The First Watchtower

Your guide to The Watchtower in Batman: Arkham Knight. Learn about this Justice League headquarters and its role in the game.

The Watchtower

Hey there, Bat-fan! So, you're probably wondering about The Watchtower, right? Think of it as the Justice League's super-secret, high-tech hideout way up in orbit. It's basically their main base of operations, a giant platform circling the Earth. They use it to keep an eye on everything and everyone, ready to jump into action if trouble brews.

You might see a mini-model of it at the Hall of Justice, giving you a sense of its scale. It's pretty wild to think about Batman himself footing the bill for its construction, setting up that whole crime-detection network. Pretty cool, huh?

Now, things get a bit dicey in the game's story. With the Justice League captured by Brainiac, the Watchtower was left empty. But don't worry, they do get rescued, and it's possible they'll be using it again. Keep an eye out for it!

Trivia

• Batman funded the Watchtower and its crime-fighting tech.
• It was abandoned when Brainiac imprisoned the Justice League.
• There are some wild alternate realities (Elseworlds) where Brainiac messes with the Watchtowers, even using them to hunt across dimensions!
