If I can remember correctly, first was the logo:

Then, a batmobile pic:

And finally, this Batman pic:

Yep, I think batmaluco has it.

That shot of Bale crouched on the fire escape is almost nostalgic.

 

[CConn]

Ah, boy. I remember seeing those first pics of the Tumbler and going "What. The. ****."

 

[zer00]

Indeed. It was a conundrum. Funny enough a description everyone thought was bull**** was dead on. Which is ironic since like a day after that desription came out another did saying that one was complete bull. I bet that dude just wanted to be right

that ass

 

[The Fallen]

Thanks Batmaluco!

Actually it was a shot of a truck next to a mountain where they were filming the ice training sequence. We all orgasmed.

 

[zer00]

ah I remember that. It was so awesome. That truck should have been in the movie

That they tried (in vain) to mislead using a working title: "The Intimidation Game".

Thanks Batmaluco!

You are welcome.

5. April 30, 2004: EW Batsuit pic
4. March 31, 2004: First Tumbler pic
3. March 19, 2004: Logo image released

2. Iceland filming:

... began February 25, 2005, which puts the earliest date of those pics late Feb/early March.

1. The first 'image' was the BoF Batsuit sketch:

... which according to PJ came out about three months before the EW pic, which would place the sketch at Jan/Feb '04.

I still have that issue of EW with "first look at batman".

 

[ReptileOrion]

It feels like were all going down memory lane. Imagine how the hype would have been in 1989 if the internet was as big as it is now.

 

[Excel]

As a huge Bat fan, this image brings a tear to my eye.











In a good way!

I remember when that first image of Batman was all in black and white and you could barely make it out. Everybody still thought it looked cool, though.

Can sumbody up the pic of the stair descent? Batman gliding the down the stairs

 

[BatMatt]

 

[TRUE]

WOW! Thanx. That pic started it all imo

 

[mcflytrap]

That stairwell pic is when I first got really excited for BB. It was my PC background forever.

Yeah, that's exactly what I was remembering too. I also remember people hunting through that grainy black and white photo desperately trying to find the bat-symbol, doing MS-paint sketches of what they thought they could see through the grain.... I remember myself how the light of the photo fooled me for a little while into thinking the symbol stretched across his shoulders....

But regardless... heh, this topic brings back a lot of now nostalgic memories.... I'm just amazed that the whole "That puffy batsuit is a damn pillow!!!" thing hasn't popped up yet.

 

[Sharkboy]

Oh i never got that stupid "teh puffy" bullcrap, it never looked puffy to me.
