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 Batsuit, ranking them from the frankly awful to the undeniably awesome. Forget the gadgets – the batsuit is the cornerstone of Batman's persona, inspiring fear in criminals while defining the tone of each film. Countless actors and directors have shaped the Caped Crusader's image, but the suit itself is key to his ability to vanish into the shadows and strike with lethal precision.
From the campy '60s to the gothic '80s, and even to the armor capable of facing Superman (with a little help from kryptonite), we've seen it all. This ranking considers both the aesthetic appeal and practical functionality of each suit. A few important notes: this list focuses solely on live-action movie batsuits.
