Saw these over on Cosmic Book News and thought I would share...
Overall, I like the shape and texturing on the cowl; the ears are DEFINITELY Miller's, beings that their short and kinda stubby, but at least they don't curve inwards like Nolan's did (they seemed to curve inward towards each other ever further in each movie). Still not happy with the bottom of the cowl, either. No one has designed a cowl that really seems to allow Batman any freedom regarding his jawline and this opening, in particular, really seems to accentuate the Affleck's very recognizable chin (perhaps that's why he has stubble where all other Batmen have been clean shaven, to kinda camouflage that chin and it's trademark cleft).
In looking at these photos, it does look like the cowl and the cape are once again two separate pieces which would allow him to turn his head, a luxury I'm sure Michael Keaton would have appreciated.
I'm not so sure about the texturing on the suit. Maybe it's the lighting, but it looks kind of scribbly. Might look better on film or (as it's likely to be) in the dark. Suit definitely has the bulk of Miller's Dark Knight and that Bat Symbol on the front IS Miller's for certain.
Utility belt---eh, looks okay, but I kinda wish, since they seemed to stick with everything else of Miller's, that they'd have stayed with the more off-yellow, canvasy looking belt he had in the book.
What do you guys think?

We finally got the Black & Gray! The gray is obviously textured to give the illusion that it's some sort of Kevlar-weave body armor. And yet it's a pretty faithful Batman costume.
