It's only black and white and its not a full shot of the Batmobile, but I like what I see. 8)
Hard to tell, but the cape and cowl look to be a darker color than the rest of the suit and the utility belt seems to be black. I hope the bat logo is darkened, too, but they may have gone the Batman & Robin/Nolan route where the logo is the same color as the rest of the suit.
The Batmobile reminds me of the one from 1989, and that's great :)
Like the deliberate difference. It's doesn't' immediately draw comparisons unless you go at it to dissect. Love the cowl, then again, anything looks BA in black and white. Great profile. HOWEVER, the Batmobile...eh. Take the wheels off and it's Star Wars.
Here's a bigger clearer, brightened look: http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Batman-vs-Superman-Affleck-Costume-First-Image.jpg (http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/Batman-vs-Superman-Affleck-Costume-First-Image.jpg)
I like the suit. It's my favourite since the 1989 one and shares that one's 'organic' look. I particularly like the feral-look of the cowl and assuming that's Affleck his arms look really beefed up, which can only be a good thing.
I'm overall impressed. By the way, has the teased Wonder Woman pic come out yet? That's the one I'm really looking forward to seeing. :P
how can you tell it is black and white? lol.
idk. looks too tumblery from what i can see. the suit looks cool though.
I must be one of the only people who dont really like the new suit. I think it would be better with a different logo? Also I think Afflecks waaay to big, I understand where they're going in this (since he's fighting superman and all) but I prefer the smaller Batman.
So far, so good. As long as it's an improvement over the Tumbler, we're in business. The windshield design is clearly Furst-inspired.
The Batsuit looks drastically simplified, as it should be. It almost looks like it has... dare I say it, a cloth-like quality to it. Don't get me wrong, Batman in rubber can be done right, but we've never seen a modern take on the traditional outfits. An even bigger plus, the small ears and the oversized bat symbol are clearly representative of The Dark Knight Returns (and Affleck puts forth a believable build). It's never been done before... I'm a fan.

looks like the tumbler but closer to the actual Batmobile. more of the shape of a car vs a tank.
Instantly the cowl is better than the Christian Bale years. Almost going back to the days of both Keaton and Kilmer. Is it just me or does it look as though the mask and cape are once again attached together? So can we soon see the return of the classic movie "bat turn" too?
I have my minor disappointments however. I was hoping the yellow chest oval symbol might return this time (a huge part of why the Keaton suit remains so eye popping on screen). The ears are a slight letdown also. I know a lot of you guys are Frank Miller image fans but I'm a Neal Adams guy lol I wanted them to be the longer, sharper variety we got back in the nineties films. To me they help make Batman much scarier. I've never found them silly as some fans apparently do. The great thing is they look more correct than the daft, teeny-tiny and strangely triangular angled ears that Bale got. The body armour looks very strange. Bandages? Or like he's wrapped in crude black toilet paper almost? Yeah not sure about that one. The chest symbol could have done with a bit more imagination. Like they've just slapped it on and that's your lot.
The important thing however is this doesn't look like a damn robotic, militaristic battlesuit. It looks like, well, a BATsuit again. Notice the cape has a kind of batskin texture in it again like Keaton's. Certainly not the parachute material of Bale.
The Batmobile I'll have to get a better look at just yet. There is a definite hint of the Keaton Batmobile in there which is excellent. However it's still lacking those actual "bat-like features". Enough already with the sodding Miller tanks.
hi res. and ok yes it is black and white.

I like the suit. I'm not sure about the car. It's too messy-looking, much like the Nolan vehicles. I much prefer the sleek, aesthetically-pleasing simplicity of the Burton Batmobile.
Excellent photo, you can really see the texture of the suit, and that the cowl and cape are one in the same.

holy sh*t we agree on something
Great entrance - a striking pic to introduce both him and the car. If this was 1997 it would instantly become my bedroom poster.
The "clipped" ears are usually not to my liking, but I like the overall look, especially the suit's texture (a major difference compared to the appearance of previous suits) and the "traditional" musculature - nothing that looks too high-tech and military. It's too early to judge since we've yet to see him in motion, but it seems this new Batman will exceed the expectations of many, myself included.

