The BATSUIT Thread

Yup, this is literally perfect. I'd rather keep the black and grey as a personal preference, but other than that, absolutely perfect.

Nah, it feels way too bulky and high tech for my tastes. In terms of armoring, the current suit is as far as I wanna go.

i think it's awesome IF you heavily EDIT it. the general look is pretty good, but i hate the overly "jagged" tech look, it's a little too bulky, and it's too black. ideally, a much less segmented/jagged look on a black/gray suit is ideal. the mouth cutout on the concept is pretty perfect (large cut out but just slightly drawn in from the current cowl), and the white lens shape is pretty perfect as long as they could be retractable (come down only during detective mode/battle). greg capullo's batman will always be my ideal (almost mechanized looking gauntlets, a batman cowl that looks like a streamlined helmet, and a simpler almost matte teflon fabric gray suit).

I love that the artist included the brown leather utility belt that I have been banging my drum about. I think this art shows how it does a great job of breaking up the black (or blue) and grey.

However, I can't believe I am going to say this given how turned off of an armour suit I was after the TDK/R lego monstrosity, but I miss the chest plate and shoulder pauldrons here. They just work. They give Pattinson just the right amount of added upper body bulk and width. He doesn't have the same imposing silhouette in this art.

IMHO I don't see why doing CGI corrections or improvements to the suit in certain shots is such a radical idea.

Also, IMHO, no Batsuit has ever looked perfect to me on film. I was generally OK with the Battinson one, save for the wingsuit, which I thought was a bit too much. I mean that's what the cape is for. Otherwise, why have the cape?

The wingsuit folded out from the cape, he also uses his cape to slow his fall.

*Shrug* That's not how it came off.

He pulls something on his back which causes the wingsuit to inflate outwards onto his body. It's not directly shown because it's blink and you miss it, but it's pretty obvious that's the intention especially when he loses the cape when he lands

Sounds like it came out from the suit and not the cape.

Considering he loses the cape when he lands, I wouldn't say so

I'm not sure what you mean.. they showed it in the film, that's the only way it could come off

People fear change. When something's been done the same way for almost 35 years, the prospects of doing it in an entirely new way, can be frightening, because it's unproven.

I dunno about everyone else, but nah I'm not afraid of this concept I just think it'd look bad lmao

I'm sure CGI will improve to a point of where your suggestion would actually look pretty good. We're just not there yet

Yeah, no kidding. We have dozens of pages here devoted to people complaining about mouth opening size and nose-pointedness that proves that point.

No, it's not, at least not on this issue. We have all seen the CGI costumes in the MCU and they leave a lot to desired. They are a known quantity and there is a big movement in the industry to try and move back to practical work on a lot of issues given the limitations of CGI. All techniques have limitations and you are getting push back not because people are used to the established way of doing things, but because practical costuming has less downsides and better fits this version of Batman.

Also, the rave reviews this Batsuit have gotten are precisely because it has tried and done new things. It was not wedded to the foam latex construction we saw from Keaton to Affleck.

As a Mod, I also don't take kindly to posters telling others what they think or presuming their subjective intentions. Keep the discussion clean and to the issue of the merits of the techniques used, not attempting ad hominem attacks suggesting your fellow posters are closed-minded or emotional stunted and therefore their views should be rejected. Continuing along that line of argument will lead to infractions.

 

[TheVileOne]

I'm not calling for an all CG batsuit, but I don't see a problem on paper at least to making CG enhancements or additions as long as they are integrated well and look good.

CG visual effects have been part of filmmaking for decades now. The problem is the application or misuse, not CG itself.

 

[Boom]

I just don't find it necessary. The MCU suits are way too smooth, polished and video-game looking for my tastes.

We don't need Pattinson walking around set with a green neck and CG markers. Just figure out a fabric that works and go from there.

Not speaking specifically to the suit topic, but surely this is a non-issue with regards to the final product.

If it's invisible in the film, the job has been done right. VFX is always used in some of the most mundane applications that are not high value to the consumer, but are used nonetheless to complete the look of the film.

This very movie employed similar methods. The team went through great lengths, with high difficulty, to fabricate what was not there in reality.

Little too much of a step back toward TDK for my taste.

As a big fan of BvS suit concept (more than the execution), I'm looking foward to a more cleaner batsuit look, less armored but still functional. Even if Batfleck's suits were far from perfect, they were the right step to finally bring the classic comic book look to life.

 

[Doctor Jones]

For all my gripes with Affleck, I like we finally got the simplistic armor-less grey suit. The problem is he looks like a giant grey b*ll sack and the ears are too short and the bat logo is too fat. One day I'd like them to go back to this but with the proper changes.

I groaned when Pattinson's armor suit was revealed, because we saw that with Nolan's, but it's not an issue anymore because it's a pretty fantastic design and improves upon the armor look of the Nolan films. It's a great DIY detective Batman outfit. The cowl, the collar, the shoulder pads, best looking cape too, all wonderful.

True, Affleck's suit got the right foundation but executed not so well.
Battinson's suit grew on me SO MUCH that I really don't want a drastically different suit next time.

Same here. Some refinement in that it stays true to the idea of the DIY nature of the costume, where he finds greater tech to improve it, but keep it generally the same.

 

[Boom]

Oddly enough, I prefer the concept art for Affleck's solo film over his comic accurate BvS/JL suits.
