I tell ya what, if you see Batman, tell him to his face that he should stop wearing blue.

I dare you.

...In all seriousness, I think it's all up to the artist. A little bit of "artistic freedom".

Originally the blue was due to coloring reasons, but now its tradition.

Nicely rendered, but a horrible rendition of him. He loos so weedy, and those ears dont look good on a realistic styled batman

I dont see whats the problem with the blue. The batcostume is there for the theatrics, its the person whos scary. Not the costume.

Am I blue? Am I blue? Ain't these tears in my eyes telling you



Am I blue? You'd be too, if each plan that you had dun fell through



There was a time, I was your only one. But now I'm the sad and lonely one. I'm a fool, I'm your only one.....

Try this:



And the blue isn't necessary anymore. I much prefer the black and gray it's supposed to be also, but did you not see just down the page the whole talk already about the blue vs. black thing?? Or did you just want to continue the topic anyway??

And what do you mean, that was the only image you could find?? Go past page 2 on Google... And you're going to find even with the darker Batman stuff, highlights have to be put on the costume of either blue, gray, blue gray, sometimes even green, just to show detail and contrast on the costume, itself. It's just the way it is. Black is a hard thing to really show in drawn form without allowing for some liberties...

Edit: and also, blue is sometimes still even used for the black and gray for realism in lighting. Night is often blue, or makes the hues of colors look bluish, so the highlights of the costume sometimes have to be this. In your darker pic there, it's actually dusk, so the costume wouldn't reflect blusih light with all of that orange around, but the gray is a bit orange in hue, actually, even red deeper into the cape.

Nice render, but that's a really ugly cowl.

Why in the HELL did you devote a thread to this?

Seriously, though, blue/black... really doesn't matter. Maybe darkness makes it look black, and light makes it more blue-looking... Maybe Batman's fashion trends change every once in a while...

Then again, maybe it really doesn't matter.

I agree. The blue Batsuit looks stupid.

Batman is sometimes blue, black, pink, red etc. We all know Bruce Wayne is mega rich so he would like to keep up to date with fashion

They only did that to make it look 3D. But I don't think we need that in a video game.

But I know what you mean.
