Yeah, this is pretty accurate to my top 5. I didn't understand the hate Barrington's suit got, it was my personal favourite of the live action suits. The batsuits from the Arkham series deserves a honorable mention, even though they're games and not movies. City suit, Origins suit, Armoured Knight suit are perfection
Batfleck all the way When I think about Batman I picture intimidation And sheer brute force And that Batman's perfect adaptation of it It reminded me of the Arkham games
@Papa_Straight Dang right, I love Christian Bale as batman, but him and Pattinson are way too small to be the big bad Batman, I mean, Pattinson literally a couple years before played a skinny vampire like come on
thanks for putting Ben Affleck's suit in first its my favourite batman suit and you also showed me exactly why I never really like Christian Bale's suit and why I love Robert Pattinson's suit great video 😁😁👍
The Batman Begins suit looks more organic and intimidating. The thick cowl and the overall shell look of the suit makes it look more solid. The Dark Knight rises suit looks as if he stuck a whole lot of "hockey pads" in strategic places! Also remember Cristian Bale had more weight on him in the Batman Begins movie. So his look was more staunch and solid. In The Dark Knight Rises , he lost a lot of his muscle bulk to look more lean and agile .Sorry , to me Batman is built like a tank ,and not lean and shredded like Spiderman or the Flash. His physique is similar to that of Thor's and Superman.
The Dark Knight suit was peak Batman for me. Maybe I'm a bit biased just cause I grew up with the Cristopher Nolan trilogy. The Arkham games and that masterpiece of a trilogy will always hold a special place in my heart.
My favorites: 1. Robert Pattinson 2. Michael Keaton (1989) 3. Michael Keaton (2023) 4. Michael Keaton (1992) 5. Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) 6. Ben Affleck (Justice League) 7. Adam West. 8. Christian Bale (Batman begins) And the rest.
I love the Dark Knight Suit. It would be number 2 for me. It makes so much sense to me. The regular Affleck suit is 1, and the Justice league final battle suit without goggles is my number 3.
i would say an honorable mention being Batman VS Predator fan film batsuit. the cape, the cowl, the fabric clothes that doesn't hide the actors workout muscles. perfection
My favourite batsuit is the returns one. It looks intimidating, but it also goes for simplistic armour as opposed to the rubber muscles. It has my favourite logo and the black looks really good on the suit. I’ve recently felt very divided on the yellow belt for Keaton, on one hand it really adds good contrast to the suit, on the other hand it looks goofy to me, in what way would anyone in reality wear a yellow belt. The new Keaton suit showed me what the suit looks like with a black and silver belt as an alternative.
Yeah the yellow belt isn’t very practical but I think it adds much needed colour to the suit, if he’s got a yellow logo he may as well have a yellow belt! Thanks for watching
I do not understand why people love batfleck’s suit so much. He looks way too bulky and the suit just seems paper thin. It doesn’t look terrible, but not nearly as good as so many people say it is
Fr he looks like he used too much steroids + his suit looks like pajama idk. Im not big fan of ben afleck‘s batman generally. I really enjoyed 2022 batman and his suit. Finally true gotham look. Dark and rainy i love it!
Batfleck looks like a fat clown in tight suit xD. U know when i watch i cant really believe in all of that movement. It doesnt look real. I would laugh if i saw this dude in his suit calling him batman :D
I personally will never understand how some people prefer the Begins suit to TDK. For me they're night and day in terms of quality but it's interesting how everyone's different
I can totally see why people would prefer TDK but for me it’s massively over designed and loses the effect of a batsuit and just becomes robot armour with ears. I think begins has a good design (apart from the cowl) but it all gets lost in the single colour
TBH, I think the best thing Nolan did to Batman was to finish his trilogy and let other people play around with the character LOL but I am one of those who think the Begins suit looks better. For me, it's the logo, color and how he looks more menacing and otherworldly with that visual. TDK is legit over designed. Affleck's JL suit is a great example of how to do an armoured Batman. Snyder, as much as I hate every other aspect of what he did to the character, nailed the look. Matt Reeves did a great job as well. Given the context, I'd even place every pre-Nolan suit above Bale's suits.
@@narcisosanz8137 Batflecks BvS suit is the best imo. Pattinsons is amazing too. Then I'd say TDK. Val Kilmer and Clooneys suits I can't stand personally and Keatons I think are overrated but i do like how everyone has such a different opinion
@@Pepsi_Man_Max yeah, it's fun to talk about it and see how wildly different opinions can be! Besides my on preferences, I really take under consideration what the filmmakers were going for and how the suits relate to their surroundings. In my opinion, Schumacher is underrated and gets hate for no reason. By now, we shouldn't take his Batman too seriously. His sculpted suits are okay if we look at his neon metropolitan city with giant greek statues here and there. Like, the suit relates to its environment as much as Nolan's TDK suit relates to its Chigaco-ish take on Gotham (which I really dislike). Also, if you take a look, the Begins suit is almost the same as Clooney's ice suit, but all black. And I love the nightmare Gotham Chris Nolan built in the first movie and I wish he'd stuck with that. BvS is my favourite suit as well. Keaton is a close second and I love how The Flash updated it. My ideal big batsuit would have the Affleck texture and colour scheme, Begins/Pattinson slim body, Begins or Keaton's logo, Pattinson's belt and Affleck's jawline. I'm daydreaming lol I could spend all day talking about this subject. Sorry for my loooooong comments hahahaha
Michael Keaton has a classic look, the Val Kilmer panther suit was great but his sonar suit was so much better looking, and of course i love Batfleck. It's very similar to the animated versions of the characters with the grey and black.
Agreed, I love the Batfleck Batsuits, it’s arguably the most comic accurate Batsuit ever made for live-action. Well, Adam West’s Batsuit is a close second.
