The Batsuit (or Bat-Suit ) is a costume from Batman's super fiction hero, which appears in comic books published by DC Comics America. The lawsuit has been described in various ways, and the stories themselves describe Batman as modifying the details of his costume from time to time. However, it usually consisted of a gray body suit, a chest decorated with a stylish black bat, and a black-and-black accessory: a wide-toothed robe, a glove with a series of fins, boots and cowl projections (covering the top of his face) with ear-like projection to suggest head of bats; and a utility belt that contains various gadgets.
Batman costumes are used to conceal identities and scare off criminals. Most Batsuit versions combine several forms of body armor, powerful exoskeleton framework, "wingsuit", built-in augmented reality computer, night-vision, gas filters, and other aids for protection or effectiveness in combat.

Origin and development
Origin
While contemplating in his study of how to become a more effective crime fighter, Bruce Wayne noticed a bat coming through his window. Reflecting that "criminals are superstitious, cowardly people," Bruce adopted a bat persona to conceal his identity and attack the fear of becoming his enemies. In later elaborations of his origins, Bruce was frightened by bats as a child, and in the Silver Age story of The First Batman (later retold in the 1980s miniseries Uncovered Batman's Legend >) the inspiration for the batsuit came partly from the bat costume worn to the ball of the costume by his father Dr. Thomas Wayne, MD
Color scheme
Batmaids, cowls, gloves, shorts and Batman boots are usually black or dark blue with gray costume body parts. Originally the suit was understood as black and gray, but due to the coloring scheme of the early comic book, the black was highlighted in blue. Therefore, for years the robes and blacks appeared as dark blue in comic books. Thus rendition artists describe the costumes as black and gray or blue and gray.
The bat symbol on the chest also switched from a simple black bat, to the design of a bat on a yellow ellipse, borrowing a logo-like appearance much like the Superman S "-in-shield" logo. The yellow ellipse was introduced in 1964 as part of Batman's "New View" story. In Batman: The Dark Knight Returns , the yellow ellipse design is described as a deliberate target, to attack the enemy from his head and body without weapons. The next issue of Shadow of the Bat re-establishes the concept. The yellow ellipse was finally removed in 2000 after a 36-year spell and was replaced by a large black bat emblem, which resembled a comic of the golden age.
Other elements, such as utility belts and long cowl ears, have been transformed by various artistic teams.
Basic settings
Bob Kane's original sketch of the character is very different from the Batman we know today. Kane shows the first image of the character he first named Bat, then Bat-Man, to Bill Finger who was a writer hired to write the first Batman story. Bill thinks that the character looks too much like Superman, so he suggests big changes that will prove to be eternal for the character's inheritance.
The finger takes Webster's Dictionary from the shelf, searches for a bat image, and finds one. He then said to Kane, "Watch her ear, why do not we duplicate the ear?" She then suggests that Kane will draw what looks like a cowl, to bring the nosepiece down and make her look mysterious and not show any eyeballs at all. Fingers do not like wings like birds, so he also suggests for Kane to redesign them and make a robe instead, and a scallop edge so it will flow out behind Batman as he runs so it will look like bat wings as well as add a bat symbol on the chest of the character as a symbol of his chest. He also suggested that the color of his bodysuit should be gray instead of red and a pair of gloves were added, purple from the beginning but then turned blue.
Similar to many other superhero costumes, the basic base of Batsuit is a tight bodysuit. In the early depictions, contrasting shorts were worn over a one piece suit, similar to the outfits of early twentieth-century circus performers and strong men. Batman # 1 (June 1940) revealed that there was a bulletproof vest stitched to the costume. Batman's modern clothing depiction does not include contrasting shorts, and the character suit consists of pants without discoloration. Batsuit is also no longer described as a one-piece suit, because the tops and pants are separate parts.
The post-Crisis version of bodysuit was not built of simple fabrics, but from a sophisticated fictitious material that gave it the resilience to tear. In addition, the suit also contains various defense mechanisms and layers of protection into the suit. The basic version of Batsuit is insulated against electricity and a bit fireproof. Batman uses many different body protective designs, some of which are constructed into Batsuit, and others are separated. In the most basic version, the suit is flaky around the upper and back body. Other versions are completely bulletproof for small arms fire, and have advanced flexible armor coatings. In the video game, Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman uses the basic batsuit along the game, but can open a new "Armored" capsuit after completing the main storyline. The armor is much larger and has heavy plate armor on the body and limbs and armor segmented on the joints and neck.
Cape
When different artists have taken over responsibility for drawing costumes, the details of the suit have changed a great deal. The original incarnation of the cloak was a winglike structure that might have been inspired by the image by Leonardo da Vinci. This eventually evolved into a design that was more like a headland with varying lengths with jagged edges to resemble the wings of bats.
The material of the cloak varies with different authors, sometimes described as bulletproof and fireproof, and other times made of simple fabric that is easily torn and constantly replaced. For example, in the Batman: The Animated Series episode of Robin's Reckoning, Batman fell through a floor heavily interrupted by machine-gun fire and landed badly, hurting his leg. He tore off his robes and used some broken pieces of wood to make an impromptu axle splint. He is also commonly seen with robes that can wrap around his body, usually whenever he stands or sometimes when walking.
The hood can also incorporate Nomex refractory/resistant material (as shown in the film Batman Forever and novelization of Knightfall by Denny O'Neil) and Kevlar weave to slow the impact of bullets. In The Dark Knight Strikes Again , the cloak has a sharp knife that Batman uses to cut off some corrupt government officials.
