In an interview for Jim Steranko's History of the Comics: Vol. One, Finger described in detail, the extent of his suggestions about the costume. He felt the original character (The Bat-Man) looked too much like Superman with a mask and bat-wings. He recommended replacing the Da Vinci-inspired wings with a cape, giving him gloves, and changing the character's bodysuit from red to grey.

Affleck's Wayne wears in Batman v Superman: Breguet 7047PT Tradition Fusee Tourbillon goes for almost $200k and is a sophisticated timepiece with a case crafted in platinum. The watch includes a black leather strap with an exposed glass face showing the inner workings of the watch.

In The Dark Knight Rises, Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne wears a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso that retails for around $15,000.

If Wayne's wearing a $5,000 Italian suit then there's no doubting his shoes will be just as luxurious. He most likely owns a different pair to match each suit, preferring handmade Italian brands such as Brunello Cucinelli, A. Testoni and Salvatore Ferragamo.

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.

At the same time, this is definitely one of the most realistic portrayals of Batman. There’s little dramatic flair to the costume (other than that it is one), and it’s instead one of the most utilitarian versions of the Batman ever made. Just too bad it can’t block knives.
