The Beginning
Beware my power... SPOILERS


Obviously the beginning is a nod to the beginning of Arkham Asylum (soundtrack too).


First look at the return of our favourite guard/cop Aaron Cash.


In the first shot of Deadshot (je) you can see teases of his story with the Arkhamverse Deadshot that we know of. More of this later.


At the train station: Coast City (Green Lantern), Star City (Green Arrow), Blüdhaven (Nightwing), Keystone City (Jay Garrick´s first The Flash), Gotham City (If you don´t know goodbye), Opal City (Starman and this days various members of The Authority).


The Watchtower, official space base of the Justice League. Probably coming in next seasons?


There are several signs for the celebration of Justice Day with info. This aludes the fact that the Hall of Justice was a train station.


Justice League training room "The Kitchen" as seen in the comics.


Barry says that his suit was built by WayneTech.


Wonder Woman armor as first seen in Kingdom Come, and many more times since then in the comics. Most notably it appears in Wonder Woman 1984. I think we may see this armor in future episodes... i will talk more about it later.


Lantern references Oa, the Guardians and the fact that he was an arquitect and marine like in the comics.


Batman offers first hint that the Justice League was formed after the events of Arkham Knight.


Batpod seen in Arkham City and Knight. Very much used in the gameplay of this game.


The teleportation system to the Watchtower. Argus later uses this in the game in smaller scale.


The batwing as seen in Arkham Knight. We will saw it again later in the game.


This was like drugs to an easter eggs seeker and a DC fan. From right to left: Batdrone and grapnel gun of Batman, Doc Sivana (Shazam villain) speed force gaunlet, handkerchief of Polka Dot Man (Batman villain, seen in The Suicide Squad), Gizmo´s jetpack (Teen Titans villain; we will know this fella soon), Scarecrow fear injector glove (as seen dramatically in Arkham Knight), Poison Ivy plant, Man-bat blood sample, Dr. Poison canister (Wonder Woman villain, seen in the first film portrayed by spanish actress Elena Anaya), Riddler (INVISIBILITY) hat, Toymaker (Superman villain) winning prize technology later seen in the game, Bizarro rock (Not Bizarro rock) (Superman villain), Condiment King (best Batman villain ever) ketchup and mustard, and finally Merlyn´s arrow (Green Arrow villain, seen in Arrow).


First mention of Deathstroke. Coming in season 4.


Harley mourns Ivy as she was thought death in Arkham Knight.


Landing spot for Wonder Woman´s invisibility jet and Batman´s batwing.


At the lab you can find several experiments with the speed force made by Flash.


Lucius Fox was made president of WayneTech when Bruce apparently died. He worked for cure the consecuences of the fear toxin plague in Gotham after the events of Arkham Knight.


The Bat-experience
The bat-experience is really self-explanatory but there are things to say. A exhibition which showcases the events of the Arkham Trilogy (Origins i love you too). Each of the Squad members will make different commentaries depending on who you are controlling. Things to point out are:


- Batman uses the same batarang design all these years later.



- The explanation of Arkham Knight ending. When Bruce fak3d his death, a new hero appeared in Gotham, the Demon Bat (Batsy in the shadows using fear toxin gas). But when Superman emerges in Metropolis as the embodiment of hope, truth and justice, he and Bruce saw the opportunity to unite to change and protect the world. Bruce then reappears and forms the Justice League.


- Jack Ryder (seen in previous games) is the narrator (returning Vicki Vale too). He points out that the methods of the Arkham Knight are similar to those of Red Hood, indicating that the vigilante is well know by the public.


- Batman uses vents like in previous games, moving a body when you pass by.

I will post the rest of the references without explanation. I want you to buy a ticket to suffer the Bat-experience by yourself. I confess that many of the photos were taken with the lights off because i didn´t know if i would have a better chance. Sorry.



Didn´t manage to take a picture of the Man-bat jumpscare, but if you wanna experience it again like in Arkham Knight, climb the Clock Tower.
Daily Planet
The Daily Planet is perfect for easter eggs. Each of the Squad will make different commentaries about the reporters depending on who you are controlling, like Deadshot saying that he was once approached to kill Jimmy Olsen.


