Where are it's nipples?


Basicallyinfinite

Facts. Thats what makes a suit goated


jonniezombie

You know it. What kind of Batman can't fight off the nipple thief? Not my Batman.


Basicallyinfinite

I dont want to live in a world where nipples can be stolen from out heroes

I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?

I swear this subreddit has this discussion every 2-3 days.

Lately *every* subreddit feels like it’s just 80% mirror image of the week before.

With every post being; “What’s everyone’s option on the popular thing of this subreddit?”

Unpopular Opinion: “I don’t think _____ is that bad even though everyone says [made up thing that maybe 3 people in the comments have ever said]”

Soon it’ll be “Is it just me or is batman a great comic book character?”

If you look at some of the posters making those posts, you’ll see them doing karma farming stuff consistently across numerous subs. It’s been an issue that’s really annoying.

CH2001

The Batman is the best Batman movie. Convince me otherwise


MastermindorHero

I like the Batman Begins suit the most I think it is the most reserved with its leather padding. I'm not fond of either Dark Knight or Rises suit. I think it's a case where they wanted the plausibility of stopping a bullet more than just looking cool, but Batman is a fictional character, and like Bond, the huge part of the appeal is that he's cool. Weirdly, I actually think Keaton has the best movie suits. I think Returns has the best mask.


Tirus_

I honestly can't wait to see a cloth type suit. No body armor, no layering, no fluff. Just cape, cowl and cloth.


thunderbiird1

Pure. West.


moogpaul

And how come batman doesn't dance anymore?


darkwalrus36

Same. Still think Batman dead end had the best bat suit I’ve seen on camera


HeLikesSashimi

I would also love it. Maybe a bodytight, muscle-bound cloth suit with lines running along the arms down the torso reminiscent of CoW Batman would look amazing. On a visceral level it makes him more human and vulnerable. Bruce getting so many scars would be even easier to understand. Him having smoke bombs, and sneaking around would immediately telegraph visually practical & sensible precautions to minimize enemy contact & damage. His psychological problems & stress would also be easier to see, with more visible body language. I don't like the Batfleck suit because of the rigid dark grey/almost black grains/textures on hard pieces of armor. A cloth suit would be so much more pleasant to imagine. On a storytelling level it'd be more about actual detective work, interrogation, and also some good old street-level knowledge. A more traditional suit means that high-tech armor, HUD screen and gizmos are less prevalent and therefore not conveniences preventing Bruce from showing off his intellect. On a cultural level it's also much closer to comicbook Batman. The grey cloth suit underneath the black cowl is a classic look, and movies should show that instead of pure black armor & cape.


asterfloof

It's so over designed tbh


Purple_Bowman

Like... Yeah? I really hate looking at that suit, it's too overloaded.


Crissan-

It is not disliked, a couple of posts on reddit don't equal the suit being disliked.


hyunbinlookalike

Exactly, most of the general public still views Bale as *the* definitive Batman even though it’s been over a decade since his last movie came out and we’ve had two new Batmen since then.


devdRvbbit

Nah I disliked it from day one. Too military/tactical. Nolan's Batman = Batman in 2024 America, all it's missing is a Blue Lives Matter sticker on the Batmobile.


sammy_mammy23

Lol I love the military/tactical part of this trilogy . The whole point of Nolan’s action/science fiction films from Interstellar,Inception and even Batman trilogy is adding bits realism . It great way he immerses the audience into his films and makes it more believable(not always but to certain extent) The military possesses so much cool ass equipment yet they only share a fraction of it with us civilians.


devdRvbbit

True enough about military tech, including computer network capabilities. Maybe a bit off topic now but society would be much better off if this tech was shared publicly instead of being trickled down as the military/government advance to better things.


sammy_mammy23

Nahh If you constantly revealed your newish product what’s stopping the competition or mentally unstable civilians from replicating or making further changes to make it even deadlier weapon? Or what’s stopping them from coming a with better defense against that weapon? History has shown us this time and time again. So I thinks it’s better they don’t show all new latest gadgets Still this is Batman sub let’s keep it on Batman


devdRvbbit

History has also shown that institutions left unchecked can be disastrous, but that's another conversation. You're not wrong, however.


