Batman’s New Suit Gets Shown Off at San Diego Comic Con
July 27, 2014 by dracs
This weekend geeks from around the world are gathering at the San Diego Comic Con, one of whom spotted something rather interesting; the new Bat suit in all its glory!
This image, which was featured by Mirror Online, was taken by Twitter user @TheAlanJohnson and features the Ben Affleck Bat Suit on full display, no longer shrouded by gloomy photo shop effects.
As you can see, it's very different to the Christian Bale Batman outfits, being closer to the comics than the realistic style Nolan had been going for.
The appearance of the full suit is hot on the heels of the recent image of Ben Affleck's mighty chin while wearing the iconic cowl.
There has been a bit of fan backlash against this outfit, but personally I rather like it. It harks back to the camp Tim Burton Batman films, while mixing in some of the practicality of later depictions. As long as he can turn his head, I think this is a success.
What is your opinion of the new Batman look? Were any of you at San Diego Comic Con to check it out?
I like this on its own, but when i thought about what a suit inspired by Dark Knight Returns could mean for the movie I’m less enthusiastic, and the teaser seems to confirm that it’ll be similar to dkr in theme, which is silly because dkr is an ending, not the beginning of the justice league like they intend this movie to be.
Interesting that they are going with more comic book inspired color scheme than mostly all black that we have seen in movies. I just wonder how non-comic book reading audience reacts to that considering that all they know about Batman comes from Nolan’s movies and maybe for some from Burton’s movies.
That particular image *is* photoshoped. All that’s actually been revealed is the cape and cowl. If you look in the background you can see that [one of] the other batsuit(s) only has the cape/cowl.
Here’s a video of the reveal: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2704958/Ben-Affleck-brooding-superhero-batsuit-new-image-Batman-V-Superman-Dawn-Of-Justice.html#v-3695978766001
Seems Batman is carrying on the left. 🙂
