Even with a concept as imaginative and wonderful as that found in the Bioshock games, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the goddamn Batman thought of it first:
As The Geekosystem helpfully put it while comparing Bioshock to the plot of the the "Deep Freeze" episode of the pitch-perfect 90s Batman animated series:
To recap:
Underwater city
Art Deco architecture
Villain with Randian motivations
Brainwashed citizenry
Automaton guards; extreme violence against said guards
Promised technological salvation that goes wrong
As much as I love Bioshock
(More than is strictly healthy, just for the record)
I will always feel like there's something missing from now on.
A certain Batman-shaped something.