In the Arkhamverse, Clark and Lois are the second in command at this point of the story. I think the number of floor is the same from some comic but i don´t remember which.


The Planet uses pneumatic tubes, which i love design-wise. A. Stewart doesn´t have a match i could think in the comics, but when you search in Google there is an Amy Stewart who works as a senior producer in Daily Planet Productions (They do visual effects). I think maybe this is a total coincidence but it´s a funny one.


Steve Lombard desk, one of the most famous Daily Planet reporters. He has a book about pranks and a drawn of Lex, indicating that he has the same mischievous personality like in the comics.


As we know from other references around the game, since the Skull Ship arrived until the atack of Brainiac several days had passed. They were investigating.


Ben Keeling, enviroment artist at Rocksteady.


Desk of Cat Grant, queen of gossip. One of the most famous columnists. He has a prominent role in the Supergirl tv series.


Jeryce Dianingana, ex-Rocksteady enviroment artist.


Matthieu Chollet, enviroment artist at Rocksteady.


John Southgate, eviroment artist at Rocksteady.


I don´t find a match here. Maybe you can help.


Same here.


Same here.


Same here. He has the Arkham Asylum batmobile figure in his desk.


Robert Holehouse, enviroment artist at Rocksteady. He has a statue in Gotham (Bleake Island).


And of course the great, the incomparable Jimmy Olsen. I think he loves Superman.


Into Clark´s office.


He has a collection of rocks. I think we can assume they are from space.


Some of his headlines: Intergang (enemies of Superman in the comics, more of this topic later), Kord flying cars (more of this later too), the Demon Bat (as said, Batman in disguise using fear toxin).

It looks like Clark has an intern. A. McKenzie could be Artuhr McKenzie, the amalgam version of Aquaman and Namor, but i doubt it very much. Funny tho. The real reference is probably Ashley McKenzie, lightining artist at Rocksteady.


Clark´s desk. A living furniture legend. It has a Pa and Ma photo. It has the glasses!!!! It looks like he had to go in a hurry (like usual). I wonder how the attack was seen in the Daily Planet that day...


Metropolis map with some locations marked. I didn´t have time to investigate yet.


Lois office.


Her desk. You can see a headline "The Toyman, Winslow Schott caught" implying that there was a first Toyman like in the comics, villain of Superman, before the one that unites to your team during the adventure. His shop can be seen in Metropolis (in the METROPOLIS section).


She has her Pulitzer prize, a photo with her father, General Sam Lane of the US Army, and a photo of her being in a war zone.


Her office is kind of a mess, like in the comics.


Looks like she has an intern too. No match


Luthor was thinking of being president like the thugs were saying in Arkham Knight, but ultimately (and maybe with the help of the Daily Planet) passed.


Perry´s office.


He has some artwork of the Arkham games and Suicide Squad.


His desk. He has a Pulitzer too. A headline about Greeen Lantern with no particular info.


He has a trophy display with some high school or university prizes along with newspapers which we can assume he is proud of.


He would love to know Nanaue. Maybe in future episodes.


Always ready to change shoes.


The behemoths appear to be invented to fight giant monsters. DOD mentioned (where Sam Lane works).


The Shining.


Look close. In the second floor of Perry´s office you can spot an artwork of Green Lantern Hal Jordan.
LexCorp

This isn´t a easter egg, more like a design detail. Lex mixes Greco-Latin elements with current robotic technology, like a modern Alexander the Great. The guy thinks he is Ozymandias.


Experiments with the Colu organics.


Poison Ivy´s room.


Some kind of experiment. This is already in the lab before the arrival of Lex-2. I think it´s safe to say that it´s a test about teleporting material of Earth-2. LuthorCorp logo on it (more of this in Earth-2 section).


On a table at the first room, you can see a paper titled "String theory and dimensional symetry" by Lex Luthor and Dr. Thaddeus Sivanna. It can be found into the vault of Wayne Bank too.
Wayne Bank

Letters from Selina seen in Wayne Manor in Arkham VR. The painting on the table is used in a Iceberg Lounge ticket also seen in Arkham VR.
Batcave

Bat-armory. Since season 1 patch, the suits are the ones from Asylum, City and Knight.


