Thanks for your reply Mr Hughes! I'm glad you approve. What don't you like about Nolan's Batman? Personally I think Christian Bale does a good job, though his "Batman voice" is rather overdone and gets annoying. Or is it only the costume you don't like?

I just don't like the costume. The voice IS overdone, I agree; it was used better in BATMAN BEGINS.
I don't like how bulky the batsuit is. Batman looks like a football player. And I hate how the mask squishes Bale's face and covers his nostrils. It makes him gasp for breath, and it's hard to take Batman seriously when he's a mouth-breather.

"it's hard to take Batman seriously when he's a mouth-breather"

*bursts out laughing* I will never, EVER be able to unsee that. And now I will never be able to take Batman seriously again either, or at least not Nolan's Batman. Seriously, it's going to be in the back of my mind every time I see one of Nolan's Batman movies. Batman-the-mouth-breather. ROTFL!

I can tell why you're the artist here and not me though, because I would NEVER have noticed all of those details about the Nolanverse Batsuit. To me it always looked normal. But now that you point it out, yeah, I totally see that. I hope you'll like Catwoman's castume! I wish you were designing it.

Really? I thought everyone could notice that Christian Bale looked like he was trying to act through a knot-hole in a picket fence, and that he couldn't complete long sentences without gasping for air.
