10 Best Batman Costumes Of All Time

9. Year One

Batman Inc Batsuit
DC Comics

As clean and simple as the Batsuit has ever looked. When Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli went back to the beginning, Mazzucchelli's Batsuit was simple but effective; a black emblem, yellow pouch-y utility belt, black mask and cape. Just what a Bat needed to scare the utter crap out of Gotham's gangster contingent.

Add to this Wayne's still fairly lithe figure (we're still years off the hulking beast of the Dark Knight Returns) and we have one of the more functional, human Batsuits ever created, nevertheless packing such neat-touches as the hidden sonar in his boot (in a sequence which made it all the way to Nolan's Batman Begins) and belt chock full of wonderful toys

Since being dumped at the altar by Catwoman in Batman #50, the Bat has returned to this classic look - because who could forget such an iconic look?
