Suits by Era
The core game suits are organized by the decade or era they originated from, reflecting the evolution of Batman's visual identity across comics, television, and film.
Golden Age (1939–1950s)
The suits that started it all. Batman's earliest comic appearances featured a purple-gloved, dark-grey suited hero with a simple bat-symbol. Key suits include the 1939 Golden Age Batsuit (the original), the 1940s purple-glove variant, and the 1950s sci-fi influenced designs. These suits emphasize Batman's pulp-detective roots with minimal tactical detailing and a more rounded cowl.
Browse Golden Age Suits →Silver Age (1960s)
The 1960s brought brighter colours, campier aesthetics, and the iconic Adam West TV series suit. This era features the blue-and-grey colour scheme with a yellow oval bat-symbol that defined Batman's look for decades. The Silver Age suits are characterized by lighter fabric textures, expressive cowl shapes, and the distinctive yellow utility belt.
Browse Silver Age Suits →Modern Age (1990s–2000s)
One of the richest eras for suit variety. Key suits in this category include the Sonar Suit (1995), the Batman: The Animated Series Suit (1992), and the iconic black-and-grey tactical designs from the 2000s comics. This era introduced armoured plating, sculpted muscle detailing, and more aggressive cowl shapes. The animated series suit remains one of the most requested suits in LEGO Batman history.
Browse Modern Age Suits →Film Era (1989–2022)
From Michael Keaton to Robert Pattinson, every cinematic Batman is represented. This category includes the 1989 Keaton suit with its iconic yellow oval emblem, the 1995 Schumacher suits with sculpted nipples and neon accents, the 2008 The Dark Knight suit with its tactical military design, the 2022 The Batman suit with its grounded, homemade aesthetic, and everything in between.
Browse Film Era Suits →DLC Suit Packs
The Deluxe Edition includes 4 DLC suit packs, each adding 7 suits and 1 Batmobile. These packs are also available for individual purchase if you buy the Standard Edition.
Arkham Trilogy Pack
Seven suits inspired by Rocksteady's acclaimed Batman: Arkham series, including the Arkham Asylum Batsuit, the Arkham City armoured design, and the Arkham Knight post-armour suit. Each suit captures the distinct aesthetic of Rocksteady's gritty, realistic take on the Dark Knight.
Batman Beyond Pack
Seven suits from the futuristic Batman Beyond universe, led by Terry McGinnis's iconic black-and-red Beyond suit. This pack also includes variants from the animated series and subsequent comics, featuring the sleek, high-tech aesthetic of Neo-Gotham.
Party Music Pack
A collection of seven musically-themed suits, including the Disco Batman suit with its groovy 1970s aesthetic, the rock-star inspired Electric Batman suit, and other rhythm-infused designs. These suits add a playful, lighthearted dimension to the costume roster.
Sinister Suit Pack
Seven villain-inspired suits that reimagine Batman through the lens of his greatest foes. This pack includes the Joker-inspired Clown Prince suit, the Batman Who Laughs inspired design, and other dark, corrupted variants that explore what Batman might look like as a villain.
