“With Val Kilmer’s suit in Batman Forever, the nipples were one of those things that I added. It wasn’t fetish to me, it was more informed by Roman armor — like Centurions. And, in the comic books, the characters always looked like they were naked with spray paint on them — it was all about anatomy, and I like to push anatomy. I don’t know exactly where my head was at back in the day, but that’s what I remember. And so, I added the nipples. I had no idea there was going to end up being all this buzz about it.”
I’ve never seen or heard anyone ever answer for the design choices and this makes perfect sense. Always thought Schumacher was having his fun like Tarantino does with feet.
I just want to know who approved nips on the suit
Bats are mammals, if it didn’t have nipples he can’t be Batman.
- Jose Fernandez, costume designer and sculptor
Would have been funnier if he was like “what are you talking about those were just Clooney’s nips”

It’s cool to see the person that made that decision just own it.
“Yeah I like nipples so I put them on there.”
Thanks for the quote. Also from an appropriate user handle haha.
No more ridiculous than abs on the suit.
There were probably long meetings about nip or no nip.
Val Kilmer.
