Special backgrounds
Unknown unlock conditions, drop me a tweet if you have any of those unlocked and what conditions you fulfilled to unlock them.
After much research I've come to the conclusion that these backgrounds are either super special and awarded directly from WB as a prize or something or they were cut from the final game.