Adam West is still my favorite, I love the Angry Eyebrows that are painted on, colors are pretty good and its one of the few Costumes with the shorts. _I'm also Blinded by Nostalgia_
The Pattinson suit is my personal favorite for being real, but as a Batman suit, I feel like the Affleck BvS suit is just the best at being a "Batman" suit.
I 1000% agree the number 1 spot going to the default Batfleck suit! I know people whine about SnyderVerse and crap like that, but despite its chunky flaws, this is the most comic accurate batsuit in live action EVER!
Top tier list! I also love Pattinson's suit. Great balance of the armor and the gray kind of classic color scheme. But Ben's definitely is top of the list lol. Hands down. Great video
I absolutely adore the Battinson suit. It’s in my top 3 favorite Batman designs of all time along with the Arkham Asylum game design, and the Justice League animated series design. To me the Battinson suit is just the best looking of all the tactical/armored designs, I love how sleek yet armored and protective the suit looks, and the mask shape and overall design is awesome. Something about the way it looks on the face makes him look more youthful, and Nirvana angsty like how Bruce is portrayed in the film. I also love the collar, because it adds to that vampiric aesthetic that Batman is associated with, and it’s something that could have easily clashed with the tactical look of the rest of the suit, but it doesn’t because the collar itself isn’t too distracting or over the top, but just noticeable enough to add a lot of appeal to the design. Also the first Batfleck suit being number 1, while I personally disagree, I have to say is 100% valid. It is quite an incredible take on the Dark Knight returns design of Batman, but for me personally I was never a big fan of that design. I’m personally just not a fan of the short bat ears, and wider bat logo, and ridiculously hulking body build, though it definitely looks more natural on film because it’s a real person, and not a stylized comic. But either way, I really can’t complain about comic accurate suits, so in that sense, that suit, as well as the final swing suit for spider-man from no way home are absolutely incredible. We definitely need more suits for superheroes in live action that look like they were ripped straight from the pages of the comics.
Fantastic comment and thanks for the insights! I agree with everything you say but of course I favour the Batfleck look. Thanks so much for watching and commenting
I love how the BvS suit is able to make a cloth suit look badass I also love his batmobile. It's a perfect mixture of the dark Knight batmobile and the Tim Burton batmobile I use them all the time in Arkham knight
I like this. In comics, movies and games Batman has had more suits than any other character. My favourite suits of all time are from the Arkhamverse. 1. The Batman 2. The Dark Knight 3. Batman Begins 4. Batman Returns 5. Batman 89 6. Batman vs Superman (I hate the Knightmare and Flash suits) 7. Batman 66 8. Batman Forever 9. Batman and Robin
As an early 2000s kid that grew up during that period and consumed a lot of 90s media, Keaton for me. I’m a sucker for Neal Adams’ iconic look and Keaton’s suit is basically the Neal Adams in all black. Also Troika Batman look in the comics which I’m sure took inspiration from Neal Adams & Keaton. That cowl and iconic yellow oval just screams Batman to me and is the first thing I think of. Plus Batman being in all Black is great. Keaton’s Batman in the Flash was moving quick and doing things you’d see in the Arkham games so it made the suit and Keaton look even greater. Like Batfleck too but he’s a bit too bulky and heavy looking for me which by proxy is my thoughts about the Frank Miller’s Dark Knight. I prefer my Batman to be more leaner than bulky. Greg Capullo New 52 and Neal Adams scratch that itch for me.
I understand this is all personal opinion but, I just don’t understand why people will rank the Batman forever suit at a bottom spot while keatons suit is a top 5 when they are indeed very similar suits. All black suit, a little stiff, muscles everywhere, standard boots, gloves, cape, and cowl. Really the only huge differences are the yellow on Keatons suit which does look nicer that way however, forevers suit does have better movement and the material looks a bit cleaner; so it has positives over the Keaton suit in some areas I just feel it’s unfair that people say “bat nipples” and it instantly drops the forever suit to the bottom cause that’s the main complaint I hear is “bat nipples”
As you say the main improvement on the Kilmer suit is the movement, it looks far more agile than Keatons. But I have issues with it, like I mention int his video, other than just the nipples. Firstly the loss of belt colour just makes it feel so much more boring and monochromatic. The other issue for me is it doesn’t really have an identity, it’s just like it’s trying to be a Keaton suit rather than it’s own thing. Keaton, Bale, Affleck, Pattinson - they all have a distinct suit feeling, but this Kilmer suit is just a fake Keaton suit and I think his sonar suit gives him more of a distinct vibe. And of course, the nipples are just bad, they do not belong on a batsuit and if any of the other suits had nipples they would end up lower on this list. It’s just bizarre, if they added them to a superman or spider-man suit I would feel the same way. While lots of people say, if you ignore the nipples it would be a good suit, at the end of the day it does have nipples and I can’t overlook them. And even without them, it would get higher up my list - maybe to above the flash Affleck suit, but it still wouldn’t get very high
@@CINEMAZE Trust me I understand and like I said it’s all just opinion. I just feel that sometimes people will look at the quality of the movie (not saying you) and claim something like the forever suit to be bad while ignoring it’s similarities to the Keaton suit. In terms of them looking distinct from eachother like other actors portrayals; to be fair the movies are suppose to be the same continuity (which is kinda weird) so definitely is why they look similar in that regard I do have to say that I appreciate how you did acknowledge the similarities and I do agree Keatons suit has some positives over forevers. My point is just that they’re similar enough; which makes it odd IMO to put one at a bottom spot and the other at a top spot but, like I said it is opinion which makes rankings fun and I can see where you’re coming from. Personally I feel the Keaton suit looks better in terms of having yellow highlights while forevers exceeds in a better looking rubber quality and the style of the belt looks pretty nice. The sonar suit did indeed look pretty good as well like you said. Overall though IMO the true underrated suit here though is the Robin suit. Kept the classic comic accurate colors and design while making it look a bit more modern. Also love the reasoning as to why he calls himself Robin
Another thing I really like about the Paterson suit is he leaves the eyeshadow on rather than editing it out, because realistically if Batman was going to have his eyes blacked out like that you’d see it when he took the cowl off.
batman's suit is supposed to aid him in his crusade. now given that batman works and fights from the shadows, it logically makes sense that the batsuit would be almost completely black, so that batman can better blend into the shadows
I mean I do like the Begins suit since it’s an improvement over Keaton’s as it does allow more movement. I do wish that the main suit was gray and the crouch was colored jet black to reference the trunks. The cowl and gloves should also be jet black to match the cape gauntlets and boots he wears.
