Batman: *breathes* Riddler: My Intellect is FAR superior than yours Batman.

This channel has singlehandedly revived my intense passion for the Arkham series.

Campaign for Disarmament needs to be higher for one reason “The bomb’s payload is exposed. I can use the power winch, to trigger a controlled explosion.”

Gonna be honest, hearing Batman say “ *_No._* “ in the most disappointed tone, like a mildly irritated father on a Monday morning is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.

The reason Riddlers sections never bothered me is because Arkham has one of the best adaptations of the riddler and Wally Wingert always nailed it and was consistently entertaining but annoying enough to make defeating Nigma very satisfying.

"Jingle bells, batman smells" "N O"

Another great thing about Bane's City sidequest is that if you visit Bane during Protocol 10 you'll get to fight some Tyger soldiers with him

i remember azreal and hush’s side missions in city gave such an anticipated mystery of what could be next, it was so exciting back in the day

I think the best part about Cold Call Killer for me personally was learning how Zsasz became the way he is. It’s honestly amazing what the VA did, how he went and counted and yelled “A damn seven” caught me off guard since he was super cold before in Arkham Aslyum. The quest itself was pretty fun but learning how Zsasz is the way he is is why I also consider it the best side mission.

Line of Duty is my favorite Arkham Knight mission. The fact that it starts as just a normal search and rescue, only for it to develop slowly into a genuinely interesting story with an interesting villain who did a bad thing for a good reason. I loved it when I realized there was a story, especially when the guilty captain gets into the Batmobile and solemnly says “Wow, a ride in Batman’s car. My daughter would be jealous.” Just shows that he is a normal guy and feels bad for what he did. I think that mission is criminally underrated.

The heir to the cowl is probably one of the hardest side mission when you’re playing on knightmare/new story+

The most annoying thing with the side Missions in Knight is that you can find many things, including Pyg's location as soon as you're out of ACE (before that even gliding you are restricted to Bleake Island) but you can't do anything about it because either you can't get the Batmobile to the location or you need a gadget you don't have yet. It forces you to go back to the main campaign even if you want to focus on the side content, it's part of why I like the Two Face chain; you can complete the entire chain all in one go.

If anyone is interested this is my ranking that I made a couple months back 😂 1. The Mad hatter AO 2. Enigma conundrum AC 3. Deadshot AO 4. Cold call killer AC 5. Riddlers Revenge AK 6. Identity theft AC 7. Shot in the Dark AC 8. A Perfect Crime AK 9. Heir to the Cowl AK 10. Two Faced Bandit AK 11. Anarky OC 12. Gunrunner AK 13. Occupy Gotham AK 14. Creature of the Night AK 15. Gotham on fire AK 16. Watcher in the wings AC 17. Own the roads 18. Fragile alliance AC 19. The tea party AC 20. Ar training AO 21. Ar training AC 22. The Line of Duty AK 23. Shiva AO 24.

Acts of violence AC 34. Armored and Dangerous AK

17:47 I always wonder who Riddler is apologizing to in the scene. Part of me likes to think his day job was being a waiter and he just spilled a hot coffee on someone. He may be an egocentric narcissist but even he has to pay the bills.

RIP for Kevin Conroy. Truly a legendary man and the true batman.

Here’s something that could’ve been pretty cool for Heart of Ice. Imagine if you had to go and interrogate joker thugs until they gave you Nora’s location. Then by using his comes he calls Mr. freeze and tells the cold hearted scientist where to meet him. Then you break into the base where, which is filled to the brim with joker thugs. Your first task is to silently take down the guards from outside the building. Then when you enter the strong hold you learned that it was a trap. Sure Nora is there but there are several armed gunmen, A few titans, and no clear escape route for the dark Knight is the all have their weapons trained on them and there’s no gargoyles to quickly grapple away to. But just when all hope is lost, you see one of the weaker walls of the building begin to freeze as victors smashes it open. Now instead of fighting Mr. freeze as you did earlier you’re fighting alongside him, as the two of you take down this huge cluster of goons. We know this is possible since a similar thing happens with being in his campaign, so I think this could be rather neat to see. Perhaps Victor could even freeze a few of the enemies to allow you to do quick take downs on them? In the end not only does this make the quest that much more interesting but it saves you the trouble of having to run all the way back to the old GCPD just to run all the way back to the amusement mile.

