in spite of knowing this movie will suck balls, that does look quite cool.

Even with the training and bulking, i suspect cutting would reveal a shape that falls quite a way short of that.
yes

Not sure why they have gone for some an extreme look (even down to the amount of veins)

i only know about 2 people who can achieve that look (and currently do) and they both spend a reasonable amount on steriods/growth hormones
There are a few in Hollywood who seem to be able to shed or gain weight/muscle at an alarmingly fast rate. Tom Hardy, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, etc.

Just look at Chris Hemsworth:



These were taken a few years apart, but I guess if you have 6-12 months and enough money for a damn good PT, then you can pack a fair bit of muscle on.

Its called drugs, that amount of muscle gain is nigh on impossible without drugs unless you have 10 years and you're a genetic freak!

I have no doubt there is definitely something a bit 'chemically' in their diet, but I doubt it's steroids. More than likely a fair amount of Creatine and a few fat burners.

He's not actually that big or cut in comparison to most top natural bodybuilders, although they dedicate years to what they do rather then 6-12 months.

Why would Batman look like that?

Given he does a load of running, jumping and brawling, surely he should look more like a UFC fighter than a body builder. I know nothing of fitness but isn't that the wrong "type" of fitness?

I went for a long hike with a bloke who was built up like that, although obviously not that extreme. He kept getting out of breath going up the hills. You don't want Batman to be puffing and panting after a short run.

Probably. He has a school girls frame, and would (I guess) pack on muscle fairly 'easily' in the months of time he has to prep for a film like Thor, with paid specialists coordinating him.

Wonder what build bumchin has naturally.

There are definitely enhancements in their diets, and I'd be honestly shocked if there wasn’t a form of steroid in their diets. They would obviously never admit it.

I can't post the pictures as I'm stuck behind a firewall at work, but he seems pretty average in terms of day-to-day build. I'd say he has a similar build to me, which is fairly broad shoulders, reasonable natural muscle mass but carry a bit of timber.

There is a picture of him on Google images apparently taken quite recently (within last month) where he looks quite bulky, but not as huge as the Batman promo picture.

I'm going to assume he's put some muscle on, but the suit is tailored to make him look bigger.

With regards to the pictures:

For me personally, they have restored a glimmer of hope that this film might still turn out to be pretty good. I'm a fan of the new suit, I love that fact it's similar to the The Dark Knight Returns and will fit nicely with the MOS style.

Still not convinced about Affleck, but I learnt my lesson after Heath Ledger's Joker; so I'll withold judgement. I'm a big fan of Snyder and think he did a good job with MOS, so all is not lost.

The batmobile has shades of Tim Burton to it, which I don't think is a good thing.

Can I ask why, I think the burton Batmobile was the best looking next to the animated series Batmob of the early 90's. The Nolan Bat Tank whilst cool, didn't have the nice look of the burton sleek but muscular one.

This is a slight mash of the 2.

The batmobile in the new Arkham Knight game is a bit like this, the offspring of the tumbler and the burton batmobile, looks mega!

But each to our own.

Also pretty sure the suit has some armour in it, and the muscles are stylised, like the previous batsuits, this just has echoes of Adam west material over skin but it fact is anything but.

We will see soon, for me, Godzilla is in my main interest.

MoS was moulded to try and fit into a realistic world, so I am hoping that the MoS Batman will be the same.
I did had nightmares of the old tights returning. So armour is fine.
The Batmobile then obviously has to be practical. The Tumbler was ultimately practical, and had a reason to exist, ex-army issue.
The new one looks like the Tumbler but with some exterior styling, so still good.

I'm going to court controversy on this one, but I didn't really like the Tim Burton Batmans . Maybe its because I was a bit younger and I will admit its been a while since I watched them, but they just never sat right with me.

Yeah, I've taken another look and I can see the blend between the two styles. I think it's to do with the fact the Burton Batmobile always looked like a giant cock....

Yeah, I'd agree with that. I'm thinking under armour with some kind of material over the top, which I think is a good idea. It gives the same visual effect as the Frank Miller comics, while also giving it some grounding in reality. Batman was a little 'huge' in The Dark Knight Returns. I suppose it is similar to how Nolan dealt with a live action Bane.

Indeed:




So he's got the frame and can build muscle, so I see no reason why he won't be pretty big and ripped for Batman, though the suit is certainly enhancing it with armour IMO.

Those looking at actors who can gain/lose muscle mass need look no further than Christian Bale, the master...

That's understandable. The Rock is a proper unit, not a pumped up lil guy.
