Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Insane Fan Theories That Would Go Down In History
6. Two Face & Penguin At War
Any player who tested their metal in Arkham City will know that Two Face and Penguin had less than an exemplary working relationship, and that their rivalry was one of the most potent in the mega prison as well. It's quite remarkable then that Scarecrow has found a way for the two to reconcile their grievances with the other - or is it? Rocksteady have illustrated previously that Batman's villains don't always get along, and an alliance as big as the one in Knight is bound to have its fair share of issues. It goes without saying then that Two Face and Penguin are probably going to end up coming to blows with each other, as Harvey's multiple personalities vie for control of the City whilst Cobblepot attempts to cash in on the ensuing chaos. Seeing the alliance implode as the story progresses would really twist the odds in Batman's favour, and offer a key turning point for a story that has mostly seen Bruce downtrodden and defeated for the better half of three years. It'd be perfect if Two Face and Penguin's rivalry was the catalyst that sparked its downfall.
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.
