first off, let me just say that i think the new begins batsuit is awesome! i love the dynamics of the sculpt and can't wait to see it in action... i'm a big fan of the returns suit w/its geometric body armor, so needless to say i instantly took a liking to the begins armor (not to mention the killer utility belt)... that said, i decided to indulge my own personal preferences and tweak the latest pic to resemble what i think would have made an even better suit (stress on 'personal preferences')... i mostly worked on the cowl and neck by slimming it down... i also shortened/straightened the ears, widened the mouth opening, narrowed the eye holes and nose guard, and took out the secondary 'cheek ridge'... you can also see that i replaced the cape clips w/cowl fins (w/an extra fin added in the middle)... from there it was just a matter of nailing down colors that i think are a bit more reminiscent of year one batman... enough talk, here're a couple pics: what do you guys think? (and feel free to say what you don't like about the changes or what you would've also changed... it might compel me to make a new image based on LOG demands ;D)...

[shadow=red,left,300]It looks great Kid L. I really like the fact that you darkened the symbol, as I think they should have done that to begin with. I also like the suit minus the cape clips. I never dug those on the suits from the last two films (although that was a minor problem with the suits...*cough*nipples*cough*), and they still don't look right now.[/shadow]

Wow, that's awesome! The only thing that could be better, IMO, would be if he had the trunks, but that's just me. ;D They might not be visible if added, anyway.

DAAAMN DUDE, I gotta say thats a vast improvement IMO as well. I especially like the darkening of the emblem and cowl. The straightened ears and sharper mouth opening too. The only thing I would do dif is the the cape connection, I prefer the cowl seam to be more hidden and less "Keaton-esque". Man, those little refinements make this suite spades better, more appealing, more clasic/comic and dif from the 89+. I can only dream WB will fire up their CGI Tech and follow your lead!!

You did an incredible job at making that Kid!
But to be honest, I don't like it as much. I would have left the mask alone.

To be honest your revamp makes a lot more sense.The colour changes gives it that bit more of a traditional Batman feel,especially the symbol.I approve of all your changes and am glad you didn't mess with the Belt.I really like the design WB did on that. Great job!

That looks great! I have to say, I'm not a big fan of the costume in general -- I don't like the 'steel-gray' color. And when are they going to stop dressing him in rubber? But your changes are a definite improvement! The darker, less-blue gray, the black for the cowl and symbol, very nice. Someone send that pic to Warner Brothers, so they can see how good the suit could have looked!

thanks for all the comments guys!
begins hasn't even been released yet and i'm already anxious to see what they do to the suit for the sequel...
i don't mind the use of rubber so much, but it'd be nice to see some back-to-basics elements...

I really like your revamp on it. Everyone's already said it looks great, and they're right.
Still, I'm not a huge fan of the costume design that the movie's using, but your changes make it a lot better!

???Your adjustments look awesome.it'd be nice if the cape and cowl were one piece.I've always liked scenes from the comics where Bruce is working In the Batcave with the cowl just hanging off the cape.With the rubber cowls that doesn't seem to be a possibility.

I would get rid of all the detail they added to the abs, ditch the brackets and return to traditional gloves. I would also make the symbol the belt color...but that's just me. You did a great Job! ???Your adjustments look awesome.it'd be nice if the cape and cowl were one piece.I've always liked scenes from the comics where Bruce is working In the Batcave with the cowl just hanging off the cape.With the rubber cowls that doesn't seem to be a possibility. I agree, the 4HM showed how it should look!
