11. Young Justice

Batman wasn't a main character in Young Justice but he was one of the major recurring players, overseeing the titular team of heroes from time-to-time and showing up when they were in need.

The character's look was very comic-accurate, adopting a bit of a less-is-more approach in that it was your typical black and grey combination, with the all-grey bodysuit and all-black cape and cowl. It also opted against the classic yellow bat emblem and simply featured a large black bat across his chest.

While Young Justice featured some awesome character designs, it didn't translate all that well for Batman. In a way, the more complex illustration style of the series didn't complement Batman's more simple design, with it often looking a bit like an overcomplicated remake of the The New Batman Adventures' Batsuit. We've also seen designs similar to this in the DC animated movies, which just lack the character of the original animated Batsuit designs from previous generations.

Honestly, the Young Justice Batsuit is very good and very Batman; it just doesn't have as much to say as some of its predecessors (and that's arguably because it tried to say too much by overcomplicating a simple design).
