>The shining armor>That smirk>The vow he made last issue promising "To be a better Bat"Are we...

>>116348268Yes, of course, I'm talking about early DCAU Batman, by the end he was a problem

>>116348185This, I miss when Batman wasn’t grimdark all of them time and sometimes could crack a joke or at least acknowledge the absurdity of his life. Kind of in line with the first few seasons of BTAS or some of the 70s stuff.

>>116348172Looks like he's going Superior Iron Man to me.

>>116348762>>116348817It doesn't look like a knight armor in anything other than the fact that the texture seems metallic. It actually looks more like an Iron Man armor, which also rubs me off the wrong way.

>>116349443The whole arc was basically Marvel saying "Yeah he's totally Lex Luthor"

>>116349957It doesn't like an Iron Man armor at all, it'd have to be chunkier and more segmented for that.

>>116349957>>116350217And also more obviously technological.

>>116348172I'm all for light hearted and hopeful Batman, but that costume has to go.

>>116350217Uhhh...

>>116350325I stand by what I said, it doesn't look like an Iron Man armor.

>>116350458Get your eyes checked then.

Not saying this armor is particularly great for some older happy Batman, but at least it's like silver and black instead of that weirdness.

can we also get a dark and brooding Superman as his counterpart?

>>116348172lololololololIce to meet you, Batman.

>>116350504Checked, and STILL don't see it.

>>116349957It's not Iron Man to me because its not encompassing the entire costume. People are calling it "Shining Knight" because its glossy, bright, and bits of metallic

>>116350325I think you may be retarded. The one on the left is a man completely encased in armor, whereas the one on the right has metallic parts but is mostly compromised of fabric in the torso and thigh regions.

>>116350306>>116348172>>116349164>>116348185>implying you people won't be complaining again in some years

>>116350710Jesus Christ. I get it now. This was Batman's suit in 5G. And Superman was gonna lead The Authority. They really would reverse roles.

>>116351107I loved this batsuit

>>116351521Well that would naturally happen if he went from inspiring Superman type to just a joking asshole that never takes anything seriously.

>>116351521>implying they wouldn't fuck it up

>Better Batman>Dick is back>Light blue and black new suitHmmm

>>116351763I know what you're thinking and no, they're not giving Dick the mantle.

>>116351492Also the one on the left is red and the other one is blue, right? Totally different. You're an imbecile.

>>116348172>Would you want another optimistic Batman again instead of the usual brooding stick in the mud?Holy fuck, yes. He's been mired in his own inner turmoil and flaws for so long he's barely heroic anymore. Anything that brings us closer to a more well-rounded interpretation is good in my book.That costume is fucking ass, though. Reeks of Nu-52 with all that extraneous armor detailing. Why couldn't we move back to the tried-and-true blue/gray?

>>116351333Both are segmented to seem like plate of metal all over, not fabric. But at the same time don't look like actual knight armor but skintight comic-book allow. Both have an emblem that shines from its own light which is kind of counterproductive to Batman, hell even the eyes in Batman have that black surrounding them so it can have shiny eyes like Iron Man.

The fact that Batman is more optimistic shouldn't mean that he no longer relies on stealth and subterfuge because at his core he's one dude. If you give him a power armor and, in addition to his established outlook on things, you change his methods, you're just making a completely different character that kinda looks like him if you squint.

>>116351982That's not an argument. In fact you're reaching really hard to equate the two as the same on very thin logic. He's not Iron Man

>>116352039He's not metal all over and a glowing symbol isn't counterproductive considering why his old yellow oval was designed to do

>>116352087You're assuming this is power armor. All we know is that its shiny plating

>>116352235Shiny plating's not great for stealth either.

>>116352217How are you not seeing metal on the rest? Just because it's not shiny? Does that look like cloth or fabric to you?

>>116351521>againI love Adam West Batman. And enjoyed the early silver age hijinks. Fuck you.

>>116352723I'm sure there's some armor underneath like always but yes that's cloth in the dark parts. How the fuck are YOU seeing metal there? The coloring is fucking with you.

Is he going to end his friendship with Clark and become friends with Majestic now that Grfiter is going to be his new Robin?

