The BATSUIT Thread

[Tacit Ronin]

You want animated eyes? Supposedly in a serious movie?

 

[Marvel united]

Watchmen says hi. The movie can be serious but still stylized

 

[Gamma Goliath]

You think one day we'll get the white eyes? I mean Deadpool showed it can work

Deadpools representation of the white eyes is very different than what would be required of Batman. It worked for deadpool because the nature of the character is to be partly cartoony. If someone proposed white contacts I'd be all for or it. Or even white lenses that retract from the mask.

It also worked for watchmens Dr Manhattan and deadpools colossus because they were nearly all CG characters. Neither of which were completely human looking. If youre proposing Batman have cgi white eyes and a real human face you're going to dip into that weird uncanny valley. See superman via JL and even Reynolds on GL.

Which Watchmen character had white lenses?

 

[Aximili86]

Man, a whole lot of love for that armored-up Arkham type of look on the hype.

Personally I'd hate anything like that, we already got it in TDK/TDKR anyway. Something more Begins/BVS is the way to go, just sleeker. More, I dunno, Jim Lee or something.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

If/when they redesign the suit for the new actor I'd like them to take inspiration from Lee Bermejo's design:

This

 

[Travesty]

I love Bermejo, but I hate that goddamn Batsymbol. It may just be the most obnoxious symbol I've seen on a Batsuit. I like the rest of the suit, especially the cowl.

Cool statue, though. I've never seen that before.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

I want some blue or yellow in the new costume.

 

[Travesty]

I want some blue or yellow in the new costume.

Yup, with some Oval.

It's science: >>>>

 

[Aximili86]

If it's Jake, definitely something sleeker and classic/traditional like this, especially the shape of the cowl & ears. Even that full-body shot seems a bit too angular/armored with the body though, unfortunately, all the weird lines.

Hell, even just go all-out, yellow/circle symbol and big utility belt & outside-undies and all. t: Unrealistic they'd do it, but it'd rule. Just make the blue black, or just dull it really dark blue if you're wanting something fresh. Maybe make the yellow on the symbol and the utility belt more of a metallic gold or whatever.

Definitely want a gray bodysuit over armor this time around though, kinda like Affleck's regular BvS look just less bulky. That plate-armor stuff in all the Arkham games and modern stuff just looks so overly busy and blahh, takes away from the whole Batman asthetic if he's just covered in pointy angular ****.

Awesomeness:

For the love of God, don’t put that stupid yellow border around the bat symbol. It looks like Bruce went crazy with a Bedazzler.

 

[Aximili86]

Yep, can't have color & theatrical/iconic flair with our superhero costumes. The horror.

'Cause it sucked so hard with Keaton and all.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I'm not talking about the oval. I'm talking about that yellow outline in the second picture.

 

[Aximili86]

Ahh, alrighty then. Yeah, I didn't even notice that there. If you're going the black-logo-on-gray without the oval, yeah, no need for yellow.

 

[Galactus123]

The suit in BvS and JL was great but it would be great to see it with longer ears and a new bat symbol. More like this

 

[Boom]

Batman's new costume in Doomsday Clock has the oval and it looks pretty ****ing rad.

 

[Sawyer]

We haven't gotten the yellow oval in live action since, what? The beginning of Batman Forever? 23 years ago?

Bring it back. Let's spice this thing up.

 

[Boom]

I'm quite serious. Adapt the new costume in Doomsday Clock. It's perfect. I want to spoon it.

[Aximili86]

Look pretty decent, Boom. I could do without the Miller-y ears/cowl, a little too similiar to what we have now with Affleck, but that non-armor-looking gray bodysuit is exactly what they should do.

 

[Sawyer]

That was an earlier cover.

This is what Boom's talking about...

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, that's awesome. Sort of Jim Lee-esque but modern, that'd fit for a Gyllenhaal take perfectly.

If you're set on doing the yellow oval though, I'd just go all-out with the classic comics/Keaton version. Nothing wrong with that new one in the pic really, but the classic one would be cool to see again.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Is this the newest costume from re-birth? I absolutely love it.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Yeah, its awesome. Love the line of the cape attachment.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

It's strange because this costume appears nowhere else in rebirth.
