What is the best Batsuit?

God considering the ending would be really cool if they went grey&blue on the same suit maybe some gold touches to the symbol piece
I can respect caping for the cape. I really can.
But are you really saying that this Batman is worse than any of the Batboys? Surely we can share that viewpoint in common, that this young Batman is better than all the Robins?

Arkham Knight batsuit
I love it. Easily the best original video game suit
lmao, sometimes that happens
I dunno, I'd be up for it at least on "this looks interesting" grounds. I don't think we've ever had a grey-blue suit in the live action movies, right? Except for that overdesigned silver stuff in Batman & Robin, but that's not really a "grey-blue" combination like the 70s Batman suit.
I do prefer the grey-black combination, tbh.
god I love BTAS' entire aesthetic and design - and, yes, the Batsuit obviously is a part of that. To the question of "do you prefer grey with black or with blue" BTAS went with "yes." and we were all winners for that
And those red skies... loved them.
Of course. The outfit just isn't on-par with regular bat outfits.
I love Affleck Batman, but the Knightfall batsuit has been my favorite since I was a kid in the 90's lol

The Batman Begins suit was nearly perfect to me; all it needed was a more functional cowl/neck collar, similar to the one in TDK. But, aesthetically, I thought it was a neat cross between a tactical military suit and a traditional comic inspired batsuit (the bat symbol was much better than the one Nolan used in the sequels):
I especially loved the design when Batman had the cape draped over him:

This is the correct answer but video games are cheating.Arkham Knight batsuit
Seen, the Batman 89 suit sucks for these various reasons;
1. It was basically all black, which was boring and not the Batman color-scheme of the time.
2. It added weird, unnecessary feet to the iconic bat-symbol.
3. The actor couldnt move in the goddamn thing.
Reminded me of how my cousins and I would run around with towels clipped to our shirts using clothespins pretending to be superheroes when we were five.

This is the true answer, although Batman 66 Adam West is a close runner up.
Now I'm a huge advocate of Batman Begins, and honestly kind of hated how it immediately got so overshadowed by Dark Knight, but from a design standpoint I could never get over the dumb little cape clips Batman has on his shoulders in BeginsThe Batman Begins suit was nearly perfect to me; all it needed was a more functional cowl/neck collar, similar to the one in TDK.

I wish they could have done the 89 suit with the Batman returns symbol. But I'm a sucker for the 89 suit regardless. That cowl is amazing.
I like Parttinsons suit but hate the nose. It makes the rest of the suit look amateurish.

Agreed. Reminds me of the Arkham Origins suit.I like the one from the Batman
Looks very formidable and something a billionaire could afford. Heard some remarks about the cowl, but don't really care.
Pattinson's Batman suit probably isn't my ideal batsuit design on paper, but I think it's far and away the best looking on-screen. All the others look a bit Halloween costumey but the Pattinson Batsuit actually looks halfway functional, and is lit and framed really well.
The Keaton suit still feels the most "this is Batman" level of iconic, but obviously it moves like shit and would look silly in something like The Batman or Dark Knight.

Top 10 comic book moment tbh.
Not actually my favorite, but I was disgusted that I didn't see it posted.

That arc was so well done, it made me feel paranoid. It has this whole stench of feeling unsafe everywhere, of your entire reality feeling besieged. Court of Owls kinda did the same for me, later on.

Context? Looks like Magneto
It's between the '89 and Battinson suits for me. The Batman suit surprised me because I initially hated the reveal, but seeing it in action really showed how well it works. I really love the blue edits of Pattinson's suit too.
As much as I hate the movie, this suit is absolutely incredible. For me, the "no tactical armor style", as you wonderfully worded it, is far superior to metal plated body armor batman. If this one would have finally taken the step to MCU-Style white eyes, it would be literally perfect imo, but the cheap looking eyeholes keep being a downer on every single movie Batsuit.
This one is so good, it feels very comic book, and doesn't follow the "tactical armour" modern take. It also doesn't look rubbery when many of the others do.
The Pattinson one is cool, the dark eye make up was a brilliant touch.
edit boom

For live action, the Affleck suit just nails it. It was the only thing Snyder's Batman did right. I'm also really fond of the Pattinson suit.
For animation, Batman Beyond is head and shoulders above anything else. The DCAMU suits are pretty good too.
For comics, The Long Halloween/Dark Victory is my favorite Bruce Wayne suit, but I fucking love Future State's Batsuit for Tim Fox is incredible. The emblem in particular looks fantastic.

Pattison's would be my #2 as well, despite the modern armor type suit. Very well designed.
I mean, in a bubble it's a cool look, but it will forever be tainted as being "the batsuit created by an embarrassing libertarian Von Mises fanboy".My personal favourite is the Batman Year 100 suit
I can at least see what they were going for with the clips, although I can't recall any other Batsuit using them, other than Schumacher. In terms of practicality, it would allow Batman to easily remove his cape in a situation where it got caught on something and avoid this type of awkward situation:
Lois Lane discovers Batman's identity

I think Nolan was probably experimenting on how realistic he wanted the suit to appear in his first movie, and there was maybe some input from the costume designers to have the clips so the cape could more easily fall along Bale's shoulders for those handful of scenes where he has it draped over the suit.
So back in the 50s, an alien version of Batman with a purple, red and yellow batsuit needed help on his planet, Zur-En-Arrh, so he recruited Earth's Batman. It was left ambiguous in the story as to whether or not it was a dream or if it really happened.
Then Grant Morrison took that idea and made it into an alternate personality of Bruce Wayne's triggered by the phrase Zur-En-Arrh, which is explained to be Bruce's misunderstanding of his father's last words. This personality is extremely violent.
Abso-goddamn-lutely.
It was visually dynamic and colorfully diverse.
It was a faithful representation of the suit it was based on.
The actor could actually move around and perform in it.
All modern live action batsuits are basically a failing exercise in the rule-of-cool. They got it right in 66
Oh yeah, the Bat-Symbol falling into West's doughy mid-section is definitely a problem, but I'll take that any day over Batman 89, who literally just stands there and watches a couple get mugged and assaulted because his outfit restricts him from having an actual goddamn action scene...
for movies I like Pattison's the best cause he looks like a detective, good mix of practicality and fashion
also I like how you can see the grapple hooks on his wrists, it's like a prototype for his in prime suit
for comics, knightfall bruce bats my fav suit

I did not expect this to show up in this threadI'm going to go full chaotic neutral with my entry:
I remember reading a story that Adam West literally cried when he was told he wasn't going to be Batman in Tim Button's movie.Abso-goddamn-lutely.

The man cared about the role. As silly as the show could be, he did understand Batman and played him with passion.
