4. Wait... George Clooney's In This?

People might balk at this, but genuinely, George Clooney should've been an AMAZING Batman. He'd knock it out of the park as Bruce Wayne any day of the week. Just a shame that, y'know, his one Bat-film had to involve nipple armour and a rampaging Arnie as cold, quiet, Mister Freeze.

But I digress, because even while audiences continue to remonstrate on the failings of Clooney's Dark Knight, Rocksteady (like the champs they are), chose to reference the actor in Arkham Asylum.

After rescuing Aaron Cash and another doctor from being trapped by Joker gas, a message will display on a nearby noticeboard that reads "Dr. Clooney to Gynecology." This acknowledges Clooney's performance as the eponymous character in 1997's Batman & Robin, but also his breakout role on ER, where he played Dr. Doug Ross for five years.
