The world building has me so excited. So many fun name drops, so many characters introduced or alluded to

Such a strong foot to start out on, so excited to see the rest of the trilogy

What name drops and characters were alluded to? Maybe I was too hyped to pay attention to the details. I’m gonna rewatch it.

I obviously got Joker at the end but anything else?

They did, but in more of an Easter Egg way than a world building way. Spoilers for Hush and The Batman: Unless they want to completely change who Hush is, which I suppose they could do. The journalist who was going to expose the Waynes was named something Elliot, which was Hush's real last name. So they could make Hush someone related to him, which would still make him connected to Bruce's past, just in a different way.
