The Screen-Used Batsuits- A Mini Documentary

[@brayansolis2214]

That Batfleck suit looks so beautiful mere perfection

[@DarioDarrow]

This has better production than any official Bat suit video I've seen! 🙌 also....melty Bat cawls are pretty creepy 😆

[@zalabit927]

It's like haunted cowls looking for a new wearer to stick with and lecch out their souls before they decay💀

[@TobyWild]

Long time viewer here Chris. This video is amazing. It wouldn't look out of place in the middle of a travel show, or playing in the queue area for people coming in. Absolutely SMASHED it!

[@darthgoku90]

Michael Keaton's Batsuits (and Batmobile) will always be my favorite. I'm well aware they're not very functional compared to later Batman movie costumes, but they still have the best color scheme in my book.

[@JDoe-gf5oz]

Best Batmobile but Kilmer's black suit was better (minus the nipples).

[@darthgoku90]

@@JDoe-gf5oz Well then you might as well go with Keaton's Batsuit from the Flash since that's pretty much the same as Val Kilmer's costume minus the nipples (and the rest of the torso design). I think the idea behind it was that it was what Keaton would've worn had he been in Batman Forever (and Tim Burton directed it).

[@SSJPENGUIN]

I'm sure I read an article which stated Ironhead didn't come back for Justice League because the studio forgot to credit them for Dawn of Justice💔

[@whuuuut2035]

You always show your admiration and love for all things costumes, all things creative, and of course all things Batman. You're just overflowing with love and knowledge here and it's so infectious 😀

[@YoungPilot11]

Though Kilmer and Clooney’s suits aren’t my favorite of all the suits they are beautiful to look at those suits are amazing works of art

[@hOtneO]

But I have to say, my favorite is the Batman Begins and to prove how it works in the real world in normal lighting conditions, the video of Batman going into a market and buying loo rolls and milk, and being followed by phone paparazzi's and getting the Bat-bird flipped at them is Epic. That parachute cape with flocked velvet texture and that wide panther neck has the perfect Batman outline, Lindy Hemming killed it!

[@mr.momcollectibles]

I had the chance to interview Carl Newman who was Michael Keatons movement double for 11 weeks on Batman 1989 was in so many of the key shots we see in the film. It was amazing listening to his stories of being in that 89 Batsuit it was truly a special time! Great video this was amazing to watch!

[@SquirtleBoy87]

DUDE, Didn't know you had this channel until you walked on scene and I immediately liked and subbed!

[@REaDComicsau]

This is definitely one of the greatest videos you’ve ever done! I love the style and quality of it. Movie World is the best!

[@franzmiguel8971]

I got to see these suits at WB studio tour back in March but not the Kilmer or Clooney ones. I do wish these exhibits had the Begins and JL standard suit too. Seeing BVS in person though is amazing!

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

that was a great mini documentary, would love to see more

[@martinwhipkey9343]

Love it! Great suits! The craftsmanship...amazing.

[@mckenan3578]

Amazing doc! Love the respect for Ben’s Batman!

[@paulloughlin3732]

Awesome video, one of the best bat suit tours I've watched. From a fan for fans! (I completely forgot about your second channel here till the algorithm suggested it for me!) I love your note when it came to the Bale suit from TDK being housed in a vault from TDKR! I was thinking, hang on a sec, that's from TDKR! Favorite Batsuit for me has to be Affleck's, he's also my favorite Batman and Bruce Wayne and Jeremy Irons is my favorite Alfred.

[@luxxemedia]

Incredible video! Loved seeing all the suits together, well done Chris and Josh you both killed it!!