I really don’t think it’s that iconic, the Keaton suit is far more iconic in my opinion and being iconic is definitely worth points but it doesn’t get you to the top spot
The Dark Knight suit is the best, simply because it gives the vibe that the suit is real, functional and something Batman would wear if he really existed
@@CINEMAZE Learn how to properly read, IowIife. 🖕🏼 You act like you're so intelligent in your videos but you can't read a simple sentence lmfao. Pathetic.
Adam West, Michael Keaton, and Christian Bale are my favorite Batman’s. Those are my absolute favorite movies… but the Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson batsuits are seriously the coolest looking ones. My opinion of course
My favourite is Batman 1989 it’s just pure classic and feels like Batman it’s intimidating It’s not too bulky like in the Nolan films and it doesn’t look as goofy and I do love the suit in returns and in the flash! I love Robert Patterson Batman suit that’s my second favourite and my third favourite would be Ben Affleck’s! My least favourite suit it’s unpopular opinion it has to be Christian Bale in the Nolan Batman trilogy.. it’s just not very creative it’s bland looking it’s goofy especially in Batman begins It’s just nothing about the suit makes it stand out.. the nose is weird and bulky goofy looking.. I know technically in Batman forever and Batman and Robin is worse suit versions but it’s hilariously bad I can make fun of it and enjoy it😅 Great video as always!
Glad we agree on the 3 best, just in a different order! I just favour the suits with more colour rather than just black. I agree the Bale suits are disappointing, they don’t feel as modern as they should. Thanks for watching as always
@@CINEMAZE am I the only one who thinks Ben Affleck Batman armored Batsuit in BVS Dawn of Justice is slightly underrated designed suit? I know it looks slightly goofy but I thought it was incredibly creative especially the light blue eyes!
There are pics of Pattinson edited with white eyes and it looks amazing (as well as a more closed mouth piece for the cowl). Telltale did the white eyes, but they were electronic lenses, and I think that is a "real" way of pulling it off.
The ultimate batman suit for me would be Ben Affleck standard BvS suit but with the Michael Keaton belt, the Keaton Batman Returns cowl and logo. But I'm OK with the Batman 89 suit but with the Batman Returns cowl and logo.
Although maybe not the best incarnation, I'll forever be partial to how I felt seeing the 1989 bat suit as compared to that campy set of pajamas from the 1960s comedy.
The bvs suit is the best batman suit yet just like Affleck with that physique is the best batman yet. Bro even has the best fight of a Batman. He even looks the part while he's Bruce. Damn
It would be a much better suit without the nipples, although still quite derivative of Keaton but unfortunately it has the nipples which massively brings it down. They have no reason to be there and if you took my top picks and added nipples they would be much lower on the list
Great list. I agree on your #1 pick as it looks like it was ripped straight out of the comics. I would _love_ if we could maybe one day get a live action suit like the Arkham Knight one. The 8.03 version
That’s really cool and reasonable, but here’s my list: (I won’t rank the nightmare suit, as it wasn’t really a real bat suit, kinda feels wrong to put it here) 16. Adam West suit 15. Clooney icing suit 14. Base Clooney Suit 13. Kilmer Sonar Suit 12. Affleck’s suit from the Flash 11. BvS mech suit 10. Tactical Batsuit 9. Panther Suit (if not the nipples, it would be higher) 8. Affleck JL Suit 7. Batman Returns Suit (great, but the torso design just doesn’t work for me) 6. Batman Begins Suit 5. BvS base suit 4. Pattinson’s Batsuit 3. Keaton’s suit from The Flash 2. Batman 89 Batsuit 1. The Dark Knight Suit
The post Burton suits get too much hate. They ain’t the best but the Clooney main suit is kinda good, not great or amazing but take those babies out and you got a nice and simple suit that’s a twist on the classic Batman look, going all dark blue. Way better imo than the Freeze and Battinson suit
I respect your rankings and I agree with most of them, but I think that I should also consider the purpose for the suits. As for the Christian Bale dark knight, the cowl neck moves easier, the black helps for staying hidden in the dark, and it fits the more slim but menacing, agile, and better for martial arts. It’s just my opinion tho. I can tell how much I like that suite😂. Nice video tho! Imma sub for u man! Edit:not only that but it has more of a pointing cutting look for the cowl instead of the round looking nose of the Robert Pattinson Batman. If they fixed the cowl on the Robert Pattinson Bat suit, it would be the top for me, and if they fixed the gliding suit.
I understand all that in theory but in practice the neck just looks weird and it really doesn’t seem that agile and good for martial arts, it still seems very restrictive. Glad you like it though and thanks so much for watching and subscribing !
Personal Top 5 1: BvS Affleck Suit 2. The Batman Pattinson Suit 3. Justice League Affleck Suit 4. Batman Begins Bale Suit 5. Dark Knight (Rises) Bale Suit
This is just looking at the theatrical movies, it didn’t feel fair to compare million dollar theatrical films to lower budget serials, and ultimately those suits would be low down the list
8:14 i think the really big and imposing neck does help it with intimidation Also just watched batman begins on the flight back home, excellent movie and now i love batman
Kind of wild how different my list is. The top 10 shuffles a bit but I'd put Kilmer's panther suit higher, and Flash Affleck and Keaton, and the Sonic and mr freeze suit like bottom 5. Horrible suits imo.
eh i’d switch those last two. batman vs superman feels less like batman and more like some bodybuilder who wears a cowl. the batman movie just feels so real.
