Batman Results - Part 7

"Batman needs to be able to move quickly and silently, and not be too over encumbered by excessive armor, yet needs to protect himself from things like gun fire and blades. I wanted to give him a little more armor than his basic black and grays, but not as much as the Nolan movies. I never really understood why his mouth was exposed, especially when he goes up against characters like the Joker who is notorious for using weapons like laughing gas. I reshaped his cowl to be more of a high tech helmet and gave the ears a more bat-like appearance. His bat symbol has been spread to cover most of his chest and shoulders in a fun design. I gave him electrified gauntlets so he can take out his adversaries quickly and silently. The utility belt is a little more streamlined, and places like his knees, shins, and forearms are more heavily armored. I also gave him red eyes to make him a little more scary."

"I decided to keep it fairly close to the original, since this version of Batman isn't all that recognizable anyway. I made the crimson red more prominent, and modified the belt so it is more of a buckle with some compartments. I changed the bat insignia on the chest to make it look more futuristic and streamliney and sharp-angley. I thought making the mask and cowl that same color of red would look interesting and set the design apart from just having a standard issue black Batman mask. In all, I think this concept has elements of Batman, but also Robin and Nightwing, so hopefully I enhanced that relationship."
