BvS The Batsuit Thread - - - - - - - - - Part 32

It looks amazing. It's not going to be in every scene of every Batfleck movie, but it should make more than one appearance.

 

[morningmimosa]

I love the suit! I just don't want it be in every movie.

Exactly how I feel about it. And less Mecha Batsuit means more screentime for the perfect regular Batsuit.

 

[Bathead]

Yea but no matter how much speed and agility Batman could muster up I think it would be impossible for him to move faster than a being that can fly at like Mach 2 and Something in my innards is telling me that snyder is underplaying the suits ability to protect Batman from damage. The part with it not significantly augmenting his strength is plausible,but not offering substantial protection from the worlds strongest being? I doubt it.

I sincerely doubt there are any Earth materials that could stand up to Superman, which, in effect renders the suit kind of pointless. Also,you say Superman is just too fast, yet on the other hand, you're claiming that there are Earth metals that he can't damage? Either he's all powerful (and very boring) or he isn't. Which is it?

I'm not sure that being fast and being able to damage certain metals correlate with each other. Also there is also the possibility, a theory which I really hope is true, that the mech suit is made from zods armour. It was withstanding significant damage from superman when zod was using it so I dont see why it wouldn't protect Bruce.

was it really protecting Zod or was it really the forcefield that all kryptonians project that was keeping it from being damaged

 

[Boy Scout]

Since we don't know that these Kryptonia s project a force field, it's safe to assume that the armor was just really, really tough.

Well there is some evidence that it exists. Superman's suit has been show to be able to take a lot of punishment....Smallville fight, Black Zero fight, Zod fight and yet no damage...yet on board Zod's ship...when his powers were nullified they were able to stick a needle in it to draw his blood.

also if the armor was able to provide some protection from Superman's blows then it would have been stupid for Zod to discard it in a fight.

I don't think that's evidence of anything but particularly tough armor/material.

The needle-through-the-suit was probably just an oversight. It happens all the time.

Zod was 1) overconfident and 2) not the brightest crayon in the box.

I think it's more to do with the Kryptonian material being affected by the kryptonian vs Earth atmosphere the same way a Kryptonian is.

At the same time, I couldn't care less, it's a movie and it's an easy thing to suspend one's disbelief for, haha.

Well I don't see superman being able to move at Mach 2 speeds when he's weakened by kryptonite.

 

[Black Narcissus]

I have always loved the 39 cowl.

 

[Sawyer]

I don't think I'd be able to take it seriously in live action, though.

 

[Jekecy]

A modernization wouldn't look so bad:

The silhouette would be the most intimidating one seen on film yet.

[TheFlamingCoco]

A curved long-eared one would be optimal. See Long Halloween and the Arkham games.

 

[lujho]

Yeah, that dude does the best "first appearance" style cowl. I'd LOVE to see it on Affleck in some early flashbacks, with a sleeker physique and simpler version of the BvS costume.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

I don't really need to see him wear it, but I'd definitely love to see the FA cowl in the cave or something. That'd make me incredibly happy.

 

[phantomknight09]

Yeah exactly! Batman evens the odds with his kryptonite weapon, but to get to that point the suit will have to go through a significant amount of damage.i don't think the weapon will be his opening attack. He'll make superman think he is trying to beat him in conventinal combat. This is the part of the fight superman lets Batman get a few hits on him and then start to smack him around. Just when he thinks he's pummeled sense into Batman, Bruce hits him with the k rock. This is supermans first exposure to it so it will be incredibly effective. Incapicatated and bleeding due to his invulberablility being compromised by the kryptonite, batman supior hand to hand combat skills are made apparent in this part of the fight.
Ultimately supermans life ends up in Batmans hands and this is when Bruce realizes his blind rage has lead him to want to take the life of an individual based on what he might do, as opposed to what he has actually done. Which isn't the justice that batman stands for.

That doesn't explain the cape, though. I think it's more likely that kryptonian materials are effected by yellow suns the same way kryptonians are.

In light of news being a little slow around these parts, here are more close-up shots of the regular costume worn by Affleck in BvS, courtesy of NYCC and Predarnold on Facebook.

Wow, you can really see the fake-ness of the bodysuit texture in those close-ups! Not that it matters, it'll look find on film, it's just interesting. And seems to confirm the idea that these display versions are just statues.

On the other hand, the gloves and boots look like very real leather.

Armored suit pics for good measure..

cool!
