Ranking Batman’s Batsuits Across The Years

The internet went bat-crazy this week when director Zack Snyder shared a tantalizing image from the set of Justice League that showed Ben Affleck in a new batsuit. The more armoured number, with fetching goggles, has split fans down the middle, but most are still excited Batman will get a new look in the movie.

As previously stated, Batman Begins’ outfit left Bale with limited maneuverability, so for The Dark Knight it was written in that Batman would get a new suit. The result was the coolest-looking and most practical suit yet seen on film. It was so good, in fact, that the next film, The Dark Knight Rises, did away with tradition and kept the suit basically the same.

The suit from The Dark Knight films has also arguably made the biggest impact on pop culture, with the body-armour look inspiring everything from video games and the comic book themselves. Unless Snyder and the DCEU get very lucky, there won’t be any knocking this suit off the top spot for a while.
