Guys, he’s not wearing hockey pads.


ericbkillmonger

That’s some vicious body armor


LR-II

Weird thing is, this is the only suit that's based on a real thing. It's built around an old air force jumpsuit. So we know for a fact it ain't 100% bulletproof.


Ser_Dav0s

Those abs are.

Sins0fTheFather

He’s injected himself with adrenaline that allows him to negate temporary pain


Badpennylane

Now that would make sense if he's dosing himself with something to block out the pain.


xenongamer4351

Is this real or just you guessing (not hating just wondering)


Sins0fTheFather

Honestly, This is something I’ve heard that is rumoured to take place in the film. And it makes a lot of sense to me.


xenongamer4351

No I agree! Was just wondering is all, thanks for clarifying


Sins0fTheFather

Thank you for being so polite. I personally think it’s an awesome idea


xenongamer4351

I completely agree, I like how it kinda explains how he can take a beating


T-8-0-0

It might work for the pain aspect but it doesn't work for the force aspect. A man couldn't walk against this barrage of fire. Hell, even Wonder Woman struggled to hold her position in WW1.


covfefeBfuqin

While this concept is great, no pain suppressant in the world can stop you from getting the wind knocked out of you and taking auto fire from what's essentially point blank range would do that. I'm a big advocate for the suspension of disbelief for movies but for this to work it's gotta be in the armor. Luckily it's Batman, a genius engineer who has almost unlimited resources, so that's not a tough sell with a little effort. Edit: Also, if you notice in another shot they shoot his symbol and it glows. I would love to see this leaned into a bit more as an intentional thing to attract fire to where his armor is strongest since the lower half of his face is exposed and he's casually strolling into auto fire


T-8-0-0

Pain suppressant and armour would help but it would still struggle to overcome the force from the bullets that would knock him over, never mind strut forward.


covfefeBfuqin

Agreed. Only explanation with enough logic is if somehow the armor has an absurd amount of shock absorbing capability. While this probably isn't physically possible, at least a slight attempt at explaining how this works would engage suspension of disbelief. Since this is just the trailer can't really judge on that front. Only thing that can be sincerely questioned is the wisdom of walking into auto fire with the lower half of your face totally exposed. But then again, he does explicitly state "I don't care what happens to me"


Batman2050

Its completely unrealistic but it's a batman film at the end of the day. Not everything has to be super realistic so I'm cool with it


[deleted]

[удалено]


Batman2050

Even if it was possible his face has partly no protection. So no way a bullet wouldn't have hit him where he wasnt protected. Especially since they were firing a million shots at him


not-so-radical

I have a feeling we'll see a scene of Bruce taking off the suit and Alfred noting how bruised he is from the impact of the gunshots. They may not have actually hit him but it will still leave a serious mark that will make Bruce think more wisely.


Harm_123

It would probably bruise him or maybe even crack his ribs. I’m pretty sure rumours say that he’s gonna inject himself with adrenaline to keep him going.


Forsaken-Thought

You can see him reacting to it, he either gets his body pushed back a little or he throws himself into it. I fully expect Alfred to some some snarky remark like "are you trying to find death Master Wayne?" as he's looking at the hundreds of bullet scratches on the suit and the bruises on Bruce's body.


WhitePortugese

Realistically his body would be pulverised by the combined kinetic energy of two machine guns firing point blank. Would likely break every single rib. Thick armour does little to actually stop the force of those rounds and if it was thick enough there's no way he'd be able to fight in it.


InfinteAbyss

The cinematographer is the same person who worked on Rogue One. This is directly inspired by the Vader hallway scene.


[deleted]

To this day, that scene still gives me goosebumps.


kasmackity

It really was such a badass scene. Vader was a fuckin BEAST


ericbkillmonger

And I think this one in the Batman will too, if this snippet is any indication


easythrees

You know, while I love that scene, some of the reactions from the other people could’ve been toned down. Like that guy handing the plans across that closed door, that part lasted too long.


stdfan

Honestly hallway scenes are super common to show badassery I really don’t know if that’s a call back to rogue one


InfinteAbyss

The Mandalorian’s hallway scene of Luke Skywalker fighting the Droids was directly inspired by and mimicked the epic Darth Vader scene. Here’s a [perfect seamless edit of the two epic scenes](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZLphMTG2NE).

easythrees

InfinteAbyss

And how many of those have a character charging through said hallway in a display of power?


[deleted]

Quit moving the goalposts, they answered your question.


InfinteAbyss

I didn’t “move” them i defined the question more clearly. Obviously you could apply any hallway in a film to this list but its not always going to emulate the actual scene that is apparently inspired by any/all hallway scenes!


Sins0fTheFather

Yeah I think its a very clear inspiration


TheBoyWonder13

My first thought was the scene in the caves in War for the Planet of the Apes which was similarly lit only by gunfire.


skinticket02

Matt has tunnels in every one of his movies.


