10 Best Batsuits In DC History

3. Hellbat Armour - Batman and Robin

Final Bat Suit Batman
DC Comics

For all of his remarkable skills, Batman is still, well...a man. He deliberately puts himself into situations that he knows he may not win, like squaring off against god-level creatures such as Doomsday, Bizarro, and Darkseid.

The Justice League recognised this, and decided to give Bruce something to help him even the odds.

They all pitched in and had a hand in building what would become the Hellbat Armour. Superman formed it from material at the heart of a sun. Wonder Woman forged it in Olympus, Cyborg assembled it. Flash and Aquaman tempered it using speed and ultra-cold water, and Green Lantern added a shape-changing cape, allowing for flight.

Hellbat gave Batman heightened levels of speed, strength, and stamina, as well as invisibility.

It was a badass piece of equipment, but with a price. The longer Bruce wore the armour, the more life-force it drained from him.

But Bruce was willing to pay that price. He donned Hellbat to travel to Apokolips to rescue his son Damian (the current Robin), which he did, but not without damage to the suit and to Bruce.

The Hellbat should be considered an apocalyptic-level threat response. It's that powerful.
