I like it. It's a bit more of a segmented armor than most of the other onscreen suits have been, but it's pretty good. The bat symbol is a lot more abstract than I was expecting.
 
That music definitely reminded me of Batman TAS

It's weird that the symbol looks like some sort of tech that just happens to be roughly batwing-shaped. I don't think I care for that, but at least it has some reflectivity and isn't yet another symbol that's the same color as the rest of the suit or slightly darker. (I still miss the yellow oval.) But he looks good in the cowl. His chin reminds me of Peter Weller as RoboCop.
 
Since this movie is supposed to very personal to Bruce there's speculation he fashions the suit with parts of the guns that killed his parents

I can see it. The bat symbol also looks like two guns facing each other

I'm thinking that the symbol consists of two batarangs, each one hinged shut. Not a symbol at all, but easily accessed weaponry.

I prefer that to the gun idea. Batman making his symbol out of guns is a terrible idea. Why choose to symbolize yourself with the very thing you renounce and despise the most? That's the exact opposite of what symbols are used for. The only thing that would make less sense is if he wore a Joker card on his chest.

I think there's a big difference between "I'll base my symbol on something that irrationally frightens me and a lot of other people, especially criminals who are a superstitious and cowardly lot" and "I'll wear the actual physical object that murdered my parents on my chest." The former is understandable -- the latter is sick and depraved.
