Batman: Ranking the Movie Batsuits

The cinematic future is brimming with Batman. Matt Reeves' The Batman is getting a sequel, and James Gunn's DCU is introducing its own Dark Knight. To prepare for this bat-tastic onslaught, we're ranking every live-action movie Batsuit, 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 more than just a costume; it's a crucial element, arguably more important than any gadget or weapon. It must instill fear in criminals while simultaneously reflecting the tone and style of each film. Numerous actors and directors have tackled the challenge of portraying the Dark Knight, and the suit's design is paramount, enabling him to move through the shadows and strike with surprising speed and force.

This ranking considers decades of Batsuits, from the campy 60s to the gothic 80s, and even the incredibly armored suit capable of facing Superman (with a little help from kryptonite). Our ranking considers both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality.

And after you've explored our ranking, be sure to vote for your favorite in our poll below! Also, 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 comics.
