Batman: Arkham Knight - Ranking All Costumes From Worst To Best
15. V8.04
Rocksteady
The newest toy in Batman's arsenal in Arkham Knight, the V8 is a marvel in gaming visual design. The suit's plates shift and flex, rain glistens and roles down the armour, and the cape ripples through the wind incredibly realistically.
But is it too much? I get that the theme of the game is 'Batman going to war' and engaging in a head-on assault against an entire army, but something about this one feels just a little bit too Iron Man like for my tastes. That said, the armour looks great on Bruce and makes seeing the actions he carries out all the more believable - it just doesn't feel 'Batman' enough.
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.
