3. The Bat Suit
Heres where the arguments begin. I dont like Nolans Bat-suit. I didnt like the cumbersome look in Begins and I dont like the streamlined version in the Dark Knight. The cowl looks too much like a helmet. Bales face looks crushed in the jaw line cut and the fact we can barely see the Bat-symbol simply annoys me. Yes, I get the arguments. Its easier to move in, its more realistic, its more real world. In a movie were a man is dressed as a bat, has an unstoppable batmobile tank and in Dark Knight Rises a Bat-plane-helicopter thing and goes up against villains with fear toxins I can leave real world believability at the door. Visually the Nolan suit works in the world of Nolans Batman but once again, its Batman Returns that seems a better version for me. Look at that suit. That is Batman brought to life. His silhouette would tell you who he was immediately. When he fights the cape flows with every move and the Bat-symbol is there for the world to see. As is tradition, a new director means a new suit. So Id like to see something midway between between comic cook Batman Returns customer and Nolans real world fit. Arguable, thats what the Batman Begins costume was but thats such a goofy looking version of the Batsuit really.
