Batman Tactical Suit

Director Zack Snyder has revealed Batman’s tactical Batsuit!

We think it looks great, although the goggles did throw us a bit. Yes, it looks like Watchmen’s Night Owl, but we think he is only wearing these because he is building something. We know from Batman v Superman that this Batman is very hands on with his tactical gear.

The image shows Affleck in the new suit, standing next to a Batmobile that is being showered in sparks. It looks like he’s in the Batcave, or perhaps a new vehicle that was revealed to us earlier called the Flying Fox. He’s pulling down a lever with the Waynetech logo on it.

It definitely looks like it may also be the same setting where we saw the quick Deathstroke teaser, so we’ll have to wait and see.

Costume designer Michael Wilkinson had this to say to Comic Book.com

“So in the final chapter of our film, Batman realizes he has to step up his game a little bit and he and Alfred have been working on developing a suit that’s even more protective and offers more deflection than the classic suit,” Michael Wilkinson said, “So in a sense, it’s piece of armor.

“So you can see the classic suit underneath, but on top are straps and layers of the carbon fiber, strengthening armor plates, he’s got sort of a leather layer upon here that he is strapping all over his plates onto the wrapping around his body and offering just a little more protection than the old. He’s also going to get a new cowl with some new tech details and that gives him even more protection. We’re going to do some goggles for him, a new tech cape made out of our carbon fiber weave.”

Wilkinson also said the goggles are for a specific purpose: for Batman to wear for a special occasion.

“We liked the way that they catch the light and give that classic image from the comic books. But he’ll also be piloting a new vehicle that he will need these goggles for,” Wilkinson revealed.
