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. From infamous nipples to impressive 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. It's a crucial part of Batman's arsenal, allowing him to blend into the shadows and strike with surprising speed and force.
We've journeyed through decades of batsuits, from the campy 60s to the brooding 80s and beyond, even to suits robust enough to face Superman (with a little kryptonite help, of course). This ranking considers both the aesthetic appeal and the practical functionality of each suit. A few important notes: This list focuses exclusively on live-action movie batsuits.
