The Dark Knight Rises The TDKR Batsuit Discussion Thread

Bale should get more meaty roles. Not to **** on them, but he's kind of wasted in action films.

 

[rogue trooper]

I don't understand the love for Bale as snake. The dude doesn't have the rough look. Get someone older like kurt to play him.

You couldn't be more wrong!! He has proven that he can be the epitomy of "roughness" on screen and off.

Agree but calling a Nolan MGS movie just an action film would be like calling a Nolan Batman film just another comic book movie

 

[the Wankstar]

Also Snake would be meaty for him cause hed have to play Liquid and Solid Snake

It's all just opinion. A lot of people here feel he is. I personally don't know anyone who see's him as rough or 'bad ass'.

John Preston, Alferd Borden, Walter Wade Jr, Jim Davis, Quinn Abercromby, Patrick Bateman, John Connor and Bruce Wayne would all like to disagree

I think you're missing the point to the phrase of "rough". Dirt Harry(Clint Eastwood) or John Wayne look like "rough" actors. Bale doesn't really have that "rough" look. Bale's characters like Bateman or Wayne don't look rough, they look like clean individuals.

Please redo the cowl for TDKR. In TDK it looked like he was wearing an odd shaped helmet. All in all I would really like for them to make the suit less....busy.

I much preferred the Begins suit; the suit he wears in the opening of TDK. It's so much more iconic and a lot more intimidating.

My only problem was the neck part of the cowl. It literally looked like Batman was fighting with a broken neck and the fat cowl provided as a neck brace. I have no idea why they made it so damn wide lol. Definitely was much bulkier than anything Keaton wore.

We NEED to start a Christian Bale/Nolan MGS thread.

 

[Mister Meddle]

Quickly did this. Thicker neck guard, straight ears, opened the mouth area (the dude needs more air) and gave him a noticable emblem like in BB.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I still think the haven't completely nailed the Bat-suit in these movies...

The fixed the Begins problems... but sacrificed design and produced a whole load of new ones.

I still think Nolan LOVES TDK suit... so i'm not expecting too much of a departure.

But hopefully they can find a happy, decent medium for this final film.

Don't really like the emblem, but you adjustments to the cowl look fantastic.

A Nolan/Bale MGS will be the death of me. A happy death.

And what a way to go that would bet:

Nothing is planned, so what's the point?

Already looking better. What does the logo look like grey?

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

The logo is supposed to be the same color as the emblem underneath (dark gray/navy blue or whatever it is). I don't think it turned out that well.

In a documentary called "Behind the Cowl" or something like that on the 2-disc special edition DVD of BATMAN BEGINS, it was said that it was meant to suggest a beast-like quality, a muscular neck like that of a panther.

As for THE DARK KNIGHT Batsuit, one of the few improvements I can think of would be a bigger symbol on the chest.

I actually liked the way the cowl looked but it just seemed awkward to have it so bulky for a realistic approach of the Batman Universe. However the costume, cowl included, did look good on film.

And yeah I'd like a bigger emblem as well. It seems to me they didn't want the emblem on the torso but they added it in a way it's not too visible.

Amazing. Love the cowl


Was that so hard Nolan?!?!

Considering he's made over a billion dollars with his Batman movies regardless of any "flaws" in his Batman's Batsuits, I sincerely doubt he gives two ****s what some guy with photoshop did on some comic book movie message board.
