Where do you stand on Batman having armor suits/mechas?

[AlexanderLuthor]

I think he should probably always be in it in JL stories or Batman/Superman...makes a lot more sense. Shouldn't allow him to brawl with Darkseid though - then I'm out on the suspension of belief scale

[chaos X effect]

I don't want to see them all the time, but if the story calls for it, I'm OK with it.

I voted indifferent. Really, to me, suits of armor/mechas don't seem that out there for Batman to have, because... well... he's Batman.

[Joker Venom]

If the story calls for it, I'm fine with it.

It's not something I'd want to see a lot of, though. I've no interest in reading "The Invincible Iron Bat".

A prototype Fenrir / Hell-Bat armor?

RECENT
1. The Bulky HAZBAT Armor Dick and Damian investigate Command-D in Bludhaven during Return of Bruce Wayne.
2. The Kirby-Bat Bush Robot Armor infected by Barbatos.
3. The "Insider" Batman Suit that resembles the Dark Knight movie armor but with Amazo JLA powers

THE NEW 52
1. The Incorporated Jet Armor in matching Batman and Robin paint. By David Finch (pre-New 52). Robin's shows up again.
2. This is a question actually - was there a Bat-Mech in Penguin: Pain & Prejudice? The cover art seems Bat-Mech-like.
3. The Owl-Buster Armor. By Greg Capullo. Used to defeat the Talons, and later to smash up Professor Pyg's prop plane.
4. The Jetpack HAZBAT Armor from Radioactive! By Tony Daniel. Used to defeat Mister Toxic.
5. The HAZBAT Armor from Terminus. By Pat Gleason. Used to defeat the radioactive Terminus.

Nice list. There was also a giant Bat Zord thing fighting a Owl Zord thing in Twenty-Seven, and from Recent a pretty sweet Jet Suit thing worn by Grayson in Black Mirror.

I kind of hate it, but I'll still read the stories. It just seems a little ridiculous. Gadgets are cool. I like seeing him fight hand to hand, especially when it's someone like Superman or Wonder Woman.
