As much as I love bad puns... "Argo ment"?

You mean Steve Jobs circa 1970s - Ashton who?

Do want! Coming off the popularity and success of the Nolan Trilogy, it'd be wise to go a whole new direction with the Batsuit to show this is not the same continuity. At all. Arkham City is very popular with the gaming community whether they're Batman fans or not. Using that as inspiration is the way to go. Agreed with Nam. Design his cowl to turn freely and then go from there. I'd love a gray/black combo this time around.

Whatever they do, they need to give Affleck the ability to turn his head independently of his torso.

I think Snyder will come up with a kewl looking suit that respects the comics.

I have a feeling it's going to be something along the lines of a mesh between the Arkham games suit and the New 52 suit.

5 Reasons Ben Affleck will make a great batman

I do too. The Arkham games have proved they can make a batsuit that looks enough like the comics to please that crowd, but realistic enough to work in the 'real world' (ie he's not just wearing spandex). And DC is all about the new 52 now, and considering how much the MoS Supersuit looked like the New 52 Supersuit, I think its a safe bet Batman's outfit will follow suit. Personally, I hope they go more Arkham than 52, but anything not solid black will be a step forward since 1989 IMO.

If it is like the Arkham suit, then Batman's underpants will be on the outside. Maybe that's what they fight over?

Underpants on the outside need to die and be forgotten, forever.

I hope it's more along the lines of Supes'/Zod's new suit. I never minded all black, so a makeover of Zod's suit with the same texture would be preferable. It could easily be explained by Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor reverse-engineering Kryptonian tech for their own purposes.

Of course, the guy's a billionaire, and he's been operating for years by this point, he should have at least as many suits (and vehicles) as Tony Stark does, so I'm expecting some variety.

I'm really hoping they don't have "kryptonian tech" barfed out everywhere in the DCCU. That would be stupid as all hell.

Actually it would make perfect sense. There are remnants of alien technology strewn about Metropolis, the Indian Ocean, and possibly Smallville, and a dead alien and shattered remnants of his armor in Metropolis, and the military and private corporations don't immediately jump on it like the last hot dog at Takeru Kobayashi's family reunion? Please.

I'd call it for what it is, a Marvel ripoff. I don't mind Lex playing with it a bit, but to give it to Batman seems a bit silly, lazy and copycatting. Moreso now that Ultron is based on Stark Tech.

Not really, just tying elements together that ordinarily wouldn't be in the comics. They have probably 8-10 films to tell stories that have grown and evolved over hundreds, even thousands of issues in the comics, they're inevitably going to simplify some things. You might as well say they're ripping off Marvel by having a shared cinematic universe. Also the number of shared elements between the two comic book universes are almost too numerous to enumerate as is.

But why take away from existing things? There's plenty of material in those thousands of comics, good material. They don't need to piggyback off of concepts that Marvel's employing, like shared "tech."

I just figured it would be a good way to incorporate Supes' suit's general design aesthetic onto the other superheroes, since they want to 'New 52' it and all.

I'm not suggesting that all of Wayne's or Luthor's technology be Kryptonian, just that they incorporate some aspects of it into their existing technology. Plus, it helps to make it more believable that Wayne or Luthor might get a combat edge on Superman, seeing that's already what they do in the comics to get an edge on Superman, for the most part. The linchpin here, is that the existence of Kryptonite hasn't been alluded to yet, but other weaknesses of Kryptonians on Earth have been exploited. So I'm thinking they may possibly leave Kryptonite out of the picture entirely, and use other explanations for how one might have an edge against Superman.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if Kryptonite comes into play in Superman/Batman. As it stands, I don't really see how a suit would give anybody the advantage over Superman. Unless they're injecting his DNA, it's not going to really give them an edge over anything. Even less-so since the tech was pseudo-organic.

I'm definitely not ruling it out, there's a very high probability that it will.

Also, how would pseudo-organic be a problem? Superman himself is entirely organic and he's impervious to bullets and crushes steel with his bare hands.

I'm not suggesting that Kryoptonian technology alone would give Luthor or Batman an edge against Superman, but when you're fighting Superman, you need every edge you can get, no matter how minor. However, there are a lot of incentives to reverse engineering Kryptonian tech, even the clothing. Obviously, Supes' suit is incredibly durable, as it withstands amazingly destructive events with very little damage. Obviously, Batman or Luthor would see the advantage in that, especially in incorporating it into the Batsuit. It's probably fireproof, and nearly, if not entirely, bulletproof, on its own.

And that's not to mention the Kryptonian outer armor that Zod and crew wore. Obviously, it's very strong, as it did not shatter when Superman was thrashing the other Kryptonians. We all know that at least one of the occasions that Batman fought Superman in the comics, powered armor was involved. Why would Batman, or Luthor, use anything less than something that has been proven to withstand Superman's might? Without using Kryptonian tech, you start to go into Nth metal, and the like. While I wouldn't mind seeing all fantastical elements of the DC universe incorporated here, but I'm not sure if that's the direction that WB will take.

That's probably why it wouldn't work. I don't see any amount of cool, indestructible underwear making it possible for a human to survive that amount of physical damage. The other aspects already exist in modern clothing, so I don't see that being incentive either. Besides, if Superman's as smart in this film as everybody suggests, I'd see him gathering up all the Kryptonian wreckage he can get his hands on and secreting it somewhere, if for no other reason than to keep it out of the hands of the military.
