BvS The Batsuit Thread - - - - - - - - Part 31

[Steve Holt]

i think theres a bottom to the outfit, it's just not being displayed. I imagine it'll look like the Arkham Knight Robin costume bottom half

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Then why did he give Robin the dumb shorts?

 

[lujho]

I think there's a difference between bat-family costumes being made of the same MATERIAL as the batsuit and being made in the same shrink-wrapped muscle-hugging style. You could have a Robin suit made of the same material and with the same texture of the batsuit, that wasn't quite so figure-hugging. If you imagine a Robin costume with a red outer tunic like Damian Wayne has, that had the texture of the batsuit but was looser, then you can see how it doesn't have to look so much like the Batsuit.

 

[craigaat]

Hahahaha

 

[craigaat]

The suit is so great that it works for everyone in the family. I'd like to see a Nightwing version.

Is that Jena Malone?

 

[superkong 500]

I still wonder what material the batsuit is made of.

 

[Bathead]

I still wonder what material the batsuit is made of.

Do you mean what it's made of in real life, or what it's supposed to be made of in the story?

I'd say that is to signify that it was a Robin of a different "era", and the shorts are also a reflection of his youthfulness.

If Bruce decides to take on another protege/Robin in a future films, he'd likely not have the "cheesy" shorts, just as the post-Grayson Robins have had pants and different looks.

I'd say that's overreaching and not the reason at all.

 

[Lencho01]

He could just simply like it.

 

[The Shape]

Okay, you're right. There's no reason for it, I guess?

Spoiler

 

[Uroboric Forms]

What if Scoot McNairy is playing Robin? It makes sense for a Robin with no legs to be wearing shorts

 

[Sawyer]

Oh Lorde.

 

[jokesonm3]

Well call me crazy but i heard he's playing Carrie Kelly

 

[Travesty]

Robin John Blake should've wore shorts.

 

[Majik1387]

Yep, he went from Robin to Catboy.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Robin John Blake is secretly Jason Todd.

 

[souperman]

they handled the shorts thing fairly well in Batman and Robin, when they had him wearing his family circus outfit which was similar to the old comic/TV Robin suit.

Be interesting to see what BvS has in store...

The pants store of course...

 

[KillerWolf]

Then why did he give Robin the dumb shorts?

I think it was meant to be just a nod to the classic costume, but in reality the costume isn't whole on that display, but only the upper part. If you need an explanation, it could be said that pants, being made of more inflamable material, completely burned in that fire.

 

[Majik1387]

Both the shirt and shorts are on display clearly. It's not part of a costume, it is the costume. And why would Robin have shorts and Batman not have briefs. That logic doesn't make sense.

 

[jokesonm3]

i really hope that we dont get shorts robin...

And again you see something I don't. I am pretty sure it is part of the tunic that is meant to go over the pants, a cod-piece, as a matter of fact, same that Batman's and Superman's costumes have.

But even if no pants were meant to be worn, nobody is going to wear this costume anyway. Robin is dead. And it is clear that they made it just to put it on the display, as they didn't even bother to make differently designed boots, gauntlets and utility belt. Also, only people who are really going to pay attention to pants missing (or shorts being present, if you like) on the burned, tattered suit in the background are guys on forums like this. It doesn't really matter.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Is that Jena Malone?

Yep and it's a good manip. Prefer her to be Babs/Oracle though.

Well it has been rumored that we will get a flashback that shows Joker killing Robin, or the aftermath of that, so chances are we will see the Robin costume.

...Maybe,...I am hoping , to give an excuse for Jena to wear shorts..which I am all for...