Anarchy is my favourite mission. His dialogues are just so good. He was a red hood of Arkham origins. Bombs are tense and the final battle is pretty fun with Molotov’s and final punch after defeating every enemy except anarchy

Fun fact about my first playthrough of Arkham City, I never knew you could move the thing to track him so I just listened, and if you get every phone without getting full tracking it just gives it to you

You don’t even have to destroy the Cobra tanks with Deathstroke, just wait for him to spawn, boom boom, done

When riddler had a better boss fight than deathstroke in Arkham knight…

I know it's not a proper side mission, but I was a little upset to not see Asylum's Riddler on this list.

I dunno, the entire point with Azreal was that he was training himself to be Batman, so him being different would kind of go against the storyline. Unless you maybe had him get easier take downs or something but more opponents, make it that he's more uncaring about the thugs? I dunno.

While having the most riddler trophies, Arkham City’s was by far the most enjoyable Riddler experience

Its funny you mention the deacon blackfire mission, Im replaying to 100% arkham knight for the last time and I noticed while standing around jack Ryder in gcpd if you listen to the radio, Ryder is interviewing a man whose a sewer worker hearing voices like chanting from the sewers that have been getting louder over about the course of a year. He figures its why the homeless of gotham have been going missing. At the time I was preoccupied listening to jacks mouth aftet barbra was kidnapped. but jack even ask at the end of it "what do you have going on now blackfire?"

I'm sad that they didn't put much thought into Deathstroke it's just a simple tank fight and when he finally wants to fight, batman somehow takes him down from one leap from his car

Regarding "Remote Hideaway", the only good thing about it is trying to figure out who fixed the intricate glass floor that Penguin blew up before the Grundy fight.

That jingle bells exchange with Batman in Origins had me CACKLING. Probably one of the funniest things in the entire series

When he said it’s punchin time I really felt that

just firing it here for the escaped convicts in origins, I agree that there should have been fewer of them, but to make up for it, maybe they could have had their own unique stories with different situations? like as an example you could have one guy boasting about how he's free and he pretty much outs himself, while another keeps low key and you have to use detective mode to locate him something like that could have made things a bit more interesting imo, but the batman smells line always gets me lmao

Man-Bat had an Easter egg where if the date was Halloween he’d be seen scaring you again on Miagani Island and then you can go back to the station and see he escaped from the cell.

I’m kinda surprised to see Cold Call Killer in number 1, definitely not one of my tops but it is a good mission. The Perfect Crime will forever be my favorite for how absolutely eerie it is from start to finish, and how you genuinely probably won’t know who the villain is even as a huge Batman fan.

“I swear it’s not my City bias.” (Proceeds to rank #1 based of his City bias)

Cold Call Killer actually had me nervous all the time and creeped out man. Every time I would hear that phone rang, I’d get chills and not pick it up

You should rank every character in the Batman Arkham series That would be a sick video that you could use to give your full on opinion on all the characters but it would be a very long and difficult video to make so I can only hope I can see a video like this one day

Cold call killer always terrified me when i first played arkham city, being that I was not that old. I ran away every time i heard the phone ring it was so creepy.

This ranking is so much fun! (Much like most of your videos). Always love to revisit these games both in videos and by playing the games themselves. So glad you help keep it alive! I definitely might have to rank these missions myself someday. I gotta say my favorites include Mr Freeze in Knight, the Crime scene investigations in Origins, The Perfect Crime and Two Faced bandit as my all time favorite

I JUST recently completed the ‘A Friend in Need’ and while I was disappointed that Hush was reduced to this after such a cool reveal in City, and I did guess that Batman would unmask to reveal his identity, but I really liked that that actually happened and Hush was so shocked. Increasing the number of people who knows Batman’s identity adds a higher level of stakes since Batman tells Alfred he’ll have to lock up Hush himself. It was okay, but surprised to see it ranked where it was

Oh god, he’s been sponsored by raid! Run for your lives!

33:30 I never knew that right side was open lmao I always spent like 10 minutes timing it with the remote batarangs

To tell you how bad Bird was I did the mission a few months back, and I didn’t even realize I took down Bird almost right away until after the fight was over. I thought he was sitting back like Anarchy was, but then the cutscene started.

