That new one really takes up a lot of space on the chest. You ever notice that most Marvel characters don't have have a crest like that? I mean Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four have a symbol but Iron Man doesn't wear a big I or Thor doesn't wear a big T and Captain America just has a star and of course the Hulk is shirtless. I'm not sure which way is better, though purely for branding the DC way is better.
1986 must've been when Batman was fat and out of shape.
Not crazy about the new one.
I like the 1966 logo, but that's what I grew up with. I really don't like the new one. it looks knitted.
Cool image.
I like the new suit, but the symbol is too big.
I have never been a big fan of the Yellow around the bat.
Yeah David, it worked with the 60's costume but looks weird out of context. Like a target.
Agreed Tom.
Yeah Marvel has a hard time branding their characters. You can buy a Superman key chain but it's hard to get a Hulk one. No iconic symbols.
Was it you guys who already posted this or have I stumbled down a rabbithole of infographics? There was a hiccup of a black-on-black costume in the '90s after Bruce Wayne reclaimed the cowl following the "Knight-something" saga and Dick Grayson's first run as Batman. But I suppose this is technically more about the bat symbol than costume changes themselves. Still worth mentioning, though.
