Superhero costumes have officially reached a whole other level with these amazing medieval renditions of Batman and Aquaman.

Created by cosplayer extraordinaire Samuel Lee, these superhero costumes integrate both the best parts of each hero's modern designs with the slickest parts of [medieval armor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enchanter-merlin). A closer look at the Batman costume in particular makes him look like a villain right out of the Skyrim video game. Perhaps the coolest part is the bat logo on the hilt of the broad sword that medieval Batman is wielding.

If you want a [medieval superhero costume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/teenage-engineering-ep1320-medieval) to call your own, Lee (known as Azmal on DeviantART), takes commissions. Pricing and time frames are on a case by case basis, but what could be more worth the wait than being able to walk down the street in the most intimidating Batman costume ever?