The use of the robe as a different mode of transport for many years. The hang-glider version of this concept is presented at Batman Returns, where the armor folds out of the headland to make it a rigid-like structure, then folds backward as the user rolls forward on the ground after landing. In the Justice League Batman was released from Batplane with his cloak acting as a parachute using a suit of armor. In the 2005 film Batman Begins , the robe was also used as a kind of wingsuit; when an electric current is applied to the cape, the memory-form fibers (similar to polymer memory) are aligned into semi-rigid shapes that resemble the bat's wings, allowing Batman to glide over Gotham's streets and roofs. After Dick Grayson took over Batman's identity, he and Damian Wayne, the biological sons of Robin and the new Bruce Wayne, developed a "para-cape" for their costumes that gave them the ability to slide. However, at first, Grayson discovered that the new cloak had too much weight. The Batman Arkham series also gives Batman the same gliding capability as in Batman Begins .
In the comic book mini-2010 Batman Beyond , Dick Grayson explains that there is also a tactical reason to add a cloak to the costume: misdirection. It "hides the body, making it difficult to know where to strike" when Batman moves, with the result that criminals attacking him at a distance can not determine whether they shoot Batman's body or just a cape. A flashback reveals that after a round of steel shield from the Joker pistol penetrated the cloak, it saved Bruce but Dick, who was behind him, was mortally wounded. This explains why Bruce removed the cloak in Batman's Batman Beyond Batsuit incarnation, because he prefers to be the person who is shot from the other.
Cowl
The cowl mainly hides the Batman feature and contributes to its impressive performances. In comic book depiction, eyeballs are not visible through cowl. This was suggested by co-creator Bill Finger during character creation to give him a more mysterious look. On the contrary, the eyes are white with no visible eyeballs. The white eye motif behind this mask has been replicated in almost every super masked hero after Batman's debut in 1939.
There may be something added to the cowl that changes the way people see Batman when viewing it directly. Cowl Batman sometimes serves other purposes. Sometimes, cowl is described as having a defense mechanism such as electric shock or stun gas to prevent unauthorized removal (as shown in The Dark Knight, Batman: Hush, Superman/Batman, and Justice League of America # 24 >). In Batman Begins, Bruce Wayne's letter commands material for building cowl through the labyrinth of shell companies that can not be traced. To avoid suspicion, Wayne ordered an enormous amount of 10,000, each part shipped to a different location, and under a different alias. However, since some metahuman criminals have the power to see through solid objects, Batman also coats the cowl with lead to protect its identity. The property does not exist in The Crossman's "World's Finest", in which Superman sees through the Batman cowl with ease.
Cowl Batman has also been described with a shifted optical lens that identifies the identity of the suspect, as well as their weak spot (via medical record), while avoiding the possibility of eye identification. The cowl lens incorporates several vision modes such as infrared (heat sensor), night vision, and ultraviolet vision, and a digital camera for proof. Also, on The Dark Knight Batman uses the sonar concept (via Cellphone) which was introduced by Lucius Fox. This technology is used by using echolocation to perform object triangulation via mobile phones. In Detective Comics # 838 (January 2008), it was revealed that Batman also has an echolocation system in cowl. In Batman: The Animated Series Batman wearing a special motorcycle helmet while riding a Batcycle printed with ear bats to accommodate his cowl ear. In Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman extensively uses sophisticated "detective mode" visions built into a cowl that allows him to see enemies in darkness, including through walls, viewing conditions and circumstances of their awareness, and detecting and identify hidden objects and analyze evidence. It also gives him white eyes when activated.
One cowl ear carries a high gain antenna for an internal communications device on the left side of the cowl, allowing Batman to keep in touch with its allies. This communication device can scan police radio and other communication frequency. It also brings inertial navigation units to keep it balanced when facing enemies like Scarecrow or Count Vertigo. The Kevlar cowl panel provides a level of protection for its head against firearms. The front of the skull and the side of the temple also have small armor inserts to improve the effectiveness of the skull strike and protect it from violent collisions. Repeated encounters with Mad Hatter also forced Batman to protect his cowl against the control of the minds of criminals. The basic design remains unchanged; However, it has been updated frequently for Batman's needs.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold shows that the cowl ear is capable of changing lengths for various uses. However, artist Karl Kerchl has drawn a dome of Batman's costume which shows that he has a large selection of cowls with ears. with different lengths. Nevertheless, Dick Grayson's handkerchief allegedly has the same features as Bruce Wayne, although Grayson often finds that wearing it interferes with peripheral vision (though this may be an experience with cowl, since Grayson is more used to domino masks).
In Batman: Cacophony during the Batman hunt with serial killer Onomatopoeia masked, he strengthened one of his friends with a secondary armor under his kevlarnya cap with a bloodpack layer in anticipation shot in the skull, to create an opportunity to fake his own death to get himself closer to criminals. This is based on the Deadshot killer helmet design.
Gloves
Batman is often depicted wearing dark-colored gloves that extend to cover most of his forearms. In Batman's earliest story of Detective Comics, the costume features some curiosity before it evolves into more or less standard styles. The first gloves are purple, look mediocre, and have no sort of toothed fins or other stylings, and only up to the wrist. The second Batman adventure describes a character who does not wear gloves at all. Some problems then gloves became longer, and by 1940 the familiar fins were added. In the original story, these fins initially resembled miniature, toothed bat wings, but eventually became three simple triangular fins.
