Everyone knows that the porn parody suit is the best one

I, uh... I really like that one.
Like, it would be the perfect figure suit for sure.

 

[Shamrock7r]

God forbid a superhero wear spandex.

Doesn't really make sense for Batman though

 

[oti]

Both look kinda dumb so I guess égalité?

 

[unholyrevenger72]

God forbid a superhero wear spandex.

Superhero's don't wear spandex. Not even in comic books.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

Doesn't really make sense for Batman though

Makes perfect sense, it allows him to move and be athletic. It would give him more mobility than any of the previous Batman costumes and way more than that suit of armor from the previous page.

 

[Johndoey]

i don't know it you read the comics or are just basing this off of other media but bats vs supes has come up several times and it's always less of "supes is super strong and can easily destroy bats" and more of "supes is trying to destroy bats but bats is outsmarting him and doing stuff that keeps the fight even"

in dark knight returns it was having a suit and

Spoiler

distracting him long enough for ollie to cripple him with a kryptonite arrow

in hush it was using a kryptonite ring to keep fighting and then moving the fight to the daily planet building where catwoman was about to push lois lane off of the roof

in endgame it was using a suit, and once that was destroyed letting supes hold him and get close enough to spit a kryptonite mixture into supes's eye

In Returns and Endgame Supes is clearly not going for the killing blow, bear in mind all of Bats plans rely on Supes either not wanting to fight or otherwise impaired in some fashion that usually prevent him from going all out. In returns Supes got nuked then fought Batman and even then against a man who didn't want to fight him; Batman was still clearly on the ropes the entire time.

what about bullets and dogs?

Not really. No matter how athletic you are you're going to take hits, and under Armour doesn't work.

That's stupid in a movie tho. He should have some sort of armor plating to protect from too much damage

I wouldn't mind if they had gone with something like this, makes perfect sense for him... and he can rip off the shirt and transform into Superman whenever he wishes. However that transition looks cool in comics, wouldn't look good in a live action film though... that transition would be awkward.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

what about bullets and dogs?

Batman is a ninja and the greatest martial artist in the world, he knows how to avoid getting shot.

He'd also get shot way more wearing that tank suit he can barely move around in.

batman is human. Know your limits.

No he's not.

Its not all that implausible in the context of a superhero movie

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

That is one odd looking cover.

[PHOENIXZERO]

Getting tired of gloomy Superman imagery...

 

[glaringradio]

After how fucking terrible Dark Knight Rises was, Zack Snyder is here to resurrect and subsequently kill the Batman franchise. Wonderful.

 

[Currygan]

The Superman on set looks good too...

you serious? Looks like one of those action figures people with no money buy pretending they're Marvel Milestones

 

[Shamrock7r]

and yet you post a cartoon. It's just simply not believable. You can have a Batman looking suit with a bit of light armor that makes it much more plausible in a live action setting, particularly for take that the DC Cinematic Universe is going for.

 

[Dennis]

lmao he looks like a plastic action figure

 

[GentlemanCrow]

He looks like Superman.

 

[More_Badass]

Not really. No matter how athletic you are you're going to take hits, and under Armour doesn't work.

It does if it's flexible Kevlar nano-weave body armor

It's Batman. He has the resources to develop light-weight flexible material that can stop bullets and blades, because it's a comic book movie with aliens and a demigod from a mystical island (ie sure it wouldn't work in real life, but this isn't realistic)

 

[G-Fex]

No. This is a terrible idea.

you're a terrible idea

 

[old manatee]

It's colorful in the trailer.

I mean - Zack Snyder didn't direct this magazine cover.

He directed Man of Steel and every single thing in that movie is the same color.

 

[inm8num2]

Batfleck is fucking beefy. Looks ridiculously awesome and intimidating.

Cav-El still looking sharp. The two of them are going to look great together...even better when you throw WW into the mix.

Well of course I posted a cartoon. It's never been done in live action. What exactly did you expect me to post?