Bat-wing.


I think Bruce has been training too much this past five years...


The Metropolis batcave is located inside an old energy plant.


Arkham Asylum´s batmobile model, Wayne Manor model and batwing model.


Another bright spot for the fans. From left to right, up to bottom: Mr. Freeze gear, Riddler trophy and cane, Joker´s gun and flower, Mad Hatter´s book, Black Mask-mask (this model goes back to Arkham Asylum), Mad Hatter´s hat, Anarky´s mask, Red Hood´s mask, Deathstroke stick and sword (i hope he says something about this in season 4), Scarface, Killer Croc´s hand, Electrocutioner´s gloves (ORIGINS I LOVE YOU), Joker´s gift and venom or fear toxin.


Scarecrow mask and equipment.


Babel Protocols. From JLA: Tower of Babel by Waid and Porter. The batprotocols to eliminate all Justice League members.


Sinestro Corps battery. Bruce says that the League fought them.


Robin´s mask. There is little blood. There isn't a body. I think he´s alive, escaped or taken by Brainiac. Possibly we will know in future seasons.


Bruce wants Jason back in the batfamily.


Kamo, god of sharks and father of King Shark.


Floyd is seeing some interesting things while talking to an imaginary Zoe...


Harley talking to Harleen in Arkham Asylum.


Demon Bat himself.


Batmite reference.


Looks like Bruce still uses Arkham Knight´s batmobile.


You can read "Hal Jordan" spelled backwards in one screen. Maybe Hal Jordan was the Justice League´s Green Lantern for some time in the development.

Hall of ARGUS
The Hall of Justice is changed through the story by ARGUS.


Kevin Conroy and Arleen Sorkin memorials in the inner sanctum. The Batman and Harley from my childhood.


The lockers changing from episode to episode.


Looks like Lawton doesn´t like being confused with Deathstroke.


Photo of Zoe (coming in season 3).


Arkham Knight´s Harley suit.


Cash mentions Firefly (seen in Origins and Knight).


Poor guy...


When Gizmo arrives, all the Justice League trophies are at the basement in boxes. Later dissapear.


Gizmo says that this version of the Squad is the third or four in survive rating. I think we will know more of the previous Squads when Deathstroke arrives.


Reverse Flash confirmed.


Metallo confirmed.


Sinestro confirmed (again).


Ares confirmed. At the right you can see "Robot Man" in the screen.


Robot Man himself. In the comics. he is a member of the Doom Patrol, portrayed by Oscar winner Brendan Fraser in the series. Looks like in the Arkhamverse is a japonese style robot invented by Toyman.


Green Arrow mentioned.


Afflictions are references to different DC villains. El Diablo (Suicide Squad member, seen in the Ayer movie), Mr. Freeze, Bane and Livewire (Superman villain, seen in The Animated Series).
METROPOLIS
In this section i will add the vast majority of easter eggs that you cand find in places, cutscenes, audios, texts or conversations around Metropolis interiors and exteriors. No particular order.


Peacemaker graffiti. Being in The Suicide Squad movie and his own series, it would be awesome if he joined the Squad (Although in the comics he is being in the Squad only recently). He does the same as Deadshot, but better.


Black Manta graffiti. Another fine adiction to the Squad.


Deathstroke graffiti. You know when he is coming.


My favourite. Vigilante graffiti. Looks like he is the people´s champ.


Polka Dot Man fought Brainiac´s minions here.


Kite Man (Batman villain, seen in Harley Quinn: The Animated Series) had a little accident in this building...


Pengüin mentions that he is the one that dissected Harley´s hyenas in Arkham City (seen in the Natural History Museum).


Condiment King gets mentioned.


Gotham City Herald (newspaper seen in Arkham Knight) ad in Metropolis (it can be seen in several places). The line "Connecting cities across the Bay" indicates that Gotham and Metropolis are in the same area at the Arkhamverse.


One of the bigger shelters in Metropolis. This indicates that much of the population can still be alive.


Stryker´s Island bus used by Flag.


Stryker´s Island itself, prison of Metropolis (the Metropolis version of Blackgate/Arkham).


