The designer of one of the most controversial Batman suits has finally revealed details of why they did it that way.
In 1995 and 1997 the two installments of Batman from the director Joel Schumacherwhich tried to give it a more colorful touch with regard to the films of Tim Burton of 1989 and 1992. That is why Michael Keatonthey replaced it first Val Kilmer and then George Clooney and despite the fact that they were relatively successful at the box office, they are considered one of the worst adaptations of the superhero genre.
25 years after the premiere, the costume designer Jose Fernandez finally broke his silence and talks about why the decision was made to make the suit this way Batman in the magazine MEL:
“With Val Kilmer’s costume in Batman Forever (2015), the nipples were one of those things that I added. It wasn’t a fetish for me, I was more informed by Roman armor, like centurions. And, in the comics, the characters always seemed to be spray-painted naked – it was all about anatomy, and I like to push anatomy. I don’t know exactly where my head was at the time, but that’s what I remember. And so, I added the nipples. I had no idea it would end up being all this hype about it.”
The hero and his costume continue to evolve.
Maybe Jose Fernandez not quite right with his suit design Batmanbut as it happens in the comics, the movies have been representing the Dark Knight with different aspects, since it has recently been interpreted by actors such as Christian Bale, Ben Affelck Y Robert Pattinson.