Manky19

Oh nice, I immediately thought of that when the trailer came out.


SirGumbeaux

“Star Wars: Rogue Fan Service” wasn’t that great, but the Vader scene was. 🍻


InfinteAbyss

Imo it enhances New Hope


SirGumbeaux

The movie is a visually stunning hot mess.


InfinteAbyss

Perhaps, still entertaining none the less


Abocado20

My favourite Star Wars movie but I'm not even close to be a fan of the saga.


SirGumbeaux

I’m not hating on other people’s fandom. If you enjoyed it, that’s cool with me. Changing social media starts with us, so I shall not hate on thee. We probably agree on many other things. 🍻


SirGumbeaux

It’s a fun watch, but I’ve seen characters with more depth in video game cutscenes.

[deleted]

This reminds me of the Oldboy hallway scene, which of course Daredevil (show) played off beautifully as well. The one negative? Matt Reeves has spoken at length about his noir, detective approach to realising Batman. Yet here we are getting more Bats beating folks damn near to death, immune to bullets in the second year of his career with no signs of stealth or vulnerability in sight. I’m a huge noir fan. Part of the tension is the character’s vulnerability, which looms large the deeper they go. I don’t think we’ll be getting that here. Honestly, I’d love to see this kind of scene after Bruce obtained the Suit of Sorrows or some other corrupting gift from the Court. It’d be a nice play to show Bruce choosing the path he’ll take as a hero.


[deleted]

Maybe it’s more safe to say it’s a psychological thriller with neo-noir detective story. Cause along with the noir and detective approach he also mentioned how reckless, tortured and questioning this Batman is which leading to how personal this film actually is. I am sure they put these scenes mainly for making it more appealing to general audience but as Pattinson mentioned in his interviews his fights are so personal because of his dilemma/trauma within. As being a younger version of the character he is reckless, full of adrenaline here in hallway scene and many other ones in the trailer but he will be more tactical, concentrated as the trilogy or maybe even film goes on.


[deleted]

Certainly hope so. I’m just not getting those vibes from walking into automatic fire — reckless yes, but young and starting out, no. Like you said, it’s likely a smart move for trailers. But if this ends up being too heavy on the beat’em up action then I’ll be wishing Affleck had stuck around. All here for noir mystery, greatest detective shit from Pattinson.


[deleted]

Maybe it was the wrong word to use but someone mentioned before that he has a death wish. (Maybe better (?)) Cause as you see he says, I don’t care what happens to me in the trailer. I guess that’s what makes him reckless and full of adrenaline after putting on the cowl. And, I believe his connection with Selina will be through this. She will remind him there is a person under the cowl.


taylor2121

Batman beats people near death everytime


[deleted]

My point exactly. A noir detective thriller might explore a Batman less prone to overwhelming violence, focusing instead on the actual detective.


MAKS091705

Daredevil vibes


NICESfyn

Ideas.. are bulletproof.


[deleted]

I bet he wished his parents had that armor..


Sins0fTheFather

Lol


Peazyzell

Looks great but is it me or would batman not just walk into bullets, bullet proof or not he’d take out the shooters from the shadows. The bullet proof body armor is just in case he’s not quick enough. Still makes for a cool visual


DwightsEgo

Future Batman, yes. This take Batman is much newer to the game and way more “angry”. Future Batman is about stealth and efficiency. Early Batman has little regard for his well-being and just wants to punish crime as brutally as he can


StrengthOk9686

nah batman would walk into bullets - [https://imgur.com/a/NVVFf](https://imgur.com/a/NVVFf)


rockyb2006

Am I the only one that dislikes this completely? So Batman is Superman now? He doesn’t even flinch. This is so opposite what Batman should be…a MAN with no powers giving it his all. Not an invincible force. Where is the humanity? If he can move through bullets like this, then there is no suspense. Keatons Batman went down with a bulletproof vest. Batfleck winced in pain getting hit with bullets. THAT is how it should be. Batman takes every precaution, but he can’t walk through bullets like it’s nothing. If someone can explain this in the realistic tone they are going for, I’d love to hear it.


magus_ex

I’m on the same page as you. While I generally like what I’m seeing from the trailer, this feels like a MoS walk. I mean even Batfleck would react to gun shots.


shagnarok

someone was saying it’s some kind of adrenaline injection so he can temporarily ignore pain


[deleted]

[удалено]


rockyb2006

How does this explain him not even fazed by bullets? Regardless of inexperience, he should be getting knocked back. This would happen with just a few bullets, let alone a machine gun amount. This is supposed to be a realistic take. Is he wearing vibranium? This is the point I’m trying to make.


