In a world where superheroes now have some major alterations to their costume in almost every film, it seems unlikely that the design of the Batman in Christopher Nolan’s classic trilogy would go untouched from 2008’s The Dark Knight to 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. And yet, that’s exactly what happened, because you don’t mess with what works. Christian Bale’s Bat-suit is exactly the same between the two movies, something that makes sense in terms of how they found a design that worked perfectly for them and makes sense given that Bruce quit being Batman in the interim of the two.
