Now, theres been a lot of talk as to what exactly the new suit is going to look like. This got me thinkin', what is YOUR perfect Batsuit?

I have two options
Low budget or high Budget

If it were low-budget, like Dead End, the suit would be like... Dead End's. BUT there woul be a few serious changes.

First, it would all be shades of black, not gray, even the belt. The Batsuit is built on using the darkness as a weapon, the suit should employ the strength. It also wouldnt be suit-to-skin. There would be a layer underneath the fabric, of scuplted armor. The suit has to protect Bats too, thats why he waers one, so a layer of body armor underneath is essential.
In other words, the Spidey suit style, in Batman's design.

If it were "high budget" it would look mostly like the Batman Returns suit. The armor plating in the front, instead of the sculpted muscle look, seems incredibly practical. But the upper body is scuplted too, not armorish enough, too muscley. And also, its not nearly mobile enough, I mean Keaton couldnt even turn his head.

But if I had to choose I'd pick option one. Practicality serves a purpose and creates an aura of realism. Just imagine a black Batsuit thats mobile enough that you have complete range of motion. and, above all, LOOKS like something someone would actually have.

What about you guys?

My perfect Batsuit would defiently be High Budget.

Ability to fly, laser cannons, hover ability, and the ability to shot rockets.

Basically an Ironman suit with bat ears and a cape.

The perfect bat suit?

One without nipples preferably.

I'm surprised Joel Schumacher didn't go the whole hog & have George Clooney parade around bare assed in rubber chaps.

What are we talking about, the hundreds of different action figures in yellow and red with high-tech gadgets and gizmos that have nothing at all to do with the character or comics? Remember kids, creative changes are a baaaad thing... Bat-nipples, anyone?

The perfect batsuit is the frank miller batsuit from "Dark Knight Returns". Torso, arms and legs are gray. Mask, cape, gloves, boots, and"underwear" are black. An important touch is the symbol itself... No yellow background, just the black bat on the chest by itself. Material is kind of like a smooth thin leather... Strong enough to withstand normal physical damage, but not think rubber like in all the other movies... He has to be able to move in it.

The belt -- All the normal neccesities, like the bat rope, batarangs, smoke capsules... But stay away from the bat shark-repellent.
