Batman: Best and Worst Live Action Costumes

Batman is easily DC’s most successful character in live action with multiple different film franchises and tv show appearances and seeing as you can’t have Batman without a Batsuit and with Micheal Keaton’s Batman returning in The Flash and there seemingly not being another live action Batman appearance for over two years, now would be a good time to look at every live action Batsuit and rank them from worst to best.

Pattinson’s cowl is based off Gotham by gaslight & 66 Batman not daredevil. The caller and ears are Gotham by gaslight & the stitch in sections of the cowl are based on Adam West cowl. Matt Reeves is a HUGE 66 Batman fan. Also in the 66 movie the team of villains was riddler, Penguin, catwoman, & joker. With barry keoghan’s cameo, the Batman has the same lineup of villains.

[@Empithri]

Batman's ears being changed from what it was in BvS ultimately makes the other suits a failure. They had the perfect BvS suit but I guess they were trying to sell merchandise? But still. Those ears made such a huge difference. After BvS he just looked like a darker Owl Man.

[@darthgoku90]

Sorry to disagree, but Michael Keaton's costumes are my favorite in terms of color scheme. In terms of functionality though, I guess I'd go with the Dark Knight costume. I know the gray bodysuit is popular with most comic book fans, but the only one of those that I like is the Batsuit from Batman the Animated Series. If that's wrong, I don't want to be right.

why does he have a issue with the Color Black Batman is supposed to be Dark and Mysterious and in the shadows and Black helps with that.

[@bearbbb12]

I gotta say that I find your ranking pretty fair when it comes to the burton/shumacher suits cause something that I find hypocritical with people is when they put the 89 suit in a top spot while one of Shumachers suits (ex.Batman forever) will get a bottom spot for really no major reason other than “nipples” and I feel that’s unfair since Burton and Schumacher suits really aren’t that dissimilar when you look at them. All black muscle suit, limited movement, with cowl, gauntlets, and boots looking standard. The only other big differences between the suits are something like the yellow belt and logo on Keaton. I know it’s all personal opinion when it comes to rankings but it’s the hypocrisy that gets me

[@j.p.6932]

13:03 It’s so funny, because the subtlety of the logo is one of the things I like best about this suit.

[@shadowbyname2802]

How dare you put the nipple suit above Adam West. It may have been campy, but at least West’ suit had class.

[@Gianne0923]

My favorite batsuit of all time is the Batman Returns suit. It's just something about the way that suit was designed that just does it for me. They nailed that s***!

[@ninjafoxgamesgeekery4555]

I have to disagree that the skin tight spandex can't work for Batman. The actor from the fan film Batman: Dead End absolutely nails it because he has the physique to look large and intimidating despite the suit not having the look of thick armor plating. It also has the best cinematic shot of stylizing the cape when he jumps from a roof into an alley, the cape sprawled out around him so when he stands up, it looks like he's "melting up" from the ground like a living shadow.

[@danielwiddowson8881]

I always loved the suit in Batman 89 and Batman Begins as they made him more monster/creature-like. Perfect for striking fear in his enemies.

[@joseluissantos9854]

Ima have to disagree on the Batfleck suit, I honestly prefer Robert Patterson suit over his Batman Vs Superman suit. It just doesn’t make sense for Batman to go into a gun fight with cloth like material as opposed to some kind of armor. The rest of the list I agree with tho 🔥

[@KEN-1991]

The Batsuit from Arkham is the best version. It may not be in the cinematic universe, but I've seen cosplayers bring the suit to life.

[@joshuasgameplays9850]

Which one? there's like 6 even if we're only counting the canon ones (so excluding stuff like the Batman Beyond suit) My personal favorite Arkham suit is the one from Arkham Knight you get after unlocking fear takedowns, I love how armored it is while still looking like he has a full range of movement.

You're judging BATMAN SUITS based on "usefulness"?... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Keaton's suits are perfect. Period. I don't care if he can turn his head or not as long as he looks cool and menacing (which he does). His Batman understood that you don't have to be jumping around like a monkey and doing roundhouse kicks to be "tough" in fact, If anything I think his limited mobility gave him an otherworldly appearance. I especially love the way his cape was practically closed all the way to the front. Bale suits (ALL OF THEM) are horrible and his cowl makes him look like an asthmatic that mouth breaths.... And with his Batman voice it was so laughable it wasn't even funny.

[@Laila5234]

I could also say that Pattinson's Batsuit is the best so far. It just looks so badass and horrifying. The design is also neat but if they fix the cowl a little bit than it will be the perfect comic Batman suit as its already the best live-action batsuit.

