The BATSUIT Thread

[Loden Greatstorm]

Do we know who the costume designer is yet?

 

[I Am The Knight]

I genuinely would, if it wasn't for the helmet glitch. Hence why I just use the Asylum suit

What's the "helmet glitch" ?

What's the "helmet glitch" ?

In Arkham Knight, there's a few scenes where Batman takes his mask off. But because Arkham Knight had Iron Batsuit, he takes off a helmet, which is what they animated for each scene. Every batsuit, bar that one, has the helmet come off just fine. However, for whatever reason because of how they created the model, the V7 batsuit doesn't have a helmet come off. Instead, Bruce's hair just casually plops on top of the batsuit. This video shows pretty well what I mean

Compare the first batsuit vs literally every other suit

Those suits just look so bulky and heavy...

Ahh, I see. That is odd. Reminds me of the annoying "glove fins through the cape" thing from the previous games.

The weird thing is that the V7 suit actually fixes that by having the fin closest to the elbow slightly further outwards. It even looks kinda neat given their purpose is to break bladed weapons and whatnot, which makes sense

This looks pretty good. It's the Batfleck suit, except made of cloth rather than rubber. The musculature is far more realistic and aesthetic too, although the abs could be toned down. If Reeves goes for a classic costume, this could be a fresh change from the rubber.

If they do go for a fabric-looking material as above, it would be cool to see a protective underlayer like this.

I feel like a fabric or cloth material would be nice, but I'd also like a particular pattern or texture to it that almost implies it's a bleeding edge material that gives him protective properties while also allowing him to remain flexible. The perfect example is that cover art Lee Bermejo did that I commented about a page ago. Something like that would look cool but also still look like it sorta makes sense. I feel like a strict cloth look would look too Alex Rossian, which in my opinion would take it too far in the opposite direction of the "tacticool" look

Yeah, that looks great.

Now add the oval, and it would be perfect.

I hope they go with a Batfleck type suit but they make it darker in color

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

The new costume will be radically different to that of Batfleck's. Trust me.

It better be: New suit, new car and new gadgets are part of the attraction whenever a new batman rolls into town.

Totally agree.

 

[harrier1215]

Just do this. This isn't complicated unless people make it complicated. Maybe refine gauntlets, but its black/grey/ shows armor but isn't overly bulky and is clearly enough of the iconic overall look.

 

[BatsAndNights]

The new costume will be radically different to that of Batfleck's. Trust me.

I'd say keep the colour scheme and general idea of a fabric suit. Anything else? Absolutely. Gimme my TAS cape, white lenses, Hush style emblem and Batman Inc from Arkham City length ears. I will pay to see the movie in seconds.

I highly doubt we are getting lenses.

 

[BatsAndNights]

As do I, but good God I will wish for a live action batsuit with the lenses until the day I die

Well if they ever do, let's hope to God it's better than the hand-me-downs from Batman Forever and The Dark Knight.

 

[Marvel united]

The lenses don't have to be a permant thing. They can toggle on/off

If the suit doesn't look like this then why even bother make this movie?

If you went with a gray "fabric" suit, go with Earth One but a shade or two darker.
Myself, I like the strapped on tactical armor, plus when it comes to movie suits I usually gravitate towards the all-black look (putting me at odds with most comic book fans). Most suits designed with the armor plating have a black or dark gray under suit, with lighter gray armor. I would like to see them experiment with black armor over a gray under suit instead.
Oval all the way, but use a bronze or gold instead of yellow.
As for the mask, The Dark Knight showed us that it's easy to keep the mask and neck separate for better head movement. Keep that, and I had an idea. Obviously, if Bruce wants to take off the mask and keep the suit on, he could take the mask off like a helmet. But I think it would be cool to give the mask a removable faceplate. I just think it would be cool visual to see Robert Pattinson's face in full, still outlined with the sides of the mask with the ears up top.
I wish I was better at art, so I could actually draw or make a Photoshop of what I mean.

I'mma go with no to literally all of this bar Earth One as a baseline