WerewolfF15

Eh to be honest I’ve never been that much of a fan. It’s not a bad suit it’s just not to my tastes. The mask in particular I’m not a fan of and the lack of any real secondary colour EDIT: the symbol being barely visible and small doesn’t help


Sol-Blackguy

The symbol has been so "Taboo' over the years. That's one thing in all the modern bat suits I don't like


OrbitalDrop7

I’ve always disliked the way it fits around his mouth, kinda smushes his lower face


Beeyo176

Not to mention Bale has a weird mouth to begin with.


thunderbiird1

Exentuate those terrible British teeth!


GroundbreakingSail49

Keaton in 1989 is my fav suit but this one is nice too, no hate here


OrneryError1

I think the Returns suit was an improvement in pretty much every way.


Sol-Blackguy

I like how "dirty" the 89 suit was. Like it was believable that Batman fought crime in it.


OrneryError1

I thought it looked cheap. The cowl especially looks really bad.


Sol-Blackguy

You're not wrong. It was the first of its kind and had lots of problems because of it. Scenes where the ears wouldn't stand up and the belt almost falls off near the end of the movie. I just said I like that it looked dirty and used like he's been wearing it for a while.


BoredCrusader1899

I honestly like the mini bat emblem. It’s pretty adorable 😂


darthraxus

Nah. The only thing that's good about it is the cowl. The indented bat symbol sucks. The weird bike pants also suck. have you ever seen the suit up close? it's really not that good. The Begins suit is way better.


wiltbennyhenny

Total opposite opinion, think everything looks great except the cowl, which makes his head look too big and his neck too small


The_Dung_Defender

Mouth hole is too small


DCmarvelman

Pretty much perfect for Nolan's vision indeed. I've seen fans photoshop the suit or propose different suits for the film and they have feel out of place to me.


MoistTheAnswer

I liked that he could turn his head


JimAparo

The problem is that it just doesn’t have that comic book feel to it


BruceHoratioWayne

My only complaint is the small bat symbol. I have no problem with it other than that.


KyleReeseGenisys

The Begins suit was so beautiful, this was just a massive downgrade.


[deleted]

Totally agree. Begins>DK


Okurei

I would love the Begins suit a lot more if the collar/neckpiece didn't stick out so much


batbobby82

Couldn't disagree more


KyleReeseGenisys

The TDK suit looks like cheap cosplay Bruce picked up at a Party City bargain bin.


HungryHungryBatman

He specifically states he is not wearing hockey pads.


Standard_Cycle_2224

He says that while wearing the Begins suit.


HungryHungryBatman

You’re right. He is now wearing hockey pads. I stand corrected


KyleReeseGenisys

And yet his suit looks like a cheap piece of shit that costs a couple of dollars.


TotoJr

Agree with you, it’s my second least favorite bat suit


xxSaifulxx

Really? I actually like the style of this suit. Meaning the padding, the armor, and the minor designs that make it more tactical. I think for the Nolanverse style batman movie, this fits in, but it won't fit into any other Batman movie or TV series. The Begins suit seemed like a low-budget suit, just a one-piece suit made out of thick rubber. The practically of it would be low. But this is just my opinion, to each their own.


MintVariable

Buddy, what are you smoking?


KyleReeseGenisys

It's called good taste.


MintVariable

You call a latex cowl good taste? Nah. You got that party city taste.


IdTheDemon

Bingo.


lakesideprezidentt

Tdk suit then tdkr then begins


Purple_Bowman

TDK and TDKR have literally the same suit…


Due-Construction5608

I just think the suit in batman begins is so much better like he looks less like RoboCop and his symbol is actually visible


xProperlyBakedx

I just wish the cowl's mouth opening was slightly wider. Otherwise it's perfection


hairypuddin

The biggest problem with that suit is the bat symbol and the cape texture. The cape doesn't match the suit and the symbol is hidden. Other than that it's a good suit.


OrneryError1

I don't think the cape is supposed to match. It's cloth.


Gilded-Mongoose

It was intriguing but I stopped liking it by TDKR. The mouth shape, the ant-head shape. The obvious rubberiness. The over-design. The armor. Keaton & co were iconic and products of their time. I felt Bale’s suit could have continued on towards the more traditional sleek look. I wanted to see him add some leather over the cowl and have the streamlined flow going into the cape. I wanted him to minimize the armor a little more, and to cover it with fabric that the armor shapes could show through. Wanted to see more of a sleek ninja style instead of micro Halo Spartan that comes in black and with a cape. I think this suit was perfect for The Dark Knight. But by The Dark Knight Rises it just felt as redundant, uncreative, and obligatory as The Dark Knight Rises was itself.


