The BATSUIT Thread

[Boom]

Does anyone have a screenshot of the underlayer of Affleck's suit in JL?

Why? The only way you know of the racoon eyes, are with pictures like this. The makeup is supposed to be apart of the cowl. It was a genius idea on Burton's part to do that.

I hate the necessity of it, you can always see it on close-ups of Batman's face or eyes.

What I really want is for them to forgo a black rubber cowl altogether. Either do something like Daredevil/Cap's mask, prosthetics for a more emotive performance or CGI for just the eyes like Deadpool.

 

[Boom]

Much better.

Yea, time for the panda eyes to go. I really hope Reeves completely reinvents the engineering for the Batsuit. Instead of stiff rubber cowl, we get a tight leathery that is flexible and can be pulled back.

It was until Keaton had to remove the cowl that one time on screen and they had to forgo the eyeliner in that scene

Not a problem nowadays obviously as they can digitally add it and still do the scene in one shot if they want.

Here's an edit someone did using Daredevil suit as a reference. Obviously the cowl should be different but I really like that material for the body. Looks protective but not overcomplicated.

Daredevil is a good starting point but I'd hope for a better execution of the concept.

If it's detailed and padded around like this, giving the suit visual texture and personality to it, then a fabric based suit could work. But a true 1:1 "comic accurate" costume just wouldn't look very good on the big screen IMO.

Obviously we all have our own opinions... but personally I genuinely think that's the single most boring option they could go with. I've seen all sorts of different fan-made Batsuits that are comic accurate and fabric based online and frankly, I've never really liked the look of them. They don't look genuinely 'cinematic' to me, no matter how well you light the scene or anything.

It always looks like a six foot plus man in tights to me. IMO the padding, the armor or more mechanized details we see in the films and modern video games- comic inaccurate as they might be- typically give the suits more detail and texture to them to where Batman looks more uncanny and frightening.

Personally speaking, I just think the 'fabric based comic adaptation Batsuits' only work in comics and animation. They're different forms of visual media.

Generally I agree on the Cosplay suits. There's only the odd exception, like Julian Checkley's Arkham-based one which in fairness is ridiculously well done, so well done it made it to the Guinness book of Records.

Daredevil was limited to its TV show budget though. I'm sure if they use the same materials/philosophy but with 100,000 dollars more it'll be executed better.

This looks like a cross between the Nolan and Snyder suits.

 

[Abudefduf]

Wouldn't retractable lenses (which many people seem to want, me included) make the raccoon makeup kind of superfluous?

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

I want the cape to drape around him, instead of ending at the shoulders.

Exactly! Which is detailed, textured and armored.

There's a reason the newer Batman video games with semi-realistic graphics go out of their way to give the Batsuits more detail and armor-y type designs.

Not a fan of Robo Bats. I don't care for the Origins suit or the Arkham Knight

You mean like Cap's suit in Winter Soldier?

I like that the costume actually looks like clothing when it's on a rack, unlike Affleck's which miraculously maintained its shape like it still had a person in it.

@Invader Joker Here's a couple more DD-Batman manips



I like the DD idea for the cowl quite a bit

 

[TheGuy]

Pattinson could actually end up looking like that, physically.

This one is cool af

The only thing I would change is the belt. It's too... yellow.

 

[antsman41]

I just want this...

 

[cryptic name]

-Okay, Ben, this is your big shirtless scene where Bruce is vulnerable and maybe there's a little hint of possible romance with Diana.

-Actually, I'm not working out for this so rewrite it so Batman wears a suit under his suit.

Lose the jigsaw puzzle and I'd be onboard as well

I've been watching that scene on Youtube repeatedly recently. It hits the right notes emotionally, honestly.
