I like elements of that - the roundedness of the pecs, the somewhat anatomical look of the armour without looking TOO anatomical. But there are definitely parts that are far too "techy"/sci-fi for my linking. Much of what I like about Pattinson's suit is how UN-sci-fi it looks.
Yes! I really like the integration of the existing torso design into a sleeker form. I'd definitely prefer the cape they used in the movie though - just make it so that it can close in front.
Normally, I've hated the fan art concept for this movie and ways they propose to improve this suit. I personally think the actual movie desigj is phenomenal. For instance, normally, I would be bothered by the shoulder pauldrons as well, but they just fit the homemade aesthetic of this suit and this Gotham so well.
I've never been a big fan of the blue look, personally.... but I did think it looked sharp in the Justice League posters. A colour like this is something I could warm up to. I just don't think it fits this universe based on what we've seen... and would somewhat betray the stealth applications that black brings.
Agreed. I didn't mention it since I think it goes without saying at this point.
There is actually a common colour in tailoring that matches that description, it is called midnight blue. It is a very dark navy that looks blacker than black under artificial light. It became common for quality tuxedos when fluorescent lighting was invented in the early 20th century. It made real black look greenish, whereas dark blue would look black. Under strong light it will look blue. Most of James Bond's tuxedos are actually midnight blue. A great modern example is Craig's Skyfall tux.True, but the reason why I like the City suit's blue is because you can have that
and then with a simple change in lighting, make it basically black
Even though the actual suit is this weird blue, bordering on purple
It's the best of both worlds and if they wanted to do blue (I personally would rather keep it black and grey though), I think this would be the best way to do it

At night under artificial light, it looks black:
But under bright natural light/daylight, it is clearly navy:
Reeves isn't Nolan and I don't think any forced expositionary explanation for the change would be necessary at all. Reeves is big into showing, not telling. The Batsuit already tells quite the story with the scars on the cowl, and cobbled together, homemade appearance. If Bruce has tweaked his cowl or cape (maybe replacing the somewhat unsuccessful wingsuit with a more advanced glider cape), that is all we need to know or see. New gadgets or functionality would explain by showing that Bruce has continued to tinker and improve his suit. Aesthetic changes would be a natural byproduct of that.
I dunno, is it though? The type of blue we are discussing will look black most of the time. It would be a very subtle change. I don't think it would be jarring at all. Just like how most people don't notice when Bond is wearing a midnight blue or a true black tuxedo. The only people who usually notice are the dandies like me.
Clooney's Batsuit was blue and no one batted an eye:

It was the least of people's concerns or complaints.
The Kilmer suit had nipples as well. To be honest, they only became an issue because Batman&Robin was a massive over the top cheesefest. If people liked the rest of the movie, I don't think the suits should have been of much concern outside of the diehard fans. The Dark Knight suit is godawful, but most people don't care because the rest of the Nolan films are amazing.True but that's because there were more...pressing issues that people had with the suit.
When the suit has literal nipples on it and is worn by George Clooney doing his best George Clooney impression, I think it being blue becomes less of an issue lmao
I’m always shook by how huge the eyeholes on his cowl were.Clooney's Batsuit was blue and no one batted an eye:

The problem is trying to do it practically at all. We're living in an age now where studios replace and/or design whole costumes through VFX:if attempted in reality, at best you'd just have the thick as hell and inflexible Keaton cowl
At absolute worst, you'd have this
