Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

[Solo4114]

You know, at least in its film wing, I'm finding that my reaction to DC's design choices is a resounding "Meh. Whatever." I find nothing about any of this to be exciting. Not in the slightest. It doesn't look terrible (well, except for the Joker's MySpace page thing), but it sure doesn't look good or inspiring or intriguing.

It's kind of amazing how, with these awesome properties, and with successes in other types of media (e.g. video games -- I'm excited about Arkham Knight, television -- I love the Flash and Arrow shows) that DC can't seem to find its footing with its film franchises.

In regards to the problems with that Batman photo - his chest is too small in comparison with his shoulders.

That Batwing - eh. they should have went with something closer to the one use in Arkham Origins.

It probably leaves a watery area and is capable of aquatic landings

 

[Robiwon]

The new Batwing really reminds me of the Protector from Galaxy Quest......

Planes that can land on water still look like planes. This would still look like a boat.

Why do these always have look like they're unflyable?

Sure...designs could go any way they want really.

Because in Hollywood "cool and stylish" beats "practical and possible".

I have yet to like a bat vehicle on screen. They never work for my vision of the character. This incarnation included.

We should have a rpf bat vehicle design contest

I've always liked this concept model. Wish I could find a cast of it. Never been a fan of the military style vehicles.

The only ones I ever liked were the superpowers toy and the one for the animated series, "the batman:

They're not making your version of Batman, they're making their own.

Sure. But why else are we in this forum if not to pull apart all that is sacred and holy?

And superheroes are the best for this. There's no canon. They just keep being reinvented all the time by hundreds of different artists.

I'm not a fan of the military ones either. But I'd love to see something along the lines of an armor plated Lamborghini. It shouldn't be a tank. It should be fast, protected, and stealth like.

The fact is, every time that thing enters gotham, its got to get back to the bat cave undetected.

Something like the Sesto Elemento?

Something like that. But with star wars style hull plating and no windshield, opting instead for radar. I like the idea that his vehicles are as blind as a bat

Just give me a good story, that's all.
