I like goggles batman

I also like his line about not needing to recognize the world to save it. Coming from bats it's a decent verbalization of his emotional change.

"evoke" implies a thematic or nuanced similarity. the stupid shades are wholesale copy+pasted without any attempt to fit it properly onto the face



they're styled as if they're supposed to "evoke" gas station Oakley ripoffs.... on what planet does this look good?

I think you'll find that Guyver is the Japanese Venom. :colbert:

(Spider-Man got the symbiote suit in May 1984, Bio Booster Armor Guyver debuted Feb 1985.)

Spider-Man got the symbiote suit then, but Eddie Brock as Venom didn't properly appear until 1988 with ASM #300, and the Guyver comparison only really works for Brock.

That looks stupid. The goggles also look stupid. CGI Deadpool eyes would probably look better than either, but still kinda stupid.

Well, when Nite Owl wears them they have all the connotations that gas station Oakley rip-offs bring: he's a boring, middle class early retiree who gets off on having a souped-up car but isn't rich enough to buy real brand sunglasses.

For Batman, it's a departure from his BvS look, which was decidedly inhuman:



He's moved to looking like Nite Owl, probably because in a lineup of superhumans he's going to be struggling to keep up.



Notably, the shades are serve the practical purpose of covering up the eyebrows on his cowl, which are fixed in a permanent sneer:



The glowing blue eyes are used in both The Dark Knight and BvS to imply a Batman who has gone too far and is losing touch with his ethics. I know they were in everyone's favourite cartoon, but in real life they look really friggin' evil. They'd be a weird choice for a film where Batman is becoming a hero.

So...cool poochie batman gets sweet shades and now he's all down with being a hero? Because otherwise his brows are scowling....except the glasses are a permanent V shape that accomplishes the exact thing its supposed to be covering up? I don't know about that... It's way more likely they were forced to be included by a hack who wanted to reference his previous work, to the detriment of the production.

I raise you:



Also, I can't remember if someone here pointed it out or elsewhere, but the Bat-computer in The Dark Knight has the form of a comic strip/storyboard.

You could say a lot of things about this look, but it's certainly not intimidating:

As much as I like red/blue lasers shooting into the sky I hope that The Batman is more of a grounded film without some world ending problem. If it's a prequel, and it's leading up the JL it can help to show why Batman's brain is broken, since he's used to dealing with street level gangs, and now he's suddenly fighting space aliens that fly.

Nope.

Goons already know everything about these characters already and know their motivations. Seeing them portrayed on screen in ways that make sense is soooo boring.
