While all the ire directed at the terrible decision to add nipples to the Batsuit in Joel Schumacher’s movies is deserved, it shouldn’t be forgotten that the entirety of the outfits from those films are awful. The worst offenders are the Batfamily’s costumes from Batman & Robin, worn during the film’s climax.
