10. References To The Arkham Games

Following on from those earlier rumours, as well as the fact the Batman: Arkham franchise can now rank itself alongside Batman: The Animated Series and Nolan's films when it comes to reverence and recognisability, and it looks as though Rocksteady's Superman game will take place in the Arkhamverse.

Fans of that series will already know that those games - after Arkham Origins and particularly in Arkham Knight - were very liberal with their references and Easter Eggs to the wider DC Universe. Lex Luthor even has a voice-message in Arkham Knight, one that revealed Lexcorp were attempting to buy out Wayne Enterprise's Applied Science's division which, as we all know, is where Batman's wonderful toys get made.

Whether or not that becomes a plot point that Rocksteady revisit is unclear, but references to the events of Origins, Asylum, City and Knight wouldn't go amiss. With Warner Bros. Montreal also said to be working on their own Batman game (tentatively titled Arkham Insurgency), fans can expect more world-building this time around as well.