I think at times, the goggles on the justice league one looked better than others. I definitely agree with Clooney and Kilmers being the lowest, but I'm not sure which one is my favorite
My mindset: He's a billionaire and the point of dressing as a bat was to scare criminals with theatrics. For that reason, I'm not a fan of the hyper-tactical/armored looks where they aren't warranted. So here's my ranking from best to worst: Top 10: ------------------------------------------------------------ HiTop Films Batman Batman: Dying is Easy The BvS Suit The Justice League Tactical Suit The Adam West Suit (It works for its series) The Batman Returns Suit The 1989 suit The Nightmare Suit The Val Kilmer Suit (I will forgive the nipples ONCE) The Flash's Keaton Suit ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Batman Begins suit The Batman (1940s) Suit (Notes, Caveat: See the bottom) The BvS Mech Suit The Batman Suit The Dark Knight Suit The Flash's Batflek Suit The Batman and Robin (1940s) Suit (see notes) Batman Forever Sonar Suit Batman & Robin suit Batman & Robin Ice suit Notes: For the 1940s suit, a lot of work needs to be done. If brought into the modern era, it would look fantastic. The Cowl and neck areas need some reinforcing so they're more rigid, and the fabrics should look like fancy kevlar. A $20 amazon purchase and some paint would make the belt 10,000x better. Finally, give it a longer cape. The Batman and Robin 1940s suit is included because it's the same suit remade, but all of its problems are worsened to the degree that the ears no longer share a zip code. I'm very partial to the iconic Grey and Black/Blue Look. I would LOVE to see a batsuit that's more legends of the Dark Knight in aesthetic, maybe with some shoulder spikes like the 80s suit or the flashpoint suit had. The heavily armored suits are ok for one-off situations where he's fighting a really dangerous foe (like a Justice League-level threat), but in cases like The Dark Knight and The Batman it just kinda ruins the aesthetic and theatrics.
Super interesting comment and list, thanks for watching and commenting. IMO I prefer no armour to allow for a more stealthy/martial arts look but I prefer armour over the complete black suits which loses a lot of the design and would rather black and grey/blue armoured over no armour. I think armour is fine if it suits the world, TDK and The Batman are very realistic settings and so Batman can be a bit more armoured but in worlds that are more fantastical (like the snyderverse) it makes sense to have much more flexible suits which are still very strong
Pattinson gives me heavy Netflix daredevil vibes I think that’s why I love it
So true!
Real
Pattinson, Charlie Cox and Andrew Garfield were all roommates in college
His batman costume is good then you realize it's so stupid and crap except the bullet proof part
@@Customs25 Really?

the right top five .
It is correct to call that "Mecha"?. Iron Monger and Tony Stark's Hulk Buster are mecha Suits, but I think that is only a Bat-armor.
The art book for the film and the DCEU wiki call it the Mech suit so it’s valid
Yeah, this is pretty accurate to my top 5. I didn't understand the hate Barrington's suit got, it was my personal favourite of the live action suits. The batsuits from the Arkham series deserves a honorable mention, even though they're games and not movies. City suit, Origins suit, Armoured Knight suit are perfection
Loved the list. The Battinson suit is my personal fav, even tho i dont like his nose It feels like it can exist more than any other suit
Thanks for the support and that’s so true, it feels very realistic and pieced together in a natural way
The nose was inspired by the Adam West cowl if that helps you appreciate it a bit more :)
@@kaesar69 also the shape of the cowl itself was based on the human skull, giving it this menacing but calm look

The Batman Begins suit looks more organic and intimidating. The thick cowl and the overall shell look of the suit makes it look more solid. The Dark Knight rises suit looks as if he stuck a whole lot of "hockey pads" in strategic places! Also remember Cristian Bale had more weight on him in the Batman Begins movie. So his look was more staunch and solid.

I love the Dark Knight Suit. It would be number 2 for me. It makes so much sense to me. The regular Affleck suit is 1, and the Justice league final battle suit without goggles is my number 3.
i would say an honorable mention being Batman VS Predator fan film batsuit. the cape, the cowl, the fabric clothes that doesn't hide the actors workout muscles. perfection
It’s a great take on a very simple classic batsuit
My favourite batsuit is the returns one. It looks intimidating, but it also goes for simplistic armour as opposed to the rubber muscles. It has my favourite logo and the black looks really good on the suit. I’ve recently felt very divided on the yellow belt for Keaton, on one hand it really adds good contrast to the suit, on the other hand it looks goofy to me, in what way would anyone in reality wear a yellow belt. The new Keaton suit showed me what the suit looks like with a black and silver belt as an alternative.
Yeah the yellow belt isn’t very practical but I think it adds much needed colour to the suit, if he’s got a yellow logo he may as well have a yellow belt! Thanks for watching

Batfleck suit gotta be always first until a good suit comes out
I do not understand why people love batfleck’s suit so much. He looks way too bulky and the suit just seems paper thin. It doesn’t look terrible, but not nearly as good as so many people say it is
The thin material is how I always pictured the suit in the comics so for me it brought it to life in a way that seemed real
Fr he looks like he used too much steroids + his suit looks like pajama idk. Im not big fan of ben afleck‘s batman generally. I really enjoyed 2022 batman and his suit. Finally true gotham look. Dark and rainy i love it!
Batfleck looks like a fat clown in tight suit xD. U know when i watch i cant really believe in all of that movement. It doesnt look real. I would laugh if i saw this dude in his suit calling him batman :D
I agree, why are his ears so short?
