10 Best Batman Costumes Of All Time

When it comes to the costume department, the New 52 set most of its heroes back considerably, doing away with Batman and Superman's outside-underwear and forcing upon them multiple high collars, chinstraps and weird-looking wrist bracelets.

In 2016, Greg Capullo (no stranger to an awesome-looking Batsuit) sought to redress the balance somewhat, in a simple yet streamlined design which emphasised the good but hid much of the bad.

Instead of the yellow oval, there's a subtle outline to the bat emblem, and the utility belt is redesigned in Tron-like yellow and blacks too. The gloves and boots are still military-style and chunky, but work with the simplicity of everything else. The purple cape lining is a nice touch too, and though Batman and Superman will always look weird without the outside-underpants, Capullo found a way of making it work.
