But the Batman costume had a purpose behind it’s design. (and didn’t some of the late-'80s comics have a pure black outfit?)
Bats first got an all-black costume in the comics in the '90s.
Anyway I love the batsuit because it still embodies the comicbook feel. The costumes (and Halle Berry) are the biggest reason I can’t bring myself to rewatch X-Men and X2. I loved those movies as a kid.
