Description
I don't play video games (other than iphone games and Nintendo stuff, haha), but I've always loved the look of Arkham Asylum and Arkham City (for those of you who don't follow , who does character designs for the games...correct your mistake right now). I've always said "I wish they would just make a movie, so I could watch it without having to play the game". Well, imagine my surprise when I found out that people have actually put the cut scenes together into a movie and posted it on Youtube! Now, I'm totally obsessed with watching these things, and I was inspired to do a little concept painting of a redesigned Bats.More DC redesigns:

Yeah, I like a lot of your ideas for smaller changes. Esp the idea of an illuminated bat emblem that can be turned off.
When would he turn it on? To serve as a beacon for people in a crisis?

Hey, now that's a poetic idea!Β I was just thinking that he'd use it like a flashlight, to investigate dark crime scenes and such.

Apart from the cape length, this is the batman costume I would live to see being canon as one of the current universe's Batman's costumes.

This. Is. Awesome. I love the look of the suit! I love the 'ridiculously' long cape! Lol. I love batman when he has a long cape. I love the illuminated symbol.

Batman is not only my favorite super-hero if not my favorite thing in general. When I see re-designs of the character I get too judgmental and I don't say good words usually. But I think I like yours, the cowl looks inspired by ancient warrior helmets, the shoulders look cool all pointy like count dracula's and the logo is classic (you can never go wrong using the classic logo) Also no underpants!

Well thanks, man! I definitely believe that any attempt to revamp Bats should be done with the utmost reverence for his classic look.

Awesome concept for Batman. New but still faithful at the same time

I wouldn't have it any other way!

Awesome redesign! I can see this as the suit Tim Drake would use once he becomes Batman, it feels like it evolved from his Red Robin costume (pre-New52 of course ^^). Love the asymmetric belt too.

I can definitely see that! There was definitely some influence from the Red Robin costume...and, admittedly, a little bit of Skeletor's influence (as a He-man fanatic, I just can't help it). I'm actually working up a look for Tim right now! I was planning on re-designing the entire bat family, but I don't think that's going to happen at this point.

Would love to see you complete the big 7 JLA members, you already have GL, Superman, Flash and Bats.
And I can see the Skeletor cape harness, kinda like what he had in the 200x series, big fan of MotU here too ^^

I love the shape of the mask in general, the ears are really nice and the small mouth opening is a good idea I'm surprised isn't done more. Nice work! I also see him using the symbol light to blind enemies, or maybe it has a strobe light feature which makes me think of the scene from Kick Ass

Heheh, that would be pretty cool

I always draw Batman with a huge cape that makes absolutely no practical sense, hahaha. I just think it looks cool.

It's really cool ! And Batman without cape is not Batman.

You definitely need to do more of these with the info stuff around the character
π: 0 β©: 1
I might just do that! This is only the second or third piece where I've actually included the design notes, and people do seem to like it.

too true, it adds a cool look to it

Sweet redesign. I love looking at other peoples concept art. It always seems to get me stimulated. I dig the functional practicality of this concept.

Thanks, man! Yeah, concept art is my favorite stuff, too. I love seeing other people's ideas and what they think about certain characters.
