The bat suits worn in all Batman movies are all iconic. Some are really cool, some look just nice and there are the ones that look…bad. A video on Youtube talks about the major variation of Bat suits from live-action movies. Batmaniacs, this video might be perfect for you!
1) Battinson
Robert Pattinson plays Batman for the upcoming movie, The Batman and is scheduled to be released in 2022. Even the full movie is not out yet, the snippets of the movie have shown us the brand-new bat suit. Appeared both in trailer and promo photos, the bat suit seems fit. The chest armor looks rock-hard. The batmaniacs labeled the suit as ‘sad’ hence the trending hashtag, ‘#sadbatsummer’.
The major change on this new batman suit is the symbol on his chest. It is made out of the gun that killed his parents and a physical presentation of the trauma he had been through. Overall, it looks bold with sharp ears, bluntnose and broad chest.
2) Batfleck
Batfleck’s suit is the opposite of Pattinson’s. It appeared to be bigger, and chunkier to show Batfleck stockier frame. Same as the Battinson suit, the major change of this suit is the symbol. This time, the bat symbol is bigger and spread on his chest. During his fight with Superman, Batfleck put on an armored suit. It is inspired by Frank Miller, the Batman comic book writer.
3) Ba(c)tical Suit
As for the Justice League, Ben Affleck’s suits look just like the original one he had on Batman vs Superman but with a small upgrade to them, such as sharper angles and less excessive items. He also had a google on.
4) Bale
Christian’s Bale suits in The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises are said to be the most realistic Batman suit. It looks light and easy to move in but still appears to protect Batman. Even so, the simple piece is not enough to prevent batman from breaking his back. The suit provided spikes from the gauntlet that came in handy when he was fighting against the bad guys.
It is likely to be made out of rubber and isn’t loved universally but it is not that bad. The later suit is much better but the one before is memorable.
5) Bat Nips
The infamous George Clooney’s suit or also known as batnips. The obvious nipples in front of the suit are bad enough to be criticized but, the skin-tight feature is also a big no. The cape’s materials look cheap and the whole outfit is just… not it.
The Batnips are bad enough but the one George Clooney wore, a silver-colored suit is the worst of all.
6) Kilmer
Clooney’s suit wasn’t the first one to have that weird feature as Val Kilmer had it on first. Although it wasn’t as obvious as Clooney’s, he still holds the honor. Val Kilmer’s jet-black suit was called ‘the panther suit’ and it has a touch of greek statue aesthetic.
7) Keaton
Michael Keaton’s suit on the other hand is not the most practical suit but it was the one that started the ‘bulky’ feature in all Batman suits. The thick rubber around his neck makes it hard for him to look around, but the rich black with a hint of vibrant yellow under the symbol makes up for it.
Keaton’s suit in Batman Returns was the same as his first one except for the more angular armor and an upgraded cape.
8) West
Adam West’s suit looks just like the one from the comic book. The soft grey material and white eyebrows are not that bold but it is iconic. Considering the fact that it was released in 1966. It is bright and cheery, completely opposite of 2022 Batman’s suit. If we were to put it side by side, we can see that batman suits have revolved throughout the decades.
