I like to say that the Keaton suit is best understood from a design standpoint as "What if Darth Vader were a good guy?" Both suits have a similar, very commanding presence.

[@aidanwalker8890]

Darth Vader's suit was purposely designed to restrict movement by Palpatine he couldn't raise his arms up to his head

[@aidanwalker8890]

And no disrespect or me sounding mean but Michael Keaton's suit in 89 kinda looks weird like he couldn't even walk or turn or do anything like wearing all tight leather

[@TickNation]

Batman Begins suit for me. It was really intimidating and made Bale looking bigger and more intimidating. It was a classic look with a modern feel. 10/10 best batsuit ever for me. Love your list!

[@brandoonf6962]

My fav is the Tim Burton's Batman 3 prototype that never came out as a film.

[@platinum2263]

not really, Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns Batman is extremely bulky, and its excused as its a seasoned Batman attempting to return. Batfleck reaches that size perfectly, if anything i'd say he was asked to reach that kind of size for the role, since Zach shows that Dark Knight Returns made up a huge chunk of his influence, whether thats a good or bad thing. the problem comes when its emphasized this is more of a prime of his life Batman. there's no signs of age, there's no past, no long standing injuries. so the immense size has no excuse.

[@clur136]

And that's the real shame, they go ahead and make such a wonderful batman that is so accurate and they hardly know what to do with the character(s). Just take a look at what they did to Jimmy Olsen, Superman's best friend. They showed him for 10 seconds.... and killed him. That character has always been prevalent in Superman comics and he deserved more. Sure, they are making some better moves now, but that still wont make me forget Supes snapping Zod's neck or Jimmy Olsen dying in such an undignified way.

I dig the Affleck suit except for A) the bat-ears are tiny and B) never been a fan of that particular version of the Bat-symbol on his chest.

[@insertcolorfulmetaphor8520]

I about choked on my coffee when you put in the Law and Order SVU noise, plus having the L&O creator Dick Wolf listed as the Executive Producer... Very funny! I think that the best Batman suit is a tie between the Dark Knight's final suit, and the suit from 1989's Batman.

I love Batfleck suit because it looks so close to comics design, but I would give points to Dark Knight suit because it can make us believe that the things it had were realistically possible. Take their cars for example, DCEU version gives the amazing car feel that Bats might have, it can smash through walls easily, has tons of weapons and a gadget for everything, but I doubt any of us thought the car could be real. While Dark Knight one made us wonder and wow at its design. Can the car turn into an amazing bike? After seeing the movie I think that its kind of within our reach to do all that. So its why I prefer Dark Knight version
