Ranking Batman’s Batsuits Across The Years

3) Michael Keaton’s Batsuit – Batman/Batman Returns (1989/92)

In attempt to dismiss the then prevailing idea that Batman was a campy character, Tim Burton’s movies redesigned the hero from the ground up – including removing the Caped Crusader’s classic blue and grey and putting him all in black. This is, of course, something that has gone on to become the norm.

Though the bulky latex suit severely limits Keaton’s movement, it somehow makes Batman look more formidable than usual. This version of the character looks the part just standing on a rooftop or in the shadows in a back alley. We don’t need to see him being particularly athletic to be impressed.
