    Poll Which Batman Costume looks cooler/more awesome? Pre-New 52 vs New 52 Batsuit (57 votes)

    Pre-New 52/Classic Batsuit 32%
    New 52 Batsuit 68%

    Hey everyone,

    Since the New 52 had come out, it appears Batman's New 52 costume is his new "definitive" costume. Previously it would've been the classic pre-new 52 costume (spandex, underwear on the outside).

    I was wondering which costume do you guys think looks cooler/more awesome? I chose Jim Lee as a standard comparison since he drew both versions:

    Pre-New 52 Classic Batsuit
    Pre-New 52 Classic Batsuit
    New 52 Batsuit
    New 52 Batsuit

    Pre-New 52 is iconic and what some may call timeless while New 52 looks cooler, more practical and more advanced.

    I'd say New 52 because I really like the color scheme or black and gray rather than gray and blue. But I just wish he had longer ears for his New 52 suit.

    Hi, sorry Ii guess what I meant by pre-52 was his classic spandex outfit with the large bat symbol, and underwear on the outside.

    The 52 is a good concept of costume, it just a terrible execution.

    The lack of undies, knee pads, and bulky gauntlets really bring down the New 52 Batsuit.

    Pre-New 52 looks more epic but I think it's more of a generation thing, while I see the Batman as more of a stealthy detective, others (younger then I am) tend to see him as a super armored warrior.

    plus the new 52 utility belt is even more not practical then Pre-New 52 , need to have wider pockets.

    I really love this old design.

    Seems more a homage to the classic...

    I'm probably showing my age but THIS is the classic in my mind.. And my favorite BTW.

    @rag_man: You're not alone. Blue, grey, and yellow oval is the business suit that defined Batman as we know him for decades to the present. And, with B:TAS and B:TBATB, it'll persist long after Jim Lee's construction line fashion.
