Saying that both Superman's and Batman's costumes will be tweaked somewhat from their most recent screen outings, the site claims that Batman's cowl is, at least at present, being modeled on or inspired by Lee Bermejo's Batman in the Batman: Noël graphic novel. The look, with seams, shorter ears and a bit more of an armored look to the head, has always felt a bit more gritty and real-world than most superhero comics get...but how it will compare to previous screen iterations is hard to say until we've seen it on an actor.

While big-screen iterations of the Batman cowl have traditionally gone with longer ears, a number of the most memorable versions of Batman's look over the years--including Dick Sprang, Frank Miller and Jim Lee versions from the comics as well as Adam West's TV Batman--have featured shorter ones. Miller, of course, is a consultant on the film and has been widely reported as a key influence on the story.