Company of Dr. Sivanna (Shazam villain, previously mentioned).


Company of Simon Stagg (seen in Arkham Knight). Looks like he got out of prison.


Looks like Wayne mini shelters, all across the city.


One of Lex companies.


Wonderland District font looks like the Wonder City font of Arkham City. Maybe in the past there was a League of Assassins base in Metropolis, but the district survived the years not like the Gotham City one.


Legion of Doom gets mentioned. Looks like in the Arkhamverse, Lex Luthor was the leader.


Flash Arkhamverse´s Rogues mentioned. Top and Mirror Master are members. They have a no kill rule.


Green Lantern pronounces his famous oath.


Valhalla cemetery, where the Justice Society of America members were buried.


Marisol Leone, head of the Invisible Mafia (Superman enemies) and one time owner of the Daily Planet. The Red Cloud, metahuman soldier of the Invisible Mafia. Dr. Glory, STAR Labs scientist who investigates the multiverse.


This isn´t a recognizable DC character or Rocksteady member.


Paul De Vries was a Metropolis founder.


Edna Luthor is Lex mom.


Peter Vernon was a Revolutionary War hero of Metropolis.


One of the Time Masters. Cousin of Rip Hunter (seen in the Legends of Tomorrow TV show).


Department of Extranormal Operations in Metropolis. In the comics, it´s an agency tasked to monitor all the metahuman activities.

Skeleton Crew, characters from the Wildstorm Universe (absorbed by DC).


Knockout reference, a escaped Fury of Apokolips.


?


One of Lacey´s stores in Metropolis. Also seen in previous Arkham games.


Dan Garrett, the first Blue Beetle, is a University of Metropolis teacher.


Amertek, one of the big guns manufacturer in DC.


You can find Lex statue missing piece of face.


Brainiac says that Lois Lane was Superwoman in several universes, like in some Elseworlds comics.


Big Belly Burger, one of the DC multiverse constants.


Queen Consolidated building, property of Oliver Queen aka Green Arrow (referenced in Origins and Knight too).


Dayton Industries, owned by Mento, character related with the Doom Patrol, married with Elasti-Girl and adoptive father of Beast Boy.


Some Watchmen - Big Brother - Brother Eye type propaganda on Metropolis. Looks like the Arkhamverse was going full dystopian before the Brainiac invasion. After the trauma of the invasion, maybe we will see a future Arkham Beyond society.
METROPOLIS: Part 2

Attended by Supergirl in the comics.


Poor kids.


In this artwork you can see in the drive sign that Metropolis and Gotham are close.


Zatanna (one of the most magic characters in the comics) makes a return in Metropolis (referenced in other Arkham games too).


Wayne building on another island.


Edna Luthor (Lex mom) statue.


Goldstar Inc., the first company created by Booster Gold.

There are several minor characters by the name Blackburn in DC comics.


Futuresmiths easter egg, comic characters who are basically little parts of Brainiac in disguise.


Sure this posters are an easter egg, but i don´t know what it´s referencing...


Pelham, one of Metropolis neighborhoods, seen on other island.


The zeppelin name is Dame Linda.


James Gordon Jr., son of Captain (now Mayor in the Arkhamverse) Gordon and brother of Barbara Gordon. He is a sociopath like in the comics.


Looks like Wayne Enterprises is a high tech security company now.


Starro spoures being destroyed by the Braniac attack at STAR Labs building. Reminder that Starro appears in the Batgirl DLC in Arkham Knight. Looks like STAR Labs caught him. It can only be seen in the first episodes. Braniac later destroys the building. Returns in Season 1 - Episode 1.


Funny way to store a pepperoni pizza.


Ocran Industries, a chemical company who appears in the Vertigo series The Exterminators.


Ferris Air, where Hal Jordan (first human member of the Green Lantern Corps) works.


Students caught up at the university.


Looks like Riddler wrote a book.


There are comic accurate drawns at the streets.


Kord Industries, property of Ted Kord (the second Blue Beetle) was the primary car manufacturer at the time of Arkham Knight. In the five years passed, he invented the electric flying car, which can be seen all along Metropolis. The battery stations too.