I still miss the style of Keaton's suits but I like this one too.
I love the suit and the Batmobile. I think they're both great!
My only little complaint is the ears look a little too short. But otherwise, I like it! An improvement from the ugly Dark Knight costume by far! It feels like a combination of Dark Knight Returns, Year One, and New 52. Affleck really does look like Batman coming to life, probably moreso than any other actor before him. Let's just hope that he doesn't speak in a ridiculous gravellly voice though. ;)
The jury for the Batmobile is still out for me though.

Thankfully Affleck's mask doesn't have that ugly, long and blocky pointy nose that Bale had.

I'm not sure about that. For all we know, the material may be loose enough to turn his neck. Only time will tell.

I totally agree, it's too bad that most comics creators and film directors prefer the all-black bat insignia nowadays.

I prefer the Adams look too, but I guess the filmmakers wanted to do so something new, especially Miller-inspired. And although I wish the ears were longer, I agree that they look FAR better than those weird curved ears that Bale had.

Would've liked longer ears on the suit, but overall, this is a big upgrade from Nolan.

The best part is simply the aesthetics using the comics as an inspiration. The Nolan series wanted everything to be realistic and gritty; as a result the Batsuit simply came across as generic body armor with a cape. You'd think that they'd follow suit after Man of Steel, but thankfully, that's not the case.
The Bat-symbol is a large part of what makes him Batman as well. While nothing beats the yellow ellipsed Bat-symbol created by Infantino, I like that the symbol is once again a large part of suit, being projected front and center. No longer are they afraid to show it.
While I am a fan of the Batmobile so far, I do agree that we need to see more before making decisions.
Also, that looks boss, GBglide

The picture of the prototype has been leaked, which now appears to be closely related with the final. Again, even more Furst characteristics to it (look at the shape of the front). While it's not my new favorite or anything, it looks like a Batmobile so far. I wanna see this baby on wheels, though.
see there it almost reminds me of the batboat from batman forever. hopefully when we see a full pic it looks like a car and not the f***ing tumbler.
Looks cool.
Though, I've never had a problem with Snyder's visual style.
As expected, Batman looks cool. Yay.
Also reminds me of the 3-in-1 batmobile from Forever. Well, a much wider version lol

I'm glad they have gone in a different direction.
Burton revolutionised the character in 89 with his black bodysuit.
Snyder has 'revolutionised' the character in a way by shaking up that trend.
It's effectively the TDK Returns suit, which I like.

I agree. I went on BOF, and saw Jett's opinion on it, and he just made me laugh. He always has to defend TDKT in anyway possible.
QuoteSpeaking of Jim Lee's New 52 Batsuit – which totally seems to be one of the inspirations used by costume designers – isn't it a bit ironic that he Mr. Lee was very much influenced by the Batsuits from Chris Nolan's "Dark Knight Trilogy?" For all those fans who wanted Batman to sport some sort of "tights" on the big screen and are currently doing a conga line over Batfleck's gear as we speak, uh, y'all, he ain't wearing spandex. It's simply a different version of the hated (by some, not all) "black rubber body armor."
I'm sorry, but Affleck's suit doesn't look like a huge black rubber suit from the past. Sure, it may be made from some of the same materiel, but it doesn't LOOK like rubber. That's what the fans have been asking for. We don't care how they make the suit, just stop making it look like obvious black rubber. I don't know if he can't understand that, or if he's just defending TDK-suit, or maybe just a mixture of both?
Oh, and here's a look at the front end. It's an unfinished look at it, but at least we get a better look at the front end.

Knock the wheels off and it's an awesome pod racer. It just looks too....alien to me. Wait, Wayne Enterprises' advances in tech and medicine were due to discovery's of wreckage similar to Kal-El's ship, detailing a land cruiser schismatic, but since antigravity was beyond the scope of Wayne Tech scientists, this is what we got. That'll reach the 'aliens are responsible for everything' History Channel demographic Yeah! Give me a staff writing job, WB.
looks like something robby gordon would be wanting to race in the sand dunes in california lmao

But he can turn his head in TDK suit. That makes it automatically better, regardless if you hate the design, right? And if the Snyder neck can move, Nolan did it first so he's still better!
The problem is Jett and the Nolan crowd went so far all in with that series, even if they love the new direction, it can't be overly so - because they'd be contradicting their previously held strong views. Either way, they were going to look silly.

