Count me on the
"no new batsuit for the sequel" team as I don't think the costume needs to be drastically altered. More specifically, I don't want it to evolve for that Batman to become too
high-tech.
What would be interesting to me though, is to see the suit being more damaged and dirty to signify the escalation of violence in Gotham highlighted in the final dialogue with Catwoman. That would also be a nice way to naturally add scallops to the cape...
Just out of curiosity, I quickly reworked the costume to try those few adjustments and do some more that I wouldn't mind such as:
- A simplified version of the forearms, which I didn't disliked in the movie, but felt a bit too bulky to my tastes in some shot/stills.
- A slight adjustment to the cape so it come down a bit more on the shoulders.
Since I was at it, I've made a few other minor alterations. Nothing that bothers me in the original design, just some more exploration:
- A very slight reshaping of the ears to make them more classic.
- A polished surface logo on the chest.

EDIT:
Oh yeah, I also changed the color palette a bit to something more...cold.
Like that, for no particular reason...
