I'd take this over Batman looking like a robot Macgyver.
Really there's no right or wrong with this because it always comes down to the execution. Not just the materials and how they reflect different lights, but the design of sets, post production color correction, and the intended tone. Though I do feel blue would present more challenges.
That was a badly composed picture. In fact pretty much all the promo picture for that suit had me thinking "Really, you went with that image? They're weren't any better angles?" Kind of reminds me of the first image for Superman Returns, that suit had a lot of problems but that first image took all the problems and made them look worst. I feel like studios across the board could do a much better job during the official photoshoots
This is pretty much what I want. Good balance of sleek and power, Great proportional figure. A perfect mix of practical looking material while still being inline with how he looks across medium. Only nitpick are the dark shoulders I feel like they would stand out like a sore thumb. And maybe segment the abs to give the actor a but more flexibility.
I wouldn't mind it is it was subtle, not like BvS which I would describe as "fat abs" as in perfectly defined ab muscles over a layer of fat.
Blue and grey would look dope in this:
Me too. The Batman movie in my head almost always apes the Blade Runner aesthetic.Personally, I'd like them to just snatch the whole aesthetics and score of Blade Runner/Blade Runner 2049 for this movie. They're neo-noir anyway. But that probably wouldn't happen
I think with Pattinson being chosen you need to lean in to his body type in terms of what suit you pick. Yes im sure he will pack on some muscle for the role but I just don't ever see him being a big burley guy so I would avoid putting him in suits like (The Dark Knight Returns Suit or The Arkham Suit) as it probably won't look as good as something more streamlined as he has more of an athletic build than a muscular one.
Based on that my top picks for the suit would be
1. Jim Lee's Hush Suit
It may be my absolute favorite Batsuit ever so it had to make the list, not only that but the use of the dark blue colouring could make for a different aesthetic look that we've previously seen from Batman on the big screen.
2. The Batman Noel Suit
This if done by the right costume designer could give most Batman fans the best of both worlds. You could blend the real world almost ready look of the Nolan trilogy suits with the drama of the Burton suit with the cape flowing over the shoulders.
3. The New 52 Suit (Only when drawn by Greg Capullo)
Overall I think this one has the sleekest design of the three and I think its the one that Pattison's frame would best suit the most as the thinner design is more optimal for an athletic built guy than a muscular one. I know he's going to go to the gym for this role but he's just not someone I ever see being bulky.
The Nolan ones (primarily the Begins suit) did it as well.
I'm not going to miss it. It's a Comic-Con. Not a Hollywood Superhero-movie Advertisement Con.
I actually have a feeling we're going back to all black, tactical, and ugly.
I've always been fond of David Finch's Batman Incorporated suit. Some variant of that, albeit with reduced musculature, would do nicely IMO.
I want something down to earth and I would love a modern re-interpretation of the classic Neal Adams design. My ideal would be something like this Finch-design with a little bit more practical belt:
