All Easter Eggs in Gotham Knights

I Understood That Reference!

If you’re well-versed on the Batman comics, you’re probably excited to see how Gotham Knights plays into the franchise’s long history. The Caped Crusader burst onto the scene in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939, and ever since, he’s been influencing the trajectory of the comics world. But, in the world of Gotham Knights, the Dark Knight has been taken out — permanently. That being said, how does this game handle references and easter eggs to the near-century of crime fighting that the Batman has given us?

It should be noted that, as of publication, Gotham Knights has not been released. So, this list may change at some point in the future, once the game is publicly available.
