A lot of cool headgear is only cool when you can draw it like latex over a character's head, when you make it irl it looks moronic. Bat suits have always struggled with this.
But I want to watch a Batman film for Batman. I really enjoyed The Batman, but I have already experienced Nolan’s Trilogy. I want them to lean into comic book Batman hard. Batman does not need to cost millions and millions of dollars to make. Make it low cost, and reap in the rewards from the comic fans that would double and triple the cost it made to make. DC needs to go the horror movie budget route, and I hope that’s something James Gunn brings to the table. Doing a lot with a little. All you gotta be is just bit more expensive than CW and you are rocking and rolling. Can then take bigger risks on suits that look “moronic” in live action.
Okay, cool, so that immediately crosses out any high budget villains like Croc, Freeze, and Man-Bat.
No one wants to retread old ground, so Joker, Harley, Bane, and Ra’s are all out as well. You’re also going to have to skimp on big set pieces if you want horror movie budget movies, so shit like the Batmobile is just not really happening.
The idea is nice but if you want a good Batman movie, a high budget is pretty fricking necessary.
The enforced assumption that Batman's supposed to be realistic, therefor dark, gritty and ultimately as inaccurate to the comics as possible.
We'll never be able to get a good live-action suit until a some director or producer can fight for an adaptation that's true to the comics and has mass appeal. But so far everyone who's ever touched the character has been more obsessed with their own idea of what Batman should look like instead of just adapting what's on the fricking page.
>Batman movies >Apprently famous for lacking mass appeal
Batgod's movies were raking in hundreds of millions when the thought of a superhero movie was considered laughable. The TDK series (along with spiderman) basically birthed the conditions for the MCU. What are you talking about.
I should've been more clear. My point is that even during the height of Batman's popularity his costumes were either all black or tacticool, and the few attempts at comic accuracy were all attached to very divisive installments. We need someone like Nolan and Reeves who can give audiences want they want without playing into that tacticool = mature mindset.
This board is so autistic and filled with superdaddygays it refuses to acknowledge that most catsuits had been great, and that Snyder had a comic accurate batsuit. You are all contrarian monkeys.
Sorry, anon. But most people don't think Batman, and most capeshit characters, should be toting around in fricking nylon spandex. We want to actually be visually immersed and most characters doing shit in thin, flimsy cloth breaks that immersion. Comic accuracy is only good when concerning the story. But suits for most characters cannot, and do not, translate to real life and be appealing.
Same.
Also, the 92 gloves are superior to the '89 and matches the boots better. I used to prefer '89 abs looking organic, but I've compromised on '92's subtle body armor aesthetic being much more acceptable than the tacticool we've been forcefed for most of the 2000's, even if I actually really liked the Begins suit, and a similar compromise.
once they get it right there's no progression to move from
Because people unironically associate the blue and gray with "kiddie shit Batman" and the all black as "Adult Batman for adults like myself"
>"Adult Batman for adults like myself"
I pity these people who do not know what evil lurks in the hearts of men . . .

>implying you need millions upon millions of dollars to do man bat, mr freeze, so on
>needing big huge set pieces
This is your brain on MCU
If Adam West could do Mr.Freeze I'm sure you could make a good budget one today as well.
Actually, what does this thread think of the Adam West suit?
Just make Croc and Man-Bat furries, add in Bronze Tiger and we can have a movie about Batman beating up a furry convention.
So you want the '66 style?
That just looks like a half naked black guy wearing only the blue parts of the costume and the utility belt.
Where do you live that blacks have grey skin?
>grey
That's warm grey, colorblind anon

Synder's Batman costume was mid, it's comic accurate but it doesn't look good, Batman Dead End a far better suit.
This only works because the actor underneath is a roidfreak. It will look shit on anyone who is capable of acting.
Either spending lots of money on real costumes or spending lots of money in CGI
>Why is it so hard to get a good live-action batsuit?
It isn't. Nolan and Reeves already gave us the best batsuits to date.
Please tell me you don't actually believe that.

Also, Arkham Origins had a great batsuit.
Batfleck was the only one that got it somewhat right and then these dumbfricks just take went back to overly tactical all black bullshit right after.
The only thing Batfleck had going for him was the colour scheme, the suit itself made him look like a big fat bloated moron covered in paper mache.
>Japanese coffee ad has best live action Batman suit.
shame it cant be better seen in the ad
There was a porn parody that had a decent Batman costume but I don't remember which one it was.
The Dark Knight XXX? It's obviously copies off Arkham Asylum/City's homework, but yeah, it was closer than any of the movie suits prior to Snyder's.
It clearly peaked in '89 and it won't get better because the art of practical suits is all but lost nowadays.
92 > 89
I hate 1989 Batsymbol so much, I Mandela'd myself into thinking it was always Returns' symbol.

BvS suit is perfect.