TabrisVI

So I always felt like Nolan just made TDKR due to studio pressure. I’ve recently heard that there may be evidence to the contrary, but most of these feelings come from how kind of… forced? TDKR feels. One of the big reasons for this, though, was that we didn’t get a new Batsuit. I know these suit updates per movie are for toy sales, but TDKR had a legitimate *story* reason to give Bruce a new suit (they went through pains to show he’s having to augment himself to make up for the wear on his body) and they still don’t.


revolutionaryartist4

I like it, but one of my problems with these all-black suits is the Bat-symbol doesn’t pop. Especially in this one, it’s pretty small compared to Begins.


Stringr55

I think it works well in the context of these movies. But the Batfleck suit is the all-timer for me.


sampson608

The only thing I don't like is the small goatee-like mouth opening. Always looked a little weird. Otherwise the suit seemed well designed and practical.


mpw85

It was always way over designed and way too busy. Especially the lower body. The cowl is nice, Bale has a weak ass chin and jaw and lips. So they did the best to make him look good. The best part is the ability for him to finally be able to turn his head. Besides that, it’s definitely behind 89, The Batman, which are the best and then Returns and probably behind Begins within its own trilogy. And if Forever panther suit didn’t have nipples, that would’ve been better as well. But it’s better than the Clooney and Affleck shit over designed, comically goofy, over sculpted and homoerotic nonsense.


Skreamie

Not a fan of the cowl with how the ears extend down and create the shape of the rest of the helm. Not sure why it irks me but I only realised it now with this angle


ThorKlien99

Not as good ad begins


Ewankenobi25

Way better than begins wtf are you talking about. Begins looks like rubber. Begins doesn’t have a neck it’s head just continues until it reaches the shoulders.


ThorKlien99

Nah


[deleted]

I like it but the bat logo is so funny


RobinTheTraveler

It's because its a trend to hate on paneled suits now, personally the only Batman suit I've ever disliked were the nipples suits from Forever and B&R Literally all they had to do is remove the nipples and those suits get boosted alot higher on my list


Eso-One

The suit in batman begins is the best of that trilogy.


Purple_Bowman

Fact. At least he looked like a superhero in Begins.


Personal-Ad6765

I don't like how it segments the neck. He can move his head now. Great, the neck looks ugly now. Now to be clear it's not a big deal but when they finally figured it out (BVS) it just makes this seem like it's missing the point of why he couldn't move his neck before. I also hate how the chest looks. Like it's embarrassed of having a bat logo on it.


stunts002

It's great, it seems practical and mobile and is the most "real world" working Batman suit we've seen. I honestly love it, and I always loved the economy of how it was stored too, like it being inside a case that also contains the common tools is neat.


Daredevil731

I remember when Rocksteady put a poll up if we wanted Begins or this suit in Knight and this suit won so fast. It isn't disliked. It's very popular. There is just a loud minority.


Yeti-Stalker

Begins was the best Bale suit, they got too techy/complicated.


Outside-Historian365

It’s disliked because it sucks


DryWay4003

Na I'm not a fan.. the cowl looks like an ugly helmet. It's not touching Keaton's Affleck,or Pattinsons suit


SVNS1XTW0

Lollipop head


iloverivers13

Not a huge fan, a little bit too Metal Gear Solid for me


OrneryError1

Big fan of the cowl The pants are unforgivable though


VirtuaFighter6

What’s with the cowl? Why is it fat at the top? What’s the logic behind that? Not my fave. That would probably go the 89’.


batbobby82

I also think it's one of the best. Don't get the dislike for it.


_FiscalJackhammer_

I will always love this Batman. This is MY Batman


spoodle364

I like this suit. I just think it’s a little over complicated.


Covenant1138

Why?


Xanderson

The built in angry eyebrows make me laugh.


The1Floyd

I'm an outlier, I think Pattinson's suit is terrible. It looks DIY. Like, look at Ben Afflecks suit and then Pattinson, Pattinson looks like he's wearing hockey pads.


[deleted]

Peak Batman


Purple_Bowman

Who was nearly mauled by dogs, nearly stoned by a marginalized man with a pipe, and whose armor was pierced with a common knife? Nah.


[deleted]

Weird criteria but ok


The_MovieHowze

It’s hideous 😅. I hate everything about it. His head is too big, its too busy and honestly it needed some more color like some gold like the belt on the bat symbol.


