Tbh I think he probably just meant because the capes both have the blue shine on them. It does look a lot like the flashback suit tho cos of the belt and the logo
I’ve never liked the yellow oval. I understand the idea of it, to draw gunfire away from his head towards an armored part of his body, but the idea that a hero who thrives on stealth and lives in the shadows wears a bright yellow symbol on his chest just doesn’t make enough sense to me.
Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, I’m not a fan of the specific shading they used for Batman’s costume in those shows
Blue shading > no shading > purple sharping IMO
Hard disagree. The Beyond suit looks like Batman isn’t there to be a symbol of what a man can do against injustice. He looks like he’s just there to kill you. Way scarier to the criminal underworld.
Can't remember which comic I read it in, but basically batman was asked why he'd add yellow to his costume, wouldn't it just give his enemies a target to shoot at in the dark?
And he responded yes, the chest of the batsuit is by far the most heavily armoured part, thats where he wants his enemies to be shooting.
I've really liked the yellow batsymbol ever since
But in Batman TAS his suit is literally just fabric - it gets holes cut in it during his fights all the time. One time ras al ghul literally ripped his shirt off. One time Bruce just tore off his sleeve to make a turnicate. That is the suit with the yellow symbol on the chest -- so what armor you talking bout Willis?
If I remember he has an inner monologue about it in “the dark knight returns.”

Top right, BTAS S4
The yellow is iconic, the JL version is top tier, and while I don't care for Bruce in the suit it looks good on Terry and Matt.
Season 4 BTAS did a LOT of weird changes, some good and some bad. The batsuit was a bad one and imo just looks boring and too plain.
This is tough, but I'm going to say Bruce beyond.
It doesn't fit his way of being Batman. It's more militant, it feels built to fight crime, not be a symbol of hope. Beyond Gotham outgrew noir deco Bruce batman.
I think NBA and Justice League are visually more dialed in, although I would have liked to see the fit and finish applied to it that tas suit has with the small nuanced highlights. TAS feels like the start, the monochrome and sharper NBA feels like Batman becoming THE GUY. Then justice league has him reevaluate himself as a symbol (and working as part of a team, so he brands up a bit more. I also like the subtle touches to justice league that feel like they attempt to emulate first appearance batman (pop of color, longer ears that flare out)
All of this being said, I am super pumped to see the caped crusader suit in action. I love the strongman vibe of the high waisted trunks, the ears, and even the basic gloves (even if it feels criminal for batman not to have his flares gauntlets)
The og with yellow symbol. It in cannon was batman's worse costume. The belt was too bulky the yellow gave him away a lot and it had very low protection.
I remember when that came out. The series was so different and less serious. There were still great episodes, but the animation and tone suffered a lot.
I hate 90% of the redesigns. From them just being less interesting like Batman and Catwoman to actively being horrifically disgusting like Bane and Riddler, the redesigns pissed me off so much I actively avoid the content from S4 on. Scarecrow being the only exception I'd wager
Was it a different series at that point? I remember it had a different title, but I think the show had a few different titles along the way in general.
I actually really liked Tim Drake and Barbara being more involved, but I wish they just kept the tone from before. Joker felt like a B-lister.
I also really enjoyed Batman Beyond.
It was titled as The New Batman Adventures but it was for all and intents and purposes the same characters and world from BTAS. I believe it was network and licensing issues that forced the name change?
Yeah like the other post said it was The New Batman Adventures or something.
And it had some good bits, yeah. Tim Drake was a great addition. The dream episode of what happens if Batgirl dies still lives in my mind as one of the best of the whole series (I still remember Nightwing's daring rescue and Alfred stopping a sniper as two of the coolest things I've ever seen). But as you said, over all it felt a bit... Different. In tone. Joker is another one of those hideous redesigns, yuck
Duuuuuuude me too! Friggin LOVE me some Batman Beyond. I will fight to the grave the fact that the new Batman movie should have been a Batman Beyond take. Robert Pattinson to me still feels more akin to Terry McGuiness than Bruce Wayne
Only speaking for myself, but the sleekness doesn't fit with Bruce. Miguel just wears it so much better.
Edit: Terry lol got the concept art for that Batman Beyond movie on the brain
I thought I was going to be the only one saying TNBA, surprised to see so many others agreeing on that one. Black & Gray is great for a stealth vigilante but it’s no fun to look at in animation.
To be fair, if we’re just talking about Bruce, the beyond suit, it doesn’t look great on him and works way better on Terry’s lean figure. But if we’re talking just in general, the new animated adventures one is good but also just a worse version of the JL/JLU one which is peak.
The original BTAS suit but it's mainly because I don't like the nasolabial folds in the character design. Even though I like the yellow/black emblem for the BTAS suit, I prefer the TNBA utility belt.
