Yeah, I hate the nipples, but without them it wouldn't look hideous.

Might have spoken too soon, though. I think this is possibly the ugliest thing, let alone Batsuit, I've ever seen.

Forgetting that whole aiming "High Center Chest" thing from a while back, just because our faces were visible when I was in the Army didn't mean we didn't wear kevlar helmets and flak jackets.

You can leave your face open and still have reason to cover other parts of your body, chest, and head.  Just saying.

BTW - I like Gary Frank's work, but I could pass on the re-design.  I prefer Adams/Aparo's Batman and the bat signal chest emblem.

I prefer the bat signal chest emblem as well and I hope it returns in all the bat titles.

The very first Bob Kane version was the best!

Haven't being there always been two Clark Kents? One being the  role he plays in public ( the stuttering, clumsy bumbler) and the other is the guy raised by the Kents, the person he is when he was alone with Ma and Pa and later Lois ( and by himself).

In my opinion JB removed the clumsy Clark Kent completely.

SER: True, but the JB Clark Kent still played a role -- as evidenced from the weights he kept around in his apartment to help explain why he was built like a  Greek God. He constantly pretended that he was not anything more than a normal human being.

I liken it to if Brad Pitt suddenly showed up at your office, working in the cubicle next to you. Maybe he might wear glasses and non-movie star clothing, just like us. He would be unassuming, attend staff meetings, joke at the water cooler. He wouldn't go out of his way to "play" a character that was so different from the one on screen that you wouldn't suspect it was him, though. 

After all, you never see Superman in the what I call "Tarantino" moments when he's annoyed that someone used the last bit of coffee but didn't make another pot. When you see Superman, he's in ACTION. When people see Clark Kent, he's doing what normal people do with their day.

As I mentioned above, though, the "acting" comes up whenever someone accidentally spills hot coffee on him and he feigns pain.

Playing a Greek God is not the same as playing clumsy. I don't think Greek Gods a clumsier than other Gods.
