While it may be hard to imagine the Dark Knight brooding on top of a gargoyle statue in a colourful onesie now, it does remind us of happy nostalgic times rather than serious practicality. In his live-action appearance, Adam West’s take on Batman was like watching the comic book pages come to life - for good and bad reasons. It did more to humour Gotham’s criminals than intimidate them. As expected, the costume was weird and clunky with pointy bat ears. Back in 1943, Lewis Wilson had the unfortunate luck to wear the first-ever Batsuit.
Batman – Theatrical Serial (1943)Ĭontrary to popular belief, Adam West wasn’t the first actor to bring Batman to live-screen. With Matt Reeves and Robert Pattinson ready to put their spin on the character this week, we take a look at how the legendary cape and cowl has evolved over the years. The purpose was the same - to instill fear in the minds of Gotham’s criminals. Be it the campy, albeit comic-accurate one worn by Adam West, or the more technical and tanky-built one used by Ben Affleck. Ever since his debut in 1939, our favourite caped-crusader has donned many iconic outfit styles.
