20 Things You Never Noticed In Batman: Arkham Knight Game 

The hallucination of Barbara shooting herself is actually the militia that Ivy knocks out early in the game, in the same room. If you go back to that room later, you can see one of the militia guy sitting dead in the wheelchair. Batman actually watched him kill himself, but his hallucination made him think it was Barbara.

Joker's face getting more healthy as the game progresses is the opposite of Arkham City where his face degrades as the game progresses.

The joker appearing out of no where, the random flying bat that scares you while grappling, the changing of the billboards, such a masterpiece

One that gets overlooked is the Arkham Knights posture. When Jason was being tortured by the joker he had barbed wire over his chest to prevent him from leaning back, and when we actually see the Arkham knight in game u can see his hunched posture, showing the effect of jokers torture to this day and also the amount of detail rocksteady put into this game

Fun fact: in Arkham Knight, you can find a poster for DC superhero Booster Gold somewhere in Gotham, which fits Booster’s character because he wanted to become a superhero for fame. You can also find an ad for Zatanna’s magic show (fitting because she is a magician). Finally, one of Starro’s spores can be found locked behind glass at a Gotham amusement park. It’s labeled as “that starfish freak,” which is fitting because Starro is a star-shaped alien.

I played this game this year. Ended it for about 5 times with different difficulties. GOD, I can't find any other game this much addictive. I'm used to it and I wanna play more like this. But Arkham Knight was way ahead of it's time and It's once a lifetime opportunity. A truly masterpiece

I noticed one another detail while replaying the game recently. During the mission of rescuing the workers from Ace Chemicals, after you rescue the 2nd alive worker and uses the Batmobile to pull up the elevator to get out, the Arkham Knight suddenly attacks you with an unmanned chopper. But if you observe closely, you can see the Knight himself standing on top of the building to your left. After the drones and the chopper are destroyed by Batman, he disappears suddenly.

another thing I find cool is the dialogue from the villains side quests (Penguin, Two-Face etc.) changes depending on whether you complete the mission before or after Batman's identity is revealed

Another is if you look at "Barbra's" dead body you will see in detective vision that there is no spine damage so she was not in the room, and a fun franchise fact is you never fight Harley Quinn as Batman she is defeated by either takedowns (Harley Quinn's Revenge and Knight), it happens off screen (in City by Talia) or it is done in a cutscene (Asylum).

The joker aspect of this game was pure genius. I remember playing the first time and my daughter walked in the room asked “ why are you looking at that statue “ “ could have sworn it looked like joker” I said.

Right after you exit the clock tower at the beginning of the game, you talk to Alfred on that forearm projector. If you move the camera angle towards the left you can see Man-Bat rising into the sky from the area his lab would be. You see him flying in the distance until he reaches pass Panessa Studios and then he just dive bombs right into some building. I just noticed it with my last playthrough just this Halloween. The one I cannot believe I've never seen is Mr Zsasz in that security footage. He just blends in so well.

For the Deadshot shells, it's possible that this is a reused asset from AC's side mission, as one of the first things Batman noticed and pointed him toward Deadshot was the bullet casing that had his name on it

I'm actually impressed with myself the only one I didn't noticed was the Joker looking better the more you advance in the game. But I guess is because I've finished this game at least a dozen of times. Another one I noticed is that after you find out Robin was kidnapped by Scarecrow, if you leave the theater and return later you'll see Red Hood painted his symbol on the floor. Also, when Batman is about to surrender to Scarecrow, just before entering the building you can see another Red Hood symbol on the wall and Batman looks at it for a brief moment.

Anyone else sometimes feel like the Arkham games are too good to be true? These are GOTY contender games about Batman focusing on an original universe and new storyline led by the legendary Conroy and Hamill duo. It's basically the interactive version if the BTAS.

If you didn't know when azreal is given the choice to strike batman down or break the sword, you actually can just walk right out and not pick up the sword

About Oracle's death scene: If you pay attention to the corners of the room you are in, you can actually see fear gas leaking out of some pipes, explaining how the vision of her death was induced

When Harley takes over the movie studios and you have to take back the 3 Jokers, you team up with Robin. Before you really start you get another Joker hallucination. If you switch between Batman and Robin you can see Joker materialize and dematerialize as you switch between the two

I literally just started the Arkham Knight game, so it looks like I’ll be huntin’ Easter eggs tonight!

One of my favorite details in City/Knight is that Two Face has a different voice depending on which side of his face is facing towards the camera. If his good side is facing the camera, it’s Harvey Dent. If it’s his bad side, it’s Two Face. Thought that was a really cool way to portray his split personality.

RIP Kevin Conroy.

One detail i've never seen anyone mention: When you go to the clock tower for the very first time, and then exit it, while Batman is talking to Comissioner Gordon on the comms, you can briefly see Man-Bat flying across the sky in the distance, and then diving down to the streets.

