Everything GREAT About Batman: Arkham Knight! 

I was about to leave a comment saying that. But props for owning up to it and apologizing. Not that we need an apology, but it just shows your integrity! Edit: Although TECHNICALLY Joker did NOT die at the end of Arkham City. In the New Game+ mode, Joker is ALIVE in the intro. So he didn't die at the end of Arkham City, at least not permanently, but he DEFINITELY died at the beginning of Arkham Knight!

btw you missed a detail when you first enter the dinner you can see the delverper this game

The actual greatest hints that it isn't real as that if you go back to the Chinatown building where Oracle got shot the chair was so be there however it will be Joker in it he'll drop a few hints that Jim might be behind it

So you should probably read the Batman comics because poison ivy hasn't really been a big-time villain for years she's been an anti villain with Harley Quinn all done comic book readers who are Batman fans how can you be Batman fans if you don't even know what you're talking about half the time

@@SamM6599 new game+ is built similar to madhouse difficulty in RE7 cuz its the same story and tweaked gameplay. also this mistake fried 3 of my braincells

*Confused Dom noises

You wrong for that😭

That was SAVAGE!

Lmao! Got 'em!

I say that in my head every time I play through the game.

Joker: Miss me? Me: Mark Hamil??

Reminds me it'd be interesting to list similarities between the Joker of the Arkham games and Moriarty on BBC's Sherlock. Either villain lives on in the detective's mind, ultimately to be buried in subconsciousness as a forgotten prisoner. Either villain also leaves a legacy of evil with a semi-functional network and some unauthorized imitators.

I bet he said that on purpose.

Yes

TBF, having Joker do an entire musical number would be a great way to get Hamill back on board

Far from his best.

@@burner3185 it’s his opinion. Calm down. Even if he objectively states it’s the best doesn’t mean it is.

9999% better than the first game anyways where he talks like he's voicing a videogame character

​@@burner3185at least the gameplay isnt dogshit like in the other arkham games

Maybe a part of Batman feels like he deserves it

;-;

Rest in Peace indeed, this video popped back up in my recommended and I was wondering if anyone had commented anything here. :(

The best one is that the Riddler is so consumed by his Dunning-Kruger syndrome that he still doesn’t believe that’s Batman’s true identity.

the interesting thing is, their voice lines actually differ depending on whether you capture them before his identity is revealed, or after they know he is batman.

@@aaryanramesh7761 Clearly seen with Penguin. Before you beat the game he says something and Batman makes a threat along the lines of "Which one is it? The lockup or the morgue?". Once you beat the game and capture Penguin the guy actually makes fun of Batman and tells him to get a squirrel costume.

@@xavierhernandez-dones4497 and Bruce hints that he isn’t actually dead and is taking a new identity when Penguin asks what costume he’s going to wear now that this has happened, and Batman says, “You’ll see.” Really neat hint at Bruce giving up the helm of Batman to become something far worse. Wonder how they’ll handle it with the Suicide Squad game since we already saw Batman in the Hall of Justice.

@@thegrapethief5514 that’s right! The suicide squad game takes place during the Arkham games! I do wonder how they’re going to make those games connect a bit with Arkham.

if it is black to play black takes the queen with the night and then the bishop slides in and it's checkmate

No matter the move it's still checkmate. Which fits pretty well. Even though Scarecrow was still taken out, he succeeded in tearing down the mantle of Batman after revealing his Identity.

For those interested, look up “The World’s Greatest Chess Game”.

After knight takes queen bishop moves to E7 protected by the knight and the kings escape squares are covered by the knights. So it’s a queen sacrifice checkmate. It’s beautiful

... Nxf6 Be7#

That is fucking insane

It was heavily modified unreal engine 3 borrowing features from 4. So technically it's like unreal engine 3.5 or something. Impressive nevertheless

@@nightblade178 this makes it look like they did it so they can just say "we did it on unreal 3 everybody" still an insane achievemwnt nonetheless

yes and the game was uplayable for a year on pc :/

That is totally insane. I never thought Rocksteady could pull something like this off. I never thought the same engine used in an older game, was used for a newer game. That is quite insane for them.

Black can just take the queen with his knight actually. Still a somewhat working metaphor.

@@LCampbell0728 Whoops, missed that. Although, Black's knight taking the queen could for sure be a metaphor for Jason freeing Bruce from Scarecrow at the end.

@@thegamingknight2096 That's how I took it, which I thought was a very nice little detail.

@@LCampbell0728 I didn't see taking the W.Queen with B.Knight until you pointed it out, and that one move could save the game. I at first saw a no-win scenario for Black until you brought that move up. I saw B.Knight blocks the check from W.Queen, W.Bishop takes B.Knight, Checkmate.

@@TheSacredSavior, while i haven't been looking at the board all that long B.knight to W.queen, is the only way to remove check and White doesn't have another way to place a safe check on the B.king in 1 move and if you look at W.king Blacks Queen and Bishop is limiting its movements down to 2 options ..huh actually black still has all its backline and has only lost 3 pawns while White has lost 2 pawns, 2 rooks and 1 Bishop the current board set-up looks to be in Whites favour Black actually has the stronger options in this game maybe that's what its meant to symbolize that while the current situation looks dire there is always a way to win?