[@GrandJediMaster7860]

33 year old me is very happy that you got to experience this - I love your Cosplay channel too. 🙂 Realised that the Forever panther suit, Begins Batsuit and Pattinson's aren't there. I really like Bale's Batman Begins Batsuit. I remember seeing that online and in magazines when I was 14; when the movie came out in summer 2005, 15 year old me loved everything about it 👌🏼 Overall the Begins suit is my favourite, Keaton's Batman Returns suit comes a close second - it's a tie after that between Pattinson's and Affleck's main BvS suit.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Fantastic job. Especially when you consider these things seem like they weren't built to last. When I had the chance to buy Hollywood memorabilia I passed. There's upkeep, storage and more importantly maintenance 😂🎉

[@99GregPotter]

This is fantastic! Great work as always!

[@invest423]

Thank you for the tour. Loved it

[@TheDrexLord]

As usually, the 66 suit is forgotten

[@akshaytrayner1960]

It’s only movies not tv show

[@Joseph-oo7pp]

@@akshaytrayner1960there was a theatrically released movie in ‘66 starring the cast of the show.

[@boatwithwheels]

​@williamseneyjr.6277 that's not true at all, everyone appreciates 1966, we just don't talk about it cause it'd make no sense comparing it to anything past 1989. It's like a grandpa and the rest are your uncles

[@a-10warthog12]

@@williamseneyjr.6277I always remember that Batman

[@FinalConsensus]

Nothing special about the 66 pajamas my friend

[@Bren0780K]

I went up to Movie World for Frightfest last year and was looking forward to seeing this exhibition. Unfortunately the exhibition was closed, so thank you so much for this mini documentary 👍

[@quentinbower]

This was amazing to watch! Thanks for making this video and putting all the effort into it. It was like watching the shadow of the bat documentary

[@RXNRMDN]

Batman & Robin was my jam as well as a kid. Whenever people bash it, I always bring up that it was a great movie for kids.

[@anthonydiaz4111]

wow this video has such great production i thought it was official !

[@TheDeadWax]

Great video as always, Chris!

[@SebbyClemens]

Loved this video Chris! Always a pleasure hearing you speak on the batsuits so it was sick to have you next to the actual suits when talking about them! Killed it💪🏼

[@RiseBeneath]

This is your second channel I had no idea cosplay Chris. Awesome job! I was born 26 years ago in 96. I turn 27 next month. My brother died 2 months ago. He was 34. When Batman & Robin came out he got the soundtrack on CD for his portable CD player. I remember the first time he let me listen to it. I had to of been 2 or 3. Ever since batman has been a big part of my life. Much love brother. Keep doin what you're doin. Stay safe and always watch out for cars. Especially semi trucks!

[@Woah_Look]

This actually made me appreciate the Batfleck suit. I never paid much attention to it because of how much I hated the movies. But it is truly amazing. Especially the one piece cowl being able to turn at the neck.

[@MikeB-rb7nk]

The fact that Batfleck is your favorite just earned your video a thumbs up from me. He’s also my favorite Batman and Bruce Wayne as well.

[@louisvlleguy]

The Batfleck suit will always be my favorite.

[@JDoe-gf5oz]

Dude looked like an old penis.

[@vladislavpantic]

Thank you, Chris! You did a great job here!:)

[@straybeans6561]

Nolan really capitalised on that new mobility with his amazing action scenes

[@angelocanale8102]

Jose also done the Returns cowl. Which is my personal fav suit and cowl. It’s a shame that this suit is mostly overlooked when the 89 suit is near by almost like they are the same when in fact they are very very different.

[@thefonzkiss]

Returns is clearly the best one. 89 cowl is too thick and bulky.

[@multirevelator]

thought was Steve Wang

[@db5627]

Agree, vals batsuit is also one of my favorites. Also really liked bales begins suits. Liked it more than the others. But i believe bens suit is the most comic accurate and is the best hands down.

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

Great video, really lucky you got so close to the suits. Just a slight shame the display is so dark, holy artifacting Batman!

[@harleybliss6060]

Epic! Video! ❤❤😮 my personal favs are the kilmer Panther batsuit and the bvs batfleck suit ❤

[@jaygee7508]

Hey man! Good-ass video! I love this format!

