The cinematic future is brimming with Batman! With Matt Reeves' sequel and James Gunn's DCU reboot both featuring the Dark Knight, it's time to delve into the history of the big-screen batsuits, ranking them from the utterly dreadful to the undeniably awesome. We'll be judging everything from those infamous nipples to the crucial neck mobility.
The batsuit is far more than just a costume; it's a crucial element. It must instill fear in Gotham's criminals while simultaneously reflecting the tone and style of each individual film. Countless actors and directors have tackled the Caped Crusader's iconic look, each interpretation shaping the character's on-screen presence. The suit's design is paramount, allowing Batman to melt into the shadows and strike with the swiftness and surprise of a bat.
This ranking covers decades of batsuit evolution, from the campy 60s to the gothic 80s, and even the super-heavy armor capable of (with a little kryptonite help) taking on Superman. Our ranking considers both the aesthetic appeal and the practical functionality of each suit. A few important notes: This list focuses solely on live-action movie batsuits.
And don't forget to cast your vote for your favorite batsuit in our poll below! Also, be sure to check out our list of the 10 greatest comic book batsuits, and learn how Robert Pattinson's suit draws inspiration from the Arkham games and the comics.
