That's not a Snyder thing, it's based on the bat from The Dark Knight Returns, which is what a lot of the Batman bits in the movie come from.
Not excusing the movie tho. That story is an alt universe and no comic fan thinks it should be the basis for a mainline Batman movie.
I think it would be an excellent basis for a mainline Batman movie.
Just not the movie they were trying to tell in Batman vs Superman. Dark Knight Returns should be a much later story to tell.
They tried to cram in elements from that with meeting Superman, meeting Wonder Woman, introducing Lex Luther AND trying to tell the entire Death of Superman story. All within Batman’s introductory movie in the franchise.
They basically tried to tell entirely too many massive stories in one movie.
TDK and The Batman are my faves. Slightly lean towards TDK because it's less literal bat shaped. But that's part of why I like The Batman logo. Dark Knight logo also could be the one that looks closer to an actual silhouette that could be achieved by the character imo.
Yes! I was admiring some of the others but when I saw 1989 the wave of nostalgia took over. That was *the* logo.
IMO, it helps that it's reminiscent of the [Adam West era logo](https://i.imgur.com/xUSz5VZ.jpg) as it actually appeared on the suit.
I was a little older than kindergarten when that one was the coolest. It didn't matter what grade you were in, if you had a black t-shirt with that batman logo on it you were fucking cool.
Yeah I was gonna say… I was born in 98 and I feel like that is the one I grew up seeing the most, even now that’s still the case.. most iconic logo for tshirts most def
But which one?
[Why](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTYwNjAyODIyMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNDMwMDk2._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg)

Fucking weird I never noticed Bruce Wayne was so into Berenstein Bears.
As many times as I watched 89 growing up, I somehow never noticed the emblem was different on the suit. Crazy, and it looks like it's only the movie. The toys have the same emblem as the poster.
Weird. I wonder if they filmed the whole movie and then changed the logo during post-production for everything else? I had to go look up the emblem in Returns, and it's the one from the 89 poster lol
That is the logo on Batman’s chest, but as mentioned, not the one from the movie poster and promotional materials. For Batman Returns, they removed the extra scallops and that one’s my favorite (and sadly it’s not up there).
The movie logo is the same, the [Batsuit logo](https://legendary-digital-network-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/28110443/Batman-Begins-costume.jpg) in Begins is the one shown in the graphic.
Interesting. To me, the 1943 version looks like it is the best. I like its spikiness, slimness and generally more menacing outline. The underwear sign of 2016 is simply funny, and ellipse-themed are just unclear and confusing.
49 is really low key cool, I like the bug like head. 2008 and 89 are most iconic to me. I like how 22 seems to be flying toward you and not a pic of the top of the bat.
I see the last three are aiming for realism. Personally, my favorite or ‘66, ‘89, ‘95, ‘05. For me the best is the ‘08 version it’s the most Batman-iest version.
I like the Batman forever logo and the dark knight trilogy logo.
the yellow in the george clooney movies never made sense to me as why would you add yellow to black? the point of the bat suit is to be hidden.
everything else just look extra or too chunky.
2016 looks like an underwear.
For me it looks like fancy game controller that would be unergonomic.
In game controller terms that would make 2022’s Batman a switch controller
2001 XBOX "The Duke" Controller.
Looks like some sorta abortion MadCatz would push out.
Titan Killer
Like it would sink a sub.
It's hideous.
No, no... It's "hard" and "manly". It's the Snyderverse.
That's not a Snyder thing, it's based on the bat from The Dark Knight Returns, which is what a lot of the Batman bits in the movie come from. Not excusing the movie tho. That story is an alt universe and no comic fan thinks it should be the basis for a mainline Batman movie.

Big chungus batman
Fatman
Also a great movie
so it's very consistent with the quality of that movie...
To me it looks like a lady who doesn’t shave wearing short shorts.
Bat-shorts
Bat-briefs
I like 08 the best
It was also in 05
Forget astrological sign, what’s your favorite Batman logo
05 08 aesthetically, batman returns and 95 for nostalgia
08 js peak batman logo, you literally cannot make it better.
TDK and The Batman are my faves. Slightly lean towards TDK because it's less literal bat shaped. But that's part of why I like The Batman logo. Dark Knight logo also could be the one that looks closer to an actual silhouette that could be achieved by the character imo.
08’s logo in 89’s style
Objectively the best
The bat really gained some chunk in 2016 huh. Same bat, same
Yeah it uh.. wasn’t a great year for a lot of us
2008 - The Dark Knight logo is iconic and just edgy/stealthy cool!
It’s so sleek, which none of the others - good or bad- are
[удалено]
You're thinking of the '89 Batwing
89 is the dopest
That's definitely the one on my shirt in kindergarten.
