3. The Flash
The more aware of Flash fans will already know that a game was in development a long time ago, but for one reason or another it ceased to be before it could ever progress far into development. It may not have looked particularly impressive in its leaked footage, but it certainly had all the pillars in place to make a worthy game based on the scarlet speedster. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrtwUQXuSXY Peppered throughout Knight were an abundance of references to Keystone City, aka one of the Flash's most beloved stomping grounds. Out of the many characters to have accessed the speed-force only Jay Garrick and Wally West called Keystone their home, so considering the popularity of the latter it wouldn't be hard to assume that Rocksteady have their eyes on working with Wally in some capacity. Of course Barry Allen appears to be the 'go to' Flash at the moment, but that doesn't necessarily mean that Rocksteady are restricted to him alone. Indeed, the entire Flash family could be at our fingertips if the Arkham devs felt it was appropriate. Combine that with fast, fluid gameplay and you could have a superhero game that really innovates the market for the better - just as long as completion time isn't as speedy as its namesake.
Content Producer/Presenter
Ewan Paterson
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.
