1. Harley And The Monarch Theatre
The most intriguing element of the story so far yet barely glossed over, Harley's relationship with this specific theatre is equally parts tragic and horrific. The trailer shows Batman and Robin investigating a decrepit old theatre, and whilst the 'Orb' theatre is in the game as well, it looks far too clean to have an interior as murky as this locale's, which is more than likely the Monarch Theatre itself - a scene of great grief for both Harley and Bruce in the Arkhamverse canon. It would make perfect sense for Harley to have her finale here, alongside her puddin'. She was already truly distraught in the aftermath of City's events (as shown by the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC), and having time to dwell on the loss of her love (along with a failed pregnancy) could really make her a dangerous character in Knight. There aren't really that many locations in the Batman mythology that pack the emotional punch that the Monarch Theatre does, so if Harley is really there then players can expect a confrontation that will be both gripping and tragic in one.

Content Producer/Presenter
Ewan Paterson
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.
