Podcast: Episode 10 - Give Robin his Color Back

In this episode of the 1995 Batman podcast Drew gives his thoughts on the Robin costume in Batman Forever.

I've got to say I really agree with him that it's a shame they made Chris O'Donnell such a fantastic suit and then barely showed it off in the film. And when it was on screen it was mostly obscured by tight close-ups or hazy green lighting from Claw Island.

I really wish they had stuck with the suit a little longer in Batman & Robin rather than transitioning straight into the Nightwing inspired one.

Behind the Scenes: Batman Forever Video Game costumes

Thanks to Mark Hickman for sending over these photos of a section within the GamePRO Batman Forever: The Official Players' Guide book by Corey Sandler that show some of the behind the scenes of the stunt performers and costumes that were used in the film.

The Robin one is particularly interesting as this was featured in the Genesis and SNES versions but for the PC version they actually redid Batman and Robin using the movie suits.

While I was doing some research on the game (I've got to cover it at some point) I also discovered these neat maps of all the levels. Crazy how linear they look when they are lined up like this.

Concept Art: Costumes

Here's some costume sketches for Batman Forever. I've got to say I really like the second Robin one. It’s a shame that never made it to the screen.
