BATSUIT!

[adamjohnson]

This is an artists renderin gof the suit based on his eyewitness accounts. It was sent over to Superhero hype.com and confirmed to be pretty damn true and accurate by batman-on-film.com.

I thought it wasn;t supposed to be all armory-ish. I thought it was supposed to show BALE's muscles not the suits. Oh, well, ill wait for the real thing to pass judgement anyhoo.

[The Rain Dog]

I won't give my final verdict until I see a photo.

But from that rendering I have to say I fuckin love it.

[miguel_montes]

Yup. Agreed.

[MisterTwister]

Yeah it looks great.

[mattjk_17]

Wow, very nice!!

[darkface]

Looks cool to me, but i want a regular picture too :(

[Dead Halloween]

Looks pretty much like the suit used in "Batman & Robin" just without nipples. Im kinda dissapointed :(

[TheAxeGrinder]

Well, it is a step up since Schumacher's nipple-fest...

[Boba Joe]

Pretty cool. Let's see if it'll look cool on the big screen.

[MickeyKnox]

I'll also wait to see on the big screen!

[James Logan]

So far so cool...

...but now I want to see Bale in a real version of that costume.

[ak]

There's nothing different about that design, as far as the sketch shows, but I'm looking forward to seeing the material, colour, texture etc, which, from reports, differs from the rubber seen in the previous films.

I'm hoping that the sketch is not accurate, because I would find that costume disappointingly safe.

[sergiopauloferreira]

I'm guessing the artist tried to draw what the muscle looked like on that costume, but since it's a draw it ended up looking like a rubber suit. As far as i know, that's not the material they're using, so i'm confident that only the design is to be acounted.

I did, however, liked the color (dark grey is gonna look cool as hell) but hope the bat on the chest to be black. if the utility belt turn this way will be cool too.

now bring me a real picture!

[Arathon]

Meh, it's not bad. Just have to wait for the official pic of Bale in the bat suit soon....

[Rick-James]

Jett over at BOF says we may get a *REAL* pic of Bale in the Batsuit very soon!!!;)

[Jon Lyrik]

Nice, very nice. No Bat-Nipples this time.

[dellamorte dellamore]

Yeah , don't see too much difference between that and the one in B 3 and 4 , pretty much the same thing .

[Cronos]

at least it has no nipples

[danielwilson50]

hell yeah

BATMAN costume info, part 2
Friday, April 9, 2004, 9:25 AM CST: If you consider learning what the costume looks like a SPOILER--or just don't want to know--then don't read the following report....

OK. After talking to a few more sources over the week, and doing a little more analyizing of the info that BOF already had, I am going to add a few more details to the BOF costume description of 4/2/04. The costume is constructed of foam rubber as was the case with the last costumes, but it seems to be thinner and not as bulky. It is covered with clear silicone, which gives it a bit of a shine. It is black, with a blueish hue, but seems to come off as "dark gray" in certain light. The Bat-symbol on the suit is part of the silcone, not the material underneath. And as I said earlier, it is big across the chest, yet subtle--i.e. the relief of the suit/symobl is not like that of the BATMAN FOREVER "sonar suit." It is more like an outline on top of the body suit. The suit also has a texture that is hard to describe. It is sort of leather-like, but it is not like the DAREDEVIL suit, nor similar to the suits from the first X-MEN. It just has some kind of texture to it. And the body suit is clearly molded into "body armor."

The cowl. It does fit tight to the face, but it is not as thin as say, the Alex Ross "Batman." It will not move to convey facial expressions as previously thought. It is separate from the body suit, but will fit over the extended neck (of the body suit) fitting as one. No part of the neck is exposed. It will allow for free movement of the head, so Bale won't seem to be wearing a "neck brace" as with the earlier suits. The ears are not as sharp or long as those of previous costumes, and seem to slant forward slightly. However, they are not smallish "nubs" or anything like that. And also as previously stated, the cape seems to "attatch" right above the chest bat-symbol. Lenses? None, according to several sources.

My overall take on the suit is a positive one. I really like it and believe the fans will as well. Just don't be shocked when it is not as radically different from the style of the suits from the previous films. I stand by my original observation: "It is not that drastically different than the costumes of the previous series, yet very fresh, new, and dissimilar at the same time."
-----------

Damn. I was hoping for something more DEAD END. (Although this still may be more false info, like the INTIMIDATION title they were schlubbing us). I really wanted the suit to show off BALES muscles, not the ruibbers.

I mean, wouldnt you like to see Batman like THIS (http://www.kryptonsite.com/flash/comingsoonflash.jpg)

[James Logan]

Batman's suit isn't red.

I kid, I kid. ;)

[Silverload]

Here is a new fan rendering that is supposed to be the closest to the real thing, Batman on Film says these pictures are spot on:

I truly think the concept of it looks great. My only grip with this is that the entire suit is one color, I just wish they at least made the Bat Symbol solid back.

[Thrizzle]

I wonder if it will be totally bullet-proof.......i hope not because i used to hate how Batman had all this incredible technology that was far superior to anything that exists in real life.

[adamjohnson]

Yeah that does indeed kick ass. Hopefully it moves well.

And they do have body armor like that. They have sculpting armor like that that can be reshaped, as i recall, batman just added muscles. Besides that, he probably has armor plates on underneath his suit.

[APzombie]

Concidering how i loved the original Burton version more than the Dead End one, i am totally cool with how it sounds.

[Clerk]

I am mixed on this one.

They took everything that was good about the Burton suits and mixed it with everything that was good about Schumachers, which kicks ass.

I was kind of hoping for something different, it looks like the same old rubber suit thing, but then again rumors say its made of different material, so it will probably kick ass when in action.

[Danny L]

wHATEVER. As long they 86 the ass cracked ones with nipples and everything from Schumachers part of the franchise...
