I'm glad that we finally get black and grey Batsuit. Before I thought they would never do it and I wasn't sure if it would even look good. Good that it does

You are rigth, tbhhaving seen the "cowl" of Black Panther kinda makes me a bit envious how badass that looks.
Just saw the new BP images from the EW magazine. Kinda jealous how all the Marvel characters get the most accurate masks/cowls while on our DC side, the go the lazy route (Green Lantern). While I do love the Batsuit, having seen the "cowl" of Black Panther kinda makes me a bit envious how badass that looks. Of course I know this will not go down very well on this board.

I think Panther is overdesigned.
How is CGIing a mask "lazy"?
Apparently anything involving computer effects is lazy according to this thread. WB/DC should just start handwriting their credits.

Because it looked completely horrible and idiotic? I though that was one of the biggest visual complaints about Green Lantern. Did people flip flop again on these boards? I'd be hardly surprised. They could have easily done a physical mask and it would have looked 100% better.
Looking bad and being lazy aren't synonymous ideas. The concept behind the cg suit was an interesting one. I can remember a lot of posters actually digging the idea back when we first heard about it. It just couldn't be executed well. But I've no doubt the effects team worked hard to make it look as good as it could.
Batman's outfit looks a lot better than BP imo. Actually BP kinda looks weird in a cheap way like Daredevil suit. Maybe it's because Marvel movies looks so clean and shiny.
Both Batman/Superman looks majestic on screen so far. Joker is the problem for me. I wonder how much directors has input about their looks.
Yeah CG is by far the hard route.
And, more often than not, not the best or only way.
