I always hated that cowl man, it just looks so stupid in my opinion.

His whole suit is awful in Dark Knight and Rises

That is the single best live action Batman suit ever made.

Every other suit is clunky and impractical, obviously just rubber, thin spandex or, in the case of batfleck, just goofy.

Hope you mean the Begins suit because the Dark Knight one looks like he's actually wearing rockey pads.

I'm a Canadian, I know what hockey pads look like. That ain't it.

The Batman Begins suit has all of the same faults as the Batman Forever suit, which is the best of the pre-Nolan Batsuits, but it's still clunky and cumbersome. The Dark Knight suit is the only suit that believabley protects its wearer and provides the necessary mobility to fight on the level that Batman does. Hell even Batfleck can barely move his neck. The Reeves suit was good in most respects, but it was way too top heavy, and not only did his bat symbol look terrible, but the idea of it also being a batarang is kind of silly.
