Here is the first look at Bruce's new costume from the covers of Batman Inc #1 in the November Solicits. I really like it.

Jesus. What is that on his chest, a spotlight? A napkin holder? Or is he just emulating Iron Man?

Yellow oval = good.
Raised platform = ludicrous.

The piping is clearly visible in the link posted.

[Admiral_Young]

Sorry should have clarified I saw the piping I was meaning what did you mean about the costumes Ra's thugs wore?

^oh, that was from a storyline in the 90's around the time of the Azreal/Batman storyline. When Bruce was going to retake the mantle that time, the artists came up with a bunch of updated costumes for Batman. The one they used ended up only having very minor changes from the classic costume. They then used all of the other designs in a storyline where Rah's men were impersonating the real Batman and Bruce went around taking them down. (IF I remember correctly)

^Ahhhh okay for some reason I'm not remember it lol.

Lordy that costume is ugly, it would be much better without the piping.

[Admiral_Young]

Yeah the piping is the only thing i don't like about it...don't mind the elevated oval.

hate the elevation. All that damn thing needs now are clock hands and a gold chain.

Agreed...and the piping is awful. Non-raised oval...no piping...then it will be good.

What you're describing is body paint, not a costume. In 2010, it's ludicrous to keep designing superheroes costumes as if they were still drawn in the same relatively simplistic style as the 1960's.

Really?

Imagine this costume drawn...no piping and the oval is only slightly raised.

http://bruehoyt.com/superheroes/DC/b...manbegins1.jpg < This one you could add the oval to and it would look great and I believe an artist wouldn't have a problem illustrating it.

[edit] Maybe like this but illustrated



excuse my horrible photomanip.

Dude it's an universe where magic rings exist and people regularly come back from the dead, the technology required to make costumes without seams is neither here or there.
