The Batsuits are a series of protective suits used by Bruce Wayne as the vigilante, Batman.
History
First Suit
The original suit was used by Bruce Wayne as the Batman in 1989, with him battling criminals in the city and later, the Joker. The suit was heavily damaged when Bruce crashed the Batwing at the steps of Gotham Cathedral. It was later repaired, with Bruce donning it again while patrolling on the streets of Gotham[1]
Second Suits
Soon afterwards, the Batsuit was mass-produced to prevent a lack of suits and was kept in the Vault of the Batcave. Over time, Bruce often changed into a different Batsuit when the default one was damaged by criminals and gunfire, one was severely damaged while battling Penguin and was replaced afterwards.[2]
Third Suit
Months later, Bruce began donning a different suit with designs inspired by the first and second suit, adding advanced technology to the suit.[3]

Functions
- Identity Concealment: The Batsuits consist of black cowls, covering the top half of Bruce's face and concealing his identity.
- Advanced Durability: The Batsuit was proven to be durable, albeit able to be damaged by close-range gunshots. The second suit improved the first suit's durability, with gunshots being harder to penetrate the torso piece.
- Glider: The second suits consist of a glider inside the cape and improving Bruce's efficiency in transportation.
- Lenses: The cowl of the third suit installed white lenses, presumably to provide protection to Bruce's eyes.
