Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Insane Fan Theories That Would Go Down In History

The best the community has to offer.

by Ewan Paterson

Well it€™s June 2015 and Arkham Knight is almost upon us. The journey to Rocksteady€™s magnum opus to the Arkhamverse hasn€™t always been an easy one, but the community has always been there to partake in some absolutely amazing ideas €“ ideas that would fit perfectly into the Arkhamverse lore. Considering the fact that Rocksteady have been incredibly secretive around the details surrounding Knight€™s plot, fan speculation has been a little more€colourful, than usual. However, this is definitely a good thing. Bat-fans are among the most passionate of comic book enthusiasts out there, and a bad idea - though most certainly woeful - is much harder to come by than one that would actually work very well in the finale to the Arkham trilogy. As is pretty obvious, the key point of discussion regarding the release has been about the true identity of the Arkham Knight, but fans have been getting pretty creative with everything from theories for potential Scarecrow nightmares, to ways in which the plot might unfold. Indeed, these theories are a testament to the creativity of which fans exude at times like these, and it€™d be a great shame if Knight wasn€™t able to match or even surpass some of the best the community has offered up so far.

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.