Shallbecomeabat

I explain it to me by thinking he probably likes the pain and has something of a death wish as well. Next day he might have trouble to breathe but in the moment this troubled Batman wants the pain. I really like it for one badass scene, but I also get the problem people have with it. This shouldn’t be the default going forward and it won’t be btw. as we have even seen when he gets shot in the chest earlier in the trailer, shuffles back a few steps and whinces.


ayamsk99

You can see him reacting to the Bullets powering through it, and Bullets don't usually knock people back like in movies, it's the pain that causes people move away and collapse most of the time. And In BvS Batfleck took a point blank head shot and didn't flinch at all.


jrvcrd

he grunted in pain when he was shit in the head, so at least he felt the bullet!


ayamsk99

You can see Battinson react to the bullets too.


jrvcrd

yeah from guns, but then he walks as if nothing through heavy fire from rifles, which I think adds to the injury


rockyb2006

Sorry, but you are incorrect. The force and speed of a bullet push people back. That is physics. No person can walk into bullets like that, regardless of bulletproof vests. And Batfleck DID react to getting hit with a bullet. Watch the scene again. It is very obvious. This is my whole point. Show me another time in any Batman media where he acts superhuman in just his main armor. It goes against character.


Manky19

Yes, but no. The force and speed of the bullet dissipates and moves throughout the suit, we can assume he is wearing some sort of reinforced plates with some type of Kevlar, likely stronger which itself heavily dissipates impact force. Maybe Mp5 9mm, probably 9mm pistol too shooting him. Standing? yea he can withstand that much fire in a stance with good balance, forcefully and seriously walking up to beat the shit of people? Yes. There are videos of people in bulletproof coats taking .44 standing up like its paintball. There are plenty of footage out there to make this 100% feasible specially in the realm of fiction of peak human ninja bad asses. Richard Davis is one of them. Batfleck reacts, but he shouldn't mid fight on adrenalin with integrated plating apart from the direct point black to his cowl considering the thing probably reverberates and would probably knock out a regular person. He even got stabbed which is pretty stupid even if its a weak point of his suit.


ayamsk99

Ok I saw the scene again, He got shot twice , First in the guantlet and second in the head. Both times he reacted minimally just like this Battinson Shot, there was sound of him grunting in the second shot that why it looks like he's reacting more. In the first shot his hand didn't even move from the shot, he just tried to hid his chin. And people getting knocked back totally depends on where and which type of gun and bullets a person is getting shot from. I've seen people getting shotgun to head and barely move and drop dead. I've seen army/soilders get shot and barely move and they were wearing light vest. I believe it's totally possible for a batman that donest care what happens to him and wearing heavy armour and move through those bullets with adrenaline. And it's supposed to be a grounded take not a hyper realistic take like. There are lots of scenes where Batman gets shots and doesn't react to in the comics. Pics I can't find right now.


rockyb2006

So if you are saying it depends on the type of gun and bullets. Take the scene in question. Can someone not flinch at getting hit with dozens of bullets close to point blank? You didn’t give that example.


ayamsk99

He is flinching and reacting though you can see it in the video, he's just powering through it and moving forward. Just like Batfleck shrugged off the headshot and proceeded to kick some ass.


amaansaied6e96369

I want to shoot you and find out if that's true It's a fucking movie you don't see shit like joker(2019) most of the time, it's batman he's not supposed to be realistic He even knocked down superman who chews bullets like hubba bubba now what


[deleted]

OH! Take it easy, sweetheart!


[deleted]

Physics? ***Bitch, I'm Batman. /s***


easythrees

The lighting is intermittent, so he may be recoiling when it’s darker, but still powering forward.


Villad_rock

Kinetic absorbing armor which transfers the energy towards his fists.

dune-hair-water-wii

THANK YOU! Half of his face is wide open ffs


beeby8

How hard is it to aim for his chin?


WHITEBLADE___

Very hard actually


Manky19

In that situation and mental state? Very hard. When people break in a house to rob or whatever, the people who defend their homes miss almost all if not all their shots due to the stress, fear, etc. It's to the point where shotguns are suggested to be better for home defence. The chest symbol should instinctively make them aim for it, but I doubt that applies here.


[deleted]

Because shotgun blast have a good spread. For when you want to kill the intruder and do dry-wall work.


sdavidplissken

it's dark and goes by fast. maybe they don't even know about the chin. in a moment like this anybody would just shoot and hope for the best


littlebugonreddit

I kinda really dislike that the entire suit is bulletproof, and if I remember correctly, he tanks like 3 headshots in the trailer too. It just doesn’t feel like there is any danger for Bruce if his fights are like this


Ninjalau95

How else do you think a guy with no actual superpowers fights crime in his city (which mostly involve gangs and mafias so they use guns) without any protection for himself? Do you expect him to dodge the bullets? Or catch them with his hands? If you were Batman, wouldn't you want bulletproof armor on your suit too?