In some later incarnations, shells attached to separate racers are worn under the gloves around the wrist. In Batman Begins this swelling is part of Wayne's costume during the League of Shadows training, painted black - this set is hard enough to cut Ra's al Ghul's sword into many parts. The shells usually serve defensive purposes and are used to defend against bladed weapons, such as swords or knives. Gloves are sometimes described as being able to launch shells as projectiles, especially in the Dark Knight Trilogy, which also reveals electric shocks at the fingertips of gloves, which are used to control the structure of the winguit cape style.
In addition, Batman hid several pieces of his weapon in his gloves, such as pick and miniature batarang keys. The knuckles of each sheath have been described as containing a small amount of tin shot to increase the power of the blow. The same knuckle strengthening can be seen in the video game Batman: Arkham Asylum, where Batman actually sprayed his knuckles with exploding gels to drastically increase the power of the blow (tearing up the gloves and almost broke his arm in the process). In the 2004 Batman series, Batman's gloves have sharp claws embedded in the fingertips.
Boot
In Batman: First Year, it is described that Batman hides some of his arsenal in his boots, like a blowgun (the length makes it impossible to fit in Batman's belt compartment) with the quick acting of an anesthetic arrow and an ultrasonic instrument built on the heel left. The basic design of these shoes is modeled on tactical boots, but is made of lightweight rubber and is much more flexible to allow for full extension while kicking. The bottom is a single, flexible and textured split design for various surfaces. The boots also have steel fingers, making them much more effective when attacking. Although Batman had become an elite swimmer, during the Batman: Hush storyline, it was revealed that he was installing underwater propellers on the heels. In Batman Begins, the boot heel is lowered with an ultrasonic signaling device capable of calling a live bat for it as a form of protection and protection for Batman during the holidays. The device was originally introduced in the Batman series: Year One .
Armor
Batsuit has been repeatedly updated to reflect technological advances. At first the costume did not have a protective armor. It was a simple spandex jumpsuit. However, the emergence of the real world from various forms of personal protective material such as Kevlar and the awareness that being shot while wearing such protection should still be avoided, has caused a re-imagined costume with various forms of bulletproof protection using such use. from a chest coat symbol as a targeted target to lure a shot at the strongest point of armor. Despite armor, Batman almost always avoids shots and is rarely actually shot. In the 1989 film "Batman", the chest plates were designed to look like the torn upper body and one of the Joker men shot Batman almost empty in the chest. In the film, many people shoot Batman in the chest. He falls and "plays dead," then jumps and catches them unattended. Although the suit often includes a neck brace and other preventative deterrents, after recovering from a spinal cord injury due to Bane's attack, Batman reinforces the armor with a spinal support and material to dampen shock and collision to protect it from the attack. The Batsuit also has a magnetic signature harness, allowing Batman to pull his body into giant metal objects such as airplanes.
During the Ra's Awakening of Ghul, Batman obtained the ancient armor of Talia al Ghul, The Suit of Sorrows. According to legend, he can give the strength and speed of the wearer, but will also completely destroy anyone whose heart and soul are impure. At first, Dark Knight doubted the legend, but ended up experiencing aggressive behavior while wearing armor during a patrol. Batman later learned from the members of The Order Of The Pure, a splinter faction of The Order Of St. Dumas, that the armor used to belong to a knight named Geoffrey de Cantonna, who massacred hundreds of people in a mountain valley in 1190. Suit of Sorrows became wrong a trophy display in the Batcave, to remind Dark Knight that he must always be vigilant not only in his crusade against evil, but also himself. Azrael just wore the suit eventually.
In all the eight single-shots from Bruce Wayne: The Road Home, which sets after Batman's event: The Return of Bruce Wayne, shows that Batman, acting as "The Insider", has developing an exosuit mimicking Amazo's ability to mimic the power of metahuman, including Superman's supernatural vision, superspeed labeled with SF as in The Flash's Speed ​​Force, Martian Invisible Manhunter, emit Green Lantern ring energy, Wonder Woman's Lasso Truth lasso mirroring, and super powers. There is a design flaw in this setting: it uses too much power to make it work. Thus, Batman should only use it for a limited time. Lucius Fox also supplies Bruce Wayne and his son Damian a pair of experimental jetsuit prototypes. They can provide enhanced artificial strength and endurance as well as close-range fly capability. The prototype was considered too risky and expensive for operational military use, allowing Waynes to use it for the Batman Inc. family project. .
Utility belts and other tools
Batman's utility belt is the most distinctive prop, like the Lasso of Truth of the Wonder Woman, or the Green Lantern ring. The exact content of this belt is unknown because Batman usually changes it to suit his needs. The extraordinary ability to bring the right tools is legendary. The enemies of Batman are primarily interested in the utility belt because they believe it will give them an advantage over it, but the belt compartment is locked and only Batman knows how to open it. There are several instances where security has been skipped: in the episode Justice League Justice League Lex Luthor managed to open the belt by subjecting him to an intense electric shock and in an episode The Batman > "Cat and the Bat" Catwoman steals Batman's utility belt and manages to unlock the capsule. The utility belt is described as having a defense mechanism such as electric shock, lock, paint marker, or stun gas to prevent damage. The belt is almost always yellow in color, and the belt display is usually depicted as having a cylinder like a capsule or a military-style pouch to hold the equipment. After DC Rebirth in 2016, Batman's utility belt is described as black and flat yellow belt, fragmented.
