VID GAMES: SUPERMAN Rumored To Appear In BATMAN ARKHAM KNIGHT
The speculation of shared gaming universe among DC characters has always felt like a dream and nothing more, right? Well, new reports say otherwise. Hit the jump for more!
New reports are flooding in and are saying that perhaps the king of easter eggs, Rocksteady, are planning on expanding the "Arkhamverse" in the highly anticipated Batman: Arkham Knight. Specifically, it's being said Rocksteady will drop hints that the Justice League does exist via radio messages across the game (something we have seen done with the Riddler, Alfred, Oracle, etc). Batman will pass by ongoing radios where newscasters are reporting on other heroes, villains, or possibly specific locations in the DCU. Rocksteady are no strangers to using radios to drop easter eggs, keep in mind. But that's not all; Superman is supposedly set to visit Gotham and offer Bruce help during this time in his life. However, Bruce of course denies the offer and we don't see Superman for the rest of the game. The other big rumor going around is Rocksteady is considering giving another hero the video game treatment. Could that hero in fact be Superman? One would have to think that, right?
Now, take this with a big grain of salt even though this does seem to have some logic behind the idea of Superman appearing. It appears WB has been trying to give their DC properties a big push in recent years, and Rocksteady currently has no plans for the future. Plus, with Batman vs Superman due in two years, it wouldn't be surprising to see the two teaming up in some form before then. Nevertheless, this is just another rumor that needs to be taken lightly.

Egotistical, witty, eccentric, crude, unorthodox, dynamic, disappointing, and even bothersome are words that accurately describe the one and the only MrBlackjack. Whether it's going on another ego stroking rant or demonstrating the love between Gal Gadot and myself, there is and never will be an exact process of guessing what I'm going to do next. Information regarding myself is on a need to know basis, although I shall spare some personal information. A few of my film favorites include Almost Famous, The Wolf of Wall Street, Evil Dead II, Clerks, and The Big Lebowski. X-Men: Days of Futures Past, The Dark Knight, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Iron Man, and Batman Begins make the list of my favorite comic book movies. Some quotes to live by include "Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out." (Martin Scorsese), "I always tell the girls, never take it seriously, if ya never take it seriously, ya never get hurt, ya never get hurt, ya always have fun, and if you ever get lonely, just go to the record store and visit your friends." (Almost Famous), and "I try to eat healthy. But sometimes though, I eat cheeseburgers. That's good for the soul." (Gal Gadot).
