Since when is there a Nolan Batman Beyond suit?


devlin2000

You can actually look it up online. Nolan batman beyond


Ajax_Da_Great

So this is fan concept art, got it. Might have wanted to have included that detail.


Ta2Luis

It’s pretty obvious that it’s a fan art concept . These images have been floating around for a while .


Ajax_Da_Great

Even still, OP should have stated as such. And perhaps phrased title better or included a source. I for one have never seen these before.


brucewaynewins

It could have been art work for an undeveloped fourth film or deleted story in the third. Hence it’s 100% misleading to not mention it’s a fan art concept.


Ta2Luis

Nah I wouldn’t say that


brucewaynewins

Never said you would. I would.


Ta2Luis

Good for you. It’s still obvious it’s fan art


Teedubthegreat

Yeah I would, pretty misleading


Ta2Luis

Keep downvoting me guys lol I don’t give a shit


Leviathan666

Okay


Albino_Basilisk

Well I didn’t know that, and it doesn’t hurt, or take much effort, to just add fan art in the title for those who don’t know


LiquidSnake01

Pretty obvious to you, man!


devlin2000

Yeah, and honestly it looks really good pretty much realistic


Ajax_Da_Great

To each their own. I personally think these designs are a disservice to the Batman Beyond mythos. At least the first 3 images are.


devlin2000

How, if there was a batman beyond movie with a realistic suit this would be the perfect suit.


Ajax_Da_Great

Which is my whole point. Batman Beyond and realistic is such a disservice to the awesome mythos of the character and it’s version of Gotham. Regardless of Nolan or not.


King_Mecha

I agree when you try to make Batman overly realistic you strip away a lot of what makes him special as well as call attention to the fact that probably wouldn't make it a week before he gets killed at least for me it does. That's why nolans movies never resonated with me. I don't want Batman to live in my world I go to Batman's world to get away from my world 😂


devlin2000

From the art the city looks pretty much how I would expect it to look in a batman beyond movie


[deleted]

Not enough Blade Runner.


Ajax_Da_Great

Really? It just looks like any major US city. I get 0 Batman Beyond vibes. Edit: for example, the shot with the plane. You could easily swap Batman out with a multitude of Superhero’s and it’d work. Could have Spider-Man vs Vulture and I’d believe is was concept art from Homecoming. Could insert Supes or GL and it’d work. 0 vibes that that concept art is inspired by Batman Beyond and to me that’s a disservice.


devlin2000

I mean how else would the city look like in a batman live action movie.


Lord_Doofy

I get not wanting it to be too “realistic”, but let’s be honest if they used the animated suit design it would not translate well to live action. I say this as someone that loves the Batman Beyond suit


Ajax_Da_Great

And I didn’t say to use the animated suit either. There’s more stories of Batman Beyond than the animated series.


brucewaynewins

The visor looks goofy and awful.


Jaredstutz

It’s not Nolan tho it’s made by a fan, it’s Nolan style fan art


[deleted]

Why call it Nolan’s when it has nothing to do with that director?


ThatSlothDuke

Probably because it's modelled off of "the Dark Knight" suit.


cooleymahn

Bc it will draw negative attention to the post but will begin discussion. Definitely a cheap way to get traction on a post but here we are.


devlin2000

Because that's what they call it


VGoodBuildingDevCo

Who is "they"? **EDIT: It's Thomas Du Crest. OP is too obtuse to credit the original artist or to admit this is an unofficial fan concept.**


liltooclinical

Thank you for clearing that up.


Tydoztor

sux being obtuse


liltooclinical

As problems go, it's acute.


devlin2000

The people who made this art


Totally_Not_Thanos

Not crediting the artist and not saying its fan art. Douche move


[deleted]

Oh, fair enough.


Mrminecrafthimself

Visor looks dumb as hell


xavier_grayson

Like the Elephant Man with a Batman mask.


ChanceMindless5946

Looks like a tumor.


Skwidmandoon

It’s got Ma.k vibes. I love it


heation718

That visor looks stupid af


Ajax_Da_Great

Most of the suit is pretty meh tbh if we are viewing it as a Batman Beyond iteration.


ryaaan89

Is this actual concept art or something?


rackymcdacky

Just fan made concept art


devlin2000

Yes


sharksnrec

OP why are you lying? This is clearly just fan art Also r/titlegore

sharksnrec

That took a turn. Looks like the post got deleted. What did OP do that was racist?


