4. Constantine, The Flash, And The Wider DC Universe

Arkham Knight's rendition of Gotham may include a buttload of references to iconic characters from Batman's history, but it also ventures into the far corners of the DC universe as well.

Hidden within Rocksteady's recreation of Gotham are references to The Flash (a cell for Gorilla Grodd can be spotted in the Season of Infamy DLC), John Constantine (a Gotham storefront bearing his name can be seen in game), Green Arrow (Queen Industries has a presence in Miagani Island) and Wonder Woman, whose symbol can also be seen in the open world.

Cooler still, if players go to Oracle's clocktower, they'll also be able to spot some correspondence between her and Huntress, a fellow member of the Birds of Prey.

Rocksteady are finally set to deliver on these nods to the wider DCU in the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, which will pit Task Force X against an evil Superman and (assumedly) his other brainwashed cohorts.

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.