I agree, I don’t like it at all
battinson's cape is ever so slightly reminiscent of gotham by gaslight, and thats just way too sexy imo
I agree with your number 1. Ben Affleck's suit is the coolest one ever. Second is Keaton's in our opinion. Pattison third.
Least-newest batman (Affleck one, flash)
Favorite - The batman (pattenson)
I personally will never understand how some people prefer the Begins suit to TDK. For me they're night and day in terms of quality but it's interesting how everyone's different
I can totally see why people would prefer TDK but for me it’s massively over designed and loses the effect of a batsuit and just becomes robot armour with ears. I think begins has a good design (apart from the cowl) but it all gets lost in the single colour
@@CINEMAZE that's fair. I do agree that Batflecks BvS suit is the peak though, I have 0 faults with that suit
TBH, I think the best thing Nolan did to Batman was to finish his trilogy and let other people play around with the character LOL but I am one of those who think the Begins suit looks better.
For me, it's the logo, color and how he looks more menacing and otherworldly with that visual. TDK is legit over designed. Affleck's JL suit is a great example of how to do an armoured Batman.
Snyder, as much as I hate every other aspect of what he did to the character, nailed the look. Matt Reeves did a great job as well. Given the context, I'd even place every pre-Nolan suit above Bale's suits.
@@narcisosanz8137 Batflecks BvS suit is the best imo. Pattinsons is amazing too. Then I'd say TDK. Val Kilmer and Clooneys suits I can't stand personally and Keatons I think are overrated but i do like how everyone has such a different opinion
@@Pepsi_Man_Max yeah, it's fun to talk about it and see how wildly different opinions can be!
Besides my on preferences, I really take under consideration what the filmmakers were going for and how the suits relate to their surroundings. In my opinion, Schumacher is underrated and gets hate for no reason. By now, we shouldn't take his Batman too seriously. His sculpted suits are okay if we look at his neon metropolitan city with giant greek statues here and there. Like, the suit relates to its environment as much as Nolan's TDK suit relates to its Chigaco-ish take on Gotham (which I really dislike).
Also, if you take a look, the Begins suit is almost the same as Clooney's ice suit, but all black. And I love the nightmare Gotham Chris Nolan built in the first movie and I wish he'd stuck with that.
BvS is my favourite suit as well. Keaton is a close second and I love how The Flash updated it.
My ideal big batsuit would have the Affleck texture and colour scheme, Begins/Pattinson slim body, Begins or Keaton's logo, Pattinson's belt and Affleck's jawline. I'm daydreaming lol
I could spend all day talking about this subject. Sorry for my loooooong comments hahahaha
The cowl on Batfleck is so perfect, it literally looks like Batman Arkham City cover art.
He was the best live action Batman by a billion miles.
great video man, really well made
Thanks so much, appreciate it
Michael Keaton has a classic look, the Val Kilmer panther suit was great but his sonar suit was so much better looking, and of course i love Batfleck. It's very similar to the animated versions of the characters with the grey and black.
Agreed, I love the Batfleck Batsuits, it’s arguably the most comic accurate Batsuit ever made for live-action. Well, Adam West’s Batsuit is a close second.
Adam West is still my favorite, I love the Angry Eyebrows that are painted on, colors are pretty good and its one of the few Costumes with the shorts.
_I'm also Blinded by Nostalgia_
True, can’t believe I didn’t talk about the shorts! Everyone talks about superman trunks but not Batman’s
The Pattinson suit is my personal favorite for being real, but as a Batman suit, I feel like the Affleck BvS suit is just the best at being a "Batman" suit.
Perfect way to put it
I absolutely agree with your number one suit, but 2 and 3 should have been the "Batman Returns" suit and the Batman '89 suit.
I 1000% agree the number 1 spot going to the default Batfleck suit! I know people whine about SnyderVerse and crap like that, but despite its chunky flaws, this is the most comic accurate batsuit in live action EVER!
That and Ben Afleck looks so huge and intimidating.
Actually felt like he was ripped out of a comic book.
That comic flash at 7:20 is crazy
Top tier list! I also love Pattinson's suit. Great balance of the armor and the gray kind of classic color scheme. But Ben's definitely is top of the list lol. Hands down. Great video
Awesome totally agree! Thanks for watching as always!
I really like the collar on pattinson batman suit it protects his neck and he can actually turn his head.
Good call! I love using the BvS suit in Arkham Knight. Definitely my favorite.
Awesome; thanks for watching
I always like Clooneys Black and Silver armor. Haha
😮
Love the Pattinson suit but I will never understand the love for the batfleck suit
I think it’s because it’s the first fabric looking suit like the comics and it translates really well
same goes to me why Pattinson suit ranks so high. In my humble opinion, the suit looks weak, and the cow doesnt work for me
I absolutely adore the Battinson suit. It’s in my top 3 favorite Batman designs of all time along with the Arkham Asylum game design, and the Justice League animated series design. To me the Battinson suit is just the best looking of all the tactical/armored designs, I love how sleek yet armored and protective the suit looks, and the mask shape and overall design is awesome. Something about the way it looks on the face makes him look more youthful, and Nirvana angsty like how Bruce is portrayed in the film. I also love the collar, because it adds to that vampiric aesthetic that Batman is associated with, and it’s something that could have easily clashed with the tactical look of the rest of the suit, but it doesn’t because the collar itself isn’t too distracting or over the top, but just noticeable enough to add a lot of appeal to the design.
Also the first Batfleck suit being number 1, while I personally disagree, I have to say is 100% valid. It is quite an incredible take on the Dark Knight returns design of Batman, but for me personally I was never a big fan of that design. I’m personally just not a fan of the short bat ears, and wider bat logo, and ridiculously hulking body build, though it definitely looks more natural on film because it’s a real person, and not a stylized comic. But either way, I really can’t complain about comic accurate suits, so in that sense, that suit, as well as the final swing suit for spider-man from no way home are absolutely incredible. We definitely need more suits for superheroes in live action that look like they were ripped straight from the pages of the comics.
