What if I were to tell you that Spider-Man had a very brief cameo inThe Dark Knight? You’d think me crazy, I bet.
Well, according to an eagle-eyed vieweron Reddit, it seems this is indeed the case, as aSpider-Man 3poster is seen in the distant background of a shot from the film.
Batman recently got the VR treatment on Meta Quest 3 withBatman: Arkham Shadow.
It’s a real ‘blink, and you’ll miss it’ kind of shot, and even then, you’ll have to squint or have the expert enhancing equipment fromCSI.

It takes a second user jumping in to show the scene in question andanother blurry angleof theSpider-Manposter.
“Timetable lines up.Spidey 3came out summer of 2007, right when they were shooting much ofThe Dark Knightin Chicago,”confirms another user, popavich.
It’s an interesting little detail to spot because you can be sure it’s unlikely we’d see this kind of thing nowadays.

Another lovely little comic book detail for the enthusiasts out there, though you have to wonder whether the crew just blanked on it being there or if it was just the done thing to rep another superhero film.
Of course, both films come from a time before the superhero rush in Hollywood and it’s good to see something so novel.