But it was in Batman's co- creator artist (Bill Finger)...Who we have to thank for visual aesthetic that defined the character for all time.

[@CptBerns]

Affleck's BvS suit is indeed great. I have only a few problems with it. I would replace the cowl with Keaton's second cowl (Batman Returns) for the ears and the shape of the eyebrows. I would also replace the belt with the Keaton belt (which was perfect, like in the comics but a little more detailed). But on top of all, I would get rid of the huge bat on Affleck's chest. I love the yellow oval. I think the logo was best on Kilmer's regular Batman suit. My second favorite Batman suit would be Kilmer's regular Batman suit, but with Keaton's belt and Keaton's second cowl.

1:50 The "Caped Crusader" (have no idea why you called it that way) is based on his Year 1 Suit, and is actually extremly accurate.

[@livingweaponnightmare]

I love the BvS suit and agree it's the best look, my issue was it was never really explained properly. It has functional aspects like armour- able to take bullets and knife attacks- but it's meant to look like a cloth suit. Additionally when Bruce is looking at it, it "holds" the form despite it seeming to be a cloth suit over Affleck's body. While Affleck was jacked, he was not as huge as the suit which had different muscle shapes and insertions than him. So aesthetically it looks great, it made no sense logically.

[@Phantom8941]

It makes perfect sense, the "muscle" is armor (likely some kind of soft impact hardening armor and probably some plates on the chest itself where the symbol is), with a kevlar fabric shirt going over it. We see this concept in JL, where he takes his outer shirt off to reveal an armor shirt underneath.

@@Phantom8941 but that's completely unnecessary extra detailing to make a muscle suit that is anatomically that of a bodybuilder that should function as armour....how would it function in real life? It's not even Affleck's physique. If you look at it, it has all the striations etc like a competition classic bodybuilder. How would it even move? I know it was mainly just meant to look like the comic batman.

Also the undersuit shown in JL is not the same shape etc as the exterior suit. It just makes no sense (if one actually cares for such details)- I just enjoy the movie but I do wonder how it functions. When I first saw it, I thought it wasn't meant as armour but a true cloth suit.

[@Phantom8941]

@@livingweaponnightmare New suit, new undersuit; why make it look like muscles - so he looks like a creature and not like guy wearing armor; I said how it could theoretically function soft when moving hard when sharp impacted, ala non-newtonian fluids, its not even that advanced we have compression foam that mimics it already, throw in some kevlar fabric, maybe some ceramic or metal plating and you've got a nice protective suit

I agree with your top 5 choices, but prefer Bale's first (Batman Begins) suit to his second one. They're both good, but the first one was truly menacing, while the second sacrifices presence for utility, which does make sense for the sequels, as criminals are already afraid of him. FYI - Batlfeck's cowl (and sometimes also his cape) in BvS was CGI. If you watch the making of the warehouse fight scene you'll see that his stunt double wasn't wearing a cowl or even a cape. Also, while the yellow utility belt looks nice and is somewhat iconic, it would ruin his stealthy profile. Batman Begins solved this by making it a bronze color (12:47) so something similar might work.

Top 3 Keatons flash suit.. snydercut , the Dark knight Best movie suits that look classic and realistic

[@DivineKnight_115]

Yeah so top 3 preferences are between a mobile body armor look, a homemade body armor look, and a Kevlar based body armor cloth look. All look great in their own way.

[@LilBroAce]

Of course someone in current day would put the older suits in dead last but just remember the tech suits and stuff wouldn’t be here without the old ones

[@bradleyphillips9549]

I like the BVS Batsuit, as Ben was scary as heck in it.

[@Thespeedrap]

That suit looked good too bad the movie wasn't the same level.

[@MrJoaquinnavarro]

it's defend on time.. not defend to you..on that time the rubber muscles suit is great looking.

[@GoodXylophone]

It's so weird how Ben lost his neck movement going from BvS to Justice League. How did you make it look slightly worse but also less practical?

[@AnthonysCorner1]

Idk if you have ever done it, but can you rank the Arkham suits in each game. Like rank all the suits in City, Origins, and Knight. I don’t think you can change the suit in Asylum. Also I love and 100% agreed with this vid, except I might have put the Batman Returns suit a bump or two higher.

[@jasonsalim622]

Am i the one who think Affleck knightmare suit is underated?

[@tritonk1759]

Not at all, it was even brought into the comics.

[@lawrencericho3635]

Clooneys bat logo was awesome😅
