The batsuit in The Batman looks practical, it allows for a flexible range of motion and most importantly, you don’t need to be peeled out of it in case you want to take a piss.

With the Joker having stripped Batman of access to all of his wonderful toys, the world’s greatest detective will don a new Batsuit by the time that Batman #100 hits the newsstands.

We live in an age where fans can take the bare minimum, whip out a tablet and get to work as their imaginations fired on all cylinders to create something that just looks downright awesome. Here’s a perfect example for you, as concept art and designer extraordinaire Jarold Sng put his own artistic stamp on Patman.

If you’re going to tackle the idea of the caped crusader in film, there’s no better way to drum up interest in your take on the Dark Knight than with the briefest of looks at his new costume. The Batman director Matt Reeves definitely knows this as well as he just provided the briefest look at Robert Pattinson dressed for a night out on the town

For the fans who still play the utterly superb swansong to all things Batman via Rocksteady, good news! While the studio’s next project may be anything from a Superman game to a full-on Suicide Squad experience according to whichever direction the rumour winds flow in on any given day, some new content from the studio has finally come out: A Batman Earth-2 skin for the caped crusader.

The Prop Store of London will be having another one of its regular sales, and one of the items up for grabs may just be the biggest bat-grail since the mold for the bat-nipples from Batman Forever went under the hammer. What is the item in question? None other than the original batsuit, worn by Michael Keaton on the big screen in the 1989 Batman movie.

With the 80th anniversary of Batman being…well this year actually, Warner Bros. was looking to celebrate almost a century of the caped crusader with a roadshow museum where all his greatest suits and the abomination outfit from the end of Gotham would be put on display with Batmobiles, props and leftover penguins that had rocket launchers attached to them. The only problem? These suits were disintegrating quicker than the unused condoms in my wallet.

Dressing Michael Keaton up in a leotard and giving him circus trunks to wear on the outside would have ruined the illusion of the dark and Gothic world that Tim Burton was looking to create in his Batman film, forcing the director and his crew to come up with a more imaginative take on the idea of the caped crusader that didn’t just look good on camera, but also made sense within the context of that world.
