The BATSUIT Thread

[BatsAndNights]

I have people arguing with me left and right on facebook swearing that the above Reddit info I posted is the real deal. Sounded way too good to be true to me in the first place. When people don't like something, they REALLY want to believe anything to support their own opinions and go out of their way to prove it.

People on FB and Twitter unironically believe in the Snyder Cut. That should tell you everything.

The collar is my favorite part of the suit I definitely hope that wouldn't' be changed in an upgraded one. It really does make this one stand out from other film versions.

Dude that is a bizarre group of people. Frankly, Snyder himself isn't helping.

I agree in wanting the collar to stay. It has a strange feeling of looking kind of vintage, but it doesn't clash with the modern look of the body armor with flexible joints.

I get why Snyder's feeding into it, I'd do the same in the same situation. What annoys me are the people who genuinely believe that Snyder's version of these characters are the most comic accurate, when they just look the most accurate.

Literally

They'd genuinely rather Ben Affleck drank himself to hell for a Batman movie than have the audacity to consider someone else trying to "outdo" BvS.

Snyder's characterization of Batman and the entire thing for the character was wrong. A murdering, old Batman isn't the way to open a film universe. People want a great, heroic, detective Batman not a villain.

I would've been accepting (not okay with, but accepting) if Snyder gave the killing as much weight as it should've had. If it was portrayed as Batman crossing the line and it leading to a redemption arc after he's inspired again by Superman, I would've been fine. In fact, my belief was that Snyder intended that, but didn't make it apparent enough and left it too interpretative.

Then he basically said that anyone who believes Batman shouldn't kill is a naive moron who lives in a dreamworld.

Ahem.

**** Zack Snyder.

In terms of the cape, I personally content with whatever they go with, I think the cloth cape moves a lot better BUT in terms of pure visuals I thought it was a bit of an eye sore in some of the slower stationary shots, purely because it is fabric & stood out from the suit(s) too much because it near looked like velvet.

The leather looks a lot better in the slower shots IMO & I think it would make more sense if it did look more heavy duty than lightweight. If you look at Batman 1989, during some of the fight scenes it moves like a curtain, with weights added to it. I think they should go with a leather cape, but CGI it for all fight scenes so it flows & looks lighter than it probably is, like they did in BvS.

I've realized Snyder (as other people often have said) can do some wonderful visual things but putting together an entire direction and vision for a story and in this case, film universe....man...he just misses.

I’m still kind of surprised that nobody in BvS thought that a film with two investigative journalists and a dead Robin wouldn’t use the journalists as an excuse to explain Batman being so embittered and violent by tying it into having a dead son, at minimum, if not a Batman who’s estranged from Dick and dealing with Jason’s death and Babs’s crippling.

if you want old DKR Batman, explain him more than Miller did, or just don’t do DKR Batman.

I really like this take on it. It tones down the tech / armor aspect, which I hope the actual suit replicates.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Found this on Instagram.
There’s no telling what the ears will look like but this seems right and I love them.
I’d be really happy with this.

 

[Invader Joker]

These seem like good approximations too.

 

[craigaat]

Didn't Pattinson himself say that the cowl looked like the Adam West version?

Uh. No. I've been reading all his interviews since he got cast as Batman.

It's not even the killing that bothers me. Its that everything Snyder does feels so artificial and fake. Then somewhere down the line it all started looking hideous too. I thought Cavill and his costume were fine in MOS but he was extremely unappealing to me in BVS. Batfleck was such a shallow character not just in terms of personality but in other areas too. His fans insist he's the best Batman but what exactly was Ben's performance? He needed a voice modulator and fake muscle suit to appear legit. The fight scene was all stunt men. Affleck himself played a drunk, womanzing killer with a motivation that never clicked. Batfleck is imo worse than Clooney and Kilmer. Beyond the basic visual trappings there is literally nothing "Batman" about Batfleck character.

I don't want to see battle damage effect to the suit.

I remember Snyder saying his Batman wouldn't care about bad guy collateral damage, like if Batman knocked a grenade out of a thug's hand, he wouldn't care if some bad guys got blown up...
Then in the first Batman action scene, when investigating the arrival of the kryptonite, Batman drives through a couple of SUVs, and blows one away with a Gatling gun. So what we get is a Batman who uses military hardware to kill guys for a customs violation.

Love the B:TAS feel from this poster.

I honestly think that was BS from Snyder to try and save his ass after BvS practically bombed in terms of expectations and what it got (imagine the first movie to ever feature both Batman and Superman not making a billion dollars. Seriously.) His more recent comments are probably closer to the truth of the matter.

Nice illustration in today's issue of Batman #89 of armor under what normally looks like cloth for the Batsuit. Well at least armor around his knee.

Almost like Snyder is bad at this whole story thing...

I'm still mortified they thought HE was the man to give the keys to the kingdom of a whole cinematic universe.