Glad to see that this game is still being talked about Edit: didn't realize that I'd be getting this much likes after a week

I have one that’s gameplay related and it blew my mind when I discovered it. If you play as Red Hood/Arkham Knight, you can quickfire his flashbang grenade with L2+circle/LT+B to stun an enemy from a distance as if you’d approached them and hit circle/B to do a normal melee stun with circle/B (as Batman this button combination is quickfire REC) As you know, up close after a melee stun on an enemy as any character you can execute a beatdown by tapping square/x repeatedly. Same deal with Red Hood and the flashbang. Up close you can follow a flashbang up with a melee beat down if you're close to the stunned enemy. HOWEVER as Red Hood you can also follow up the quickfire flashbang and execute a “beatdown” with his handguns if you're at a distance from the flashbang'd enemy and still immediately follow up with rapidly tapping square/X. If you’re at a distance, Red Hood’s animation will be one of him rapidly alternating gunshots for each press of square/X until the final hit. This animation is similar but indeed different than his quickfire pistols animation, one that like a normal beatdown can be interrupted/stopped by the player. If you’re familiar with “gun kata” it’s reminiscent of that type of movement and posing. In the AR challenge missions the move shows up as a normal beatdown in the score description. It’s cool coming across such a useful, stylish, but completely unlisted move in Red Hood’s kit completely on my own like that. And I didn’t discover it until my third playthrough chasing the platinum trophy and putting more time into other playable characters.

The bust in Bruce's office is an nod to the 60s Batman who used a similar hidden button to open the secret entrance to the cave which consists of a couple of fire poles he and Dick would slide down and when they got to the cave they would be in costume. Weird that sliding down a pole would dress them

In the dlc for Batgirl there is a place you can visit where Starro the Conqueror in sitting in a glass container. Still very much alive. This is scary. The only thing stopping world conquest is about an inch of glass.

I do like how they humanized the criminals that you find all around Gotham it makes the game more like Gotham is a real place with real people i really like that detail

The entire combat mechanics of the Spider-Man games as well as the camera adjustment and compensation is entirely based on batman, it has been years since I played Arkham knight when I played spiderman for the first time, the first thing that popped into my mind was “wow this is the exact same fighting as Batman.”

This game really is one of a kind, from character developement to gameplay, Rocksteady really did an astonishing job on this trilogy, I remember the good old days of 2015 when it came out, what a time it was.

8:06 i heard that as ''criminals and f*cks''

I'm assuming this is well known but If Robin doesn't dodge the attack from the jokerized women he gets a permanent scar that lasts throughout the game

Detail: After you encounter Scarecrow in Stagg Airship 2, if you ignore Scarecrow's warning about Barbara and do something else, when you get to the penthouse Barbara is dead as soon as you get there. (Joker's dialog is altered)

8:34 in the Spider-Man games there is a similar Easter egg that no one seemed to notice on the rpgs that are fired, they read “guaranteed to kill spiders”

I knew most of these. And I absolutely love the Calendar Man one. They really didn't leave anything out with these series. I also love that they went through the effort of doing all the riddler puzzles in the games. I would never find all off them, but the annoying manner in which they keep taunting completionists is incredibly entertaining to me.

6:57 another Easter egg that surprisingly wasn’t mentioned was the missing person poster for Henry Adams, the symptomless joker blood recipient kept in the bat cave at the time of the game.

9:25 That bruised guy it will haunt my nightmares for the rest of my life

One of the greatest games of all time! I’ve never seen a game with so much attention to detail. I notice something new every time I play through it. This game was a decade ahead of it’s time when it released in 2015, and holds up better than games today imo!

My God, it makes me sick. You are so underrated it's unbelievable. You provide so many damn facts. It's insane dude. You have my wishes that you may one day get the appreciation you deserve.

-The begining song when you're cremating the Joker is foreshadowing about how's you're gonna be stuck with him in your head. -In the diner, there's a scarecrow behind 4 bats and 2 ghosts, basically telling you how the game's story goes.

I love how no matter how long ago I played it or how many times, the amount of lore and detail, is never ending and I learn new stuff over and over

This is the only game I 100%. Not only are the side missions fun, but it’s rewarding getting the good ending with all side missions complete.

The Arkham games are just so well made and every single detail is just so good. Also the Easter Eggs in the video are so cool.

When you told me Mark Hamil's name has the word Arkham in it, that blew my mind bit.

I noticed the gun moving the first time I played but I assumed it was just an oversight by the developers Plus I wish someone made a mod where they went through the game files and just permanently enabled all the jokerised objects, so you could just play in a strange city where almost everything had the jokers face or name on it

One of the best Batman stories ever. I loved the dynamic between Joker actually being inside Batman's head and distorting his surroundings like the billboard.

