There are now rumors of costume changes for the new Batman flick, though even Ain't It Cool doesn't put much stock into it:

I don't recall running across this too widely...the only place I found reference to it was HERE...although our tipster makes it sound like the changes to the new suit are more dramatic than posited in the article linked above.

Aonemantidalwave sent in this snippet regarding a recent encounter he had with someone working on THE DARK KNIGHT. I've tweaked this message to avoid revealing the identity of the person working on the film.


MINOR COSTUME-RELATED SPOILER AHEAD!?!?


    Both Christian Bale and Christopher Nolan have seen a new Batsuit & there's been a fitting.

    I told this person how I didn't particularly dig the suit in Batman Begins and said it was too bulky. To this he/she replied, "Well then you'll love the new one." He/she also stated that Bats changes his suit halfway through the film - and its a major plotpoint as to the how and why this happens.

    He/she sadly, had no news about the Joker's get up.


This source is new to us, so keep that in mind when contemplating the vast array of costuming possibilities here.

If I'm repeating something that's already widely known, my apologies.



The place they link to is Cinematical.

Finally, a tipster wrote in to Batman On Film claiming they've heard Batman's costume will be altered for the sequel, in an attempt to mimic the changes Bruce Wayne would make as time evolved. Says the tipster, "The appearance will not change dramatically, but will be lighter and sleeker than the one in Batman Begins. It may also be constructed to look more like heavyweight fabric and armour than rubber."



That site also seems to believe that Katie Holmes will have a substantial role in the new movie.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
