... can't wait. He was one of my favorite characters in WS. I liked him way better than Falcon

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)
I am not a fan of the short ears but other than that this is a great reveal of a great design for the costume. The short ears don't really make him look like a bat, it makes him look more like a cat . Even worse, it slightly resembles the mask he wore in Daredevil too much, with the short little horns. Batman used a bat as inspiration for his costume, hence the large ears and scalloped cape in his design, which combined made his silhouette appear to be that of a giant bat. I understand The Dark Knight Returns connection and also the desire to use a more contemporary look which this captures that look, but I am admittedly a traditionalist and lean toward the original early 30's style and the 70's style. Maybe someday....

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)
I think the tactical look is what made him awesome. I don't want a HT of Coco B Ware.
Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)
Short ears were part of the Miller Batmen designs (Year One and Dark Knight Returns), and I like them personally. But I can go with either approach.

Dude that's hilarious I think that's exactly who I see when I see the falcon!
PS: and if I didn't then, I will now.

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)
Obviously with superman involved there's going to be some OMG **** hitting the fan, but if audience reception is good for Batfleck, I think it would be cool if they produced some solo Bat flicks where they concentrated on the detective aspect. I still want plenty of ass kicking, but have him solve/ figure stuff out. Maybe some of his gallery people haven't seen yet. I personally really like the more supernatural villains like croc and manbat, would love to see them onscreen.

Miller's Return's style is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this too. Short ears and chunky bat symbol

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)
Well, I can respect someone who is a fan of more vintage Batman looks, too, where he had longer ears most of the time (but the Sprang version had small ears, as did Adam West). No wrong opinion on this IMO, since we've all got connections to different versions of Batman, be it the 60s-70s version, Super Friends, Frank Miller, Burton, Jim Lee, Nolan, or what have you.

I'm not big on following upcoming movie hype but I saw the batsuit pic and instantly loved it. It looks like the Dark Knight Returns came to life with some Arkham VG texture to convey armour. It's a great balance.

In the reveal photo I think he's watching Kal-el let his father be killed by a Tornado on a news broadcast and is thinking "What a D***!"

Re: Batman vs. Superman (2016)
I know I said in the MoS thread that I'd burnt myself out on watching and I wouldn't be watching again for awhile... but I couldn't resist, I watched again a couple nights ago. Still, one of the dumbest things ever to make it to screen. They may as well have had Dr Detroit comforting him as his father died, it wouldn't have made any less sense.

I took an oath to never allow people to forget that scene.
