Ben Affleck as Batman

As 2014 creeps up on us and principal photography for Batman vs. Superman is expected to begin in earnest soon, it’s no surprise that the speculation around the film has been reaching a fever pitch.As Warner Bros. are hard at work finishing up the script and getting together the look and feel of the world, rumors have been flying for weeks now about just how the company might handle Batman.The most commercially-successful superhero in their library, Batman is nevertheless not playing with the home field advantage this time around, appearing as he is in what’s technically a sequel to this year’s successful Superman movie Man of Steel. With Oscar-winner Ben Affleck in the part, though, there’s no shortage of talk about the direction the character is going in, and it’s hard to imagine he won’t continue to be one of the, if not the, most talked about aspect of the movie as Warner Bros. sets about establishing a DC Cinematic Universe.For whatever reason, possibly because right now there are concept artists at work, a number of recent rumors have revolved around Batman’s costume. Yesterday, we talked about a number of classic looks from the comics that are unlikely to show up on the big screen. This morning, it seemed like as good a time as any to look at some of the rumors, evaluate some of the candidates and see which costumes we think actually might pop up in Zack Snyder’s film.