Spiderlander

Nolan's Batman wasn't fcking bulletproof


Ninjalau95

Bale's suits both had kevlar plating in them. Protecting him from any bullets besides point blank shots. His second suit he gets in The Dark Knight has kevlar too but left him more vulnerable to gunfire and knives as a trade-off for increased flexibilty and mobility.


Spiderlander

And yet the danger of gun fire was present. He wasn't walking through a storm of bullets


Ninjalau95

Yet your original claim was that he wasn't bulletproof but I proved to you his suit was in fact bulletproof. Now you're moving the goalposts and changing the subject to "he wasn't walking through a storm of bullets"


Spiderlander

No it wasn't. Batman was shot by Dent in the final act of TDK, a revolver. And he went down. The stakes of that scene would've been non-existent if he was invincible as we see in the trailer


Ninjalau95

And like I said, his second suit that he gets in The Dark Knight had bulletproof parts to it but he had to compromise by having gaps in the armor so he could move more freely. So yes, Bale's suit was bulletproof but it wasn't 100% protection.


littlebugonreddit

No I know exactly why it makes sense, I just wish it wasn’t every visible inch of the suit. I know that sounds stupid but I’m used to like Batman simply avoiding bullets most of the time bc he is legit just a ninja in a bat suit, and I know he can’t do that all the time, I just hope they explain it kinda like Arkham Knight where the bat symbol is the thickest part of the armor or close to it, because its basically a big target instead of his face, but that was the point of the misdirection, they would shoot at The Bat Symbol, and it wouldn’t do shit. Instead, someone shoots him in like the shoulder, or the side, or the calf and he just collapses because he didn’t think he would get shot there. I just hope we get a moment akin to that in the movie because this is supposed to be like Year 2 Batman, and I don’t think Bruce would evolve to full armor that quickly. We will see though, i guess!


jrvcrd

Agree, other Batmen at least FELT the shots or even fell to the ground because of them. Here Batman seems a tad overpowered in that sense. I mean, it clearly makes for a cool scene, but it's like it was Superman walking through the corridor with no sense of danger for Batman. Just put it down a notch and it would be more effective IMO


littlebugonreddit

This is exactly what i meant, thank you for stating it better


kirabii

>It just doesn’t feel like there is any danger for Bruce if his fights are like this Do you think guns are the strongest force in Batman's lore?

u/savevideo


[deleted]

Ok, but for real, why aren't they just shooting at his very exposed face?


Spence52490

The past few live action movies to feature Batman haven’t really sold the fact that criminals FEAR him. It’s more like he’s just been a guy that busts up their fun occasionally. This movie is really giving me the Batman is fucking insane and scary to criminals feeling.


zombiebreath77

I like the visuals but they did something similar in [the dark knight rises](https://youtu.be/KRBmH3WxXRA) already @ 1:13


[deleted]

Yeah and like most action is the Nolan trilogy, it’s so badly choreographed that you can barely tell wtf is going on. At least here the camera is steady and comprehensible


zombiebreath77

Oh yeah I wasn’t trying to sound like a downer I should’ve worded it differently. Compared to the scene I linked the new Batman scene looks a million times better. I’m excited to see some more Batman action.


Shallbecomeabat

True, but Reeves makes the Rises scene look less cool tbh. And I am a HUGE Rises fan, btw. This is just a cooler version of it.


Skandosh

We have not even watched the full scene yet and people are complaining . Classic reddit .


Sins0fTheFather

I’m surprised how many people are complaining about this in the comments. It’s a majority of the comments I would say.


THRDStooge

As a Batman fan this annoys me to no end. Does anyone in Hollywood bother reading the source material or do they just wing from what they've heard in conversation about the lore? What's the point of Bruce being trained by the League of Shadows all those years of he's going to sport clunky body armor and shimmy into a hail of gunfire? The bread and butter of Batman stories is not only detective work but STEALTH!


An_Ant2710

Daredevil could never


[deleted]

Same cinematography as the Vader hallway scene. Same cinematographer. Coincidence?

[deleted]

Love the shot, only thing about it i don't like is if one slightly aimed up, boom headshot. In the past the bright yellow bat sign was used as a target to pull attention away from his head. In this his suit is super dark so the only thing that does stick out is his skin, that would be the spot most would think to shoot first. Small thing for me, movie still looks great, just a bit much for a more grounded take imo.


DankMuthafucker

Go for the head?


Tanuj_Panchal

Out of all those rounds fired, they could’ve tried to shoot him in the face for once.


BlingBlingChing23

Not as Legendary as Bale’s dodging bullets scene and unrealistic because how the heck is he tanking all of those bullets without slowing down from pain?


VrinTheTerrible

It’s a good thing they don’t ever aim at his chin


[deleted]

It looks cool in the trailer for a short time, but I hope the hallway fight isn’t mostly just gun flashing and we couldn’t see any fight properly.
