The BATSUIT Thread

[Vaibow]

Leaning on the horror aspects of Batman is something I’d like to see done more.

“Criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot”.

The Begins port scene is the only sequence on film that really leans into the horror trope, and stands as one of the best because of this.

Give us a suit that reflects this. No bulky WWE wrestler... but a swift, horrific monster.

I think the minute we start to see the suit, predominantly what's under the cape, in light, it loses the appeal - the more secretive it is, the less we see, due to shadows would help that - the cape needs to be draped over and down the chest, sure, the utility belt when called upon can be featured in a close up, but even for the viewer, the suit needs to be a mystery of sorts. The problem with Nolan is he had too many day scenes, once we see it's bruce in a suit, it stops being 'batman'.

Nolan's mouth opening was too small and almost manufactured looking with it's angles - batflecks looks organic - minor details like that.

I could even take Burton's suit with batflecks cowl.

Yeah, those are pretty much Snyder/Affleck in every way that matters. ^ Been there, done that.

can you be clearer...

That top one is lovely aside from the emblem

That's the only thing I would change. Maybe throw the oval on there with a faint/muted yellow.

 

[Whatupman]

I'm all for bringing more of a mystery and horror element to Batman and how they shoot the batsuit. I still think Burton did it best in his first one.

I remember people edited that suit and added the oval and they added the ‘89 buckle and it looked nearly perfect

 

[Boom]

M1ll3r is right. Frankly, the less we see of the actual suit itself, the better. The silhouette is the most important aspect of Batman's iconogography, and that's driven by the cape and cowl. Get those right and you've done 90% of the work.

I don’t think Batman has ever looked cooler than he did here. Perfection. I wouldn’t mind a return to an all black suit so long as we get the yellow oval.

Two things I definitely want for the new suit: longer ears and yellow oval.

One thing I always thought was odd about the '89 suit is the fact that the muscle sculpt ends at his side. Like it's basically a flap of sculpted rubber that they glued onto the front of the suit but didn't bother to sculpt any musculature for his sides or lower abdomen



It's almost like a hockey vest

Since this is early Batman we're talking about..

One can dream...

I think that the purpose was to make Keaton and his stuntmen move better

I actually quite like the second one. I wouldn't mind a suit inspired by Bob Kane/Bill Finger at all. It's fitting considering this is Batman in his early years

(I actually own this figure btw)

I love the cowl and bat symbol on the original design

Ah, I guess this makes more sense. But then again, Begins had a full torso sculpt

I think it could have also been the fact that his cape envelops his body. Maybe we weren't meant to see the sides or back.

that figure looks great

Yeah, Mezco makes some great stuff. Cost me almost $100 dollars but it was certainly worth it.

They did an Affleck too but I'm not a fan of that figure

Whoa! That’s amazing!! I wouldn’t complain if the new suit looked like that. I’d shrink the belt a little bit though and tone the color down a bit

 

[Black Narcissus]

Unpopular opinion, but always wanted to see these ears and cowl on the screen.

 

[Boom]

That's pretty ****ing sweet.

 

[Black Narcissus]

A bit of batman 1939.

 

[Boom]

Just get the cape right this time. Please.

 

[Invader Joker]

I'd love those ears.

 

[Invader Joker]

A cape like this.