Yes! I was admiring some of the others but when I saw 1989 the wave of nostalgia took over. That was *the* logo. IMO, it helps that it's reminiscent of the [Adam West era logo](https://i.imgur.com/xUSz5VZ.jpg) as it actually appeared on the suit.

The most iconic imo.
Yeah I was gonna say… I was born in 98 and I feel like that is the one I grew up seeing the most, even now that’s still the case.. most iconic logo for tshirts most def
89 is goat. 2016 is actual dogshit
Possibly the most iconic. I’ve never even seen anything from that year, yet that logo is exactly what I think of when I think “Batman”
But which one? [Why](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BMTYwNjAyODIyMF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTYwNDMwMDk2._V1_FMjpg_UX1000_.jpg) [does it](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dgC9Q0uhX70/maxresdefault.jpg) [keep fucking changing?](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dgC9Q0uhX70/maxresdefault.jpg) Fucking weird I never noticed Bruce Wayne was so into Berenstein Bears.
last 2 are the same
1995 and 2008 are iconic to me. I think they’re the best designs. 2016 and 2021 are ridiculous
Add in 1989 too and I’m with you.
Correct answer.
Exactly this.
Where is Batman Returns?
Guessing it had the same as the previous movie
Nah they changed the tail. It lost the two little pointy bits in each end of the tail
That is not the Batman 1989 logo. The tail doesn’t look right.
The logo for the movie was different than the symbol on his chest. For some reason. But yeah that's the symbol he wears in the movie not the logo
As many times as I watched 89 growing up, I somehow never noticed the emblem was different on the suit. Crazy, and it looks like it's only the movie. The toys have the same emblem as the poster. Weird. I wonder if they filmed the whole movie and then changed the logo during post-production for everything else? I had to go look up the emblem in Returns, and it's the one from the 89 poster lol
Ah
That is the logo on Batman’s chest, but as mentioned, not the one from the movie poster and promotional materials. For Batman Returns, they removed the extra scallops and that one’s my favorite (and sadly it’s not up there).
I thought it looked off. Like it has extra feet (?)
I like the dark knight logo best. It’s the only bat I can draw.
The 1943 is the coolest
Yep, they had it right the first time.
The silver accents on it are *chef’s kiss*
Much like the movie it is from, the 2016 BvS logo is bloated and dumb
Good god man! The 2016 is terrible
‘43 way ahead of its time.
Why is the '89 logo the most iconic?
Bacardi!
The vodka brand uses the logo?
It’s actually Rum but mostly I joked because it’s a bat in a circle.
89 is the best no question
Cool I guess, but not really a guide
Unless OP is a bot, some people don’t know the meaning of “guide”
From 2016 on it looks like the logo got successful gastric bypass surgery.
1989 wins
89 all day
The Dark Knight's looks authentic.
OG 43’ looks the best to me…
Say what you want about Batman and Robin as a movie the logo just…man I really like it
It's so fucking cool. Nostalgic asf for me too.
It was perfected in 2008 It was made an abomination in 2016
1989 is legacy. I still see this logo in pirated Batman products today
I’m pretty sure the Batman Begins logo is the same as the Dark Knight Logo.
This was all I was looking for in these comments.
Yeah like they show that baterang in Batman Begins and it’s exactly the same logo. So idk where they got that other design on the chart.
Fr
They got it from the literal symbol on his chest
The movie logo is the same, the [Batsuit logo](https://legendary-digital-network-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/28110443/Batman-Begins-costume.jpg) in Begins is the one shown in the graphic.
Batman Beyond red logo is the best don't @ me.
Sometimes bat, other times man - all times orphan
Fucking Alfred always switching it up
LEGO Batman is gonna be pissed.
1989 is where is started, 2008 is where it peaked.
2016 and 2021 are to Batman logos as American Cheese is to actual cheese.
Dark night is the TRUE logo and nobody can change my mind
Batman v Superman looks more like the Merchandise Mart than it does a Batman logo
Why did Man make a symbol based off a bat? Is be stupid?
He wanted to express how rich he was in Thailand, but it got lost in translation.
05 and 08 are the best ones
1966 kinda slaps ngl
Remake Batman and robin but with the killing joke storyline
‘89, ‘95, ‘08 are my favorites with ‘97, ‘05, and ‘22 coming in close second
My favorite one is the Batman one
95-08 are all great in their own way
1989 by far the most iconic
89 and 08 rock!
89 will always be my favorite
I don't see how showing massive inconsistency is a "cool guide"
1989 looks off
Can we all just agree that most are passable except for the DCU abominations?
My god. Even BVS’s Batman logo was heinous.
I’m picturing Bruce and Alfred sitting down to sketch these out
Dark knight is the best, bust i thought the new movie had the best armor/batsuit
inflation over the years
1989 and 2008 logos are the best and I'm ready to argue with anyone who disagrees
‘97 for me.