There are a lot of references to a gang war happening in Metropolis between the Street Demonz (Penguin gang), Intergang, Ghost Dragons, the Royal Flush Gang and others.


Ivy bio says that she is the real Ivy, not a clone, not a doppleganger. She will eventually remind everything.


Gizmo bio hints that he fought some Arkhamverse version of the Teen Titans. Also that he has the position that Riddler wants in the Squad.


Deadshot audio logs indicate that the original Deadshot of the Arkhamverse has 99% the same DNA. He appeared after Zoe´s birth and the Squad´s Floyd retirement. He points out that he was able to defeat him because their way of thinking was exactly the same. In the fight, they destroyed half city until Green Lantern stopped Floyd. The scratch in SquadFloyd´s mask was made by a ArkhamOriginalDeadshot shot. In the prequel comic it´s hinted that the other one didn´t die. In the audio logs, it´s clearly stated that the other Deadshot came from another earth decades before the Braniac attack, maybe from Earth-2. I think this is a mistery that we will see unravel in future seasons. Maybe even fight him? Sure looks like it.


Nanaue audio logs reveal that he is in the Squad by choice, to have friends.


His bio reveals that he has been imprisioned by the US goverment for some time.


Doctor Happersen has a brief scene, but he is a character from the comics who works at LexCorp like in the game.


METROPOLIS: Part 3

WGBS is Metropolis leader of telecommunications in the comics.


Galaxy Communications is the other famous media bussines from the comics.


Toymaker´s ad.


Metropolis has a dam like in the comics.

Franklin Berkowitz was mayor of Metropolis in the comics.


Wallace Luthor was Lex's great-grandfather.


Carla Falcone was a Chicago mobster and sister of Carmine Falcone, the head of the Falcone family in Gotham. She appeared and died in "The Long Halloween" in the comics.


Project Cadmus (a famous organization from the comics) logo in Hob´s Bay.


The Ultimate Computer Corporation appeared in Power Girl comics.


The Superman statue in Centennial Park is the same one where Clark is buried after "The Death of Superman" in the comics.


Clock King (Batman villain) reference.


Possibly a reference to Lionel Luthor, Lex´s father in Smallville.


Ace o´ Clubs is the most famous bar in the Suicide Slums (and in Metropolis) on the comics. It´s owned by Bibbo, Superman "best pal". His voice can be heard in the audio ads playing in the city.


Starrware Inc. was a company founded by a former Ultimate Computer Corporation worker in Power Girl comics.


Alan Grant is the creator of Anarky, Zsasz and the Ventriloquist, among others.


Everyman is a supervillain from the comics who impersonates Lex.


On the plate of the car you can read MXYZPTLK, a reference to the Superman villain Mister Mxyzptlk.


Trying to escape from a mission makes Waller detonate the neck bomb. One of the possible conversations is Waller asking Flag to recruit Killer Moth next.


Loomis Land is a reference to Oswald Loomis, aka The Prankster, villain of Superman.


The solution to this easter egg comes from Arkham Videos. You can find several pieces of a puzzle in Metropolis which forms a poster of The Prankster, with numbers that are the coordinates of Rocksteady Studios at London.





- Things not captured: A conversation with Nanaue talking about Aquaman, confirming his existence in the Arkhamverse (there is a radio ad naming Aquaman too), and another one of Boomer talking about Pied Piper.
Earth-2

In Earth-2, Hal Jordan is Green Lantern and Wally West is The Flash.


Wonder Woman wears her silver armor instead of the gold one that she wears in the Arkhamverse Earth-1.


The Justice League of Earth-2.


Riddler was a member of the Squad in Earth-2. Or maybe we will see him join the squad in future seasons...


Lex company is called LuthorCorp and not LexCorp. In several universes of DC is called like that.


He sported the beard in the ads before the invasion.


What´s in there?


Daphne´s body (His name is a greek mythology reference).


Boomer was Lady Boomerang in Earth-2. Looks like she had a close relationship with Lex.


Another Lex subsidiary...


