Batman (1966)

Adam West's batsuit was made like this to keep to its comic book origins as the comic book character looked like this. Also the use of the blue eyebrows on the cowl was used to make the bat look more friendly as he was suppose to be nice superhero. Also the first batsuit's utility belt was there for gags more than anything as many of its uses were either stupid or useless. It keeps with the campy theme of the film as it looks ridiculous on him. Also the bat emblem is much like its comic book predecessor showing that this costume is sticking to its comic book origins completely.









Batman (1989)

This batsuit is very different to Adam West's one as it hasn't got any grey meaning that he looks much more sinister and unfriendly. Also the look of batman is different too as Michael Keaton looks a lot tougher and stronger than Adam West because of the muscles put on the batsuit unlike Adam West's one which has none. The Utility belt has less of a part in this one apart from the new grapple gun, this was the first time it was used and has been in every comic and film since. Also, this batsuit was the first time they used black eyed make-up to enhance Batman's unfriendly look which has been used in every Batman film since.








Batman Begins (2005)

Christian Bale's batsuit is quite different to them both as now the suit is now very dark making Batman look very intimating than before. Also this batsuit is more realistic than the last two as it looks like actual armour rather than rubber or spandex which is what the other two had, and because we know what it was before (an abandoned military project) makes it much more realistic. Furthermore, the utility belt is used much more appropriately as it is used more unlike Michael Keaton's and is not used for laughs unlike Adam West, but is used to help Batman out holding numerous things.
