The BATSUIT Thread

[BattleAngel]

How does everyone feel about this design?

It's pretty much the new 52 suit but with typical batsuit features. I know it doesn't show much but I like it. Specifically the texture of the armor and fabric. The only thing I don't like is the lenses/ white eyes.

It’s awesome (especially the lenses!) and it’s my opinion that we *shouldnt* see much of the detail, so it gets an A+ from me.

 

[WatchProtect]

I love everything about That.

These designs are still the gold standard IMO:

Only a few of those have the cape the suit needs. It might seem minor, but it makes such a difference. To the point of where the reason the Dead End batsuit is arguably my favourite live action version of the suit because they got the cape and cowl so right that it being the Alex Ross spandex underneath doesn't even matter.

Just look at these two shots and tell me that is not Batman. I dare you.

The only way to get a proper cape & cowl is to make it one piece , or CGI

Loving that contrast between dark blue and grey.

 

[Jekecy]

The perfect blue.

 

[Travesty]

Now that I think about it, if they do a blue cowl, do you think they need to put black makeup around the eyes, blue makeup, or no makeup?

Blue makeup

 

[Travesty]

Yeah, I'm guessing it would have to be blue.

Weird, I never thought about that till now.

I've mentioned by love for the Dead End suit in this thread before, but they also did something interesting where they had the actor wear white contact lenses.

This is a more elegant solution than what the Dark Knight gave us.

Here, his eyes are too big, and the wrong shape. It looks odd.

As long as the lenses are limited to "detective mode " scenes, fine...but for the most part , I want to see his ****ing eyes. Eye contact made Keaton's Batman, for instance.

The perfect blue.

Love it!

It’s insane how much better Affleck’s look could’ve been if they had only given him a decent mouth opening.

[Boom]

I love it. Perfect shade of blue.

 

[WatchProtect]

I kind of hate this but it's not really Bad per se.

Although I'm not a fan of blue/grey, lenses, or the Hush-style mouth cut- out, the overall design and shape is perfect!

I love everything about that lol, even the mouth cut-out.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Goddamn this is beautiful

 

[Boom]

It's perfect. And with the oval too.

Give me that all day every day.

While this is better than TDK-suit, it still has a lot of the same problems. The pants, especially. Too much of an eyesore.

I get they're trying to do a live action Rebirth suit, but it looks more like TDK-suit than anything.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Yes. Please.

Love the Dead End suit. Just wish he had a gold utility belt. A black utility belt really works great when there's no trunks, but with the trunks it needed that little splash of color, imo. And the white contacts were a cool touch. It's my opinion that while it would look hokey in a movie today, the Dead End suit (cape, cowl, suit, contact lenses, eye paint, etc.) would have looked awesome in Burton's Gotham (if Pierce Brosnan had accepted the role, that is).

Anyway, those lenses in TDK were... different. Definitely wouldn't have worked full time. I was full on the "white lenses" train and still think they could work, but after careful thought I think the lenses as a temporary Arkham-ish "detective mode" would work even better.

I would like to see a one-piecd cowl attempted. Maybe one day