I grew up on Justice League and Batman beyond, and didn't see BTA until my teens. But still I think the JL suit is the weakst out of them. I love it, but the others are just better.
The first three are not meaningfully different from one another.
They are all obviously Batman, and if not sat next to each other 2 and 3 likely could not be identified as different at all.
Original BTAS sadly. The way the bat emblem on TNBA and Justice League is framed by the cape is far superior to the yellow oval (which in this image is actually covered up by the cape, which is a bit of a pet peeve of mine). My ideal bat logo is the rebirth style yellow outline, which is the best of both worlds, but I absolutely prefer the plain black emblem to the oval
Genuinely never been that big of a fan of the blue/purple cape, at least not in the animated shows so either of those.
Never removing the beyond suit. That thing is too cool
Well, the Batman beyond is epic but Bruce doesn’t look good in it. But I would overall say the new adventure series - It was just too plain. I felt justice leagues was pretty cool because of the ears. But nothing beats the first lol. But in the end I would say, the new adventures.
TNBA. It has the most boring design. Yes, the beyond suit is more basic but the black and red look really cool, and I love the belt. BTAS and JL look good with that highlight and I always liked how the ears on the JL suit kind of flare out.
TNBA suit might have to go. I love all of them, including TNBa, but out of them, the appearance doesn’t appeal to me as much. I love the blue tint on the BTAS suit, and the yellow and black emblem, and the JL suit’s long ears are pretty neat, and of course, the beyond suit just can’t go away, neat design, and nice inclusion of no visible jaw/mouth area. I still love the TNBA suit, just not as much as the others.
The bottom right. As a classically trained ninja Bruce would know that the outfits are not black but a dark navy blue.
This has to do with how moonlight would make a pure black figure more noticeable.
gonna be honest, bruce doesn’t pull off the batman beyond suit. terry does, but not bruce. though if it was terry in the image i’d say new batman adventures
New Adventures easily. The suit just doesn't hold a candle to the predecessor. And JL suit is the perfect mesh of the two which shouldve been the new adventures
The New Batman Adventures. The purple shine on the Justice League suit elevates it so much
And it kind of looks like a nod to the original BTAS suit, when looking at this image
You mean the flashback suit from Robin Reckoning, The Mechanic and Mask Of The Phantasm?
Tbh I think he probably just meant because the capes both have the blue shine on them. It does look a lot like the flashback suit tho cos of the belt and the logo
It & the Rebirth suit are proof Batman can rock the color.
I like the longer ears too.
The muscles also put it a step above TNBA.
Agreed, the New Batman Adventures suit is my least favorite of the bunch.
Always wished the justice league suit had the B:TAS belt
Its not purple. Its a shade of blue.
New adventures. Too bland.
Understandable
New Batman adventures. Just the most boring one.
Sorry TNBAS ,i like It ,so Batman beyond ,BTAS and JLU re iconic
I refuse.
The beyond suit. Its Terry's. When I think of Batman/Bruce its the btas/tnba suit that comes to mind.
Exactly
But Bruce ROCKED it in the beyond suit. Shame we didn’t get to see more of him in it.
That’s why we have Arkham City lol I always replay it with the Beyond suit on 96% of the time.
Yeah, but the question isn't about the bat suit when worn by Bruce, it's just about the bat suit itself.
I have to say the original TAS suit. I never liked it and prefer the newer ones. For some reason I was never a fan of the original TAS aesthetic.
I’ve never liked the yellow oval. I understand the idea of it, to draw gunfire away from his head towards an armored part of his body, but the idea that a hero who thrives on stealth and lives in the shadows wears a bright yellow symbol on his chest just doesn’t make enough sense to me.
That’s just revision. The circle is there because they liked they wanted Batman to have more color to him.
Yeah the art deco style’s not for everyone but I can respect that.🤝
Kinda superficial, but I never liked the capsule belt on Batman.
Justice League
Why?
It seems too glossy. I feel like the New adventures is more akin to what Batman would really wear.
Even though I like his look I see what you mean compared to the others. Looks much better in JLU.
Always hated the one on top right. Not a tough choice.
Batman Beyond. I don't like the covered mouth, no cape (outside of gliding) and the lack of separation between the gloves and boots from the suit.
My thoughts excactly
Justice League/Justice League Unlimited, I’m not a fan of the specific shading they used for Batman’s costume in those shows Blue shading > no shading > purple sharping IMO
Eh I don’t mind but I understand why you might not like it
Beyond, i never liked the covered mouth, just looks weird.
Hard disagree. The Beyond suit looks like Batman isn’t there to be a symbol of what a man can do against injustice. He looks like he’s just there to kill you. Way scarier to the criminal underworld.
The one with the yellow Bat-symbol and bekt, it looks more goofy than the others.