>>116353385>now that Grfiter is going to be his new Robin?That's not what's happening. Grifter is working for Lucius Fox

>>116351667I'm sure your boyfriend did too

>>116348172>Adam West BatBrave and the Bold is a better idea of a heroic Bat. Less corny, more recent, and is the whole "paragon of justice" bit without losing the Dark Knight streak.

>>116348172>ripping off Superior Iron Man for a gimmick issueyikes.

>>116348172Horrible, this is Batman's Spider-Armor, if they wanted to do an optimistic Batman just put him back in the Blue and Grey with the yellow oval.

>>116351492If anything this draws influence from Azrael’s Batman armor

I'm beginning to think Holla Forums will bitch about literally anything and everything regarding Batman. Granted there's been A LOT of shit in recent years, but even ignoring that stuff you get the sense that this board will find any reason to hate the next Batman related announcement regardless of what it is. New costume? It's shit. New bad guy? It's shit. Hey how about a-..NO! It's shit. That's the vibe I've always gotten on here at least.

>>116355631Tom King's run was still unmitigated shit.

>>116355702Yes, I know and even acknowledge that. However that doesn't change the fact that you utter ANY Batman related news or whatever, and this board will instantly call it trash. It's like the contrarianism has gotten so bad that we kneejerk all bits of Bat media because he's arguably the most popular hero among casuals

>>116350609Why did the gods deny her?

>>116348172It means Batman will become even more unstoppable. This version of Batman will beat Bat Who Laughs.

>>116351333Don't worry, you are right. Disneyfans being retarded, as usual

>>116348172It's just an armor for some dream/vision sequence. There was a preview somewhere.

>>116357708The dream sequence is in #96 after he first finds the armor in #95.

>>116357045Shiny

>>116357045I think it's going to be revealed that Alfred designed this suit. It was meant for a time when Batman could be a more uplifting and optimistic figure, and Bruce will start wearing it to honor Alfred when he finds out. Screencap this.

>>116348172They already said this is the future Batman envisioned but Joker will make that future impossible in Jokers war so it will end in a twisted version of that future.

>>116348185>>116348268>>116348762>>116349035>>116349305>>116350458>>116351667The amount of shills in here is horrendous. Turning Batman into a more heroic fun Batman shouldn't mean to turn his outfit into such a toyetic joke, you brain dead motherfuckers.This is literally a fucking toy.

>>116357045>>116358079I could buy that>>116358224Only a part of it was a dream. The suit seems like the real deal.>>116358611>NOOOOOOOOOOO! YOU CANT SAY GOOD THINGS!!!!Faggot

>>116358611>IF YOU LIKE THIS YOU ARE A SHILLFuck, I hate this mentality.

>>116358773And then you miserable cunts scream about why DC is so shit. You're the first ones to praise shit like this and then act surprised when something bad happens.>UH BUT ADAM WEST BATMAN GOODHe at least looked like Batman. That's what you miserable cunts are failing to graps, this design looks nothing like fucking Batman, it's just Superior Iron-Man with a Bat-Symbol tossed into his fucking chest!

>>116355631Sorry we're not dripping with positivity like the hugboxes you're used to.On a more positive note you posted the one design they never should have moved away from, so kudos for that.

>>116358773Read again you retard. The suit is real. The optimistic dream will be thwarted by the Joker during the next event. The story ends on the nightmare version of that dream which is the new status quo. And yes, he will use that suit or a modified version in the new status quo. They already spoiled that shit.

