The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR Batsuit Discussion Thread IX

[TerryMcGinnis]

If Bruce gets some monochrome puzzle patterned wallpaper in the new mansion, he can effectively use it as a cloak, just by standing next to the wall.

I still like the Begins bat crest better. The promo bat is cool, but the Begins crest works better IMO.

My favorite is the Arkham Asylum/City bat though.

Excluding the thin neck, the worst part about TDK suit is the pecks. Too many necessary designs. What's up with those lines? And what's up with that weird plate going straight across the chest? Just keep it simple. All what's needed is the emblem.

The suit looks absolutely awful in that picture

i dont understand that black layer on the chest that is under the batsymbol .why is it the same color like the symbol?

 

[craigdbfan]

Even then its still a pretty good suit in the large scheme of things. The torso IMO is the best part except for the obvious far to small bat emblem but it doesn't ruin it for me.

The neck and bottom half of the suit though for the exception of the boots are horrendous and what make the suit look kind of ugly at times for me personally.

The torso however for the most part is really good if not close to perfect for what they're going for though. The suit would be perfect if the bottom half were more of a simple design made of "plating" for the legs and give him a possibly an all mesh neck (can't make things to easy now can we?).

Maybe it was necessary/easier to attach the bat symbol to that then that weird carbon fiber looking material below it.

There are some pictures in which the TDK suit makes me shake my head in disbelief.

That's a replica of the Arkham Asylum suit, isn't it? A great example that a comic accurate suit can be made, and made to look professional, not cheesy at all. I especially like the torso, the legs here are maybe a little too simple (yeah, I know, after TDK you'd think it's not possible). The gauntlets and boots look a little bit silly, but everything else is pretty much great, the cowl, the torso, the cape, the symbol. Now the question would be, can a grown man move semi-naturally in that thing. I'd guess not.

There are entire scenes in which the TDK suit makes me shake my head in disbelief.

Amazingly accurate, but not realistically functional in the Nolanverse. The belt alone seems to restrict a lot of movement. I love the simplicity of the suit, but the light grey/black combo just doesn't seem to fit when compared to BB & TDK.

 

[Yurka]

Awesome suit. IMO if the belt were black it would look even better.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

Make the suit all black or the gray alot darker and im happy.

 

[Nevincer]

Make the suit all black or the gray alot darker and im happy.

Agreed.

 

[Dark Knight]

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:

The "Big Bat" chest symbol in the BB suit was solid!

 

[LegendaryCaleb]

Still think the undies would look ridiculous for batman in a movie...

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

I'd like it a lot more if I could see it in motion. It looks absolutely stunning, though.

 

[socool]

Thin out the ugly ass boots and gloves and we have a winner. My only complaints with the Arkham suit is the insanely huge gauntlets and shin guards. They just look atrocious.

 

[Majik1387]

Not as atrocious as that belt and undies.

 

[PSYLENTGuardian]

For a potential Nolan Batsuit, I'd probably darken the gray some more, then thin out the gauntlets, shin guards, the belt, and remove/replace the underwear.

I wonder how rigid those ears are.

[EliteF50]

HOLY CRAP. That looks amazing! How can someone say that wouldn't work on film?

 

[EliteF50]

Not as atrocious as that belt and undies.

Not as atrocious as TDK's... well, everything.

 

[Majik1387]

Suuuuuuuure.