The array of devices Batman brings is more complex over time. Simple coiled ropes and batarang scale equipment into grapple-powered rocket (or pressure-powered) rockets. The suit was also performed on different occasions, respiratory devices, flash and gas grenades, explosives and detonators, lock levers, signal devices for Batmobile, electronic surveillance equipment (including video cameras and monitors), forensic tools to gather crime. proof scene, medical equipment, small appliances, tracking devices, money reserves and, in the initial incarnation, a gun in a holster. On every occasion in which Batman anticipates Superman, he also brings (in the main case) a Kryptonite ring given to him by Man of Steel as the last weapon (in some cases, Batman has acquired - or produced - kryptonite himself, like graphic novel Frank Miller The Dark Knight ). One exception to this is seen in Kingdom Come , because in the novel, Superman has become immune to kryptonite. In The Dark Knight Rises, at least one of the "pockets" has been replaced with a device previously seen used by Bruce Wayne to avoid the attention of the paparazzi that closes nearby electrical equipment.

Variants in publications
Batman keeps a variety of costumes to deal with extraordinary situations; for example, he has been shown in the SCUBA variant of his costume, a fireproof version to fight his enemy, Firefly, a thermally insulated version against Mr. Freeze, and others. Many versions of the hero, including those featured in Batman: The Dark Knight Returns , Kingdom Come , Batman Beyond and Batman versus Predator , show him to swap his costume with a powerful armor, either to overcome a very strong enemy physically or to compensate for his aging body (In Batman's series against Predator, Batman adopts a suit of armor to overcome an injury the serious physical caused by the Predator in the first volume, and the third sees it using a new armor designed to minimize its external body temperature to hide it from the Predator's infrared vision, although in the second volume he only uses the scrambler gauntlet to interfere with the Predator cloaking device when he prefers the usual stealth method over powerful but complicated armor).
Jean-Paul's valley
In the Knightfall story (1993-1994), the character of Jean-Paul Valley redesigned Batsuit during his tenure as Batman. Instead of appearing as a new costume, Jean-Paul developed it from time to time. The valley creates armor that contains more gadgets, including shuriken launchers, flamethrowers and other more deadly weapons. This dress version does not match the traditional robe and head cover. It features steel-coated and bladed wings and is extremely bulletproof, capable of maintaining a direct machine gun barrage as well as an explosion-proof grenade and high intensity fire. The suit also featured an underwater rebreather. A circular ammunition feeder is affixed to the back of a suit provided by the Valley with a continuous bat-shaped shuriken. It was made to be more high-tech, with eyes appearing more as glasses, different color schemes, and more armor. After being caught in an explosion during his fight with former Batman at the time, Bruce Wayne, the main color scheme turns orange-yellow. While the suit has enormous power, it also slows down the speed of its users and limits movement capacity.
In the end, the lawsuit becomes Valley's vulnerable spot, when Bruce realizes that his successor has become too dependent on the gadget's suit. In their last confrontation, Bruce, in his traditional bat costume, deceived the Valley to throw his armor by taking him to a narrow tunnel that forced the Valley to remove most of the armor to follow Bruce. After seeing Bruce unfold in his Batsuit in the dazzling sunlight after being forced to release his helmet - the last part of the Armor's saved armor - the fragile Valley mind collapsed, and he recognized Bruce as the real Batman.
The gloves of this costume are now used by Kate Spencer, the current Manhunter, who got it from the LAPD evidence room. They have been used by petty criminals who have failed to rob the security of a Gotham lawyer who holds information about all of his superstar looting.
Dick Grayson
In Batman: Prodigal after Bruce retires as Batman after his recovery from his attack from Bane and the defeat of Jean-Paul Valley, Dick takes over the role of Batman and uses a precise duplicate of Bruce's Batsuit
Denied art concept by Tony Daniel showing off clothes that are visually similar to the Dick Grayson Earth-Two costume. Another concept sketch by Frank Quitely describes a layered design that is very similar to Batsuit worn by Bruce Wayne in the movie The Dark Knight.
Troika
Although there is no difference in terms of gadgets, Batmanit used Batman, first in the story line Troika , looks darker than its luggage costumes. The costumes are also stronger than regular costumes, as they are made of Kevlar for additional protection. Batman designed it with his meeting with Bane in mind. Gloves and boots for Batsuit are also one piece, seamlessly connected to the arms and legs. With Robin # 14, Batman replaces genuine gloves and boots for a more protective quality, citing his encounter with the Russian Troika. Then at No Man's Land , Batman replaces the utility belt, which uses a capsule, for a utility belt with standard military style pockets. Batman, Inc. Batman, Inc. Batman, Inc. Batman Inc
After Bruce Wayne returned from his journey all the time, he designed another Batsuit that differentiated from Dick Grayson (concept image by artist David Finch) and added further improvements. This is primarily similar to Troika's outfits, but unlike Batsuit, this suit includes a complete set of electronics, including heating and cooling systems, secure broadband communications, and capable of emitting electromagnetic pulses, interfering with surrounding electronic devices (such as security cameras on the roof). For combat efficiency, Batman adds projectiles on gloves to immobilize opponents, and removable knives on boots soles.
The shield is no longer just a symbol of a bat decorated in the chest area. It can be used as a wide-beam flashlight and an intimidating opponent, therefore it can be "turned black or gray so it can camouflage itself when necessary."
The New 52
In September 2011, The New 52 rebooted DC continuity. In this new timeline, Batman uses another version of Batsuit designed by artist Jim Lee. This batsuit is made from hardened plates on tri-weave fibers that are dyed titanium and broken into pieces of armor over a more flexible bodysuit for greater mobility. The gloves are made of solid but flexible leather with ribs on the palm side, lifting pipes, and convex metal knuckles on the upper side. The mesh detail appears just below the palm of the hand and in three hidden louvers-like shapes located on both sides. The blades on the side of Batman's gloves can be pulled and capable of firing the outside projectiles. The utility belt is a form of a convex metal ampoule, and its buckle is made of tilted metal platelets. The back of the belt has an elaborate and removable detention tool for use as a tool. Batman also adapted the para-cape aerodynamically support himself to glide.
