The Screen-Used Batsuits- A Mini Documentary

#batman #batsuit
This has been a long time in the making, I had the absolute honour of spending some time with several screen-used Batsuits at Warner Brothers Movie World up on the Gold Coast!
A massive thank you to my dear friend Josh for being such an amazing camera-man and editor on this one!

    Michael Keaton's Batsuits (and Batmobile) will always be my favorite. I'm well aware they're not very functional compared to later Batman movie costumes, but they still have the best color scheme in my book.

    @@JDoe-gf5oz Well then you might as well go with Keaton's Batsuit from the Flash since that's pretty much the same as Val Kilmer's costume minus the nipples (and the rest of the torso design). I think the idea behind it was that it was what Keaton would've worn had he been in Batman Forever (and Tim Burton directed it).

    But I have to say, my favorite is the Batman Begins and to prove how it works in the real world in normal lighting conditions, the video of Batman going into a market and buying loo rolls and milk, and being followed by phone paparazzi's and getting the Bat-bird flipped at them is Epic. That parachute cape with flocked velvet texture and that wide panther neck has the perfect Batman outline, Lindy Hemming killed it!

    33 year old me is very happy that you got to experience this - I love your Cosplay channel too. 🙂 Realised that the Forever panther suit, Begins Batsuit and Pattinson's aren't there. I really like Bale's Batman Begins Batsuit. I remember seeing that online and in magazines when I was 14; when the movie came out in summer 2005, 15 year old me loved everything about it 👌🏼 Overall the Begins suit is my favourite, Keaton's Batman Returns suit comes a close second - it's a tie after that between Pattinson's and Affleck's main BvS suit.

    When you look at the Batman suits from Keaton to Bale, it's all "action figure" inspired and stiff like "iron-man" but when they finally got to Affleck, they took a bold chance at going in a different direction from rubber suit to cloth like material. And it shows this is a Batman who is not guarded and more experience, and just the figure standing looks so imposing like Jim Lee's Batman come to life. They nailed it with Affleck's suit as the most comic book accurate Batman suit going back to fabric and not some rubber coffin that actor's are sweating under the hot lights. Then they went back to the stiff rubber suit for Pattison in The Batman and I get how it's only his 2nd year as a crime fighter and he put it together himself. But it shows that what Affleck had in that suit was really special, only him and Adam West got the fabric suits where they could do their fight scenes and move with as much freedom as possible.

    I wonder why they couldn’t just use a leather or pleather cape for ‘89 Batman through Batman and Robin. If I had to pick my favorite suits it would be Affleck’s, Bales TDK suit, and Kilmers. Honorable mention to Bales Begins suit. Mostly because of the cape. It always amazes me though how people forget the costume for Batman:Dead End. That cowl is amazing and I’m pretty sure He turns his head in that film.

    Interesting. Wow the guys are Iron Head Studios are geniuses for coming up with the idea on the Batfleck cowl. My favorite suit of all of them is probably the Sonar suit from forever. Jose knocked that suit out of the park. Nipple'less and clean. Looks good to this day. Also it was supposed to be Keatons suit when he was originally attached. Furthermore, why don't they just replace all the latex cowls with fiberglass reproductions? The reproductions look like they were just filmed yesterday.. And since no one is allowed to touch them, what harm would it cause as no one would really know. Maybe place movie used latex cowls in a vacuum sealed glass cube or something. Anything to preserve it more.

    As a kid watching Keaton's Batman, I hadn't notice the wide gaps of his cowl, but watching it again many decades later, holy crap it's like a mask from Spirit store every Halloween. Then to see them do a proper Batman mask for Keaton that has no gaps and sits tight on his face for The Flash and the redesigned all black suit makes you happy and sad on the inside at the same time. Happy with how cool it looks but sad that instead of seeing that, we got Kilmer and Clooney instead.

    For me is the 1989/1992 Keaton batsuits, honorable mention for the sonar suit since it was used on by Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy in the screen test. The first 2 Batfleck suits are amazing, I only wish had Afflecks height since I think is onenof the few cowls I can see myself putting into. I love the Bale from Dark Knight and Rises, as well as the Battinson one for adapting the grapple gun into the gauntlets, alongside the hidden batarang in the chest. Also, damn from Cosplay tutorials and later on itno this awesome documentary, that's quite an achievement, congrats dude. 😉 These are my top questions, 1: Which is your favorite videogame Batsuit from the Arkham games? 2: Which batmobile would you definitely drive around? ( I also incluse the animated and the Arkham ones) and if you could choose any piece of every Batsuit from every live action film ever made, which are the ones you will use to put together your definitive custom batsuit? Cosplay Chris style. Kind of like the Savini Jason design for Batman suits.
