===================================
Easter Egg Nr. 32: Batman Mythos - Part 1
In Batman: Arkham City there are several references to some of his less known villains, allies and even to television shows or writers who had established most of the basic elements of the Batman mythos.
JASON TODD
One of the most obvious references is Jason Todd, the second Robin brutally murdered by the Joker in the famous comic book story arc "A Death in the Family".
If you play as Robin in the challenge map "Joker's Funhouse", you can hear Joker asking "Didn't I kill you already?".
Another possible reference to Jason Todd can be found inside the Batcave.
Near the Batmobile you can see four tires, this could be a reference to his first encounter with Batman. Jason was in fact a young street orphan, and met the Dark Knight while attempting to steal the tires off the Batmobile.
THE VENTRILOQUIST
If you scan the GCPD Dispatch signal with the Cryptographic Sequencer you can hear one of the cops saying that Wesker has a police hostage.
This is a reference to Arnold Wesker, the Ventriloquist, who seems to use a new psychotic dummy (Scarface) for his crimes in Gotham City.
COSMO KRANK & "THE BATMAN"
In Arkham City there's a building called Krank & Co, apparently a toy factory which mainly deals with teddy bears. Inside the building you can find Bane, as a little reference to his teddy bear Osito (which is different from the Krank bears scattered throughout Arkham City).
The name Krank is a reference to Cosmo Krank the Toymaker, one of the villains created exclusively for the animated TV series "The Batman".
COMMISSIONER GORDON
In Arkham City, Commissioner Gordon makes a brief appearance at the end of the game, right before the credits. But not everyone knows that you can scan the radio for GCPD signal shortly after Wayne's arrest to hear him informing all officers to take arrests to GCPD instead of Arkham City.
CRAZY QUILT
Crazy Quilt is one of the most bizzarre villains of DC universe, a blind ex-painter who lead a double life as a master thief. He is briefly mentioned by some of the inmates when Batman is on the trail of the assassin.
BLÜDHAVEN
In Arkham City you can hear many thugs making references to Blüdhaven, the sister city of Gotham City, and where Nightwing (Dick Grayson, the first Robin) mainly operates.
PAUL DINI
Paul Dini is the producer and writer of Batman: The Animated Series, creator of Harley Quinn and writer of both Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.
His name is referenced in the game by Vicki Vale when Batman takes down the first two snipers on the "Dini Towers".
THE STACKED DECK
The Stacked Deck was a bar and pool hall in the Docks of Gotham and a hotspot for all kinds of criminals. It appears in several episodes of Batman: The Animated Series, and one episode of Batman Beyond.
HUNTRESS AND CREEPER
In an exclusive interview tape with Quincy Sharp and Vicki Vale, which can be unlocked by talking with both of them in the Church, Vicki Vale mentions Huntress and Creeper as allies of Batman in Gotham City.
Huntress is probably the Modern Age version in the Arkham-verse, Helena Bertinelli, who also had an important role in the story arc "No Man's Land" as Batgirl.
The Creeper is a superhero whose alter ego is Jack Ryder, the TV reporter who also appears in the game.
HUSH'S NECKLACE
In several places of Arkham City, mostly where there are surgical equipment like Hush's hideout and GCPD morgue, you can find a necklace.
This prop could be a little reference to Tommy Elliot's (Hush) green necklace belonged to his mother in the comics.
SHARK REPELLENT
In a recent interview with Sefton Hill, Game Director of Rocksteady Studios, it's revealed that Rocksteady originally planned to make a reference to the infamous Shark Repellent Bat-Spray, one of the weirdest gadgets made famous in a funny scene of the campy "Batman: The Movie" starring Adam West.
The reference was supposed to be inserted in the shark sequence inside the museum.
The idea was eventually scrapped, but there's still a little reference to the shark repellent. If Batman gets killed by the shark, you can read a funny Hint in the death screen.

9:15 - treasure this moment, Batman dying in a Batman Arkham Videos video, even if it was staged

[@spinozilla2421]

@that boi yeah the only time he ever been harmed was in Arkham origin multiplayer

[@music79075]

They put a LOT of love into this game

[@thestwinner680]

"They call him One Face now." Lol good old inmate comedy.

[@retrofil1]

[@dingles69]

At some point one of the thugs says "Your life ain't worth spit in here." Totally a nod to Tim Burton's Batman where Jack Palance's character says "Your life won't be worth spit!" to Nicholson. Love this game.

[@SILK97]

Ok the shark repellent for New Game Plus would have been hilarious 😂

[@ElectroNukeMods]

Wait... A green necklace? That belonged to his mother? His father died, but his mother lived? A crash? A man wanted to kill them? Holy sh*t... Hush's mother was Rose from Titanic.

[@darthvader7399]

LOL!!!!!

[@luciusjwz]

This game is soooo detailed

[@creepdotoh]

In Arkham Knight The Ventriloquist is said to be Peyton Riley, but in City and Asylum it's said to be Arnold Wesker, so either they retconned The Ventriloquist's identity, or there are two Ventriloquists in the Arkhamverse

[@Danthepest1]

I just assumed that Wesker died during protocol 10 and Peyton took up the role as the next Ventriloquist

[@toongrowner1]

well so it kinda was in the comics. Wesker was the first Ventriloquist but got killed, and Peyton Riley found Scareface and became the new Ventriloquist. heck I still have the comic that explains this story. SO yeah, technicly there are two.

[@spinozilla2421]

@@Danthepest1 he was never in arkahm city, the police call reference doing a crime outside, and it was very likely he was put in the GCPD or the asylum going by Gordons commands

[@JC-ky6mp]

Oh, they were referencing the Ventriloquist when they said Wesker. And here I thought Umbrella corp. was suddenly in the Batman cannon.

[@toongrowner1]

Kinda odd. Jack Ryder is at least mentioned in all 3 games and yet not a single appearance of the creeper. Who love to see how they would portray him in the game

[@CCbat33]

2:23 The ending to Arkham Asylum and City are from The Batman series... Does that means that the third game finale its hidden in one episode? O_o

[@randomnerd3402]

Waddya mean? Cause you might be onto something here.

[@LoroxMakevids]

So Batman having spare tires is immediately a reference to Jason Todd?

[@dannyhernandez265]

Most likely, since that's how Batman first met him.

[@LoroxMakevids]

danny hernandez By having spare tires?

[@LoroxMakevids]

danny hernandez I understand that Jason tried to steal the tires off of the Batmobile, but Batman having spare tires (which most car owners do) doesn't necessarily mean it's a reference to Jason Todd.

[@dannyhernandez265]

+Lorox Makevids yeah you're right. Only the devs know.

[@gabeparker4400]

Lorox Makevids EXTRA they would be in or under the car

[@daviderickerseyjr.817]

If You enter the GCPD building from the back entrance, enter at the first door on your right, and look to your left you see a wall with a bunch of papers tacked to it. Two of these papers reference "Prometheus", a lesser known batman villain. A third thing is a magazine. Aside from it being in Arkham Asylum, it mentions Bruce Wayne, the iceberg lounge, and a possible reference to the injustice league in the lower left-hand corner.

[@lucasalejaga1175]

Arkham City will hit it's 11th anniversary this year and this game never gets old and still legendary!!!

[@tnargtnarud]

Truly amazing on how much effort they put into this game. So many hints, easter eggs, and nostalgia.

[@lukevankleef4245]

I think the one with the tires is a bit of a stretch. They could just be spear tires.

[@avatarhawk1]

Joker: "Didn't I kill you already?" Robin: "Didn't you die already?"

[@TheSMLIFfilms]

Wait, so Jack Ryder was actually a superhero the entire time?

[@rodolfourive7944]

TheSMLIFfilms yeah the creeper isn’t really known that well, not even in the comic book community.

[@thekingofbboys3371]

@Cancer Itself185 well he probably is but doesn’t know it, as Quincy Sharp mentions him

[@Delete240]

@Cancer Itself185 in Arkham Asylum, Jack Ryder’s character bio confirms that the Creeper is in fact in the Arkhamverse

[@Delete240]

@Cancer Itself185 there’s also a direct reference to the Creeper in Arkham City, which was literally in this video. How’d you miss that?😂

[@juonlumyew8204]

lol the last one was my favourite easter egg mentioned:Use Batman's powerful shark repellent,a flurry of furious strikes

[@ViLynxe]

WTF if jack Ryder is a superhero why didnt he fight back in AC?

He also could be Azrael from the Knightfall story arc. John Paul Valley, Azrael, was a cop, didn't know his mother, saw his father shot to death, admired Batman. All of these fit into both Blake and Jean Paul Valley's back stories.

I love how the game says that the Falcone family went for the "relative safety of Bludhaven". Good luck! I'm thinking a DLC adventure where you stop some major sinister Falcone family plot as Nightwing?

Well you were damn right

[@Malicious_Hero]

Two I havent seen so far in these videos are: One is near the theater, you can see a poster for "The Terror", which is Basil Karlos biggest movie, where he played the monster of the movie, also named "Clayface" The other is (i think) near the iceberg lounge, there is a puppet store, and the stores mascot seems to be Scarface minus the scar. Or atleast the same make of puppet.

[@ArcadeBot]

Great video, great easter eggs of a great videogame

[@aidenm.5124]

The clearest reference to the Ventriloquist is that Scarface (or a resembling puppet) is in Penguin’s museum, but I guess it can be considered a whole different reference entirely.

[@jasonw3414]

always wondered about that shark repellant one. first time i got to it in the game i said something like "too bad i left the shark repellant at the batcave!" lol

[@DaSupapwna]

Wow, all this time I never knew that nightwing came BEFORE robin. The more you know ^^

[@unscripted3575]

Nightwing WAS robin, he was the first one, Batman wanted him to be Batman, but he declined and wanted to take his own hero identity.

[@allenpayad6428]

***** batmans becoming lazy!

[@unscripted3575]

Allen Payad lol!

[@wesleywiggins958]

Unscripted Bruce never wanted Nightwing to be Batman, Grayson wanted to be on his own.

[@Sil3ntKn1ght]

Also the Batarangs used by Batman in The Batman look very similar to the one that you use, even more for the Remote Controlled Batarangs

[@MrJedabak]

6:51 Sorry, but that looked more like an homage to Lord of the Rings to me.

Seeing Adam West's Batman edited into the same type of style as the Arkham City concept art was the most epic thing I ever saw.

[@carlychristianson]

I FOUND THE NECKLACE! Before I saw this, I was playing the game and saw the necklace. I thought it was an Easter egg, but I left it alone because I couldn't find anything on it.

[@Sil3ntKn1ght]

Actually Nightwing did take up the Batman mantle for a short period of time so it should be 1st Robin=Nightwing & Batman 2nd Robin=The Red Hood 3rd Robin=Red Robin

[@SmirkyTrick]

I heard about how there are 3 or 4 easter eggs that haven't been discovered yet. And I think I may have found one. On the cotwoman DLC, the very first time you play as her, you beat up the henchmen but before you go to crack the safe, go by the window that catwoman came in from, and to your right there will be a calender that says Feb. 15 (any connections?) & to the left is a map of a building, & a record player. I'm not sure if that has relevance or not, that's why I'm commenting here.

[@Grimrepaerdude7]

For Jason Todd they make small references to him in Arkham Asylum when joker says u need a new side kick and the makes references to the old robin suit and they make references here to him again so i think Jason Todd is in this universe since tim drake wheres a different robin suit than jason and dick grayson

[@neophenom]

Why would anyone dislike this video? High Quality, and great info, what's not to like?

[@lpcdbwaterlp]

There are five Robins. Dick Grayson, who became Nightwing. Jason Todd, who died at the hands of Joker and came back to life and became Red Hood. Tim Drake, who became Red Robin. Stephanie Brown, who became Batgirl. And the current Robin, Damian Wayne.

[@Jeffersonia120]

After you hear Gordon at the beginning of the game, if you move over to the GothamFM station, you can hear Vicki Vale do a "Breaking News" story on Bruce Wayne getting captured

[@DeathGodRiku]

correction: Thomas Wayne saved Tommy's mom but not the dad. It wasn't greed that drove tommy to try to murder his parents, he just hated them. He was about 8 when it happened.

[@nvvn94]

Tim wasn't an orphane, in fact, when bruce is no longer batman due to bane breaking batman's back, he goes to a mission looking for Shondra and Jack Drake, Tim's father
