Batman: Arkham Knight - Ranking All Costumes From Worst To Best
19. Justice League: 3000
Another costume to fare poorly in its page to screen transition, the Justice League: 3000 suit never quite managed to captivate audiences the same way its other futuristic counterpart - Batman Beyond - could.
This is a shame since when I first saw the 3000 suit on page, it looked fantastic. The costume itself has a black and red design highly reminiscent of Alex Ross's 60s-inspired Batmobile batsuit, but with a more muted colour pallet. It looks futuristic, but it's anything but the giant stripy-mess that the Knight interpretation is.
As you can see, there's much less red on this suit than there is in the game's. Had Rocksteady stuck to the design of the comic it would have probably been placed higher, but the big garish neon strip down the suit's chest places it way on the opposite end of the scale.
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.
