Title: Clooney wearing Kilmer's Sonar Batsuit
Post by: The Laughing Fish on Fri, 10 May 2019, 11:56
I was having a look at one of those Batman Wikia pages today, and I stumbled across this photo of an unmasked George Clooney wearing the Sonar Batsuit from BF.

As you can tell, this photo was taken from the scene where Bruce is treating Alfred with Mr. Freeze's cure. In the movie, we only see his face but not the rest of his upper body.

There's no doubt the second Batsuit that Clooney wears is a retouched version of the Sonar Batsuit, but I find it odd he had to wear the original costume for that scene.

That's a strange scene. O'Donnell wore his red and black Robin outfit rather than his upgrade black and white ice gear. Makes me wonder if that scene was shot early in the production before the ice costumes were finished.

That's a very good and plausible guess.

I had another look at my copy of the comic adaptation to see if that inconsistency occurred too, but instead it shows Bruce, Dick and Barbara wearing their plain civilian clothes while treating Alfred. Hmmm.

I find it funnier that in the final sequence where they're all sacked on the couch, you can see their outfits laying on the back of the couch and on the floor. Slightly odd given they had Barbara with them. I can't see them disrobing in the family room, especially when they have a wardrobe chamber in the Batcave.
