      well his Martha Warehouse Rescue suit is great, and kind of wish they went that route because he looked both muscular and agile.
      in JL his suit looks fine, makes sense that he'd have to upgrade his suit if he's dealing with extraterrestrial beings.
      and no..let's not give batman a super-potionlike at all.

        They could give him powers like they did in Darkseid War:Batman comic issue.
        I've recently read the Shazam Darkseid War comic issue and I've looked at other character titles like the Flash and Batman Darkseid war issues. When I saw images online that Batman becomes a God I knew which title I wanted to read next.
        I wonder if making Batman a God would even be possible to do in a movie. Maybe in a New Gods movie.

          I think they should do one of these 3 things with Batman:

          1. Go back to having him rely mostly on intelligence rather than strength and power.
          2. Give him super-strength.
          3. Change his armor. Don't have it with fake muscles. We all know Bruce Wayne/Ben Affleck is not that muscular.

            the batsuits have been molded with muscles for years, soooooo don't complain now. don't get me wrong they went overboard in BvS with the muscles, mainly noticeable in promotional pictures than in the actual film.

              Was that the one where it looked like his suit was stuffed with polystyrene balls?

                      Yes, as it strongly evokes the Batman of Frank Miller's
                      The Dark Knight Returns
                      , who is only about five years older than this version.

                        10 years older, that Batman was 55, this one is only mid 40's/around 45.

                          Nope, only five years difference at most. We are clearly told at the beginning of
                          The Dark Knight Returns
                          that it takes place forty years after Bruce's parents were murdered. Bruce is no more than fifty, not fifty-five. In some versions of Batman's origin story, including Miller's
                          Batman: Year One
                          , Bruce was only eight years old when his parents were killed, so we could even argue that he is forty-eight in
                          The Dark Knight Returns
                          .

                            Let's just wait and see exactly what this new suit does when the film comes out, but it makes sense. I always thought most of the BvS marketing focussed on batman in the big armour, we all new what it was for but for the standard movie goer they must have thought WTF has happened to batman, he's got fat.
                            My main concern is they have changed the colour of his normal suit. After such a huge change from all the past batman films making it grey they have now pretty much darkened it so much by time Snyder beep around with the colour the suit will just look black again.
                            as far as fighting beings with powers, I always thought he would be used against the weaker of enemies or use tech and brains to balance things up, which the new tactical suit pretty much is. I'm trying to work out if it's a complete new suit of just on top of the normal suit like in BvS.

                              Those suits are brilliantly copied from the comics.
                              Batman was given superpowers and fans didn't like it.
                              He beat and saved the team by himself.
                              Superpowers simply aren't necessary for the caped crusader.

                                I've pretty much always taken it for granted that the suit that Batman uses when he finally confronts Superman is powered armor. At that point he is essentially Iron Bat.

                                        The suit in the movies, while clearly based on The Dark Knight Returns costume, is also a massive step back. It is obvious in the Justice League trailer when Batman can't easily turn his head when talking to Cyborg.
                                        The one used in The Dark Knight/Rises was easily the best one. It showed practicality as well, being an actual combat suit of armor for military application and allowed more free range of motion.
