5. “The New 52”
“The New 52” was a reboot of sorts back in 2011 which kept most of DC’s complicated history in place, but streamlined the universe to make it far more new-reader friendly (and it’s been a huge success both commercially and critically as a result). What you see above is the most recent version of the Batsuit, and although it’s a fairly straightforward look for Batman, Greg Capullo’s artwork would be a smart place to turn for Zack Snyder and his team when it comes to re-imagining Batman for a new movie. This suit also turns the cape into more of a cloak – an effective way of helping him blend into the shadows and generally just a cool look while he’s standing around – and the design of the cowl perfectly blends the character’s classic and modern looks.