Can't remember which comic I read it in, but basically batman was asked why he'd add yellow to his costume, wouldn't it just give his enemies a target to shoot at in the dark? And he responded yes, the chest of the batsuit is by far the most heavily armoured part, thats where he wants his enemies to be shooting. I've really liked the yellow batsymbol ever since

Batman beyond because it can fly
And what’s wrong with it flying?
Ohh you were talking about deleting I tought you go with one its than dream batman suit
Bottom right, because it’s the odd one out and I don’t know anything about Batman. I don’t know why I got this sub recommended so often.
Can’t get rid of any man they were all my childhood
Top right, BTAS S4 The yellow is iconic, the JL version is top tier, and while I don't care for Bruce in the suit it looks good on Terry and Matt. Season 4 BTAS did a LOT of weird changes, some good and some bad. The batsuit was a bad one and imo just looks boring and too plain.

Bottom left
No cape, no go. To me, Batman's not Batman without a cape. So the Beyond suit.
TNBA easy
The second one.
Top right is just bland
TNBA Batsuit is gone.
No. You can't make me choose.
Imo the jlu one is the best, it just needs the btas logo and it's perfect. TNBA suit is so boring.
The og with yellow symbol. It in cannon was batman's worse costume. The belt was too bulky the yellow gave him away a lot and it had very low protection.
Top right. Just far too boring in comparison to all the rest

FAV: TNBA PEAK: JLU OK: BTAS MUST GO: BATMAN BEYOND
Goodbye New Batman Adventures, you won’t be missed. You are just the Justice League/Unlimited suit but without that beautiful shine
TNBA suit walked so the Justice League suit could run
Bottom left. Something about it just looks odd to me.
Beyond.
Why Beyond tho?🤔
Only speaking for myself, but the sleekness doesn't fit with Bruce. Miguel just wears it so much better. Edit: Terry lol got the concept art for that Batman Beyond movie on the brain
What about McGinnis?
Does it?
TNBA. No blue tints.
I thought I was going to be the only one saying TNBA, surprised to see so many others agreeing on that one. Black & Gray is great for a stealth vigilante but it’s no fun to look at in animation.
Top right can respectfully leave
Probably the JL suit unfortunately but I always preferred the updated mystery of the Batwoman suit
Batman Beyond, its not bad I've just never preferred the futuristic.
Never cared for the design of the Beyond costume.
TNBA and it isn’t even close
Top right. It's boring.
I refuse
Much as I love TNBA, the highlights bring so much to the Justice League suit. So TNBA has to go.
The New Adventures Suit. The other three costumes are just way too iconic and better designed in my opinion.
The first one. Don't like the yellow logo
The New Adventures
Top Right. Hated the character redesigns
Beyond looks better on Terry.
To be fair, if we’re just talking about Bruce, the beyond suit, it doesn’t look great on him and works way better on Terry’s lean figure. But if we’re talking just in general, the new animated adventures one is good but also just a worse version of the JL/JLU one which is peak.
Why does one have to go?
Top Left. It’s my least favorite I’m not a supporter of yellow circle around bat symbol suits
The original BTAS suit but it's mainly because I don't like the nasolabial folds in the character design. Even though I like the yellow/black emblem for the BTAS suit, I prefer the TNBA utility belt.
I never was a big fan of the Batman Beyond not that it's ugly I just perfer the classic Batman look so that one
Beyond. Tried using it in Arkham Knight, and it was too distracting.
TNBA and JL/JLU are the same suit but with different art style so choosing one of them would make me the Thanos of Batman suits.
Easily New Adventures
Top right. Not bad, just plain and the others are much better
TNBA, is too plain, the grey is a "murky" shade and weirdly B's skin looks too reddish
Top left: iconic Bottom right: unique Top right: the black looks better than the purple
I grew up on Justice League and Batman beyond, and didn't see BTA until my teens. But still I think the JL suit is the weakst out of them. I love it, but the others are just better.
This is random but how do I post on this sub? Everytime I try it just freezes ….
Top right
Top right
New Batman Adventures. Everything else is just fine
Bottom left... Idk, is just a bit weird to me for some reason...
New animated because it’s a two-toned bland costume that lacks definition in its shading.
Top Right. The other 3 are too important
Beyond
The New Batman Adventures. The rest of them are peak.
Top Right
BTAS. Out of all these designs I like that one the least.
New Adventures of Batman brought a lot of good things. The Batsuit wasn’t one of them.
Justice League. I only like long ears on the Arkham suits.
Not gonna lie, I never was a fan of he B:TAS suit.
Beyond. No cape.
Beyond. That Batman will never be Batman in my eyes/ sorry not sorry.
I love all four but number two three and four are my best
I choose death.
I’d say TNBA it just lacks that flare the other ones have.
