The BATSUIT Thread

[Invader Joker]

Nah. It was awesome.

 

[Boy Scout]

My number one wish is that Reeves resists the urge to make the costume look like a suit of armor. It’s a look we’ve seen over and over and over again and I’m sick of it. There will obviously need to be a muscle suit underneath to provide the necessary definition, but the suit itself should be fabric-based with little to no exterior padding. The Black Panther (in particular), Daredevil, and Captain America suits are perfect examples of the direction I feel the next suit should go in.

I’m not opposed to CGI enhancements when and where necessary. I don’t really understand why others are. These are movies. Everything is fake. As long as it’s done well (and considering where we’re at right now with the technology, there’s no reason why it wouldn’t be), I’m all for it.

The MoS is an almost perfect example.

Loved the MoS supersuit - simple, natural and organic looking. They went backwards with it after that, as far as I'm concerned. Same with the BvS [and Suicide Squad] batsuit - some issues with padding aside, that was perfect in it's simplicity and then they messed it up with JL.

Sometimes in an attempt to improve on something you inadvertently make it inferior or, in both cases, needlessly complicated and overly-stylized.

A futuristic/realistic version of Adams suit would be aces.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Gorgeous.

 

[batman_1989_]

I think that something close to that drawing would suit Pattinson's body , compared to the hulking Batfleck

 

[Astro13Zombie]

I really like the look of the FFH stealth suit.
It looks protective but it’s not all rubber armor.

I wouldn’t mind something like this for Batman.

And no
I’m not suggesting that it be all black

 

[StarLord]

Not a fan of having all the straps and clips etc on show.

 

[Invader Joker]

It'd be too Nolan-ish

 

[Astro13Zombie]

[Sawyer]

I feel like a long-eared cowl would suit Pattinson's face. Not necessarily Kelley Jones/Tim Sale long-eared, but still.

Agreed. It's time to bring the long ears back for the cowl.

 

[cryptic name]

I don't love everything about this, just throwing it down for the sake of conversation. But I do like the colors and the use of the oval in a suit with a bit of a realistic bent.

This is outstanding!

Alex Ross is the GOAT.

 

[Superherofan123]

Last one is great if it’s actually a black cape and cowl.

Wizard magazine from the 90’s... I had this issue even.

 

[Random490]

The same way Evans looked so skinny in that first Avengers suit.

Like it or not, padding is a necessity.

He doesn't have padding in the other costumes and manages to look bigger despite having somewhat looser clothing. Cap's new costumes from Winter Soldier onward is designed and manufactured so well it highlights his physical with compressing it. Though I agree, subtle padding can go a long way.

I really like the look of the FFH stealth suit.
It looks protective but it’s not all rubber armor.

I think this would make an even better Robin costume. Hell it already has a circle for the "R"

 

[Jekecy]

Wizard magazine from the 90’s... I had this issue even.

It was a multi-page spread on "Ultimizing" the main DC roster. This was at the height of Marvel's newly launched Ultimate comics line, which was a gateway for new readers to jump in.

This is outstanding!

Where is it from?

It's from an issue of Wizard magazine from the early 2000's. They did a feature with some artists coming up with "Ultimate" versions of DC characters.

 

[Nemeres]

Wizard's "Ultimate" Batman has my idea of a good-looking oval.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Thank you!
