Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Insane Fan Theories That Would Go Down In History
8. Arkham Knight And Cadmus
One of the more popular theories surrounding the true identity of the eponymous Arkham Knight - many Bat-fans seem to be under the impression that he is in fact a clone - moulded from the very same tissue of The Dark Knight himself. This wouldn't be the first time Bruce has had his DNA used against him in this way however. In the very popular Justice League: Unlimited, it was revealed that Terry McGinnis (who many will know as the Batman of Neo-Gotham) was a clone of Bruce's - made by Cadmus after Amanda Waller realised that a world without Batman would be a frightening one indeed. Though this has led to some sinister consequences with the Knight issuing a stark vendetta against the Caped Crusader, it wouldn't be the most unrealistic of theories to have come about since the game's announcement. Those who spent enough time in 2012's Harley Quinn's Revenge will already know that there were some carefully placed Cadmus posters around, so the fact their presence alone exists in the Arkhamverse gives great credence to the possibility of a clone storyline making it into Rocksteady's Batman finale.
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.
