Not terrible, but not great either. I guess if it makes the action sequences better then I'm okay with it.
-
Apparently it's lighter and more mobile than the previous suit, which was already the most mobile of any live action Bat flicks post-West. Now he can completely move his head in all directions because the cowl is not attached the suit.
-
That is good. The whole just looks so busy though. Just so much going on, it is kinda weird.
-
damn! looks hot
-
HEAD GAMES!
I CAN'T TAKE ANYMOOOORE
-
Looks like the fremen stilsuits from Lynch's Dune movie. In other words, fucking awesome. I love the fact that the head doesn't look oversized, that was my biggest problem with the suit from Begins, it made Bale look like he had a huge noggin.
And yeah, I remember how Keaton used to have to turn his whole body around when he wanted to look left or right - the result was fairly ridiculous. And in Returns, the mask was attached to the cloak so that when he takes it off at the end to confront Catwoman he actually RIPS IT OFF.
-
That's the worst thing about the Burton batmans. Keaton looks so stiff and unnatural.
-
Too busy. Looks like a cyborg.
-
The reasoning behind the armor split into pieces is that he has more range of motion, not just with his head, but with his muscles. I know a lot of folks prefer the simplistic look of the other suits, but to get that look across, it sacrifices function. I think this is a good compromise.
-
Easily my favorite Batsuit so far, from that picture alone.
-
How cool would a batsuit look if they got rid of all the armor and went for the Spider-Man/Superman look?
-
He looks like a mandroid. Nolan's shitting on Batman continues.

Nolan has made batman INTERESTING. Batman prior to Nolan was far less interesting.

The only people who still prefer Keaton's batsuits are rubber fetishists.

anyone who prefers any version of Batman on screen to the Nolan universe (live action, animated..etc) are uh ____ fetishists.

No offense, but the animated Batman is still, to me, the definitive interpretation of the character.

I own all of the TAS on dvd. Very enjoyable but due to sat. morning limitations (many cheesey episodes) and time it does not hold up to the Nolan universe. I can't see how it's even arguable. There are a good number of episodes that are somewhat painful to work through now.

Found this somewhere else lol:
Funny. Superman and Spider-Man wear their comic book-esque costumes in the movies and they don't look goofy at all.
Put Adam West in the real batsuit and yeah, it'll look pretty goofy. But put a beast like Bale in the real batsuit (fixed up so it doesn't look like it was cobbled together on the cheap in the 1960s) and he'll look pretty imposing.
The fucking sci-fi suits are completely counterintuitive to the story. The entire thing hinges on Batman's ability to keep his superhero activities completely unconnected from his Bruce Wayne persona. But here's what happens when the cops are hunting for Batman:
Cop A: "Anything noteworthy about this bat-guy that we're looking for?"
Cop B: "Not really. Well, he was sporting a cutting-edge suit of battle armor with tons of miniaturized gadgets and weapons hidden in it, and he drove what appeared to be an experimental military vehicle."
Cop A: "I see. That stuff sounds like it costs a fortune. That narrows our pool of suspects down to rich guys."
Cop B: "And that shit clearly isn't anything you just buy off the shelf. This guy has connections to some kind of military development firm.
Cop A: "Yeah. And judging from the localization of his activities, he probably lives in or around the city."
Cop B: "And judging from eyewitness descriptions, he's probably built like a motherfucker. Probably a younger adult male, and buff as hell."
Cop A: "Right."
Cop B: "But even if he did have the money and access to get all that shit, what kind of nut would bother putting it all together and using it to stalk purse snatchers and petty thieves?"
Cop A: "Probably some isolated eccentric guy with a fucked up childhood."
Cop B: "Okay, so I guess we have a check list. Our mystery man is probably a young billionaire, lives near Gotham City, built like an athlete, has connections to a technological R&D firm, and has likely had some kind of traumatic incident occur during his childhood. He will also have to account for his whereabouts between the hours of 12AM and 6AM every night for the past month, and a stack of false alibis that tall won't stand up for long."
Cop A: "My god, he could be anybody!!!"

Batman '89 set the standard to be rubber suits, it has continued for nearly 20 years and I don't see it going away any time soon.
-
Is this Patrick Bateman again? He is a fucking superb Batman :D
bale and nolan are doing all 3 films.

And yet people keep saying this suit and the universe are believable. Oh well, no one in the comics ever pieced it together either.
-
Amazing. We can film entire movies in front of a blue screen and make them look almost completely realistic yet we're just now creating a costume with a rotating head. distinguished mentally-challenged fellows.
-
Awesome. Totally awesome.
-
OMG!

Holy shit. A lot of people are going to be thrilled you're back, bagofeyes.
Did you see sp0rsk's nude?

I like the idea of the flexible, segmented armor, but the patterns on the surface are really Tron (http://images.google.com/images?um=1&tab=wi&hl=en&q=tron).

his body looks like Night Thrasher's, and Night Thrasher sucks
-
Looks like something Joel Schumacher would have used.
Yuck.

He would have wanted nipples, a bigger crotch rocket, and some silver highlights, so no. This actually looks awesome.
-
The cowl does. The rest is something entirely different.

I love how that guy spends several hundred words saying how Batman's suit sucks because it won't hide his secret identity......after he just got done praising Superman's costume :lol
Yeah, those glasses hide Clark Kent's identity so much better....
-
This new costume rocks im going to watch Batman Begins again tonight and maybe do a Nolan double feature this weekend. Prestige and Memento

I dreamt tonight that I was batman. I was in this sewer place and had these two spider robots that could climb walls.
