| Batman & Robin concept art by Miles Teves |
Batman & Robin is a very controversial film to many and the biggest controversy erupted over Batman's costume. Many hated it. But what if the Batsuit had been different? Could it have been more successful? One of the artists working on the film, Miles Teves, created some amazingly different looks for the movie. I've already shared his super-sexy Batgirl outfit before. Now, it's time to show his amazing Batman, Robin and Poison Ivy designs.
Miles Teves is a professional concept artist who's worked on big budget films like Spider-Man (2002), Terminator: Rise of the Machines (2003) and Terminator Salvation (2009).

What do you think of the concept art? If you've seen Batman & Robin what did you think? Could the costumes have been better?
Official Batman & Robin Synopsis
The fourth outing in the popular movie franchise features yet another personnel change as George Clooney dons the mantle of the bat. Joel Schumacher directs for the second time as Batman (Clooney) and Robin (Chris O'Donnell) have to stop the vengeful Mr Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger) from taking over Gotham City by using his new ice weapon. To make matters worse, the venomous Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman) decides to join forces with Freeze, so making an almost undefeatable double-whammy of a team. Luckily for the caped crusader and his rebellious ward, they are able to team up with a tough and courageous new partner - Batgirl (Alicia Silverstone).

I don't think costume changes would have saved that movie. It had much more fundamental problems. I liked all those concepts, I think costumes are really hard to translate from the page into real life images. Any of those could have looked horrible if they'd been translated onto screen. They all have that semi-rigid plastic look to them which is really tough to pull off onscreen, I think.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say the same thing as Rusty - nothing could've saved it. That film jumped the shark in terms of cheesiness.
