Like Superman, Batman is a character who has had many live action iterations over the years, although it can't be denied that the costumes we've seen him in have all been vastly different. Regardless of whether it's the camp Adam West suit from 1960's, the gothic take from director Tim Burton, the somehow even more came 1990's Bat-nipples, or the realistic Christopher Nolan portrayals of the suit, we've seen a lot of variations over the years! So, here's what I wanted to know - which of these suits do you guys think was the best? Which was most effective in bringing the Dark Knight to the big screen? Well, a huge number of you voted, and here are the results in full...

Christian Bale (The Dark Knight)







STARRING:

Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Michael Caine as Alfred
Gary Oldman as Commissioner Jim Gordon
Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox
Tom Hardy as Bane
Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle/Catwoman
Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Tom Blake
Marion Cotillard as Miranda Tate
Josh Pence as Ra's Al Ghul

keatons the real winner,bale only won because nolanites vote for the movie they like best & not the costume.

Oh god, Keaton suit on Batman and Batman Returns were the best. Bale on Begins was good, but TDK suit was horrible.

In retrospect, Adam West would of been the winner here; seeing how he is the best representation of Batman in the 1960s.

From costume to mannerism, West really did nail Batman's character in the comics during the Silver Age.
. . . Something tells me this very comment will be automatically hated for making such statement.

Other than the cowl shots in the film Keaton looked incredibly short, stumpy, and downright ridiculous in the suits.





Not to mention cheap looking

@Wolverinesfury: I agree. that video was pretty cool.

@ShredNadin Totally agree. That suit is badass I'd take it over TDK suit any day.

I honestly never really liked TDK or BB suits. BB looks crappy and uncomfortable and TDK's armor is too complex with all the lines in the armor and the small, almost unnoticeable Bat symbol. Gimme a suit like Arkham Asylum or the DC New 52 and I'll be happy.

I liked the Batman Begins suit... but TDK was ok a bit too something though... all the rest were kinda silly cause they had that yellow thing IMO... lol

Yes! I agree Bales TDK custome is awesome & I agree Begins is also but I love the TDK custome. I love Keatons boots were actually Nike's in Batman & Air Jordan's in Baturns but again it was cool.

Bale wore cool & actual boots I love his costumes!

@Prot3ctor I agree with U about the grey costume I would love to see that as a surprise suit in TDKR & in the future!

Shame on how many people hate on Nolan, Nolan is genuious & one of the best people to ever work on Batman.

Christian Bale-The Batman/Bruce Wayne & Henry Cavill-Superman/Clark Kent are Cool as The World's finest!

I totally agree with you too. I would have actually voted if that suit was an option.

Arkham Asylum suit = winner in my books
