Warner Bros. has been really getting fans on a roller coaster ride, from excitement to disappointment to just plain "okay with it." Despite the commercial success (and also numerous fans' disappointments) of DC's "Suicide Squad," the movie studio is still striving for a successful hit with the upcoming live adaptation of "Justice League." Fans have been teased with the official trailer and the new black suit of Superman, now they can take a look at Batman's new tactical suit.
Batman is known and loved for his genius detective skills, acrobatics, diverse martial arts, stealth and wide range of high-tech gadgets. But, even with those deeming him a superhero, he's still just human. Even in the comics, TV shows, and his other films, he's shown to vulnerabilities just like everybody else. Of course, that's what makes him special. However, he can't help but deal with villains (and even fellow heroes turned potential villains) of the supernatural caliber.
If fans recall the "Batman V Superman" movie (or even at least the comics, TV shows, and other films), Batman would have to resort to his intellect and technology to combat meta-humans like Superman. A report from Inverse mentions that director Zack Snyder teased an image of Batman's new look (or at least one of his suits), donning armored plates and goggles over his eyes.
The suit has a "tactical look" to it and it's no doubt it might be used as an enhanced combat method against certain villains. Being in a group of super powered comrades, it would keep him on leveled ground with the rest of them
Even if the Dark Knight has been known to take down both superheroes and super villains alike, he still wouldn't have done so with his intellect alone. He would have to utilize that intellect with different arsenal for different situations. Of course with something as grand as the "Justice League" movie, Batman would need all the help he could get especially that Warner Bros. teased that DC's super villain Steppenwolf would be a possible antagonist.
In other related news, DC Extended Universe (DCEU) executive Jon Berg explained that the movie will also further address Bruce Wayne's violent vigilante actions in "Batman V Superman," according to The Wall Street Journal. Bruce would have to face the guilt of his horrifying actions he did and reconcile himself of that. Berg made sure that this subplot would not stray too far from the overall plot and feel of "Justice League." He also assured that this movie would not be a dark and gritty as the other DCEU films.
"Justice League" will hit theaters on Nov. 16, 2017 and there have been talks of a planned sequel on June 14, 2019.
