It really captured just how pants-shittingly scary Batman should be.
Spawn still impresses me so many years later.
Oh yeah, I need to rewatch this movie but I unironically love how they did it.
It really doesn't
Yep. That's Black Manta alright. Giant saucer head, massive glowing laser eyes, water jet pack... None of this should work, and yet the movie made it ALL work.
Yes! Especially since they had a Stan Winston made practical suit in the first one.The specialness of this has probably worn off just due to how often we saw it, but they nailed EVERYTHING about the Mark IV in Iron Man. How it looked, how it moved, how it came together and flew. Perfect.
Felt like making a thread praising the scene in Far From Home. Watched it again today and it's still amazing how good they made Mysterio. Just about everything from him was perfect.
BvS Batman is impressive not because how good they nailed but because we went trough 7 major motion pictures Batman before getting a good Batman outfit .
My favorite tough is Iron Man, it looks so real and at the same time a mirror to its comic book counterpart, its just amazing.
Especial mention to Red Skull,Dr Strange and V.

Yup, the Bat-Tank (not the car) sure is up there.
Dr. Strange and Mysterio share my personal close second, just because they look so perfect and really, really should not work.
Everything from Hellboy 1&2 is this.

Spawn is so weird because some of the effects like this still look excellent, especially for when it was made.
But then you have his cape and the Hell stuff....
They ran out of money for the hell shots. Some vendor didn't deliver or some shit. Ran with the money. The cape was amazing for the time. You lies.
I agree & probably the best in all live action Batmans, in my opinion.
Though, it makes Affleck's neck looked bigger/wider...
For the time for sure, I just don't think it holds up as well compared to some other shots. And the practical effects that they use were amazing, as was the make up
I didn't realize they ran out of money, that explains why there's such a huge disparity.
I've never worn a Rorschach mask, but I've done The Question before, and it's not impossible to see. My solution was to have two layers of dyed cheesecloth except for the "eyeholes" which were only one layer. The end result is still very smooth looking with a lot of added visibility. You don't see perfectly, but you can get by. I think the preferred material for Rorschach masks is stockings though, not cheese cloth. I don't know how the visibility compares.
God, Mysterio is beautiful. I have no idea how they managed to pull it off but they did. MCU costume design is generally fantastic but Mysterio is easily the most impressiveAmazing this costume worked:
Also Cap Marvel costume looks great on film.
It's hard not to admire those Ninja Turtle costumes, because they're (obviously) onscreen constantly, alongside and interacting with unadorned actors, and with no CG safety net. Had they been even slightly off, or even restricted movement too much, the entire film would've collapsed.
But Henson and co. nailed them.

Still raving over them. You're right; if anything was even slightly off, the whole FILM would've fallen apart since all four are the primary characters.
But they were so good that they put them in plenty of close-ups and the emotions came across clear. Even WITH the bandana masks typically limiting expression.
Even then, most filmmakers - even ones with lots of experience like Stan Winston - always tried to keep their practical effects limited to dark shadows, night shots, and a few minutes of film at a time. The Ninja Turtles, however, often had many scenes out in broad daylight, under natural light, where any slight blemish, mistake, or stilted animatronic would've been even worse... but it didn't happen. They just knocked it out of the park.
Never thought they would come close to depicting Hela as she looks in the comics, but they definitely did.
Hela was a really really good depection.
The cape and helmet were so on point.
I like Cap's Winter Soldier suit
Shield Captain America is actually my favorite Captain America costume even in the comics.
Them having captured and done it pretty much better than the comic is a true accomplishment.
I would also like to see Shield Captain Marvel....sometimes more muted colors help a costume look the business.
But my vote is still DeadPool.
Can't recall whether Batfleck could move his head around in that glorious suit. If he couldn't then I consider the cowl portion, trash.
