    From what I’ve heard, the reason that Knight’s version of the Origins suit has a different color scheme is because it’s based off the wrong skin. It’s based upon the unlockable “Dark Knight” skin that you obtain via completing the Dark Knight challenges in Origins.

    Honestly, I have a soft spot for the 1939 suit. What can I say? There’s something kind of cool about imagining Batman just going out in a basic cloth suit and still feeling confident enough to fight people with automatic rifles. Plus I kind of dig the purple highlights on his fists. I know at the time that was a necessity so that the ink wouldn’t blend his hands and his cape, I kind of like the idea of Batman having a little bit of color on the fist so it pops out on the design that little bit more to emphasize his strength

    • @gibsonisthename
      @gibsonisthename  6 місяців тому +2

      In a universe where Batman isn’t the brooding hero we know him to be all the time, the 1939 suit definitely could work but as we, or I, have come to understand the character now, it just is so far from anything that could ever see him wearing. It’s definitely a fun look for him straying away from what we know but batman definitely doesn’t usually have fun…like ever…

  • @primrose5031
    @primrose5031 Місяць тому +2

    11:33 the lore friendly explanation is that in Origins, Batman made the suit being bulky and heavily armored for protection at the expense of maneuverability, then as he got better at being Batman he made the Asylum/City suit less bulky with the expense of protection, then in Knight he made a suit with maneuverability and protection

    The 1939 suit would look a lot better if the cape was longer and blue on the inside like in the comics, has white eyes, and make the purple gloves black like in The Caped Crusader! I personally love the devil like horn bat ears. It's way more intimidating (Read Batman: The First Knight and you'll see what I mean) and it makes sense because it's more in a shape of a bat.

    Sick video! I've been getting back into the Arkham games trying to 100% them on Steam so this popped up on my feed and I really appreciate the effort and thought you put into this ranking. I could not agree more with your opinion on the Arkham Knight suit, it's truly my favorite iteration of Batman of all time. Arkham Batman, to me, is the best Batman has ever been portrayed in a piece of media, and that suit is just one of the reasons.
    I think the only place where I disagree is with the Origins suit, as truthfully I think the bulky look makes a lot of sense for Origins Batman. He doesn't yet have the tech to make the compact yet advanced armor we see in Knight, but also doesn't have the confidence and experience to operate with a less protective suit like he does in Asylum and City. The bulkiness and armor plating of the Origins suit seems like a logical tradeoff for a Batman that is brute forcing his way through all of his foes, and I think with the unique way that game's cutscenes are animated it works super well. I agree that it's not as good as the other game's main suits, but I think it contextually works.
    That also stems from the fact that I don't mind a bulkier Batman. The dude is supposed to be this inhumanly strong beast of a man, so it always made sense to me that he would be bulky. Doesn't mean he can't be athletic, and there's always Nightwing and Robin to look to as the more agile members of the Bat Family (and Barbara when she was still Batgirl).

    • @gibsonisthename

      And honestly you’ve probably explained the whole bulky look for the origins suit the best out of anyone else who’s commented before and I agree 100% contextually it makes sense but visually I’ve always gravitated towards a mix of being big enough to be intimidating but not so big to where it looks like he can’t be mobile still