Another LuthorCorp ad. This one is from Metropolis, in one of the areas left with Earth-2 buildings. Here comes the Lex-moustache.
The Justice League is dead (?)
I´m sure everybody has read or listen this theory in some way, but it´s obvious that the Justice League is alive. Not only The Flash finger growing after Bommer cut it. Not only Superman surviving kryptonite right at his chest. I will post some more evidence


The lantern ring not working properly when Jon supposedly died:

- It doesn´t fly away when he dies.

- Nanaue can pick it like it was nothing.

- The Green Lantern shield doesn´t fall when he dies.

- The green shark attacks Nanaue.


Braniac teleports ALL bodies right after they are defeated.


Brainiac uses a modified Flash body in the final fight (by the way, Vril Dox is the son of Brainiac in the comics).


Batman being brutaly tortured by Lex. I think Lex knows.


Another Arkham Videos find. There are twelve calendaries at Metropolis which spell in code "HE WILL RETURN" being the last calendary with the bat-symbol next to where Batman is shot.



It´s obvious that the Justice League we fight is a genetic modified Justice League. Maybe clones. Maybe the real ones modified. But they are not the "real" Justice League. The Justice League will return in future seasons. Haters gonna hate. Let Rocksteady cook.


PD: Diana dying without leaving a body...
Season 1 - Episode 1

In Joker´s Earth, Riddler and Penguin were squad members.


Lawless name dropped for the first time (future season 3 character). It is mentioned that Intergang weapons are build with New Gods technology (one of Jack Kirby finest creations for DC). In the comics, Intergang and Darkseid worked closely.


In Joker´s Earth there are villain-ish ads mirroring the Metropolis ads. This ad is from "Crane Chemicals", referencing Scarecrow.


Classic Joker drawing.


Weather Wizard reference.


Toymaker reveal´s that his neck bomb was removed. He is working with Lois Lane in the shadows.


Winslow Schott shop from Joker´s Earth.


Joker talking about how old the Arkhamverse Joker was. We have a new Joker to be old on Arkham Beyond...


A reference to Joker´s favourite hobby in "The Killing Joke".


This also could be posted in the bat-experience section. Coming with season 1, Joker has unique dialogue in this museum, like every squad member. He confirms that Arkham Asylum and Batman existed in his universe. He doesn´t know who The Arkham Knight is, but states that he has a "punchable face", referencing the death of Jason Todd. Joker also says something odd about Scarecrow in his universe, implying that he was very different from Arkhamverse´s Scarecrow.


The Gentleman Ghost suits are a reference to a character with the same name from the comics. He´s originally a supernatural enemy of Hawkman and Hawkgirl, later from Batman and other heroes. He was member of the Suicide Squad Black, a subdivision of the squad fighting magical threats.
Season 1 - Episode 2

In the opening scene of Episode 2, you can see Brainiac experimenting with Green Lantern. This experiments will probably lead to his resurrection.


Furthermore, in the Joker monologue, Green Lantern, Superman and Flash can be seen in the crowd.

On Joker´s Earth, you can spot a Sionis Industries logo. Sionis Industries is the company of Roman Sionis aka Black Mask, villain of Batman seen in previous games.


Titan Intoxicated Suits are a reference to the final boss of Arkham Asylum.

The location of the JL suits is now empty with pods... they are coming back.

Like Joker, Mrs. Freeze has unique interactions in the bat-experience.


Lex mentions again his romantic relationship with Lady Boomerang.

Season 2 - Episode 4

Flash has amnesia and damage in his nervous system, hence his rest in a pod.


You can find the cell where the unchosen characters wait in the Hall of Justice ruins from Frozen Earth.


Also, you can find the door to Mrs. Freeze secret lab in Frozen Earth (and the empty Nora pod).


Reality bubbles teasing familiar locations of Gotham coming in Season 3. Lawless (character), Catwoman (Infamy set) and Halloween (holiday) are coming too. The new audio logs also tease Lawless.
Season 3 - Episode 5
This episode is full of easter eggs from Gotham, Batman and the Arkham Saga. Keep in mind that this Gotham is an Elseworld version, it´s not exactly the Gotham from the Arkham series. Some of this easter eggs were easter eggs in those games. For starters, the soundtrack of the Gotham Elseworld uses the melodies and themes of the previous games, and it´s awesome. I wish they release it on Spotify.

