... Batman's black rubber suit and cowl. It just looks ridiculous. Why
does Warner Brothers insist on dressing him in these plastic outfits?
All they have to do is look at the way Batman's costume is depicted in
some of the fan-pics (Batman vs Terminator, World's Finest, etc.). If
they insist on having body armor, they can say that it is underneath
the cloth.  What do the rest of you think about Batman's movie duds?

Otherwise, I really enjoyed the picture.

Did it have nipples on it?

If not, they they can do just about anything and I'll be happy. I'm
still trying to forget that gawd-awful Clooney film.

But you're right. Interesting how an ultra-low-budget fan film can have
a better looking costume than a $100+ million dollar feature. Granted
the fan films didn't do the close ups that the feature film does, but still.

Technically, you're right.  But of all the plastic Batman outfits so
far this is the best.

The suit also visually explains why Batman survives being shot by Harvey
Dent, and why when they fall off the bridge Harvey dies but Batman
lives.  And I do like the sharp things that fly off at a touch.

I just looked at the Watchmen promo poster and decided that I'm tired of
the Hollywood interpretation of *all* the comic book costumes.  Except
for Silk Spectre's costume they all look the same, and hers has nothing
in common with the one from the comic. which was just lingerie.

They seem to have lost the idea of age -- of Nite Owl as plump and
balding, or the Comedian with gray in his hair.  (I wonder if he is
still the father of Laurie.)

Of course he is, and you should post a spoiler alert before you say
something like that.

Or, for a movie that is not out yet and of which nobody can say what
major surgery has been done on the plot?
