The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR Batsuit Discussion Thread VI

[KneelBeforeZod]

Anyway, to contribute to the thread/discussion:

*waits for the messenger to be shot*

I actually like that. If they wait 10-years, and bring Bale and Nolan back to do an adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns ... that would certainly work as a Dark Knight version of the Iron Bat suit for the Superman fight.

That design is pretty horrible.

 

[KneelBeforeZod]

This could actually be pretty bad ass. I'd like to see a real version of it.

Here is a computer generated vaguely similar one ...

... hijacked from elsewhere on SHH.

[Majik1387]

Maybe I could see it working if Batman went into outer space.

 

[Sysmatic]

That makes him look pretty damn HUGE.
I don't really dig the 'digital' camouflage textures though.

 

[Mister Meddle]

It looks a lot like that one TDK Rises fan made suit. It's the very bulky Halo styled one with the golden emblem on the pecks and both shoulders.

Yes, that's the one I was talking about. Tbh it would look cool as a suit he would use for special occasions in the comics. TDK rubber plated suit already looks heavy enough, I can't imagine Bats wearing something that bulky in a film. It looks like it's at least three times heavier than the BB outfit. Forget about Bane, the actual suit will injure his lower back.

Digital Camo I like it!

 

[ChickenScratch]

Yup, I was always a fan of digital gray camo for the bodysuit if one were to go gray. A few manips popped up on that theme a while back.

 

[the dmg]

I've seen that one a couple of times. Not my cup of tea.

 

[TheVerbos]

It is a well-rendered design. However, I don't like a standard Batman suit to be too tech-based. He supposed to seem like a creature. The contemporary equipment and delineations framing the outer armor are counterintuitive to the illusion.

I would prefer him to look otherworldly and haunted. As if he is an animal that simply hasn't been discovered or recorded yet by the scientific establishment.

I would prefer white eyes and large 'horn-like' ears similar to his first design. One should confirm his humanity only after close contact and repeated exposure.

 

[TheVerbos]

It shouldn't seem like a costume.

 

[Rayne]

I love that tech suit, but it's also a fantastic rendering, which helps. I wouldn't complain though if Bats comes back to fight Bane with something like that in TDKR though.

 

[Rayne]

is this a manip? This is OUTSTANDING!

 

[FatmanReturns]

That is so beautiful. Good job Mister Meddle!!

What I would love to see is Bruce for a bit strip down the technology and go with a design based upon his ninja heritage. How about lamelar armor? Or a similar chest plate type design they were using in the first one?

I know there is absolutely no reason for him to ever go back story wise. But it still would look cool.

The Tron look is ninja-esque to me.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Thanks for the kind words. I kind of got the idea from some of TDK dolls where the suit is dark but the plates are lighter. I believe it's the best way to give Batman the trademark black and gray look. I also altered the cowl, attached the cape to the neck and made the neck area black. I think I gave Batman a meaner look, unless that was done on a different manip. Yeah, it's late here.

Batman has the same mobility suit however it's also more of a comic accurate look. This way everyone can be happy, or happier.

 

[BatScot]

If you were to lose the two-tone on the breast plate (i.e., make the lower section darker and omit the diagonal line and carbon weave) and stretch the logo out to make it a bit bigger you'd be pretty close to making the TDK suit looks as good as that concept can look.

 

[The Caped Knight]

This how bats should look in this film.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I'm diggin Batmans look in those videos.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Those are some impressive animations but it's the same as the Arkham suit, except the mask looks like a combination of the Keaton and Bale cowls.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Yeah, that looks very Arkham Asylum/City.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

I can't wait to see the discussions in this thread when the new batsuit is finally revealed, ya know like a whole year from now lol.

 

[BatBat]

I can't believe people are actually arguing about Batman looking more creature like. If all you want is a guy in armor then wtf is the point of him even dressing up like a bat? The bat Motif is to scare the **** out of people, not make them fear his poor fashion sense.

 

[BatScot]

School must be out.
