Some might say it's not the costume that makes the man, but the worth of his actions within in. Batman pretty much said it in one of Christopher Nolan's movies - or words to that effect - before quickly changing his mind and deciding that the symbolism of the Bat was actually paramount to the policing of Gotham.
All hypocrisy aside, he did have a point. Batman looks like Batman in order to terrify criminals: he adopted the image of the Bat because it represented fear for him, and there is an aesthetic psychology that actually suits the making of the suit.
Unfortunately, some film-makers charged with bringing Batman to the screen have ignored that completely and turned Batman into a riot policeman with a funny helmet. The question here is where the latest suits sit in the pantheon of on-screen Batsuits presents itself rather pertinently. So which truly is best?
Quick qualification first: only live action Batman movies count. That still means a massive number of suits however, because Batman has had more costume changes than your typical Oscars host.
Honourable Mention
This Guy - Suicide Squad

Come on now, that's barely even a real attempt. Still, it's a nice little jab at Batman by the Joker. Nice bling too.
19. The Second Serial Suit (1949)

Pros: Actually, a pretty cool Bat-symbol. Even if it is too low on his body. Also, slimming underpants, a la Bridget Jones.
Cons: Well, it clearly doesn't bloody fit properly, giving the effect of Batman wearing his Batdad's costume or something. It's not practical for crime fighting (being more of a theatrical costume) and the utility belt is almost under his armpits.
You can probably forgive the first 1940s serials for their lack of production values: it was war-time and there was no real precedent for superhero movies. But they could have made sure the cowl actually fitted the actor properly.
It's all very bad cosplay, really.
