All 65 Batman Suits Ranked by Power

Batman is infamous for his crime-fighting style and gloomy demeanor, but he’s also been named the “King of Armor” among fans. Since this iconic superhero has been around for over 80 years, there have been countless additions to his massive wardrobe. Stick around to find out everything there is to know about all of Batman’s suits to date, ranked according to their power levels.

Every DC Comics Batsuit ranked

Unlike many other heroes, Bruce Wayne does not have any superpowers of his own. Instead, he uses his creativity and innovation to craft Batsuits for different situations – a process that’s made far simpler due to how rich Batman is.

Batman has a setup for just about every occasion, environment, or villain, topped off with matching weapons, gadgets, and vehicles. He’s flaunted a ton of unique variants over the years – including a suit in each shade of the rainbow, a zebra print suit, and even a suit with a mummified aesthetic.

At the time of writing, Batman has at least 85 Batsuits, or up to around 200 when including every variant seen with on-screen releases – in fact, Batman has many suits we haven’t even seen yet. For the sake of simplicity, this list will focus on different looks and types of Batsuits rather than color or pattern variants.

We will also be excluding Batman-esq figures created through Elseworlds and fusions – such as “Speeding Bullets” (Superman) or Dark Claw (Wolverine). Batsuits from animated Batman movies and live-action Batman movies have been left out, as these usually stem from the DC comics.
