The cinematic future is brimming with Batman! With Matt Reeves' sequel and James Gunn's DCU iteration on the horizon, let's delve into the history of the Dark Knight's iconic batsuit, ranking them from the utterly dreadful to the undeniably awesome. From infamous nipples to unparalleled neck mobility, the batsuit is more than just a costume; it's a crucial element shaping each film's tone and instilling fear in Gotham's criminals.
The Caped Crusader's attire is paramount, enabling him to melt into the shadows and strike with the swiftness of a bat. We've journeyed through decades of batsuit evolution, from the campy 60s to the gothic 80s, and even to armor robust enough to challenge Superman (with a little kryptonite help, of course). This ranking considers both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality. A few important notes: this list focuses exclusively on live-action movie batsuits.
