10 Coolest Video Game Secrets Of 2022

10. Paying Tribute - Gotham Knights

Following up the Arkham series, Gotham Knights was always going to have its work cut out for it but you can’t deny that the developers did their best to show their love of the source material.

The game is chock-full of references to the DC Universe and the huge lineage of the Batman franchise as a whole. The gang’s Belfry hideout alone is fit to burst with references to the likes of Ace the Bat-Hound and the histories and relationships between many characters.

However, some of the best references are touching tributes to people outside of the stories themselves. In Gotham Hospital, players can come across a plaque for Neal Adams.

The name may not mean much to most gamers, but Adams is credited with some of Bats’ best adventures during the hero’s bronze age and even the creation of the Ras-Al-Ghul, who is a leading antagonist in this very adventure.

Similarly, in Old Gotham, there is a tribute to George Pérez, who also shaped the DC Universe. Most prominently, he co-created the New Teen Titans which included the character of Nightwing so, quite literally, Gotham Knights doesn’t exist without him.

It’s a loving homage to two legends who passed away earlier in 2022.
