The Credits Aren't Actually The End

Let the credits roll, go back home, and choose to sleep, and you'll get one extra scene: Thor shows up on the doorstep in the middle of a violent thunderstorm. It's a quiet little tease for the sequel that plenty of players never bother sticking around to see.

The Mount Chiliad Mural

Inside the cable car lift station at the top of Mount Chiliad, players can find a strange painted mural showing a UFO, a cracking egg, and a figure using a jetpack. The mural fuelled one of gaming's longest-running community investigations, spawning an entire subreddit dedicated to decoding it.

The Prison Exteriors Were Filmed at a Real Indian Fort

The pit prison itself was a built set, but the exterior shots around it were filmed at Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, India, giving that isolated, ancient look to the place where Bane grew up and where Bruce ends up trapped.

Big Smoke's Voice Was a Movie Veteran

Big Smoke, the lovable-turned-treacherous Grove Street member, was voiced by actor Clifton Powell, who also appeared in Menace II Society, one of the films that shaped San Andreas's whole tone. His delivery of lines like the drive-thru order became one of the most quoted moments in the game.

Barry Keoghan's Joker Nearly Got Cut Entirely

That brief, unsettling Arkham scene where Keoghan's scarred prisoner chats with Riddler almost didn't make the final cut of the movie. It's easy to miss on a first watch, but it's the character's first live-action appearance in this new universe.

McCartney's Shelved Musical Suite

'Hope for the Future' was originally part of a larger orchestral suite McCartney composed for Destiny called 'Music of the Spheres.' Bungie shelved the full suite during development, and it wasn't released to the public until 2018, bundled with vinyl preorders of a Destiny soundtrack collection.

A Full-Scale Fleet for Season 1

For the first season the production didn't stop at one hero ship, they built life-size versions of the Going Merry, Shanks' Red Force, and Alvida's duck-shaped Miss Love Duck, all constructed on the same lot in Cape Town.

Their Weapons Were Never Really a Gift

The Barrows equipment that made the six brothers seem practically unbeatable in battle wasn't blessed by Saradomin at all — it was handed to them by Sliske, and it came with strings attached that none of them realised until it was far too late to back out.

Harrow's Bracelets Aren't Just Decoration

Arthur Harrow's whole look was built around old cult leader imagery, right down to his rust-coloured linen robe and oversized woven sandals. He also wears two bracelets on screen that are lifted straight from ancient Egyptian art symbolising death.

Not Every Bridge Is the Golden Gate

Everyone assumes the Gant Bridge is a Golden Gate clone, and it is, but the Garver Bridge over in the same area is actually modeled on the Forth Road Bridge near Edinburgh. Makes sense once you remember a big chunk of the dev team was working out of Scotland.