I never understood why people cared about Batman being able to move his neck or not. I never found it that distracting while watching the past films. If anything, I'd be more concerned if Batman can look good in a fight and he has the agility to be a believable fighter on film.
The response to the new Batsuit has been mostly positive, but I still notice some people are against it. Some of them don't like it because of their pathological hatred for Affleck, while others make snide remarks at Snyder for being too close to the comics; claiming it's just another example of his lack of originality. Well hey, all Nolan did was just copy the same colour template from the Burton/Schumacher films. If anything, this new Batsuit is refreshing. And even though I prefer the Batman Returns suit out of all the films, I'd put my bias aside by admitting that this suit is the most accurate comic adaptation to date.
Love him or hate him, Affleck still isn't really part of the equation yet. The suit is the focus of the news, and
that's what I'm a fan of. He has the right build for the suit, so at least we know that the physical aspect is well covered. Now, as Keaton demonstrated, even previous acting roles aren't to be taken as gospel when it comes to the role. He could give us an expectedly awesome role, or he could just fall flat.

he is too big a name to just disappear into the suit but i think a lot of us would like for that to happen lol. to forget that's ben affleck up there on the screen and just see batman lol. bleh.
i thought it was like understood that batmobile isn't finished lol.
I'm not too excited about the Batmobile, I hope they do something about it.
I wonder if Affleck will drop the annoying Batman voice that Bale's been doing. I hope he sounds more like Kevin Conroy, that would be awesome.
I'm not totally sure about the Batmobile yet, I'll need a full view.

I wouldn't worry about that. There's surely no way Snyder or Ben will adopt that.
^ I don't know, we'll see. I thought the same thing about TDKR. I was thinking, "Nolan and Bale have to know how goofy the voice is. Not only is it hard to understand him, but look at how much the voice is being parodied and made fun of. They'll fix it for TDKR, I'm sure of it!". But then that movie came out, and it was like, "oh, you guys thought that voice was funny, lets bump the silliness up a notch, shall we?! Now we also have this Bane guy who will be a marble mouth, and they'll talk to each other!".
bale's voice sounded ok like 1 time. when he pulls falcone out of the car and says "i'm batman." then it was all downhill from there lol. its like kevin conroy said, bale needed someone to grab him and say "dude you sound ridiculous."
maybe we'll get an advance teaser trailer to put everyone's concerns about ben to rest and hear the voice.
TDKR brought the voices to ridiculous levels, absolutely. Bale was gargling marbles while suffering a severe bout of laryngitis and Nolan gave it the OK. I would be equally surprised and disappointed if they used something similar here. We are meant to learn from the past, not to repeat mistakes. To take the best aspects and bin the rest. Snyder has a red hot opportunity to show up Nolan here, who was not a heaven sent deity but simply another link in the Batman chain. Snyder must bring all his creative juice to the visuals and action.

Yes, but the proportion seems a bit odd with the wheels being that frickin huge. I just hope it doesn't stick out that much in the final.
So Kevin Smith said that the color of the suit is the same as that of TDKR. So I'm guessing we're getting a Blue and Grey suit. Kinda cool!

He's referring to the second suit from DK86, when he symbolically goes back to a costume that's closer to his roots. All the blue parts are replaced with black, the iconic yellow emblem replaced with that big fat black bat symbol. The utility belt was also a duller, less bright yellow than what he had in the first two issues. Kind of like when Rocky changed his shorts in his rematch with Clubber Lang.
So the "new" cowl...

