Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Insane Fan Theories That Would Go Down In History
5. Hush As The Real Enemy
Despite being one of Batman's newest additions to his gallery of rogues, Dr. Thomas Elliott has really proven his worth as a formidable foe of the world's greatest detective - having taken part in some amazing storylines involving the premise of him having stolen Bruce Wayne's identity - a plot element brought in during Arkham City as well. Indeed, it wouldn't be too outlandish to suggest that Elliott is the true architect of Knight's proceedings, having already orchestrated a mass alliance of rogues in his self-titled comics début. Rocksteady themselves also appear to have a fondness for incorporating plot twists into the Arkham series so far, and Hush is definitely best poised to unite the rogues in a way Scarecrow simply can't. Bruce's identity is ripe for manipulation in Knight's events, with the billionaire philanthropist having started his campaign to run as Mayor for Gotham City already in full swing. In the result of a political victory Hush could command far more influence as Bruce than once thought - going to great lengths to ruin the Wayne family's name in the process. It's not often Bruce gets targeted, so making him vulnerable in Knight would really add tension to a plot that's already gearing up to be one of the wildest Batman tales yet.
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.