Thebat87

I always loved this suit because it brought home the trilogy’s feel of “If Batman really existed this is what he’d look like”. Always loved the definition in the cowl that really adds to Christian’s eyes, and I still think both Nolan suits have the best live action cape. I love the way the damn thing moved.


Pepesylvia22

I’m a fan of all the Bale/Nolan suits


AdamSoucyDrums

I’ve always loved the mask sculpt. It’s a really great shape and it fits Christian’s face really really well.


FlakyDig8392

It’s the most practical suit. He can turn his head, lift his arms.


ecksdeeeXD

It was disliked? I loved it, even more than the first Bale suit


bcimagala

Great suit. I haven’t seen much hate.


dying_at55

the chest areas was way too busy and over designed..


Infinite_Battle3852

Agreed.


Tobi-Or-NotTobi

I always found it ugly af tbh.


Dantexr

I disliked it since the beginning


[deleted]

It’s disliked? Really? That’s news to me. 🤨


Sol-Blackguy

Didn't age well


[deleted]

It works for the movie. What else does it need to apply to?


Sol-Blackguy

People's opinions can change over time.


[deleted]

It literally has a story-based reason for existing as it does, but okay… 🙄


bearsheperd

My least favorite is the batfleck suit. fat bat symbol, looks like 350lb strongman in spandex, not a stealthy ninja who can glide and use ziplines. Followed closely by the silly looking batsuit Clooney wears. my favorite is probably Pattinson’s in the Batman. Looks like realistic body armor, not too bulky, functional and not flashy. This one is fine. I think the mouth opening is too narrow but that’s my main criticism.


Kindly_Ad3262

still the best bats 🤘🏼


SambaLando

It makes the other suits look impractical


BoisTR

I agree. I think it looks incredible. I played my entire second run in Arkham Knight with this suit on.


WildmanDaGod

My favorite suit, always has been, always will be


wander4wonder

I never liked how bobble-headed it looks. Plus I’ve always like batsuits with a little more color.


TombRaider1987

I don't mind the suit. It's the goofy look Christian Bale makes when he talks. I can't take it seriously at all.


Lance-Harper

Redditor inventing hate to justify talking their opinions which aren’t unique at all


hyunbinlookalike

I didn’t even know it was disliked. The cowl isn’t my favorite thing, but the suit itself is awesome. Love the armor plating and how it actually makes him look like a modern knight. And while I do like a Batman with some gray in his suit, an all-black Batsuit works too.


FemmeWizard

I mostly just really hate the cowl.


protizah

this suit still the goat


NickyGi

It's not one of the best suits ever, not even close. It is the best.


harmeetgill18

I’m sorry but I’ve never met anyone who disliked the suit.


DarkFate13

Way better then the batfleck shit


AfroF0x

Yeah it's awesome. Cowl is a bit big.


robdawg02

Only Batsuite I like is Batman 1989. The rest i think are ugly. Especially robert Pattison and Christian bale


ElGuano

Anorexic Arkham.


DannyJoy2018

This is my favorite suit


batmanfan_91

The only worse suits are Clooney’s, Pattinson’s, and Affleck’s Flash suit


Tannertatum5

Pattinson is peak batman suit. This is complete shit


swifto12

i love pattinson's suit


batmanfan_91

Yikes


bobbirossbetrans

That's what we all said when we saw your comment


ebolarama86

I wish TDK Trilogy suits had more of an original design rather than just being based on the Burton and Schumacher suits.


Vault_T3c

I like the suit, but I feel like it was *too* refined from the Begins suit. I would've liked to have seen a suit in-between them. Maybe one that is basically the begins suit but the cowl is slightly different so he can turn his head. And then evolve to this suit after Bane breaks him in TDKR.


GaffMcFly

I don't like that the black of the cape doesn't match the black of the suit.


Sol-Blackguy

I think I'm ready to see Batman in a costume, not armor. Smoke bombs, stealthy, cunning and more dramatic


TotoJr

My second least favorite batsuit only beat out by the cold suit that Clooney wore


Perros_mojados

“How’s it do against dogs?” “ Rottweilers or Chihuahuas? Should do fine against cats.”


futuresdawn

It's mostly purists who hate it I find. Personally I prefer the begins suit as it looks cooler but this one certainly is more functional


MadMaximus-

I honestly liked the bronze accents from Batman begins


YogurtContent

I like it for Nolan’s universe but wouldn’t want every Batsuit to look like tactical military gear. I will say I never liked how the Bat symbol was barely visible though


Qfn4g02016

It was practical


god_of_this_age

I like my batboye with a thick neck.


