Ever since the first game launched back in 2009, one thing has been made perfectly clear: the Batman: Arkham games are a love letter to the Caped Crusader. Aside from a few early side scrollers, most of Batman's video game adventures were some of the worst ever released. Batman: Arkham Asylum changed that, and since then, the Dark Knight has finally gotten the treatment he deserves.
One of the reasons that fans have embraced the games (other than the fact that they're amazing) is because of the attention to detail. Sure, Rocksteady could have stopped once they finished making an awesome game, but instead, they littered the world with secrets and references to the rest of the Dark Knight's lore. It makes the world feel fleshed out, even if the stories themselves are relatively self-contained.
The Batman: Arkham series has hundreds of these secrets and Easter eggs lying around, so narrowing it down to only 10 across the three games was next to impossible. Nevertheless, we did it - here are the Top 10 Batman: Arkham Easter eggs:
Arkham Origins
It's a classic:
During the game's final sequence in Blackgate Prison, the Joker can be heard singing "Jingle bells, Batman smells..." This is a reference to the first episode of Batman: The Animated Series, and an inmate can be found singing the same song in another section of the game (jump to 0:48 to see it).
Not yet ready for field testing:
While all of these Easter eggs are great, it's only a fraction of the secrets that the developers have hidden within their games. There are easily over a hundred Easter eggs strewn throughout the entire series - in this regard, the Batman: Arkham games are unlike any other.
Here's hoping that Batman: Arkham Knight has just as many secrets as the last three games!
Batman: Arkham Knight is scheduled to hit store shelves on June 23.