Pretty much back to this again, but presumably with some kind of brilliant new neck turning design? Looks like there are deep creases in the jugular area. Hard to tell from one pic but it looks a seamless blend of the cowl onto the cape. Very disappointed they are going with black makeup around the eyes instead of white lenses. And the ears are even shorter now. Looks like the days of long eared Batman are long behind us. (Arkham Knight aside)
New utility belt is cool, large compartments. First black belt since Kilmer? The gloves/forearms are the kind of thing we've seen on other superhero costumes over the years, but never on Batman. I don't know if I buy them as protective gauntlets but it looks different at least. Hopefully he will have shinguards, unlike Bale.

It stayed blue through the entire book. The only time I've seen it not blue, are with some of those "black and white" statues, but they do all of their suits in the black and white. Even the regular statues and action figures keep it blue.

It looks fantastic!
I'm not gonna lie, I was really hoping for blue.
Black is fine, though. And I love the new Batsuit!

It looks similar to the Arkham Knight Batmobile, which I'm not really fond of. Some people say that parts of the car looks reminiscent to the '89 Batmobile, but I'm just not a fan of the influence that the Tumbler is having nowadays. Does anyone else think we'll see Batman cause some collateral damage with this car, like in the Nolan films?
Here is a bird's eye image of the Batmobile.

I won't lie, I still don't dig it. Hopefully it will look better on film.
I'm not crazy for it either, too much Tumbler influence.

From these angles, the new Batmobile looks a little better. At least it isn't as bulky as the Tumbler and Arkham Knight's Batmobile. Overall though, I'm still not sold.
Not really how I'd want the Batmobile to look, but not a bad effort either. I'm on the fence.
such a f***ing disappointment :( i was hoping they'd get something nice and sleek like the batmobile SHOULD be

Agreed. Every incarnation had it look like a car until Nolan brought in the tumbler, why are they basing it on Nolans vision?
High-res version:

And once again, the Batmobile has guns on it. Maybe this'll have a "Rubber bullets. Honest" moment.
But seriously, are the Dozier and Schumacher vehicles the only ones who didn't have guns on the car?
This is starting to remind me of the end of this parody sketch (Beware: graphic violence):

I hope so. I don't want another lame "no guns, no killing" double standard scenario like in Dark Knight Rises. That picture really does look like they copied Arkham Knight's Batmobile.
I don't care about the guns on the vehicles, as long as we don't have to hear about his no killing rule, and how he hates guns. If it's never brought up, it's fair game.
But Batman does hate guns and he doesn't kill, the modern version at least. I'm okay with it as long as he doesn't break his own rules willingly and then still says he doesn't kill.
There's a rumour circulating that one of the Batmobiles may have been stolen by some Detroit locals:

The Batmobile rumour has been dismissed, but now there's a new rumour saying that RoboCop apparently never got to see the reboot because he was ripped apart by hoodlums a couple of months ago.

Anyway, Zack Snyder decided to have a bit of fun by posting this on Twitter.

The suit is better than Nolan's. The car is better than Nolan's.
I'm liking the look of this. Everything else is just whinging at this point.
The suit is definitely better than Nolan's. The car though...I'm just rather indifferent. I'm glad it's a lot more sleeker but I'm still not a fan of its Tumbler influence i.e. the wheels. But to be fair, I think the filmmakers went for this design because it's easier to perform explosive stunts compared to an elegant model, like the 89 Batmobile.
Something tells me I'll appreciate the car when I see it on film...as long as it doesn't crush anything in its path like the Tumbler. ;)
The front yellow lights obviously evoke the B89 car. The front reminds me of the Schumacher vehicle. The overall aesthetic does have Tumbler elements, as well as Arkham Knight. There is, however, more of a car shape to this.
Will the Batwing or Batboat be in the movie?

Lies spread by OCP. Truth is RoboCop dismantled
himself so he wouldn't have to appear in RebootCop 2.

Snyder's awareness of the mythos seems almost entirely derived from The Dark Knight Returns, so there's a good chance we could see the Bat-Copter. But the Batboat and Batwing are less likely to make an appearance. Still, you never know.
A plane is possible given Superman's presence. I'm still holding out hope this Batmobile is a multi-function vehicle.

Frankly, I prefer the Tumbler. Design-wise, I think this new car is a mess.
Way too busy and lacking a clear silhouette.

