The BATSUIT Thread

[Vaibow]

I gotta say, this does look the most comfortable batsuit out there.

the gauntlets can be use as protection,weapons and tools. I've been in martial artist in years and seen the them in action in real life,you guys probably seen them in movies,games and shows etc. Here are examples from Sonny The Legend Chiba in The Street Fighter movies to Netflix Daredevil to Arkham Origins Ninja and vigilante Batman and Scott Adkins in the underrated Ninjas movies!

The new Batsuit is very "source material accurate" IMO. We've had plenty of posts, Tweets and articles about how the new design draws influence from a number of very different depictions of Batman in a number of comics and video games. However it's not "comic accurate" in the sense that it's not a particularly faithful depiction of Bruce's most traditional Batsuits in the mainline comics. Personally I prefer what Reeves and Co. have done here, as I think it looks more cinematic and better marries with the overall world that he's building for these films.

Moreover... while I do expect that we'll see the Batsuit evolve as the trilogy progresses, I'm going to be honest here and say that I think fans who want a more "comic-y" Batsuit are in for continued disappointment. The suit might become a bit more streamlined, but it will most likely be a continued evolution of the starting point seen here, much like previous live action depictions of Batman have been.

Matt Reeves and his team have shown us what the general visual style of what this new world of Batman will look like. It will inevitably change and evolve over the course of the films, but the basics are here for us to see.

Ironically, I usually want comic accurate suits in cbm and Batman is my top favorite hero but while I like a lot of his comic suits...I much prefer the all black armored suits from B'89-TDK! Batfleck's suit is very comic accurate and great but among my favorite bat suits of all time are the Burton suits, Arkham Origins, Arkham Knight and Telltale..which are all black and armored.

So this suit, I love!

The suit has grown on me. I'm getting Injustice vibes.

I completely agree. I think the traditional comic designs for Batman work perfectly in that medium and translate beautifully to animation, but it's much harder to bring to life exactly in live action. IMO there needs to be some level of visual interpretation of the costumes in this medium to better immerse audiences into the world. And interestingly enough, I think this is generally only the case for members of the Bat-Family.

There's justifications for being more overtly comic accurate with a lot of Batman characters outside the family. For example, Catwoman doesn't need to wear a ton of body armor, because she's typically a cat burglar. Characters like Joker, Two Face and Penguin are all essentially crime bosses or insane criminals. Ra's Al Ghul has the Lazarus Pit, so if he gets shot, what's it to him? So on and so forth.

But then with the Bat-Family, they're all just human beings in fit shape and extreme training, but lack superpowers and are on a constant war against crime taken to extraordinary heights. Really the only member of the family that I think could genuinely get away with not wearing any immediately obvious form of body armor in their costumes in a live action film is Cass.

Still not a fan of this suit. But I hope we get something better in the sequel

I have certain nitpicks, but at least the Batmobile pics are easing my mind in regards to the cowl.

 

[TheBattinson]

No it wasn’t. Not during scenes.

Keaton told us it was uncomfortable in reality but you can’t see that in scenes.

He factored the mobility factor into movement in his performance. Giving his body movements language and intimidation.

Bale said TDK suit was more comfortable and mobile. The cowl gave Bale headaches which he used to be feral or angry. He only looked like he couldn’t breathe in Rises.

We don’t know how comfortable or uncomfortable this new suit is to wear. There’s nothing to base it on. It won’t matter.

I would love to see this as a visual,

 

[Zorro]

I updated my batmobiles and batsuits rankings in the lounge (bat world section) thread and it kinda surprised me that I didn't add the new suit to my top 5 list and not sure if it'd even make my top 10 but I like it. It's just not amazing! It ain't terrible but just alright. Hopefully Batman upgrades in a sequel.

The batmobile is my 2nd favorite though but Burton's still king after all this time

God I love this suit so much.

What's not to like? Looks damn great.

 

[Zorro]

Don't know who made it or what but I really hope that one is exactly it.

 

[lujho]

Probably because it's uncomfortable for fight scenes, so it's easier to just remove that.

Except they can keep it back over the shoulder for action if they want. They can even swap it out for one that's permanently pinned back so it won't flop over by accident.

 

[lujho]

Do you have a full pic of the manip in your avatar? It looks perfect.

Not a full body pic, but a higher res one.

 

[Hotwire]

You know what he means.

I do. He wants his favorite comic version to be the inspiration for this suit.

[Gamma Goliath]

Hmm not sure what to think. The mouth is almost indistinguishable so I dont know if i can believe the lens thing.

No. it doesn't. It's just the white of his eyes because it's not an angle whete you could see his pupils. Plus we very clearly see his creepy eyes in the camera test and there's zero way Reeves is getting rid of them.

 

[antsman41]

I want to see Dustin Nguyen adapt this suit onto his drawing style.

God I love this suit so much.

Looks amazing here. Proportions are everything.

This is the perfect translation of the grey bodysuit. Maybe someday.

Hmm, just to play devil's advocate - if there were a type of lense, it looks like it would be part of the cowl and not on Pattinson's actual eyes. And it looks like they're translucent so you can see the eyes when not in use. Both versions of that stunt cowl had them but I thibk we all ruled it out as stunt meaures added for practicallity

I also think it's premature to completely rule them out based on the notion Reeves would never get rid of his eyes, because for starters he hasn't. But that doesn't mean with 100& certainty he would never have them in a handful of scenes

If this cowl does indeed have lenses, that would bring this suit from a 3 to an 8 for for me

The cowl is made of leather and in the camera test you can literally see his eyelashes sticking out.


I really don't see any way in which you could incorporate lenses, or why you even should for that matter.

Maybe that's one difference between the final cowl and this one, who knows? I'm not gonna rule it out. It would be a wonderful feature to have in this new cowl.

I've seen many manips That photoshop the white eyes on him and they all look amazing
