The overall suit is a kevlar/titanium weave. The cowl has a titanium shell with articulated plates in the neck. That is the official description. As the suit has a form, even when not worn, hinting that while the suit is flexible, has a strongly formed material.
We've seen in the movie that the suit and the cool are bullet proof against handgun fire even at point blank range, even the arms which might be the thinnest parts of the suit. But he took out the assault rifles with some tec devise which may lead to the conculussion that the suit can withstand bullets out if pistols and revovlers but not out of rifles and submachine guns. He also got stabbed in the arm and the knife could penetrate the suit which may lead to the conclussion that the suit is more build to withstand bullets than knives or other edged weapons, which makes since Batman is a great martial artist and since he uses his gauntlets as a defense against edged weapons
The knife never penetrated the suit even a knife got deflected when stabbed at his neck. The suit's knife proof. The suit is likely bulletproof to assault rifles.
Yes it did...you clearly see him get stabbed in the left shoulder/upper arm area while being on the ground that's at the 1:47:53 mark of the theatrical version...actually you hear him scream. He clearly pulls the knife out of this arm in the next scene at the 1:47:59 mark. You see the knife being deflected earlier in the fight but 1. the knife got defelcted by the cowl not the suit, 2. the dude with that knife did a slashing move while the guy that 1:47:53 mark did a stabbing move. When the suit is proof against assult rifles why bother and waste curcial time and tech to take the assault rifles out of the fight. As said before it's totally reasonable to asume that the cowl and the bat symbol are the best armored parts of his suit the cowl protecting his head and the symbol his heart and a large part of his lung.
thecaliforniakid Yet there was no blood when being stabbed. Thick padding still stopped the knife, likely the first layer being penetrated. His suit mostly resisted bullets yet what makes a knife being able to produce more force than a bullet. There wasn't blood on the knife either as well. I don't tend to use the theatrical version but ultimate edition. He only makes a grunt due to the pressure of knife, pressuring on the other layer of suit. Though almost irrelevant his comic book counter part once had his ribs being to crack by bullets not because of the bullets penetrating the armor but due to the pressure force. Watch again it was behind his neck he got stabbed not in the head since he has a metal helmet underneath his cowl/head. The thugs did attempted to stab and slash but ended up getting deflected by his gauntlets which batman in a lot of incarnations try to use offensively against blades weapons. In the scene a guy actually started firing his assault rifle against batman until he got pulled by the batclaw.You shouldn't jump into the conclusion his suit isn't bulletproof against assault rifles just because he tries avoid them. Does the same thing apply to wonder woman when use deflects the WWI weapons instead of tanking them. Most of the heavily armed guy are front of the door, it'll be much easier to take them all out with explosive for batman to deal with lesser thugs when engaging in close quarters combat. Getting shot by everyone and getting overwhelmed in the warehouse isn't a better option. It's not reasonable to assume that the symbol and cowl are the most protective areas, this is DCEU batman who's irrelevant too the comics. Comic logics don't apply to films, the cowl might seem more protective since it's metal underneath. The bat symbol being the most protective spot seem assumption and only applies to the arkhams series and comics.
You seem to have no idea how kevlar works...kevlarstops bullets by spreading the impact of the bullet across a larger area the blade of a knife can slip between the threats of the kevlar. Also bullets are made of lead knifes are made of steel which is a much harder material. However this argument is over you stated the knife didn't penetrate the suit which it clarly did. Yeah it was the neck not the head but it still was the area protected by the cowl...nitpicking won't make you're statement more true. And again it was a slashing movement not a stabbing movment just take a kitchen knife and an old phone book and just look what does more damage and what penetrates deeper. It is a reasonable assumption that the cowl and symbol are the most protective spots of the suit (regardless if it is true or not) brain, heart, and lung are the must vital organs which means they're the organs someone would most likley protect the most. I don't see why comic logic wouldn't apply to the film since we all are speculating here.
in that warehouse scene one of the goons shoots Batman point blank in the head, twice, so i think the cowl is preatty armored, maybe the skull part of the cowl is actually a metal helmet.
skywolf23 well, the helmet could work like that of norman knights, a padded cap, a chainmail coif and a metal helmet on top of it, same principle, padding underneath, metal helmet and a rubber cowl covering all. As for the suit, it could be plate armor, the plates cover individually the main mucle groups, like pecs, abs, making the wearer look even more muscular than he actually is, and are sandwiched between layers of strong fabric.
skywolf23 As seen in Daredevil Season 2, Matt get's shot in the head but the Daredevil cowl stopped the bullet from penetrating but it did give him a massive headache.
Actually, more likely the helmet/cowl is made of some type of a type of woven super strong material like Kevlar or Twaron (names of aramid fibers) which modern combat helmets are made of.
@ARX 351 Actually the Cowl is armoured... It is basically Titanium Skeletal helmet with additional outer layer of strong material... We can see Alfred working on this in the extended version of the movie!!!
It's something I hoped the video would mention but I guess I'll do it myself. Batman's cowl and gauntlets in the DCEU are bullet and knife-proof due to a titanium understructure. The suit (as I've come to learn in my recent endeavors) is actually made out of a carbon fiber tri-weave. Said tri-weave is very flexible and resistant to most conditions. It is resistant to knife slashes but can't do much if the sharp point actually makes contact with force. So the gauntlets, symbol and cowl are bullet-proof but the suit itself exists to maximize movement speed while providing some form of protection.
If I'm correct its called the tech behind BvS. It's a book. As for the titanium understructure its visible in the film itself. I got some of the information from Cinemawins' Everything great about Batman v Superman (Ultimate Edition). I read up on some properties of Carbon fiber tri-weave (which I found out about via cinemawins). As for the bat symbol I found out about that here.
his head IS armored. in that fight scene, he took a gun shot to the head point blank and it didn't kill him. what i find funny, is that few seconds later in that same fight scene, someone stabbed him in the chest with a knife and it did pierce
Javier Richtofen my friend even freaking batman can't survive a stab to the chest, but if you look closely it wasnt the chest area it was near the shoulder, and it was shown in both editions of the movie
Javier Richtofen he also stated that the cape is probably made of the same material as the suit..... if that was true then how does the cape allow batman to glide
Going off of the movie, it would seem that all the black parts of his suit were especially armored. He withstood a point blank shot to the head and he blocked a bullet with his glove just after the grapnel was shot out of his hand.
According to the comics themselves, Kevlar, Nomex, and a bit of titanium tri-weave fibers. Also, the Chestpiece is the strongest part of the suit. the cowl is also reinforced with Kevlar. This comes from the Batman definitive guide illustrated book from DC and Todd McFarlane.
The suit is made of a technical carbon fiber tri-weave which creates a protective bodysuit. The suit is mostly bulletproof and knife proof. HOWEVER not in between joints for flexibility purposes. Just like when the thug in bvs stabbed him in between his shoulder and chest joint and when that other thug was shooting at batman he was hitting the armored pieces. Its like john wicks suit pistols won't penetrate his body armor and it is quite painful to resist the impact but armor piercing rounds or straight calibers will not work. The cowl has a bulletproof flexible titanium shell in the top of Bruce's head. Also like how that thug kept shooting bruce in the head. He can turn his head and doesn't have to do a bat turn. They designed it that way.
@@CharZy-y8v In The Dark Knight Returns, which was in the 80's, his suit is just spandex. He has the chest symbol armored since he says it acts as a target for criminals to shoot at but other than that it's just clothes. He only got a tech-y, bulletproof suit in more modern times as firepower started to become better and more readily available. It's easy to think a guy with lots of training could take out dudes with revolvers in just a regular suit, but you gotta have body armor to take on a room of guys with AK's or M4's or something. I personally prefer Batfleck's suit because it doesn't look like an Iron Man suit but it is still reinforced to make him bulletproof. Kind of the best of both worlds
The tri weave fiber allows Batman to be more flexible while the Kevlar combine with Nomex gives him endurance. So area where he’s flexible that’s where the tri weave fibers are. Not to mention tri weave fibers don’t give you protection against bullets or even knives.
You have terrible eye sight. The batsuit is made out of a fibrous material in a twill or harness satin weave. It's probably a mix of Kevlar, m5 fiber, carbon nanotubes, and reinforced with stf padding made to look like muscles. The cowl is also shown and proven to be made of titanium alloy covered in a rubber like material. His suit is designed to look like a normal body suit on top of a extremely buff frame, when in reality Bruce is not very big in the movie, and it's actually bulletproof and stab proof in most areas except for joints like when he was stabbed in the shoulder in the movie. Kevlar is a brand name of an aramid material, it is made by multiple different producers, in many different countries. The bat symbol on his chest is obviously going to be the strongest part of the suit because that is just batman lore, it is probably made out of a ceramic like material covered in a composite version of the same material used for the rest of the suit, and impregnated with a carbon nanotube resin or something bleeding edge like that.
jordan secrist Did you not read the BvS tech manual. It is made of a carbon fiber tri-weave, with a titanium understructure in the cowl. This guy is wrong.
bill bill I cannot believe they honestly try and say that his suit is made out of trilateral carbon fiber fabric. That is ridiculous. That wouldn't stop a single bullet, and it wouldn't stop any knife either, unless it was modified with some high tech flexible resin or maybe sheer thickening fluid, but even then I have my doubts. I wish they would have thought about this a little more before coming to that conclusion. This really upsets me if it's true. When i glanced through the technical manual I didn't see the carbon fiber triweave part. However I did see the titanium cowl. Maybe this batsuit is more about being extremely light weight rather than protective. Which would make him more like the original batman before they started giving him high tech armor.
jordan secrist Well, the suit was shown being stabbed through, so I guess they wanted a more confident Batman, meaning that he wouldn't wear the heavy armor Bale did, just him having the skills to not be hurt.
Are you talking about the DK or begins Nolan because DK armor looks like a biker jacket and I hate the look. And why the fuck did they try to sneak in that carbon fiber tri-weave suit from Arkham Knight??? They probably are just lazy af to be honest

Have you heard of non-Newtonian fluid? it's actually a liquid, but if you walk fast, you wont sink. Kinda of a quick sand but denser. That's a direction I think in for batsuit. Although not in liquid but in firm state. If you put something in water slowly it goes in easily, no resistance, but, the higher the speed the more resistant is the surface of the water, if you jump from high enough, falling in water would be as falling on a concrete. So, we know Bruce Wayne is rich and has access to all sorts of technology and gadgets, I would say batsuit is made out of some fabric that is elastic and comfortable when its moved slowly, but react in ways such as water or non-Newtonian fluid when something (bullet) hits in in high speed, it denses up. You know that little thing, that "finger trap" (sorry can't remember the name) where you easily put to fingers in a little tunnel like toy but can't extract them cause the more you pull the more it grabs? Something like that. That would explain Batfleck's easy movement and being bulletproof
Batmans whole suit is made out of reinforced kevlar + rubber material resistant to electricity & steals momentum from incoming projectiles propelling the object's velocity in a different direction meaning the bullets do not even penetrate his suit but just bounce off

Carbon Nanotubes: Because of their excellent tensile strength, they could potentially be used in the future for bullet resistant armor. However they are expensive because they are hard to make with current technology, but since Bruce Wayne is super rich so he could probably buy enough for a suit. He's also super smart so he might have figured out a way to mass produce them.
Cough cough You're clearly not a deluded MatPat fanboy who thinks hes the only one who can theorize stuff cough cough...... Sarcmark..... get over yourself kid
Kevlar wrapped nanocarbon threads woven back into itself to allow for greater flexibility and durability, and with a covering of an electrothermal resistant polymer possibly also waterproof.

He's good at material science so I think he made is own advanced synthetic polymer. The suits has been worn for over 20 years and has pretty much remained unchanged that's why all the wear and tear and scratches on it cuz it's meant to be his go to suit that's just straight up reliable like is grappling gun. His and robins gauntlets are some type of metal. So I think it's something that no one knows about. He was takin automatic weapons and hand guns repeatedly so I think it's something we don't know and that it's actually really advanced to be able to go throughout the years while others weren't even and still not caught up to it.
I'd put my money on a Kevlar/titanium weave over a synthetic rubber/nomax base. it would have be made breathable to allow for ease of movement and temperature control. A better question: what's his cape made out of? It needs to be light enough not to drag his movements, and it didn't seem to offer any gliding or protection capabilities
The thing you've overlooked, if your hypothesis is true, is how much the suit would ultimately weigh. Batman's supposed to be far stronger than the strongest man on earth already, but if your theory is correct, his suit would likely weigh over a hundred pounds alone. Can you really see him jumping and flying around the way he does carrying that much extra weight, on top of all his gadgets, not to mention his heavy physique?
According to the DC COMICS EXTENDED UNIVERSE WIKI, The batsuit is made up of a technical carbon fiber tri-weave which protects him against low caliber firearms.
tri weave titanium fibers with nomex and magnetic fluid within the underlayer which absorbs a ton of kinetic energy directed at it. its even in the cowl, where bats takes point blank rounds to the head(way to ruin ur freeflow combo) without bats having a major headache.
There's more likely two layers to that suit. The inner layer could be a plated armour, similar to the one in The Dark Knight just with more mobility/flexibility. The top layer could be a "shirt" made of Kevlar weave fabric fused into the main suit. Here's how. Notice that Batfleck got stabbed right around the top joint of his arm, you can't have plates in that spot because you need to move. Seeing how Batman casually (rather angrily) walked it off indicated that the knife didn't penetrate enough to cause any serious damage, so it's gotta be Kevlar weave. In the shot of the suit's on the shelf (when he's not wearing it), it has elevations in the chests and other major muscle areas and wrinkles around them, indicating there's a Kevlar/titanium plate armour beneath the first layer.
The batsuit has been claimed to be made from titanium reinforced kelvar, all the way to kelvar reinforced with carbon nanotubes and other metal polymers. In short as science progresses so do the items used for the batsuit, for all we know his next suit could have vanta-black added to it (allthough the material is really prone to damage) to make it extra extra stealthy since its absorbs more than 99% of the light that drops on it.
depends on how many layers of Kevlar you have as to how flexible it is, the suit could be Kevlar, with the number of layers in the symbol being increased to a point it losses the flexibility he needs for the rest of the body. more layers more protection but less flexibility. an other possibility is instead of extra layers of Kevlar is the Bat Symbol has a semi ridged armor laminate between the layers of Kevlar. You can buy Suits and Overcoats that integrate Kevlar, World Leaders, Diplomats & Executives and the people on their protection details ware them when traveling in some of the worlds riskier locations, or if their has bean a credible threat. Hell there is even Ballistic Weave Evening Ware. They don't offer the same level of protection as Police or Military Armors but every bit helps.
The BAT suit is a combination of nomex and kevlar woven together with titanium and diamond interwoven for strength and durability and is constantly being upgraded with newer and experimental fabrics and compounds which possibly includes a minimized or micronized variant of Dragon Scale armor used in Military vehicles.
In the Superman vs Batman, Batman takes 2 shots at point blank range to the back of his head in the warehouse fight. I think his cowl can take gun fire but only low caliber fired from a pistol and not point blank range. They have bulletproof hoodies now a days made of a thin layer so I think the cowl has some protection. The bat symbol on his chest is a target to aim at the armor there is stronger and because he knows most people will aim for it he can move and adjust his body in response. His hands arms and boots have the highest armor. They take the most hits and are able to block knife, sword and bullet fire. The extra armor in those areas can be placed accurately without hindering his fingers or ankles from moving.
I think that the armor is likely graphene, which is waaaay more likely and logical that tire material. It's stronger than steel, and weighs less than Kevlar. The only downside to it is production costs which Bruce would have taken care of.
His cowl is armored, many photos were released showing the armor under his cowl bare with a twisted rubber mask on a desk next to it. That seems to show the metal cowl armor goes on first, and then the rubber overlays the metal armored cowl to give it the finished look. Probably because rubber doesn't reflect light hardly so makes it easier to hide in shadows then if his cowl was pure metal. His bat symbol is indeed one of his most armored points on his suit, its the reason his old versions had yellow symbols to draw attention from gunshots to his most protective point. Most if all suits if ever explained normally have this theory behind the symbol, even in the Arkham knight game, Arkham knight states the symbol is to draw attention to fire and tells his men to focus their shots to the joins when his armor is weaker (Well he says weakest, but I hardly find this the weakest point considering his mouth is a bigger target then a join in armor and definitely weaker as its bare skin) His suit, I would say definitely is not made of tire >.< A car tire/truck tire is insanely thicker than the suit otherwise the suit wouldn't be flexible at all if it was chunkier than a tire, try and stand on a car tire and twist/fold it on itself. Secondly, carbon fibre as well I wouldn't really say is plausible because even though it is strong and light, anyone who races cars professionally can tell you, carbon fibre when it actually does break, shatters like glass, yes it would give him a level of protection, but when it does break, the carbon fibre will actually increase the damage of whatever got through it, it would be like shrapnel within his body. The body is probably mostly guiding the main organs, symbol protects most of the lungs and heart, probably more protection around his kidneys and other weak places, and his head we have already discussed joints like elbows, knees, ankles and neck a probably moderately protected aswell for supporting his joins during extreme pressure, his forearms and shins I would say is armored enough to counter knifes or swords and the rest of his body is mostlikey just focused on mobility and light protection from blunt weapons or shock damage. Which should help avoid him becoming stunned or weakened after a hard blow.
The Batsuit is made of multiple weave Kevlar interwoven with Carbon nanotube fibers with carbon composites and light weight metal polymers its insulated against electricity, fire resistant and has a spinal brace that dampens impact forces and probably several other things im unaware of.
The whole thing could be like a thin layer of Kevlar reinforced with liquid body armor which is a sheer-thickening fluid that has been in development for a while but currently being announced. The liquid body armor is applied to kevlar and the way it works is that the chemical hardens At almost the exacts same point its impacted by a force. But a slow blade can penetrate the shield tho.
There should be three fabrics. Interwoven Webbing that reacts to sequenced movement patterns while under load. This is either constriction extensors for ribbing form factors or plyometric recoils requiring complex musculoskeletal actuation recruitment for catapult. Generally for jump to leaping and manoeuvre management. And no I'm saying little of the fibre composition other than it's expensive but that's minimal compared to the combat helmet and optical field visor modifications. Interlocking linked biodynamics. There's still quite the backlog yet to surface.
I think it's a nice marriage of the two! I was wrong, evidently, because in the actual film canon it is not tire material, but I think it isn't a bad notion to make a suit out of it!
Nah likely instead of this tire material it’s probably something like cordura nylon which is rubber coated or treated, it could also be cross woven with kevlar fabric or steel, even if it is skin tight you can fit a thin layer of slash proof kevlar under it so if not directly in the suit it’s likely under it, also perhaps a layer of polyurethane for stab resistance but that’s some theoretical speculation. As for the bat symbol, likely a lightweight titanium alloy of sorts but I don’t know what I’m particular it would be. Theoretically you could also just take a few kevlar layers and slap some rubberized coating in between them and put it on top which would make the whole ordeal a lot lighter but would stick out a bit more.
Batman v superman tech manual, awesome book, explains the suit quite well, tells you what the fabric is and explains the metal helmet he wears under the cowl, remember that guy that slices batman from the back of the head, it's that helmet he wears under, also has the goggles to see infrared and night vision, very similar to batman arkham games...
The Bat Symbol is a big target that's why it's there and his armor is the strongest there. In different versions his cowl is armor but can mostly only take small bullet hits. Might also damage his helmet tech. This movie version his helmet does get a steel plating. In the concept art he has some battle damaged art where you can see metal plating in his suit as well.
There is also a scene where Alfred is working on the voice modulator and you can see the interior skeleton of the cowl. It's made of some kind of metal so it's definitely reinforced and bulletproof. During the warehouse fight he takes several bullets to the head at point blank range and doesn't die
The ORIGINAL Batsuit in the comics was just a costume, but the bat symbol alone was bullet proof. That was the bat symbol with the yellow background. Batman argued that it stood out so enemies would be inclined to shoot right at the symbol, saving his life. Eventually the batsuit as a whole became bulletproof and armored, but I assume that modern Batman keeps that old logic, reinforcing the symbol. I mean, why not? When a normal person wears a bullet proof vest, they protect their chest. Too many vital organs there. Heart and lungs especially. That also came into play in TAS, when he went up against that guy who kept practicing that lethal strike that would go on the chest. Batman reinforced that location on his own suit when he saw a training dummy had been repeatedly struck right at that point. Kevlar is usually the agreed upon material that the Batsuit is mostly made out of. Thing is, Kevlar is built to stop lead by making it spread. Knives are made of steel, a much harder material, and can pierce through Kevlar like the fabric it is. Stab vests exist, and those can stop even hypodermic needles. In the real world, there do exist hybrid vests, which offer both bullet proof and stab proof capabilities, but those are because of armor plates within the vests that can help deflect bullets and knives. So to be truly protected, Batman would be weighed down by a Kevlar layer, a Stab vest layer, and various armor plates on the body. And that's all based on real life armor available to us normal people. That would explain how he could have weak points in his suit and be able to be stabbed in the right place, or a bullet effecting him more than it should. Considering all the moving about he has to do, he needs to find that balance of armor and agility. He does have stronger but bulkier Batsuits for specific jobs, like the thermal suit when he has to take on Freeze. Of course, being rich and on the bleeding edge of tech with Wayne Tech, he has access to prototypes and stuff we can only dream of. In the Arkham Asylum game, I believe his strongest suit available was said to be dipped in a prototype solution that made the fabric bulletproof and stab proof. So, yeah, comic book stuff. But other than that, one of the appeals of Batman is that his tech is grounded and feasible... to a degree. Armor has always been important to humanity, always going forward. You need protection, but also mobility, because otherwise you'd be stuck there and easy prey. In the superhero world, Batman has always been on that forefront.
Hey just watched your video again. I was wondering would you do what other comic book characters suit's are made of like Spider-Man, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Mask, The Crow, The Punisher, Daredevil, the X-men's suit's and many more?
I'm no expert but It takes more than one layer of Kevlar to stop a 9mm round like a minimum of 20 let alone enough to stop a .45acp or assault rifle rounds, which would be to bulky to wear all over and fight in. And a sweaty uncomfortable thin steel cored rubber material wouldn't stop a bullet either. As for the cowl .25" AR steel plate or military grade 38 titanium or grade 5 would probably stop most hand gun rounds. Mabey just chalk it up to some D.C. Comic book materials.
they said the Batman symbol on the new Batsuit is raised because it is bullet proof, but the suits in previous films that the Batsymbols are all raised as well. Plus i liked the Batsuit from the Christopher Nolan film the best, because the Batsuit was more realistic
batman has been shot, punched and hit on his head, the cowl is pretty durable. look up the arkham batmans cowl, this shows how he can have a super armored head but still have movments. also ever wonder why batgirl gets knocked out constantly?... well she aint got armor like batman, she just has tights.
it's confirmed that his suit is made out of Kevlar-titanium mix. Also, the tech manual of the movie shows that his head is also reinforced, that's how he was able to survive getting shot in the head
Has anybody heard of graphine? It's a crystal ladus making making it stronger than steel and kevlar (130,000 MPA). Its a flexible material and non-reactant, because it is a carbon-based sheet. All this info goes to film theory, in his Hitman episode.
What about the bit in the warehouse fight scene when batman gets shot point blank in the head and shows no sign of being affected and the bullet just bounces off?
He was shot point blank in the head in the warehouse scene and in the beginning when Alfred tests the voice modulator you can see the cowl without the rubber overlayer and its heavily armored and would need dampers in it too since being shot point blank armored or not would give you a concussion.
Reinforced with kevlar since DC has different types of armor like marvels vibranium and adimanitum. Plus kevlar is flexed too much it wont stay woven as tight. And tire could be something which would explain its still penetrable suit since the knife in one seen went through it (knives/arrows go through level 1-2 kevlar armor level 3 is military grade with ceramic plating) the cowl might be a graphine compound like the christopher nollan version
In the movie Xmen days of future past at the speed that quicksilver goes why dont his clothes burn or get ripped apart when he rescues Magneto from the pentagon jail cell passing all of those guards?
I tuned out the moment he says Kevlar is bullet 'proof' which indicates how deep his wiki-search went. I'm willing to hold back my "duh" when he says that its Kevlar but Kevlar and Kevlar vests are not bullet proof they are bullet resistant, able to stop hand gun bullets, sometimes even from close distances but from point blank range or larger weapons like machine guns or larger callibars then the protective nature of Kevlar and other bullet resistant materials vary. The is No such thing as Bullet proof, otherwise there wouldn't be a grading system for kevlar vests indicating what type of impact they were designed to withstand, from what range and with what chance of injury after.
In the comics batman uses a bullet proof vest for bullets '(dur) and a lycra suit with ceramyc plates for swords and arrow attacks just this 2 things and a cape made of kevlar, and in the mask have kevlar too
I read a lot of comics and every comic he said the same thing but Dick Grayson likes batman say the cape was made of kevlar On the new 52 batman appear putting the bullet proof In Robin v2 robin says about ceramyc plates (sorry my bad english)
I think the bat symbol is made out of either a ceramic or steel plate, just like the bullet resistant armor plates used by the military which are rated at level 4 which can stop rifle rounds and sometimes even armor piercing rounds.
@@techphile3262 hi, glad you asked picture reeds of wheat, netted tightly together. Kevlar is stiff but it looks like a skinny piece of wheat (just to give you a visual) these fibers are woven into 10’s and the tens, being as thick as yarn are woven by industrial machines to form usually a checker patterned sheet of Kevlar . These sheets are epoxied together, fully saturating the weave and formed into molds and cut to size. (Basic description) The flexible variant is also of epoxy, but a pliable variant. High quality Kevlar can even be as smooth as silk, especially if lightly sanded when in sheet form, and the flexible sections are not comfortable but comforting we shall say.
@@techphile3262 depends on the brand but about a half inch thickness of soft armor is the average. Maybe things have gotten better since my time in service. My Aviator Armor was soft. My ground armor was ESAPI plate.
So you didn't read the BvS tech manual, where they state exactly what each part of the suit is made from. Because you are mostly wrong, with the exception of the brass knuckles. The tech manual was made by the creators of the movie, and the entire suit is made of a carbon fiber tri-weave, with a titanium understructure in the cowl. I see you did no research for this video.
This is so dumb. There is 2 layers of Kevlar. It doesn’t look woven because of all the repairs. Plus thicker Kevlar isn’t woven like that. The bat symbol has a thin Steel titanium allow plate and a layer of Kevlar over it. The boots and gloves have a layer of Kevlar under them with a leather type of material on the outside with some small tactical metal plates in the fingers. His mask is armored with thin steel plates. And the outside has a thick rubber which is why he can’t move his head.
3:50 what you said makes absolutely no sense because your grammar sucks no offense. Kevlar is simply nylon based fibers woven in a specific pattern, and they are flexible. The law enforcement vest you showed was made of thickly-layered kevlar, to be more resistant. That was NOT a kevlar plate, as such thing doesn't really exist because kevlar is not rigid, its a fabric. Titanium woven nylon fiber also exists, as well as whats called carbo-tanium, a carbon fiber-titanium weave. Its used in Formula-1 Racing applications, and is also flexible.
How about carbon nanotubes for armor? Way lighter than kevlar, stronger, more flexible. Also the integrity of kevlar is usually compromised after stopping one bullet so it'd be difficult to trust it to take multiple shots safely
Got a weird question maybe not relevant but I'm Arkham asylum the Arkham knight not revealing cos spoilers he mentions that there's weak points at his shoulders and his symbol is the strongest points, do you think that his joints such as his elbows and shoulders etc. Are made from more elasticated compound than tyres allowing a more greater range of movement??
John Reece that is from the old movie dude, this is a completely different suit. Not to mention modern body armor isn't anywhere near batman v superman, or even the Nolan suits. Simply because people don't want to spend the money on it.
His head is armoured, they show Alfred working on it. He gets shot in the head. The suit and the symbol are the same material, you have only to look closely to see that. Did you even watch the movie?
It's probably made of Dyneema an Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. It would be about 15 times stronger than the steel, yet stll moldable, it can withstand significant explosions and extreme weather conditions. It's very lightweight and water buoyant and chemical resistant.
So Kevlar, Rubber, Plastic Compound that enforces his striking abilities and grants great flexibilty? Okay I agree. It sounds realistically good enough.
Triweave titanium coated armoured plating, nice…unless you know exactly where to shoot
Hugh Warner goddamit jason!!
Hugh Warner ayy I play batman to
Hugh f*cking Jason..
never weekdays
Hugh uhm shhhh those guys aren't harvard scholars, it will take time for them to figure out lol
The overall suit is a kevlar/titanium weave. The cowl has a titanium shell with articulated plates in the neck. That is the official description. As the suit has a form, even when not worn, hinting that while the suit is flexible, has a strongly formed material.
We've seen in the movie that the suit and the cool are bullet proof against handgun fire even at point blank range, even the arms which might be the thinnest parts of the suit. But he took out the assault rifles with some tec devise which may lead to the conculussion that the suit can withstand bullets out if pistols and revovlers but not out of rifles and submachine guns. He also got stabbed in the arm and the knife could penetrate the suit which may lead to the conclussion that the suit is more build to withstand bullets than knives or other edged weapons, which makes since Batman is a great martial artist and since he uses his gauntlets as a defense against edged weapons
The knife never penetrated the suit even a knife got deflected when stabbed at his neck. The suit's knife proof. The suit is likely bulletproof to assault rifles.
Yes it did...you clearly see him get stabbed in the left shoulder/upper arm area while being on the ground that's at the 1:47:53 mark of the theatrical version...actually you hear him scream.
He clearly pulls the knife out of this arm in the next scene at the 1:47:59 mark.
You see the knife being deflected earlier in the fight but 1. the knife got defelcted by the cowl not the suit, 2. the dude with that knife did a slashing move while the guy that 1:47:53 mark did a stabbing move.
When the suit is proof against assult rifles why bother and waste curcial time and tech to take the assault rifles out of the fight. As said before it's totally reasonable to asume that the cowl and the bat symbol are the best armored parts of his suit the cowl protecting his head and the symbol his heart and a large part of his lung.
thecaliforniakid Yet there was no blood when being stabbed. Thick padding still stopped the knife, likely the first layer being penetrated. His suit mostly resisted bullets yet what makes a knife being able to produce more force than a bullet. There wasn't blood on the knife either as well. I don't tend to use the theatrical version but ultimate edition. He only makes a grunt due to the pressure of knife, pressuring on the other layer of suit. Though almost irrelevant his comic book counter part once had his ribs being to crack by bullets not because of the bullets penetrating the armor but due to the pressure force.
Watch again it was behind his neck he got stabbed not in the head since he has a metal helmet underneath his cowl/head. The thugs did attempted to stab and slash but ended up getting deflected by his gauntlets which batman in a lot of incarnations try to use offensively against blades weapons.
In the scene a guy actually started firing his assault rifle against batman until he got pulled by the batclaw.You shouldn't jump into the conclusion his suit isn't bulletproof against assault rifles just because he tries avoid them. Does the same thing apply to wonder woman when use deflects the WWI weapons instead of tanking them. Most of the heavily armed guy are front of the door, it'll be much easier to take them all out with explosive for batman to deal with lesser thugs when engaging in close quarters combat. Getting shot by everyone and getting overwhelmed in the warehouse isn't a better option.
It's not reasonable to assume that the symbol and cowl are the most protective areas, this is DCEU batman who's irrelevant too the comics. Comic logics don't apply to films, the cowl might seem more protective since it's metal underneath. The bat symbol being the most protective spot seem assumption and only applies to the arkhams series and comics.
You seem to have no idea how kevlar works...kevlarstops bullets by spreading the impact of the bullet across a larger area the blade of a knife can slip between the threats of the kevlar. Also bullets are made of lead knifes are made of steel which is a much harder material. However this argument is over you stated the knife didn't penetrate the suit which it clarly did.
Yeah it was the neck not the head but it still was the area protected by the cowl...nitpicking won't make you're statement more true.
And again it was a slashing movement not a stabbing movment just take a kitchen knife and an old phone book and just look what does more damage and what penetrates deeper.
It is a reasonable assumption that the cowl and symbol are the most protective spots of the suit (regardless if it is true or not) brain, heart, and lung are the must vital organs which means they're the organs someone would most likley protect the most.
I don't see why comic logic wouldn't apply to the film since we all are speculating here.
in that warehouse scene one of the goons shoots Batman point blank in the head, twice, so i think the cowl is preatty armored, maybe the skull part of the cowl is actually a metal helmet.
skywolf23
well, the helmet could work like that of norman knights, a padded cap, a chainmail coif and a metal helmet on top of it, same principle, padding underneath, metal helmet and a rubber cowl covering all. As for the suit, it could be plate armor, the plates cover individually the main mucle groups, like pecs, abs, making the wearer look even more muscular than he actually is, and are sandwiched between layers of strong fabric.
skywolf23 As seen in Daredevil Season 2, Matt get's shot in the head but the Daredevil cowl stopped the bullet from penetrating but it did give him a massive headache.
skywolf23 Thwip thwip.
Actually, more likely the helmet/cowl is made of some type of a type of woven super strong material like Kevlar or Twaron (names of aramid fibers) which modern combat helmets are made of.
@ARX 351 Actually the Cowl is armoured... It is basically Titanium Skeletal helmet with additional outer layer of strong material... We can see Alfred working on this in the extended version of the movie!!!
It's made out of plot armor.
Lamani Santiago the plot armor whats made of?
Alterate Awful plotness
Plot Armor Lol!
Alterate Awful its made out of ‘’main character’’
Lol
It's something I hoped the video would mention but I guess I'll do it myself. Batman's cowl and gauntlets in the DCEU are bullet and knife-proof due to a titanium understructure. The suit (as I've come to learn in my recent endeavors) is actually made out of a carbon fiber tri-weave. Said tri-weave is very flexible and resistant to most conditions. It is resistant to knife slashes but can't do much if the sharp point actually makes contact with force. So the gauntlets, symbol and cowl are bullet-proof but the suit itself exists to maximize movement speed while providing some form of protection.
James Lewis Source? I can't find it.
If I'm correct its called the tech behind BvS. It's a book. As for the titanium understructure its visible in the film itself. I got some of the information from Cinemawins' Everything great about Batman v Superman (Ultimate Edition). I read up on some properties of Carbon fiber tri-weave (which I found out about via cinemawins). As for the bat symbol I found out about that here.
James Lewis So that explains why they are able to stab him in the movie
James Lewis Are you talking about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice--Tech Manual?
his head IS armored. in that fight scene, he took a gun shot to the head point blank and it didn't kill him. what i find funny, is that few seconds later in that same fight scene, someone stabbed him in the chest with a knife and it did pierce
maybe it was only shown in the Ultimate Edition but it did happen.
Javier Richtofen my friend even freaking batman can't survive a stab to the chest, but if you look closely it wasnt the chest area it was near the shoulder, and it was shown in both editions of the movie
Javier Richtofen he also stated that the cape is probably made of the same material as the suit..... if that was true then how does the cape allow batman to glide
Going off of the movie, it would seem that all the black parts of his suit were especially armored. He withstood a point blank shot to the head and he blocked a bullet with his glove just after the grapnel was shot out of his hand.
Javier Richtofen it can survive cuts not stabs apparently
According to the comics themselves, Kevlar, Nomex, and a bit of titanium tri-weave fibers. Also, the Chestpiece is the strongest part of the suit. the cowl is also reinforced with Kevlar. This comes from the Batman definitive guide illustrated book from DC and Todd McFarlane.
Wayne Igoe titanium dipped triweave * the dipped makes a lot of difference
The suit is made of a technical carbon fiber tri-weave which creates a protective bodysuit. The suit is mostly bulletproof and knife proof. HOWEVER not in between joints for flexibility purposes. Just like when the thug in bvs stabbed him in between his shoulder and chest joint and when that other thug was shooting at batman he was hitting the armored pieces. Its like john wicks suit pistols won't penetrate his body armor and it is quite painful to resist the impact but armor piercing rounds or straight calibers will not work. The cowl has a bulletproof flexible titanium shell in the top of Bruce's head. Also like how that thug kept shooting bruce in the head. He can turn his head and doesn't have to do a bat turn. They designed it that way.
@@ClaytonPZ I know I’m late to the party, but does anyone know what a Batman suit would look like/be made out of it was in the late 70s, early 80s?
@@CharZy-y8v In The Dark Knight Returns, which was in the 80's, his suit is just spandex. He has the chest symbol armored since he says it acts as a target for criminals to shoot at but other than that it's just clothes. He only got a tech-y, bulletproof suit in more modern times as firepower started to become better and more readily available. It's easy to think a guy with lots of training could take out dudes with revolvers in just a regular suit, but you gotta have body armor to take on a room of guys with AK's or M4's or something. I personally prefer Batfleck's suit because it doesn't look like an Iron Man suit but it is still reinforced to make him bulletproof. Kind of the best of both worlds
The tri weave fiber allows Batman to be more flexible while the Kevlar combine with Nomex gives him endurance. So area where he’s flexible that’s where the tri weave fibers are. Not to mention tri weave fibers don’t give you protection against bullets or even knives.
How many miles do you think the Batsuit will get?
20 years at max on the streets of Gotham, can’t beat that.😂
Too bad it's not like the Arkham knight materials. Tri weave titanium fibers over a waynetech MR fluid liquid body armor
A more metal suit WOULD probably be better! The only issue is weight, but it depends on how much you're used to lifting!
GhostSniper I like this cuz it's more in tune to the comics and you can see the muscles like every suit in the comics
@@FireplaysMC batman is pretty strong I think he should be able to hold the weight but he is pretty fast without it
@@FireplaysMC What is the Batsuit called in the thumbnail?
@@FireplaysMC Titanium is reasonably light though.
You have terrible eye sight. The batsuit is made out of a fibrous material in a twill or harness satin weave. It's probably a mix of Kevlar, m5 fiber, carbon nanotubes, and reinforced with stf padding made to look like muscles. The cowl is also shown and proven to be made of titanium alloy covered in a rubber like material. His suit is designed to look like a normal body suit on top of a extremely buff frame, when in reality Bruce is not very big in the movie, and it's actually bulletproof and stab proof in most areas except for joints like when he was stabbed in the shoulder in the movie. Kevlar is a brand name of an aramid material, it is made by multiple different producers, in many different countries. The bat symbol on his chest is obviously going to be the strongest part of the suit because that is just batman lore, it is probably made out of a ceramic like material covered in a composite version of the same material used for the rest of the suit, and impregnated with a carbon nanotube resin or something bleeding edge like that.
It could also be made of a metallic glass or a metallic foam instead of a ceramic. That would actually work better and make more sense.
jordan secrist Did you not read the BvS tech manual. It is made of a carbon fiber tri-weave, with a titanium understructure in the cowl. This guy is wrong.
bill bill I cannot believe they honestly try and say that his suit is made out of trilateral carbon fiber fabric. That is ridiculous. That wouldn't stop a single bullet, and it wouldn't stop any knife either, unless it was modified with some high tech flexible resin or maybe sheer thickening fluid, but even then I have my doubts. I wish they would have thought about this a little more before coming to that conclusion. This really upsets me if it's true. When i glanced through the technical manual I didn't see the carbon fiber triweave part. However I did see the titanium cowl. Maybe this batsuit is more about being extremely light weight rather than protective. Which would make him more like the original batman before they started giving him high tech armor.
jordan secrist Well, the suit was shown being stabbed through, so I guess they wanted a more confident Batman, meaning that he wouldn't wear the heavy armor Bale did, just him having the skills to not be hurt.
Are you talking about the DK or begins Nolan because DK armor looks like a biker jacket and I hate the look. And why the fuck did they try to sneak in that carbon fiber tri-weave suit from Arkham Knight??? They probably are just lazy af to be honest

Kevlar is NOT 100% bulletproof
Have you heard of non-Newtonian fluid? it's actually a liquid, but if you walk fast, you wont sink. Kinda of a quick sand but denser. That's a direction I think in for batsuit. Although not in liquid but in firm state. If you put something in water slowly it goes in easily, no resistance, but, the higher the speed the more resistant is the surface of the water, if you jump from high enough, falling in water would be as falling on a concrete. So, we know Bruce Wayne is rich and has access to all sorts of technology and gadgets, I would say batsuit is made out of some fabric that is elastic and comfortable when its moved slowly, but react in ways such as water or non-Newtonian fluid when something (bullet) hits in in high speed, it denses up. You know that little thing, that "finger trap" (sorry can't remember the name) where you easily put to fingers in a little tunnel like toy but can't extract them cause the more you pull the more it grabs? Something like that. That would explain Batfleck's easy movement and being bulletproof
Batmans whole suit is made out of reinforced kevlar + rubber material resistant to electricity & steals momentum from incoming projectiles propelling the object's velocity in a different direction meaning the bullets do not even penetrate his suit but just bounce off
its also acid and fire resistant
Realest Out that's the dark knight presentation of that suit but this one is heck of a flexible material

Carbon Nanotubes: Because of their excellent tensile strength, they could potentially be used in the future for bullet resistant armor. However they are expensive because they are hard to make with current technology, but since Bruce Wayne is super rich so he could probably buy enough for a suit. He's also super smart so he might have figured out a way to mass produce them.

A lot of people have pointed out that it's a kevlar/titanium weave suit, but I like your idea, as well!
thanks!!
No problem! :)Jason Sautner
but, with metal in the suit, how can he glide with that small cape
+David Nguyen how is he supposed to glide with a giant tire for a chest piece. And it's not small, it all folded up
Kevlar wrapped nanocarbon threads woven back into itself to allow for greater flexibility and durability, and with a covering of an electrothermal resistant polymer possibly also waterproof.

Jumpy killlerQx
Sure! What of?
The chest body armor of batman wears you speak of I dont think its is full on kevlar.
He's good at material science so I think he made is own advanced synthetic polymer. The suits has been worn for over 20 years and has pretty much remained unchanged that's why all the wear and tear and scratches on it cuz it's meant to be his go to suit that's just straight up reliable like is grappling gun. His and robins gauntlets are some type of metal. So I think it's something that no one knows about. He was takin automatic weapons and hand guns repeatedly so I think it's something we don't know and that it's actually really advanced to be able to go throughout the years while others weren't even and still not caught up to it.
yeah but you forgot in the warehouse scene a thug tries to stab him in the neck and there were sparks
Really? Jeez, I gotta look closer at these things! I thought only the gloves were able to deflect the knives. Good eye!
the guy shoots him in the back of the head , that is what causes the sparks, Zak Snyder said that the cowel could withstand handgun fire
cowl
Colakat22 your cool
Um...no for one major reason. tire material burns rather easily. which would be the death of Batman in more then one bvs fight.
U forgot everything else: gauntlets, boots, and tech underneath. dude
I like the dark knight suit. It is one of the best movies of all time tbh. It is the most realistic. The other ones are more fiction
This is my favorite video on your channel. I don't know why.
I'd put my money on a Kevlar/titanium weave over a synthetic rubber/nomax base. it would have be made breathable to allow for ease of movement and temperature control. A better question: what's his cape made out of? It needs to be light enough not to drag his movements, and it didn't seem to offer any gliding or protection capabilities
The thing you've overlooked, if your hypothesis is true, is how much the suit would ultimately weigh. Batman's supposed to be far stronger than the strongest man on earth already, but if your theory is correct, his suit would likely weigh over a hundred pounds alone. Can you really see him jumping and flying around the way he does carrying that much extra weight, on top of all his gadgets, not to mention his heavy physique?
According to the DC COMICS EXTENDED UNIVERSE WIKI, The batsuit is made up of a technical carbon fiber tri-weave which protects him against low caliber firearms.
tri weave titanium fibers with nomex and magnetic fluid within the underlayer which absorbs a ton of kinetic energy directed at it. its even in the cowl, where bats takes point blank rounds to the head(way to ruin ur freeflow combo) without bats having a major headache.
There's more likely two layers to that suit. The inner layer could be a plated armour, similar to the one in The Dark Knight just with more mobility/flexibility. The top layer could be a "shirt" made of Kevlar weave fabric fused into the main suit. Here's how.
Notice that Batfleck got stabbed right around the top joint of his arm, you can't have plates in that spot because you need to move. Seeing how Batman casually (rather angrily) walked it off indicated that the knife didn't penetrate enough to cause any serious damage, so it's gotta be Kevlar weave.
In the shot of the suit's on the shelf (when he's not wearing it), it has elevations in the chests and other major muscle areas and wrinkles around them, indicating there's a Kevlar/titanium plate armour beneath the first layer.
I’m getting used to the grey, I miss the black but the voice changer was so dope!
The batsuit has been claimed to be made from titanium reinforced kelvar, all the way to kelvar reinforced with carbon nanotubes and other metal polymers. In short as science progresses so do the items used for the batsuit, for all we know his next suit could have vanta-black added to it (allthough the material is really prone to damage) to make it extra extra stealthy since its absorbs more than 99% of the light that drops on it.
Different batsuits, years of research, different weights, levels of armor. One batsuit would be a misnomer in comics at least..
depends on how many layers of Kevlar you have as to how flexible it is, the suit could be Kevlar, with the number of layers in the symbol being increased to a point it losses the flexibility he needs for the rest of the body. more layers more protection but less flexibility. an other possibility is instead of extra layers of Kevlar is the Bat Symbol has a semi ridged armor laminate between the layers of Kevlar.
You can buy Suits and Overcoats that integrate Kevlar, World Leaders, Diplomats & Executives and the people on their protection details ware them when traveling in some of the worlds riskier locations, or if their has bean a credible threat. Hell there is even Ballistic Weave Evening Ware. They don't offer the same level of protection as Police or Military Armors but every bit helps.
The BAT suit is a combination of nomex and kevlar woven together with titanium and diamond interwoven for strength and durability and is constantly being upgraded with newer and experimental fabrics and compounds which possibly includes a minimized or micronized variant of Dragon Scale armor used in Military vehicles.
In the Superman vs Batman, Batman takes 2 shots at point blank range to the back of his head in the warehouse fight. I think his cowl can take gun fire but only low caliber fired from a pistol and not point blank range. They have bulletproof hoodies now a days made of a thin layer so I think the cowl has some protection. The bat symbol on his chest is a target to aim at the armor there is stronger and because he knows most people will aim for it he can move and adjust his body in response. His hands arms and boots have the highest armor. They take the most hits and are able to block knife, sword and bullet fire. The extra armor in those areas can be placed accurately without hindering his fingers or ankles from moving.
He lost all credibility when he said Lex Luthor was the 2nd best part of BVS.
cgarciahfcu It's his opinion.
cgarciahfcu it was absolutely the worst portrayal of lex ever
R B and that’s your opinion
Ironic name. No it’s just a fact
I think that the armor is likely graphene, which is waaaay more likely and logical that tire material. It's stronger than steel, and weighs less than Kevlar. The only downside to it is production costs which Bruce would have taken care of.
His cowl is armored, many photos were released showing the armor under his cowl bare with a twisted rubber mask on a desk next to it. That seems to show the metal cowl armor goes on first, and then the rubber overlays the metal armored cowl to give it the finished look. Probably because rubber doesn't reflect light hardly so makes it easier to hide in shadows then if his cowl was pure metal.
His bat symbol is indeed one of his most armored points on his suit, its the reason his old versions had yellow symbols to draw attention from gunshots to his most protective point. Most if all suits if ever explained normally have this theory behind the symbol, even in the Arkham knight game, Arkham knight states the symbol is to draw attention to fire and tells his men to focus their shots to the joins when his armor is weaker (Well he says weakest, but I hardly find this the weakest point considering his mouth is a bigger target then a join in armor and definitely weaker as its bare skin)
His suit, I would say definitely is not made of tire >.< A car tire/truck tire is insanely thicker than the suit otherwise the suit wouldn't be flexible at all if it was chunkier than a tire, try and stand on a car tire and twist/fold it on itself. Secondly, carbon fibre as well I wouldn't really say is plausible because even though it is strong and light, anyone who races cars professionally can tell you, carbon fibre when it actually does break, shatters like glass, yes it would give him a level of protection, but when it does break, the carbon fibre will actually increase the damage of whatever got through it, it would be like shrapnel within his body.
The body is probably mostly guiding the main organs, symbol protects most of the lungs and heart, probably more protection around his kidneys and other weak places, and his head we have already discussed joints like elbows, knees, ankles and neck a probably moderately protected aswell for supporting his joins during extreme pressure, his forearms and shins I would say is armored enough to counter knifes or swords and the rest of his body is mostlikey just focused on mobility and light protection from blunt weapons or shock damage. Which should help avoid him becoming stunned or weakened after a hard blow.
Have any of you considered that the suit provides just the right amount of protection to serve a particular purpose or point in the story?
The Batsuit is made of multiple weave Kevlar interwoven with Carbon nanotube fibers with carbon composites and light weight metal polymers its insulated against electricity, fire resistant and has a spinal brace that dampens impact forces and probably several other things im unaware of.
The whole thing could be like a thin layer of Kevlar reinforced with liquid body armor which is a sheer-thickening fluid that has been in development for a while but currently being announced. The liquid body armor is applied to kevlar and the way it works is that the chemical hardens At almost the exacts same point its impacted by a force. But a slow blade can penetrate the shield tho.
There should be three fabrics. Interwoven Webbing that reacts to sequenced movement patterns while under load. This is either constriction extensors for ribbing form factors or plyometric recoils requiring complex musculoskeletal actuation recruitment for catapult. Generally for jump to leaping and manoeuvre management.
And no I'm saying little of the fibre composition other than it's expensive but that's minimal compared to the combat helmet and optical field visor modifications. Interlocking linked biodynamics.
There's still quite the backlog yet to surface.
Robin Paterson why dont you have your own channel lol
Wait... Someone who actually gets how the movie is about realism and not about being some stupid adventure film? I think I love you, sir
I think it's a nice marriage of the two! I was wrong, evidently, because in the actual film canon it is not tire material, but I think it isn't a bad notion to make a suit out of it!
HOW HEAVY DO YOU THINK THE SUIT IS?! TOO HEAVY AND WITH THAT SILLY CAPE AND BATMAN CAN FORGET DOING PARKOUR, ACROBATICS AND DODGING BULLETS!!!!
Nah likely instead of this tire material it’s probably something like cordura nylon which is rubber coated or treated, it could also be cross woven with kevlar fabric or steel, even if it is skin tight you can fit a thin layer of slash proof kevlar under it so if not directly in the suit it’s likely under it, also perhaps a layer of polyurethane for stab resistance but that’s some theoretical speculation. As for the bat symbol, likely a lightweight titanium alloy of sorts but I don’t know what I’m particular it would be. Theoretically you could also just take a few kevlar layers and slap some rubberized coating in between them and put it on top which would make the whole ordeal a lot lighter but would stick out a bit more.
Batman v superman tech manual, awesome book, explains the suit quite well, tells you what the fabric is and explains the metal helmet he wears under the cowl, remember that guy that slices batman from the back of the head, it's that helmet he wears under, also has the goggles to see infrared and night vision, very similar to batman arkham games...
The Bat Symbol is a big target that's why it's there and his armor is the strongest there. In different versions his cowl is armor but can mostly only take small bullet hits. Might also damage his helmet tech. This movie version his helmet does get a steel plating. In the concept art he has some battle damaged art where you can see metal plating in his suit as well.
There is also a scene where Alfred is working on the voice modulator and you can see the interior skeleton of the cowl. It's made of some kind of metal so it's definitely reinforced and bulletproof. During the warehouse fight he takes several bullets to the head at point blank range and doesn't die
The ORIGINAL Batsuit in the comics was just a costume, but the bat symbol alone was bullet proof. That was the bat symbol with the yellow background. Batman argued that it stood out so enemies would be inclined to shoot right at the symbol, saving his life. Eventually the batsuit as a whole became bulletproof and armored, but I assume that modern Batman keeps that old logic, reinforcing the symbol. I mean, why not? When a normal person wears a bullet proof vest, they protect their chest. Too many vital organs there. Heart and lungs especially. That also came into play in TAS, when he went up against that guy who kept practicing that lethal strike that would go on the chest. Batman reinforced that location on his own suit when he saw a training dummy had been repeatedly struck right at that point.
Kevlar is usually the agreed upon material that the Batsuit is mostly made out of. Thing is, Kevlar is built to stop lead by making it spread. Knives are made of steel, a much harder material, and can pierce through Kevlar like the fabric it is. Stab vests exist, and those can stop even hypodermic needles.
In the real world, there do exist hybrid vests, which offer both bullet proof and stab proof capabilities, but those are because of armor plates within the vests that can help deflect bullets and knives. So to be truly protected, Batman would be weighed down by a Kevlar layer, a Stab vest layer, and various armor plates on the body. And that's all based on real life armor available to us normal people. That would explain how he could have weak points in his suit and be able to be stabbed in the right place, or a bullet effecting him more than it should.
Considering all the moving about he has to do, he needs to find that balance of armor and agility. He does have stronger but bulkier Batsuits for specific jobs, like the thermal suit when he has to take on Freeze. Of course, being rich and on the bleeding edge of tech with Wayne Tech, he has access to prototypes and stuff we can only dream of. In the Arkham Asylum game, I believe his strongest suit available was said to be dipped in a prototype solution that made the fabric bulletproof and stab proof. So, yeah, comic book stuff. But other than that, one of the appeals of Batman is that his tech is grounded and feasible... to a degree.
Armor has always been important to humanity, always going forward. You need protection, but also mobility, because otherwise you'd be stuck there and easy prey. In the superhero world, Batman has always been on that forefront.
Hey just watched your video again. I was wondering would you do what other comic book characters suit's are made of like Spider-Man, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Mask, The Crow, The Punisher, Daredevil, the X-men's suit's and many more?
I'm no expert but It takes more than one layer of Kevlar to stop a 9mm round like a minimum of 20 let alone enough to stop a .45acp or assault rifle rounds, which would be to bulky to wear all over and fight in. And a sweaty uncomfortable thin steel cored rubber material wouldn't stop a bullet either. As for the cowl .25" AR steel plate or military grade 38 titanium or grade 5 would probably stop most hand gun rounds. Mabey just chalk it up to some D.C. Comic book materials.
intro is looking quite similar to Film Theory... just saying
Start4am EXACTLY!
they said the Batman symbol on the new Batsuit is raised because it is bullet proof, but the suits in previous films that the Batsymbols are all raised as well. Plus i liked the Batsuit from the Christopher Nolan film the best, because the Batsuit was more realistic
The suit is made of plot armor.
5:22 Rubber is an AMAZING movie about a tire that kills people.
I need you to do a video on Black Lightning’s new nanotech suit...
One more reason I love the dark knight trilogy the whole armor was bullet proof
batman has been shot, punched and hit on his head, the cowl is pretty durable.
look up the arkham batmans cowl, this shows how he can have a super armored head but still have movments.
also ever wonder why batgirl gets knocked out constantly?... well she aint got armor like batman, she just has tights.
depends on the version but usually titanium tri-eave is most likely as its usually mentioned in both comics and movies
it's confirmed that his suit is made out of Kevlar-titanium mix. Also, the tech manual of the movie shows that his head is also reinforced, that's how he was able to survive getting shot in the head
In appearance, the overall suit looks like bond-o, or fiberglass strips used in making casts. =)
My tire was just popped by a nail on the ground so tired aren't bullet proof
Has anybody heard of graphine? It's a crystal ladus making making it stronger than steel and kevlar (130,000 MPA). Its a flexible material and non-reactant, because it is a carbon-based sheet. All this info goes to film theory, in his Hitman episode.
i think Bale's Batman did use graphite for his cowl
Mind giving me a link?
