Batman (1966) – The 1960s Batman TV series, and its spin-off movie, defined what the hero looked like in popular culture for decades. Though its far from the style we are now accustomed to today, the grey/blue colour scheme and the drawn-on eyebrows perfectly fit the campy tone of the series. KAPOW!

Batman (1989) + Batman Returns (1992) – Tim Burton completely redesigned the hero’s look for his cinematic reboot of the character. Suddenly, Batman dressed all in black latex with fake muscles. One deficit of the suit was that Michael Keaton could not turn his head. We’re sure that made crime-fighting difficult!

Batman Begins (2005) – Christopher Nolan took the character in a new gritty direction and so had a more practical suit, said to be a military prototype in the film. Like Keaton before him, though, Bale struggled with moving his head in the rigid rubber cowl.

The Dark Knight (2008) + The Dark Knight Rises (2012) – For the sequel, Batman’s suit was redesigned to be more armoured and to make the cowl much sleeker to allow Bale more maneuverability. The most functional suit ever utilsied in a Batman film, it was kept pretty much the same for the third movie.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice + Suicide Squad (2016) – Zack Snyder’s Bats and Supes mash-up borrowed heavily from The Dark Knight Returns graphic novel. As such, Ben Affleck wore two suits that were perfect replications of costumes from that comic. A) the grey, bulky normal suit and B) the mecha-suit that gives him extra protection in his battle with the Man of Steel.

Justice League (2017) – In next year’s DC hero team-up, Batman will get a new suit, that is being dubbed his “tactical batsuit.” It is more detailed than Batfleck’s previous outfit and most noticeably has the new addition of goggles. Quite what Batman needs the suit for in the movie has yet to be seen.
