before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’ll
be looking at the various costumes that
Batman has worn over the years across
various mediums based on their impact
function and popularity
number 10 Thomas Waynes bat suit mention
my dead son again I will break out my
surgical incest it seems like every time
the flash travels through time he always
manages to screw pretty much everything
up granted in this particular case it
did give us some of the most interesting
alternate timelines and comics while
trying to prevent his mother’s murder
Barry Allen it Burton Lee changes the
future for the worst
including the fate of the Wayne family
instead of his parents Bruce Wayne is
the one who was killed in Crime Alley
leading to his father Thomas to become
Batman while artha Wayne was set down
the path of insanity becoming this
timelines version of the Joker
Thomas doesn’t share his sons hatred for
guns or rules against killing criminals
and this change is reflected in his
black and red suit number nine Adam
West’s bat suit
my utility belt yeah there it is the
gloriously cheesy and iconic outfit that
stood as the definitive Batman for years
fashion and function go pretty much
right out the window with this one but
for some reason it just kind of adds to
the charm
despite being far too tight the mask
often slipping off to an angle and
looking like it offers no form of
protection whatsoever there’s no denying
that the outfit M the kookie performance
that came with it have edged their way
into the Batman mythos some days you
just can’t get rid of a bomb number
eight batfleck bat suit
the verdict is in people and Batman V
Superman dawn of Justice probably wasn’t
the best portrayal of these two Titanic
titular leads for a variety of reasons
however fans are a near unanimous
agreement that Ben Affleck’s portrayal
of Batman was actually pretty good
killing sprees aside the sheriff
physique and presence of Batman was
menacing here combining Affleck’s bulky
frame with a costume heavily inspired by
the likes of Frank Miller’s The Dark
Knight Returns results in a modern
costume that has the potential to be
just as iconic as its predecessors we
may have given this spot to the power
armor he wore when he goes up against
Superman if we’d have seen it for more
than you know five minutes
[Applause]
number seven white lantern suit file it
also might have been brief this look
proves that Batman could easily pull off
a whole white knight look especially
when it comes to with a ring that amuse
him with godlike powers after being
saved by Hal Jordan from the grip of the
Black Lantern Corps
Batman along with the rest of the
Justice League harnessed the power of
life itself to defeat the death-dealing
Necron and the all-consuming
anti-monitor
while we generally prefer our Batman to
work from the shadows it goes to show
that if you were chosen to join a Corps
he could easily Rock a powering number 6
arkham knight Batsuit
just as the Arkham games have gotten
bigger and bolder over time so too has
Batman touched up his suit in order to
keep up with the influx of villains in
an epic battle for the fate of Gotham
against scarecrow and the mysterious
Arkham Knight Batman needed a suit
strong enough to take on a whole militia
not only does it come with all the
classics like detective vision and the
ability to glide it also gave us one of
the most badass mechanics in the whole
game
the fear multi takedown admit it you
couldn’t wait to use it at every chance
you got number five The Dark Knight bat
suit in a suit three buttons is a little
nineties mr. Wayne I’m talking to
fashion mr. Fox so much his function
Christopher Nolan gave us one of the
grittiest and most grounded versions of
Batman to date and with it reinvented
the classic bat suit that inspired the
darkness and fear that we love the
character for something that had been
sorely lacking up until then out of all
the suits he wore throughout the trilogy
our choice would always leave all to the
plated version worn by Bruce Wayne when
going up against his greatest foe Heath
Ledger’s Joker sea madness as you know
is like gravity it might be more
susceptible to gunfire in knives but for
many moviegoers this particular Batman
stands in a class above the rest
projected armed blades and all I’m
number four Batman Beyond you might as
well show yourself I heard you a mile
away in the not-too-distant future
Gotham still desperately needs its own
silent guardian enter the second Knight
trained by Bruce Wayne Terry McGinnis
donned a now much more futuristic
version of the bat suit with all kinds
of sci-fi bells whistles able to
instantly camouflage old batarangs
literally out of nowhere hack into
frequencies by mere touch and even fly
it might be lacking in the signature
cape but Batman Beyond sleek design was
a radical change in direction that
actually paid off told you you didn’t
know
number three the new Batman adventures
Batsuit I knew your massive ego would
never allow anyone else the honor of
killing me though I have to admit she
came a lot closer than you ever did
hood most fans would agree that with the
exception of a couple of standout
episodes the new Batman adventures was a
step down from the classic animated
series that being said
Batman’s redesign was near perfection
not to say that the original outfit
isn’t iconic but by replacing the yellow
bat symbol with a minimalistic black bat
and generally going with a much simpler
black and gray color palette The Dark
Knight here looked a lot more imposing
it was just too bad that the other
character redesigns namely the Joker’s
weren’t all that successful
number two Michael Keaton bat suit
following the hilarious exploits of Adam
West no one thought they would ever see
the dark brooding Batman from the comics
on the big screen that was until Tim
Burton and Michael Keaton came along
with an interpretation of the character
that still rings true to many as the
definitive on-screen Batman capturing
every essential idea of the Dark Knight
inside the costume
[Music]
yeah it might be a little on the rubbery
side and not nearly as high-tech or
functional as some of the later entries
but when it comes to striking terror
into the hearts of criminals
this was the live-action portrayal
that’s at the standard I’m Batman
number one Neal Adams Batsuit there
would be no batfleck suit no nolan suit
no Keaton suit without the revolutionary
redesign created by Neal Adams in the
early 1970s while Michael Keaton brought
the darkness of Batman to the silver
screen it was Adams that brought it back
to the character on the page after the
ultra campy 60s Batman seemed like it
would never go away Adams work with
writer Danny O’Neill reshaped both
Batman and a comic book medium for good
all in all we might not have the Batman
we know and love today if it weren’t for
this man’s work and classic design
