The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR Batsuit Discussion Thread

[Infinity9999x]

Except the part where it looks fine. It's armor. It's supposed to be. Get over it.

It's a costume. Design is part of the equation. People have different opinions. We're here to discuss them. Get over it.

The idea that tights wouldn't work in a movie is entirely based on the premise that the movie is in a contemporary setting. Personally, I'd love to see a Batman movie that is almost a 1-for-1 live action adaptation of BTAS. In that setting, art/dark deco, you could have modern technologies with a classic 30s look and culture in which you could easily reconcile the costume design. I wouldn't make it tights though, but a tougher material with a kevlar body armor underneath. You could literally have a Bat-suit that looked exactly like BTAS/comics, have it make sense within the world it exists in, and sell it to the audience.

Audiences don't go into movies, especially superhero movies, expecting it to correlate with how things are in this world. You have to set up a world where everything the superhero does makes sense. Nolanverse Batman does not make sense for a 100% comic accurate Batman. That's fine by me, but just because neither he nor Tim Burton(who constructed a Bat-verse all of his own) found it suitable to do a black/grey outfit for the worlds they created doesn't mean it can't be done convincingly and better than any of the previous comic accurate portrayals of the Bat-suit in cinema(Adam West is the most atrocious example for sure, but there are also those serials from the 40s).

Excellent points- please stick around.

^^^Have you read the thread in its entirety?

Have you? The number of people in this thread who want, as you wrote, "tights without protection" is probably countable on one hand.

Yeah, but if he picks the most ridiculous examples, then he can best put his straw man tactics to use.

I definitely prefer no protection to rubber.

 

[Saint]

Just changed the proportions to more realistic and reduced the blue on the suit.

That's fantastic.

 

[Boom]

I'm curious to see that design without the ab lines.

 

[DCnightwing23]

Very well done Alex Spider, i really loved that cg design for batman, but seeing it formatted into a nolan-esque suit is fantastic! Now just add a cape to it and that should be the new suit for the new movie

Heh.

 

[regwec]

Being Irish, you're not allowed to laugh about that.

[itsthebatman]

That was more of a wry smile, really. Think Batman at the end of TKJ.

 

[regwec]

Are you...linking to your hard drive?

 

[Yurka]

Im fine with the Dark Knight body of the suit, its vastly improved over the Begins suit. I just cant stand either of the cowls.

 

[Boom]

I deliver:

So much better. I'm tired of ab patterns on suits.

Just so I could see it, could you also remove the central line?

 

[itsthebatman]

Not deliberately. Image won't copy.
Ah well.

[itsthebatman]

This I like.

 

[Mr. Earle]

I deliver:

Can we also remove the lines on his shoulders and replace them with the same grey material that is one the rest of the suit? Removing even more details like lines, bolts and pads wouldnt be bad. Hell, let me just post this again because this is the perfect suit for me:

 

[Boom]

I love this.

Thank you, Saint .

I would kill for an animated series with this style.

Young Justice.

Also, it's not that good. The boots/gloves are too short, imo.

 

[RustyCage]

Loving the latest updates to that 3D BTAS looking armored suit!! t: Let's see it with a sweet, wraithy cape now?

The boots/gloves are too short, imo.

I agree, but it's a tiny misstep to an otherwise awesome suit.

Yeah--I'm really hoping that young Justice spawns a Batman spin-off. With Bruce Greenwood!