Blankman did this. If Blankman did this I don't think Batman would have a problem.

 

[crazyturtle]

Still can't get over the amount of padding in that bat suit. If it's not padding, i expect a rocky 6 build under that spandex.

 

[Zaphrynn]

.

 

[Alienous]

That Batman looks like a Rob Liefield drawing come to life.

Nah, his chin doesn't blend directly into his neck.

 

[M.D]

The Superman on set looks good too...

I never thought of using a cape to hide a boner. I should wear a cape.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

A lot of Hollywood costume designers (or well designers period) come off pretty egotistical who feel the need to "improve" things with their own twists. A lot of them from what I've seen come off as pretentious assholes.

 

[More_Badass]

Who's bigger: Batfleck or Arkham Batman?

 

[Schweinehund]

No he's not.

O-Sensei
Lady Shiva
Cassandra Cain
Bronze Tiger
Deathstroke
Richard Dragon

He's probably better at H2H than Deathstroke but he doesn't have the same reflexes and strength as Slade does. I'm unsure about Bronze Tiger as well, at least in the Ostrander squad run he puts himself just below Batman and Dragon, but that was after he stopped being a killer.

The only list I think Batman should top is World's Greatest Detective (though some people say Chimp and Elongted man are better). Batman should be a jack of all trades except in that area.

 

[Son Of D]

What was the last magazine cover to not look bad? It's like these promotional images really don't capture the intended mood that well.

[Ahasverus]

Well, yeah.

I find him similar to Hardy's Bane, as in muscular but not lean.

 

[Frog-fu]

They should really have learned by now that bright colours don't work very well with that Batsuit.

 

[beyond_death]

Superman looks fucking great but I gotta say Batman from the neck(?) up looks abit strange. Did they use the previously released head-shot of him and just photoshop it? I still love the suit though.

 

[MartyStu]

Every time Batman beats Superman in the comics it's because of writers giving him plot armor that makes Superman look dumb. Batman would not stand a chance against classic comic book Superman. Superman has beaten and outsmarted Lex Luthor literally hundreds of times and Lex is consistently portrayed as just as smart or smarter than Batman.

Blame Frank Miller

This is incorrect.

Every time Batman and Superman fight Superman is clearly holding back and trying not to harm one of his best friends in the world.

Every time. Even when he is possessed.

The only exception is Endgame but all Batman can do is keep him at bay and even then he eventually fails as the Jokerized Superman outsmarts his tech and it takes a super risky last ditch plan to disable him.

The point I am trying to make here is that I do not expect a winner. And if there ever was one, it would most likely be Superman.

These two fighting has never been about winning, but about Bruce defying the inevitable. The ending scene in the trailer perfectly epitomizes this.

 

[Lashley]

Batman looks insane.

Love it.

 

[strafer]

Well, yeah.

I find him similar to Hardy's Bane, as in muscular but not lean.

Cavill did some impressive work for MoS.

 

[Discotheque]

The Superman on set looks good too...

loving the batsuit in the set photos but honestly this shit looks ugly as fuck in still photos (in film it looks good though with the color grading, like the senate hearing scene in the trailer)

he looks like a cheap plastic toy.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

He directed Man of Steel and every single thing in that movie is the same color.

And that movie is (fairly famously) a huge anomaly in his filmography

 

[karasu]

Doesn't really make sense for Batman though

It does considering that without super strength the character can't even function in a real armored Batsuit. They've been making them for over twenty years now and he can still barely turn his head.

 

[neogaffer1]

Who's bigger: Batfleck or Arkham Batman?

nu52 arkham knight batman for sure

 

[crazyturtle]

Well, yeah.

I find him similar to Hardy's Bane, as in muscular but not lean.

That inside this

Just weird for me

 

[unholyrevenger72]

It's the Sharp knees that makes it weird

Wow, not a fan of the Rocksteady redesign.
