Comic book writer Grant Morrison said it best: “[Every bat-suit is] completely different” – sometimes insanely different – “but they’re all instantly recognizable as [the-bat-suit].”
Unlike Superman, who has more or less been wearing the same blue and red strongman since Action Comics #1 in 1938, Batman just keeps changing his appearance every few years to keep up with the times. Basically, he’s the Madonna of superheroes.
Which is why I created this Batman infographic — to keep track of every single “significant” bat-suit across all mediums (which excludes a grand majority of the bat-suits featured in non-canonical comic books, in case you were wondering).
We contacted the creator of the infographic, Benjamin Andrew Moore, and asked him if we could post it here. (And told him we loved it.) He said “Definitely!” and thanked us for aksing. You are welcome, Ben, and thank you very much!
Click on the pic below. That will take you to the link. Once there, scroll down to the graphic, click on it, click it again, and you’ll get a huge version, so you can see all the costumes up close – and read what Batman is saying, such as “Welcome to hell.”
