In the Harley Quinn DLC in Arkham City there's a sign of Project Cadmus, the creators of Superboy. Which means that somehow they obtained Superman DNA.
So mad at myself for forgetting that haha
This also means that far in the future Amanda Waller will alter someone's reproductive materials for project batman beyond
@@GothamPaladin That was probely hinting at Superboy
@@loonytunescrazy no shit they just said that
@@Cl0wnGuy My fault for not reading all of it
I love the idea that throughout the entire of Arkham Knight Superman has just been asleep. Like he wakes up in the morning and finds out one of his best friends was unmasked and died while he was enjoying forty winks.
Jimmy’s dead?
@@mrmrkeeper lol
U know what I mean.
@@lord_egg yes but I can’t miss the opportunity of a lifetime
I mean it’s honestly probably the most likely explanation 🤷♂️
@@mrmrkeeperafter ssktjl yeah. Supes kills him
I assume superman is just hovering over Gotham just waiting for Bruce to reluctantly whisper "Clark.." as a last resort so he can swoop in at breakneck speeds
Thats something I would do if I was Superman. Always keep an ear out for the homie.
@@ezekielsparadise4633you’re a good friend
That made me think of the Eyezayar
Bruce its been 5 years you still owe me 16 dollars meme
It’s actually kinda funny because as a former Robin, Arkham knight obviously knew and met the justice league, so him using bombs to discourage “outside intervention” was basically a direct jab at the rest of the league
That's exactly the reason why he publicly broadcasted his message about the bombs that way no one outside of Gotham would intervene
It makes a lot of sense now tbh
The Arkhamverse is my favorite DC universe. I hope they expand it more. But first I thought it was a mistake putting alien and mystic characters in that universe, however I‘m looking forward to the new game
Yeah I wish it was more of a sec contained thing where it wasn’t expanded on. I liked having the subtle references to other heroes but having them in their own cities in the arkhamverse. Still not sure how I feel about them expanding the universe but I hope they do a god job of it.
Tbf tho the Batman games have been very fantastical I wouldn’t of second guessed there being a Superman or flash and such also the suicide squad movie that did a good job with different non Batman characters
I mean in the very first game we see a monster like killer croc, poison Ivy who controls plants, bane, etc so it’s not like it was too grounded in the first place
@@YoungYahtz94not to mention the Lazarus pits throughout the games.
the new game?
"Superman is off world" is probably the excuse cuz the writers know if he was there Jason would've been saved day 1, the AK fear toxin would've been literally blown away and all Arkham criminals would be back in cells before they knew what happened
Super man doesn’t interfere In Batman’s job 😂😂😂
You're forgetting the rule all capes follow. Unless another Supe asks for your help, you don't get involved. Superheroes have existed long enough to create this rule specifically to stop another hero from accidentally getting in the way or making things worse by getting hurt or mind controlled
If their relationship is anything like the comics than Superman wholeheartedly believed Batman would win
I wanna know what the hell the whole JL were doing this whole time
Eating shawrama
Probably dealing with Despero,Darkseid,time trapper,or any other type of "would be" ruler
@@cruxwraithbut surely they’d deal with someone who killed the Batman?
They weren't needed
@@cruxwraithwell the whole east coast of the U.S was at threat, seems like a big problem to me
I’m 100% just gonna believe he’s just been chilling in Metropolis waiting for Bruce to call him for help. He probably completely believes that Bruce will win and is just letting him do it himself out of respect
Right Batman works alone he hates help! If he would’ve just called for him, he most definitely would help Bruce.
Its honestly a shame that the Superman game was canceled
no
@@mrbobb1610yes
@@mrbobb1610 why no?
@@hotguyinyourarea7469 i meant yes
@@mrbobb1610 kk :)
Also do y’all remember when scarecrow said in Arkham Knight Batman can’t get any outside help from his friends or Gotham will blow up.
I always thought it would have been so great if Superman had a brief cameo in Arkham knight asking if he could help out somehow
a missed opportunity
Yeaaah like a call from Clark or something
@@altalia07 as much as i love playing arkham knight it does suffer from bad writing
I pray that one day we get a Superman game where we slowly get stronger and get new powers as time goes on.
As in obtain each Superman power through some things you pick up? Superman 64 did that, and failed.
@@theonlyethanhiroshikinah more like each part is him along his superhero journey
Something similar to the my adventures with superman show, which basically walks us through superman discovering his powers. Plus the fights in the show are pretty equal so maybe a superman game isn’t that hard to balance after all.