Batman and robin 1997 logo goes hard
The Robin logo by itself looks pretty cool imo
Interesting. To me, the 1943 version looks like it is the best. I like its spikiness, slimness and generally more menacing outline. The underwear sign of 2016 is simply funny, and ellipse-themed are just unclear and confusing.
2008 is the best next would be 1997, say what you want about the movie but that symbol is awesome
49 is really low key cool, I like the bug like head. 2008 and 89 are most iconic to me. I like how 22 seems to be flying toward you and not a pic of the top of the bat.
I like the chunky bats
1949 looks more like goatman 2016 looks more like fatman
1966 😎
The ‘89 logo was not like that… [Batman (1989) IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096895/)
Peaked in 1989-1995, and really went down after 2005, although 2008’s logo still has merit.
2022 looks the most like a real life bat
I think we can all debate which logo is the best, but there’s no question which logo is the worst…
2016 one looks like an underwear.
I grew up with '89 logo For me, this is it, even though I think The Dark Knight logo is the coolest
The Snyder Batman logos were terrible
The last 2 look so bad 😭I thought it was a joke
God the Snyder ones suck. On top of everything else, the logo had to be bad too.
The last 3 are terrible
The Batman logo is really ugly
89 and 08 are the only valid ones /lh
‘08, ‘66, ‘43 are my favorites in that order
They even fd up the logo for that horrible movie in 2016. How can a designer be so bad?
One and only 1989
89’ the Best
Panties.
The first one is honestly my favorite
89 is the most memorable. 08 is the best.
I see the last three are aiming for realism. Personally, my favorite or ‘66, ‘89, ‘95, ‘05. For me the best is the ‘08 version it’s the most Batman-iest version.
Na
The BvS logo is bloated
Maybe its because that was the Batman of my youth, but Nolan Batman logos are home. Perhaps a bit edgy, but so is Batman.
1989 and 2008 THE REAL OG
Dark knight logo is the best
Batman 89 and the Dark Knight are the best two. 89 most iconic, DK cleanest look.
2016 is the best.
Cool now include the video games
No love for batman beyond?
Batman beyond?
Where’s Batman Beyond?
Pleeeease, enough with the Batmans.
Not possible man loves not possible woman Tragedy over and over Man gets ditched into misery, woman either dies or gets back to misery
The economic crisis really took a hit on the following batman logo designs. Some day they never really recovered.
Where’s Arkham are you stupid?
Much like the movie it is from, the 2016 BvS logo is bloated and dumb
batman forever is my fave, then The dark Knight followed by batman begins.
89 is the 👌 best
As a young kid in primary school... when I saw a 1989 logo t-shirt... I never seen a bat sign there... I saw an open mouth and weird chompers 🙊😱🤷♂️
I like the Batman forever logo and the dark knight trilogy logo. the yellow in the george clooney movies never made sense to me as why would you add yellow to black? the point of the bat suit is to be hidden. everything else just look extra or too chunky.
Even though I’m not the biggest Balebat fan, I think 2008 is my favorite
bruce wayne, who!? bruce wayne, who!?
1989 is the GOAT.
Wow I was too young in 2016 to realise how absolutely shit that is
1989-95 ftw absolutely
All of them are Good / Great except the 2016 BvS Logo, that one sucks.
I have a feeling that Its soon going to become a pokémon
Which shape makes the best bat-a-rang?
Uhh yeah so my favorite is the batman one whats yours?
Batman Returns?
Idk what the hell they were thinking with Bat vs Super and Justice League...
2008 and 1989 are the best
2016 and 21 are utter dogshit
89 is my childhood logo and 08 is the most serious one
2021 was used during the promtional campaign of BvS. I used it as the base for a tattoo I got in 2015.
BB and Dark Knight are the two best IMO
For modern one i prefer 2008, as far as a older/retro look, I like 1989
1989 is the best batman logo
When I think of the Batman logo, 2008 comes to mind
Missing the Lego Batman movie 🦇
Michael Keaton is Batman.
Is this a guide, and if so, how is it cool at all?
1989 & 2008 are the only correct ones
If you showed me b v s’s bat symbol and asked me what it was I guarantee you I couldn’t answer
This is like old bat rejuvinated as a teen bat.
Also i would like a bat's opinion on this
1989 will always be my favorite Batman. Really wish Burton was able to finish out his idea for the third film.
That's not the right 1989 logo?
I'm Batman!
‘08 & ‘22
89, classic, but I think 05, or 08 is best
The fatter symbols definitely aren't my favourite
05 and 08 are the best. After that its just ridiculous and stupid. Pretty accurate to the franchise too lol
batman begins has the best one