Fantastic comment and thanks for the insights! I agree with everything you say but of course I favour the Batfleck look. Thanks so much for watching and commenting
Val kilmer suit in the beginning of the movie is my favorite
Good to know that someone else has a soft spot for the Panther suit.
Good Batman suit vid!
Thanks so much!
I love how the BvS suit is able to make a cloth suit look badass
I also love his batmobile. It's a perfect mixture of the dark Knight batmobile and the Tim Burton batmobile
I use them all the time in Arkham knight
Yeah the way they bring the cloth to live action is awesome, thanks for watching
I always loved the Batman Returns suit, its just perfect, i never liked the ones with the sculpted muscle on them
I like this. In comics, movies and games Batman has had more suits than any other character. My favourite suits of all time are from the Arkhamverse.
1. The Batman
2. The Dark Knight
3. Batman Begins
4. Batman Returns
5. Batman 89
6. Batman vs Superman (I hate the Knightmare and Flash suits)
7. Batman 66
8. Batman Forever
9. Batman and Robin
As an early 2000s kid that grew up during that period and consumed a lot of 90s media, Keaton for me. I’m a sucker for Neal Adams’ iconic look and Keaton’s suit is basically the Neal Adams in all black. Also Troika Batman look in the comics which I’m sure took inspiration from Neal Adams & Keaton.
That cowl and iconic yellow oval just screams Batman to me and is the first thing I think of. Plus Batman being in all Black is great. Keaton’s Batman in the Flash was moving quick and doing things you’d see in the Arkham games so it made the suit and Keaton look even greater.
Like Batfleck too but he’s a bit too bulky and heavy looking for me which by proxy is my thoughts about the Frank Miller’s Dark Knight. I prefer my Batman to be more leaner than bulky. Greg Capullo New 52 and Neal Adams scratch that itch for me.
I understand this is all personal opinion but, I just don’t understand why people will rank the Batman forever suit at a bottom spot while keatons suit is a top 5 when they are indeed very similar suits.
All black suit, a little stiff, muscles everywhere, standard boots, gloves, cape, and cowl. Really the only huge differences are the yellow on Keatons suit which does look nicer that way however, forevers suit does have better movement and the material looks a bit cleaner; so it has positives over the Keaton suit in some areas
I just feel it’s unfair that people say “bat nipples” and it instantly drops the forever suit to the bottom cause that’s the main complaint I hear is “bat nipples”
As you say the main improvement on the Kilmer suit is the movement, it looks far more agile than Keatons.
But I have issues with it, like I mention int his video, other than just the nipples.
Firstly the loss of belt colour just makes it feel so much more boring and monochromatic.
The other issue for me is it doesn’t really have an identity, it’s just like it’s trying to be a Keaton suit rather than it’s own thing. Keaton, Bale, Affleck, Pattinson - they all have a distinct suit feeling, but this Kilmer suit is just a fake Keaton suit and I think his sonar suit gives him more of a distinct vibe.
And of course, the nipples are just bad, they do not belong on a batsuit and if any of the other suits had nipples they would end up lower on this list. It’s just bizarre, if they added them to a superman or spider-man suit I would feel the same way.
While lots of people say, if you ignore the nipples it would be a good suit, at the end of the day it does have nipples and I can’t overlook them. And even without them, it would get higher up my list - maybe to above the flash Affleck suit, but it still wouldn’t get very high
@@CINEMAZE Trust me I understand and like I said it’s all just opinion. I just feel that sometimes people will look at the quality of the movie (not saying you) and claim something like the forever suit to be bad while ignoring it’s similarities to the Keaton suit.
In terms of them looking distinct from eachother like other actors portrayals; to be fair the movies are suppose to be the same continuity (which is kinda weird) so definitely is why they look similar in that regard
I do have to say that I appreciate how you did acknowledge the similarities and I do agree Keatons suit has some positives over forevers. My point is just that they’re similar enough; which makes it odd IMO to put one at a bottom spot and the other at a top spot but, like I said it is opinion which makes rankings fun and I can see where you’re coming from.
Personally I feel the Keaton suit looks better in terms of having yellow highlights while forevers exceeds in a better looking rubber quality and the style of the belt looks pretty nice. The sonar suit did indeed look pretty good as well like you said.
Overall though IMO the true underrated suit here though is the Robin suit. Kept the classic comic accurate colors and design while making it look a bit more modern. Also love the reasoning as to why he calls himself Robin
I agree with this ranking 🔥
Awesome, thanks for sharing
Another thing I really like about the Paterson suit is he leaves the eyeshadow on rather than editing it out, because realistically if Batman was going to have his eyes blacked out like that you’d see it when he took the cowl off.
100% agree
Batfleck vs Slade movie with Snyder at the helm would’ve been peak cinema
Really would have been interesting, although wasn’t it Affleck who was attached as director not Snyder?
I liked the sonar suit from Batman forever, definitely one of the best out of those films
Of those films it’s one of the best but still not great compared with all films
batman's suit is supposed to aid him in his crusade. now given that batman works and fights from the shadows, it logically makes sense that the batsuit would be almost completely black, so that batman can better blend into the shadows
True but it makes for a way less visually interesting suit, especially when so many of them are black
In my opinion the non armour batfleck suit is the greatest comic book suit ever. Idk why but I love it so much
It is fantastic!
The batman suit just looks the best in my opinion, it just looks the least awkward and bulky
Ranking the iron man suit’s would be so sick, great video btw
Thanks for the support! Good idea that’s on the plan, think it will be a massive video though as he has so many suits thanks to Iron Man 3!
4:45... reminds me of Damian Wayne as the Batman after Bruce dies.
