Miles may not actually appear in the DLC (so make due with this delightful shot of Spidey enjoying a double pepperoni), but he does share two important phone calls with Peter at various points in the story. It's clear that he wants to be the next Spider-Man, requesting that Pete "train him" - a request he's understandably reluctant to indulge.

What makes these two conversations so great, really, is that it shows Insomniac have a clear journey in mind for this universe. It would've been relatively easy for them to have just retroactively inserted a Black Cat storyline into the main game's narrative, but instead, we've got a genuine follow up that expands some elements from the story's ending in a genuinely worthwhile manner.

We've already theorised what Spider-Man 2 may include, but with teases for that title coming thick and fast in the first wave of DLC, it could be possible that we see more of these elements sooner than we originally anticipated.
