Jan 28 2008New 'The Dark Knight' Photos Spark Obvious Comparisons

I think it's fair to observe similarities to the Joel Schumacher Batsuit, as well. I have nothing but faith for this movie, but that suit is looking silly.

I agree with TetraShiva, the cod piece is looking DANGEROUSLY Schumacher! I'm still going to geek out until, during, and after this movie though.

I said it before and i'll say it again, I HATE the fragile/skinny neck they gave him. Makes Batman look increadibly weaker in this film.

...or the neck looks incredibly more functional? who knows. kids these days.

Bibleman ?

who's care about him.

It's not Christian Bale's fault that his package is so out of control that even a new bat suit can hardly contain it.

I'm pretty underwhelmed/disappointed with the whole new resurrection franchise.
Not only is the Bat-themed designing VERY mediocre, the writing barely went farther than telling you exactly what sort of themes it wanted to try and weave into the new redone story.

Back to the designs-- It would help first if they actually did some research. "Nomex survival suit" is what it's called in the first film, which is only used for fire retardant outfits, NOT ballistic protection. It's very weak.

"Gas Powered Grapple gun" is a phrase directly taken from Watchmen. And a magnetic cleat for the hook is just retarded.

Tumbler made to " jump rivers to string bridges across". I guess the little foldout wings are meant to generate lift? RETARDED. Plenty of more practical ways of getting a bridge up.

--Wouldn't the contractors who built the tumbler say "Why the fuck is the Tumbler driving around on the highway with police chasing it? I'm calling Wayne Enterprises."

Regardless, everything seems very poorly thought out and half assed.

I'm gonna go watch the 1989 Batman again.

How's your mom's basement dude? It's a SUPERHERO movie. Relax....

DanB, you're a tool. Unless I imagine Comic Book Guy saying what you typed, then you're an animated tool. Nobody cares.

Danb your whole generation is underwhelmed dude there Chad. Your a "millenial". Look it up Tyler.

I like the nice sturdy built-in bra. Nothing hurts worse than getting hit in the tits.

Remember how Michael Keaton couldn't actually turn his head because of the suit? To look left and right, he had to turn his entire body in an awkward robotic manner. It was awesome.

Tim Burton's Batman was great.

Nolan's Batman is great too.

Let's all just dance and have fun.

Speaking of Bibleman, ever notice how Christian Bale's first name is Christian? Freaky.

Why so serious, Christian Bale?

if i had designed the suit i would have made it look like it constructed out of melted down, steel belted tires...traces of tread reflecting off the surface

^ Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man over here

i'm just wondering why his belt is slung super low. i mean... it's right above his crotch. shouldn't it be on his waist?

Yes, but does he have Bibleman's "Breastplate of Righteousness?!" Look it up. Spoiler alert ... Bibleman introduced in Dark Night as Batman's new sidekick.

I like the new suit. It's not like Schmuckmakers at all. This poster is tho. I hate this poster. It's uninspired. I could make a better poster with crayons. Somebody got paid for this? Graphic artists everywhere are weeping inside. I think that guy from Kevin Smiths spider story must have made this poster. Or Steve Jobs.

Keaton is to batman as the guys from Perfect Strangers are to cyclops and wolverine. I mean, honestly, Mr. Mom is batman? Sheesh. Keaton. Kilmer. Clooney. It's about time they got away from the last names with a sharp "k" sound. Bale is perfect, not to mention he makes a good batman. What? I don't have a man crush on Bale. Sheesh.

I'm sick an tired of the black/green colour scheme. That Matrix-look is SO 90s.

I agree, this poster is very blah, however i do disagree with the keaton comment, I thought he was rad! The only issue I have with Bale at all in these movies is his obvious mouth, is it just me or does it seem he talks with a slight lisp, anyone close to Bruce Wayne would recognize this. Meh I guess if Clark Kent can get away with just losing his glasses lol... Either way this movie is going to be sweet!

@DanB
perhaps the contractors who built the tumbler weren't watching TV at that time, HAVE U EVER THOUGHT OF THAT???

And if you're talking about inaccuracies, how about Jack Nickolson's Joker walking with a 3 foot long gun down his pants??? and how can a laugh bag survive that fall and still function??? ah?? ah??? answer that and stay fashionable...

Everything they released for this film was going so well, (Well except the shots with the white blackground) Do you think this was a rushed poster? meaning, that the original had the joker in it and they commisioned a poster without much thought into what it was going to look like. This looks a tad embarrasing.

This is the first helmet that can swivel from side to side. It's a motorcycle-type helmet, which is cool.. Unfortunately, it turned our looking like this...

We're really in trouble if the Batmobile display reads "FEED ME A STRAY CAT". "Jane, fetch my cape and cowl".

"Tell me, Joker, do you like Huey Lewis and the news?"

Looks like a fucking turtle shell.

Don't like it. The previous was a lot better.

The Joker didn't fall on the laugh bag in the first movie.

Wasn't Nolan going for a realistic and darker feel for this one??
Can anyone explain why there's a fucking spotlight on batman in every shot?

And why he talks like Henry Rollins?

And why the poster's terrible?

At least the 1989 one was severe and seriously Gothamish, with a crime ridden feel, despite the occasional goofiness.

I can't take this one seriously at all.

COME ON MEMENTO 2!!!

DICK

Is his Bat-Penis hidden inside his Bat-Belt-Buckle?

If you don't like the suit, don't worry. I'm sure he'll be in the "Dark" for most of the movie! If there's 1 thing i don't like, it's the Bat-Symbol on his chest.

I feel homoish now. Mmmm
