Mirrors going up pretty quickly.

 

[Willco]

That cape is so badass.

Mana -- did you ever post writeups of all the San Diego Comic Con panels you attended? Either here or at IGN or whatever...

 

[Guzim]

The cape is sexy.

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

watching that makes me feel drunk, kinda like watching Blair Witch.

but yeah, the costume looks awesome.

I made a couple posts here about it, but only did a thing on Star Wars DVDs and ROTK: EE for IGN:

I was just curious if you had learned anything cool at the Whedon/Serenity panel. I don't really keep up with the news about this stuff...

No, I skipped Sunday as that was the only thing I wanted to see there, and it wasn't worth getting up at 6:00am and driving downtown just to get parking for.

Well, I think the neck looks too fat. I know that Batman has no neck normally, but here it looks rather big. But the picture quality is low so I could be way off. As far as I can tell, there's no nipples, and that's all I care about.

And having the cape's shadow on the building... in the final film, that's gonna look SO FUCKING COOL!!!!

The cape looks cool, but it's pretty ridiculous. People complained that it would be impossible to fight in the stiff Burton-era armor, but it's not like the cape wouldn't be equally as stifling to running and quick movement. You'd be tripping all over it...

The cape in Batman Begins is controlled by some sort of electric current in the script. I believe it can stiffen up and such when necessary.

Don't laugh. The entire suit is pretty cool and how he gets it makes PERFECT SENSE.

 

[karasu]

it looks great. An electric powered cape just sounds funny that's all.

It is basically used to stiffen the cape into a glider in one major scene.

"Holy fucking shit, it's Batman!"

"Holy shit, it's fucking batman"

 

[Goreomedy]

I was enjoying the clip before the cast of an unmade Kevin Smith film opened their mouths.

The suit looks great. I have no problem with the thickness of the mask.

Yeah, I would have rather not known that.

way to go Willco, you've ruined Christmas.

[Celicar]

I wish Batman would have done something instead of just standing there.

 

[Wolfy]

What if Batman actually existed.

 

[Guzim]

Then the world would be a better place.

 

[Incognito]

One day, I'll be Batman. That video rox.

 

[Incognito]

Yeah, I would have rather not known that.

If you go to the batman begins website, there's a shot of batman with his cape extended gliding through a building tracking down a goon. i don't think it's that much of a spoiler what federman posted...

 

[Idle Will Kill]

These videos have to be fake. Just a few weeks ago we had a few geeks who somehow got right up by the Batmobile driving around, and now this. Clever marketing move indeed.

This technology exists today. i don't remember what it's called, but one of it's uses early on was with VR.

 

[Shinobi]

"Holy fucking shit, it's Batman!"

That cracked me up...

Cape looked pretty cool, but also looked far too long. Of course I doubt it'll be at that length during the fights.

 

[hobbitx]

Yeah those dude recording were hilarious. lol

 

[MrPing1000]

I love how it goes to his holiday video at the end

 

[Scrow]

He looks kinda... fat. He's got a body like a keg.

Nah. It's kind of hard to be real secretive when you're filming all over Chicago. Apparently if you live there, everyone and their mother has seen that Batmobile. Maybe Batman too!

 

[Ghost]

I wonder if it is some new kind of subtle PR, i understand it would be pretty difficult to hide, but that shot of the holiday kinda gives it away to me as a staged thing.

Why would this be a staged thing? They have been posting media at the official website for months now. They don't really need some secretive campaign.

Plus if the connection ever got out they would be in trouble for having that guy do the retarded kid voice.
