- The designing of the movie Batsuits- A sample of the DVD special features for the Batman movies. The movies can be bought on DVD and Bluray from Warner Brothers. I edited this but don't own the footage.

"I had to try on the suit to understand how the actor was feeling"
Yeah whatever, you're fooling nobody, you just wanted to dress up as batman.
Who can blame him tbh
I was about to write the same thing!!
Undoubtedly
Perhaps he was, but then again
How else would you be able to get an understanding of how comfortable or uncomfortable the suit would be for the actor who's wearing it??
@@karlsmith2570 especially when all complaints are directed towards the main designer. So of course he would want to wear something that has NEVER been attempted before in an effort to understand any concerns those making the film while wearing it.
"...so we invented our own fabric"
Legendary
Whatever makes the scenes work
The 89 suit owns all of them. No one had ever made a costume like that before. To think it went from Adam West tights to that is a truly remarkable leap.
“We got new silver suits, it’s just how it is”
Legit 5 seconds later
“The costume has to be frightening or else it has no purpose”
Those 2 statements are talking about 2 different movies though
not really in context though is it? they were talking about two completely different movies.
This is yet another reason why Batman and Robin was a massive letdown
"All the joints had to be kept mobile."
Then why doesn't the head freaking move!?
It did in the Dark Knight. They incorporated it into his progress of being Batman.
@@emreevo8 exactly did that guy even fucking watch it
@@TanWam lol wtf where u watching? That quote was referring to the burton batsuit
@@bruhbruh-lw8vh yeah my mistake
The head doesn't have a joint, duh. It moves via magic
This is what I love about Nolan, he really understands the concept of the Batman character
Ethan King no
Ethan King no he doesn’t
@@scottryker4888 stfu
@@scottryker4888 Fuck off
I really love The Dark Knight batsuit but in terms of comic to screen adaptation suits Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck definitely deserve that because their costumes are literally ripped right out of the comics!
but keaton couldn't move his god damn neck and he looks like a joke
The neck turning problem wasn't fixed until the 2nd Nolan film.
@@506thLittleberry Well Nolan didn't get the memo from the 1989 film.
Great work for this movie
have you read any Batman comics? Keaton's suit was nothing like the comics.
the batman begins suit is by far the best, it looks so intimidating, they should have kept it for the rest of the trilogy
I agree my favorite suit of all the films, he actually does look intimidating in that suit. The redesign for TDK was ok, but I didn't like the slimmed down neck, even though it makes sense from a practical standpoint. I also thought the Batman Returns suit looked pretty cool as well.
deraj nitram fully agree, dont like the neck at all
Medina Sod not mad about the neck of that suit
Batman begins would be the best batman movie if heath ledger was on it.
But i still think Begins is better than TDK
Captain Obvious I agree inthe dark knight and do rises he was way to thin. In begins he was more muscular bulky
The arkham city suit looks great. I was comparing the live action ones because they are actual suits that are made and need to look in front of the camera whereas the arkham suit looks good all the time since it's animated.
"It felt like I was making a toy commercial."
Really? Wonder why that could be.
Batman Returns and The Dark Knight had the best costumes.
Harry Warburg Batman forever panther suit? Which suit is that? I only remember standard and sonar but nothing else, only weird lighting from scene lighting but not an entire different suit? I haven't seen it in a while tbh.
farfangled disagree. None of the suits are really that great.
Returns and begins are probably still my faves, but bvs is right up there. Really love that suit man. They got it down
The sickest Batman suit ever was Batman forever silver suit
I think all the Batsuits were badass and I appreciate all the work that went into them.
It's interesting how the Arkham games made the Batsuit more and more like Nolan's once his Trilogy was over.
Michael Ventura yeah what the is your background for your hannel? UGh
You ever played Mortal Kombat 3?
They went with the more armored style of Batsuit. The Batsuit in Batman Returns is easily one of the best designed Batsuits in media outside of the comic books. It looks like the batsuit in BvS is going to be the most faithful to the comics, particularly Frank Miller's Batman.
+Michael Ventura Comics did as well which begs the question why so many comic book fans hate on the trilogy for not being very comic booky, yet it's actually the comics and games that are taking inspiration from the Nolan movies, not vice versa.
Only one or 2 movies had suits look like if you had a million dollars to design and manufacture a personal set of body armor tomorrow. Some went into the action figure route and the shine went Way to deep into a comic to build from. I'm just glad they finally added a fly to pee from without taking the whole thing off during a shoot!
Meanwhile at marvel: let's just CGI the whole suit.
