Iron Man The Suit!!!!! [Mark III-Red and Gold Awesomeness]

[Naite22]

The suit looks cool, design and eveything! But this is STILL just a production still! I wanna see the suit IN THE ACTUAL MOVIE! That pic above is obviously computermade!

Actually it's been discussed and the image above, while no doubt Photoshop enhanced, is NOT a CGI image.

So you think it would be more realistic for Batman, in the bad part of whatever town you live in, to run around in the dark wearing leotards than body armor?

If I decided to run around at night fighting criminals like Batman I would have to make a decision....do I want to be protected or do I want full mobility to be able to fight...and If I was gonna use a cape to hangglide I'd want to be pretty lightweight.

Some things that work ok in the comic book world just do not translate well into a real world setting. Brightly colored costumes and capes, for one thing. At least Batman's cape is functional, but Storm looked silly wearing a cape in the X-Men movies (and thank goodness they WEREN'T wearing yellow spandex).

Brightly colored costumes(which wasnt the arguement..the arguement was the armor) seemed to work for Spider-man, Superman, Daredevil(say what you will about the movie but the costume was pretty faithful).

Though i agree with you to a large extent, it's not beyond a character like bruce wayne who's supposed to be a genius, to design some sort of light weight, flexible body armor that would fit under a regular costume, and fit to his body. it's just how the character is portrayed.

I though Wayne wasn't so much the inventive/tech genius and that he basically used his vast resources to have brilliant people make stuff he could use, sometimes unknowingly and in the case of Lucius Fox, knowingly. Thought his big-brain claim to fame was the whole "world's greatest detective" thing which is a different kind of intellect.

I strongly disagree. Ghost Rider was very accurate to his comic counterpart in looks, but I wouldn't say that that Director got 50% of that movie right.

GR looked great but the movie was very bad.

On the other hand you have Nolan who, while changing Batman's look, produced arguably the best live action Batman movie to screen.

I'd have to say I'd rather have a slightly altered suit and great story as apposed to a great suit and a crappy story.

Nolan got the screen play right. It might well have been the best screen play for any superhero movie.

However, Nolan can't direct action to save his live. The action scenes were downright dreadful and paled in comparison to scenes like Spidey's train fight with Doc Ock.

I think with a superhero movie you have to balance both aspects, and you can't ignore the fact that for a new batman movie the designers were very unimaginitive basically creating another iteration of the Burton version of Batman. The new version for TDK is even worse. For all the people complaining about the Green Goblin being too power ranger, for them not to say the same thing of the new batsuit is beyond hypocritical.

we still dont know how the suit will look in the movie after color gradient.

in the first official pic the colors are like in SR. they are desaturated. in the CC clip when he is flying they are bright. but it was daytime above the clouds.

there is still a cahance that in the finished movie the colors will be more desaturated.

Bright or dark it's still Power Rangerish......

and what was wrong with GR????
I thought it was a solid film
how come we cant have a great story and a great suit?? Why must Batman run around in armor???
Why must they change the characters for no reason???

What was wrong with GR? Well, it had plot holes that I could drive a truck through. And also, when making a movie about a character that basically has only stuck around so long because he looks cool, you better deliver good fight scenes. The fights in GR were horrible. He beat everyone in like two minutes. Very anitclimatic.

Now, I actually wanted a more comic book accurate Batman costume. And Nolan was very close with BB, if he had just lightened the bodysuit a bit, or darkened the Batsymbol, that suit basically would have looked nearly identical to the comic suit. I have no idea why he felt the need to go "swat team Batman" on us this time.

But that's not the point, I was making the point that, I don't think translating the look of the character to film makes 50% of a good movie. I don't place looks that high. As I said, I'd rather have a good screenplay and a "meh" costume then a sweet costume and a "meh" screenplay.

Nolan got the screen play right. It might well have been the best screen play for any superhero movie.

However, Nolan can't direct action to save his live. The action scenes were downright dreadful and paled in comparison to scenes like Spidey's train fight with Doc Ock.

I completley agree about the fight scenes in BB. I really disliked those. They were choppier then the Bourne fights! If Nolan just pans out the camera a bit, like they did in Bourne Ultimatum (which by the way has one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen) the fights would look so much better.

I wasn't thrilled with the BB Batsuit either. I really wish Nolan had, as I said above, just lightened up the bodysuit around the batsymbol a bit, and then the suit would have looked basically almost exactaly like the comic suit.

Now, I wouldn't say TDK suit looks as bad as the GG suit. The GG suit looked much more restricting....and well, cheap. Even though I'm not a fan of TDK suit, you can tell from the leaked pics that it's by far the most mobile of the suits, and it doesn't have the cheap look that the GG suit did. It's still not what I'd want though.

This suit is a sign of good things to come. Recreating a comic book costume accurately is one thing, but making it look good is another. The fact Jon Favreau has done both is reassuring me about how good this movie will be.