[@carlnewman5448]

Great work Chris, beautifully put together and your passion shines through. Feel blessed, that you included my still with Bob Ringwood. Taken by David Gamble for ‘Life Magazine’.

[@ZednelemX]

Have any original panther suits survived? I feel like that one is never on display and it's such a great suit as well as Clooney first suit

[@LordVampire797]

Awesome documentary. Thanks KZbin recommendations

[@blackphillip8486]

What a killer f'n video. The decaying cowls were giving me 00's "The Ring" vibes. 😅

[@Ogdazee]

Great video but the batman is my favorite suit. Rob’s eyes and open chin cowl is perfect.

[@Herosthroe]

Two things that blew my mind when seeing those costumes with my own eyes; How small Keaton's Batsuit is, and how huge Val Kilmer's Sonar suit is! Nice to see the Batfleck love! His suit is glorious! Such a great video, thanks! 🤟🏻

[@martyguy8185]

LOVE the sonar batsuit. I agree.....highly underrated

[@HappyCreativeStuff]

Chris, your content is astounding as always. Your passion for this stuff shines through.

[@Harri927]

the Batman Returns suit is my favorite Batsuit of all time.

[@petermot645]

Batman Returns suit does it for me. Great video !

[@hOtneO]

When you look at the Batman suits from Keaton to Bale, it's all "action figure" inspired and stiff like "iron-man" but when they finally got to Affleck, they took a bold chance at going in a different direction from rubber suit to cloth like material. And it shows this is a Batman who is not guarded and more experience, and just the figure standing looks so imposing like Jim Lee's Batman come to life. They nailed it with Affleck's suit as the most comic book accurate Batman suit going back to fabric and not some rubber coffin that actor's are sweating under the hot lights. Then they went back to the stiff rubber suit for Pattison in The Batman and I get how it's only his 2nd year as a crime fighter and he put it together himself. But it shows that what Affleck had in that suit was really special, only him and Adam West got the fabric suits where they could do their fight scenes and move with as much freedom as possible.

[@BatmanOfRI]

I’d love to see the mechanism inside Affleck’s cowl. Great video!! 🦇🤘🏼

[@StrmTroopToys]

Great video Chris. Very informative. My favorite is Michael Keaton and the Batman Returns Bat Suit 😊

[@Strato13]

The '89 OG Keaton suit still the best one.

[@tguncreations0403]

Amazing documentary!! Really wish I was able to go to see it myself as I’d especially love to see the Bale and Kilmer displays in person! 😍

[@Eightminusfive]

such a fantastic video, thanks Chris

[@Frank_Riker]

Love these videos. It appears the 2 channels you setup is working.

[@coreybethea5237]

You did a great job Chris. My favorites are Keaton, val, bale , and Affleck

[@spkoftdvl]

This video is amazing, love your passion talking about this suits. I would love to see another video in this same quality but with another superheroes suits (Spiderman for example, or Xmen).

[@krankx6339]

I'd have to say that the Micheal Keaton 89 suit is my all time favorite ,also this was an awesome documentary Chris very informative and I bet you were just over the moon with that experience thanks for sharing it tho man I enjoyed the show

[@Plumtree1187]

it is a shame we never got a good batman movie out of that batfleck suit

[@johnbest1978]

Great minidoc Chris. My favorite Batman is Ben Affleck I just love how he looks in the Batsuit reminds me of the animated movie The Dark Knight Returns.

[@bearingcee]

The tri tail bat symbol on the 89 suit was missed in the Flash movie. I seriously wanted it to be there. I know it was a different suit but that small detail would have made it incredible.

[@tahuaroa]

great work & presentation… how does this channel not have more subs?

