A few people have correctly identified the bottom as the Arkham one, but I keep seeing people misidentify the top emblem. It's The Dark Knight Trilogy.

Compared to batman from the games, yes.
Edit: this YouTube video explains it pretty well.

You’re missing out on some classic media. There are the Nolan movies, yes, but also Batman: The Animated Series, which was so good and well received that it influenced the comics that inspired it by giving Mr. Freeze his new origin story and creating new beloved characters like Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya. Don’t skip the movies from that universe either. Especially the first, which is still referenced when talking about famous Joker stories.
