7. The Trojan Horse
In the second part of Rocksteady's released gameplay previews, fans were given a big treat of seeing the newly redesigned Poison Ivy take to the streets with some extremely sassy dialogue, but it was pretty clear that something wasn't as it seemed. Ivy's relatively easy capture was one that was out of character for the self-proclaimed defender of Mother Nature, and though it's apparent she's supposedly on the run from the Arkham Knight's forces, there's a fairly big possibility that she's actually in cahoots with the fearsome Dr. Crane after all. This theory certainly holds the most weight out of all the others. Not only would Ivy's Trojan Horse like assault on the GCPD be a great turn of events for Knight's plot, it would add some much needed tension of placing Gordon and the rest of the GCPD right in the firing line of the all-out war engulfing Gotham City. Ivy's loyalties could be with anyone, but this betrayal more than any would benefit the story the most.
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.
