There have been many variations to the utility belt, going back to when Batman and his characters were created. Considering what all the utility belts had, the design, etc, which is the best fit for Batman and his characters, and why do you like it?

Here are some of the belts, just in case you forgot them:

Batman/Returns Belt: Items seemed to just slide right into the front of the belt. I called it the "magic" belt when I was a kid, because any item he wanted would just slide to the front, w/o Bats doing anything.

B:Tas Belt: This belt had almost every item in a pill-shaped case. If he wanted to get something, he would just open the case, and get the item.

TNBA: This belt had pouches for everything. Batarangs, knives, cuffs, gas pellets, etc. It had almost every item he needed for his adventure.

The other belts I didn't mention because theirs simply too many of them. You can name any utility belt that has appeared in Batman continuity. Also, please state why you like it and what the belt is (like how I did on the belts above).

I like the 70's capsule one, that had a rebreather for the buckle. It was just so cool. But the YEAR ONE style pouch belt makes a lot more sense. My favorite though? The one from Batman Forever. Everything just snapped off it.

I really thought that the belts from Batman Forever and TNBA were pretty cool. The capsule thing just doesn't seem plausible, nor does the belt in Batman Returns...though they are both cool looking. I really love Batgirl's belt in the old tv series, it was so neat looking.

I always though the pouches, and not those yellow pellet things, made more sense. Yeah the movie belts seemed like "magic" at times, but in real life Batman would look like a telephone repair man with all that stuff, so that was Hollywood's solution.
