> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Max Carnage \* > \*\*You’ll be glad to hear then that Chris Nolan, director of the new Batman, says “no rubber suits” and wants to rely on a more realistic version of the costume. Probably because it’s a “year one” story, I think. Can’t remember where I read that but it was undoubtedly on [filmforce.ign.com](http://filmforce.ign.com). \*\* Oh _no_…he’s going to do gray spandex with black underoos, isn’t he? Oh great gods of cinema, _please_ let him at _least_ use leather… I mean, Burton’s Batman wasn’t _that_ bad, was it? To get past the “rubber” part, he just added a quick a “clink-clink” sound effect when someone tapped on Keaton’s chestplate, and boom, Batman’s wearing armor. It worked. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Cervaise_ > \*\* Yeah, that costume pretty much sucks donkey balls. But believe it or not, the Punisher outfit is even lamer.\*\* What…what are they doing with the Punisher? It’s the gloves, isn’t it? The white gloves? …I always _knew_ those damned gloves were trouble! ---

Did this “Patience Price” exist in the DC universe before this movie, or was it created just for the flick? ---

Five minutes ago, if you had asked me whether it was possible to make Halle Berry not look sexy, I would have said no. Five minutes ago, if you had asked me whether it was possible to make Catwoman not look sexy, I would have also said no. But that was five minutes ago. Man, that must have taken some hard work! ---
