    Batman's New Get-up for TDK

    Check it out--looks fantastic to me--much better than begins.

  2. 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

    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.

    Yep, that's a Batman suit alright.
    It was like that when I got here.

    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!

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

    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.
