Bats upgrades suit Jun. 14, 2007

Source: JoBlo.com

It seems Batman decided to do a little tweaking to his suit for the upcoming THE DARK KNIGHT as JoBlo.com Spy From The Dark Knight Frontlines Ryan OC sent us this pic of ole Bats sporting his fancy schmancy new threads. We don't have a higher res picture so if you have the patience to discern the somewhat blurry explanations of how exactly the suit has been altered then please do strike it back for us all below. THE DARK KNIGHT opens July 18th, 2008.

The Dark Knight

Extra Tidbit: The film's fake working title is RORY'S FIRST KISS. Who the hell is Rory?

Besides it being totally realistic and logical, Batman will probably be shrouded in this cape most of the time, so you wont see it full on a lot of the time.

As much as I like the plain cloth suit, specifically Alex Ross and Jim Lee's designs, it makes alot more sense to have bulletproof armor.

Seems like a good idea to have the Batman suit "upgraded". No fancy colors, nipples or new gigantor cod pieces, but a few changes would make sense. How often do you make a suit to fight crime and wackos (read: super villians) and get your suit right on the first try? I would imagine there would be more unforseen situations you run into that require the upgrades. Anyway, in regards to the working title, I really feel it's an Anagram for Sorry. So is it a Sorry First Kiss? I would imagine so... since the movie is a Comic Book sequel! :)

perhaps we now know the reason why Nolan titled the sequel THE DARK KNIGHT, the armor on the suit now makes it look quite knight-ish.

i like it, especially the cowl. The whole thing just looks leaner then before, I'd say the next step from here would be even more simplified.

1.) HEAD GAMES Ever wonder why movie Batmans rarely turn their horned heads? It's because the cowls of past suits were firmly attached to the neck and shoulders of the costume-necessary to maintain that iconic silhouette and to prevent the actor from moving around inside the mask. The new headpiece - modeled after a motorcycle helmet - is seperate fromt he neck, so star Christian Bale can now swivel his noggin side to side, or nod up and down. "It was the hardest part of the suit to make," say Hamming.

2.) CAPE FEAR Don't bother asking. "It's top secret," says Hamming. Meaning...? "Let's just say things happen to the cloak." Our guess: It's also a picnic blanket!

3.) BLADES OF GLORY The razors on Batman's forearms are actually part of the suit. (His gloves tuck into the sleeves of the suit.) They're retractable, and yep, they're weapons. "They shoot at people!" says Hamming with a Jokeresque laugh.

4.) RAW MATERIAL The new suit is made of 200 individual pieces of rubber, fiberglass, and nylon and metallic mshe. Bruce Wayne's work clothes now have a stylish texture, suggesting they're made with sophisticated new technology. "I thought it would make it more interesting to look at and wonder about," says Hamming, adding that the stretchy rubber liners also help bind the costume to Bale's body.

KICKS FUCKING ASS. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a major weenie who thinks he should be in spandex. That just won't work cinematically. It's worked just fine in Sandy Collora's DEAD END, but that won't fly on the big screen. I sincerely hope you mean "Felix Unger", ginopags. Anyone who utters a untoward comment about Christopher Nolan and company is basically a twat who prefers the shit Burton or Schumacher "adaptations". I can't understand you people. Either you shit on every new idea because it isn't what you want or you just get off on disagreeing.

This is awesome.
