Yes, the gunblem resembles the shape of a bat. I still don't like it much...

Exactly. Still the obviously the shape of a bat, just like 1939, even without logo bat ears, and even if the texture is made of melted down gunmetal. Brilliant.

Well, unless Matt Reeves is kind enough to post another photo tomorrow, these next months until Comic-Con are gonna be a hell of all of us arguing as to which colors the suit has and how long the ears are.

Nah, I think they shoot outside soon and then we see the real colors of the suit in motion, and the ears!

Frank Miller is one of the greatest, most influential comic book artists of all time. Legendary artist.

Agreed. But literally trying to translate it to live action is goofy. Thus the fat man padded suits we got in BvS and JL. Where the character looked like the Michelin Man with a bat costume on.

Still would've preferred this tho:

Your lack of Bill Finger disturbs me. Lol

I don't think the Batfleck suit is any better, but I'm not comparing it to that, I'm comparing it to the Batman '89 to Batman Forever and Nolan suits that I liked.

And while you can tell that the symbol is a bat, it doesn't mesh with anything, and it being two separate pieces without ears only adds to that. It looks like he stuck a couple parts from a metal factory into his chestplate. I don't like the idea of them being from the gun, either.

Bill Finger was just a writer right?

I think that's the point.

The shape of the symbol is one thing I actually like.

I swear every single superhero costume reveal is called cosplay


And that Batfleck cowl is ****ing hideous

Didn't he make an actual drawing of Batman based on Kane's sketch, where he established his classic look?

 

[Rorschach2012]

Holy **** that is SEXY didn’t know how bad I wanted the blue. Wow.

Have we gotten any confirmation yet about Kevin Smiths take and if he's cried 20x already?

I wouldn’t consider Bill Finger as one of the iconic Batman artists. He was only ever credited as a writer, even though he did make suggestions for the visual appearance of Batman.

My favorite part of the suit is the new (gun) Bat logo and the chest piece area. The suit looks sleek. I like how his shoulder plate moves with him. The segmental aspect of the suit will likely be much better realized than the TDK suit. The whole thing looks better without the red filter.

As for the cowl, I need to see more but the ears are likely going to make or break it for me. Not digging the total lack of expression in the brow of the cowl, or the sewed/stitched look with all the seams. Looks kind of cheap and flimsy and doesn't get with the sleeker suit. The visible nostrils are a big downgrade for me. i just don't think that looks great in live action. The cowl itself is very jarring and will be something I'll have to get used to.

I have to say.. I like how new and fresh this is, but I can’t say this is my favorite suit. I still love it, but it’s not my favorite yet.

We haven’t even seen enough to determine that. Plus the lighting. It’s just a really, really good tease. That gives you the overall essence of what they’re going for. I’m really hoping we get Bob Kane 1939 style ears. It’s been a long time coming. At least for this first outing, I think it would look awesome. In combination with the title of the movie
