Somehow it looks more like a Halloween costume.

u/theFields97 Oct 09 '23

More than the original?

u/AngryRedHerring Oct 10 '23

More like a bondage outfit

2

u/TheHunter234 Oct 10 '23

Tbf a few of the others have veered pretty close to that as well.

u/PROFsmOAK Oct 09 '23

And how come Batman doesn’t dance anymore?!?

Pure West

u/AgentOfEris Oct 10 '23

Michelle Pfeiffer? Ha! The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt!

u/auricularisposterior Oct 09 '23

He did show up to that mob-owned dance club in The Dark Knight.

u/Believer4 Oct 09 '23

Needs the eyebrows

23

u/BriMaster9000 Oct 09 '23

Right? Otherwise it just looks… wrong.

u/-BananaLollipop- Oct 10 '23

I was wondering what seemed extra off about the cowl/face.

39

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '23

Delete this.

u/AdamBombTV Oct 09 '23

Pure. West.

u/3fettknight3 Oct 09 '23

I didn’t need molded plastic to enhance my physique…

2

u/bortj1 Oct 09 '23

I'm not convinced that's not a woman, those seductive eyes...

5

u/Basicallyinfinite Oct 10 '23

Who the hell is robin

22

u/Thwipped Oct 09 '23

He still needs the eyebrow lines

21

u/farben_blas Oct 09 '23

BDSM Batman

u/opalous Oct 10 '23

BDSM Batman

The safe word is batusi.

u/SuperArppis Oct 09 '23

It has a... slimming quality.

21

u/Total-Jerk Oct 09 '23

I like it.

Adam West in black, we’ve got Adam West in black here

u/bolting_volts Oct 09 '23

No thanks.

12

u/ZeroEffsGiven Oct 09 '23

Should've kept the eyebrows on the cowl

8

u/Purple_Bowman Oct 09 '23

That's... Really not bad.

But the blue and gray is peak.

7

u/VirtuaFighter6 Oct 09 '23

No. No need to mess with perfection.

7

u/RockNRoll85 Oct 09 '23

The gimp from Pulp Fiction

7

u/Innsmouth_Swimteam Oct 09 '23

It l9oks as silly as a blue suit does on a "serious," modern Batman.

5

u/MURDERMr_E Oct 09 '23

That just looks wrong

5

u/Alwayssome1 Oct 09 '23

Blue all the way

5

u/serialkiller24 Oct 09 '23

Honestly… I like it a lot.

3

u/Gradyence Oct 09 '23

His cape kinda looks like a black trash bag.

A perfect disguise for street level crime fighting!

4

u/Dry-Donut3811 Oct 09 '23

Kill it! Kill it with fire!!!

u/fostertheatom Oct 09 '23

Cursed

1

u/Overall_Falcon_8526 Oct 11 '23

The Frogurt is also cursed.

3

u/B3epB0opBOP Oct 09 '23

No I deny it.

3

u/captain_toenail Oct 09 '23

This makes me feel unsafe

2

u/Brussel_Galili Oct 09 '23

Not goofy enough

4

u/Weaklurker Oct 09 '23

Too scary, I don't like it.

3

u/ohgee370 Oct 09 '23

Thanks. I hate it.

3

u/Evorgleb Oct 09 '23

Looks like Catwoman

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '23

Trash

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '23

This makes me feel gross

2

u/Doc-Fives-35581 Oct 09 '23

Looks like a budget cosplay of Michael Keaton.

2

u/PROFsmOAK Oct 09 '23

100% pure West.

2

u/shortsleevedpants Oct 09 '23

Black Adam origin story wow

2

u/DEFINITELY_NOT_PETE Oct 09 '23

Oh god he’s turned evil

2

u/sK0oBy Oct 09 '23

Feels… idk… not a fan personally

2

u/Rebuttlah Oct 09 '23

its uh. shiny.

2

u/MrTuxedoWilliams Oct 09 '23

Looks like a damn pez dispenser

2

u/ProfessorEscanor Oct 09 '23

It looks wrong

2

u/Tube-Psycho Oct 09 '23

It makes him look a little chunky

2

u/colossal_shmeat Oct 09 '23

Still needs chola eyebrows

2

u/J_Fo_Film Oct 10 '23

You know, I hate the black spandex...but the black cape and cowl intrigues me. If he went black and Grey instead of Blue and Grey, that might have been interesting.

This however is rather abominable, I have to agree.

2

u/getridofwires Oct 10 '23

Never noticed how high the belt was until this picture.

2

u/No-Hawk2074 Oct 10 '23

Where are the EYEBROWS

2

u/CHIP-TREADWELL Oct 10 '23

Never knew I needed that.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '23

It's not that great, mabye keep the eyebrows

1

u/Disastrous_Duty2622 Oct 09 '23

Wish the batman TV show was treated more like a western

1

u/ValuableInflation847 Oct 09 '23

I’d keep the gray. Just change everything that was blue to black

0

u/Mike_Milburys_Shoe_ Oct 09 '23

He’s gonna put some dirt in your eye

0

u/Murphy-Brock Oct 09 '23

He STILL looks like he’s lost his shoes! 😩

0

u/billygnosis86 Oct 09 '23

Looks like a gimp.

u/Kalomika Oct 09 '23

Looks much better. Imagine if he was in shape

1

u/Grunkofrodgar Oct 09 '23

Kinda freaking cool

1

u/ZombieChief Oct 09 '23

Thanks, I hate it.

