BvS The Batsuit Thread - Part 7

[Amadeus Arkham]

A blend of the Batman: Incorporated with the Arkhamverse suit would be perfect.

Question to those who want the trunks: In your opinion, would the color break you're looking for still be necessary if they use the yellow oval and yellow belt as opposed to the yellow belt and the black bat?

 

[The Shield]

That belt is nice but without the symbol. I still have nightmares of the \S/ belt from 06. That art is awesome!

too much yellow needs more black, with the black bat there is a balance made so no trunks for my tastes

 

[Amadeus Arkham]

The Arkhamverse suit seems like it would be the most realistic for a Bruce Wayne who has to carry tons of equipment out into the field with him. The gauntlets could carry processors and interfaces for a "Detective Vision" hookup (which was shown in Arkham Origins to be server-based at the Batcave) and they could have things like an augmented reality projector built into the gauntlet which would allow Batman to display a real-time battlefield and give orders to the Justice League.

I'd love to see some use of smoke pellets. I always liked how it was done in The Batman.

Smoke pellets are a must.

Smoke pellets are a must.

He'd come from above the bad guys, just drop some before he lands, and take them out.

Considering the reason I like the trunks has nothing to do with any kind of "color break" excuse, whether it's a yellow oval or plain black bat with whatever color belt is totally irrelevant. I just think the suit looks odd without them. It looks like a one-piece PJ to me, I half expect to see a flap in the back so he can go to the bathroom.

Personally, I hope that we're spared any unnecessary compromises stemming from these kinds of considerations, for a while.

Color break is the whole reason to have the trunks at least that's what all the pro-trunks people on the MOS boards were saying.

 

[Boy Scout]

The Batman Inc. suit is the only one I've seen be able to pull off having a bat on the belt. I guess it helps that the belt itself looks pretty darn good on its own.

Not me. As I said, the suit just looks odd to me without them, probably because I'm simply used to them. Which in my mind, is as legitimate a reason to keep them as "the trunks are outdated" is to lose them.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

They are outdated though. Batman hasn't had them in decades on the big screen I doubt Snyder is going to bring them back.

 

[Shikamaru]

I don't mind them in the comics or in animation, but they are too outdated in live-action IMO.

Agreed

You mean outdated in the movies since 1989, as opposed to them being around in the comics for over seventy years? Since when did the movies become more important than the source material?

I'm all for the trunks, or just a black area there because the suit looks best when it's broken up like that. But a lot of non comics fans would definitely make fun of the trunks, so i think it's a better idea not to use them

 

[roach]

I think if we start analyzing what is actually outdated and functional on superhero suits very little would remain.

Agreed. i'm hoping for trunks as long as they don't look too much like underwear

I don't think they're necessary in live-action. They provide a color break in the suit in the comics, but they're not necessary here because live-action wouldn't have that problem IMO. I never had a problem with Superman's lack of trunks in MOS either. I thought it looked fine.

Plus, I'm still not ok with Superman not having them but Batman having them. That is a huge factor for me. That factor alone makes the idea feel really awkward to me. By the time JL rolls around, Batman and Wonder Woman would be the only ones with their briefs on the outside.

Look, in the comics, sure it's just part of the convention. But in good storytelling, especially movies, there does need to be a reason for everything - in the case of the trunks it either needs to serve a purpose functionally or be important to bats characterization. I still haven't heard a good argument towards either of those. The argument against it is clear - it makes no sense why they're there.

That just isn't true.

And considering the briefs are the only thing Wonder Woman wears at all down there, the briefs on Batman would look out of place indeed.

What if they went with something like this though?

 

[Bigjxxx]

Count me in as a fan of the Trunks. I also hate the Man of Steel costume. I was hoping for the Superman costume similar or a cross between a Kingdom Come suit and the Fleischer suits. As far as Batman, just give me somthing similar to the Bob Kane enverisoned design with some armor.
