How I'd Design The Batman Beyond Suit

If I were to pitch a live action Batman Beyond suit for James Gunn, Warner Bros., and the new DCU, this is exactly what I'd pitch.

In this video, I break down how I’d design the Batman Beyond suit through incorporating design elements we know and love, adapting some thing to work for the big screen, and dreaming up new plot devices that work beautifully for the character. I go piece by piece through the cowl, base layer, utility belt, wings and thrusters, and symbol. I even hand drew a skit, voiced by Jeremy Meyers, John Della Contrada, and myself, to show what it might look like in the DC universe when Batman has to come up with a new suit and logo.

My design pulls heavily from the comics and animated series that defined Batman Beyond's look, including but not limited to Batman Beyond, Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, Batman Beyond, and Justice League Unlimited.

If you’re a Batman Beyond fan, Batman Fan, a DCU fan, or just tired of every live action suit looking like either a tactical swat officer or a morph suit, this one’s for you.
