Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Ways The Season Of Infamy Is A Mixed Bag

9. Mad Hatter's Final Sequence Innovated

Ignoring the abysmal set-up and monotonous missions that led to this moment, Mad Hatter's finale was actually used to convey Arkham's legacy in an inventive manner. Transporting Batman to a miniature pop-up book, Bruce is charged with having to fight his way through Rocksteady's trilogy and rescue the officers trapped there as well. As far as freeflow encounters go it wasn't anything particularly special, but seeing old Joker thugs from Arkham Asylum appear on screen as well as the Tyger Guards from Arkham City served as a great way of rekindling nostalgia for the series' roots. Whilst the final fight didn't vindicate the Hatter's presence on the DLC (I'd have much rather seen another rogue get the spotlight for a change), it did display Rocksteady's visual flare quite immaculately - it's just a shame the side-mission as a whole was so dull.
Content Producer/Presenter

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.