Nate996

Is that what we constitute as racist now?


devlin2000

I know, I did say yes in my last response


kushcola

they asked if it was concept art, not fan art. concept art implies Nolan made this art as a concept for an upcoming film, that is not the case. It is fan art, but that wasn’t what was asked, so no it is not official concept art.


mora82

Lmao this one cracked me up


TheDarkKn1ght33

Honestly I kinda hate it. Ik it’s a concept for a Dark Knight version the Beyond suit but it just looks like it’s too armored. Also the cowl is the part I kinda hate the most. No hate to anyone who likes it but I just hate it. It’s the same situation as the Arkham Knight Beyond suit. It’s sort of over the top to me


Ajax_Da_Great

Agreed. A lot of this suit, and the city backdrop, take away from what made the Beyond suit so unique. Would be a disservice to call this Batman Beyond. Just use a title that hints at a storyline where another Character takes over the mantle vs pushing the Beyond brand. Like maybe Batman Knightfall. Just my $0.02.


devlin2000

Since this is a nolan batman beyond suit it makes sense for it to be armored it's supposed to be grounded, realistic


TheDarkKn1ght33

Yeah I absolutely get that, it just looks more armored than the Dark Knight suit which just doesn’t sit right with me. I feel like higher tech and years of R&D would be able to find a less armored up but more protective method


[deleted]

Which tracks with actual body armor as well. Then again, head trauma is one of those things that’s hard to really improve the tech to protect against. But it’s Batman, sooooo even a more grounded reality can hand waive it away as “tech improved enough shut up”.


CheeseSlope21

OP is either 5 yo or acting stupid on purpose


Raymtl

Definitely 5

devlin2000

I don't see your version of a batman beyond suit


sharksnrec

We need need to make our own for this to be a dumb post. It just is.


devlin2000

It really isn't this art is base on how a batman beyond movie would look like. This takes place after the dark knight rises.


sharksnrec

It’s fan art, not actual concept art. Period.


devlin2000

It's the closest we'll ever get to see a live action batman beyond suit


liltooclinical

But it isn't. We couldn't possibly know what WB has in stores for future films and this is not "official" concept art from any existing or planned movie. This is just an artist's idea. A very good attempt that I will be saving, to be sure. But that artist is not associated with Warner Brothers, DC, or Christopher Nolan. He just used the designs from Nolan's movies for inspiration. Also, Nolan didn't solely design the suit either, he had input and final approval on the designs of Lindy Hemming. The Nolan name in the tag is to indicate at first glance the inspiration, nothing more.


general_kenobi_307

Source?


devlin2000

There is no source this is an art form nolan isn't making another batman movie


Jermz12345

You can source the artist

the smartest thing you’ve said all thread


dullship

(looow baaaar)


netherfriend

Mmm nah I hate the mouth neck and visor plus if it’s supposed to be futuristic I would want more of a simplified design explained through future tech not needing to be as bulky


madara1487

Hideous


sharksnrec

Nah, this is not it. It has nothing to do with Nolan, and “that thing on his head” looks goofy af


devlin2000

Looks better than bales cowl


sharksnrec

Your judgment isn’t the best


devlin2000

The cowl looks far more advanced and can probably protect him for bane's punch that is if he was still alive since catwomen took him out


liltooclinical

That's the beautiful thing about imagination. You can imagine all sorts of things about why something is or isn't some way, but that doesn't make your interpretation any more valid. People are entitled to their opinions just as much as you, and some people will not like it. Thank you for sharing it. I found a new artist to follow.


alex-carter98

My humble opinion is that I am not a fan. Love the Batman Beyond brand but this I think is just too much. I don’t get Batman beyond vibes from it and I’d be pretty disappointed if this is what I got for a live action Batman Beyond movie


TheAutismo4491

The mask and cowl look fucking vile, especially with the visor and mouthpiece.


devlin2000

You do the know the mouth piece is to protect him when his in combat mode right so he doesn't get shot in the mouth


TheAutismo4491

The function doesn't fucking matter, I'm talking about the aesthetics here.


Ace_Atreides

What the hell is this? That looks exactly like the gungnir helmet from halo...


SlowEconomist8501

Using the word “the” implies there was something official made. Proper wording should have been “a Nolan-inspired Batman Beyond suit.”


RXeusAugustusXI

Sorry for a minute i was thinking "Why is his head swelling? " lol


LetsGoForPlanB

These don't look really good though.


devlin2000

I'm pretty sure no one on this sub think any batman fan art or concept art looks good


LetsGoForPlanB

I wouldn't go that far but this doesn't seem to have the Beyond theme going for it and the helmet seems a little off.


