Those ears…This ****ing suit.
Yeah, it's due to a very effective use of texture and materials. The cape, cowl, and chest emblem have glossier leather/metallic finishes which looks nice and deep black when under the same lighting the charcoal bodysuit looks more flat and grey. Alternatively, under other lighting, the tones look much closer, but the textures and different reflectivity still give it a distinct tow-tone colour scheme.I love it more and more. Dark gray looks great as it sometimes blends with the black of the scene, and other times it stands out like classic gray of comics suit. Cowl still looks weird sometimes, through.
I love how he can go from lean, agile, and spectre-esque to hulking and monstrous depending on the framing:Look at the movement in this thing.
Yeah, and sometimes even reminds me of Schumacher movies. I mean, fighting scenes haha they didn’t look so bad (specially in Forever), so here is kinda of an improvement.Yeah, it's due to a very effective use of texture and materials.

We’ve never seen a live action Batman move like this.Look at the movement in this thing.
Not possible. The mid-cheek mouth opening from the comics doesn't work in live action. It will cause weird gaping and other issues during speech and movement unless it is hard, hard rubber like back in the Keaton days. The wide opening on Battinson's cowl is the closest thing possible to the classic comics look, which is why Alex Ross, with his ultra realistic style drew the mouth openings like Pattinson's. It allows the edge of the opening to anchor around the jawline.I’d just shorten the mouth opening. And make the chest symbol plain black.

Yeah, the Burton/Schumacher suits probably had the mouth openings closest to what most people think of in the comics in terms of shape and size (at least from the front), but they were highly artificial. They only didn't have weird gaping and other issues because they were made of pretty tight and inflexible rubber/foam latex, which caused a whole bunch of problems in terms of mobility and range of motion (and still had occasional gaping issues). And as that side profile shot of Keaton shows, the sideline of the opening is actually very different from how it is drawn in the comics:Even Keaton kept the mouth gap significantly larger honestly.
And with good reason. Smaller mouth openings honestly just look worse
Also, the way the logo doesn’t have bat ears… perfect.
Yeah I know, I'd only shorten it a little, definitely not like Bale and Affleck's. It's just that sometimes Pattinson's cowl looks weird, specially in front, with the big skull area and wide mouth opening.Not possible.