So true hahaha
Meanwhile at DC: let's CGI the whole green lantern suit.
Aaanndd, never speak of that movie again after its run is offer
@@rafsolo Marvel fan boy 😂 I like both Dc and Marvel
@@Chee.Y4ng Actually I like both too. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to say that :)
@@rafsolo yeah ik. I was just messing around. I was dissapointed about GL suit too when i first watched the movie when it came out
The Batman Returns suit is still my favorite. I love that look so much. The black and yellow Batman chest piece is what I think of, when I think Batman. The suit they were working on for the third film looked amazing as well! I'm gonna be super bummed if we ever find out they were gonna do the black and grey, from the picture that was leaked. Hopefully we will get the black and grey suit in the new trilogy!
Rose City Sneakers rumor is the new trilogy will have a blue and grey suit.
The video starts out with "The persona he had was he was an ordinary man..."
Bruce Wayne was far from ordinary, and he was the Batman with or without the suit.
8:46 that looks so freaking good, the grey suit. Holy cow I wish that was the costume!!!!!
Favorite Burton Batman Costume: Batman Returns.
Favorite Nolan Batman Costume: Batman Begins.
Personally, Burton's Batsuit for Keaton is my favorite :)!!!
The batsuit in Batman Returns is one of the best designed.
Nolan Batman suit is the best, totally original, suit with sense.
I like Michael Keaton in the sequin bat suit...
The Batman Returns Batsuit is still one of my favorites with its Art Deco elements. I’ve always been a fan of Art Deco. I’m thrilled that Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman costume is very Art Deco.
I love how, for TDK and TDKR, they redesign the suit so it can allow him to move faster and yet, the movements in the fight scenes were so slow and looked choreographed rather than natural.
In TDK the fighting scenes were nice but in TDKR I thought they wanted to make Batman slow just to show that Babe was superior and he was just playing with Batman and didn't feel the need to move fast, if you only observe Bane's movements you'll get that feeling.
Watch the night club fight in TDK. Batman is super agile and fast when he takes on several of those goons.
It feels SO GOOD to see Nolan came up after watching the 'Batman & Robin' part. Geez.
Love the Batman Returns suit. That suit is really slick and really awesome.
thank God for chris Nolan
Lawrence Davis Christopher Nolan
Don Julio Chris is short for Christopher
To be able to live through all these adaptations, was a great honor!
Something they havn't done in the movies yet that I would love: make the armor scratched as he goes along. If you go out and fight bad guys every night, the armor will get damaged, just like in the arkam games. Show us that batman takes a few punches!
In dawn of justice it looks like the suit is battle worn.
Watch Batman 1989 again, the suit was damaged at the end of the film.
Alex Guzmán after an explosion and Keaton pulling off the cowl, I think he means more subtle, from enemies not self inflicted batsuit damage like the cowl being torn off. Like how batflecks is but if you see it start new and then get battle damaged over the course of the film.
+Billghli (Billghli) In Batman Bruce only had one batsuit, because of that, the suit was pretty damaged by the end of the film. You are talking about Batman Returns
Ohh, true but I don't really remember their being damage, just dust and his face was cut or he had blood at least but that's all I remember.
The Batman Returns suit is the best. The way that cowl fit Keaton’s head is excellent.
I love the Batman Returns suit the best. It’s my favorite.
Next year (2022) is the 30th Anniversary of Batman Returns. My favourite Bat movie, and at the ripe old age of 51, I now have most of a Returns batsuit of my own. What a design.
I wish they had kept the Art Deco theme throughout the. Nolan movies.
Danny Elfman music, Tim Burton Batmobile, but put Aaron Eckhart in it as Harvey Dent ...
Batman Returns suit was my fave.
I've never understood this phobia of the grey suit. However Batman v Superman turns out, I think we'll be better for having seen a real batsuit.
i mean... it was the best part, even if most of it was shit
The Ultimate Edition is a goddamned masterpiece.
The best batman suit is ben aflecks new one...in my opinion
@fake channel hell yeah hope you like it better. I enjoyed it immensely.
Wow. Just wow at the contrast between the explanations about the suits from the first four movies and Nolan's films.
Not a Nolan fanboy. But, his suits were by far the best, with the classic Burton suits coming in second. All the others were gay.
oh sick I love how this is side by side interviews of Burton AND Nolan, my two favourite Batman directors.
As a child I enjoyed the old Batman movies, as an adult I prefer the Dark Knight trilogy.
I enjoy the Dark Knight Trilogy except for the last one Dark Knight Rises. It is just not a very good Batman movie. It felt obvious that the writing was not as good.