I mean I do like the Begins suit since it’s an improvement over Keaton’s as it does allow more movement. I do wish that the main suit was gray and the crouch was colored jet black to reference the trunks. The cowl and gloves should also be jet black to match the cape gauntlets and boots he wears.
I feel like the nolan trilogy suit should have been number one it is just so Iconic…..I think others would agree it should be near 1 if not 3
I really don’t think it’s that iconic, the Keaton suit is far more iconic in my opinion and being iconic is definitely worth points but it doesn’t get you to the top spot
I don’t like how small the mouth hole is honestly
The Dark Knight suit is the best, simply because it gives the vibe that the suit is real, functional and something Batman would wear if he really existed
I think The Batman suit does a better job at this
The Batman Begins Batsuit in black and grey is literally perfect. It’s so beautiful.
Yeah agreed, hopefully we see something like that in the future
the dark knight is so nostalgic ngl
The BVS Suit is my number one as well. What a great design. I can't wait to see if James Gunn will top this with his DCU Batman.😮
I hope Gunn goes for the white eyes!
yea batflecks suit is my fav too
Battles suit is like the Spider-Man that Sam Raimi made for the Spider-Man trilogy perfect.
Huh?
@@CINEMAZE Learn how to properly read, IowIife. 🖕🏼 You act like you're so intelligent in your videos but you can't read a simple sentence lmfao. Pathetic.
Adam West, Michael Keaton, and Christian Bale are my favorite Batman’s. Those are my absolute favorite movies… but the Ben Affleck and Robert Pattinson batsuits are seriously the coolest looking ones. My opinion of course
That’s totally fair
Yup. BvS suits is GOD tier. Sadly... that's probably the last time we see anything that close to comic books:(
Hopefully the James Gunn universe Batman has a more skin tight suit rather than armour and potentially grey-blue with white eyes!
My favourite is Batman 1989 it’s just pure classic and feels like Batman it’s intimidating It’s not too bulky like in the Nolan films and it doesn’t look as goofy and I do love the suit in returns and in the flash! I love Robert Patterson Batman suit that’s my second favourite and my third favourite would be Ben Affleck’s! My least favourite suit it’s unpopular opinion it has to be Christian Bale in the Nolan Batman trilogy.. it’s just not very creative it’s bland looking it’s goofy especially in Batman begins It’s just nothing about the suit makes it stand out.. the nose is weird and bulky goofy looking.. I know technically in Batman forever and Batman and Robin is worse suit versions but it’s hilariously bad I can make fun of it and enjoy it😅
Great video as always!
Glad we agree on the 3 best, just in a different order! I just favour the suits with more colour rather than just black. I agree the Bale suits are disappointing, they don’t feel as modern as they should. Thanks for watching as always
@@CINEMAZE am I the only one who thinks Ben Affleck Batman armored Batsuit in BVS Dawn of Justice is slightly underrated designed suit? I know it looks slightly goofy but I thought it was incredibly creative especially the light blue eyes!
Completely agree, that’s why it reached number 5 on my list!
am I the only one who js doesn’t like the Affleck suit?
There’s a few people in the comments who don’t like it but in general it seems to be a favourite
There are pics of Pattinson edited with white eyes and it looks amazing (as well as a more closed mouth piece for the cowl). Telltale did the white eyes, but they were electronic lenses, and I think that is a "real" way of pulling it off.
I hope the next batsuit we see has the white eyes!
If the batman begins suit was gray, and the jaw was altered, it'd be perfect
Yeah grey with a black logo and a better neck, I think it would look awesome. Thanks for watching
The ultimate batman suit for me would be Ben Affleck standard BvS suit but with the Michael Keaton belt, the Keaton Batman Returns cowl and logo.
But I'm OK with the Batman 89 suit but with the Batman Returns cowl and logo.
Although maybe not the best incarnation, I'll forever be partial to how I felt seeing the 1989 bat suit as compared to that campy set of pajamas from the 1960s comedy.
Such a good point! Although different from the comic book look, it really made the suit feel cinematic
The bvs suit is the best batman suit yet just like Affleck with that physique is the best batman yet. Bro even has the best fight of a Batman. He even looks the part while he's Bruce. Damn
100%
Without considering the nipples, the first Kilmer suit is very good in my opinion
It would be a much better suit without the nipples, although still quite derivative of Keaton but unfortunately it has the nipples which massively brings it down. They have no reason to be there and if you took my top picks and added nipples they would be much lower on the list
Am I the only one who wants a live action arkham knight suit probably my favorite in batman history
I prefer the less armoured batsuits but I could see Pattinson’s suit transition into something like the Arkham games as he becomes more experienced
15:43 intimidation? 😂 that is one chonky Batman right there
I think his massive size makes him more intimidating and a version of Batman who needs to be strong to control a suit to fight superman
@@CINEMAZE he looks fat in that picture
You have a weird perception of fat then
@@CINEMAZE all my friends agree with me
@@The_Trident_Master fair enough, lots of people in the comments agree with me but thats the fun of ranking. Whats your favourite suit?
Great video, my fav is still Arkham Knight suit tho
Awesome, totally understandable
Great list. I agree on your #1 pick as it looks like it was ripped straight out of the comics. I would _love_ if we could maybe one day get a live action suit like the Arkham Knight one. The 8.03 version
I can see Pattinson transitioning into a suit like that as he develops further into his career
1. Adam West suit. exactly what we saw in the comics. totally unapologetic.
2. Val Kilmer suit. basic, no nonsnese.
3. Pattinson suit.
The Nightmare suit is epic.
I agree with you abiut the number 1
I pretty much agree with this tier list aside from it lacking Bale Batman appreciation 😅
I’ve always thought that the Pattinson suit is reminiscent of the Noel bat suit
Kinda
8:36 looks like fortnite batman
The worst for me was the nipple showing one.
Agreed! Why did they do that?!
Absolutely agree !!!
