This exact same costume is re-used in "The Dark Knight Rises" (2012). Batman initially also makes use of a motorized brace to support his damaged knee after injuries he sustained in "The Dark Knight". During Batman's first fight with Bane, the costume is initially damaged when Bane severely beats Batman and tears off part of the cowl after cracking the graphite. The rest of the costume is disposed of by Bane's henchmen after carrying off Bruce's badly injured body, as he is shown wearing ordinary rags when imprisoned in the Pit. After he escapes from the prison, Batman is able to acquire an identical Batsuit from the underground bunker (the same one he used as an interim batcave while Wayne Manor was under reconstruction in the previous film).
