10 Best Batsuits In DC History

8. Thrasher Armour - Batman: Court Of Owls

Final Bat Suit Batman
DC Comics

This is another large, bulky exo-skeleton suit. Bruce built the suit for, as he puts it, 'battle in the most alien territories on Earth.' The suit withstands Arctic cold and desert heat, has a self-contained oxygen supply, and is made up of special fibres of Bruce's own design that are tougher than Kevlar.

During the Court of Owls Storyline, undead Talon assassins find and infiltrate the Batcave. Bruce, knowing that extreme cold will slow, then ultimately kill, the assassins, orders Alfred to lower the temperature in the cave as quickly as possible.

With Alfred safe in the armoury, Bruce puts on the Thrasher Armour and takes the fight to the Court of Owls as the temperature continues to drop. Using the built-in weaponry of the suit, including tasers and freezing Batarangs, he disables dozens of the assassins.

Unfortunately, the Talons end up destroying the armour; however, using it allowed Bruce to hold out long enough for the extreme cold in the cave to incapacitate the assassins and for Alfred to be rescued.