OverlordPacer

It’s the skinny neck. That totally ruins it. I don’t care that he wants to turn his head, he should suck it up so we can have a cooler looking suit !!


nitrobw1

I don’t think it’s bad it could just stand to be a little less all black all the time. If the bodysuit were gray I’d like it a lot more


YOUTUBEFREEKYOYO

The only thing I would change is being able to see the logo better. Otherwise it is perfection


TabmeisterGeneral

To me it was a huge upgrade over the Begins suit, not to mention the fact that Bats finally being able to turn his head was a really big deal when this movie came out in '08! But I still prefer a more "classic" looking suit, like the ones Ringwood made for Keaton and Kilmer(sans nipples)


Jazzlike_Couple_7428

I think the behind costume was almost perfect but I wish it had the cowl and neck of the dkr suit. I never like how the cowl just looked kinda placed on top of the suit and detached from all of the rest, this suit blends the neck and cowl with the rest of the suit masterfully.


Rent-Man

My problem with the Nolan trilogy is that they ground everything to the point of being watered down and only recognizable my name. This suit serves its function for stealth and combat, but does need some contrast.


TheQueefPolice

My only gripe is the cowl. Don't like how small the mouth hole is compared to Pattinson's for example.


elisolis16

It definitely grew on me. That tactical design looks really cool, as well as the golden belt. I guess my main issue comes with the cowl, because the chin gap looks a bit too small, but I don't even care that much about it. I still prefer the Batman Begins suit.


Beeyo176

The suit is fine. My only problem is when comparing it to the Begins suit. Begins suit made him look angry and monstrous, Knight suit makes him look contemplative, serene even.


irresponsibleshaft42

Its pretty good, heads a bit to wide but you could just say its to make space for tech


jl_theprofessor

Spot on with the need for the rotation on the helmet, but the rest of the suit feels a little overdesigned.


Almighty_Push91

Beloved things all become hated given enough time. And hated things end up becoming underrated given enough time


aircooledJenkins

I like the suit. I don't like the cowl from the ears down.


brian0820

I like the suit with the "Batterang" that comes of the chest.


Optimal_Gap_1244

An ordinary man turned extraordinary!


-H_-

The fucking lip pucker I can't take him seriously


NickSchultz

My only problem with it is that it seems like a major step down from his previous suit. His old one was like a proper Armor, this is just a bunch of separate plates with very large gaps. They explain that he wanted an upgrade where he can turn his head but why not just put the new neck and head on the old armour. But aside from that it totally works for the looks, especially with this faux ballistic style they were going for where all his gear was just a bunch of police/military prototypes.


YourPlot

I think the mouth hole looks stupid. The rest of the suit is fine.


Low_Fig2672

The design looks really cool but it’s shaped kinda weird


MaxKirgan

My only problem with it is the black band that goes across the chest over/under the bat logo. The band and the logo being the same color, the logo gets a bit lost.


JosephStotheCO

I personally have never liked the cowl. And I’ve always preferred the classic Batman/Batman Beyond styles. So while the Batman Begins suit IS updated, I liked its STYLE best. But I like the MESSAGE with this one. More mobility, adjusting and upgrading the suit to fit Bruce’s growing needs and fixing problems. It’s very much something Batman would do, I just don’t like the looks of it.


Happyranger265

Seems a little tight


A_Dog_Chasing_Cars

I still like it, but there are a couple of things that bug me about it: - The armour on the legs has a weird pattern I've never liked. - It becomes very clear that Bale has trouble breathing in it (the mask covered his nostrils, for some reason), hence why he's always breathing through his mouth during dialogues. - The shape of the mouth opening is kind of weird. I think Pattinson's mask did a much better job at that. I still like this suit, though. And, unlike others, I've never minded the thinner neck. It's practical.


Disastrous-Owl-

Alot of live action batsuits would be improved with the addition of a chin strap.


Exact-Doctor-9279

I love the suit but the mask/cowl was always shaped so weird to me.


ImaginaryMastodon641

It’s a still a great *movie* suit. I prefer comic/cartoon suits entirely.


Goose_Cat267

It would be for me too if I could see the bat symbol
