First look at new Bat-suit from the Justice League movie!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been waiting with baited breathe to see the new gadgets and gizmos Ben Affleck’s Batman will have in Justice League. Fortunately, the wait is over! Mr. Zack Snyder himself gave us our very first glimpse of “The Dark Knight” rocking his new threads via Twitter!

So let’s break down what we’re seeing here. First off, it looks like Bruce has put aside the the thin fabric from Batman v. Superman in favor of a more formidable body armor. There is a distinct resemblance to Christian Bale’s bat-suit from the Nolan films. He seems to be covered in a number of plates that are spaced out to allow for mobility. But at the same time he’s still got the classic “thick-necked” cowl which I’ve always loved! That combination of thick neck and shoulders just makes the Bat so much more intimidating and imposing!
It’s difficult to tell with the dim lighting, but it looks like they’ve made some adjustments to the ears and overall shape of the cowl. This combined with the goggles totally reminded me of Nite Owl from The Watchmen. But hey, if he’s still able to beat up bad guys with the same Affleck intensity that we saw before, then I’m on board!
To the left we can also see that he seems to be activating some sort of switch. The fact that he’s standing next to what is clearly the Batmobile indicates that we might get a new design for the car as well! Although I was pretty happy with what they did with the Batmobile in BvS, I have no problem with adding some upgrades. Which would make sense considering Batman is planning to take on an impending global threat that he alone won’t be able to handle.
So overall, I’m stoked! This is a great start for this new direction in the DC Cinematic Universe. We’ve seen some cool stuff in the Justice League trailer. But this is the first shot of Batman in his new Tactical Gear! Hopefully this is the real deal and not just a dream sequence!
Are you as pumped as us to see Justice League when it hits theaters 11/16/17?!
