welcome to Gotham City where you’ll find
secrets of plenty perfections possible
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
Easter eggs in Batman movies before we
begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
the coolest hidden gems in Batman films
since some of these Easter eggs contain
key plot details a spoiler alert is in
order number 10 the Joker’s final
appearance the Dark Knight Rises
see I’m not a monster I’m just ahead of
the curve
sadly the Joker didn’t appear in the
flesh but as a testament to his enduring
presence in Gotham Christopher Nolan
apparently snuck in to subtle nods to
the Clown Prince of Crime in the Dark
Knight Rises in one scene a magazine can
be seen lying on a chair near Bruce
Wayne and from the viewers limited
perspective the face on the cover
appears to be that of the Joker
Swain’s will was not amended to reflect
his more modest estate later during the
unveiling of the statue of Batman the
overhead shot of the ceremony reveals a
distinctly Joker ish smiley face even in
his absence the Joker still managed to
leave his mark behind why so serious
number 9 shark repellent bat spray the
Lego Batman movie for short repo a spot
spray over his decade spanning
crime-fighting career the Caped Crusader
has amassed quite the collection of
gadgets many of which leave much to be
desired in terms of originality
credibility practicality and you know
all-around common sense but even against
steep competition the shark repellent
bat spray has seen in the 1966 Batman
film based on the 1960s TV series
remains arguably the most ridicule tool
in Batman’s arsenal shark or don’t
actually you can you can’t judge that
until 2017 that is in the Lego Batman
movie the shark repellent received its
moment of redemption when in a
tongue-in-cheek nod to the colorful
history of The Dark Knight it was used
to take down the most legendary shark in
cinematic history jaws it was useless
after all
number 8 the 1989 Batmobile the Lego
Batman movie to the Batmobile
hot-diggity-dog the Lego Batman movie is
basically one glorious celebration of
all things Batman from his most grim and
gritty moments to as we just saw his
most absurdly silly we’re just gonna
gently
[Music]
paying homage to the other big screen
Batman films that preceded it the Lego
Batman movie Batcave features a
jaw-dropping collection of Batmobiles we
could easily go full nerdgasm over any
of them but the appearance of the
classic 1989 Tim Burton Batmobile
arguably resonates most how can you not
get excited seeing the Batmobile from
the first live-action film to take the
character seriously so lovingly
recreated out of Lego nearly three
decades later number seven the Batphone
The Dark Knight Rises what’s your name
Blake sir
from a film like Lego Batman we expect
Easter Egg throwbacks to the Batman
series of the 1960s in the world of
Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight though
not really and yet a bright red
telephone can be seen in the scene where
John Blake whose middle name is Robin
meets Bruce Wayne for the first time it
looks like it was pulled straight from
the world inhabited by Adam West and
Burt Ward dynamic duo naturally that’s
not all though sitting right beside it
is a bronze bust you know like the one
they used to access the cave like we
said before nothing is accidental when
Nolan is at the helm I’m coming to get
some fresh air stop paying attention to
detail
number 6 Bob Kane’s paper cameo Batman
this is Batman without working which
isn’t too bad kind of think of it if it
worked for artists Bob Kane and writer
bill finger now Superman and spider-man
would have significantly less
competition for the title of world’s
most popular superhero a big supporter
of the Batman films from the very
beginning Bob Kane was actually supposed
to have a cameo in Tim Burton’s 1989
Batman but sadly he was unable to make
it on the day he was scheduled to shoot
unless a drawing of his including his
trademark signature made the final cut
of the film in his place although he
himself never appeared in a bat flick
his wife Elizabeth Sanders played the
role of gossip Gerty in later
installments you must be new in town in
Gotham City Batman and Robin protect us
even from plants and flowers
number five A Tale of Two Cities
The Dark Knight Rises I say a beautiful
city and a brilliant people rising from
this director Christopher Nolan’s Dark
Knight trilogy may exist in the genre of
comic book movies but his cinematic take
on Batman tends to be fairly high
concept stuff in the third and final
instalment the Nolan brothers along with
David s Goyer took inspiration from the
Charles Dickens classic A Tale of Two
Cities it is a far far better risk I go
to and I have ever known they did more
than borrow story elements however in
one scene
Tom Hardy’s Bane can be seen twirling a
piece of twine a direct reference to
Dickens Madame Defarge and her knitting
and later when giving Bruce Wayne’s
eulogy
Commissioner Gordon actually reads
directly from the novel it is a far far
better rest that I go to
number four hinting at other villains
from rogues gallery The Dark Knight
franchise what the hell is going on in
the relatively realistic Nolan verse we
met grounded versions of classic Batman
villains of course if you’re familiar
with Batman’s gallery of rogues from the
comics you know that a good number of
them simply don’t fit into the world
Nolan has created regardless of how much
tweaking you do a few such characters
however do seem to have received knowing
winks in the Dark Knight Rises they
asked me if he saw any giant alligators
Killer Croc gets a nod with the giant
alligators rumor while a comment on cryo
sleep serves as an allusion to Mr Freeze
that brings you out of cryo sleep mr.
Wayne in the dark night we even got a
nice little teaser that Bruce Wayne
could tangle with a cat in the future
should you find the case cats and who
could forget mysteries as from Batman
Begins in my opinion mr. zas is as much
a danger to himself as to others number
three the man behind Clayface The Dark
Knight Rises
where does he find me together while
those secondary and off-camera villains
all made for satisfying Easter eggs
it’s the inclusion of John Daggett in
The Dark Knight Rises that proves most
tantalizing clearly inspired by Roland
Daggett from the animated series Daggett
himself is nothing more than a corrupt
business rival of Bruce Wayne’s willing
to get involved with villains to get
ahead so he’s not exactly an a-list
felon by anyone’s standards he can’t get
your money back I can but in the
animated series Daggett was responsible
for creating Clayface the b-list actor
turned shape-shifting criminal and
villain extraordinaire
[Music]
while baguette makes no reference to his
creation within the nolan verse we can’t
help but wonder what’s he been up to
off-screen any little science experiment
I’m a little too good to be true you’re
lying
number two the Joker’s clown mask the
dark night I believe whatever it simply
makes you stranger no one in company
surprised us again with yet another
reference to the bat to seeing Batman
series of the 1960s although this time
it’s with a truly obscure reference that
only the most series of Batman fans
would have been likely to notice in the
opening bank heist scene from The Dark
Knight all of the robbers are wearing
clown masks but the one worn by the
Joker himself has a real history to it
you see back in 1966 in the fifth
episode of the series Cesar Romero’s
Joker dressed up as another clown in
order to take control of a theatre
performance of Pagliacci and these two
masks bear an undeniable resemblance my
mother before we unveil our number one
tick
here are some honorable mentions she was
wearing someone else’s fingerprints good
[Music]
number one a treasure trove of villain
costumes Batman and Robin
Hey Batman and Robin might be the least
popular modern Batman film but we
believe in giving credit where credit is
due and this was one good easter egg
when henchman Bane is tasked with
fetching mr. Freeze’s cryogenics suit he
has to break into the appropriately
titled criminal property locker in
Arkham Asylum had he taken time to snag
a few more items however he could have
made a killing online in that room for
all to see are the Riddler and two-face
respective costumes but that’s not all
in the scene we also see items that
suggested other villains including the
Toyman and the clock King do you agree
