10 Best Batsuits In DC History
Sometimes, Batman has to step up his game and break out some of his wonderful toys.
Batman, unlike many other well-known DC heroes, isn't a super-powered demi-god. He is just a man - albeit a man who is at the peak of physical, psychological, and mental conditioning, and who also has a huge bank account to fund his costumed adventures.
Modern versions of Batman show him almost always being able to hold his own with anyone else, through the use of his body, wits, utility belt, and pre-laid plans.
ALMOST always.
But not always. Sometimes, even the Bat needs a power-up. With the aforementioned bank account, he has been able to do so many times, often by buffing up his iconic costumes with external armour.
While he's no Tony Stark (at least in terms of his armour collection), Batman indeed has a closet full of some fascinating suits that have let him duke it out with some of the most powerful characters in the DC Universe. This is a look at ten of the best.
It's worth noting that, while various toy lines have created some amazing Batman outfits, that let him do everything from deep-sea dive to go into space, none of them will be included in this list.
10. Haz-Bat Armour - Justice League
As mentioned a few times, Bruce Wayne has plans for everything. This armour is very much a special purpose outfit, but that makes it no less useful (or cool.)
The Haz-Bat suit (so named by Robin, that witty scamp) is a play on words for a traditional Hazmat suit. Batman's armour, however, does a bit more than the simple yellow suits that are most commonly thought of for hazardous materials.
The suit is designed to protect Bruce from virtually any virus, toxin, or hazardous waste on the planet. Other built-ins make it something close to walking biology lab - it can do medical scans, take tissue samples from patients, use thermal imaging for both medical diagnoses and finding threats, and assist with creating antidotes and counter-agents.
On top of all that, it is still light and mobile enough to allow Bruce what he has to do as Batman, yet is strong enough to take a punch from Superman.
Plus, the modified Bat logo, intertwined with the international bio-hazard symbol, looks cool as hell.
