With every new Batman installment, The Dark Knight’s outfit has seen a variety of changes. As such, fans always look forward to seeing which costumes get used – and whether or not the comics are looked at as inspiration in the process. Justice League was no different for fans, who as always expected to see some new costumes for Batman.
What’s especially special with Affleck’s appearances thus far, however, is that he’s worn multiple outfits per movie. And in Justice League he gets to wear a new tactical suit that offers armored protection without the bulkiness of his mech suit from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Very nice.
And now, if you’ve ever wondered about the design process that went into creating the tactical suit, concept artist Jerad S. Marantz has shared some concept art on his Instagram:
Here’s what he had to say about the images:
“Always an honor to work on a bat suit. I had an incredible time working for costume designer @michaelwilkinson in London with the amazing crew at #warnerbros#leavesdenstudios.”
As you can see it still resembles what we got in the film pretty closely, but it’s an interesting behind the scenes look nevertheless.
In the film…
Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes — Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.
Justice League is currently playing in theaters.