Looks all right to me. It's basically a fusion of the Anton Furst design and the Tumbler. I've seen far worse designs.
too much tumbler, not enough anton.

Why wasn't something like
that the official picture. That looks much better!
I does look better, I'm pleased with it.
Still not quite as sleek as any of the original Batmobiles, but I can say it is a Batmobile. The Tumbler didn't have that; we had to be told it was a Batmobile. Interestingly enough, it does seem to be a hybrid of the '89 and the Tumbler, and I actually applaud that effort to combine two different interpretations.
Love what I've seen so far. The Batmobile does resemble the one from B89 and that puts a smile on my face. I wonder what Snyder's views are of B89? I know from a design standpoint, he's one of the top tier visual directors.
A teaser trailer can't come soon enough!
Here's a new look at the suit:

The Nolan fans will be squirming in their seats.
They'll say they're not excited. That they're not impressed. They'll be annoyed how people are fawning over the new kid on the block. Just as they fawned over Bale and TDK trilogy.
The Nolan crew tore down Burton with glee to justify their direction. But now the tide has turned. The chickens have finally come home to roost.
The visual style of Burton has returned, along with his passion for the fantastical. I'm not fond of people calling the 'old stuff' crap. But it definitely applies with Nolan's Batman.
They're going to get their own medicine. Nolan had three opportunities and he really only entered the bullseye once with BB. But that's still nowhere near the character's full potential.
Over to you, Snyder.
That is AWESOME!!!
And wow TDK I agree with you. What's wrong with me????
That shot reminds me of the 1989 Batsuit. Maybe it's too early to say it but I hope we'll see a solo Batman movie beside the JL movies.

It's already happening. I was at SHH yesterday, and some of the regular members in TDKR section are already saying that.
As for the new suit, I love it. I think it's the best looking live action Batsuit. And that battle worn look just adds to it. I think it looks great.

Really? What were the 'Nolanites' saying?
^Basically saying they weren't excited for it, how they don't understand why people have to make fun of TDK/R suit, etc etc.
Now, 30 sec of the teaser trailer have leaked. It's a horrible bootleg version of it, but it looks like we're getting another growl voice like Bale's. I'm pretty disappointed with it, but who knows, the sound is horrible in it. I'll definitely wait for a cleaner version, but so far, I hate the direction they went with the voice. Try to watch it before it gets taken down.
And if you can't understand what he says, it's, "tell me, do you bleed?.....you will!"

Luckily I read Portuguese so I could understand the subtitles. :) Yes, sadly it does seem like he was growling. :(
The voice is a tiny bit better than Bale's, as it doesn't sound like he's straining his throat, but I was hoping they would have understood how much that voice was mocked for a reason.
But again, the audio is pretty sh*tty, so I'll wait for a cleaner version.

Ha, there you go.
As for the voice in the leaked snippet? I can't really get a proper feel of it given the poor sound quality. But he's most definitely growling. In some ways, it could be a mix of Keaton and Bale. The overall growly nature of Bale with aspects of Keaton's whisper, especially the "you will" line. Anyway, bring on the HD version.
Well, the trailer leaked online. And it's just hilarious how this is all going. The Nolan fans all of a sudden being the authority on what is an acceptable Batman voice. I just have to laugh.
Their man gave us somebody with a severe case of laryngitis while gargling marbles. Affleck's voice is at least understandable and not comical like Bale's. And even if it's not your cup of tea, it could likely just be the mechanised suit's modulated version.
This is going to get dirty. But I'm ready, because boy, this isn't a mud hole. It's an operating table, and I'm the surgeon.
I watched the leaked trailer on CNET. I don't know if it's the same one as others watched or it's another version with cleaner audio, because Affleck's voice doesn't come across as guttural or 'growly' to me. Call me crazy, but I thought his voice was digitally altered and sounded electronic because he was wearing the Dark Knight Returns-styled armor. I'd say he sounds more like Ultron than Bale's Batman.
Am I the only one who thinks that Batsuit looks menacing even when nobody is wearing it? And Affleck does look imposing in that one shot of him wearing the costume.
As for the trailer, I'm neutral towards it. I don't like it, but I don't hate it either. It's only a teaser anyway.
It seems to me that Superman's impact on the planet following the events of Man of Steel are going to be addressed, but people will still bitch about the collateral damage from the last film. Yet, these very same people had no problem with Nolan's Batman doing the same thing; especially having no problem with Batman getting people killed because of his own blatant indecisiveness and incompetence in the second one. Bloody sheep.