Justice Buster
When Joker uses variations on Joker's toxicity to change the League of Justice against Batman, Batman fights against them using a suit of armor described (by Joker as Superman) as a "Justice Buster" suit, made especially for Batman to wage war against the most powerful creatures on the planet this. It's allegedly more costly to create a lawsuit of sixty percent of the countries in the world put into their respective military, with a substantial portion of that budget going towards providing the processing power suit necessary for it to exceed Flash and anticipate where he will run away. that it could cripple him. Batman notes that even all processing power is based on the assumption that Flash will not move at its optimum speed when attacking it. This arsenal includes artifacts called "Binding of Veils", which is an upside-down version of the Lasso of Truth that takes Batman two years to acquire on the supernatural black market; contact with the Wonder Woman trap in a dream causes him to think he has killed Batman. The arsenal also includes a magnesium carbonate-powered sponge gun to trap and drain Aquaman from all the moisture, an electromagnetic nerve tree to stop the Cyborg, a neurotoxin citrine for Green Lantern, a plasma shield to bend the hot vision, the dwarf red sun in the glove to weaken Superman, and a small pellet of Kryptonite candy if Superman gets past that suit. Despite the amount of time he uses to create the suit, Batman admits that it can never stop Superman if he really tries to kill the Dark Knight, just winning the battle with the Superman Joker as through the use of Kryptonite gums.
James Gordon
When James Gordon was 'promoted' to become Batman sponsored by GCPD after his genuine disappearance, he wore two variations of Batsuit, designed by Powers Corporation. While on the field, he usually wore high-tech armor including shoulder-mounted weapons, large handguns, various electromagnetic generators, full-spectrum visual abilities, and great bat wings to act as a bomb shield and improve flight mode - although this is commonly used when falling from the GCPD 'Bat-Blimp' rather than a full solo flight - consists of nano-carbon that can even change color if the user wants. While inside the building, he wore a simple black all-round bodysuit with a yellow bat line on his chest carrying a gun in the basic utility belt, lacking the usual cloak, even though the suit had a personal cloaking device that could turn Gordon completely invisible and made of material which can withstand incinerator temperatures long enough so that Gordon can get out (though it must be fixed after a fire). When Gordon acted alone, the Batsuit robot could run an 'auto agile program' that would allow Gordon's home base to set targets and allow lawsuits to calculate how to achieve those targets, using the basic contextual material to act on his own accord. The lawsuit proved strong as a combat asset, and Powers Corp had plans to create a series of suits to be applied across the country, but after the original serious damage in combat with the new villain. Bloom, who began taking over all other clothes via remote control shortly before the original Batman returned, Gordon retreated and returned to his role as Commissioner as Powers Corp. left Batman's program for losing public confidence, feeling that only the real Dark Knight could become Batman.
DC Rebirth
At the launch of DC Comics 2016, DC Rebirth, Batman's latest outfit resembles his New 52 suit. It is mostly gray and black with a purple lined robe, like most other suits. Gloves and steel-coated boots, and a black utility belt with yellow lining. Bat symbols are still black but now outlined gold or yellow, depending on the colorist.
Elseworlds
In The Dark Knight Returns , originally Batman in action using standard Batsuit, he wore a powerful armor against Superman. The features of this suit include an ultrasonic gun - along with a sonic damper to prevent Batman from being destroyed by the same weapon - and the ability to connect directly to the Gotham power grid by connecting the setting to the lights in Crime Alley. When plugged into the power grid, the jacket is powerful enough to make damage to Superman in battle, but it requires Batman to confront Superman at night after he is struck with various other weapons, such as missiles from Batmobile and arrows from synthetic kryptonite. Three years later ( The Dark Knight Strikes Again ), Batman has returned to his original suit with a completely black robe and cowl, the edge of the robe so sharp that he can use it to carve an 'Z' into face of Lex Luthor. During the initial rematch with Superman, after Man of Steel was exhausted by various other attacks, Batman defeated Superman into submission with a pair of Krypton gloves.
In Batman: In the Darkest Knight, where Bruce Wayne was chosen as Green Lantern instead of Hal Jordan, he mostly wore a standard Green Lantern uniform, but his clothes included a robe and a blindfold similar to what he would do. wear as Batman, although it does not have "bat ears" from traditional cowl.
In Batman: Holy Terror , Bruce Wayne's costumes are specifically expressed as originally worn by his father when he describes a demon in a drama. The general appearance is still the same as the familiar Batman outfit, but his belt is almost triangular, the 'ear' on the cover is wider without a simple single point, and the bat symbol on the chest is more triangular, with white patches at the top leading to a precise thin white line above the throat under the chin, perhaps a reference to Bruce Wayne's civilian role as a priest.
In Robin 3000 , Batman at this time period wears clothes that are similar to standard batsuit; the only obvious difference is the artificial left eye, similar in design to the replacement of cybernetic familiar Deadshot.
In Batman/Houdini: The Devil's Workshop, most of Batman's clothes are hidden under a long thick coat, the exact costumes are not fully visible in the darkness of the night, though his cowl is a familiar style apart from mainly 'ears' thinner than usual.
