Hmm.

It reminds me a lot of when I was a kid and I had the old school batman action figures. Then when I got older, I bought a new one and it had a new style and armor, etc.. etc... Didnt like it as much.

Yeah, not crazy about this look.

I think it looks great.

I think it is great too. Think about it. Batman has the resources and the ability to make his suit do this stuff. Why wouldn't he pack it with as much as possible? Dardevil would if he could!

Also, I ALWAYS hated the fact that Batman couldn't turn his head in prior movies...it made no sense that you'd be able to fight without head mobility!!!!

Judging purely by that picture, I'm not crazy about the new suit either. It looks too "busy" to me. I'm thinking it must be hard to resist the temptation for overly fanciful costume design when you're working on a Batman movie. Please, for the love of humanity, just don't give us another over-the-top Batman & Robin fashion fest...

Of course, if the new movie is good, then I won't be thinking about the suit.

Take it easy---I don't think Bale would do this if he wasn't convinced.

Yeah, but Bale isn't in charge of costume design. Not to be a smartass or anything.

It could be much, much worse:

Alicia Silverstone was hot though.

Dude, the codpieces...

of course, Clooney is supposed to have played that Batman as gay. There certainly is that subtext between Batman & Robin.

A promotional event taking place right now online and at comic-con. Possibly revealing something new for the film (trailer?) at the end of it.

Slightly disappointing: the end was a trailer, but it was just audio over a batman logo animation. Find it here:

"this video no longer available" well that sucks!!!

Post by **wayfriend** » Fri Dec 14, 2007 11:04 pm

Well, sorry about that.

I've never been very keen on the suit of armour style of Batman costume. I liked the relative simplicity of the Batman Begins costume.

BTW, they have a new version of the video up.

But in case it doesn't, a substitute (two pics) that capture the essense of it:
