Professional concept artist Jerad S. Marantz (X-Men: Apocalypse, Captain America: Civil War) has updated his official website with a trio of designs for Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice that solely focus on The Dark Knight’s Mech Batsuit.
In order to go toe-to-toe with the Man of Steel (Henry Cavill), Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) wore an armored Batsuit — inspired by the power-suit Batman wore in Frank Miller’s 1986 four-issue comic book mini-series, The Dark Knight Returns— and used grenades that discharged smoke laced with kryptonite. The suit featured luminescent lenses to conceal/protect his eyes and added more power to his punches, allowing him to hit Superman with 1,420 pounds of force.