You can spot destroyed tanks from the Arkham Knight militia across Gotham Elseworld.

We never visit the sorroundings of the Gotham area near Arkham Aslyum in the previous games, but it´s safe to say that there are thematic bussines.

Season 4 - Episode 7
Here it is, the final season.


Like in the comics, Slade has a complicated relationship with his childrens. They grew up to become supervillains too.


We are informed that Slade worked behind the courtains all this time, killing several of the 13 Brainiacs, being sober and training since Arkham Knight.


Bel Dame is a supervillain from the Brimstone comics. She has a lavender shop in the Medieval Elseworld.


The House of El ascended to power after arriving from Krypton in the "Dark Knights of Steel" comic.


They have his own version of Ivy and Daphne.


This time we are in Smaillville, "birth" place of Clark Kent.


Kryptonite meteor in the Medieval Elseworld.


A kryptonian fought here.


Wonder Woman statue.


Jefferson Pierce (aka Black Lightning in the comics) is the ruler of the Kingdom of Storms and head of House of Pierce in the "Dark Knights of Steel" comics. Looks like there is some kind of special celebration in Smallville with the great houses, his own "Justice League Day".


This universe "Justice League". Superman is the son of the kings, Batman is... something complicated, but the right hand of House of El, and Diana is the representative of the Amazonian Kingdom.


Slade talks to John about his soldier past.


Slade has unique dialogue in the museum with his own display, the other Deadshot and Arkham Knight.


Scrymgeour is the name of the first sword of Slade in the comics.



Season 4 - Episode 8: The End
Final episode, and the ending is here.


Slade states that something or someone else is killing the other Brainiac clones.


With the clones killed by Deathstroke in secret and the ones being killed by mysterious means, there is only one Brainiac left.


Slade contemplates retirement. Oolong Island is an asian island where mad scientist created a colony for their experiments in the Doom Patrol comics. Other option for Slade is a spa created with Lazarus Pits, used by Ra´s al Ghul for immortal life.


We even see Slade imagining himself in Oolong Island.


On the Medieval Elseworld, Kord Industries are a horse company, not a car company.


Lois Lane states that Deathstroke is been imprisoned since the cloudburst incident in Arkham Knight. Cloudburst was developed by Dr. Sartorious aka Doctor Phosphorus, seen recently in DC Studios Creature Commandos.


Medieval version of the Watchtower. Barbara is "The Oracle".


There is a Luthor castle on the new part of the map.


The arena mentioned in the previous episode makes an appareance.


Jor-El and Lara statues, rulers of the Kingdom of El and parents of Kal-El.


Blaze Comics has his own medieval version.


Bibbo has his own medieval version.


Outlaw talks with Green Lantern about the other Deadshot, stating that he was indeed a Deadshot of another earth. Maybe some day we will know how this happened.


Joker says that he barely met Batman in his own universe and that he didn´t know Harley personally but she was the presenter of a psicological tv show.


Ivy has flashbacks of the Arkham Knight comic prologue.


Flash and Green Lantern help you in the final fight versus Brainiac.


After defeating the last 3 Brainiacs and freeing Superman, Batman reveals itself and says that the Justice League fought in the base game were clones. Now they are all free and with the help of the Suicide Squad, they beat Brainiac.


With the exception of Wonder Woman, who was real and is presumably dead. (Lex running for Congress too).


Helped by their friends, the nanobombs of the Suicide Squad are disabled.


Then, they freed all the prisioners from Brainiac and stole his ship to travel the multiverse free of Waller. The Justice League helps to rebuild other worlds destroyed by Brainiac.


Before they leave, Lois Lane recieves a special package to take down Waller.


Waller and Brainiac have a final conversation before sending him to Belle Reve. They are going to experiment with him.


With the Brainiac killed off screen by Deathstroke before meeting him, one more possibly taken down by Batman, and the three killed in the final battle, now all 13 Brainiac are defeated.


And this is the final look of the skull ship after all the episodes. I will update this guide if i find something new. I hope to see you all in a future Batman: Arkham Beyond with an old Bruce and Terry with the suit. One can dream with the Rocksteady comeback.