Still better than the Burton movies.
@@LordMalice6d9
Dark Knight Rises is actually my favorite of the trilogy. I know its an unpopular opinion. As a huge comics fan I enjoyed the inspiration from a bit of Miller's The Dark Knight Returns, Knightfall and No Man's Land. I also fucking loved Tom Hardy's Bane and I think it was Bale's best performance of the trilogy.
Tim Burton was THE best choice for that particular movie era: fantasy and reality merged in a more comic character based style. It perfectly fits the development of comics turning into silver-screen-reality. BUT, the audience was ready to take it a step further. Something Tim Burton simply couldn't do.... but Christopher Nolan was cut out for. I mean: we're 13 years from the release of Batman Begins... and everything is still not outdated. Like Star Wars 4-6 were waaay ahead of their time... presumably... nothing will top this in a loooooong, long time.
@@wolfthornnholtzklau4913 The 3rd movie actually is the best Batman movie. The philosophy and the character breaks and builds are by far the best of all the batman movies.
Those costumes look soo cool for each batman .
The best Batsuit will exist when a REAL Batsuit is built.
Christian Bale loved his suit and was sad when he had to give up the role of Batman. He still keeps the 'suit' because he said it's one of greatest roles he has and will ever undertake.
0:50 - 9:56 The Glory Days
9:57 - 14:58 The Dark Days
14:59 - 25:38 The New Age
I like how the filmmakers of Batman Begins actually thought about the story and the character in creating the suit and not just product placement or making it look like something out of a catalog.
Best Cat woman ever.
Michelle Pfeiffer 😼
Zoe kravitz will be the best
Every batsuit has its own personality and every batsuit is special to me especially the bvs one its a really good suit
They telling they made giant leap from Tim Burton film. Yeah... gigant leap... to the abyss.
They made a gigantic leap to add nipples lol
Face it, Bat Nipples are the most unintentionally terrifying feature.
The Batman Begins suit looked awesome in the movie, so seeing the behind-the-scenes footage was actually kind of disappointing. Guess that's a credit, then, to the visual effects guys who made the suit look like it was made out of something other than foam rubber.
I still think Michael Keaton's Batsuits were the best looking.
i really appreciate all the hard work Nolan put into batman's costume u can tell he really cares
The Dark Knight batsuit are totally the best, it can move the neck and it looks really awesome! The unility belt just look absolutely awesome and the cowl has that kind of angry type of face.I really love that emotion not like the rest of the batsuit which have no emotions at all except for the batman begins batsuit. For the Micheal Keaton batsuit, it looks really good in the dark but the six pack type of thing on his body looks really weird and it also makes me feel like I can put my fingers into his cowl.Batman Forever batsuit and batman and robin batsuit looks not bad, but why the stupid bat NIPPLES?! They even show bat butts in the movie which I really don't like! Still, my favourite batsuit and batman actor are christian bale and the dark knight suit :) Thanks Christoper Nolan for saving batman back :-)
Zachary Issac I respect your opinion but I disagree I think the batman begins suit gave more intimidating look than the dark knight suit also the begins suits cape could be folded around the body that gives a batman comic style and look and character I think that the dark knight suit lacks the animal persona that Bruce Wayne as a character presents the dark knight suit looks like a motorcycle outfit not a bat suit I understand why Christopher Nonlon changed the suit inorder for Christian Bale to move his head but I think if Christopher nonlon could come with a idea of a batsuit that is light weight gives protection and brings fear then the second suit wouldn’t look weird and non animalistic . I also like the 1989 batsuit.
Best Batsuits imo:
1. Batman Begins. Look at 19:02. THAT is Batman. He looks like a fucking beast.
2. TDK/TDKR. I like how functional it is and it looks kinda cool.
3. Batman Returns. It looks more tactical and smooth than the original.
4. Batman 89. Introduced the all black look for the first time which I personally prefer than the grey and blue/black (arkham games did that look the best)
5. Black BF suit (minus nipples).
6. B&R
7. Adam West
8. B&R ice suit. WTF.
"Okay, so what was up with the nipples on the batsuit in those other films?"
"No comment"
There was a costume shop in our local mall that had a full size Batman costume for sale, and when I was a kid I dreamed of one day running around in it. Maybe someday.
I m still waiting for an actor that will be the Best hal Jordan ever, Green lantern is awesome!
They ACTUALLY MADE it.
I’m speechless.
I just noticed how most of the design folks are British... Interesting!
