Batman: Arkham Knight - Ranking All Costumes From Worst To Best
17. Noël Suit
Lee Bermejo is one of the comic book industry's greatest talents at the moment, creating some truly remarkable artwork that speaks more for the gothic nature of Batman than anyone else in DC's lineup.
This natural affinity for the character developed into Bermejo's own christmas carol-themed original graphic novel, Batman: Noël, which saw a surly Scrooge-y Batman adopt a new costume for the Christmas theme. This is the second appearance of the suit in the Arkham series, having previously been featured in 2013's Arkham Origins.
It looked great in the heavy snowfall of the prequel's version of Gotham, but something about the uber-realistic nature of Knight's design means its lost some of its visual appeal. Not that it doesn't look great - it does - it's just that some art-styles translate better than others.
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.
