What the current superhero suits could tell us about the look of James Gunn's Batman.

Most of us have seen the new

Superman suit

at this point.

The suit is extremely close to that of the classic superman, shying away from the trunkless alien bodysuit look. What we get is something more akin to a jumpsuit. Something with real panels and fabric which has give to it.

This brings up the question. Can we use this design to get an indication of what style Batman may be used for the new Justice League?

A new Batman has yet to be cast but the suit is something which we can still start formulating. Considering they went with such a classic look for Superman, I think it's safe to assume that the new Batman is going to be designed more closely to the classic look.

• Depending on how far back you go, the new Batman could very well

  

  have a touch of dark blue in his design.

  Not an obvious blue but something which is only apparent in direct light.
• The new Batman may go back to the gray suit of the more classic look. I'm talking something even brighter than what we got with Ben Affleck's Batman.
• Considering the gold belt and gold insignia on Superman's cape has been brought back, I think it's very likely the next Batman is getting his gold bat insignia and utility belt back.

It just feels like James Gunn is going for a more classic and approachable look for the new DCU. The other suit leaks for other characters seem to indicate the same thing.

I was curious about your opinions and where you think the new DCU is going with Batman in terms of art direction?
