I am I-ron Maaaan, doonoonoonoonoonoonoo I-ron Maaan...

Looks like Robocop.

 

[Boy Scout]

Let this be the first to fix that.

That’d be a perfect fix for Batman Beyond.

That’s also a really cool-looking cowl.

This is SO perfect. I am a huge fan of the shoulder spikes. I absolutely love takes on Batman that really make him look like a gargoyle. The scarier the better (huge fan of the Year 100 vampire teeth), especially when matched with a totally non-lethal approach.

I would agree with this in a less gritty take. Modernized Burton or something along those lines.

We definitely do need some long ass ears this time around. Just look at those nubs.

You guys are talking about horror, gargoyles, and long ears but haven't posted any Kelley Jones

That’s probably because Kelley’s work veers almost into German expressionism. It’s just too far off the scale to be used as a reference point for a live action Batman. Can you imagine those ears?

Absolutely agree that it would be lovely to see a batsuit that’s more creature of the night. Kelley could be a good jumping off point.

 

[Aximili86]

Yeah, that type of Bats would only work if you went full-on Sin City level stylized with the movie.

 

[Invader Joker]

That type of Bats would only work in a Spiderverse-like Batman Animated Film.

No.

I want longer ears. But I don't necessarily want Kelley Jones-level longer ears.

If Matt Reeves goes with a Dark Deco/ noir- themed Gotham, then there is no reason why a light fabric suit wouldn't work.
Either light fabric, or a fabric layer over light padding (like the Youtube Nightwing series).

I think Snyder's team spoilt the Affleck suit by adding random crosshatch texture all over it. The slimmer test-suit looked much better before Batman became Puffman.)

That's basically Burton on steroids

These manips remind me of an old concept based on the Fantastic Four suits. It looked pretty neat, but I don't have it. Anyway, those are also good starting points :

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

^ Love that grey and blue!

It's basically a "Marvel style" Neal Adams Batman. I think it would be different enough from what came before.

Really into this. A slightly darker blue may be better, but I’m really into the idea of the blue.

 

[thebatfan5194]

I think a lot of what the suit will look like is going to depend on how stylized/comic booky the world will be in the movie...

Like if Matt is going for realistic then a suit like the blue and gray “marvel like” one just would look goofy in my opinion, especially during detective scenes...

Poste this in the actor thread, but it probably really belongs here. This suit is obviously past the line of appropriateness, but I'd *love* to see something that really leaned almost this hard into the demon angle. It's a highly organic, leathery suit, but could be also exceptionally high tech and functional. And I know our dude has a sweet utility belt, but I also wonder if the cape could be used as an inventory as well... I always thought that Joker's utility coat at the beginning of The Dark Knight was super sweet. Anyway, this will never happen in a million years, but Reeves could pull it off brilliantly.

Are there other photos of this? Where did you find it?

 

[BattleAngel]

Just went down the rabbit hole. I put Nicholas Hoult in the mask in the image posted above, but Pattinson looks a million times better in this newer one. I mean... go this direction and it would be like “Marvel, who?” - There’s nothing like this in film right now... I would not want to run into that thing in an alleyway...

 

[BattleAngel]

Man I would just kill to see that scene lol. Paul Pope’s Batman is so sweet. Smart, heroic and a living nightmare. A tamed down version of the Batdemon I posted above mixed with this approach would be just what the doctor ordered. Pattinson would so crush that take. Also note the excellent use of expressive white eyes taking us from humor to terror

 

[Shamik121804]

For some reason, I'm thinking we're going to get a low-tech suit. At least for the first movie. Maybe slightly more modern that Gotham by Gaslight. Maybe I just have that stuck in my head, because that reminds me of Sherlock Holmes and so much emphasis has been put on the detective aspect.
