The BATSUIT Thread

Nope

Nice!

Hopefully they will use it in this new version.

I think i'm the only one who loves the shorter ears. I feel this is something just about right for Batman.

Shorter ears are present in the majority of his most famous and iconic looks in the comics.

It is fine if you like short ears. To each their own, I just find they look too much like Daredevil's horns when they get really short. They look more distinctly Batman when longer and the artists get to play and do more interesting things with his silhouette with longer ears.

However, I don't think you can say that short ears are present in the majority of Batman's most famous and iconic appearances in the comics. He has long ears in his 1. first appearances, 2. all of the iconic and influential Denny O'Neal and Neal Adams stories from the 70s, 3. Strange Apparitions, 4. The Killing Joke, 5. A Death in the Family, 6. The Long Halloween/Dark Victory, 7. Prey and all of the other great stories from Legends of the Dark Knight, 8. Knightfall and all of the main continuity from the 90s, Kingdom Come, etc.

When I think short ears, I just think 60s Batman, Frank Miller, Jim Lee, and the recent Scott Snyder stuff.

Really like this.

I don't need tears to be "short" but I sure don't want comically long ears. On the comic page it can work with the rest of the art style used. On Film? They begin got look silly.

I don't think a single long ear proponent has requested or even suggested such an ear length. I think all of the reference shots used by long ear fans have been in the David Finch to Neal Adams range, which the Burton and Nolan films have shown work really well on film.

Small ears make him look more like a cat.

Keaton's cowl might have not allowed for much movement, but I think the ears were the right height.

I think Christian Bale’s batsuit had a good ear length.

Keaton's cowl might have not allowed for much movement, but I think the ears were the right height.

The lack of mobility in the neck, actually worked in his favor.

It gave him a cadence of movement that was very intimidating, where he would quickly jerk and turn his entire upper body.

Also ironically very midevil Knight like.

I loved that movement from Keaton because of the stiff cowl. As impractical in reality as it maybe but a cape is impractical too. As is covering your ears. Or having long ears. Small suspension of disbelief.

^^ Literally the only way the Forever suit could have looked even cooler.

We might still get them for a scene or two but the eyes will probably be visible the rest of the time. Fine by me.

I'm a little late on this (I see everyone has switched to debating the ear length lol), but what about semi-transparent lenses? Would this be a happy medium for fans?

Could potentially look cool.

Agreed. Maybe some forearm guards and brass knuckles, but that’s about it. No nipples. Add Keaton. And ... drool.

Black and grey concept art was nice too. Hell the suit in matte black looks good too.

God, I love Finch's Batman Inc. suit design. It is the perfect update of the classic 70s-90s design with materials and textures suitable for live action.

 

[Boom]

I can't get past the metal cod piece. Just can't do it.

 

[Kane52630]

What about plastic?

 

[BrollySupersj]

Long ears will always be best to me because they look like horns and play into the idea Batman is a monster, it looks threatening to me. Short ears just make me cringe.

 

[WatchProtect]

I'm not trying to question your taste or anything but wouldn't short ears look more like horns? Daredevil, Hellboy (sometimes has long anyway) lizards, goats, etc. All have short horns

 

[Sawyer]

Give me Derington-Bat pls.

 

[Boom]

He draws a mean Batman.

 

[WatchProtect]

I just want a cloth suit

 

[Invader Joker]

I love his cowl.

 

[TheJumpMan4523]

Give me Derington-Bat pls.

Yep. Plus Robert Pattinson’s jaw line is no joke. It’s easily the best of all the actors to play Batsy. Especially if he keeps a little stubble to further accentuate it ...

This Jae Lee Batman design, and Batman figure actually really look like Robert Pattinson’s natural physique and jaw line and lips.

With the exception of TDK/TDKR and the 66 movie, every Batsuit we've gotten in live action has been a huge bulky rubber suit, I'd like them to take some notes from the kinds of suits we've gotten in the Spider-Man films.
