Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Perfect Ways To Kill Batman
9. Saving His Allies
Hinted at in the exemplary 'All Who Follow You' trailer - there's a pretty big chance that Bats may go out swinging to save the life of a loved one - a move that's bound to pack a punch with a lot of emotional weight. It's not as if Scarecrow has to struggle to find targets. In Knight alone Batman has Nightwing, Robin, Oracle, Commissioner Gordon, Alfred and even Azrael by his side - all potential targets that could fall victim to the crosshairs of Scarecrow and his rather fragile alliance of rogues. Though it's too difficult to suggest accurately who will get offed in Knight's story, a move by Batman to save the life of any of his allies has a high chance of leading to a fatality - ally or not. Either way, a decision this dramatic is bound to have players reaching for their tissue box sooner rather than later.
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.
