What on earth don't you like? Not knocking you or anything, it's just that it almost looks like the comic come to life! Haven't heard anyone not like it yet.
I think it's great!
I'm not surprised at all.
Joss is from the theater where there is no such thing as bad art. Every creative endeavor is has value and no experience from art is negative.
Thats probably the healthiest wat to look at the world and life.
Film criticism is arguably a worthless profession.
Well, I agree with you about the ears. They don't have to be ridiculously long, but maybe a half-inch to an inch more would be nice.
As to the size of the suit, it actually makes sense.
Batman has honed his body to physical perfection, and Bruce Wayne is not a small person to begin with (neither is Ben Affleck, for that matter). I think it would look wrong for someone of his stature to be lean so far into his career as Batman. He doesn't have to have the perfectly chiseled physique with the washboard abs or the cobra back. Bats isn't about appearance. He's about power.
Superman, due to his Kryptonian heritage, can look like a 98-pound weakling and still bench-press a planet. His musculature is purely for show.
Here's a good infographic that, to me, explains why Batman is so big and wide:
Superman is Form. Batman is Function.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Iggy Pop has hit the 'roids haha. But I could be wrong.
Not a fan of the guns on the front of the Batmobile. Looks tacked on and toyish.

I see what you're saying and I'd even go so far as to say I agree with you. I guess my thing is it looks like they added a few layers of padding to the suit that, because Affleck has such a big imposing figure, isn't really needed.
Other than to add texture and necessary protective qualities (Batsy can't dodge every bullet or knife) I think the suit is quite well fitted.
Ben Affleck is 6'4" tall, three inches taller than Henry Cavill. According to Jennifer Garner, the man already has 17" biceps and has been working out 5-6 times a week for over a year. He ain't small, so the suit has to be big to allow for all the extra stuff like body armor, and will be even bulkier when he puts on the power suit to fight Superman.
I think the size of the suit is just fine.

Do we know for a fact that they're guns? Seems to me they could just as easily be some form of advanced microphones for Bats to listen in from the comfort and protection of the Batmobile when he's surveilling suspects.

I'm gonna get all three of these costumes on mannequins in my apartment living room I don't care how crazy people think I am X ). On a serious note though the 89' Batmobile had machine guns and they were used non-lethally so I'm sure it'll be a similar scenario in this film.