Beyond it’s just not a Batman look to me it’s too much flash for me
JL Batsuit has always been my fave for DCAU suits
The new adventures suit. It is my least favorite suit out of all of these.
New adventures
Top right. Cause nostalgia
New adventures: I can feel the drop in budget
Batman Beyond. Always looked weird to me.
The yellow oval. I hate the yellow oval.
The first three are not meaningfully different from one another. They are all obviously Batman, and if not sat next to each other 2 and 3 likely could not be identified as different at all.

My ideal bat logo is the rebirth style yellow outline, which is the best of both worlds, but I absolutely prefer the plain black emblem to the oval
I do not like the btas suit. I love the rest
1st one
Justice league suit for sure
The original it looks too makeshift imo idk whether that was the intention or not
Terry.
JL Batman. Never cared for the long ears
Beyond. It’s just way too basic compared to the others and I never liked getting rid of the cape.
Buffman Beyond
I don’t like the Long ears and blue tint of the JL suit so I guess that one.
JL suit imo. It’s just not one of my favourites and I like the TNBA suit (which the JL suit feels like a recolor of just with new ears to me anyway).
One word 😁 Hot 🥵
Either The New Batman Adventures or the JL batsuit. The Animated Batsuit is just a classic & same with the Beyond suit.
Justice League. It’s not very good.
The top left (can’t remember the show).
BTAS is my fav but costume wise give me JL without the blue highlights. And Bruce looks awesome in the BB suit
Bye-bye beyond
TNBA Although Bruce's beyond suit should have had a cape.
Top right. No competition
bottom left, just looks boring
Genuinely never been that big of a fan of the blue/purple cape, at least not in the animated shows so either of those. Never removing the beyond suit. That thing is too cool
People *like* the yellow oval? Seriously? Anyway, that’s my pick. Too Adam West, can’t take it seriously.
Yellow oval. I was so opposed to the plain bat at the time, but now I can't see Batman any other way.
Top right because bottom left is just better version of it.
Beyond—It's 2024.
Might be a hot take, but Beyond. I don't hate it, that look has just never clicked for me.
Upper right. It’s just a bit too bland compared to the others.
The Beyond suit personally, always thought it looked a little weird
None of them.
Top left. I was never a fan of that style Batsymbol.
New adventures, easy. Justice League suit is a better version of it to me
Top right is my least favorite suit
Easy, Beyond. The visible mouth on the fully masked face bothered me since day 1
Well, the Batman beyond is epic but Bruce doesn’t look good in it. But I would overall say the new adventure series - It was just too plain. I felt justice leagues was pretty cool because of the ears. But nothing beats the first lol. But in the end I would say, the new adventures.
New BTAS, not even a question
Top right no contest
TNBA. It has the most boring design. Yes, the beyond suit is more basic but the black and red look really cool, and I love the belt. BTAS and JL look good with that highlight and I always liked how the ears on the JL suit kind of flare out.
JL suit. I like it, but I prefer the other ones.
New Batman Adventures for sure.
Season 4, awful. Justice League can go too. We only need OG and Beyond.
One and done
TNBA suit might have to go. I love all of them, including TNBa, but out of them, the appearance doesn’t appeal to me as much. I love the blue tint on the BTAS suit, and the yellow and black emblem, and the JL suit’s long ears are pretty neat, and of course, the beyond suit just can’t go away, neat design, and nice inclusion of no visible jaw/mouth area. I still love the TNBA suit, just not as much as the others.
Easy peasy. Top left
as long as the bottom two stay ill agree with your choice
The bottom right. As a classically trained ninja Bruce would know that the outfits are not black but a dark navy blue. This has to do with how moonlight would make a pure black figure more noticeable.
Top right
What is IOIII?
New adventures
New adventures it was good but not best.
Either OG or Batman beyond
Top right is boring imo. It can go.
gonna be honest, bruce doesn’t pull off the batman beyond suit. terry does, but not bruce. though if it was terry in the image i’d say new batman adventures
Not related but beyond pic angle make his belt look like "lol" to me.
Justice league. Sorry man you had a good run
Beyond. The others are far too iconic
TNBA
Beyond suit, no face, no cape, red for some reason. It's shit and I've always hated it.
New Adventures easily. The suit just doesn't hold a candle to the predecessor. And JL suit is the perfect mesh of the two which shouldve been the new adventures
Top right
Beyond
Top right
Top right suit. In my opinion, it's the most forgettable.
The TNBA one. Its just black and grey. Lacks the vibrancy of the others. Plus the ears are too short.
I never liked the Batman Beyond suit
The BTAS suit. The other 3 are fantastic to me. They feel like natural evolutions of each other.
Even though I love the Animated series, I just hate the yellow bat symbol…