Something similar to the my adventures with superman show, which basically walks us through superman discovering his powers. Plus the fights in the show are pretty equal so maybe a superman game isn’t that hard to balance after all.
Something like in Return of Superman, he does slowly get stronger after a near fatal injury
I would love to see a Superman game set in the Arkhamverse
We were supposed to get a Superman game from Rocksteady but WB wanted them to make Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League
@@dboii9741apparently they got decently far into development but that’s just a rumour. Maybe when kill the justice league is out they will go back to it?
Can’t believe we got a suicide squad game before a Superman game
I think he didn't help in Arkham Knight because of the bombs, or trust that batman could handle it. But I L O V E the idea that he was just asleep lmfao
I think the thought process the creators of these games have is insane. The amount of lore (that your videos awesomely point out) is so persistent and amazing. I can’t wait to what we get out of this next game!
Superman doesn't just patrol Metropolis either, other than the deep oceans, Kahndaq, Themyscira, Gotham and a couple of other territories he patrols the entire globe. Sometimes even off of Earth. So it's just likely Clark was too busy doing whatever somewhere else and knew the Bat family can usually handle things. Plus the Arkhamverses Batman seems a bit more in line with Frank Millers Dark Knight, just more stubborn to work alone. He wouldn't want help with Superman because he knows Clark can just save the day without much of an issue. If he isn't able to, I agree with your statement earlier in the video, an out of control Superman is the last thing Gotham needs flying about. Bruce probably had a conversation about it with Clark and told him that unless he specifically asks Clark for help, just don't bother trying to save him. It could be a scenario where Clark would arrive too late and fall right into a trap, without Batman there to stop him if anything happened to Superman.
Plus Batman has told Supes he can handle it and probably didn't want Scarecrow to mess with him
@@JermaineLal You obviously haven't read Batman comics in a while. Everything you just said is inaccurate.
What the hell are you talking about? If you're referring to Batman comics, Bruce Wayne/Batman only patrols Gotham City.
Because, and this is the case in the comics too, the justice league understands that Batman is effective and can deal with whatever’s happening on his own
I wish bruce just says "ive got it handled" randomly at one point in the game and everyone looks at him crazy
I can totally see Rocksteady make Batman playable in Suicide Squad. That would be so perfect. You get to play as Conroy's Bats one last time and you have to hunt down these characters that you have been playing as this whole time, thus keeping accurate to Batman's skills.
I'm sorry
@@keithharrissuwignjo2460 lol yeah. My dreams were to hopeful for this dumpster fire lol
Q: Where was Superman during the events of Arkham?
A: In Metropolis. Why would he be anywhere else? Superman rarely comes to Gotham or any other city unless one of his villains goes there like Lex Luthor. Why would he go to Arkham when he knows one of the most capable heroes and his family have it under control. Batman even hinted that he doesn't like him coming to *his* city unannounced. Superman mostly fights in Metropolis or for a world ending threat like Darkseid neither of which are in Gotham.
No, he goes everywhere even if metropolis is safe he's off saving people.
@@andrewbell6561 Depending on the writer sometimes he leaves Metrapolis but as a general rule Superman stays in his home town in most iterations
@@TotalTech2. no, it's been shown multiple times that he's a International hero. Even in the start of rebirth, he leaves his City so yes he'll be in metropolis but he does leave it when he isn't needed.
@@andrewbell6561 In the black and white Superman cartoon he mostly stayed in Metropolis
In Superman TAS he mostly stayed in Metropolis
In the Golden Age comics he mostly stayed
in Metropolis
In the Silver Age comics he mostly stayed in Metropolis
In the Movies he mostly stayed in Metropolis
In the news paper shorts he mostly stayed in Metropolis
In the show Smallville he mostly stayed in Metropolis
I'm not saying he never leaves but that's where most of his adventures take place.
Same thing with Batman. Batman has left Gotham before but he is primary a Gotham hero
@@TotalTech2. yeah that's the thing in most other incarcerations, yes but now no they've changed it and he's more of an international hero so it doesn't work for every version of him.
I really do think that bruce just didnt wanted to ask for help from his friends to help him solve HIS problems. Which in this case, from superman neither, just like in the comics.
The Arkham games show how much Batman prefers to work alone... Almost every time Robin or Nightwing suggest they help Batman turns them down even though the night would be made much easier with it.
in my mind i think batman always comes before superman by anywhere between 2 and 6 years so in the time before superman is established as a hero and still scares the world, i'd love to see a companion game of batman vs superman
That never makes sense since Clark and Bruce are usually the same age so it wouldn't make sense for Clark to start way later especially since Bruce usually begins being batman between 21 to 25 so Clark coming before him makes sense
@@ultra_2099 i like the idea of batman being used to being a protector of gotham with no powers and becoming experienced in crime fighting and then superman shows up, besides if superman shows up at 22 the oldest batman will be based on what i said is 28 so its not completely out of the woods
@@seth4987 yeah it's one of the main reasons Clark and Bruce are the leaders of the League is because they began to be heroes before most of the League
@@ultra_2099THIS. I hate when they make Superman start later like some inexperienced rookie. Literally just more batmeatriding.
The Real Reason Why no one Showed during Arkham knight is because Scarecrow already said on the comms that if someone entered Gotham, he would blow the whole city.
The bomb’s payload is exposed. I can use the power winch to trigger a controlled explosion.
WWWW
I might be wrong but if I remember right scarecrow broadcasted at the beginning of the game saying and interference from outside Gotham would lead him to exploding the bombs that he had planted meaning if Superman tried to intervene Gotham would blow up
He did
Pretty sure he was bluffing
So, an idea I had was that maybe the Injustice games partially take place in the same universe. In the first Injustice game, there's a good universe where Superman never turns evil. What if that's the Arkham-verse? The events could take place shortly before the first Arkham game.
So in one day you found out that the multiverse is indeed real and also a counterpart of your best friend become a dictator because of the actions of your archenemy when he realised he can’t break you. Needless to say but that would explain why Batman is distanting himself, plus we seen this behaviour already in Arkham Knight by keeping Night-wing at arms length after Arkham VR
U know that be a good multiverse throry I could see that as injustice Batman does wear a suit somewhat like the one he wore vs superman
Batman knew and was in the Justice League the whole time throughout most the Arkham games? Deadshot was an impostor the whole time? King Shark is miraculously alive again? Bruce is just seemingly back as his normal Batman self after all that build up and mystery in Arkham Knight? These retcons really worry me for Suicide Squad: KTJ's story and it doesn't help that the gameplay looks like a big step down from the Arkham games...🤧
King shark died?
@cheesemonker6950 yes, in the animated film Batman: Assault on Arkham which was confirmed canon, but now, seems like they're retconning that it's not.
Hey bro your the best CZcamsr this is the earliest I've ever been
Batman is territorial and Superman knows Bats can handle anything Gotham throws at him.
If that's not enough for you then we can just say Superman was offworld at the time. - That's where the Avengers were during Insomniac Spider-Man.
Okay so let’s say in another timeline where Bruce was killed during the events of Arkham knight right like near the end let’s say scarecrow didn’t care about his identity and just killed him off so you think Superman would come in and save his city or let it burn since robin was captured and nightwing was heading back to his hometown and red hood was too late. This is what’s so stupid about having Easter eggs to other hero’s during this time period like where is Superman or flash since both have super speed and could just take out the bombs.
@@ajthejedi2958 I really doubt Superman or any other heroes would be following the situation that closely. They probably wouldn't hear about Batman dying until it was too late.
@@Toastfreak yea that’s why I don’t like that they mentioned that Superman exists because if he did then he would at least be on the look out if anything happens like in that one story where batman fail safe for himself goes rogue after Batman and robin nearly die who shows up first Superman to save his best buddy then Superman fights the robot while Batman calls in the league for backup. oh Superman wouldn’t do that yes he would him and Bruce have each others back always and if the whole city is at risk I don’t think Superman would let that slide only reason we know he didn’t show up is because he knew Bruce could handle things but near the end bruce could have died and if he did who gonna save Gotham robin already captured Gordon is as well batgirl is crippled nightwing is heading back to his city red hood might try but he will die trying I am just trying to say if they didn’t mention anyone else from the league none of these questions were gonna be asked but they are
@@Toastfreak the other members of the league not showing up makes sense since none of them are as close with Bruce but Clark and him are like brothers so him not showing up or not being in the epilogue you know where Bruce identity is shown to the whole world is just a plot whole
@@ajthejedi2958 My only nitpick from here is that Robin called the League to help with failsafe and Superman just arrived first so he wasn't on lookout at all.
Great video ! I still hope one day we get an Arkham esque Superman game in the same universe
The thing I loved about Batman Arkham Knight I loved about it. It was so many Easter eggs in the game just had to pay attention!
Well the suicide squad revealed that Bruce joined the league a few years after Arkham knight events
Great video bro 👍
So Batman gets four games which makes since because it’s his universe
The suicide squad get a game in that universe
But nobody else gets a game
The literally made multiple references to Superman and flash in arkham knight
Give Superman a game
They should make a Green Arrow spinoff that takes place in the Arkhamverse.
Green arrow is also another heavily referenced hero. They could at least give is that if they can give us superman.
@@mrbobb1610 that could work
@@cruxwraithSuperman isn't that hard of a character to get right in a video game tho
@@cruxwraithYou keep bringing up a 24 year old game while also underestimating the technology that we have now.
He was evil in only 2 games and brainwashed in SS, so what? That doesn’t prove that his game can’t work like you think it does.
Like someone else said. The theory of superman just being asleep is amazing.
Video is really good keep it up 🔥
When i was struggling in Batman Arkham Knight and City i was like where is Superman and Supergirl when you need them the most
🤯 GREAT video!!
Crime never sleeps, but Superman does
"GET OUT OF MY CITY"
Great video. I forget that if it was in City or Knight, but some of the Goons will mention, "That freak from Metropolis." Clearly hinting at Superman and that some of the goons seem to be afraid to say his name. I wouldn't be too surprised if Batman has told the Leauge to stay away from Gotham and that he doesn't need help (even though he has a whole family). Let's not forget that Bruce didn't talk to anyone after Jokers and Talias's death, according to Oracle. So it's possible that he cut contact with the league before Knight. That's my explanation, at least.
It was AK😎
It could be Superman or probably lex Luther because they did say that but they also said you know what this city is missing then proceeds to say that freak from Metropolis. So I think they could’ve been talking about probably lex luthor because it makes sense to me because why would they say Superman is missing like they wanted him to be there?
dont forget that supes and bats are both pretty territorial with metropolis and gotham. it takes some end of the earth level threat for either to get involved and even then they wait till the last second to ask for help
No that's the complete opposite Clark calls in if he needs help like Bart even though he wanted Jay.
I wonder, since booster gold exists in this universe, does the Legion of Superheroes exist, and if so, have the meant and recruited a young superman to the future like in the comics
Understanding this world overall, especially from what I've seen of the SUICIDE SUICIDE trailer, this universe seems "dirty" and somewhat dark even in metropolis everything's so cluttered I do feel like the league does exist but other members like zatanna, Constantine,or even Ted cord aren't members persay rather just other heroes that might be allies or just other heroes doing there own thing I honestly wanna see green arrow or the teen titans in this world I just imagine Stephen Amell's Arrow in this world lol.
Arrow would be more interesting within a Arkham type game. Maybe Wonder Woman. But Superman is too OP.
From what i think the teen titans were formed and disbanded a long time ago because dick grayson is nightwing now.
Lex Luthor was NOT competant as president. he was able to con the people in the short term, but the deals he made nearly put the entire country in the crapper and would have destroyed the planet if he hadn't been deposed. to quote the animated movie: "Lex Luthor enjoys a 60% approval rating. Coincidentally, in a seperate poll, 60% of the populace has shown an prefrence for being f***ed with a red hot poker."
Maybe Bruce and the justice league had a falling out. Maybe they already went through the story line of Batman having protocols to beat the justice league and they kicked him out after one of the villains got hold of it. I forgot how the story line went but that’s the only explanation I can think of as to why no one helped Bruce
nah gotham city would blow up if they helped him
You can't argue that Superman slept during the Arkham Knight's night, scarecrow anounced his threat 1 day prior to the main events
This is a great video
Arkham Origins sequel where Batman and Superman encounter for the first time!!!!
Great video, but I wanna poke a little fun. 4:50 Cripinite, Kryptonite that is all
This game has been out for 8 years and I still never knew about that first name drop
Clark went to bed early each of the four nights
4:46
thats Smallvile show easter egg that's iterally Smallvile from the show, i love it.
Smallville is just where Clark grew up.. the show’s title is just his… home town💀
@@gallagher7156 so ? Its still Smallville from the openning shot. No need for skull emojis.
Hopefully we can get some Superman games
Superman deals with otherworldly threats. My guess is that the rest of the JL were in space somewhere dealing with it while Diana was back in Themiscyra dealing with her own thing and Batman is doing Batman things.
Also during arkham knight Jason said himself if anyone else came to gotham to stop their plans they would activate the bombs blowing up gotham so if any outside help came gotham would be explode.
i have to ask, where does your channel banner come from? i know its dan mora's dawn of dc art but i've never seen the full spread of characters. is there a source?
The other spread of characters was a custom creation someone I work with made for me!
I want a SuperMan game and a Flash Game in the Rocksteady Universe
He isn't exactly missing. He's mentioned multiple times throughout the series.
I only have 20 minutes of CZcams heft for today so this BETTER be good
God I hate my brain. Everytime where I see question related to Arkhamverse, my mind draws a picture where in the end author ask "Is he stupid?" or "Are they stupid?".
I imagine Superman laying down some pipe on Lois and passing out early watching Halloween movies then waking up to find out the events of Arkham Knight happened.
From what i remember in the comics, batman gets pretty pissy when Clark interferes with stuff happening in gotham even if its q wellness check for his buddy so maybe out of respect he trusts bruce knows what he is doing.. for better or worse
Ask WB ....who at the time could care less about superman..those mere Easter eggs mean nothing...he wasn't a priority..allegedly Rocksteady wanted to make a superman game but WB said no
So what you think of the newDC Show, My Adventures with Superman?
Maybe you could do reviews on it or even do Easter Eggs videos.
Watched them, I thought they were great, a breath of fresh air getting an actual bright and colorful Superman again. I may do a video on it, no plans though
I watched it and am really enjoying it
i like to believe he's at his job sipping coffee
Toyman is mentioned in the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC, so I think that he's been around for some time as a supervillain😋
The people who made the Batman, Arkham games, should really take a shot at making a superman game, even if it doesn’t take place in the Arkhamverse.
He chilling un Bruce sends that 911 text
I think its time Superman gotten his own video game made by Rocksteady.
Is it just me or does the “SMALLVILLE” in that newspaper look more like the font of the title screen of the CW show instead of a newspaper header font?
I always thought these games were a retooling/reboot of the 90s batman cartoons
are they not in the same universe?
am i wrong?
One of my favorite things about the Arkhamverse is the fact that they acknowledge other DC properties and that Batman isn’t the only superhero in the world. But he’s the only one the games focus on because these are BATMAN games, not Justice League games. They don’t force in cameos from Superman or the Flash, they just have subtle dialogue that’s very easy to miss. Like in Arkham Knight you can hear a Militia thug say “I’d rather invade Gotham than Keystone, at least I can see Batman coming” which is a reference to the Flash. Or when a survivor at the GCPD says “So Batman is Bruce Wayne? That’s unbelievable! Next you’re gonna tell me that Superman is a janitor, no, even better, that he’s a reporter at the Daily Planet or something!”. They literally just name dropped Superman.
These small lines of dialogue confirmed to us, that other DC characters exist in the archon universe. But they’re not important to the story, so why focus on them? The focus is solely on Batman and his story, but stuff is going on outside of Gotham. It’s just not important.
Wasn’t there also a dialogue in AK where some thug said “the only thing missing now is that freak from metropolis”
Neat
Or Superman was like "Yeah he's got this".
He was chilling
I am kinda mad but thankful they u Arkham knight Batman in the upcoming game but man the next Arkham game concept art of old man Batman looked cool
If they make a Superman Arkham style of game bro that would be insane
There should be a super man Arkham game
i really can't fathom why they thought a suicide squad game was he next step and not an actual justice league game
They really should make games on heroes in the arkham verse set during or between the games explains why they don't get involved also
We need a Superman game
I think at some point since events became all over the news the league knew and attempted to help but batman told em not to due to fear toxin and how powerful the members are and cant risk the possibility of em bein exposed
There needs to be a Superman game
Why didn’t Batman notify his friend? Is he confused?
I just want a superman game.. is that too much to ask for 😩
People are always saying it's so incredible that Arkham Batman can 100% his games his a single night, but if that's the case one has to wonder how impressive Arkham Flash would be. Putting Barry/Wally in City or Knight, considering all the close calls Bats has with his villains, he'd probably be done in maybe an hour at most.
Same here
It there was another arkam game I would Include the justice league as references to establish there exsistence something such as Alfred asking if he needs to call Clark and stuff like that I would also include a Darkseid reference like they did for starro
Superman has always been written to have been active a year or so before Batman to reflect their comic debuts, Superman in 1938 and Batman 1939. In Batman Year One they make a small reference to Superman.
These wouldn't be hard to believe espescially how many easter eggs you named!
Finally, you noticed.
Otisburg?....Otis...burg? Sorry love that.
First reaction reading the title: mannnn not doing shit!
In the first game they say the bombs go off in Gotham if anyone interferes, assume same threat incity and the gas in the last one
I feel like DC is having a hard time with the Movie Universe but that can definitely corner the DC Game market give everyone there own game and have them come together for a Justice league unlimited game
