Batman: Arkham Knight - Ranking All Costumes From Worst To Best
6. 1989 Burton
Tim Burton's Batman still remains as one of the best-loved versions of the character, which isn't really a surprise considering just how critically and commercially well received the film was when it was first released. It's taken some criticism from Bat-fans since, but its significance on the character's lore really can't be understated.
Indeed, the 1989 pack that came with the title's season pass was one of its only highlights, as players finally got the chance to relive Michael Keeton's days under the cowl and ride around in the '89 Batmobile - which also just so happens to be the best live-action version of the car yet.
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.
