Batman: Ranking Every Movie Batsuit From Worst To Best

18. The Arctic Suit - Batman & Robin

Robert Pattinson The Batman
Warner Bros.

Pros: Was supposedly functional, specifically to help combat the threat of Mr Freeze.

Cons: It looks like something Siegfried & Roy might have designed for a superhero-themed magic trick. Also, despite being called The Arctc Suit, it has no actual practical uses against Mr Freeze, and the focus on the cod-piece is just stupid.

An entirely regrettable suit, this third act upgrade for Batman & Robin was clearly designed to be a cynical exercise in boosting toy sales for Warner Bros. Alternates meant more money, after all, even if they looked like garbage.

It also continued Joel Schumacher's needless fetishisation of the actors' bodies (including Alicia Silverstone, before anyone claims Meninism here), with nipples and genital focus that no Gothamite villain would have been even remotely scared of.
