The Affleck Batman And Batmobile Are Positively Miller-Esque

[K12]

The easiest way to make the new Batman fail would be to try and out-Nolan the Nolan version of Batman. This picture definitely looks like that is a real possibility.

My first thought after seeing the image was "Are you sure this isn't a screenshot from Batman: Arkham Knight, Snyder?" Seriously, they couldn't have offered a color photo to the masses?

BTW, for those of you who'd like an image that is a bit more clear, Superherohype.com/Comingsoon.net has offered a brightened version.

While I'm not crazy about the Frank Miller design aspect, it does look promising. Glad to see a suit that isn't black rubber armor. I do wonder if Ben Affleck can turn his head with that cowl or not. Overall, not too bad. Just wish we got a better look at the Batmobile and a color image of Batfleck. Still, it is a hell of a lot better than J.J. Abrams giving us a sever case of blue balls in regards to Star Wars: Episode VII.

OK, fingers crossed on Wonder Woman turning out decent.

Totally agree about Wonder Woman looking good for being good looking now. Because currently the best Wonder Woman outfit ever is still the one to the right (compared to the one they were going to use for the TV series on the left*shudder*) Which is rather embaressing, considering the right hand one is for a porno. But then that company still had a better looking Batsuit than the one in the Nolan movies too, as well as a proper Catwoman outfit.

Yeah, I am kinda dreading the final look for Wonder Woman myself. After that failed TV pilot, my expectations are not that high. I'd like to see something that pays homage to the original look while offering something new (something more gladiator perhaps) but I'm sensing they'll use her New 52 look. And that is one look I'm not a big fan off.

The New 52 look could be worse, at least they got rid of that stupid trousers and jacket combo they had going on (because seriously what the fuck was that?), its....servicable. But considering they went old school with Batmans outfit, as the new 52 Batsuit has an armored motif going on, they might well take the Frank Miller Wonder Woman outfit too. I'd be happy if they went with something akin to her Kindom Come armor crossed with Xenas armor,(though without the wings and helmet) I've always preferred WW having a more greco roman look.

Oh, God! As soon as you mentioned Frank Miller's version of Wonder Woman, I immediately had the frightening vision that this movie might be using either Dark Knight Strikes Again or All-Star Batman & Robin as reference material. That is basically my worst fear since Snyder seems to be leaning towards the visual ascetics of The Dark Knight Returns for Batman; that this movie is gonna be a total wank-fest to Frank "insane in the membrane" Miller's period of work. An entire movie where Ben Affleck is portraying Crazy Steve as he screams "I'm the Goddamn Batman!" while Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman is merely a sex toy for Henry Cavill's Superman to win as they cause natural disasters due to them boinking in space.

OK, I'm definitely overreacting here. But, given the fact that DC Comics/Warner Bros is currently operating on "Don't give a fuck" mode with these characters, this is one fear that won't go away. o_o

I unfortunetly am more than familiar with Millers work *shudder* (Well aside from 300 and DKR obviously, those are still great.)

I'll be honest, I wouldn't be surprised. DC clearly doesn't have a plan when it comes to these characters, Millers stuff is XTREME edgy (grim dark sells right, everyone loves grimdark brutalz Batman), they clearly hired Gal Gadot for eye candy, so screw it, why not go for a Supes WW sex scene?

The easiest way to make the new Batman fail would be to try and out-Nolan the Nolan version of Batman. This picture definitely looks like that is a real possibility.

Nolan doesn't have a monopoly on a grumpy Batman ¬¬ The Nolan films were very good, but they wern't very good BATMAN films, all they need to do is not go for hyper realism, which given the inclusion of Wonder Woman and Supes, they can't. Batman felt out of place in his own movies in the Nolan-verse. Heck Bats is wearing some real old school gear and has a BATmobile in this, no sense of trying to channel Nolan to me.

As has been noted before, anyone can play Batman. You hire an actor who can play Bruce Wayne. That's the role I want to see him in. The suit (and stunt doubles) are Batman.

I know I'm totally jumping at Bat-Shadows here, but does anyone else think the bottom left of that image looks like something Joker-ish?

Spoiler

Thank the lord i'm not the only one to spot it!

I dread to think, Jessie is Lex Luthor, who is gonna be Joker? Ron Pearlman?....Actually that would be hilarious to see!

I saw it too, in fact I first saw it on the Batfleck photoshop thread and thought that was supposed to be the joke.
