One of the biggest question that'll always divide Bat-fans straight down the middle (apart from how long the ears should be - it's short, btw), is what colour the character looks best in. We've seen variations of black, grey and blue, and it's all punctuated by the symbol on his chest.
For the past two decades, the plain old black symbol has been the standard uniform of the Dark Knight, while the years before saw him adopt a yellow crescent to fall behind the bat. It marked a comeback in Batman Inc., in a suit designed by David Finch, and it proceeded to last a grand total of a year before falling to the wayside in the New 52.
The Inc. suit is the best of both worlds, marrying the darker coloured Batsuits of the modern age with the classic vibrancy of the character's older comics. It was the perfect union, possessed symbolic value in terms of Batman's mission coming out of the shadows, and just looked the part in general.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
