The BATSUIT Thread

[The Guard]

Yes, it’s a stunt suit, but I think a lot of this is the suit. I don’t love it from an aesthetic standpoint. I do love what it says about what the movie is. Piecemeal, a bit rugged.

It’s definitely different, and it gets some points for that, but are is some very familiar aesthetic stuff here, similar to the Arkham games, Rebirth stuff...it blends fairly well.

That isn’t just an Adam West cowl, it’s a Golden Age inspired one, with maybe a hint of Gotham By Gaslight. Those are lenses…don’t love the shape. Wonder if they’re retractable, or if they're even going to be there in the movie.

The bat ears on the bike are awesome. The retro militaristic thing is kind of cool. He’s in a war zone this time out. Zero Year. I dig that.

I’m wondering what the cape is going to be, and if those raised portions of the shoulder armor have something to do with holding/propping it up in a certain way.

Now to sit back and wait for people to compare this thing to other suits it’s not actually very similar to, as is tradition.

Thanks for posting these! I wish more would google more and complain less. Then they would know its inspired by Zero Year and Arkham Origins!

Its different while also clearly homaging plenty of other Batman suits and stories.

As others have said too it also obviously shows Reeves and the rest of the team of the film have a strong vision.

I had the same reaction haha first thing that came to mind was the new Robocop suit

It literally looks NOTHING like Robocop:

 

[TheJumpMan4523]

To me it’s got most in common with Year Zero, Arkham Games, Year 100 vibes, with some Gotham by Gaslight sprinkled in ...

Looks the most practical of them all. All those pouches, belts, gadgets hanging on him, and they aren't for decoration. Doesn't look restrictive. Legit combat armor that can take punishment. Long ears like I hoped. Non-muscular breastplate. Balanced proportions - not too fat or too skinny. Loving it so much.

Bravo, Matt Reeves.

I love pouches and compartments and "gear" too. As long as its not 90's Rob Liefeldish then it looks pretty cool to me.

I think this Batman looks like someone you don't want to run into if you're a criminal.

 

[Steyin]

Meh.

[Arachnerd]

Again, gotta love those insightful opinions.

Why do they need to give an explanation of why they don't like it?

 

[CJ]

It doesn't look appealing to me. Not much more to say than that. Maybe it will look better when the first trailer drops. But right now, meh.

 

[BatLobster]

It...kinda looks like he IS wearing hockey pads.

I'll obviously wait till I see the final product in the film, and this definitely reads as a proto-suit to me.

 

[Last Of Krypton]

Not a fan of the new Batsuit. I do get the impression that this is a prototype.
You can see the Baman zero year influence.

 

[BrollySupersj]

Nah, not feeling this. Oh well.

 

[Blind Bat]

I guess it's just a matter of opinion but I like the suit. And the cowl is growing on me. The ears can still look weird at certain angles but otherwise not bad. To each their own.

And holy cow did I forget how bad the Gotham Batsuit was. What were they thinking?

 

[Mindreaper21]

I totally dig the suit. The way I see it, Batman upgraded his suit and gadgets for the occasion. Like he always does. Another thing is that this will look much different on film and with Pattinson in the suit. I’m getting Gotham by Gaslight vibes from it, so I don’t have any major complaints. Pattinson’s Batman is going to be Metal.

Yeah, it was bad!

 

[Enriquespy]

There is something about the ears that kinda make them look like antennas? Or am I crazy?
Y, know, like alien antennas.

As much as I enjoyed Gotham, that suit just pissed me off.
It seems like someone designed it in 5 minutes.

Well that's four minutes longer than I'd have guessed.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

He seems to have a leg holster for his grapple gun.

I’m just loving this suit more and more with every look.
