The Classic Bat Suit

As Michael Wilkinson explains to us, the suit that Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) wears for large chunks of Justice League will be a very close variation from what we saw in Batman v Superman. But the costume department is always looking for the opportunity to tweak the suit's design and craftsmanship as new technologies come into play. The above photo is the closest comparison I found on the Web (and is NOT the suit that we actually saw). But those colors resemble what we saw, with a heavy mixture of grey and black, as seen above

The biggest difference that we noticed in the design of the Classic Bat Suit was the addition of armor plates found under the grey carbon-fiber mesh weave of the suit. It's pronounced in the stomach and the chest of Batman's suit, and it exists to give him more protection in the heat of battle. Wilkinson said:

One new detail is that Zack wanted a little more sense of armor and deflection on his gauntlets when he is shot at, and so I designed these [gloves] that are kind of based on the samurai. We know from Bruce Wayne's history that he studied martial arts in Japan, so I thought that could be appropriate. But we sort of modernized it with a Wayne Tech aesthetic here. It's a little more aggressive.

In addition, Wilkinson and his team have designed a new cowl for Batman, though on the outside, you might not notice a difference. As he explained to us, it's implied that, inside the cowl, there's this whole membrane and a protective system. But now it also comes with new and enhanced ways for Batman to communicate with Alfred (Jeremy Irons), as well as other members of the Justice League. The inside of the cowl, in addition to having a mold that fits Ben Affleck's face, is a mess of wires and gadgets that assist Batman in his crime-fighting duties.

But Batman isn't facing human villains in Justice League. The antagonists are stepping up their game, and so Bruce Wayne is developing a NEW suit. Keep reading to learn more about it.