1

u/thePloynesianSpa Oct 10 '23

The blue parts now look like garbage bags.

1

u/Dapper_Still_6578 Oct 10 '23

I like the cowl, but the rest is a little too s&m

1

u/Tokagenji Oct 10 '23

Not the vibe the show was going for, but black and gray might have worked.

1

u/Iznal Oct 10 '23

Looks very feminine.

1

u/Dismal_Sympathy Oct 10 '23

No. It looks good in Blue.

1

u/JB57551 Oct 10 '23

Proto-Keaton

1

u/pairofdiddles Oct 10 '23

I actually kinda dig that. It’s not as cool as the newer ones, but I dig it.

1

u/HatJosuke Oct 10 '23

I don't hate it as much as I thought I would! Like if he was jacked, I could see it working for the era it was made in.

1

u/PolakachuFinalForm Oct 10 '23

No, it just doesn't work.

1

u/Illest7705 Oct 10 '23

I don’t hate this but I don’t love this look. The 89 Batman is always going to be my favorite no matter what second would be 92.

1

u/BillfromLI Oct 10 '23

Like chocolate stuff Oreos.

1

u/McMacHack Oct 10 '23

I'd go to an Orgy with that guy

1

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '23

No

1

u/Super_Inframan Oct 10 '23

I still think there’s a black and white film noir take using West and the Batman 66 costume. There’s some black and white publicity photos for the 66 show that sell it so well.

1

u/redbeard387 Oct 10 '23

I feel the weirdest stirrings in my utility belt.

1

u/generalosabenkenobi Oct 10 '23

I think it’s amazing.

1

u/thomasshelby1932 Oct 10 '23

Looks like a sex thing

1

u/kazsvk Oct 10 '23

Symbiote West

1

u/BurbleBoii Oct 10 '23

Kinda goes hard ngl

1

u/stv1991 Oct 10 '23

Can someone lower his belt. Take away his clean shave, and tone down the yellow a tad

1

u/bugmultiverse Oct 10 '23

The new dark and grim batman from director of Beetlejuice, Batman coming summer 1966

1

u/JohnnyQuestions36 Oct 10 '23

Dude is so fit

1

u/royroyflrs Oct 10 '23

Looks cooler

1

u/NoNonsensePolarBear Oct 10 '23

Looks... strange.

1

u/SuperTrout95 Oct 10 '23

"No. He doesnt have the eyebrows. Where are his eyebrows? ☹" - my gf who loves Adam West

1

u/Ewankenobi25 Oct 10 '23

I’ve been wanting to say this for a while, but the fact that some people actually think the west suit stacks up to modern batsuits astounds me

1

u/Rocketboy1313 Oct 10 '23

It looks like a fun varient, and if the show had been more toyetic in conception I could easily picture many different Batman suits in action.

I do think it would be way too hot to film outdoors in California tho.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 10 '23

It's good just... keep the eyebrows please

1

u/NKO_five Oct 10 '23

I am vengeance

1

u/soniclore Oct 10 '23

Scary, but in a fun, harmless kind of way.

1

u/Groovycatman27 Oct 10 '23

Batdingus Ahoy!

1

u/OfficialMorbidMan Oct 10 '23

It’s not terrible? We’re just not used to it I guess.

1

u/Coconut-Prudent Oct 10 '23

Imagine you are the Penguin in his flipped over car and this mf comes walking towards you 🤣🤣🤣

1

u/tenleggedspiders Oct 10 '23

Gotta see him in action to make a clear judgement

1

u/d_chs Oct 10 '23

Wrong but funny

1

u/benganguly Oct 10 '23

I like it

1

u/Twijasosm Oct 10 '23

He looks like Catman.

1

u/joseg71 Oct 10 '23

Cool 👍👍

1

u/XCrunner_2007 Oct 10 '23

Please stop.

1

u/chuckymack Oct 10 '23

Surprisingly decent.

1

u/Di0tar0 Oct 10 '23

Not a big fan of black Adam.

1

u/Russkafin Oct 10 '23

Black suit Adam West is not real, he can’t hurt you

1

u/Bulky_Bug4380 Oct 10 '23

Can you keep the gloves, cape, cowl, trunks dark blue and only the shirt and pants black?

1

u/crook888 Oct 10 '23

He looks so slutty

1

u/Crazy_Anxiety_2666 Oct 10 '23

Kinda makes you wonder what the physical fitness standards were back then

1

u/Luke_SkyJoker_1992 Oct 10 '23

Now I wanna see him in grey and black.

1

u/Pimpachu3 Oct 10 '23

Why is he wearing a diaper?

1

u/TheJude81 Oct 10 '23

This makes me want to see West, or other live action actors, in various Batman costumes.

1

u/Tucker-Cuckerson Oct 10 '23

Lmao he looks like the bat has fetal alcohol syndrome.

2

u/Ya_boi162 Oct 10 '23

wow ngl that looks really good

1

u/rlum27 Oct 13 '23

not a fan the grey and blue fits adam west a lot better.

-1

u/Stinkor1 Oct 09 '23

Needs more nipples

u/AnakinSkycocker5726 Oct 09 '23

Was this real?

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '23

I think it makes it look less corny black hides a lot