I actually really like the riddler challenges bc I’m a bit of a completionist, and the puzzles are actually fun, and the dialogue/interaction with riddler are fantastic. (Great voice acting)

Thank you ClownPuncher, I’ve always looked for a ranking of all arkham side missions but you are the only RU-vidr I’ve found who made one. I will always appreciate your content regardless of what you make and I’m hyped for the slay sum of arkham knight this year.

Great Video, as always! I really liked how high you put the Riddler missions. They’re phenomenal missions and deserve more credit for how well they portrayed the Riddler.

I was having the worst day at work, immediately cheered up after getting home and seeing you upload this king of a video :)

Holy CRAP Clownpuncher! every side mission ranked, amazing job. You’re one of my favourite creators, so underrated.

I am always impressed on how you consistently make such well-made and entertaining videos! Keep up the amazing work.

Riddler from Arkham asylum has left the chat

A part of what made me love Cold Call Killer was the inmates talking and being scared of answering the phones

I’m very proud of myself

“Pyg: Don’t… Don’t give Pyg second, mother won’t be pleased…”

probably the most underrated channel on youtube, please keep it up i always look forward to your videos man!

Fun Fact I found while playing Fragile Alliance in Arkham City: If the Titan is destroyed before Wonder Tower is destroyed, Tyger Guards ambush Bane and Batman. If after, a bunch of Joker thug prisoners ambush you and Bane instead. Fun little thing I realized while playing recently.

Fun fact actually if you throw a baterang at Azrael you get and achievement and he catches it.

I love your content, clownpuncher, I’m always excited when I see you’ve uploaded a video

Your channel single-handedly made me get all the Arkham games. 😊

I love the Azreal one cause it's literally Joshua Graham ( the amazing voice talent Keith Szarabajka) telling you you can't expect god to do all the work.

Awesome list dude, agree with for the most part, theres a few i'd shift around based on persoanl preference. for example I'd put The Line of Duty and Gotham on Fire a little higher cause I really like rescuing the Firefighters after Firefly attacked them and allowed them to be kidnapped, also showing us why Firefly was specifically attacking the fire stations, and the driving around waiting for Firefly to run outta fuel. And I like firefly's summer outfit, the pyromaniac wearing a tank top because of the summer is endlessly funny to me. Also loved the sponsor part man, it's hella funny

I was just searching for this the other day. Thx

These videos never fail to respark my love for these games

YES! THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THE AR CHALLENGES AT THE BOTTOM! I HATE THEM SO MUCH!

Thing that annoyed me about perfect crime was that 300 people that were missing had been bitten by a shark and had a third nipple and then had to scan their fake ear to narrow it down to 1 person.

I got to be honest I think the man bat mission is kind of overrated. Yes the jump scare is great and sometimes if I’m not paying attention while replaying the game it can still make me jump a bit. However at least to me there’s really no challenge in catching the flying rat. Maybe if your last encounter with him had some sort of mid air bottle of some kind it would be cooler. I will ever I do give it bonus points for the secret Easter egg in which if you play Arkham Knight on Halloween after you’ve finish his side quest you can get jumpscared once again and when you go back to GCPD he’s escaped. I don’t know if it’s Canon Batman that escaped but I like to think it is just so I can imagine Red Hood or Robin having to deal with that creature sometime in the future

I noticed that in Line of Duty if you have Season of Infamy installed any rescued firefighters will disappear after the GCPD Assault. The only way to keep the firefighters with season of Infamy installed is rescue ALL OF THEM after the assault on GCPD.

Love the Bill Cipher shirt at the talking about Raid part.

honestly i loved armored and dangerous. I found ramming them into eachother and blowing them uo and running straight through them like Christian Bale Batman so fun. It never got old for me.

aint no way I just watched 46 minutes of this without realizing how long it was

Just replayed Arkham knight a few weeks ago thank u for satiating my needs of Arkham related content

I’m sick and I’m so glad you uploaded today

I loved the azrael mission in arkham city and when i got that call from Alfred about the burning bat signal it made me so happy

I've come a long way in Arkham. From getting lost in the Headquarters of GCPD in Knight, to being able to beat the rest of the game. and in City, I was getting trophies by fighting.

