9. Proper Alternative Batmobiles
Bat-Fans everywhere were left pretty disappointed by the reveal of the supposed '60s Batmobile' that made its way into Knight's exclusive PlayStation content, and for good cause too. The 'redesign' amounted to little more than a few carefully positioned red lines and highlights on the basic Batmobile design - which, for lack of a better word, felt quite lazy. Rocksteady appear to be hinting at a remedy to this situation however, as the information provided for the season pass directly hints at players being given the ability to "drive the most iconic Batmobiles from Batmans 75-year history". Given the lukewarm reception the re-skins of the Batmobile have seen so far, it'd only make sense to give the fans what they want and include full remodels of The Dark Knight's many vehicles. It's not as if Rocksteady are starved for inspiration in this area either, as Bats has driven a gargantuan selection of Batmobiles since he first graced the pages of Detective Comics all those years ago, each with their own unique flare and style. Considering the routes of the Arkham series are very much inspired by the much adored Batman: The Animated Series, that Batmobile alone more than deserves a place in the Arkhamverse.

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.
