** The Killer Serial Creep turns Swagger into a mishmash of various ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' enemies: he wears the Army surplus outfit and glasses of ''Film/TheBatman2022'''s incarnation of the Riddler, has filthy bright-red lipstick like ''Film/TheDarkKnight'''s version of the Joker, and his head is wrapped up in bandages, much like the Calendar Killer from ''ComicBook/TheLongHalloween'' and Hush, one of Batman's newest archnemeses.

** Along with DevelopmentGag: there was a ''Zombies'' mode proposed for ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyModernWarfare2019'', which even received concept art and focused on soldiers (either Barkov's gang or the US Military) weaponising zombies; here, the Zombies mode revolves around the cast from ''2019'' trying to prevent Zakhaev from weaponising Aetherium and zombies.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtEvolution: As time went on, more and more deluxe skins were outright silly, futuristic, out-of-genre, or unrealistic; compare the MythologyGag remake of [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyInfiniteWarfare E3N]] being more like modern-day armor that only suggests a robotic aesthetic to later skins that ''are'' robots, like the Cyber Junkie or Scorpio Scout skins, the {{crossovers}} with shows like Series/TheBoys that has an aesthetic subverting that of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse or TabletopGame/Warhammer40000's over-the-top mashup of every sci-fi work there ever was, or even celebrities like Creator/NickiMinaj or Creator/SnoopDogg.
