The BATSUIT Thread

[TheGuy]

I also hope that this new batsuit is completely different from anything we have seen on screen before.

Which is why there should be blue/dark blue.

Which is why there should be blue/dark blue.

I’m with you 100% mate.

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.

Julian’s is extremely well done for sure! Actually functional too in terms of gadgets etc. However I prefer something along the lines of Alan Fay’s cosplays. His cosplay’s as well as Clark Bartram’s suit show that the comic accuracy is in fact 100% achievable!

That's the picture I used for my manip with Pattinson's face.

My only ask is something that isn't overly armored. I hate the way the Arkham Knight plasticky plated suits look.

Never said it wasn't achievable. Just that it wouldn't look very impressive on the big screen IMO.

I don’t know, I think with the right minds behind it, it could. Like I said, the examples given could look really good, Dead End practically nailed the look, though I think the suit could have benefited from some lite realistic definition, as opposed to the overly unrealistic sculpt Jobs we usually get.

THIS! I hate the armored look in Arkham Knight and I even despise TDK and TDKRises suit. To me, the more visible armor just detracts from the theatricality and creature of the night asthetic he’s going for in the first place. Though if they do decide to go more armorEsque, then I think something along the lines of Noel wouldn’t look terrible I suppose.

 

[Manasrepublic]

What about built in batarangs as opposed to him having a pouch for them? Should he shoot them from his wrists like Azrael? That’s one particularly bad ass thing about Azrael’s costume I loved when he was fighting Bane, the way he shot the batarangs out of from his wrists

 

[Gamma Goliath]

You lose a little bit of the iconography with that. Batman throwing a batarang is almost like spider-man doing his hand gestures to shoot webs.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Oh yes that's my favorite suit to go with the oval symbol

I'm not for or against the yellow oval. Whatever works.

just take the grey from Snyder's batsuit plus the blue from Cap in Winter Soldier

I appreciate everyone's enthusiasm for the blue but c'mon. If you want a distinctive Batman look for a noir film, you can hardly do better than this. It's different, it's bold, it's a perfect homage to the character roots and it's a design we haven't seen in any Batman media as the "standard" in well over 70 years. A suit like this in live action, with the textures of the Daredevil suit would make everyone, casual fans, young fans, old fans, fans that want something unique, fans that want something classic go crazy with the first picture.

You use blue I can 100% guarantee you there's gonna be a huge portion of people *****ing about it upon the first picture... and I'm gonna be one of them lol. Batman looks better in black especially if you're gonna put him in a noir of all things. Maybe have some dark blue on the interior of the cape but that's it.

 

[FatRobin]

Yes please... In my ideal scenario, we would get this suit for his first film and then it'll develop into his classic look later in the sequels.

 

[Invader Joker]

I legitimately don't think there's a single Batman fan that'd complain about a well executed Golden Age inspired design. It just looks extremely badass and distinctive... if you release an image of Pattinson wearing a suit like that, all the haters will be silenced.

That's the ticket. That's what I hope they go for

I've just never been a fan of the long ears.

 

[FunkMiller]

Make a live action version of this the first thing we see of Battinson, and the world will go mad.

I would not want that cowl for an entire film, I'm not a fan of the design and there's a reason why it's pretty much never used. However, I would love to see it in the batcave and have him wear it in any scene taking place in the first few months of his career. I want a ton of little nods like that.

 

[rockandrollsoul]

Not a fan of that look. I'm cool with long or short ears, but I don't like them flared out. This would be my ideal:

 

[Boom]

The Kane/Finger ears are tricky. If you don't pull them off just right, they make the head look too large and thus create an odd looking silhouette.

That's the Affleck cowl...

It would have been nice if the Arkham games had a feature that allows for customization of the batsuit so we can have an actual output for our ideas.

That'd be dope.

Let's petition Rocksteady Studios and WB Games Montreal then!

 

[Travesty]

The Kane ears are laughably bad. There's a reason people don't use them.

 

[Invader Joker]

It's all about proportions. You gotta use the right measurements. Not too large, not too small, put them at the right angle, they totally can work.
