I'm loving the suit. It's the perfect union between the new 52 current day style and the old Dark Knight Returns aesthetic. I can't wait to see Ben fighting in it. I'm quite happy that the films are now going away from the overdone armored suits and getting in touch with the comic books.
As for Arkham Knight, that's a first-day purchase kind of game for me. It's the only reason I'm going next-gen. Everything I've seen has looked beyond incredible. Here's the batsuit Bruce will be wearing in the game:
Or Conroy vs. Daly.
EDIT:
Snyder just shared this picture of the batsuit in full:
I edited the exposure a bit to increase the visibility:
Awesome!
I forgot to follow up on this. For such a brief event to see a trailer that I had already seen, I had a great time. Most of the fun came from shooting the s*** with the other schmucks in line and chatting about upcoming films.
The only new footage that was shown was an additional few seconds of Superman and Batman charging at each other that was shot in IMAX. Visually, the trailer itself did not look as good as I had hoped. This is probably what happens when you stretch a standard definition trailer across an IMAX screen. The IMAX footage, however, looked very crisp and sharp though.
and of course I got a free pass to see the film in IMAX a week early... and two posters:
HOLY is that one of the best fanmade posters I've seen!
Considering that Superman's suit is Krypotian in origin, no tailor has been or will ever be needed. ;)
So, this shows that Superman worked together with Wayne industries, so that Bruce´s gadget guy could take a closer look at that fabric and recreate it. So what made them become so antagonistic then? Did both experience a crush on that Wonder Woman ;-)?
My favorite is Asylum. Aside from the misjudged Joker boss fight at the end I thought it was a really fantastic game, pretty much perfect. Rather than doing the easy thing and copying the Nolan trilogy's realistic approach they went in their own direction, making it much more comic book style but also making it darker than any of the films. The Asylum was a great setting that really helped the dark twisted atmosphere. You had deranged inmates that suddenly jump out of nowhere screaming and attack you, inmates taunting you from their cells as you go down the corridors, etc. I really liked that and while City made some gameplay improvements, I think it was a case of bigger not necessarily being better. The atmosphere from Asylum was gone and the story felt a little disjointed to me, they seemed to cram in too many characters for the sake of it which led to most of them being very underutilized imo. Not a terrible game, just not as good as the first one.
Origins to me despite a good, interesting story just felt like a cash grab, an Arkham City clone pushed out to keep the money rolling in while Arkham Knight was developed. And Gotham felt really lifeless and dull (City and now Knight had an excuse for there being no civilians but in Origins it just felt lazy, it's snowing a lot so there's not a single person in all of Gotham walking the streets or driving around, aside from the odd cop, criminal and homeless guy? Really?) and half the map was just the same as Arkham City.
So while Knight does look cool, the series has sort of alienated me a bit, sadly. Thanks for the photos of the new batsuit btw, I am warming to it a bit now. The steel knuckles are a very cool idea.
I've seen some gameplay for Arkham Knight that seemed to have a lot more people on the streets; civilians, not enemies. We may even see people driving around trying to escape. I don't believe it's going to be completely barren like it's been before, regardless of Scarecrow triggering an evacuation. I'll have to look into that.
Fortunately it's become a staple in the Arkham games to have alternate costumes- they'd be smart to include a BvS skin!
And a Keaton Batman or Nolan Batman. Apparently at the beginning of Arkham Knight Batman will be in the usual suit seen in Asylum and City, but the new threat posed by the villains forces him to gear up and upgrade.
I loved Man of Steel, but after watching this video, I have to admit I'd much rather watch their version!

To balance out my negative comments on the series I will say something I think that will be good in Arkham Knight: The Joker won't be in it. Don't get me wrong he's a great villain but something that's happened constantly in these games is that they've given us teases of really cool, interesting villains but then given them about five minutes screentime. In all three games, The Joker is the main bad guy, even when he isn't advertised as such (City's advertising made out Hugo Strange was the big bad, and Origins advertised that mob boss with the skull mask). Now he's out of the picture we have Scarecrow and a cool new villain taking over as the main bad guys, something I'm pleased with.
I want there to be an Adam West costume. I think that playing through all the really dark, serious dramatic moments the game will have as the Adam West Batman would be really fun.
And @thelivingroyale, there was a dlc Adam West Batman skin in Origins. I'd love to see some of the old ones return in Arkham Knight, especially the Dark Knight Returns skin from City. Above and beyond my absolute favorite.

My thoughts:
The facial tattoos may be a bit much. I wouldn't mind seeing these gone. And the teeth could be kind of distracting (I'd like to believe Batman knocked his real teeth out :D ). I don't mind the body tattoos, most will be covered with clothing anyway. Anyway, I trust Leto to give us a great performance. He is one of the few hope inspiring casting choices so far in the DCCU.
But this design...man. A tattoo that says 'Damaged' on his forehead? Really? He looks like the punks from RoboCop 3.
The tattoos would be a cool idea if they were executed well, which they aren't. If he had scarred, hand scrawled tattoos saying "hahahahaha" (and maybe a Batman tatoo? It'd make sense given how obsessed he is) that he'd done himself in a prison cell or something while laughing like a maniac, sure, that fits The Joker. But they look too clean professional. Like he's gone into a tattoo parlour and asked for all this to be done. Can you really imagine The Joker going into town and getting himself a "damaged" tattoo on his forehead? No, me neither. The other tattoos also look to professional and well done.
And the damaged tat on his head is just stupid. It makes him look like a monumental bellend, that tatoo is what really kills it for me.
You do realize that Batman pre-dates the cinematic Bond by a good two decades, right?
As for the Batman v. Superman debate, you just wait and see how Bruce floors the Man of Steel next year. They don't call him the master tactician for nothing.
