The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR Batsuit Discussion Thread IX

Its badass but not for a Nolan batfilm.

I don't know if this has yet to be posted but I found this design to be awesome on the Redesign Thread:

That's a candidate for AzBats if I ever saw one.

It is cool!

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I personally would change around a few things (the mask, gaunlets, and texture [reminds me of chain-mail]) but I've grown fond of the design.

A suit of this nature would be perfect for a showdown with Bane.

Please tell me that's a playable costume for Arkham City.

Not that I know of, but that would be so badass

Yeah, it does seem to resemble the mask a bit. Maybe the artist drew inspiration from this version.

 

[BatScot]

I have wondered about this many times, which leads me to assume that it must have been tried. I think it is likely that it was difficult to achieve an acceptably sculpted look with fabric without resorting to underwiring or thick padding, which might have made the head as stiff and static as if rubber had been used anyway.

There's really no reason why the material covering the neck needs to be the same material that covers the head. Ironically, the TDK cowl actually comes closest to solving this problem, except that its not really a cowl and they had to screw up the neck by gluing rubber bits all over it and I'm no fan of the bat-helmet. Still it's a fairly no brainer approach to make the 'helmet' out of latex and sew that to a more malleable material for the neck. Ideally the transition between the two materials would go unnoticed and even the TDK 'cowl' would have looked cleaner had they just let the mail material stand alone and set the helmet on over that.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

^ The question is Scot why didnt they take that route?

 

[DaveMoral]

Worse bobblehead effect?

 

[Majik1387]

Exactly.

Without falling in to a debate with anyone...

I like the BB suit and TDK suit.

With BB's suit, it had this... (odd way to put it but) much more natural look. Like if you saw it in the shadows, you'd question whether or not it was a creature.

With TDK's suit, it was clearly just a guy in a suit. I was disappointed when they lost a large aspect of Batman's suit. I like how they approached the suit in a more practical way though.

I wonder if he'll get a bulkier version to take on Bane. If he doesn't, I want to see a battle damaged suit. We haven't seen that in Nolan's Batman.

Kind of a silly description imo. The only way you could confuse the begins suit for not being a man in suit is it was appearing in very heavy shadow and at that point the TDK suit in very heavy shadow would probably look the same i.e. there details are both obscured.

 

[Darkness Falls]

someone posted a manip of the avengers cap suit turned into the batsuit, i thought it could work for a future franchise

as for the current nolan franchise, i don't really have a problem with the tdk suit
just the symbol should be a little more noticable

Eh, not exactly what I mean.

It's just it had a much more natural and smooth look to it as opposed to the plates everywhere, which would make me think that. lol

 

[Reality]

In any lighting, the tdk suit just looks like a guy in a costume but with the rigid neck and bulkiness of the Begins suit, it is far more animalostic and in some lighting will look inhuman.

I follow. The way he's shot in the first one is more horror movie too. It makes sense because no one knows what the hell this thing is and what it can do. By the time the second movie rolls around, it's clear to Gotham he's just a man. He's more a badass than a creature in the minds of his enemies.

They totally could have in Begins. Think when he's hanging on to the train at the end ... they totally could have had him look scuffed up when he finally got inside. Like, the 'paint' that Bruce applied could have been scrapped off to expose the underlying pre-paintjob look. There were a lot of missed opportunities in that 3rd act.

The main gist was that I always felt that, from a distance, the black chest place kind of emulates the black bat on a grey background.

After the 'big bat' on the Begins suit, I wasn't crazy about the tiny one in TDK, especially de-emphasized by the chest plate. This is my take on it:

 

[Troy_Parker]

That actually looks so much better, a subtle but needed change.

I liked the TDK suit, but hated the tiny symbol.

 

[BlueLantern]

That is the perfect suit in my eyes for Nolan's world.

Outside of Nolan's world I'd love to see a suit that really plays up the horror in the eyes of Gotham's criminal underbelly.

I like the size, but it still seems too hidden. A puzzle piece lost in a sea of puzzle pieces - especially since it has that crease in the middle.
