The Dark Knight has benefitted from excellent animated TV adaptations, with Batman: The Animated Series being the most acclaimed to date. Regardless, several of these shows inspired memorable stories for the DC Comics icon that all have something meaningful to say about the character.
Just as important, though, is how episodes from these animated shows do an excellent job of fleshing out the hero's lore and supporting cast — villains included. Whether it's all-time classics like the Btas episode "Heart of Ice" or the underrated The New Batman Adventures episode "Double Talk," these episodic tales help to showcase all aspects of the Dark Knight's world.

Since the release of Gotham Knights on Oct 21st, 2022, it's become clear that WB Games Montreal included several minute details that are very easy to miss on the first few playthroughs. The game is set in Gotham City after the lethal ambush of Batman, and it follows the heroic exploits of Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood as Ra's Al Ghul, Harley Quinn, and others terrorize the city. Although Batman is absent for most of the game, he leaves a lasting detective legacy behind with his case files to help the Gotham Knights follow in his footsteps and deliver swift justice.
A major part of Gotham Knights' appeal is discovering the wealth of hidden details after playing the acclaimed comic book video game, many of which include historical tie-ins to long-held DC lore. Whether paying homage to Bruce Wayne's childhood hero, referencing Black Canary's time as a musician, or...
