This Batman is so necrid

 

[TEJ]

I love how people talk as if Batman's canon costumes weren't retarded to begin with.

He's a grown man pretending to be a bat, guys. Put down your nostalgia glasses from reading comic books as a kid for a moment, and think about it for a bit.

The main issue I have with this is, if you weren't told that this was supposed to be batman beforehand, would you even know that this is supposed to be batman?

hahahaha, my god. remarkable lol

True. Batman designs are boring anyway and this redesign would make him look cooler and more interesting.

Looks like Nomura has a message next to the figure display teasing he's doing a Catwoman figure too: http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/057/803/53d0b40d5714b.html

 

[Shredderi]

I can dig it.

No, but people are acting as if Nomura wanted to make a faithful design. This is most likely his own interpretation of what Batman would be if he created everything himself.

oh god. I expect toothpick legs/ boy hips ala Lightning.

oooooooooooooooooh boy

I can't wait to see his robin, and his version of the joker, and two face, thomas and martha, joe chill, oracle, nightwing, and granny goodness.

 

[Sentenza]

I don't even think much of batman as a design, generally speaking, and this still strikes me as absolutely dreadful.

 

[Shadow Ranger]

Not his best work, I'll give him that. What it seems like is he (and the PA team) cobbled together Terra (Armored), Bahamut (plus the recent PAK figure), the recent Batman PAK and some bits from the Man of Steel figure and called it a day.

Certainly is not the Batman we deserve.

I will consider buying it because of Nomura, though. Cosider.

 

[SilentSoldier]

Take away those extra arms from the wings and you've got yourself a nice futuristic fantasy type batman. I dig it.

They already made a batman of the future

 

[Arkanius]

He looks like Terrorblade from DOTA2

[UnluckyKate]

Totally looks like Zetman :

Invented by Katsura as a tribute to his favorite hero : batman. You guessed it.

 

[Cikay]

Is it Sora in that armor ?

 

[soulassssns]

Eewwww disgusting

 

[artsi]

No, but people are acting as if Nomura wanted to make a faithful design. This is most likely his own interpretation of what Batman would be if he created everything himself.

Right, why give the pencil to someone like Nomura if you want the result to be like every other design already made.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

More like Bahamutman.

batman is obviously........teaming up with the avengers.........in kingdom hearts 3.

 

[amar212]

Absolutely amazing.

Amazing.

I can't comprehend the level of GAF's unacceptance.

 

[VE3TRO]

So basically a Guyver?

 

[wanders]

At least it's not some roided fuck or some dude wearing his under wear outside

 

[Niwa]

Bahamutman fucks Jokers shit up with Mega-Flare

 

[Zelias]

And here I was hoping for a costume made entirely out of utility belts.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Those aren't by Nomura though.

The rest:

Check these out.

[Sadist]

Yeah, pretty ugly

 

[Maebe]

It looks ridiculous. More ridiculous than batman usually looks anyway. Way too much going on.

 

[HansMaulwurf]

This is why Manga&Anime are cooler than Comics&Cartoons.

 

[synce]

Bahamutman?

 

[robotrock]

hahahaha amazing.

 

[Mr. Smiley]

what the hell

 

[GlamFM]

Horrible, absolutely horrible.

 

[Nokterian]

He looks like Terrorblade from DOTA2

Why did this come to mind as well when i saw those pictures...

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Looks like he tried too hard to make a badass design.

 

[UrbanRats]

Still miles better than the shit Arjham Games design.

The arms on the wings are a bit much, but otherwise, it has that Zetman vibe going on, that i dig.

I would love Yasushi Nirasawa try his hand at Batman design.

 

[Daviii]

That's laughable. And we don't even see the glamour beneath the armor.

 

[Kyoufu]

Not sure if Batman or Bahamut.

I love Nomura but this is pretty terrible.

 

[-PXG-]

I don't know if this is awesome or typical, over the top, over designed, Japanese BS. I like it, but I don't..Hmmmm

 

[Dopus]

How about Viking batman?

 

[Jinfash]

Totally looks like Zetman :

Invented by Katsura as a tribute to his favorite hero : batman. You guessed it.

Now this is something I dig.

Backstory: after facing the Lin Kuei warrior Sub-Zero and losing, the defeated Dark Knight was banished to Netherrealm. There, he made an alliance with the fallen Elder God, Shinnok, and vowed to seek revenge by merging their two realms.

 

[UrbanRats]

The main issue I have with this is, if you weren't told that this was supposed to be batman beforehand, would you even know that this is supposed to be batman?

I don't see that as a problem, as i assume it would take place in a very different world than regular Batman's.
Like an hyper-violent techno gothic sci-fi one.

Kind of like Zetman, but darker.

I seriously don't get the hate.
It may be too busy, but i don't see that as an automatic flaw, if it fits the rest of the world's design.

How about Viking batman?

Yeah to me that is much much worse.

 

[UrbanRats]

.

 

[Acosta]

I think it looks cool... especially the figure. Probably impractical and overdone for the comics, but as a playful thing, I find it quite nice.

I would love it to be a summoning !

 

[Myggen]

I have to imagine that his dumb spikes keep getting caught on shit while he's gliding or grappling around.

It's not the most practical outfit, that's for sure.

Also, this is exactly what I imagined a Tetsuya Nomura version of Batman would look like. Almost looks like a modern transformer.

 

[TEJ]

I can't say I disagree with your logic.

still, I don't hate the design, i'm just a little confused by it. I can only imagine what his catwoman will be like.

 

[Jamie OD]

I'm kind of thinking this would be a better looking villain for the next game than the Arkham Knight.

 

[Famassu]

Not sure if it works as a Batman design per se and the separate hands/claws are dumb, but otherwise I like it. Kind of like Batman x Bahamut x Zone of the Enders mechs x Terra's/Ven's/Aqua's armor.

 

[Empty]

i like it. batman and his costume are incredibly stupid already, at least this design embraces the ridiculousness and goes all out.

 

[RazielCuts]

These Bahamut designs get more intricate by each revision.