>>116358803As far as I seen, no one here argumented why this design is good so far. I can try to explain why this design sucks:>What's the dark blue material supposed to be? Why it looks like that? It tries to resemble the Mera's outfit material in a way that it shines? Kind of like fucking latex or a blue cat-suit?>Why do the gloves, boots and helmet look like Diamond material? Batman is supposed to be a character that FUCKING HIDES ON THE SHADOWS, BEING SHINY AND COLORFUL AS THIS WOULD CALL EVERYONE'S ATENTION!>By making the cowl THAT blue, the eye-paint now looks weird, kind of like a Dr. Manhattan vibe.>What's that grey stuff on the neck supposed to be? Why is the Belt like that?>Visually speaking the suit isn't appealing. Colors are not interesting, it's just Blue and Darker Green/Blue. No contrast or appeal because now Batman doesn't even resemble a bat in terms of presence or color.Why tho? Why go into something like this? We all know this won't last long enough, but why try it? If they wanted the "Fun Camp Batman", why not bring back the CLASSIC outfit? Pic related one. You mongoloids are so braindead by now that simple questions like this literally fly over your head and you don't even notice them.It's literally a toy. Batman and Robin merchandising had similar toys with similar designs. This is the kind of design that WB would approve trying to sell more merchandising, it infuriates me that no one noticed this already.

>>116358838>And then you miserable cunts scream about why DC is so shit.I'll have you know that I don't enable most of DC's bullshit. I haven't bought anything from Metal, Snyder's Justice League, King's Batman or Bendis's Superman for that matter. However god fucking forbid I show somewhat of an interest to something that might actually be worth a damn. Hell you're only calling it Superior Iron Man because they're both fucking shiny for Christ sake. Looks nothing like Batman? You're fucking retarded. But you already made up your mind calling everyone a shill so why the fuck am I even bothering to talk to you>>116358940When the fuck have we EVER said anything good about Batman in any media for the past 5-10 years? Honestly. No one is asking for a hugbox, though you are constantly demanding a hate circlejerk

>>116358977Though its a nightmare, what's to stop Bruce from becoming the optimistic Batman he always wanted him to be?>>116358988I think the point is Bruce stepping out of the shadows, hence why its shiny. But that's just pure speculation on my part>It's just a toyLiterally every Batman suit is designed to be a toy, so I don't really get the gripe here

>>116359160>Looks nothing like Batman? You're fucking retarded.Nice argument there trying to proof WHY this clusterfuck of a design looks like a decent Batman. Fucking shill, go eat some dick and get out of here, you piece of cancer. My only regret is that I can never meet you to fucking smack your face. I'm fucking tired of people like you, it's the people like you that ruined everything. Even if you dislike Metal or King's Batman, you still support shit like this just because you feel it's interesting to see Batman downgraded like this, in terms of visual design?Get lost, you cunt. Go home and get your fucking shinebox or something, I'm fucking done with you.

>>116358988>As far as I seen, no one here argumented why this design is good so far.Alright, here's my explanation on why this design is good.>I think it looks cool.That's it, I'm not about to write you a fucking essay dissecting every little thing about this new design nigger, I just like it.>Batman is supposed to be a character that FUCKING HIDES ON THE SHADOWS, BEING SHINY AND COLORFUL AS THIS WOULD CALL EVERYONE'S ATENTION!It's almost like he's gonna try something different.>Why tho? Why go into something like this? We all know this won't last long enough, but why try it? If they wanted the "Fun Camp Batman", why not bring back the CLASSIC outfit?I know you'd rather just get the same shit over and over, but I for one like it when they do new things once in a while, making a new shiny costume is fine by me.>It's literally a toy.News flash, all superheroes costumes and designs are inherently toyetic, specially Batman with all his different costumes and accessories.

>>116359248>Fucking shill, go eat some dick and get out of here, you piece of cancer.10/10 argument lmao

>>116359197>Literally every Batman suit is designed to be a toyWhat's that supposed to mean, user? You never had good and bad toys? Of course every Batman suit is designed like that, specially the movie ones. That doesn't stop the designer for TRYING to respect Batman's visual design (Most of the time).I mean, BTAS Batman is also a fucking toy, and both as a toy and as a character design it looks very Kino to me. It just can't be said the same for this new design of Batman.

What you SHOULD have said is>I prefer my Batman designs to be muted and embrace the themes that reflect the dark nature of Batman/contrast from heroes like SupermanDoes that make more sense? It terms of design it still passes the silhouette test, and in terms of color its not exactly outside his normal palette. The shiny/metallic parts are what's throwing you off, which we can discuss further if you like. Which by the way, there's a precedent for that too. What do you think? Was the Jean Paul metallic textures too much?
