The suit from the Flash with the oxygen tank isn't an aquatic suit, it's a wingsuit designed for flight according to official merchandise (also note the wings). It definitely retains that art-deco vibe from the Burton films which I really like

[@samuelmackenzie5267]

The Batman returns suit is my personal favourite batsuit. It just has the aesthetic I want, the yellow oval, simplistic armour plating, the coolest looking cowl and a cape that drapes nicely over the suit. If the suit was to come back, I’d segment an areas on the suit and put Kevlar in between to allow for more movement. As for the cowl, I like to look at it as a helmet for protection as well as an intimidation factor. The suit just does it for me.

[@chadarcher13]

Returns is my fave also, best cowl yet, has yet to be topped imo and I love how its the closest to having he cape fully envelop his body as well, like in the animated series

[@foroneanotherwinningtogeth1142]

[@bl3343]

The only thing I don't like about the Batman Returns suit is the neck portion of the cowl. Those scales are the end of the cowl remind me of Kermit the frog's gills. However I love the simplicity of the body armor, the black and grey color scheme, and the ears are my favorite. I would love to see a version of the Returns cowl using the same technology as the BVS cowl so there's more flexibility for the actor.

[@TheGoddamnJefe]

The Returns suit on Keaton was peak fashion.

[@jamesoblivion]

I think a high placement for the West Batsuit is entirely valid. Every suit should be viewed within its own context, and 60s Batman wholeheartedly embraced the cartoony side of the character, with the visual style of a live action comic book. Within that context, the suit is a 1:1 translation of Batman's comic book appearance, and the fact that it looks more than a bit silly is all part of the self-aware comedic charm of Adam West's Gotham City.

[@thestarkknightreturns]

He was my first live action Batman suit but I never liked it. I always thought it was terrible, even as a kid. To each their own but it did not do Batman any favors for decades.

[@acurisur]

The West suit falls far short of the comic book suits due to the budget of the show. It is definitely not a 1:1 translation of Batman's comic book appearance, the cowl is wrong, the utility belt is wrong. Batman in the 60s didn't have eyebrows drawn on the mask. There was no Batman logo drawn onto the middle of the utility belt. The Batman comics of the 60s were also nowhere near as cheesy as the Adam West Batman show. When people say this suit and that show are like the 60s Batman comics I immediately roll my eyes. I was born in the 70s, watched the Adam West show as a kid on re runs. Didn't like it then and don't like it now, because it made Batman into a caricature of what he is in the comics. It's because of the Adam West era of Batman that Joel Schumacher made the absolutely awful Batman and Robin.

[@alexzemaitis1207]

Fun Fact: The Sonar Batsuit was eventually repainted black and was used for screen testing for Batman Begins

[@jonathancandelario9976]

Honestly I never realized the Clooney one was a repaint aside from new gauntlets. That and the fact that the Birds of Prey show used the Batgirl suit but with Gold accents goes to show the power of a repaint

[@thetruebatman4632]

Every suit made for Keaton, whether the 89 or 92 suit back then or the new ones for The Flash that have been perfectly stylized to fit that Burton-verse aesthetic, they’re all just such a beautiful reminder of how much that particular Batman meant to me as a kid growing up in the early 90’s. Comparatively, when screen photos of Pattinson’s suit were leaked I was mortified: the lace up boots, laces running down the pant legs, the thing holster… I could’ve have been more pleasantly surprised.

[@acurisur]

Pattinson's Batman suit is made up of pieces of real life military uniforms, so in that sense his suit is actually more realistic than Bales.

[@XxHUNT3RN4T0RxX]

The Arkham Knight suit is my favorite Batman suit of all time and it isn’t even live action.

[@incognitofool6516]

The extra legs on the 89 suit was because of some strange rights issues going on with the emblem at the time of the suits creation. But the time post production had started, the issues were settled. Hence the two extra legs not being on the poster

[@rijoenpial]

I actually like the extra legs on the bat symbol...The 1989 suit was and still is my fave of all time!

[@this_is_who_we_are]

​@@rijoenpial agree 💯% with you.

[@acurisur]

DC and Warner Bros own the rights, it had nothing to do with a rights issue. Tim Burton and Bob Ringwood wanted the emblem to look like that on purpose. This has been covered extensively in the Batman 89 making of documentaries.

[@ganumon1984]

The Battinson Suit is personally my favorite Movie Batsuit! It’s more agile, the cowl is fascinating, and I also like the idea that Bruce Wayne uses different materials to make the suit instead of using military armor. A few minor updates the Battinson Suit needs is to make the suit 90% more agile so Batman can use more of his martial arts while fighting, making the cape and cowl darker blue and the utility belt yellow while they still blend in with the grounded environment, and adding batarangs to Batman’s list of gadgets because he uses those in the comics. Outside of Movie Batman, I also love the Arkham City and Arkham Knight Batsuit from the Arkham games. For a standard Batsuit from the comics, I even love the Definitive Black and Grey Batsuit with the black trunks and the Blue and Grey Batsuit by Neal Adams and the Batman: Hush Comic.

