Modern, armored Batman, yes. 60's - or better yet, 40's - Batman, no better than any other set of tights. And yeah, tights look ridiculous in most cases, as if the would-be bank robber is suddenly confronted by an Olympic bicycle racer.
I always thought the best looking on film was the Shadow. The cape over the trenchcoat, with the wide-brimmed fedora, is a brilliantly classy look.