Christopher Nolan, Gary Oldman, Michael Caine, Christian Bale, Liam Neeson, and Tom Hardy are from that area too ... although Neeson is a bit of a stretch but I mean those English-speaking isles
The Batman Suits from Part 1, 2, and 3 are the best !!!
DCwiki: Height 6' 2"
Also on the character Bio's in the Arkham games.
The proportions of Batman in the Arkham series was more like 6 foot 6 250 lol
@@CyborgSodaCollects thats true very exaggerated. Arkam origins was the perfect proportions.
man I would love to see all the actor's talk about their own experience in the batsuit
My only problem with the Dark Knight series is the fucking voice. Other than that even Bale seemed acceptable.
Matthew Davidson I totaly agree, nothing tops the animated series. Well we will see. The new Batman voice in Dawn of Justice resembles that of the TDKReturns animated movie adaptation. At least it's an improvement over The DK trilogy one.
Matthew Davidson indeed.
LKVideos forget the voice, apreciate the acting
BrianRios26 acting was good. But for me it just wasn't Batman.
Its not bales fault. the guys didnt just special effect it
What I love the most about Nolan's suit is that I could really see Batman's feelings throughout the mask, with the others I just saw a guy trying to punch people.
I just got this recommended, right after the Robert Pattinson suit was revealed.
Batman Returns is by far my Favorite Batman Costume ever. It has this armour look that was cool and armour like, yet it still kinda resembled a body
25:30 Rachel: Bruce...seriously...why are you talking like that.
HOLY!!! That electronic fabric stuff in Nolan movie is REAL!!!??????
"we made the finest, finest parachute silk... it's a nylon"
so... it's not a silk?
Exactly!🤣
to the crew that made Nolan's version... THANK YOU!! That's a real BATSUIT!
Christian bale the best batman ever
Yup! Chain smoking throat cancer voice and all!!
Joe Cates said every non comic book fan ever
So only "true fans" disagree with Bale being the best? (btw, Bale's not my favorite)
Altar360 I don't know very much comic book batman fans who love Christian bale. but the ones who do got way too attached to him when the films came out Cuz he was seen ass the "best" they were offered. plus it was the first time of a batman movie going thst dark in a while so they were blown away. but when ben came in as batman, they didn't know how to respond to him so they either started to hate on him or just not like him at all (for some people)
CinemaGeek In ny experience it varies. Many people I know that like Christian Bale's portrayal are comic book fans, others are more Keaton or even Conroy fans. I just didn't like the implication that if you like Bale you're not a real comic book fan
I believe this is a combination of all the different segments of the special features. I just wanted to say you did a superb job editing them all together into cohesive thoughts. Thanks
Its funny how almost 20 years later people are still upset about putting nipples on a batsuit.
They did what?!? That pisses me off!!! I am going to write a letter to my congressman!
Because its so fucking weird, that's why.
@7:22 I love how the cowl almost blended in with the cape
Michael Keaton's Batsuit, is definitive. That IS Batman.
Ryan DeClue I agree but batman begins suit was very good as well
I like the Arkham Game ones - they look both technological and yet not just like a guy wearing spandex or some Diver armour or a Motorcross suit with a cape on top. The integrated wing function makes perfect sense too.
But i'd be interested to see someone have a Batman outfit that looked more cloth like such as Ant Man's costume is. as these days they are mostly armour
all the reasons for the batman dark knight and batman begins suit have functionality that fits with the story. A man cannot fight crime in the previous suit. As classic as the original was, it was not practical which takes away from the ability to convey seriousness. there is a fear when you see your opponent has the advantage over you in functionality. most men would beat up oldschool batman where the new one even with the cowl shows emotion that says i am in no mood! I would genuinely crap my pants if i saw the batman begins batman coming at me if i even get a glimpse at all. it would be asinine to pretend that the original batman was not practical and is merely loved for that one reason of being classic. 5 year comment , but figured i would point that out though the video makes it pretty clear already.
He's a method actor. He somewhat stays in character of whomever he is trying to portray on a current project.
Christopher Nolan batman's batsuits were quite better as the 1st one was intimidating whilst the second one was more manuverable plus in the film the first one had more protection but less manuverablility in the head whilst the second had movement both body and head but more vulnerability
What a fantastic video. I did not realize that this was a fan edit until near the end. I thought it was a real documentary. Great good!!
i wonder how zack synder designed the batsuit for Batman vs Superman: Dawn of justice
He didn't it was Ironhead studios
never really thought about all the costumes but im glad i saw this video
affleck's batsuit and keaton's were the best.
will Grello Nah.. Dark Knight is the best
Val Kilmer's suits looked pretty cool! His first one looked like a better and improved version of Michael Keaton's 1989 suit.
