Arkham City was where the Arkhamverse really began to open its doors to the wider DCU, and Arkham Origins followed that precedent with equal enthusiasm.

The game features a multitude of nods and references to the world outside Gotham all over. Shipping containers for Queen Industries can be found in Penguin's moored ship, the Final Offer (an obvious reference to Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow); a billboard advertising Ferris Aircraft is also visible (a nod to onetime love interest turned Green Lantern villain Carol Ferris, aka Star Sapphire); while the environment also features nods to characters and properties related to Wonder Woman, Booster Gold, and the Flash.

Arkham Knight also laid on the DCU references thick and fast, but only time will tell if either Montreal or Rocksteady will deliver on them with their newest titles, both of which are rumoured to take place in a whole new DC games universe.
