EW has a new pic of Bale in the Batsuit. On sale this Friday.

I actually really like that shot of the suit. Also Bleeding Cool reported yesterday that tickets are already being sold for the screenings. They're close to be sold out soon.

 

[Samurai8472]

Larger version. Can't wait to see the batcave.

 

[Trekker4747]

Yeah. I really don't like the Batsuit. It's too busy.

 

[Samurai8472]

It is the same one from "The Dark Knight" just made to look aged and rusted looking.

 

[Trekker4747]

Oh, I know. But that's just it, I've never liked it. It's always just been too busy looking. And the lines on the cowl just make it too pinched and angular looking.

 

[Skywalker]

I love that batsuit because it actually looks like body armor rather than cheap rubber.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ I agree.

 

[Nowhere Man]

I'd like to see a bigger bat logo.

 

[Admiral_Young]

^ Yep. That'd be my one gripe with the suit design.

 

[JacksonArcher]

I'm so glad I have a subscription to Entertainment Weekly.

 

[Broccoli]

^ Yep. That'd be my one gripe with the suit design.

I blame Bryan Singer....

I think he gives up being Batman, and continues the work of his father, as Bruce Wayne. That would create a nice circle, in my opinion.

In Batman Begins, Wayne thought fighting crime needs a symbol that cannot be destroyed. In TDK, we see that the symbol actually makes things worse, and that you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

I tried coming up with something I thought would make a good Batman story and ended up with something similar. If the movie has some finality to it though, Bruce will either end up crippled, dead or exposed as Batman. Retirement leaves the door open.

Yep, looks like a real combat suit you can actually move in. The Batman Begins suit looks very bulky in comparison. This is streamlined, lighter, realistic for fighting, running etc. Same goes for the bat logo. I don't think there needs to be much emphasis on it with this type of suit.

 

[Agent Richard07]

Looks a bit like a bobblehead with that helmet though.

 

[sonak]

^ Yep. That'd be my one gripe with the suit design.

they already know he's Batman. Having a huge logo just screams "insecure."

 

[Broccoli]

^ Yep. That'd be my one gripe with the suit design.

Yet, he drives a tank...

 

[Captain Craig]

^ Yep. That'd be my one gripe with the suit design.

I blame Bryan Singer....

I blame....X-Men:The Last Stand

 

[RoJoHen]

^ Yep. That'd be my one gripe with the suit design.

I blame Bryan Singer....

I blame....X-Men:The Last Stand

I ignore The Last Stand, so it's hard to assign it blame.

EW Nolan interview:

The Batcave is back! So is the waterfall, lake, and a new plastic cabinetry that rises from the water with the push of a button.

Christian Bale on wearing the Batsuit for the last time:

My last day in the suit was also the last day of shooting for me. I was in New York, on top of a downtown skyscraper. The day begin with Morgan Freeman and then ended with Anne Hathaway. I got to say goodbye from within the batcowl.