Hahaha, you sound fed up with the hardcore Nolan apologists over the last few days. I don't blame you. I just hope you didn't jinx the film. ;)
As for Nolan Batman fans complaining about the voice, it's quite typical, isn't it? I seriously believe that many people are just brainwashed to like movies based on what the critics say. I seriously doubt a lot of these people would make the same criticisms about MOS if the critics gave that movie rave reviews. Hell, I'd even argue that had the critics never gave the Nolan movies any of the acclaim they never deserved, a lot of people might've hated them. I know it sounds like a very presumptuous thing to say, but the reason I suspect this is because there are just way too many people nowadays that justify why certain films are good only because of highly they scored on Rotten Tomatoes and so on. When people do that, you begin to doubt if they can think for themselves.
I had a listen to the voice again, and yeah, it's deep but modulated. He does come off demonic and ghostly at the same time, I think. I've only seen the bootleg, but I can safely say this Batman is the biggest and most imposing of any other live action product.
And his behaviour seems like it'll be dangerous and no-nonsense. Perhaps similar to Keaton's Batman from the finale of B89, but with years and years worth of acumilated experience behind him.
I can't help but be excited about this movie.
And it's funny, people will say it's not really a Batman movie at the core. But what an interesting statement that is. TDK Rises barely features Batman at all and mostly focuses on the dull Bane. Yet that movie isn't called Bane Rises.
This is most definitely a legitimate Batman movie even if he's just a part of it (no more than any of Batman film really) , and Superman makes for a more interesting foil than the Nolan Bane, believe me.
I don't dislike Nolan's films even if they're not my favorite interpretation of Batman, I think they did get some things right. However I dislike their fans because they keep bashing the older films and act like Nolan's are flawless.
I am convinced that some of those fans will start bashing this new Batman only because it isn't Nolan's. ::)
After seeing the full bootleg, you can hear the voice better, and I just don't like it. I do think it's better than Bale's, but I wanted a natural voice, not something that was modulated in post. He sounds like Jigsaw or the Reverse Flash. I'm not really a fan of Batman sounding like a villain.
I'm pretty disappointed in their decision on it. :(
Hate that the trailer's been leaked since most people's first look at this is in crappy cam quality. Same thing happened with Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises teasers/trailers years ago (I might be wrong but I think the same might've happened with the Man of Steel teaser that came with TDKR). The whole "see the trailer in theaters first" approach doesn't work anymore in this day and age and I don't know why the DC films keep doing it.
That said, I'm going to IMAX on Monday to see it onscreen and waiting for that to be my first time...
Disappointed in what I'm hearing about the voice :(
Count me among the patient ones (who knew? lol) who are waiting until it's released in good quality so I get the full effect. Waiting is easy when the other option is so awful in quality according to the peeps who've watched it.
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/DanielSipprelle/news/?a=119936
It looks like the shot from the trailer is definitely the Batwing.
Like with the Batmobile, I'd rank the Snyder vehicles as above Nolan's, but still below Burton and Schumacher's more comic book looking ones.
Yeah, for the first time, I'm really starting to appreciate Schumacher's visual approach. I guess the disappoint came from the fact that they immediately followed Burton's. Now that I think about it, Batman & Robin actually had the second best live action Batmobile IMO.