Pattinson’s suite is my favorite as well. Love how his jaw is not encased in the cowl. How his mask is very skull like. I believe Matthew Reeves even said in an interview that the boots he wears are Austrian military boots. Just love the idea of his suit as well. You can tell he started off as a very buff, ultimate protection suit and then evolved it so he could be more flexible, as he has now a year under his belt by the time we start the film in his second year as Batman. The little things that you don’t see often in the film like him not immediately wiping away his black eye paint from around his eyes when he takes his mask off or the boxing tape around his hands when he has his gloves off, all these little details just made it ideal for me. Can’t wait to see how it evolves in film 2.

Also, fun fact: the 89 suit used a pair of jordans spray painted black for the boots of it. 37:19 Correction: due to the cameras of the time, the cape and cowl aren't actually blue, they're purple because the cameras couldn't capture blue properly due to Technicolor technology and TV limitations of the time.

The Batman suit worn by Robert Pattison was the Tom Ford of the movie Batman suits. It wasn't this stiff rubber coffin that Keaton had, it wasn't this visually busy jigsaw that Bale had, it had a balanced between form and function. While Kilmer and Clooney had their Batsuits tailored off toy lines and made it so hot for the actor to film in, it was too busy both the nipples and the abs, and the two tone highlights of the cod piece of the ice suits. Where they got it right was Batman Begins with the panther neck and the all black suit, it was iconic to see Batman sitting from on high and the wind blowing his parachute like cape with a velvety texture as designed by Lindy Hemming in the making of documentary. Then Affleck had probably the best Batman suit at the time, gone are the wannabe Iron-man rubber suits and back to basics fabric tights that was clearly borrowed from Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. They got it right in how this is a brawler suit, this is a Batman that can really bring the pain, as seen in that amazingly perfect fight choreography in the warehouse that was inspired by the Rocksteady's Arkham video games. And it went downhill from there where the suit got unnecessary flairs with buckles and goggles. But Robert Pattison looked like Batman so much in his suit just the silhouette of him is perfect. He has a suit that is padded in the front to take on a shower of bullets, his cowl shows off his strong jawline, he's able to act well with his eyes, and he has finally a belt that does away with the yellow which was long overdue just like the strongman underwear from the comics. And I know the studios can't help themselves with each new movie to change the costume to sell new toys and merchandise, but I hope that Matt Reeves is able to keep the suit the same. It is as good as it gets. The suit is like how a special ops team would wear, quiet and flexible, and in the comics Bruce Wayne is supposed to have a collection of scars and bruises anyways. What we see in The Batman is a fresh start and a break from the Keaton DNA of stiff unrealistic rubber suits and the padded Shazam suits of Ben Affleck.

Something to note is that the serials 1943 and 1949 costumes, which aren't the same by the way, are not just a product of their time, they were also made with almost no budget in mind. Batman was not considered a 'big budget' thing in the '40s. The reason Nolan Dark Knight Trilogy suits and Robert Patterson's suit doesn't rank high for me is because I lose the symbol in the darker shots and if I can't see it then how can the criminals he's fighting? You should check out Kevin Porter's suit for most of those fan films. It is all black which is a bummer but it looks leagues better than FOX's, Titans', or the CW. Personally, if the '97 ice suit had way, way less silver on it - I'm talking like only the temples, knuckles, maybe the belt or boots, and definitely the symbol, then that one would be my favorite. Fun fact about the arguably worst film, Batman and Robin, Clooney, outside of Adam West, is the only Batman to not kill anyone on-screen.

I think the perfect 89-97 suit is the batman 89 suit in Arkam knight. It's clearly what they wanted to make but the equipment they had to make it just wasn't their yet, the only issue with it the emblem

[@jacob2971]

I honestly love the grey and blue batfleck suit lol. My fave of his with the tactical one. Id say those two, Keaton from flash and Pattinson's are my faves. I WANT THE DCU'S BATMAN TO HAVE GREY AND BLUE TOO !!

[@JD_1776]

I’d like to imagine the nightmare keton suit was to fight Al ghul in the desert

[@SirPhillip_10]

Honestly did not mind the list up until the point the dark knight suit from Chris Nolan movies was at 16. I couldnt believe it was so low

[@joemax4]

I know he’s gone but hoping McFarlane give us the BvS and JL suits. With his sculpting they’d knock the texturing out of the park.

[@killercaritas9442]

The Batman begins suit is underrated, but my favorite is Batman returns.

[@jamesguglielmucci2001]

By far the Batman Forever batsuit is the Best, Val Kilmer Totally Shined in it!!!!! Mesmerizes me 💯!!!!!

[@rjmacready9828]

TDK suit is by far my favorite, very tactical

[@-WolfMan-]

The Ben Affleck Suits are By Far the BEST (IMO) It's literally how BatMan SHOULD look after Years of Battling Tough Street Thugs and Super Powered Villians - The suits are Simple - No weird bullshit - and the Grey & Black Hulking Look is absolutely Perfect ... and Plus He can actually Turn His Head in this suit!