What about the bit in the warehouse fight scene when batman gets shot point blank in the head and shows no sign of being affected and the bullet just bounces off?
He was shot point blank in the head in the warehouse scene and in the beginning when Alfred tests the voice modulator you can see the cowl without the rubber overlayer and its heavily armored and would need dampers in it too since being shot point blank armored or not would give you a concussion.
He sounds so much like pinky
u liked lex 😂😂😂
Reinforced with kevlar since DC has different types of armor like marvels vibranium and adimanitum. Plus kevlar is flexed too much it wont stay woven as tight. And tire could be something which would explain its still penetrable suit since the knife in one seen went through it (knives/arrows go through level 1-2 kevlar armor level 3 is military grade with ceramic plating) the cowl might be a graphine compound like the christopher nollan version
In the movie Xmen days of future past at the speed that quicksilver goes why dont his clothes burn or get ripped apart when he rescues Magneto from the pentagon jail cell passing all of those guards?
I don’t like the justice league suit but yours drawing of it makes me love it
the batsuit is 100% from The Dark Knight Returns
I tuned out the moment he says Kevlar is bullet 'proof' which indicates how deep his wiki-search went. I'm willing to hold back my "duh" when he says that its Kevlar but Kevlar and Kevlar vests are not bullet proof they are bullet resistant, able to stop hand gun bullets, sometimes even from close distances but from point blank range or larger weapons like machine guns or larger callibars then the protective nature of Kevlar and other bullet resistant materials vary. The is No such thing as Bullet proof, otherwise there wouldn't be a grading system for kevlar vests indicating what type of impact they were designed to withstand, from what range and with what chance of injury after.
Titanium micro weave
In the comics batman uses a bullet proof vest for bullets '(dur) and a lycra suit with ceramyc plates for swords and arrow attacks just this 2 things and a cape made of kevlar, and in the mask have kevlar too
Which suit was that? I know there's been a ton of variations on it, but that one sounds interesting!
I read a lot of comics and every comic he said the same thing but
Dick Grayson likes batman say the cape was made of kevlar
On the new 52 batman appear putting the bullet proof
In Robin v2 robin says about ceramyc plates (sorry my bad english)
CravePlays
It's no biggie! :) And cool, thanks for letting me know!
woah!
Its a bird
its batman
No its tireman
You were talking about the cowl not being armored, he said in the movie it was lined with Titanium.
The cowl is shown to have Titanium reinforcement I believe. I saw a picture from someone. I love this video, I see a future UA-cam channel
Realistically he’d probably change the Kevlar for something else since Kevlar is weak to moisture
I think this was a great video but I think you made a mistake claiming Kevlar is “bulletproof”.
I think the bat symbol is made out of either a ceramic or steel plate, just like the bullet resistant armor plates used by the military which are rated at level 4 which can stop rifle rounds and sometimes even armor piercing rounds.
Kevlar can come in flexible as well as rigid. I have worked with both.
Really?? But how tho .
@@techphile3262 hi, glad you asked picture reeds of wheat, netted tightly together. Kevlar is stiff but it looks like a skinny piece of wheat (just to give you a visual) these fibers are woven into 10’s and the tens, being as thick as yarn are woven by industrial machines to form usually a checker patterned sheet of Kevlar . These sheets are epoxied together, fully saturating the weave and formed into molds and cut to size. (Basic description) The flexible variant is also of epoxy, but a pliable variant. High quality Kevlar can even be as smooth as silk, especially if lightly sanded when in sheet form, and the flexible sections are not comfortable but comforting we shall say.
@@ScottAT so u are saying it takes like up to 20 or more layers of kevlar to be effective enough to stop a bullet from a handgun ??
@@techphile3262 depends on the brand but about a half inch thickness of soft armor is the average. Maybe things have gotten better since my time in service.
My Aviator Armor was soft. My ground armor was ESAPI plate.
The new batman suit looks so rubbery. But somehow works on the sliver screen
So you didn't read the BvS tech manual, where they state exactly what each part of the suit is made from. Because you are mostly wrong, with the exception of the brass knuckles. The tech manual was made by the creators of the movie, and the entire suit is made of a carbon fiber tri-weave, with a titanium understructure in the cowl. I see you did no research for this video.
Around the 2:00 when you can hear the track, what's that track called?
It's Batman's theme from BVS. Here's a link: ua-cam.com/video/BgKj8mdlhmA/v-deo.html
Zekey Boy Beautiful Lie by Hans Zimmer
This is so dumb. There is 2 layers of Kevlar. It doesn’t look woven because of all the repairs. Plus thicker Kevlar isn’t woven like that. The bat symbol has a thin Steel titanium allow plate and a layer of Kevlar over it. The boots and gloves have a layer of Kevlar under them with a leather type of material on the outside with some small tactical metal plates in the fingers. His mask is armored with thin steel plates. And the outside has a thick rubber which is why he can’t move his head.
see I like this guy he knows Wat he's talkin about has great taste in movies and knows his comics cool guy
3:50 what you said makes absolutely no sense because your grammar sucks no offense. Kevlar is simply nylon based fibers woven in a specific pattern, and they are flexible. The law enforcement vest you showed was made of thickly-layered kevlar, to be more resistant. That was NOT a kevlar plate, as such thing doesn't really exist because kevlar is not rigid, its a fabric. Titanium woven nylon fiber also exists, as well as whats called carbo-tanium, a carbon fiber-titanium weave. Its used in Formula-1 Racing applications, and is also flexible.
How about carbon nanotubes for armor? Way lighter than kevlar, stronger, more flexible. Also the integrity of kevlar is usually compromised after stopping one bullet so it'd be difficult to trust it to take multiple shots safely
Wtf? You LIKED Jesse Eisenberg in this movie?? Are you high?
Mechno lol I know.. it's like voting for trump for a brighter future
darthclone7 that is also a terrible idea.
Mechno eisenberg was lit
He was fantastic, he was the first truly scary batman. That's a part of batman most people seem to forget, he's scary af
Brian Mfogham Jesse Eisenberg wasn't batman....
linex?
1:17 I made the same comparrison when I saw the trailer ages ago xD I was like "that looks just like a scene from The Dark Knight Returns!"
Got a weird question maybe not relevant but I'm Arkham asylum the Arkham knight not revealing cos spoilers he mentions that there's weak points at his shoulders and his symbol is the strongest points, do you think that his joints such as his elbows and shoulders etc. Are made from more elasticated compound than tyres allowing a more greater range of movement??
did u try making a substance by mixing kerbar & tyre material?
For me the cinematic universe batsuit will always be made from ''hardened kevlar plates over titanium dipped tri-weave fibers"...
I thought that the batsuits pattern was maybe chain-male but with fabric over it
Finally some director understands that wearing Armor has a purpose
The intro is almost like game theory
It's a Kevlar and nomex biweave reinforced with ceramic and graphite plates. Much like a modern soldier's battle rig.
John Reece that is from the old movie dude, this is a completely different suit. Not to mention modern body armor isn't anywhere near batman v superman, or even the Nolan suits. Simply because people don't want to spend the money on it.
His head is armoured, they show Alfred working on it. He gets shot in the head. The suit and the symbol are the same material, you have only to look closely to see that. Did you even watch the movie?
It's probably made of Dyneema an Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene. It would be about 15 times stronger than the steel, yet stll moldable, it can withstand significant explosions and extreme weather conditions. It's very lightweight and water buoyant and chemical resistant.
So Kevlar, Rubber, Plastic Compound that enforces his striking abilities and grants great flexibilty? Okay I agree. It sounds realistically good enough.
