It looks like every other superhero suit from the last eighteen years. The man dresses up as a bat and fights crime, why does his suit need to be more "interesting"?

and yet again they stay with the rubber suit..I really dislike the rubbersuits everyone reminds me of Keaton in them..... his suit were made cause he wasn't built. All the others could wear the comic book version.....no sir I don't like it...

This is the Best version IMO

[Earth 2 Chris]

Not much different than last time. More detail, but yet somehow more streamlined too. Kind of like Keaton's Returns suit. Remember he got the "armadillo" abs in that one.

I moaned when I saw Bale's Begins suit. I SOO wish they had left the rubber behind, especially after Dead End (seen above) proved the cloth costume could work on screen. BUT, Begins gave a damn good, believable explanation of the hows and whys of the suit, and it just makes sense. In todays world, it's harder to swallow jumping into a hale of bullets in pantyhose.

Warrior - I agree the only problem is you then have to fill the tights.

I think ths new suit is no better and no worse than the last one.

And I don't care for it.

I think you can go rubber as long as you keep it simple like the keaton one.

[Wolverine1969]

Yep, that's a Batman suit alright.

[Megotu]

I kind of like the explanation that it was originally designed as a US Military battlesuit that was scuttled. It makes sense. And even in the comic books, Batman had mentioned that his suit was at times made of Nomex and kevlar and other exotic materials. TDKR even had him explaining the yellow signal on his chest as a target for the steel shock plate.

I too thought they gave a good "story" to Bale's suit in Begins. This one, it's ok, I just don't know why they have to trick it up another level each time . . . in the first three batman movies it eventually led to nipples!!!
Simpler is better!

[thunderbolt]

I don't mind it being an armor, but just once I wish they'd try using the black and grey.

[Hulk]

They should make him wear the cloth outfit beneath the armor, and just once when he doesn't have enough time to change into the full outfit, he has to go running around in his black and grey long johns.

[Meule]

I too prefer the cloth costume like in Dead End, but I have to agree the armor makes more sense. But keep it simple then like Keaton's first suit. This new and 'improved" suit seems a little too high tech to me. But at least it doesn't have any nipples
And as long as the story is good I can live with it

[Hector]

He looks like a cape-wearing RoboCop.

[The Bat]

I don't mind it being an armor, but just once I wish they'd try using the black and grey.

YES!!! That's something I've been saying, as well...for a long time! I don't mind the Armor either, it makes sense...but why not make it black & grey? That way the Bat Symbol on His Chest would stand out more! Along with Gloves, Boots, Cape & Mask. Come'on Mr.Nolan...it's a small thing to ask!

[Dave Mc]

Sandy nailed the Batman look for me in Dead End. It worked, it looked cool, would love to see it in a major motion picture.

For some reason with each and every Bat flick they feel they have to upgrade the suit. The suit starts to be the focus and not the man underneath.

[EMCE Hammer]

He looks like a cape-wearing RoboCop.

I was going to say Stormtrooper, but RoboCop is a better description. For some reason, it seems WB just can't get Batman right. Of all the Superhero stuff of the past 20-30 years, I think the batsuits are the worst.

Reeves/Routh/Caine Superman
Daredevil
Elektra
Punisher
Spider-man
Ghost Rider
FF

I don't really like the X-men outfits, but I can't say I think they're bad.
