10 Best Batsuits In DC History

5. Augmentation Armour - Batman And Robin

Final Bat Suit Batman
DC Comics

This is one of the lesser-known armours on this list, which is unfortunate, because it's not only well-designed, it's extremely powerful.

During one adventure, Batman and Robin are taking on the villain Terminus, who is wearing his own supersuit, one that enhances his strength and power. Realizing he is outmatched, Batman orders the Batmobile to open a hidden storage compartment holding what he calls his Augmentation Suit.

The suit looks like a cross between an Iron Man armour and a medieval suit of chainmail, with glowing red eyes and bat logo. The armour allows for Bruce's usual combat style while also drastically enhancing his strength and speed and allowing him flight.

Wearing this armour, Batman easily defeats Terminus, and also stops a nuke that is heading for Gotham. He survives the subsequent nuclear explosion, which is something that Superman has barely done.

If the suit allows for all of these abilities, and Batman carries it with him all the tim, it begs the question of why Bruce doesn't simply wear the Augmentation Armour full-time.

Chalk it up to comic book logic...
