The original suit was impractical and stiff, but from a design perspective it balanced the fictional tech demands against Burton's aesthetic sensibilities. Nostalgia has nothing to do with it, in this case.It’s not like the original suit wasn’t lame either, it’s just your nostalgia goggles
I never thought so, myself. And there's historical precedent for sculpted musculature in real-world, ancient armours, which is likely where that came from.You can argue that the sculpted muscles are "goofy,"
The jawline alone gives it that classic look.View attachment 572298

What could have been. Kinda reminds me of the Begins suit.
More like the Returns suit cheated on the 89 suit with the Begins suit in a cheap motel for five minutes of meaningless pleasure after paying 50 dollars to that Begins whore. Now the Returns suit is getting divorced and resents the new bastard Flash suit baby.Good call. Definitely looks like the Returns suit made sweet, sensual love to the Begins suit, and this is the result.

Seen this an instantly thought of the Batman Forever suit. Looks like movement might be better except for the neck of the cowl. Not wowing me, but it is a promo pic and not seen on film yet. Going to be a long wait.
It already looks like a Hot Toys figure.