Chris Nolan was the only guy to take the movie seriously
burton, keaton, nolan, bale, ... the men who brought the bat to a wider audience, letting bob kanes dream become true. its just amazing
I am playing Arkham city and I think The batman in the game looks a lot like Ben Affleck.
Christopher Nolan is one of the most precise directors living today so finding even the slightest of plot holes or issue with the movies is like finding that tangerine size gem with Alfred lol when you see the photo of Morgan Freeman showing Bruce Wayne his second Dark Knight series suit, they slipped up and left the Batman logo on the chest of the new suit lol just thought I’d share if anyone is a nitpicker
I despise the Nolan Dark Knight suit as it looks nothing like Batman. The batlogo is tiny and almost invisible. The cowl looks ridiculous. It's obvious Nolan was ashamed and tried to get away from the Bat-theme as far as possible. At least the Burton suit had an impressive stature.
Christian I get what your saying but I kinda liked his, ohh and is your last name bale by any chance?
Christian yes I agree. I always thought of him as too far from the comics and wasn't even batman
I disagree. I think Nolan just went in a different, more practical and realistic direction. As in if Batman was real, what would his suit actually be like? What would it have to be like to function properly and allow Batman to do his job. The answer to that question was never going to be a cape and some tights or a rubber suit.
mrsiCkstar Exactly.
mrsiCkstar but it's still far from the comics. and that's where Nolan failed. making it realistic. what makes batman awesome character is the incredible scenarios he is put in that no other normal human being or even super being can escape. he is more than just a man and frankly I didn't see Nolan's batman even get close to that
The 2nd Nolan Suit, is My Favorite.
That Thing Looks like it Could Really Turn Ya into BatMan!
Good god keel tim burton away from superhero movies.
Keep*
Bale is the shit. "The suit gave me headaches, so i used that to my
advantage." that is a pro.
14:49 is what I came here for. Liked the Burton ones, but Nolan's versions were just awesome. Christopher Nolan's vision of the character and Christian Bale's performance as Batman are what I think of Batman from the moment I first saw Batman Begins and onward with The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. Pure epicness. This is what Bob Kane and Bill Finger envisioned Batman to be. And both of them gave it to us.
actually TDK/Rises cowl is more psychologically dark and an insight to this man's trauma...The way it's shaped/molded makes it look more like some sort of demonic animal but still keeps with the Bat theme, but the point is it shows how the damage is with this guy and just how deep that rage/pain goes and personally the whole costume but especially the cowl further shows that there's that fine line when he's in that suit..How on that edge is he.
It's an edit of 6 documentaries for 6 different films. And anytime you hear something like, Nolan for instance, talking over imagery from a film they weren't involved in, that's my editing.
Saw the Bat boots in Niketown in Chicago. Pretty cool.
Man.. the Returns batsuit.. still the best looking to this day, and worn by the best actor to play the role too.
The progression of costume inside the movie - cool feature almost in every movie there was a progression of upgrade
Brought a tear to my bat-eye
This video proofs that Batman is just as much the costume as the actor portraying the character.
what an incredible piece of artistry. seems in the end to costume really became a useable bat suit! thanks for uploading this, it was awesome!
13:00 "Joel Schumacher is known for putting nipples on the Batsuit, it amazes me that it could have offended as many people as it did"-- Yeah on a suit made to SCARE PEOPLE
13:13 "Bob wanted the blue/black suit on that movie, and in the begining we loved it because it was more like the comics where you get the blue highlight on it, then we found out later it dosn't hide scratches and cuts"-- ITS BODY ARMOR, frigging morons missed the whole point of the suit! I sweare you cant trust Hollywood!
@loafpork The lip licking twitch wasnt part of his performance originally. The make-up was uncomfortable for Heath and Nolan liked the twitch.
the Nolan costume is almost perfect , I like that it looks like something from the league of shadows,, but I do also like how the burton's suite works in the shadows
this is incredible. mad respect. thanks for the upload
Batman Returns, definitely my favorite batsuit.
I like Bale's Cowl on the Dark Knight looks sleeker and not to mention almost all Batsuits in movies don't have a working neck or a free neck space. It would be like wearing a neck-brace while wearing the suit.
What I love, and doesn't get mentioned a lot, is the black version of the sonar suit from Forever. The silvery version in the movie I don't like, but if you watch the funny little Batman skit in Looney Toons Back In Action, you see the sonar suit all black. And it looks kinda awesome. It also appears in black for some early promotional photos and in certain customised toys.
