Batman: Arkham Asylum - 10 Coolest Easter Eggs, Secrets And References Explained

10. Thomas Elliot Working The Arkham Night Shift

Batman Arkham Asylum Hush

Long before he was revealed as the Identity Thief in Arkham City, and even longer before he enacted his (admittedly anti-climactic) scheme in Arkham Knight, Dr. Thomas Elliot - better known as Hush, to the heroes and villains of Gotham - was busy working in Arkham Asylum.

This particular easter egg doubles as a riddle, which can be found as Batman rescues Dr. Chen in the Asylum's Medical Facility. Elliot's schedule has him working long into the early hours of the morning, although one can imagine that wasn't all that he was doing.

Elliot's Arkhamverse origin was fleshed out further in Arkham City and Knight, and he can even be seen in the church clutching a medical box - presumably containing the faces of his victims used to piece together his new face.

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.