In Batman: Gotham by Gaslight and its sequel, Batman's outfits are presented with buccaneer-style gloves and boots and long-floor robes with reverse collars, along with simple fabrics. The utility belt is shown with two short daggers and various pockets with unidentified contents.
In Batman: Castle of the Bat, featuring Bruce Wayne as a Frankenstein-esque physician while Bat-Man was his reanimation father, Bat-Man's initial outfit was meant to help in his changed father's consciousness. from his new senses and covering some of the scarring needed, a familiar cowl accompanied by a short robe around the shoulder and upper arm. As Bat-Man evolved, he threw a cowl and his head became like a bat.
In Kingdom Come and the sequel The Kingdom , Bruce regularly wears a neck brace because of his long career as Batman puts his body under serious pressure, and wears an exoskeleton when in action as Batman.
In the Vampire Batman trilogy, Batman uses the familiar Batsuit even after he becomes a vampire, although he uses silver batarang in the first novel in the trilogy in his last confrontation with Dracula and uses a cross-shaped dagger, made of wood with silver in the interior, in the second novel, these weapons are specifically designed to help him kill other vampires. After surrendering to the side of the vampire and a few months of rotting in the coffin, Batman sometimes turns into a gigantic bat form bent when flying and hunts his enemies, but he retains regular clothing in human form, though with his now rotting body his ribs are clearly visible and his arms appear to be reduced to bone rather than skin and muscle.
At Elseworld's Finest - recounting the origins of Superman and Batman in the narrative style of mushroom fiction - Bruce Wayne is a former playboy turned into a poor archeologist. During a confrontation with the men of Ra's al-Ghul in search for the lost city of Argos, Wayne was mortally wounded by a poisoned sword, but was confronted by the spirit of the ancient Kha witch. which offers Bruce life and himself redemption if Bruce will take his coat. Armor Kha consists of a black bodysuit with gold gloves and boots, as well as a golden necklace with a bat style and a golden helmet that resembles a crooked bat.
In the League of Justice , depicting DC heroes in the fairy tale world, 'Bat-Mancer' is in action wearing armor under the head and wings of a gigantic bat.
At Elseworld's Best: Supergirl & amp; Batgirl , where Barbara Gordon is Batgirl after her father was killed save Waynes and Bruce is essentially Alfred rather than Batman, he initially wore the standard Batgirl costume of the comic. At the time of the storyline, she has adopted a darker costume, including a metal glove on her forearm and wrist, shoulders, and ankle outer, with a main suit consisting of a nanit that extends out of the belt to cover her body.
In Batman: Dark Knight Dynasty, Bruce Wayne's distant ancestor Joshua of Wainwright originally acted as a member of the Templars, but when confronted with an attack on the Vandal Savage gang after members of his group were killed by Savage's arms, he wore armor his old family, which includes crest-like bats and helmets in the usual Bat-cowl style, including small dots and visors that protect his eyes, even though his gear is made up of only swords. and short iron blades. On this day, after Savage kills his parents on his wedding night, Bruce adopts a familiar Batman costume to hunt down his killer, then adapts it into a space suit with his own air supply and the cover now becomes the real helmet when he confronts Vandal on the spacecraft. In the twenty-fifth century, Brenna Wayne designed three bat-themed costumes to trace the source of the conspiracy to her family, with two high-tech black-and-orange outfits with sophisticated weaponry like flamethrowers on the headland/wing, and the third a simple black suit with gold ornaments.
In Superman & amp; Batman: Generations, depicts Superman and Batman 'aging' in real-time from their debut in 1939 onwards, Bruce Wayne is shown wearing a standard Batsuit every era, including wearing Robin's clothes in a story made in 1929 and wearing a fox mask with an orange robe and a purple shirt during an adventure when he was a child in 1919.

universe of DC animation
Batman wears various Batsuits around the world of DC animation (DCAU):
- Batman: The Animated Series
Batsuit in Batman: The Animated Series (1992-1995) features a chest emblem and a utility belt similar to the "New Display" version, and the design itself typically resembles a yellow elliptical bat symbol used in comics from the early 1970s to the late 1990s (as well as most of Batman's merchandise to this day and on theater theater posters of 1989), but the cloak and lid clearly display the original color scheme of Bob Kane with the blue spotlight. Sometimes, robes and blindfolds appear to be woven into one piece, and when he does not fight the robe is usually seen covering the entire body of Batman under his head (similar to how he is sometimes drawn in comics). The utility belt uses a yellow capsule or cylinder (similar to the utility belt pulled in the comic). The costume does not have a quality armor and is just a gray bodysuit with no obvious special features that often become torn in serious fights. Sometimes it looks packaged in Bruce Wayne's suitcase or in his vehicle, and it is clear that he has many parts. It also shows that he hides the picks and knife keys in his gloves in preparation when his wrists are tied with handcuffs or ropes. The exact appearance of the outfit was not always consistent in the series, such as the design of the chest emblem or the length of the cloak. This design was reused in feature films Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) and Batman & amp; Mr. Freeze: SubZero (1998).
- New Batman's Adventure
Batman's physical appearance was changed in The New Batman Adventures (1997-1999) with the second main color of the darker Batsuit as a whole and the utility belt here uses a very pale pale brown bag. The glove has also extended the shell and the emblem of his chest is transformed into a complete bat without a yellow ellipse. There are fewer highlights on the cloak and headgear which is now dark gray and the cape itself is redesigned to always reach over his shoulders, even when it does not cover his entire body under his head and the tights are also turned into dark gray. Bruce Wayne's Batsuit resembles the batsuit used in Batman: Year One . This design is reused in crossovers with Superman: The Animated Series and Static Shock, as well as feature movies Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman (2003) ) and the flashback sequence at Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000).
