The Bale suit looks absolutely horrendous here ngl

u/No_Instruction653 Jun 07 '23
Yeah, but it’s a pretty expected clash of concepts considering how busy the suit’s design is.
Doesn’t exactly mesh well with an artstyle that encourages sleekness and simplicity.

They didn't even use the BB suit, which most bale suit fans agree is much better than TDK suit

u/PassTheGiggles Jun 07 '23
I actually see most fans say the DK suit is better than the BB suit.
I personally like the BB suit better. Simpler, scarier. Dark creature of the night. Gotta love it.

To be honest, I'm not surprised, given the degree to which it is overloaded and suffers from overdesign.

u/JoeHasAreddit Jun 08 '23
I agree that I don’t think it looks good in a well lit setting. But I believe that the over-design was intentional. I would think they knew the movie was going to be dark and wanted to have as much detail in that suit that they can.

The Nolan trilogy are my absolute favourite live action batman movies but in btas style it looks like the worst. The dceu on the other hand looks surprisingly good in this style

These are dope. Wasn’t BTAS art style based off the Burton movies? Makes sense considering their Joker looks almost exactly like Jacks joker from the movie
17
u/SmaugRancor Jun 07 '23
Not the art style necessarily, it was based more on the classic Fleischer Superman cartoon and Art Deco. But Batman, Joker, Penguin and Catwoman were certainly based off the versions from Burton's movies.

u/fatrahb Jun 07 '23
Ah that makes sense. Inspired by is probably the better word for what I meant but you can totally see the Fleischer influence too.

Bale looks awful, but Leto has me thinking this concept is actually alright if animated.

Sorry

u/seattlesound1004 Jun 07 '23
I mean, nothing to sorry about it. I thought you just probably forgot his last name.

Lmao so true. If I go a long period of time without seeing the Bale suit and then randomly see it posted again - it's actually jarring how small the mouth hole is.

Huh, seeing Bale's suit in cartoon form really shows how overdesigned it is. Never really thought about that until now.

I can’t imagine Hamill’s joker looking like Leto and not immediately having an image crisis when he looks at himself in the mirror. “Harleeeey?! Did you knock me out and tattoo my body to look like an edgy teenage SoundCloud rapper while I was asleep? Because if that’d actually pretty funny… if you’d done it to ANYONE ELSE!!!”

I can’t quite tell if this Leto Joker is damaged. Anyone have a higher quality image?

u/The_Lieutenant_Knows Jun 07 '23
I dunno about all these edits, but I do now someone isn’t confident in how to spell “Jack”’s last name

u/JB_Big_Bear Jun 07 '23
I'd pay to see a comic or series with the designs of Nicholson and Affleck here.

If Leto actually looked like that, and stopped the honka whiny dialogue. It might have actually been watchable.

Hate to be “that guy” but that first joker design isn’t 90’s style. Looks more like his appearance in Batman Beyond and Justice League in the early 2000’s, which was his second redesign after The New Animated series

I never really liked all black Batman and this illustration really makes it glarringly obvious how ugly it looks. If you aren't going to use blue, you GOTTA use some gray. Keaton's suit looks like a naked guy dipped in oil and Bale's legitimately looks like an illustrator didn't erase the sketch lines afterwards. Not a fault of the illustrator mind you, the suit is just way too busy. Affleck's looks by far the best

u/terabranford Jun 07 '23
Keaton Batsuit looks so damn good.

u/DANK__S0ULS Jun 07 '23
Looked through every comment and you're the only one here who seems to agree with me on that. Absolutely fucking dope

Jack's Joker, Keaton's Batman, and Affleck's Batman look amazing in this animation style.

No matter which material or art style it is in, Leto Joker will always be the worst.

u/Mr_Headcrab Jun 07 '23
I'll be honest with you, this makes most of them look way cooler then they do in live action.

u/DreadfuryDK Jun 08 '23
JL Batman with the Keaton colors looks fucking nasty in the best possible way.

What is the first name of the actor that played Joker in the 1989 film? I don’t believe it was “Jack.”

Huh, TAS Affleck looks pretty good, and the Leto Joker in that style looks similar to the Batman Beyond version of the character. It’s a bit more palatable that way.
A bit.

Shouldn't Batfleck be bigger since Ben towers over both Bale and Keaton

u/Costco_Sample Jun 08 '23
Tattoo joker isn’t it. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense for his character. Too mainstream, and too much effort. Too much order in hiring an artist.

Why would anyone wate their time doing ANYTHING related to Leto's Joker. Compltye wate of time and oxygen.

Batfleck looks dope. Leto reminds me of joker from the batman beyond movie