Is that what the front of the new Batwing looks like? That's disappointing. It resembles more of a UFO fighter jet.
I know directors can't keep rehashing the same ideas from the past, but this is sorely lacking.
The chassis looks very similar to the Batmobile's.
The wrong elements of the Nolan Franchise have been carried over sadly. I tried photoshopping it to be a bit more batwingy

^See, that already looks better.
That one section in the middle just distracts from the rest of the design and makes it look blocky. I like that you can see some influence carried over from the Batmobile, but it's still a bit divergent from what we're used to.
Agreed. It's a shame that we're getting such a classic comic Batsuit, but his vehicles are still stuck in the last era.
It would be nice if they like asked the actual Batman fans what kind of look they wanted for his vehicles and equipment. How they looked in the Baleman movies had noting to do with those sheep loving them, if they had been sleek and sexy like the Tim/Joel cars it would have been the all the same to them. Of course now the morons are going to diss anything that doesn't look like a f***ing tank, but it's fine because they don't matter but then it's not fine because those are the morons they use as their basis for what they do and I just hate people right now.

And here is the official synopsis of the film:
QuoteFearing the actions of a god-like super hero left unchecked, Gotham City's own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis's most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it's ever known before.

Love the costumes. Still not sold on Bat Buggy.
I like the cowl. They seem to have gotten that right. But I'm wishing there was a little more contrast between Batman and Superman in terms of fashion sensibilities. What were the chances they would both have textured suits with no shorts and similar capes? Is there a galactic tailor that services both of them? So there's a bit of designer overkill going on here. The Batmobile is largely a nonevent for me. It looks like a throw away concept from the Nolan films. Another military vehicle Wayne Enterprises made that the Government didn't want. My problem here is both the planes and Batmobile look too much like Nolan's creations. I would have preferred something entirely new with it's own sense of style not reminiscent from another series of movies.

I know it's suppose to be a tip of the hat to the Dark Knight Returns graphic novel, but for film, it feels maybe a little too derivative to Iron Man and those related elements from Marvel. My only concern with the regular bat-suit is the inverted production they applied here. You now have the stretch material on the outside with the rubber muscle suit on the inside. Not sure that sells all that well, but we'll see. I always have to watch these movies and see how these costumes move in light and shadow before I make up my mind. I have early concerns about tone and the general idea they're selling in the trailers, but I'm trying not to get too married to any opinions until I see the movie. I could walk out with completely different viewpoints. I'll definitely be there opening weekend. I love Batman!

I don't have an issue with the armoured suit. Batman has used various different outfits in his long career, and this is no different. The situation dictates your response. In Batman and Robin there were the snow suits to combat Mr Freeze, and here, he's up against Superman. So the choice is a logical one.
I just hope we'll see him in the normal Batsuit more than the armored suit.

I rather like that approach, myself. Snyder needed to visually distinguish his Batman from all that came before. He's done so and rather successfully. It gives the illusion of it being a fabric suit even though it can't possibly be. That works for me.

I think that's a given.

I'm still reserving judgment on the actual Bat-suit itself until I see it on film. I think the notion that all that rubber underneath is really him is a pretty hard sell...IF that is the suggestion. But it may not be. Given the perceived technological advances on display here, we may get some explanation for what he wears in normal garb. So I remain open minded to the ideas on display. And Dark Knight makes a good point about the armor too. If I can accept Clooney in a silver ice outfit to fight Mr. Freeze, this should be an easier sell. That's a good point.
Snyder has said the Batmobile was purpose built by Wayne himself. I much, much prefer this to Lucius gifting Wayne the vehicles in the Nolan trilogy.

Good. That should mean no more James Bond and Q starring in a Batman movie.
I heard Alfred gets his hands dirty and is a bit of a mechanic too.
Jeremy Irons can get his hands dirty with me anytime.
Wait, what were we talking about again?
I received my first piece of JL merchandise now that ZSJL is a reality.
This quality product to be precise: https://www.amazon.com/Jada-Toys-Justice-Batmobile-Die-cast/dp/B078519623
I have the standard BvS Batmobile, but owning the JL version never sat well with me. I'm comfortable branching out there now. So incredibly exciting that something that was ignored to spare oneself pain now brings excitement and enjoys pride of place.
One of my most anticipated scenes is Bruce attaching the main cannon to the vehicle, as I'm a big fan of him being hands on with his equipment. I just love how Zack tripled down after BvS and added more guns and missiles to the car.
