Taking inspiration from Adam West's costume in the 'Batman' television series (1966-1968). Like, ‘well if you really had (the batsuit) you would have a fly and you’d be able to put it on quite easily.’” “That was one of the things we were thinking about. “We wanted it to feel real,” said Dillon.

His suit is built in tandem with this tale: An angry, inexperienced outsider trying to right the wrongs of the world himself.

Inspired by Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver” (1976), and borrowing heavily from the film noir genre, director Matt Reeves was keen to forge a more realistic version of damaged millionaire Bruce Wayne for his film. “This is the most based-in-reality the Batsuit can be,” said Crossman on the same call, “we removed a lot of the fantasy element.”

He collaborated on the Batnips with lead sculptor Jose Fernandez. I feel really fondly about because of the weird experiment that it felt like.”ĭirector Joel Schumacher took the reins for Batman Forever and Batman & Robin (1997), pushing the franchise in a much campier direction. That represents me in the sense that…that’s how I see things.