[@Mohamad-m7md]

Agree but the bvs suit would still be number 2 for me I get it looks more like Batman But the 1989 suit is really unmatched for me that black and gold colour scheme with that yellow and black logo is too slick So for me it’s 1 1989 suit 2 bvs suit

[@-WolfMan-]

@mhmd4745 Yeah I agree the Tim Burton suit was a Game Changer - in fact, I Dare say it set the Precedent for all SuperHero Suits that ever followed! But now ... just imagine if the Keaton suit was Bulked up like the Affleck Look!! Now THAT'S ... BATMAN !!

[@Mohamad-m7md]

@@-WolfMan- Kind of like playing Batman Arkham knight and using the 1989 suit

[@dtl2405]

[@-Anonymous-.]

1. Begins 2. 1989 or Returns 3. TDK 4. Pattinson 5. BVS

[@TerryTrowbridge]

Love the Nightmare suit. It's like the first on-screen Elseworlds Batman we've ever got.

[@hOtneO]

When you watch the final action in the third act of The Batman, where he fights off the Riddler's followers, now imagine other Batman actors doing that scene with the suit that they got in their career: Keaton couldn't do that- his suit is too constrictive, so too Kilmer and Clooney. Affleck and West could do that scene sure, but get shredded by shotgun. Pattison's got the right suit where it has just enough armor protection for him and the flexibility for him to do the fight scenes.

[@DarthArachnious]

Clooney's Blue Suit has the best sculpted Bat Symbol. The Panther Suit has the best Cowl. Otherwise, the original Keaton Suit is my favorite because of its matte finish. Pattinson wins for Utility Belt because it actually has pouches.

[@elwoodjacobs4353]

My favorite for stylization is the Returns suit (my only complaint is the lack of '89 logo, _love_ that one), & my favorite for realism is Battinson's

[@Hum0ng0us]

For me, the BatMike Suits are the best in reverse order, though I have a complete 89. Keaton is just Batman. He's captured the essence of the character best for me.

[@matthewmcdonald8892]

Keaton's Batman did the best job of making Bruce Wayne unassuming. Nolan touched on it a bit but Bale and Batfleck both look tall and strong and capable of filling out the suit. The sculpted muscles on tim buttons suit were put there because the suit and technology is supposed to help create the illilusion of a bigger, stronger man

[@joesalad69]

Idk, but the way Michael Keaton plays Bruce Wayne? He comes off as the kind of dude who would be a CIA intelligence officer. Not very obvious, but very present and sharp. Idk if that makes sense.

[@lukedeehan2011]

Unfathomably based list, a big fan of your concise scripting and comprehensive reasoning

[@mitchell7309]

In Tiers Great: 1 a - Batman 89 b - The Batman Very Good: 2 - Batman Begins 3 - TDK / TDKR 4 - Flash (Keaton) 5 - Batman Returns Good: 6 - BvS (Armored Suit) Decent: 7 - BvS 8 - Forever (Panther Suit) Meh: 9 - JL 10 - Forever (Sonar Suit) Trash: 11 - Flash (Affleck) 12 - JL (Tactical Suit) 13 - B and R 14 - B and R (Ice Suit)

[@onearmouredboipictures8653]

That Knightmare Keaton suit is actually his arctic suit.

[@Andre-nn3tu]

Robert Pattinson’s suit goes hard af. I just wish his symbol was made from the gun that killed his parents

[@Thespeedrap]

It was a gun shaped like which was cool but it's not like the yellow black version I still dig that Batman logo still feels like the Batman.

[@ronaldrodriguez14]

My favorites 3 batsuits are: 1. The Arkham Origins suit 2. The 89 Batman suit 3. The The Batman suit.

[@pivotguydc1149]

Take the V1 Batfleck suit, lengthen the ears just a little and slim down the insignia (I'm partial to the style from Gotham Knights) and you have the PERFECT suit to me. The fact that his cowl completely blends into the cape yet still lets him turn his head is nothing short of miraculous.

[@jordanellis3615]

Keatons always been my favorite Batman. I loved the 89 suit but his modern suit is absolutely on top for me personally

[@The_Blue_Otaku]

Not gonna lie the Bat emblem on the 1989 suit would look vary good on the (1992) Batman Returns suit

[@xdecatron2985]

When they first revealed the Pattinson suit, I didn’t like it. The round head with the small, pointy ears in the back, the thin neck and collar, the heavy armor. I didn’t get it. Then I sat down to watch the movie, and the moment he stepped out of the shadows, it became my favorite.

[@GooseStar]

I was actually excited when I got the noti for this

[@godzilla5611]

Really good video, really unpredictable.

[@eduardofranco8528]

That's the first video of you I've ever watched, didn't know if I was going to subscribe or not, but then you brought up The Weekly Planet, and sold me lol loved the content
