Stephen Schleicher began his career writing for the Digital Media Online community of sites, including Digital Producer and Creative Mac covering all aspects of the digital content creation industry. He then moved on to consumer technology, and began the Coolness Roundup podcast. A writing fool, Stephen has freelanced for Sci-Fi Channel's Technology Blog, and Gizmodo. Still longing for the good ol' days, Stephen launched Major Spoilers in July 2006, because he is a glutton for punishment.

The one thing, though, is that TDK seems to very much NOT be a movie for kids. Let alone murderous psychopathic guy in clown make-up. Did you see that leaked image of Two-Face? Talk about nightmarish…. I’m glad it’s going to be dark, but I hope they don’t try to market it too fiercely to kids.
I long for a day when the moviemakers design a Batman costume that looks like Batman instead of Robocop. The wonderful simplicity of Batman’s outfit is lost in all the extraneous detail they added.
Do you really want Batman to look like Superman with a cowl a secondhand cape and a darker color scheme…Coz thats just about it except for the belt. Dont dis the new generation batsuit.
No, I want Batman to look something like he does in the comics. When you’re making a multimillion dollar movie based on a property, I don’t think it’s too much to ask that it look within hailing distance of the property. I understand that you make changes when you’re switching mediums, but why does Hollywood insist on changing so much 90% of the time?
Besides, Batman is much spookier to the criminal classes if NO ONE KNOWS that he’s wearing body armor. Having him this obviously protected just advertises “vulnerable human underneath”. Imagine if he was wearing a cloth outfit on top of that armor. It would add an air of mystery to him because no one would know how he was pulling off those amazing feats. And Batman is all about being mysterious.

the bat symbol’s too small on this one for my tastes
yeah that and the cowl or the place where his chin goes looks way too small.
On the flipside it looks like he could take some damage with that suit…as opposed to every single other iteration of it…almost.

Totally agree on cloth on top, but remember he is always attacking from behind, in the dark and with a bigass cape.
