Atlas has created over a dozen different iterations of Batman's costume, each influenced by a specific country. In Atlas' first TikTok slideshow depicting the concept, an extremely basic United States of America features the nation's stars and stripes on Batman's chest. And, for good measure, America's flag is used as the cape. It's a simple but fun costume reminiscent of Captain America. Atlas thinks this design is a 7/10.
So, what's a 10/10? A Batman from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which is the last slide in the first TikTok. A Middle Eastern country with a rich Islamic history, Batman's suit is influenced by its aesthetic and culture. Wearing a hood (most of the costume is a cloth worn over armor) with a traditional design embossed in gold, Saudi Arabian Batman looks regal and majestic, almost as if he's a prince. The character's iconic Bat symbol also receives the gold treatment, with an eye-catching design that marries Batman's logo with Saudi Arabian artistry.
Another major highlight in Atlas' project is the Poland-influenced Batman suit, which they gave a 10/10. The costume directly takes cues from Poland's rich history with warriors, presumably Teutonic knights. The Batman costume, featured in the second slideshow, shows the character's suit in the country's red and white colors, with the Bat symbol replaced with Poland's coat of arms. However, that same slideshow has a dud in the form of a U.K. Batman. In that very English image, Batman is wearing a tophat.
