His cape is a giant bow-tie. Just putting that out there. With an extra set of arms attached

I like the design, but... Batman? Looks more like a character in a video game. Wanna guess what Nomura does for a living?

I am pleasantly surprised that there weren't an onslaught of belts and zippers. Or at least it wasn't Nomura just throwing stuff together from Shibuya store displays. The design itself is weird, though. Like Batman Beyond but a mecha. Now I want toei to do a Batman show in the vein of that Spider-Man one they did in the 70's. This redesign is like a more outlandish Kamen Rider-style thing.

That looks so tacky; so overtly Japanese. I don't understand why more Japanese artists can't just makes something that looks culturally neutral, like most things in existence look. Like, Polish artists don't give everything wings and a horse. Greek artists don't put everybody in a diadem and a purple robe.

Nice design but it looks like a typical anime character in black.

Sorta like the Anime version of the Batbots Ross created for him in Kingdom Come. Interesting design as far it goes.

Hmm, it definitely looks pretty darn cool, but maybe not quite right for Batman. Remember when Amalgram Comics came out? Had Batman been merged with Iron Man instead of Wolverine, I think that this would have made for some good concept art for the resulting Iron Bat.

I would like to see what Superman would look like.

I don't like it, but then, I basically don't like any of Nomura's designs so just not for me I guess.

I like it.
Plus it could have been a lot worse had Nomura used his usual bag of tricks of leather, belts, and zippers out the ass.

I just think it looks goofy.
I'm not a big fan over over-complicated designs for characters or costumes. I like things kinda simple, Batman's usualy costume is great. Looks cool, it's simple, practical and serves the purpose of scaring the shit out of badguys. Spiderman's, simple, practical and distinctive so everyone knows who he is.
This just looks like something a 13 year old would draw.

I'll echo the "it looks cool but it isn't Batman" sentiment.

Dumb. Looks like an anime robot monster. I'd be hard pressed to buy that there's a human in there that relies on cunning and a few gadgets to get the job done. That thing has plasma cannons.

That's because he has a fetish with putting unnecessary amounts of those things in the characters of his games. For no reason whatsoever.