Props to the thug with the balls to sing that version of Jingle Bells to Batman's face.

17:41 I always found it funny how Enigma became self-aware and apologized when he literally broke down the 4th wall XD

City's riddler mission is my favorite riddler in terms of story and trophies. I loved rescuing hostages

i was hyped for this video

Honestly, I agree with Deathstroke's tank battle being ranked so low. It feels like a lazy repeat of the Cloudburst tank battle. you take out a few Cobra tanks, then shoot the main tank while dodging its shots

You deserve more sub's love your content

I would say the reason you don't like line of duty as much is why i like it. I like in arkham we see so many aspects of whats left of gotham have been destroyed or taken and batman alone is trying to undo all of that by himself. I think its really engaging, hearing chatter about the firefighter then pinpointing that. I really did enjoy it, along with the predator sections, and generally when you are starting the game you find a few of the easier fights here and there which helps you get used to the combat. well, thats what happened to me anyway.

I hate the zasz missions. It's just gliding from wherever you are to some arbitrary spot across the map from you. The actual call sections are good though the storytelling is great but the actual gameplay sections are easily the worst part in my opinion.

5.Crime scenes (Arkham Origins) 4.Identity theft (Arkham City) 3.Anarky (Arkham Origins) 2.The perfect crime (Arkham Knight) 1.Watcher in the wings (Arkham City)

Another ClownPuncher classic. I binge these videos all the time when I’m getting ready for work, gym, etc x

I really enjoyed this video. And I like the varying opinions. For me Cold Call Killer is the reason I don’t get over 90% in Arkham City because I don’t even start the mission because of my disdain for the mission. 😂

I honestly wonder how he feels knowing that he makes many people smile And if he doesn’t know that he does, he does now

I don’t know if you’ve done it but could you rank every first and final mission in the Arkham games? Like for example in Asylum, the Asylum escapades in Asylum and Guard Titans and Titan Joker, Bruce being escorted through AC and Joker The Immortal, Blackgate and Blackgate, Officer Owens and saving the officer and the final confrontation with Scarecrow

Let's FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! My boy got a sponsor again. You deserve it bruv. Love your content

Btw youre my favorit arkam chanel kep up the good work

This is just my take on some of the missions: 1.) Deadshot in City was improvising and therefore couldn’t get into an environment where he’d be able to take advantage of his skills. 2.) Azrael in Knight is just straight up using Batman’s fighting style, hence why there’s no real difference.

Your one of my favorite RU-vidrs

Zsasz is my all time favourite Batman rogue, nice to see the ranking you gave him.

Just to point out that the AR Glide challenges in Origins are required for the Dark Knight challenges, so if you want the Dark Knight costume (which is the best costume in the series, fight me), you need to do them.

The thumbnail is spot onnnn

i watch all your videos they are good and chill to watch

Having discovered you recently, I've been enjoying these ranking videos. I've been curious if you ranked all the main levels of each game, and haven't found a list like it in your videos, so let me ask here. Have you made a ranking videos of all the main areas of each game, such as City's Iron Mill, Museum, Wonder Tower and Knight's Airship, Militia Base, etc?

Keep going king

I love that u gave zsasz the respect he deserves. He's my favourite of all Batman's villains and he's a really interesting character. in fact his appearance in Arkham city is what introduced me to his character and the more I found out about him, the more interested I got. to anyone reading this I recommend checking out his comic book appearances, especially the page where he mentions the spot he's saving for the batman!

Amazing video yet again.

Love the video clownpuncher.I feel like you should do a batman telltale series review. Possibly later on do a ranking on each episode from least to best in your personal opinion for the telltale series.

I HATE armored and dangerous for how damn fast the APCs are; if you fudge a few turns they just get miles ahead of you and you end up desperately eeking out a few drops of boost to try and catch up. APCs are heavy armored vehicles designed to protect troops as they travel around, they aren't built for speed and certainly shouldn't be able to outpace a custom built rocket propelled vehicle designed for pursuit, like the batmobile.

I love the Riddler side missions! Riddler is my favorite villain in these games!

I replayed Arkham City many many times largely just to do the Riddler rooms. They were fun even when I knew exactly how to do everything.
