[...] Here’s a full look at what I’m calling the Mark V Iron Man armor. Triangular chest beam and different leg armor design that seems to go higher up the leg and into the hip area. [Update: Actually there may be yet ANOTHER version of the armor in the film because it seems that the armor above may in fact by the Mark VI.] [...]

@Rich…

I mentioned this already but…. The changes I was referring to with Batman were really more applicable to the 80′s series and after my post I realized I shouldn’t have included the BATMA BEGINS & DARK KNIGHT in with the 80′s run of films.

Blue.. thats what he was saying,

actually the change in the dark knights costume was because BALE wanted to be able to move more and HE wanted to turn his head.. he says so in an interview..

he went to nolan and the change comes from that. they also wanted the new suit to be even more realistic then the last one. Thus the noticeable padding and reinforcements.

I think they felt they could go more modern because the character had been re-established, it was their character, their batman.. And hardly anybody cared lol

Not sure about the triangle, i presume some kind of super laser pulse beam comes out of it?

One of the plot elements in Iron Man 2 is that Tony is developing something better than the Arc reactor.. probably because its power output is insufficient, or there’s some side effect that he had not foreseen earlier (like in the comics, when all the EM waves from his suit was giving him cancer or something). Or probably also because Whiplash managed to reverse-engineer or replicate an arc reactor (which interestingly seems pretty similar to an optoelectric nuclear battery that the Russians are working on in real-life).

Tony will be working with a particle accelerator in his basement, who knows what might come out of it. A new power source (maybe that’s how they’ll write that beta particle power generator into the script, though betavoltaics will hardly come close to an arc reactor’s power output) or perhaps a new type of particle beam weaponry for his armor.

A triangular chest piece might make sense if it was to either minimize the exposure of the underlying reactor to enemy fire or external damage, for instance (e.g. it’s an ALON window to protect the reactor). Or perhaps it incorporates a different lensing mechanism to collimate the reactor’s unibeam output. Or, in the case of the Silver Centurion armor, the chest piece had a different shape because the new array was able to bend and manipulate different wavelengths of light.

It doesn’t have to change for the next movie I think, leave for the third or fouth, let’s enjoy the traditional one first

I’m not complaining about the triangular shaped power piece. More curious than anything about how they will write the change into the script. So far, Favreau has done a good job of explaining real world uses for everything in the suit so I’m sure he still does the same thing here.

if anyone is in need of an upgrade in armor or costume it’s ironman’s enemy whiplash. so help me god if they keep micky rourke looking like he is now he will hurt this movie just by showing his pug ugly face.for god’s sake i hope the im2 producer & director put some kind of mask or helmet on him

Yeah, some of us totally geek out on all the new upgrades. Who wants to get the same gift for X-mas every year?

Changing the custome and armor is a cool part of the batman movies because of the upgrades they always do to them. I’m sure Nolan will do it again if he does a third movie.

@Drew “Well, Chris Nolan actually addressed the Costume change as Bruce Wayne wanting to be able to Turn his head. Chris Nolan did a reboot, so there for he could go for a different look. Now if he changes the costume and everything else again, then it will be rediculous.” ~ @Drew

I was refering to the changes made between BATMAN BEGINS & THE DARK KNIGHT and not just to that one item but to evry prop item from the suit as a whole to teh car. Now in the case of Nolan I believe the changes were far less then what typically occurs in a sequl so it may be that I should not have even mentioned his 2 films at all. At least the Head turn change was a logical one and not just a change for changes sake which is often the case in sequels.

@ Brodie Bruce

I believe the Mark VI is def based on the armor from Iron Man: Extremis. I would bet part of the storyline focuses on that too – IM being to slow and bulky to compete with the bad guys’ advancement in technology so he upgrades the armor complete with (DUH DUH DUH) triangular chest piece.

Sleeker suit is better for sure. Circle Unibeam would be better.
