why is it crappy looking?? its 100x better than the Batman Forever and Batman & Robin suits. (whoever designed those should be tasered in the sac)
i like the new suit...kind of looks like a tactical military design.
It is certainly more attractive than those examples, at least there aren't nipples, but everything about those films was a complete campy disaster, the suits included. Any sloppy design would shine next to those turds.
The mesh chainmail undersuit with armor pieces is fine as is the cowl cut at the neck so Batman can finally turn his head and I'm ok with the new action feature shooting gauntlets. The main problem most have I believe is how busy and cluttered the new suit looks. I don't care for the grey/black two-tone look. The bat symbol is way too small and dinky looking. The hyper stylized abs remind me of the Schmacher suits - which is bad - and the leg and thigh armor are the ugliest part and look like a craptastic futuristic Hasbro figure. If the leg armor were more subdued and the bat symbol larger I wouldn't have as much of a problem with the new suit.