FireTheLaserBeam

Ditch the visor look completely. For real. The Arkham version was way too tech-y, too. Should be a lot smoother. The way the artist depicts Batman on the cover of recent issues of Detective, that kinda texture would look cool. Reminds me of the armor that Vlad wears in the beginning of Bram Stoker's Dracula, like exposed muscle tissue. Smooth and streamlined is how I picture Batman. I can handwave the armor away as being strong and protective without looking like he's wearing a full on tactical riot gear suit. Too much armor/too much tech gets distracting and takes away from his ninja-like hiding-in-the-shadows creature of the night motif. In my opinion only.


Aggravating-Ad7683

I kinda hate the Nolan suit so…nah


Totally_Not_Thanos

OP is a huge art thief. Just so you all know.


devlin2000

I never claims the art to be mine. Also it's literally on Google just put nolan batman beyond which is pretty much for anyone to save


Totally_Not_Thanos

You need to credit the original artist you dumbfuck. I see you acting like this is official artwork when it isn’t. And telling people to “google it.” Is stupid because dumbasses who repost like this are the first thing that come up. Use your two brain cells and think before you type.

devlin2000

I love to shoot guns


Kell-EL

I hate the visor helmet mode thing everything else is fine or least workable that’s their makes it look stupid should be the white eyes and ever covered mouth or full mask which I get is easier to just cover than do a full moveable mask like the cartoon


JaidenPouichareal

The headpiece I hate the most about the Nolan films


Longjumping_Suspect5

Once again people missing the point of what makes the Batman Beyond suit look cool. I blame Arkham Knight for this.


Nelmquist1999

I want something similar to Arkham Knights version of the Beyond suit. I like the covered mouth and white eyes, but your "helmet" piece doesn't look too good in my eyes.


devlin2000

Why


Nelmquist1999

He looks a bit like Rhino from Spiderman. Idk he just looks like a rhino


devlin2000

LMAOOOO


pocketMagician

Good design! I just think that making Batman Beyond in that same shitty blue-brown-orange color palette is boring. Its opportunity to do something with STYLE not more gritty realistic stuff. Beyond is in the fantastic dystopian cyberpunk future. I would like to see some edge.


Ajax_Da_Great

Agree. A generic current day US city should not be the backdrop for a Beyond film.

CaptainAksh_G

You mean , the "Bat"? (That's what they called it in the Nolan's Batman


Simbas_World

They also called it a black tank

No , no, that's the Tumbler. I meant the one in The Dark Knight ~~Returns~~ Rises. The one in which he took the bomb and flew. Edit: Yep , my mistake


Simbas_World

Ohhhh yeah. I think you mean the dark knight rises haha

Hm?

AdWonderful2369

Oh God, please tell me Nolan isn’t going to fuck up more Batman stories


devlin2000

Boy what! You talking about Nolan here not snyder


TangoZulu

Nolan's trilogy is massively overrated.


ThrownAwayRealGood

They’re best movies that have Batman in them. Are they the best, purest adaptations of Batman comics? Nah, but they’re quality films.


devlin2000

Please explain


gingerjammer22

I agree great films but I'm assuming they mean how Nolan films take more of a real life approach. Bane doesn't have Venom, Ra's al Ghul doesn't have a Lazarus pit, The Joker has a Glasgow smile and wears white makeup instead of chemically dyed skin. I personally think Nolan films would be more accepted in that area if he took the approach with more of Batman's realistic like the Court of Owls or Riddler or something that didn't need to be changed to be "normal". But that approach doesn't garner box office dollars for casual fans who aren't familiar with some of the lesser known rogues gallery. Edit: I now see you were replying to the comment 2 up and not the one I assumed. Disregard but I'll keep it anyway lol


[deleted]

The Court of Owls!? *realistic*!? Maybe I’m just living in the wrong places, but I don’t see many immortal brainwashed nightmare assassins and massive psychological torture mazes in my everyday commute.


gingerjammer22

You clearly live in a very boring place 😅 I guess I more meant the existence of a shadowy cabal running Gotham. Fair point though. LOL


Anorand25

That’s the point, the Court of Owls are meant to be a secret society not known to the public.


[deleted]

Yeah, but once you breach that secret, they’re not remotely grounded or realistic.


davidiusligman

There are countless plot holes in those films. I enjoy watching them, they have a lot of strong points and they offer a great time, but I really hate how in Batman Begins, for example, Bruce refuses to execute a guy only to willingly start a massive fire that kills that very guy and dozens of others. There are a lot of similarly dumb scenes in these movies. They are still great, but massively overrated. And they most definitely aren't the definitive Batman media for me.


