Batsuit

## Batsuits

### First Batsuit

Bruce’s first was bulletproof, knife proof, fire resistant, electric proof but wasn’t very flexible.

* This suit also held a projector in the left gauntlet, which showed blue-colored holograms. Given that neither of his suits in had that feature, Bruce likely didn't think that it was important to incorporate this.

* Later during his early career he added shock gauntlets he also added sonars and made his suit better for combat.

* Military grade spun para-aramid fibers molded into the Batsuit chest piece provided greater protection from attacks

### XE Suit

When Bruce first faced off Mr. Freeze, he tested his new suit to face the threat.

This suit has mostly the same utilities as the first but now with thermal gloves and thermal batarangs.

### Second Batsuit

This second Batsuit was created by Bruce to help him during his nights as Batman.

This suit now has a cape created with memory cloth which made it easier for Bruce to glide, he added a voice modulator to disguise his voice and to make him more intimidating, he made the suit much more flexible, he added a gps tracker and with the help of WayneTech added a super lightweight Nano-engineered polymer plating incorporated into the Batsuit created a more resilient outer shell.

He also made some other changes such as:

* Batman redesigned the batsuit by changing the bat-emblem on his chest and added an oval shape around it with a yellow background to contrast the black bat symbol.

* The cowl's ears and the cape remained short for a while until Batman decided to make the ears longer and the cape larger.

* The gray piece of the suit was made of a light material, similar to a shirt, although it was more resistant. The golden shield was reinforced with an armor plate sewn beneath. The crown and back of the cowl were reinforced and the front was form-fitting and tight.

### Third Suit

This version was worn by Dick Grayson when Bruce was absent from Gotham for a year.

This has the same modifications of the the second suit but was made slimmer so that Grayson could fit bit the were still some modifications made by Alfred and Harold Allnut such as:

* Dick also upgraded the Batsuit to include the yellow oval in his chest and switched the black parts of the suit to a blue colour.

### Fourth Suit

This suit was worn by Bruce Wayne when he returned to Gotham.

This suit is a massive upgrade from his previous one.

* Batman started by using a suit made of a Kevlar weave with ceramic plates centered around the bat symbol with the inclusion of a holographic screen projector in the right gauntlet that allowed him to communicate with Oracle and other allies face-to-face. The suit is designed with flexible plates overlaying a MR-fluid (magnetorheological fluid) armor layer, and incorporating the latest in cutting-edge technology.

* When the Batsuit's armor was soaked in a top-secret prototype formula developed by Lucius Fox at Waynetech, its durability and protection was greatly increased while retaining full movement and flexibility

### Fifth Suit

This suit was worn by Jean-Paul Valley after Bruce’s back was broken by Bane.

Jean-Paul Valley changed the suit massively and the changes are:

* When Jean-Paul Valley took over as Batman after Bruce Wayne was paralyzed by Bane, he started out wearing the standard Batsuit. His first modification came after his exposure to Scarecrow's Fear Toxin set off The System.
* The old leather gauntlets were replaced with more modern, armored weapons armed with razor sharp talons and a shuriken launcher. His first encounter with Bane lead to him modifying the entire suit entirely. \*
* The cape was replaced with a shorter one attached to an armored chestplate which also mounted a searchlight with the Bat-Shield on it. The costume was one piece and the legs mounted three razor sharp accouterments on each one.
* The old cowl was replaced with a full covered cowl. Eventually, Jean-Paul improved the cape and made it of kevlar and ceramic armor, which made it bulletproof. The body of the suit was covered with chainlink steel mesh inside a nomex shell

### Sixth Suit

The current suit has been worn by Bruce ever since he got back the mantle of Batman from Jean-Paul.

The Batsuit v8.0.3 is designed by Lucius Fox and it includes:

* The tri-weave bodysuit consists of an outer and inner layer made from a titanium-dipped tri-weave fiber mesh. Sandwiched in between is the MR-fluid based liquid armor system. The proprietary WayneTech Smart MR-fluid hardens in response to impacts, specifically designed to provide superior shock absorption, as well as enabling greater force delivery behind counterattacks.

* The liquid body armor layer is also more flexible than the ceramic or fiber-based alternatives used in previous suits, allowing for greater maneuverability and faster elimination of multiple targets in quick succession.

* The suit's subsystems are symbiotically integrated with the Batmobile and provide a quick launch capability via the vehicle's electromagnetic ejection system (analogous to launch from a railgun).

* Designed to withstand up to 6gs of acceleration, the suit increases navigational capability by tolerating high acceleration maneuvers without risk of injury (vis-a-vis gliding, Grapnel Gun boosting, and high-speed ejection from the Batmobile).

### Beyond Suit

This suit was created by Bruce when his aging stated to affect his vigilante career.

This was entirely designed by Bruce.

* Retractable wings under the arms to glide on.

* Rocket boots enabling thrust.

* Sensitive touch microphone on index and middle fingers that permits eavesdropping through solid surfaces or at a distance. The recording can be played and downloaded into a chip.

* Personal communicator.

* A remote kill function that can externally paralyze the suit from the Batcave.

* Dispensable batarangs.

* Electric batarangs.

* Explosive batarangs.

* Built-in cloaking device that enables almost complete camouflage. Its only weakness is that he becomes visible if UV light is shined on him.

* Significant resistance to water, electricity, heat and radiation.

* Retractable claws which could be used to cut or facilitate climbing.

* Enhanced visual assistance that allowed him to see in the dark. The visor could also serve as digital binoculars and an infrared filter. Visual from the Batsuit could be fed back to the main computer in the Batcave; it could also receive visual from the main computer, allowing for superior tactical planning.

## Weapons

Here’s a list of the Batsuit Weapons.

* Kryptonite Ring
* Smoke pellet
* Sonar Gun
* Grappling Gun
* Caltrops: For boobytrapping his escape as well as shredding automobile tires to prevent criminal getaways.
* forceps and plastic bags for retrieving evidence
* Infrared paint spray and infrared goggles for investigatory work.
* Gas mask: For breathing in toxic, contaminated atmosphere.
* Miniature camera: for evidence taking.
* Lock picks
* Bolas: For capturing and tying up criminals simultaneously. Often attached to a rope or line, permitting Batman to reel in the criminal after he has caught them, often leaving the criminal hanging from a height so the Police can apprehend them.
* Explosives: for demolishing obstacles or handling threats tougher than he is.
* Internal computer

## Other/ Miscellaneous

There are other suits that Bruce created/designed but they were either destroyed or damaged beyond repair such as:

* Bruce’s first night suit: Batman's second Batsuit incorporated more advanced materials and more varied gadgets and weaponry. The cloth pouches on the utility belt were replaced by rigid yellow cylinders, and the chest emblem was now encircled by a yellow oval reminiscent of the Bat-Signal. The simple grappling hook and line were replaced by a device that launched a line-trailing grapple over great distances, although the hook and line still saw action from time to time. It was during this redesign that the many gadgets and accessories designed to complement the suit and expand Batman's arsenal began to appear, such as a rebreathing apparatus and a motorcycle helmet designed similarly to the cowl.

Barbara Gordon briefly wore it before designing her own suit

* Fireproof suit: To battle the villain Firefly, Batman donned a heavy suit that was very resistant to heat and fire.
