The Batsuit and the Batmobile

[Wayne49]

Am I the only one not so thrilled about his exosuit? That's not how I envision Batman.

I know it's suppose to be a tip of the hat to the Dark Knight Returns graphic novel, but for film, it feels maybe a little too derivative to Iron Man and those related elements from Marvel. My only concern with the regular bat-suit is the inverted production they applied here. You now have the stretch material on the outside with the rubber muscle suit on the inside. Not sure that sells all that well, but we'll see. I always have to watch these movies and see how these costumes move in light and shadow before I make up my mind. I have early concerns about tone and the general idea they're selling in the trailers, but I'm trying not to get too married to any opinions until I see the movie. I could walk out with completely different viewpoints. I'll definitely be there opening weekend. I love Batman!

Zack Snyder gives more information about the new Batmobile while honoring Bob Kane at the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I don't have an issue with the armoured suit. Batman has used various different outfits in his long career, and this is no different. The situation dictates your response. In Batman and Robin there were the snow suits to combat Mr Freeze, and here, he's up against Superman. So the choice is a logical one.

I just hope we'll see him in the normal Batsuit more than the armored suit.

I rather like that approach, myself. Snyder needed to visually distinguish his Batman from all that came before. He's done so and rather successfully. It gives the illusion of it being a fabric suit even though it can't possibly be. That works for me.

I think that's a given.

I'm still reserving judgment on the actual Bat-suit itself until I see it on film. I think the notion that all that rubber underneath is really him is a pretty hard sell...IF that is the suggestion. But it may not be. Given the perceived technological advances on display here, we may get some explanation for what he wears in normal garb. So I remain open minded to the ideas on display. And Dark Knight makes a good point about the armor too. If I can accept Clooney in a silver ice outfit to fight Mr. Freeze, this should be an easier sell. That's a good point.

[The Dark Knight]

Snyder has said the Batmobile was purpose built by Wayne himself. I much, much prefer this to Lucius gifting Wayne the vehicles in the Nolan trilogy.

Good. That should mean no more James Bond and Q starring in a Batman movie.

I heard Alfred gets his hands dirty and is a bit of a mechanic too.

[Catwoman]

Jeremy Irons can get his hands dirty with me anytime.

Wait, what were we talking about again?
