6. Batman: Arkham Origins Sequel

Like it or not, there's not a chance in Hell that Warner Bros. will part with the Arkham brand. Not now, not tomorrow - probably not ever if the publisher gets their way. If you like Batman, then yay, that's great, feel free to knock yourself out. But for many, myself included, who think the detective's adventures are beginning to wear a little thin, the prospect of another Arkham entry isn't all that appealing.

I say this despite the fact that, unlike what many others believed, I very much enjoyed Arkham Origins. Sure, it had its shortcomings, but was it at all deserving of that ridiculous critical backlash?

Of course not. In fact, at the risk of upsetting the purists amongst you, I'd go as far to say it was the best Arkham title yet. I know, how horrific.

Whatever your opinion on the old 'Montreal V Rocksteady' debate, it's obvious that there's more Arkham on the way.

Heck, given just how much Rocksteady love their Easter Eggs, it wouldn't be at all disingenuous to assume there'll be some ambiguous speculative claptrap to get invested in Arkham VR.

It may be short of a fully fledged announcement, but Warner's Montreal studio have been working on something for the better half of three years now; the thought of them sitting on it for much longer doesn't seem at all logical or conducive to the publisher's financial stratagem.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. 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.
