It looks better in the comics and with modern tweaks it could look adequate for a film. At least for that outfit, the futurist-esque look actually fits-- instead of this ridiculously unnecessary robot shit that Batman's been sporting in Nolan's series. Hell, I'd even take that toy's design over anything from Nolan's entire series, fanboy.

I just think it would be neat if they featured it in a fight against Bane-- considering the history and all. And hey, it couldn't be any worse than the outfits in Nolan's series already. |

That being said, I have to disagree. Batman's costume designs in Nolan's films aren't as bad as you're saying. Granted, they're not the most ideal, but they're realistic. You can't expect Batman to be leaping rooftops and fighting gun-sporting criminals in a spandex costume, can you? As for the costume from the action figure, I really don't see how that is suitable for Batman at all. Batman is supposed to be a master of shadows, and an outfit with equitable amounts of yellow seems too flashy to me. |

Anyway I'm kinda looking forward to this but will see it regardless :p Still not digging that "Cat" Woman suit. I find exceptable but just that. There is only one Catwoman for me (Michelle Pfeiffer). I'm also really hoping to see something remotely similar to Knightfall in this flick xD |

Well here's a sideview of the suit
http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/the-pr...204254980.html I suppose I agree with some critics whom have pointed out that the suit is weak and cheap-looking. It doesn't give much of an ompf factor to it but then again she's just a cat burgular. Add in Nolan's "realism aim" and that cuts down the aesthetics a lot. However, Anne has pointed out that picture only shows a small portion of what the suit can do....whatever the hell that means There was nothing ever special about Catwoman's suit but I do think if what Anne says is true that may not be the full costume she's wearing and that like Batman it'll go through stages. |

If I hadn't seen Iron Man 2 I might be more impressed by the outfit. Now it just looks too Black Widow to me. Anne's easy on the eyes, but she's no Scarlett Johansson. She doesn't fill out that suit the way Jo did hers. I second Pringles. Michelle Pfeffier probably had the most iconic Catwoman costume. I like how it invoked the "Year One" comic series where Catwoman starts out a dominatrix/prostitute (even though I was like 5 when I first saw Batman Returns so I couldn't appreciate that fact until years later). That look wouldn't really work with the gritty realism of Nolan's films, but this costume is definitely underwhelming if that's what she wears throughout the movie. I hope the common conjecture that this is just Selina Kyle's 'cat burglar' uniform and not her actual Catwoman suit, turns out to be correct.

Batwing is confirmed...
Looks a lot like the Tumbler. Not completely sure about the design yet... it also seems to be more of a hovering vehicle than an actual plane, too. Well, Batman does need a new toy since Bane and Catwoman seem to have the Tumbler and Batpod....

Which makes sense. Batman has very little reason to own a traditional jetplane, at least for as long as most of his duties are linked to one city. And if you want to fight in a city with a plane, it would need to be able to hover over one place. In the original first generation comics, Batman had a mini-helicopter. But for the purpose of this film a helicopter is too fragile for direct combat, so a fixed wing VTOL craft is the way to go.

But like you said this is for urban combat so speed isn't something you need to focus on, it's manuverability. In any case I'm liking it. |