There actually WERE some fun things in here I never noticed! Like how the Riddler's key-game spells out B-A-T-M-A-N, or the Joker getting healthier as the game goes on (seriously how did I miss that!?)

I'm not sure the 'Deadshot' on the shells is meant to be an easter egg, but is rather just the reuse of an asset from Arkham City.

I played the Arkham trilogy during the lockdown in 2020, it was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

It's amazing how much love and attention Rocksteady put into all their Batman games.

Who would have love to see Batman who Laughs and Batman Lantern

8:33 Well guess what Deadshot? You Missed-

Coming back to this game after a while really makes you appreciate how well crafted this game was especially in the current gaming market really hoping for some kind of remaster or continuation of the Arkham series would almost be impossible unless knightwing took up role as Batman as Kevin Conroy is no longer with us R.I.P.

4:20 This is because joker is becoming stronger and taking over argo he is becoming healthier

I've worked to have 8 separate 240% save files for this game, I'm glad it payed out and knew all but two of these (Iceberg lounge sign and Wayne office)

Great video. Personally I never shot any of the diner partrons as Owens because killing in a Batman game even when you're not playing as Batman feels off. A new easter egg was found not too long ago. At the movie studios where Batman and Robin are rounding up the Joker infected, if Batman crouch walks, Robin will copy him. But if you are playing as Robin and crouch walk, Batman won't copy Robin.

In the same scene where Lucious shows Bruce the new Disruptor, if you look in the other Batpod you'll see the Arkham City costume. In the same scene, if you check Bruce's answering machine he receives phone calls from Vicki Vale, Lex Luthor, and Kate Kane (Batwoman).

I wish there were more superhero games like this, with all their classic enemies and teamups

I never knew about the different dialogue lines for the cops talking about Owens. Great attention to detail Rocksteady 👏

I never knew that you could change Owen’s story by never firing a shot in the diner sequence that’s an amazing detail

I like the way you convey information. Nice and fluent.

I just replayed this game this week. This time I pretty much went straight through the main campaign, then the side missions. The dialog is all different when you capture the Most Wanted, most notably Penguin who takes great umbrage against being jailed by the Wayne family. Incredible stuff.

My first playthrough when I saw Barbara in the room dead I think I just sat there staring at the screen in utter disbelief for about 5 minutes. But the city needed me, so I got up and kept going.

Forgot one thing in a part of The story where Batman tells Alfred to launch the bat wing to scan for the cloudburst if you look in the sky for a little bit you can actually see the bat wing flying around the city

If you look closely at Harvey Dent's normal side, you can see the claw marks from when Catwoman scratched his face in Arkham City. Early on, at ACE Chemicals, Arkham Knight tells his men to avoid shooting Batman at the symbol on his chest, saying that it's where his suit is the strongest and that the symbol is meant to be a distraction. This foreshadows later on where Gordon shoots Batman at the Bat symbol on his chest, because he knew that it wouldn't hurt Batman if he shot him there. If it's Halloween day and you have already captured the Man-Bat, you'll find that he has escaped from his cell at GCPD. Furthermore, if you return to his lab, his wife's body will be missing and there will be writing saying "For my love." When you are about to surrender yourself to Scarecrow at the end of the game, you can see a symbol of a red bird on the building. A message for Batman from Jason. This same symbol appears again after the final mission at the Joker Quarantine.

I knew about a couple of these like the Joker healing throughout the game and his face being on billboards. I didn't know the statue and gargoyles switch to him tho. I also knew about the diner worker and customer being in the morgue. All in all great video man!

This is literally the best superhero game ever! These are just such such crazy attention to detail. Awesome to see this game getting recognision 6 years after it's been out!

I knew most of these (love Batman too much), but the ones I didn't know were fascinating. It is truly incredible how much detail Rocksteady implements. Great video as always! 👍🏾

I found one recently. In the flashback with Joker and Barbara, you see an open book on her couch. You can actually read some of the words, and it turns out to be Phantom of the Opera.

That’s amazing how they pay so much attention to the details.. great video!!

One of the saddest things I saw in the game is when the Joker hallucination talked to Batman about what Bruce wanted the most, his parents back and for his city to be at peace.

Ive always loved the batman arkham series i really hope they add another game. Also about arkham knight ive never stopped playing it and never will forget how much of a great game it is

9:07 You missed one. In the first scene inside the Diner, on the refrigerator near the place where officer Owens is sitting, we can see that a missing poster for Henry Adams is stuck.

I've been replaying all the Arkham games and I just refound this channel after so long and it's still just as great as I remember

Well done. I just started playing all four (YES, FOUR. Origins is fantstic) in reverse order and cannot believe how well they hold up I find myself bored about an thirty minutes in on almost all new games. These? The Arkham games, i never get bored

I hope newer games take inspiration to how much work it takes to make a masterpiece like this.

