Re: Hot Toys - MMS DX 02 - TDK- BATMAN full spec and pics
Man, I can't believe you guys.
"No, no new suit, no new suit"
Uhh, every film to date it's changed. The new suit is as important as the new title itself. It's like a tradition. The suit is one of the first things, if not the first thing to be shown. It creates hype, buzz and speculation. For as long as I can remember it's been "hmm, I wonder what the new suit looks like", then BAM, it's the first thing shown and everyone goes nuts. It also keeps things fresh.
There are ALWAYS improvements to be had, be it aesthetics improvements or plot improvements. In the last film Batman needed to be able to move faster and by the films end he was badly beaten. Chewed apart by dogs, shot, beaten by various henchmen, pummeled by a crowbar, and surviving huge falls.
And who is he going up against in the next film? BANE (probably Batman's most physical adversary) and the GPD (I think he'll want something similar to the Begins armor considering EVERYONE will want to take a shot and stab at him).
They don't even have to explain the new suit, that was what was so unique about TDK.
As for "Nolan gets, what Nolan wants", while I agree somewhat with that sentiment, lets not forget that film making is a team effort with multiple minds behind a concept.
Batman is getting a new suit, if I'm wrong, well, I'm wrong. But every film to date has had a revised or brand spanking new suit, usually improving on the last. TDK suit can be improved.
