Batman: Retro Modern

I'm on a noir / googie / retro modern kick right now, real "World of Tomorrow" type vibes going on. This is a rare chance for me to show off a costume concept I had floating around the brain.

I wanted to go for a modern redesign that integrated elements from his previous incarnations without retaining the corny-ness of old.

What we have here is Batman with a modern body suit similar to what he has in the comics: his utility belt, however, is more streamlined and designed to house a variety of objects, all buckled together in the Adam West-style. His cowl is designed to look like his original incarnation with the ears that slope up and inwards. Likewise, his logo is similar to that used on the TV show Batmobile and the inside lining of his cape reflects this as well: a subdued, dark crimson color in a cape design that is more reminiscent of Bela Legosi than anything we've seen so far.
