Batman doesn't wear a bra.
I think the costumes of the previous movies had a similar lift-and-enhance effect. And I don't mean just on the chest.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Everything I'm seeing for this film makes me think they based it on a great line by Neal Stephenson: "Until a man is twenty-five he still thinks, every so often, that under the right circumstances he could be the baddest motherfucker in the world."

Yeah, I've got until September.

If you hurry to someplace in the Orient and work hard, you have enough time to cram in some serious supernatural-ninja type skills, then you could go kick Neal Stephenson's ass and laugh in a mocking fashion.

Yeah, but then he'd just ask me how many epic novel's I've put out, and then I'd cry and cry.

You could beat him up with one of his epic novels. Cryptonomicon would work, and quickly too.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The training with ninja thing doesn't bother me at all, since that's pretty close to Batman's schtick (and the inspiration behind the current Robin's split-toed boots) and ninjitsu schools do still exist in Japan and elsewhere. I know there's at least one school within an hour of where I live, though I couldn't tell you how good it actually is.
I do hope we get at least some brief shots of him training in some other styles and other places as well, though.
Overall, I enjoyed the promo, though I do worry Bale's growly "Batman voice" might start to grate after awhile.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Hopefully they'll keep the Bat laconic. Or taciturn. Short-winded. Whatever.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I really want Bruce to say "I know kung fu" after a particularly arduous training session.
