    Will the suit bring back the badly missed bat nipples?

    It's a lot bulkier than I was expecting! The bike is also very cartoony with the bat symbol on the front which I'm not against, just wasn't expecting.

    The lighting can also have an impact, there was a set photo from The Dark Knight where the suit looked almost nothing like what you normally see.
    Maybe it's the type of suit they use for stunt scenes.

    Yeah, that suit was probably fashioned especially for the stuntman, with all the padding and braces built into the suit to protect him while driving. IIRC there's usually a couple of costume types with these things, one for posing and one for action. Heck, I believe the James Bond productions has special Tom Ford suits for action scenes, that are let out for extra mobility lol

    The shoulder pads, neck guard and chest plates all seem to be the same as the one he wears on the screen test video.
    Maybe its just his batbike-batsuit ...safety first !

    Wonder if the cape will be CGI'ed, assuming there is one? It'll be an interesting move if this Bats doesn't have a cape. Probably makes it easier to film if you don't have to worry about a cape flapping around behind the stunt driver.

    I thought there was a Cape in the teaser thingy they released.

    He was a good Batman, but I thought he was a better Bruce Wayne... shame we will never see him in the role again.

    He was a good batman but a ****e Bruce Wayne

    Perhaps the cape is somehow only used when he has to glide

    He seems to be in a cemetery. Hopefully at long last we will finally see Batman's origins addressed on the big screen.

    Why, what happened? His origin's a mystery isn't it?

    Well, if you read between the lines in the lore, the subtext narrows it down to a few possibilities.

    Batman in daylight....just ain't right. At least Nolan had the thematic darkness into light thing going on to excuse it in TDKR. :pac:

    Batman likes his BMW bikes. Good choice

    The ears on the cowl look great. They're nice & tidy looking.

    Looks like they're driving together rather than chasing, I wonder could the other person be cat woman.

    He looks like a child on Christmas morning playing with his new bike.

    I'm starting to wonder if they're going the Bruce is broke route. Just something about the whole aesthetic, including the suit and bike, suggests he doesn't have access to top of the line technology.

    I believe one of the stories from the comics, possibly Year One, went this route where Bruce was swindled out of the Wayne fortune when his parents died.

    The new bat-mobile has been revealed; it's unconventional (and kind of a throwback to the very, very early days), but I really like it.

    By Seconds!

    I really like the look of it too. The front reminds me of the original Adam West batmobile.

    IIRC I read somewhere the rumour that this Wayne is effectively penniless compared with other versions. If true, then it'd track the batmobile was something a lot more rudimentary and straightforward. I really like it, can't see what's to complain about, they can't all be ostentatious drag racers.

    I'm liking everything about it so far. Can't wait to see a clip in action.

    The first thing I thought of when I saw it was the Interceptor (the last of the V8's)
