Batman: Ranking Every Movie Batsuit From Worst To Best
8. The Panther Suit - Batman Forever
Pros: It looks almost like the Burton design, and there's an almost bio-mechanical monstrosity to the muscle detailing that actually would have suited a much darker film. Sadly, it wasn't in a dark film at all.
Cons: THE FIRST BAT-NIPPLE ATTROCITY. Also, what's with the cod-piece love?
Were it not for Joel Schumacher's weird fascination with adding nipples to the exterior of costumes (but not on women, because he's not a monster), the cooly named Panther Suit might be up there with the best two or three Batsuits ever made.
Though it bears Schumacher's trademark fetishistic flourishes (notice how pronounced the cod-piece is - Batman in this universe is REALLY scared of the possibility of genital assault), this suit came before he started really messing about, and as such it's surprisingly great. Much like the film it featured in, actually.