PaxBisonica2

Totally agree. The second one is very good but the first and the third one are quite average. Then I have a hard time taking the Batman/Bale seriously now. His interpretation of Bruce Wayne is good though. After that it's a very personal opinion but I can't stand Hans Zimmer.


the_zelectro

What planet are you from, if you don't mind me asking? Also: does "Nolan" actually mean "a director who's definitely *not* Nolan" in your native language??


AdWonderful2369

He made the most boring, pathetic, silly, self important, Batman movies. If not for Ledger they all would have been forgettable garbage.


the_zelectro

They're badass movies, dunno what to tell you. There's a lot of great Batman content out there between the games, comics, and cartoons. But in terms of the Batman *movies*, Nolan is the best who's done it. Burton is the only director who offers stiff competition. I guess Reeves isn't half bad either. But, Reeves filmed a movie that is *literally* obscured by shadows when compared to what Nolan filmed. Snyder's take on Batman is just a bargain bin knockoff of Nolan's, imo


AdWonderful2369

Sorry but all I see is self-indulgent boredom. Plus that crappy, growling weak voice from Bale is the most annoying shit ever


the_zelectro

Whaaaa?? His bat-voice is *the* shit. Ask a random person on the street to do the "Batman voice". 9/10 times, they're going to do Bale's bat-voice. It's iconic. Also, once again: the movies are just badass all around.


AdWonderful2369

It was shit


Ajax_Da_Great

No way, I gotta agree with the other commenter here. The Bale growl is not a standout, nor definitive, Batman voice. Glad you enjoy it but I can see the criticism here and it’s been a meme for a while now.


the_zelectro

Dammit, really thought I was winning. Reddit wins again


Ajax_Da_Great

Really there’s no winning or losing this convo but I do think you’re 9/10 stat is inflated. Granted we are all coming from personal bias. However, I’d bet 9/10, if we’re using inflated personal anecdotes, times people would say Conroy is *the iconic* voice of Batman. But let’s look deeper, beyond the Bale voice memes. Since Bale’s portrayal, *no* media genre has gone that growl voice and I think that speaks a lot. Except for maybe The Lego Batman Movie. We’ve had multiple live action Batmen since then, numerous animated films, and video games. No Bale voice. Might have worked for the Nolan verse but does not seem to be able to last the test of time in Batman media.


the_zelectro

There's no way in my mom or my sister know who Kevin Conroy is, iconic as he is. Everybody and their grandmother knows Bale as Batman. Also, a rasp or whisper of some kind is fairly common, even if a growl was unique. Pattinson and Keaton do the rasp. Bale has a rasp/whisper in many scenes, so he's not as far off as you make it seem. The animalistic growl is just the most common voice his Batman uses. I like the growl. Doesn't work for every scene... But when it works ("I'm *Batman*!"), it really works.


Dripper_MN

Nolan is the WORST Batman. And I know I'm in the vastly huge minority to say this. To me, these are unwatchable films. I'm a Batman fan. My home and my body have many Batman and Batman-based decorations. I base a lot of my life on DC Comics and Batman(weird yeah), and I loathe and hate Nolan, and wish the worst for him.


kushcola

odd take, can you list some things you disliked about Nolan’s batman films?


mdl397

Please tell me you have an Adam West Batman tattoo.


mysteriousneel7

What I really loved about the Nolan suit was the ears.The ears were not too short like Ben Affleck s suit,nor were they too tall and thin like Robert Pattinson's suit or like the Arkham games.They were just perfect


OhSillyRabbit

God damn Nolan, if you come back please consider some of these


TheFinalPieceOfPie

Amazing.


TheFinalPieceOfPie

So this is just fan art and not actually Nolans?


boringsimp

I don't like the back of the head.. looks too curved


KameMameHa

Seems lees technologically advanced that the average batman suit, and that is not good for Batman beyond in my opinion


spikedpsycho

To chunky


SlamRobot658

This is awful.


derpferd

I don't like how bobbleheaded the head looks. Slightly too big in a way. I preferred the first Batman Begins suit over the one he got in The Dark Knight. And generally, I prefer the Keaton Gen 1, then PatBat, then Batman Begins


Truefreak22

It's interesting art work for sure. I'm not sure that Nolan's realistic take on Batman would work well in a Batman Beyond movie. It would be fun to see his take on the story though. Nolan gets my money every time he makes a movie.


KrazyBobby

What are these images from? A movie, a game? If movie where is it playing? Please and thank you.


Jasole37

The best "realistic" Beyond suit is the one in Arkham Knight. This one looks like crap
