5. New Gadgetry
Rocksteady really do know how to make some awesome toys, and Batman always seems to be packing the best of them. Unlike previous instances however, the developers appear to be remaining rather tight-lipped in regards to the functions of their newest additions to the Caped Crusader's arsenal. Featured in the new trailer but never really focussed on, Batman appears to be holding some form of folding rifle that can collapse into its stock. What it fires seems to be quite the mystery, but one thing's for certain - it looks pretty high-tech in nature, and may even have more than one function. Considering the fact that Lucius appears to be holding the same weapon in his brief segment of the trailer, it may be possible that this is one of Wayne Tech's newest pieces of military hardware. Either way, we cannot wait to see what RS end up packing into Bats' utility belt - the more gadgets the merrier!
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.
