Few characters in DC Comics have the will and determination of Batman. The Caped Crusader is a great threat to criminals and anyone who dares to compromise the mission he swore after his parents’ murder all those years ago in Crime Alley. Batman won’t back down from a common street thug, or a Kryptonian, and Injustice 2 proves just that.
Batman is an intensely popular character and is one of the most fun characters to play in Injustice 2. With that, Batman’s best gear in Injustice 2 is highly sought after, both for its appearance and great capabilities against other players. The best Batman gear can have players take on the appearance of the Dark Knight as he is feared across Gotham City.
7 Insurgent Armor
The ominous red and grays of this Batman costume seem more suited for Red Hood than for Bruce Wayne’s Batman. Opponents will surely be terrified of not only the costume of the Insurgent Armor but of the powerful gear that it houses.
The Insurgent Armor is Batman at his finest, considering Batman was part of an Insurgency to overthrow Superman and his Regime years prior. Batman gains additional strength and ability thanks to the full set of the Insurgent’s Cowl, Insurgent’s Armguards, Insurgent’s Chestplate, and Insurgent’s Leg Plates. Additionally, Batman will deal 100% extra damage to classic Batman foes, making quick work of his Rogue Gallery.
6 Cowl Of United Justice
Injustice 2 does not feature similar skins from the first game or other fighting games. Players will have to unlock gear and colors to make their outfits unique, but never to the degree of accuracy seen in comics and films. However, the Cowl of United Justice changes all of that and lets players dress their Batman as Ben Affleck’s Tactical Suit Batman from Justice League.
There is a full set of this armor, and although it has some decent stats for an epic gear rarity, its main selling point is the fact that players can dress up as the DCEU’s Batman seen in 2017’s Justice League and 2021’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
5 Luthor Wayne Mark-2
With the universe of Injustice both destroying and building relations between unlikely heroes and villains, it was inevitable that the two great minds of Bruce Wayne and Lex Luthor came together as allies. The two billionaires invested a fortune into more Batman suits, with the combination of Luthor and Wayne.
One such armor is Luthor Wayne Mark-2, which gives Batman a new set of leg armor and a belt. Combining the two gives Batman 100 more strength and ability, which greatly improves both stats so Batman can deal devastating strikes as well as great ability attacks.
4 Plastisteel Tactical Gear
It’s no surprise that Batman has a bountiful amount of armor, considering the villainy he fights daily. However, as the years go on, the armored looks seem to make themselves more apparent to withstand Superman’s attacks.
The Pastisteel Tactical set focuses on strength and defense and combining the Pastisteel Tactical Bracers, Pastisteel Tactical Armor, and Pastisteel Tactical Boots, grants 300 extra defense, with a 5% chance for batarangs to apply an additional effect.
3 Kryptonite Infused Armor
Defense is a major player in Injustice 2. Adding defense to gear pieces means that hits won’t be so impactful, and players will be able to deal devastating blows while their opponent struggles. Something that will have powerful characters struggling, even more, is that of Kryptonite Infused Armor, meaning Kryptonians will have a hard time against Batman.
Pairing the Kryptonite Infused Cowl, Kryptonite Infused Arm Brace, Kryptonite Infused Breastplate, Kryptonite Infused Shin Guards and Kryptonite Infused Utility Belt, nets a powerful bonus of defense. Batman players will inflict 25% extra damage to Kryptonians, and receive 25% less damage from Kryptonians, thus making the gear great against Superman and Supergirl.
2 Billionaire’s Suit
A defining aspect of Batman’s outfit is the fact that people can see his mouth and chin. Joker once asked why he does this, to which Batman replied “to mock you.” However, Billionaire's Suit sees no reason to show his chin anymore, considering everyone in the Injustice 2 universe knows Batman is Bruce Wayne.
The gear is slick, futuristic, and features 5 pieces. The Billionaire’s Cowl, Billionaire’s Cufflinks, Billionaire’s Chest, Billionaire’s Pants, and the Billionaire’s Buckle. These epic gear for Batman increase the number of credits and guilt credit Batman can earn by 25%, while also giving him some stylish golden batarangs that offer no tactical advantage whatsoever.
1 Luthor Wayne Mark-11
The greatest weakness of Superman is no secret, and it is one that Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne knew they had to exploit if they were to best Superman’s power and influence. The peak of Luthor Wayne technology was the Mark-11 armor, which featured Kryptonite infused in the suit, as well as the gauntlets. On top of being effective, it also looks very cool.
However, when players equip the Mark-11 Cowl, Mark-11 Gauntlets, Mark-11 Chestplate, Mark-11 Boots, and Mark-11 Belt, they will not gain any bonus damage against Kryptonians, but, great bonus damage overall. Players will gain an additional 200 strength, with a 15% increase in Batarang damage, as well as an increased range of Bat Swarm power.
Injustice 2 is available on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile devices.
