their own right, great games, but if someone would ask me to describe what a Batman game should be like, this would not be it.

 

[Boy Scout]

Gotta go real dark blue, though. Too light would just look wrong.

Agreed. And even then, I'd only like the cape and cowl to appear noticeably blue only under certain lighting conditions.

I just feel that now with the live action grey bodysuit, the emblem, the cowl, the boots, the gloves, are all changeable to make any type of Batsuit the fans would want. Dark blue? Done. Longer ears? Done. Smaller chest symbol? Done.

I would love to the see the oval return. I think it's about time now. Going forward, I'd also like to see Affleck slim down a bit. He looks great, but I would prefer a less hulking Batman going forward.

 

[The Shape]

I hope they stick with the black/grey for the next few movies. Wouldn't mind if they made tweaks to the aesthetics of the suit overall and also the symbol, although I think it looks pretty damn perfect as is.

I think that for Justice League, Batman will have an updated version of this current suit that maybe will look "newer" and appear to be made of a different material.

 

[Bruce Malone]

I've never been a fan of the blue look

Batman was always supposed to have worn black. The bluish look came about due to inferior coloring methods where you had to highlight black with blue, and then the blue just started to dominate the look.

When Batman decided to don a Bat motif I highly doubt he decided on a blue color pattern?

Again in comic art blue often adds a pop but it's not needed in live action.

100% agreed. Never cared for the blue and lighter gray. Im also not big on the oval.

 

[KillerWolf]

I don't like the oval and am not fond of very light gray, but I still stand that navy blue like this:

would work rather well in live action.

 

[Enriquespy]

That's to obscure, what is the point of being blue if it's almost indistingible from black?

That tone is for the cape, the rest of batman can use a light blue/gray.

In the dark it might be indistinguishable from black, but under direct lighting it looks much more blue:

Still, I wouldn't mind a shade lighter I guess. But not much more than a shade.

 

[Bathead]

Yeah, but if it's that dark, it might as well be black.