- Justice League and Unlimited Justice League
Batman was redesigned back in the Justice League (2001-2004) with its third major Batsuit as a mixture of appearances from the previous two designs; the costume itself is basically the same as The New Batman Adventures , but has the original color scheme of Batman: The Animated Series . In addition, the artists added certain modifications to denote the futuristic costumes of Batman Beyond such as the "ear" extension in the cowl from and the addition of heels to the boots. This design was reused in the episode of A League of Their Own, as well as its follow-up, Justice League Unlimited (2004- 2006).
- Batman Beyond
A very different variant of Batsuit is a feature in Batman Beyond (1999-2001) which is not far away with traditional individual clothing items and appears to be a simple black bodysuit with red chest and cowl emblems also covering the entire face. However, this version is a fitting "powered suit" form similar to an artificial exoskeleton. This fourth big batsuit was originally designed by Bruce Wayne himself to help the aging body (as the series storyline 'is set at the DCAU's chronological end), but Terry McGinnis became the primary wearer of the suit once Wayne retired. This batsuit is unlike anything else in DCAU. This gives Terry an enhanced power and comes with a sophisticated built-in gadget (similar to the Jean Paul Valley variant). Of the many features, the most commonly used are a set of retractable wings and jet shoes that together allow for flight, an active camouflage system that makes it almost invisible, and a two-way radio and video link system that allows Bruce to see and hear everything Terry does and gives advice and communicates. The suit is equipped with a microphone recorder at the fingertips allowing eavesdropping and recording of conversations either remotely or through walls. His signatures are now stored in a magazine. An automatic launcher built on the wrist puts one or more circles folded in the shape of a batarang to be thrown instantly (the suit most likely has a ballistic computer to compute a track to throw as shown when Terry attempts to throw a batarang while not wearing a suit and miss). The suit is flexible enough to be folded and kept in a backpack. It offers lightweight ballistic protection, fireproof, radiation resistant (though not for long exposures), durable enough to offer user durability to blunt strength trauma or significant impact (enabling the wearer to withstand beatings from creatures with superhuman powers). The original utility belt has been strung together like the original design of Batman: The Animated Series. He also revealed that the coat technology was designed by Dr. prosthesis scientists. Peter Corso. A recurring encounter with Inque causes Bruce to add an electroshock circuit to protect Terry or to paralyze an opponent. The Batsuit design is reused in the feature film Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (2000) as well as the Zeta Project crossover and even the Static Shock crossover i> and Justice League Unlimited . In episode episode Justice League Unlimited Epilogue (defined during the Batman Beyond era), a small change shows Terry has a more traditional bag like the design of The New Batman Adventures and Justice League .
- Other DCAU costumes
Flashbacks from the Batman: The Animated Series episode Robe Reckoning and The Mechanic and Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) show the earliest Batman costume (according to the book references Batman Animated is based on Batsuit from Batman: Year One with elements from the original Batsuit Bob Kane (which is also similar to how the basic costume will be designed in all subsequent DCAU appearances next). Batman also has an alternative armor of black armor on The Torch Song episode "The New Batman Adventures" which is able to withstand extreme heat and fire (such as the Firefly attack) and may also be bulletproof. During the alternate timeline created by the Vandal Savage interruption of World War II on the episode of The Savage Time, Batman's Batsuit reflects the state of war that he occupies: a helmet (with eyes that do not seem to exist but tend to has a visor), some stiff steel plates and combine firearms into the shed (unlike in the main timeline). Another alternative version of the universe from Batsuit worn by the Lord's Just Incarnation incarnation of Batman in the episode of the Justice League A Better World features lighter gray in capes, cowl and chest, and jet black on the rest of the bodysuit. The hood is also extended to cover the upper body and shoulders completely, with a Bat badge taped to the chest. The symbol itself is also converted into a more angled, and colored metallic silver, a version of the same logo appeared in the Batsuit Batmani Batman Beyond era. The Lord Batsuit Justice also does not use separate colors for the "clothing" section, has a gray silver utility belt, and the glove has no shells. In the episode of Batman Beyond Disappearing Inque, Bruce Wayne has Batsuit prototypes that resemble Bat-Armor from the comic comics comics Comics DC Comics Kingdom Come he uses to fight Inque. This batsuit can increase Bruce's endurance and give him protection, but inhibits his movement due to its enormous size and makes the burden on his weak heart.
Batman
In Batman's Batsuit (2004-2008), Batsuit looks very much like the costume of Batman: The Animated Series, but has a shorter 'ear' on the cowl to make Batman look more such as "boxers," claws at the fingertips of gloves, a slightly redesigned elliptical bat emblem on his chest, a high-tech belt utility connected to a Batcave computer system called "Batwave"; Belt buckles can be removed and used for some purposes, such as for tracking devices, for controlling Batmobile, Batbot, or as seen on "The Cat and the Bat" flying with a remote control car. He also has a longer cloak, such as a DCAU costume, sometimes covering his entire body under his head. In the episode "Fleurs Du Mal", it appears that the suit is related to Batwave, to monitor his physical and mental activity. Despite this regular standard Batsuit, Batman uses several other variations of Batsuit also in series to tackle certain situations and criminals.
- In the "Traction" episode, Batman was badly wounded by a very strong Bane, who was therefore forced to build an exo-skeleton prototype called "Batbot" to fight criminals. Batbot is controlled by Bruce Wayne while sitting in his cockpit. It is proven to have superhuman strength to match with Bane, along with increased levels of agility and endurance. It has two turbo retro-thrusters for flight on its back as well. The Batbot is also proven to be controlled through Batman's utility belt (for example, in the episode "The Cat and the Bat").
