Interesting. First impression: looks good.

Kinda dig it. It sort of looks like paintball armor though (just the bicep and shoulder strap stuff). Didn't he paint over the "techie" bits in the first film?
Can't wait to see what the little bat razors look like

Re: Man, that DARK KNIGHT suit looks cool
I've never been a big Batman guy, myself (unless you count all of 1969, but I was six and it was on TV heh heh), but this version looks pretty damn cool. It's hard to see in this scan, but under the armor plates, there's a webbed/laced pattern to the undersuit which gives it a pretty cool look.
And making the cowl a separate piece so Bale can turn his head makes it look like a Jim Lee drawing come to life.
I may have to start doing some sit-ups.

Re: Man, that DARK KNIGHT suit looks cool
My first impression is a bit mixed... Really glad they slimmed down the neck area and the new gauntlets look pretty cool, but overall it just seems too busy/layered. Then again, I wasn't too fond of the Begins suit either when I first saw it, but now I love it! Being the Bat-fan I am, I expect the same will apply to this suit...

I'm not a big Batman fan either, but this looks cool. Yes, it looks like paintball/motocross armor, but I think it works. Its a departure from the "realistic muscle suits" that get old after a while.

Re: Man, that DARK KNIGHT suit looks cool
Looks like a good evolution of the suit to me, I like it. Hopefully with the more armored & utilitarian look it means that the movie will portray just how brutal the nighttime streets were & why the bat was feared. I just cross my fingers and hope the story doesn't deviate from its more reality based roots the current franchise incarnation has (ie... Schumacher gets a beat down if he gets anywhere near the script with a pen & revisions in mind).
At least with a 200 piece batsuit, Bob will be kept busy for awhile & we'll get to see more of his awesome batsuit work.

Re: Man, that DARK KNIGHT suit looks cool
The batsuit in the last film looked pretty bad in early promo photos, it really wasn't until you saw it in the context of the film, and how the costume evolved and became a fun and interesting element to the story that you really learned to appreciate it. I agree that in this photo the suit looks too busy to me, but I'm guessing in the context ofthe film it'll work brilliantly. CAN'T FRIGGIN WAIT!!

Looks like they went for a cycle armor look. That jibes with the "bat-cycle" rumors I've heard.

New Batsuit... no nipples!
Well, I guess the old Batsuit just wasn't comfortable enough.. so, they made a new one. I must say, it looks pretty nifty... turn back now if you don't want to be SPOILED!
