Look at the difference in how the suit looks here:

So much better with that background over the blank sheet. But I'd like to think they did it for the fans to play with :)
 
The cowl opening is oddly narrow/tapered rather than show Affleck's square jaw. Also dont like how his mask has built in eyelids.

Crappy edit on tablet but I think it looks better. Squarer opening, no mask eyelid, less nose crinkle

The thing is, when applying such changes, you have to take into consideration what the cowl will look like from all angles. It appears that you altered only one side of his face.

While I don't see a need for any alteration to the opening, you're better off working with w/ a headshot like this, where Affleck's body is facing dead center.

Looks a lot better when he isn't slouching

Yes. He just needs to adjust his posture a bit, but I suspect he's being instructed to lower his head and slouch for whatever reason. Perhaps it's another way in which Snyder is looking to articulate the dichotomy between Batman and Superman.

I might be wrong, but Batman is often shown slouching, crouching or hiding in/stepping from shadows in Trinity pics, as opposed to Superman and Wonder Woman who are standing proudly, as it goes in line with character's general M.O. and it is possible they tried to evoke that here in EW photo.

It would be more effective if they had him drape himself with his cape, though.

I noticed that it appears like Batman is holding something in his hand earlier, but now after seeing hi-res photo I am almost 100% sure of it. A grappling gun, perhaps?

They said he had a grapple gun, right?

Yeah, they did:

"One of the propmen showing off Batman’s new grappling gun mentions that there was one item in particular he was really excited to work on... but he can't talk about it. Might it begin with the letter k and end with ryptonite? An expression of panic crosses his face, and he glances down at the grappling gun as if he’s considering firing it into the rafters and flying away."


I may be just seeing things, though... what do you make of it?

And I must say, I was half-expecting that there won't be grapple gun this time around, given the size and weight of this Batman.

The far side is at an angle that faces the edge so it wouldn't look significantly different in that photo.

Eh, I'm not out to convince anyone especially after all the resistance I got early on for suggesting to remove Superman's briefs. People will be against what they can't imagine until they actually see it, and for some until they're forced to get used to it. That's a problem when arguing over aesthetics, so I'm just expressing my opinion.

I made suggestions to the MOS suit which at the time people thought was perfect so they argued against it. Funny enough, I got the changes I wanted (smaller, lower shield with different texture, brighter colors). I'm sure they will tweak this Batman suit in the future too including the mask.

You're not wrong, and perhaps that is the look they were trying to emulate. What works in illustrated form doesn't always come across well in real life/photography, however.

Some people are just afraid to experiment with new experiences.

Fair enough.

Oh yeah, I guess this is batsuit as well:

Just imagine the super high-res images we'll be getting of the suit.
 
Can't wait to see the Hot Toys version. :woot:
