    Batman: Arkham City - Easter Egg #32 - Batman Mythos [Part 1]

    Batman: Arkham City Easter Egg Video in High Definition

    ===================================

    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.

    Here are a few examples.

    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 (one of the downloadable challenge maps for the original game, included in the GOTY version of Arkham City).
    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". He became a villain because Bruce successfully petition the close of his company due to Krank's toys being too dangerous.

    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.

    You can find the Stacked Deck sign in several places of Arkham City.

    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.

    Both are well-known characters in DC Comics. 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 (right before entering the Iceberg Lounge).

    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.

    Batman: Arkham City - Easter Egg #35 - Gotham in a Puddle

    Batman: Arkham City Easter Egg Video in High Definition

    ===================================

    Easter Egg Nr. 35: Gotham in a Puddle

    Inside one of the locked rooms of the Museum's Gladiator Pit, you can find a little puddle which reflects the skyline of Gotham City.

    Many fans consider this little detail as an Easter Egg hinting at the location for the next game. Unfortunately the puddle is just a reused texture to create the reflection effect in several places of Arkham City, like the walls in the GCPD building and windows of Wonder City (even though is very difficult to recognize the city in these reflections).

    The book with the word "Gotham" and a little plaque with the inscription "Sanity fighting the Madness" reversed (the same inscription which appears in Arkham Asylum) found right in front the puddle, could point out to Gotham or Arkham Asylum, even if the book and the plaque can be seen everywhere in Arkham City.

    - Gotham Magazine with references to Joker, Commissioner Gordon, the Injustice Gang, Bruce Wayne, the Penguin and Quincy Sharp.

    Batman: Arkham City - Easter Egg #34 - Cadmus Labs (Harley Quinn's Revenge)

    Batman: Arkham City "Harley Quinn's Revenge" Easter Egg Video in High Definition

    http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLE9FF841827EFB6D7&a...

    ===================================

    Easter Egg Nr. 34: Cadmus Labs

    In several places of the Shipyard, the secret base of Harley Quinn, you can find posters of the "Cadmus Labs" which say "Building a brighter tomorrow".

    In the comics, the Cadmus project was a scientific research center located outside of Metropolis and known for its achievements in genetic engineering and human cloning capabilities. Cadmus was involved in the creation of Superboy (mixing genetic samples of Lex Luthor and Superman) and Golden Guardian.

    In the animated series Justice League Unlimited, Cadmus was a government project designed to take precautions against the League going rogue. They were responsible for creating Doomsday as a clone of Superman, and Terry McGinnis, the second Batman, using Bruce Wayne's DNA.

    In the animated movie Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, is hinted that Joker used Cadmus technology to overwrite his DNA into Tim Drake (the same Robin who appears in Arkham City and Harley Quinn's Revenge).

    In Harley Quinn's Revenge, almost all the posters appear near to a Joker mannequin, maybe hinting at some cloning project for the Clown Prince of Crime - one of the possible ways to "resurrect" a dead character, together with Ra's al Ghul's Lazarus Pits.
