Batman: Arkham Knight Batgirl DLC - 9 Big Things It Finally Gets Right

6. Other-Worldly Easter Eggs

You'd think with this being a prequel to Arkham Asylum that Montréal's sights would be firmly set to Batman and nothing else, but you'd be so wrong. Included within Knight's DLC is a hint to one of the Justice League's largest foes - the one and only Starro. Apparently a freak attraction to the once budding fairground, Starro is now confined to a water unit, though his psychic whisperings prove to be just as disconcerting as the dank environment the being is constrained in. It was a great little nod to the wider Arkhamverse as we know it, and only reinforces the belief that the series is moving beyond Gotham in the near future. Perhaps what's most interesting about Starro's appearance is that this may in fact be his first appearance on earth, as a poster located outside the main rig points to a 'freakshow' experience, with Starro's host being the unfortunate centre of attention.
Here's hoping Starro is set for another video game appearance in the near future - could it be in Superman?
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.
