Batman: Arkham Knight - Ranking All Costumes From Worst To Best
18. Batman Beyond
The costume made famous by Terry McGuinness in Batman Beyond, the suit has become both a fan-favourite and a staple of the Arkham series itself - featuring in every release since Arkham City.
Knight saw the costume get a complete overhaul however, adopting a military-esque look that borrows heavily from the title's eponymous antagonist's combat garb. It looks great in many respects, but the main problem is that it just looks way too over the top.
Most of the suit's elements work well, but the odd visor/cowl differentiation looks a tad out of place, since players can see Bruce's lip movements faintly underneath. It's a unique take on the outfit, but could've benefited from a little restraint during the design process.
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.
