It looks pretty good. From this angle it's to get a full impression. If I had to make a criticism it would be that the handlebars are a bit weedy and toy like. I was hoping we'd get the big over-arching ones from the comic.

Still looks cool though and the Judges uniform is fantastic!

Previously known as L*e B*tes. Sshhh, going undercover...

Quote from: IndigoPrime;577458That's all looks horrible—which is great. What I mean is that this Mega City One is more 'nightmare' than neon-nightmare. Maybe things will change in post, but it's coming across like a shithole of a city that's on the brink, where Judges just about keep things in line.

Increasingly, this also doesn't look Nolan faux-realism to me—it's brutal 1980s-style sci-fi' realism. It's Mad Max and Alien, not Batman Begins. Again, maybe post will change things, but I'm liking the no-nonsense take on the comic so far and its slightly ramshackle nature.
Looks awesome, very Electra Glide in Blue. Says badass biker cop all the way. Shame ar' Michael didn't have a hand in the reveal though!!!

That's interesting - Michael has referenced the likes of Predator and Robocop, so I think overall the movie could be - at least in some ways, a bit of a throwback to eighties action sci-fi - which would be a winner for me!

[spoiler]In fact there's a bit in the script that I interpreted as an homage to Robocop - an early scene where Dredd 'harmlessly' shoots through a civilian in order to clip a fleeing fugitive. And bearing in mind that Robocop is heavily inspired by Dredd, it's kind of like an homage to an homage of the original Dredd comics.[/spoiler]

Very interesting take on the lawmaster...looks great but where the fuck are the handlebars?! Or is it just the angle?

Need to see a better angle. The whole front sculpt looks way too over the top but it may serve some function we can't see here. Agree the handlebars look a little wimpy but I fucking love this.

Definitely agree that this is a far different Mega City One than what we're used to. This place looks like the Judges have already lost...!

Looks awful and a nightmare to ride.Like the green pads though. So far i love half of what im seeing and hate the other half.
Swings and roundabouts.

Not what I expected at all, but I really like that.

It's weird, but it's growing on me. Nice guns  :D

Is there a knife in that boot? I can't tell  ;)

AAAAAAAARGGHH!!!



Nah, not what I was expecting but hell, I remember my first sight of the tumbler thinking "THATS the batmobile??"
Hell, the batpod from the 2nd bat movie looked pretty naff in stills and was badass in the film.
Really hoping these leaked pics make the studio think "Maybe we should release some nicely lit, professionally posed pics of this stuff"

Not loving it from this pic, but not hating it either. Consider my appetite whetted

That's the most ugly bike I've ever seen - and it looks so cheap... reminds me of Adam West Batman's Bat-Bike with the black/red bulletproof screen.

I miss the handle bars and the exhaust. They gave the bike an iconic look thats missing from that. Plywood fairing on a late 90's GSXR springs to mind http://www.spcomposite.com/html/pic/suzuki-gsxr-750-srad-96-99.jpg

I must admit I was hoping for a more retro chopper/easy rider type look

First impressions are a sense of disappointment and missed opportunity.

I particularly don't like the front, it just dominates despite being fairly featureless apart from the Nike swoosh, which itself seems really out of place compared to everything else we've seen.

I don't mind the back so much, and I think it would have been better if the front had matched that in a stripped-down brutal look.

It just doesn't look designed, more like a concept artist frantically trying to get their pen to work.

Nice guns though.

Couldnt have put it better myself. Theres a certain rawness about the neccessity and practicality of that bike which bodes well with me. Not only that but the Judge uniform Im happy with also as Indigo says "coming across like a shithole of a city that's on the brink" and its that punchy factor which appears all so readily here.
