TDK Trilogy | Behind-The-Scenes In an interview with Empire, costume designer Lindy Hemming broke down in detail about the evolution of the Bat-suits. BATMAN BEGINS “Both Chris Nolan and I wanted to make a different kind of Batsuit for Batman Begins,” remembers costume designer Lindy Hemming of early Bat-erations of the suit. Taking inspiration – like Lucius Fox – from military hardware, the pair worked to construct the garb, although, admits the costumer, “my ideas were a bit over-ambitious”. Perhaps fittingly, its evolution would end up mirroring Bruce Wayne’s innovations on-screen. “I was wanting to do more-or-less what we did when we got to The Dark Knight, which was to transform the heavy rubber suit and make it much more modern.” THE DARK KNIGHT After Batman’s stiff-neck syndrome in Batman Begins, the challenge was designing a loose and limber neck piece. “We made the neck much more moveable and lighter”, explains Hemming, “and not so thick. “I designed a more animalistic feeling for the face, and the surface of the cowl, so we could see more emotion or stress in it.” At the same time, technical supervisor Graham Churchyard was charged with mixing a new foam mixture that would hold more air and make the suit lighter. THE DARK KNIGHT RISES More work has gone into the cowl fitting to bless Batman with addition mobility, if not the option of going full Exorcist with his head. “It’s been completely redesigned in order for him to be able to move his head,” explains Hemming. “All the bulk’s gone.” Source: DC Comics & Empire Which Bat-suit is your favorite from TDK trilogy?