Awesome, thanks for watching
I totally agree with everything you say here. You have the same view on these suits as I do. Ben Affleck truly had the best for me.
Awesome! Thanks for watching
The BvS one definitely looks great, although the ears are slightly too dirty.
That’s really cool and reasonable, but here’s my list:
(I won’t rank the nightmare suit, as it wasn’t really a real bat suit, kinda feels wrong to put it here)
16. Adam West suit
15. Clooney icing suit
14. Base Clooney Suit
13. Kilmer Sonar Suit
12. Affleck’s suit from the Flash
11. BvS mech suit
10. Tactical Batsuit
9. Panther Suit (if not the nipples, it would be higher)
8. Affleck JL Suit
7. Batman Returns Suit (great, but the torso design just doesn’t work for me)
6. Batman Begins Suit
5. BvS base suit
4. Pattinson’s Batsuit
3. Keaton’s suit from The Flash
2. Batman 89 Batsuit
1. The Dark Knight Suit
Great list
The post Burton suits get too much hate. They ain’t the best but the Clooney main suit is kinda good, not great or amazing but take those babies out and you got a nice and simple suit that’s a twist on the classic Batman look, going all dark blue. Way better imo than the Freeze and Battinson suit
Nah I disagree, I find it to be super generic, cheap looking and has no specific identity to that version of Batman
I respect your rankings and I agree with most of them, but I think that I should also consider the purpose for the suits. As for the Christian Bale dark knight, the cowl neck moves easier, the black helps for staying hidden in the dark, and it fits the more slim but menacing, agile, and better for martial arts. It’s just my opinion tho. I can tell how much I like that suite😂. Nice video tho! Imma sub for u man!
Edit:not only that but it has more of a pointing cutting look for the cowl instead of the round looking nose of the Robert Pattinson Batman. If they fixed the cowl on the Robert Pattinson Bat suit, it would be the top for me, and if they fixed the gliding suit.
I understand all that in theory but in practice the neck just looks weird and it really doesn’t seem that agile and good for martial arts, it still seems very restrictive. Glad you like it though and thanks so much for watching and subscribing !
Personal Top 5
1: BvS Affleck Suit
2. The Batman Pattinson Suit
3. Justice League Affleck Suit
4. Batman Begins Bale Suit
5. Dark Knight (Rises) Bale Suit
Great list thanks for sharing
You forgot the Bat-suits from Wilson's and Lowery's live-action movie serials in the 1940s.
This is just looking at the theatrical movies, it didn’t feel fair to compare million dollar theatrical films to lower budget serials, and ultimately those suits would be low down the list
Had to agree with number 1 as I really like the shorter bat ears
"Not gonna lie, he had us on the first half" more like quarter
Huh?
Battison is the perfect armoured suit, and Batfleck is the perfect cloth/tight suit.
Great way to put it
8:14 i think the really big and imposing neck does help it with intimidation
Also just watched batman begins on the flight back home, excellent movie and now i love batman
Awesome thanks for watching
Kind of wild how different my list is. The top 10 shuffles a bit but I'd put Kilmer's panther suit higher, and Flash Affleck and Keaton, and the Sonic and mr freeze suit like bottom 5. Horrible suits imo.
That’s fair, what’s your favourite?
eh i’d switch those last two. batman vs superman feels less like batman and more like some bodybuilder who wears a cowl. the batman movie just feels so real.
I get that, I just always prefer the thinner material batsuit look over the armour
I think at times, the goggles on the justice league one looked better than others. I definitely agree with Clooney and Kilmers being the lowest, but I'm not sure which one is my favorite
the batman suit is legend 🥹🤤🤤
My mindset: He's a billionaire and the point of dressing as a bat was to scare criminals with theatrics. For that reason, I'm not a fan of the hyper-tactical/armored looks where they aren't warranted. So here's my ranking from best to worst:
Top 10:
------------------------------------------------------------
HiTop Films Batman
Batman: Dying is Easy
The BvS Suit
The Justice League Tactical Suit
The Adam West Suit (It works for its series)
The Batman Returns Suit
The 1989 suit
The Nightmare Suit
The Val Kilmer Suit (I will forgive the nipples ONCE)
The Flash's Keaton Suit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Batman Begins suit
The Batman (1940s) Suit (Notes, Caveat: See the bottom)
The BvS Mech Suit
The Batman Suit
The Dark Knight Suit
The Flash's Batflek Suit
The Batman and Robin (1940s) Suit (see notes)
Batman Forever Sonar Suit
Batman & Robin suit
Batman & Robin Ice suit
Notes: For the 1940s suit, a lot of work needs to be done. If brought into the modern era, it would look fantastic. The Cowl and neck areas need some reinforcing so they're more rigid, and the fabrics should look like fancy kevlar. A $20 amazon purchase and some paint would make the belt 10,000x better. Finally, give it a longer cape. The Batman and Robin 1940s suit is included because it's the same suit remade, but all of its problems are worsened to the degree that the ears no longer share a zip code.
I'm very partial to the iconic Grey and Black/Blue Look. I would LOVE to see a batsuit that's more legends of the Dark Knight in aesthetic, maybe with some shoulder spikes like the 80s suit or the flashpoint suit had. The heavily armored suits are ok for one-off situations where he's fighting a really dangerous foe (like a Justice League-level threat), but in cases like The Dark Knight and The Batman it just kinda ruins the aesthetic and theatrics.
Super interesting comment and list, thanks for watching and commenting. IMO I prefer no armour to allow for a more stealthy/martial arts look but I prefer armour over the complete black suits which loses a lot of the design and would rather black and grey/blue armoured over no armour.
I think armour is fine if it suits the world, TDK and The Batman are very realistic settings and so Batman can be a bit more armoured but in worlds that are more fantastical (like the snyderverse) it makes sense to have much more flexible suits which are still very strong
