Look, I'm not going to lie, this is very silly. But I got some really stunning screenshots, so I can't resist the excuse to show you this.

It's a mod for Batman: Arkham Knight that replaces the Dark Knight's freeze-blast gadget with a can of Dr. Pepper, created by a modder named MrBinks, who usually dabbles in suit mods but has a certain traumatic It was created before I experienced a soda-related event. This question has been buzzing around message boards and comment sections for years, if not decades.

"That is exactly how our wonderful Dark Knight rehydrates," rants MrBinks. 'He quenches his thirst with this beautiful drink in the name of revenge ...... He sees a thirsty thug and sends a can of icy cold, refreshing Dr. Pepper flying at 112 mph (faster than a baseball player) directly into their mouths." This person may need help. Selfishly, I hope they never get it.

Like the Fallout 4 mod that did nothing but kill you before the intro was over in order to maintain "realism," Dr. Pepper belongs to a category of user creations whose influence far exceeds the scale of their ambition. Watching Butts pose with a can of soft drink is like stumbling upon a relic of a 90s ad campaign that never made it to air.

If, in the year 2024, you're interested in modifying Dr. Pepper's can into Batman: Arkham Knight, good for starters, you can do it with the TFC Installer. Just point that tool at the Arkham Knight directory and point it at the mod folder. Don't forget to hydrate.
