I like the look of the suit so far. It's an interesting take to have the bat symbol in a light colour, which is usually the province of female Bat-characters. Still, it looks good.
Bearing in mind all this is just my opinion but... I have always preferred either the idea of a single colour for the entire costume, rather than having the suit different from the cape, gloves etc. In fact, Bob Kane originally wanted to have the character in red! Since he's supposed to be of the night, lurking in shadows and so forth, I believe the less colour and contrast, the better. I know it doesn't necessarily translate well to a comic book page but it's more "realistic", if you can use such a word regarding Batman.
FWIW, I think Nolan's interpretation is the best one ever, in terms of look, style and practicality.
As for the choice of model, why not use one of the DAZ guys? Mike 2 or 3 work well as Bats.