- In the episode "The Big Chill", when Mr. Freeze beat Batman in their first encounter, the last butler Alfred coats Batsuit with a special white weatherproof material, which can withstand temperatures below zero and can be used by Batman to disguise himself in the snow. It includes the face of Batman too, which is usually the only open part of its regular Batsuit. In addition, this arctic Batsuit is shown armed with ice skates that can be pulled in boots and two flamethrowers mounted on both sides of the waist. Also, the knife in Batman's gloves emits a high electric spark to melt the ice in its path. The Arctic Batsuit reappears in the episode "Fire and Ice", and is portrayed to defend a large amount of damage but protects the wearer, when Firefly manages the Batman maneuver into a fuel tanker that will explode. The Batman survives, but injures himself and has a broken suit.
- In the "Swamped" episode, when Batman has to fight against Killer Croc, he uses a special hydro Batsuit, which is not wet or allows water to enter. It's completely black in color, and Batman somehow spills or shortens his cloak in his jacket as he goes underwater into Killer Croc's battle.
- In the movie The Batman vs. Dracula (2005), Batman briefly extends the design of his utility belt to his shoulders and chest to carry a large number of vampire fights gadgets like a garlic bomb. , batarang-treated garlic, and a vaccine bottle made to fight the widespread vampiric virus from the vampire lord, Prince Vlad Dracula. The belt extension will also create a cross shape, which is generally known to fend off vampires because they dislike all Christian icons, including the Christian cross.
- When Garfield Lynn's transformation from Firefly became a nuclear-powered Phosphor in "White Heat", Batman designed a black NBC suit, made by Alfred, to protect himself.
- In the episode of "Artifacts", it appears that, over the next few decades, a Batman elder will adapt a simpler Batsuit resembling graphic novel Frank Miller Batman: The Dark Knight Returns . li>
Batman: Gotham Knight
In Batman: Gotham Knight (2008), DC Universe Animated Original Animated Movies between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight detail from Batsuit is displayed. The suit has many characteristics of the Batman Begins suit, but in the "Field Test" segment, Batman improves its setting with a forward-motion scanner that has an electromagnetic gyro that produces a small, deflating magnetic shield. fire-fire before he leaves it because of the danger to the observers of his random deflection. In "In Darkness Dwells", it appears that there is an infrared scope built inside the cowl, along with a rebreather that can be folded inside. There is a wireless relay communicator in cowl. The gestures are locked with quantum cryptology and bounce through a dozen different satellites (probably WayneComs). Appropriate animated styles vary between the costumes of Batman Begins and Comic Book costumes, including the likenesses of the New Batman Adventures and the Justice League clothing.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold
In Batman: The Brave and the Bold (2008-2011), Batman uses a slightly modified version of the blue and gray suit worn during the Silver Age comic from the 1960s and 1970s. Batsuit also resembles a "New Display" costume. According to the makers of the show, this is intentionally done to request a less dark and cruel portrayal of Batman after the release of The Dark Knight .
Although similar in appearance to the older costumes, Batsuit is unique in that it has a much larger number of gadgets than any other costume shown up to now, and has many characteristics from Batsuit in Batman Beyond. So far, this version has proven to contain not only a few Batarangs and other standard Bat gear, but also a foldable sword (hidden inside its utility belt in a sound similar to a lightsaber), wings, aerospace equipment, dive equipment, and multiple thrusters rocket. Also, the emblem on Batman's chest can now turn into Batarang emergency, becoming hard and stiff after exposure to some sort of magnetic field emitted by the lawsuit. Also, the 'ear' on the mask can be a long blade by pressing a button, sharp enough to pierce the robot's head.
In the episode "Game Over for Owlman", Owlman steals one of Batman's costumes that look identical to the original Detective Comics design from 1939, and commits a series of crimes to frame the Crusader Crusaders. In the flashback sequence of the episode "The Color of Revenge", Batman is shown wearing a slightly different costume that has the chest emblem of the Golden Age comic from the 1930s and 1940s, in addition to the teaser episode that Batman has sporting various Bat suits in a different color, in honor of Detective Comics # 241. In another flashback during "The Golden Age of Justice", the much younger Batman is shown wearing Bob Kane's original outfit during a training session with the Justice Society.
Youth Justice
The Batsuit worn by Batman in Young Justice (2010-2013) is largely similar to that seen in The New Batman Adventures , Justice League , and Justice League Unlimited , as well as comic books before Batman Incorporated . The only major visual difference comes from the detail on the suit, which highlights the padding and armored plates, in contrast to the more minimalist taking by Bruce Timm and other artists. In the episode "Schooled", Bruce is shown using a hidden Emergency Batsuit in the offices of the Metropolitan Waynetech company. As the nod of the 60s Batman series, the suit was accessed through a hidden switch inside the William Shakespeare statue.
Be careful of Batman
Taking advantage of the computer-generated imagery used to create the show, the Batsuit used in Beware the Batman is more detailed than the previous version. Like the clothing seen in most live action films, the new Batsuit is completely black and sports a bat emblem that is raised in the chest without a yellow ellipse, as well as a helmet that looks more like a helmet, and it's very similar to the outfit of The New Batman Adventures. i>, Justice League and Justice League Unlimited . The suit's utility belt was also redesigned for the show, and the actual model was built by Glen Murakami to make it as realistic and practical as possible.