[@geekerman8658]

Real ones recognize Ben Affleck as the best live-action version of Batman so far. Great work on documentary

[@z0m813]

Man I have highly enjoyed this video you should def do more

[@cpl.barbarusc4814]

For me is the 1989/1992 Keaton batsuits, honorable mention for the sonar suit since it was used on by Christian Bale and Cillian Murphy in the screen test. The first 2 Batfleck suits are amazing, I only wish had Afflecks height since I think is onenof the few cowls I can see myself putting into. I love the Bale from Dark Knight and Rises, as well as the Battinson one for adapting the grapple gun into the gauntlets, alongside the hidden batarang in the chest. Also, damn from Cosplay tutorials and later on itno this awesome documentary, that's quite an achievement, congrats dude. 😉 These are my top questions, 1: Which is your favorite videogame Batsuit from the Arkham games? 2: Which batmobile would you definitely drive around? ( I also incluse the animated and the Arkham ones) and if you could choose any piece of every Batsuit from every live action film ever made, which are the ones you will use to put together your definitive custom batsuit? Cosplay Chris style. Kind of like the Savini Jason design for Batman suits.

[@imaner76]

Welcome to prime time bit*h! What an awesome production. You make a great host! thank you for this!

[@garyburke]

[@cory5197]

I never knew that Kilmer’s suit was called the Panther. Interesting!

[@simoncurran6184]

I loved batman returns armour abs. I remember hating the batman 89 promotional suit the way the Cape folded on the shoulders to make huge shoulder pads. I'm 40 years old. And was a batman fan from batman 66. It was THIS year when I realised that suit I hated so much WAS the screen used suit but with the Cape thrown over the shoulders. Its take 25 years to notice that haha

[@KhaosKontroller]

Batfleck's suit is the only one that really nailed it. It's so comic accurate and it's not armored or entirely rubber. All the other ones have severe flaws.

[@gypsyboy316]

Great video thank you. For me I love the Batman Begins suit. I know it’s not in this but the Pattinson suit has also grown on me

[@hOtneO]

As a kid watching Keaton's Batman, I hadn't notice the wide gaps of his cowl, but watching it again many decades later, holy crap it's like a mask from Spirit store every Halloween. Then to see them do a proper Batman mask for Keaton that has no gaps and sits tight on his face for The Flash and the redesigned all black suit makes you happy and sad on the inside at the same time. Happy with how cool it looks but sad that instead of seeing that, we got Kilmer and Clooney instead.

[@JDoe-gf5oz]

Too bad he lost like five inches in height since the '90s. Dude looked like a midget.

[@salty1878]

Batfleck is the best :)

[@mulinsCZ]

Really great job, i have to appreciate work and research you put into video :)

[@williambrown6185]

I wonder why they couldn’t just use a leather or pleather cape for ‘89 Batman through Batman and Robin. If I had to pick my favorite suits it would be Affleck’s, Bales TDK suit, and Kilmers. Honorable mention to Bales Begins suit. Mostly because of the cape. It always amazes me though how people forget the costume for Batman:Dead End. That cowl is amazing and I’m pretty sure He turns his head in that film.

[@mikeymaltese]

The dark knight and the dark knight rises suit is my favorite but bvs suit is right up there too!

[@Uno-mv7wz]

Too bad Affleck´s The Batman story never came. It would been in Arkham Asylum, and a detective story too. Love his take on the Dark Knight! :) My God, those cowls look like "Laughing Batman" :D :)

[@Pressed_For_Time]

Interesting. Wow the guys are Iron Head Studios are geniuses for coming up with the idea on the Batfleck cowl. My favorite suit of all of them is probably the Sonar suit from forever. Jose knocked that suit out of the park. Nipple'less and clean. Looks good to this day. Also it was supposed to be Keatons suit when he was originally attached. Furthermore, why don't they just replace all the latex cowls with fiberglass reproductions? The reproductions look like they were just filmed yesterday.. And since no one is allowed to touch them, what harm would it cause as no one would really know. Maybe place movie used latex cowls in a vacuum sealed glass cube or something. Anything to preserve it more.

[@Argaroth666]

Batman Returns batsuit is the best suit of all.
