The Dark Knight What colour scheme do you want for the Batsuit in TDK?

[itsthebatman]

LMFAO!

Why would you share your opinion, if you are uninterested in any response? You could have just written "I like black best" on a sheet of paper, and then read it back to yourself.

okay that has to be one of the best responses ever.t:

 

[itsthebatman]

This is not correct (hint: there was no reason for him not to paint the belt black, too. No reason this "no need to explain it" approach can't be applied to a grey bodysuit).
This is not correct either: Batman is not only concerned with looking like a "creature of the night." I don't want to repeat myself, so please read this post.
I don't recall ever saying anything about pleasing. I said he's aesthetically minded--the suit is designed to be seen. The symbol is on his chest to be seen, or it would not be there at all.
It doesn't need to serve a purpose, by the same token that having it all black serves no purpose either.
If you believe this statement, then there is no point in us discussing this any further, because I actually want Batman to look like Batman.
Secret tip: it can't stress "the symbol he embodies" if it can't be seen.
Finally, what does it matter if Bruce Wayne wants the suit to be aesthetically pleasing or not? This is not something that has ever been granted consideration in any Batman comic, ever--or for most heroes, period. The suit must be good-looking not because Bruce wants it to or not, but because character designs are supposed to look good, period. If this means all-black to you, fine, but don't waste my time with this "it shouldn't be grey because Bruce doesn't care about made-up-rationalization-X" crap.

Saint, I know it's part of your, um, charm, for want of a better word, and also that you couldn't give a flying f*** what i think, but do you have to do the whole HINT and SECRET TIP thing (hint: it's patronising and condescending), (secret tip: it makes you look like you think the person you're arguing with is a child, just because they disagree with you doesn't make them stupid).

Black and grey, no oval.

Thank you for including my response within your own post.

I will clarify, though, that it is not always meant to be rude. Sometimes, yes, it definitively is, but in the latest instance to which you were referring it was only a habitual inclusion--not meant to offend.

 

[explode7]

Hmm. I wonder how batman would look in the colors of the national flag?

 

[regwec]

Like Captain America with ears.

Just saving you time and effort. I'll get my sarcasmometer reserviced.

That'd be a sight to behold.

LOL...

This is the reason I love the SHH Boards.

 

[scifiwolf]

Geez, regwec, you really struck a chord with everybody. Good smackdown....

 

[batsone]

More the BTAS look

and one more simple re-color

I'll do the other versions from the poll aswell

Spend 1/5 of your waking hours at a computer, and at least one of your thousands of posts will meet with approval.

 

[itsthebatman]

I always imagine you dictating your thoughts to a minion who types for you. Is this a false image in my head?

 

[regwec]

I tend to sip from a glass of fine Claret, while typing with my left hand. Does that help?

 

[itsthebatman]

Gotcha.

Eh, I'm not going to pursue this debate anymore. I don't care enough about this topic. We just have different understandings of Batman and what is important for his portrayal. Plus it's bound to just turn into a drawn-out, heated argument that goes nowhere, especially since you're already saying that I'm wasting your time with "crap."

Just one last "hint" or "secret tip," if you will:
Being aesthetically-minded means being concerned with what is visually pleasing/artistic/beautiful.

 

[chosen1]

the suit was all black but am I right in saying that it was slightly lighter than the cape and forearm shingle thingies. I would still have it the same..

This is not accurate: I just don't believe being black has anything to do with any of the things that you think are "important for his portrayal."

Just one last "hint" or "secret tip," if you will:
Being aesthetically-minded means being concerned with what is visually pleasing/artistic/beautiful.

Perhaps you prefer the term visually minded, as in "concerned with the visual appearance he presents, pretty or not."

Can you do a version of the bottom one, but with the belt from the top one?

 

[batsone]

Sure Saint.

This is my Neal Adams style

 

[afan]

Voted black and grey, no oval,........ but if the blue is very dark..........

 

[Muziko]

Dark Gray & Black - NO phuckin' oval!

The BB suit was lighter than the cape and forearm pieces (don't know the technical term for them) I think this was due to the fact that those three pieces were made of different materials, so they each look different under certain lights. I don't know if they meant to make the suit dark gray and black - but it turned out that way in certain scenes... but I think it's safe to say that the BB suit is all black. I definitely like the dark gray & black with no oval pics that have been posted on this thread - don't know about the briefs though....

I'm thinkin' they're still gonna go with all black - even with the suit change. I'm HOPING they get the balls to change it up though... all black is getting a little old for live action Batman. We need a new look for Bats - and I don't mean the chrome/rubber garbage from Batman & Robin.

Cambio y Fuera,

[Warhammer]

All-black, no oval.
Just slim the suit down a bit so it looks more comfortable, and also, slim the cowl. It looked terrible in Begins.

I thought the cowl was good. But, yeah i agree the cowl and suit coudl be slimmed down a bit.