In Paul's Dinner almost everyone is a Rocksteady employee

The bust you can push the head back is a reference to the one in the Adam West Batman show where he pulls the head of the same bust and presses a button to open the door to the Batcave.

I'm so glad I started off my gaming experience with games like the Arkham series and Uncharted. A 10 year old never felt happier!

Great job on this video dude amazing work as always

I didn't know quite a few of these. One you didn't cover was the Ace Chemicals tank battle with the Arkham Knight. During the fight, if you look on top of the main Ace Chemicals building, you can see the Arkham Knight controlling his chopper from the roof, and you can pop him with the Batmobile's riot cannon. It doesn't change the fight in anyway and I don't think there's any change to the story, but the Knight being so cocky and then getting popped with a rubber slug is amusing nonetheless

The PlayStation version of Batman Arkham knight is the superior version graphically over the PC version. It has superior lighting effects/shader/textures. It has superior rain and sea water effects. It has superior reflections through out the world close to raytracing. You also can break most of the glass in windows during fights or by punching the glass. Also you can see bruising and bleeding on the criminals as you beat them and while they're laying on the ground.

The arkham series is literally some of the only good super hero games and has some of the best story telling in gaming

Good list,I believe you missed the subtle details throughout the game hinting towards Batman actually being Bruce Wayne, it's pretty easy to miss though

I knew a good bit of these, but there were some new ones I never noticed. Absolutely amazing, years later, we are all still learning new things about this game.

I always thought that the explosive gel when placed on a wall looked more and more like the joker's smile and less like a bat symbol as the game progress. Maybe just in my mind.

Some were new like the dialog between the two cops at Owen's cell. Thugs with brouses on them, the missing poster, the missiles from the tanks, Barbara Gordon's spin, thug playing catch and exercising, and Batman punching the keypad. By the way I was wondering can you do a video discussing which lantern corp should Miles Morales be in?

Despite the tank issue, this game had an incredible personality. Still have it after 7 years.

A few details (minor and major) i noticed recently was that you can see the batwing searching for the cloudburst just in the sky, its really cool, and its not at an absurd height like out of a skybox, its pretty close to the playable area. The other is the seismic activity before a certain mission, this one is more obvious but i liked how there would be random tremors within the missions area before you did it

As officer owens, when you confront the guy in the diner, look at the table he is sitting at and you will noticed he has scratched anarky’s symbol onto the table

Best one in the series for me, The Joker trolling throughout was both relentless and humorous at the same time. The game entertained to no end and in terms of art, absolutely one of the best looking games ever made in my opinion, detail coming out of the ears. My only real criticisms is that the Batmobile tank battles became a bit tedious after a while, they overly rinsed them. I also thought there could have been tougher stealth set pieces - this is something the whole series failed to do well enough for me. You just never felt you really had to use Batman level intelligence in order to get around complex situations, they were just too easy. Even if you messed up, the game never really punished you for it, you could just destroy hoards of enemies anyway once your cover was blown to no detriment. Could have done with some more boss fights too, that's where Arkham Origins really shone.

I first played a bit of Arkham Asylum in a hospital as a kid, but I played all of Arkham City and genuinely thought "Arkham" _was_ from Mark Hamill's name. In my defense, I was like 12.

3:39 Its literally what happens in the game but the way he says the it kills me 😂

The bust head in Bruce's office and in the clock tower are also throwbacks to the 1960s Batman TV series. Bruce uses the head to hide the switch opening the wall to the Batcave.

The Arkham series is my absolute favourite video franchise. Oh man it’s perfection I just can’t get enough I still play them. Even Origins was awesome. Knight is my personal favourite. I’m so glad at the quality of the Newer Spider-Man games they did an amazing job. But Batman is still at the top the Stories, the Combat, the Characters, the Character designs, the Voice Actors it’s just all amazing to me.

The best thing about Arkham knight is that they made it able to keep punching enemies on the ground that way your combo count doesn’t drop

In one of your clips you went past a building while in the tank, if you look closely look at the name of the place, it’s called queen industries which is green arrows business that he ran. Pretty odd but cool to know their are other characters from the DC universe involved in the Arkham world

3:10 Well I spoiled myself that detail. Damn me for watching vids mid playthrough

My only problem with Arkham Knight is that it had a dissatisfying ending for a game that claimed to be the final entry of the series and yet it didn’t even feel like it ended. They made it open for another adventure

curious note that was missed, if you did shoot but didnt hit anyone, the two officers outside his cell would express how surprised how he didnt hit anyone and couldve lost his job

Needle mouse you are by far my favorite RU-vid channel and. I must compliment you for producing these beautiful and dark Batman videos that is all the more reason why you are now my favorite RU-vidr

thats amazing! never knew any of that, but I just finished off scarecrow so now I need to restart to see all the joker Easter eggs