Wouldn't be the first time she got frisky with one of the Bat family.

Fun Fact: people only gave this game hate because it was popular to hate it. Not because they played thru it at all and gave it a chance

@@homelander2243 yeah, it's not like it had major flaws like boring supporting characters, bringing in Jason in the last entry, a reliance on the Batmobile and hands down the worst side quests in an Arkham Game. Still amazing, but imo the worst of the Arkham Games, yes even below Origins.

@@ultrabigfella and what are these “major flaws”? The combat was great, the characters aren’t as bad as your making them at all. “They waited to bring in a highly anticipated character till the last game wahhhh wahhh” like wtf are you even saying? Did you play ANY Arkham game? Like at all? The story’s throughout all 3 were good and matched up flawlessly. The first and last Arkham game to feature the batmobile and you wouldn’t even notice how much it’s used because it’s just good to have it after not having it for 2 games but you wouldn’t know that because you didn’t play them. Y’all talked so much $hit on the batmobile the devs handed over the rights to the game never to make another one again. 👏

@@homelander2243 bro what? What do you mean "WhAt ArE tHeSe MaJoR fLaWs" I literally listed my biggest problems with the game.

Absolutely

Rewatching the video again, I believe that Jim has known Batman and Bruce were the same. Though it’s not explicitly stated, I personally believe Batman told him a while ago. They are friends/allies so it would make sense, at least to me.

I assumed that he knew in city already. But asylum I’m not sure.

"We're the same Bruce" is also said by Jim. edit: "We're the same Bruce we do anything for our family" is the whole thing.

thank you, I was just going to comment this

@@TheMastaCharzangle bro but Gordon refers to Batman as Bruce sometimes

The problem was the boss fights. I was sooo hyped up for the fight with Deathstroke and it ended up as a tank battle. At least AK got a decent fight, even if it is more of a stealthy boss fight

It's because it was used so much

wish they were a bit more obvious these days

Wait this is the most hated game of the series? That's the first time I've heard of it?!

@@jeanetten.s.8557 The pc version launched full of bugs and issues. I personally wasn't even able to fully finish it because i ran into a Riddler puzzle with an elevator that never ended. You can still find articles from 2015 about how Warner was offering full refunds because the pc version was THAT broken. The story was amazing, but if you can't actually PLAY a game...

@@jeanetten.s.8557 The general critisicm given towards the game I've seen is: - Atrocious PC launch. -Overeliance on Batmobile. - The Arkham Knight's reveal being too predictable. I'm don't remember the article, but I remember Rocksteady saying that he would be a completely new character. Hmm... - Several plot point setup in City ending rather anticlimactically. I think Hush suffered the most from this considering how basic his big plan turned out to be. - Bossfights in general were either forgettable mechanically, or a Tank fight, with not much variety. - The fight against Deathstroke ended up being...a tank battle. Considering the fight in Origins, people felt dissapointed with how that turned out. - Overabbundance of DLC without much substance to them (the Season of Infamy DLC was for the most part praised) - Bringing back the Joker yet again after introducing the possibility of a game without him, following City's ending. - Scarecrow can feel like a background character most of the time. Also the whole "City of fear" concept in the 3rd act doesn't really accomplish much for Scarecrow. All he ended up doing is spreading the gas in a city that is mostly left with criminals and not much else. What did he accomplish with that? - Collectibles can feel like too much at times. This is the game with the most Riddler Trophies and biggest map in the series. - The ending was rather controversial at launch. There's no one big issue outside of the Batmobile and the AK reveal, but I think it's just some gripes people have with Knight that piles up and makes it (for them) their least favorite in the series. For me, it's either Origins and Knight, though I always had an appreciation for Origins and there's a lot to like about it. I'm not sure where I lie with Knight, but I do respect it for not playing it safe like Origins did and aiming for being the largest game in the franchise in terms of scope.

He’s referenced it in another video as a Tank Sim. And I think that is a fun little jab at what is I think a great bookend to a fantastic game series.

Same!

it was simply just overused. I would not have a problem with the batmobile, if it wouldn't be necessary for half of the time to either solve a main mission, side quest or all the riddles.

@@DerSisch barely any of the riddles need the batmobile.

@@derpedlerp1237 All main mission riddles need it and at least half of the trophies.

@@DerSisch not all main mission ones.

@@DerSisch there are 4 main ones that don't require the batmobile.

The problem with that, though, is that you might not be able to tell when the music's fully built up and get jumpscared anyway... Speaking from experience (though it probably didn't help that my sound was up, and I stopped shooting Batman statues when the music peaked)

​@@jaminsim5965 I know what you mean even I've messed my strategy up a couple times

I know. Jonathan Banks is simply amazing.

Duuuude I always knew his voice sounded familiar

I never knew that always knew his voice sounded familiar that's amazing

Would love to see that jump scare

I thought the scare was only in Story+

Liar

@@geraldinemccaw7583 And why do you think that?

@@AC4ace ^

If you haven''t seen The Dark Knight Returns, tiss another story where the Joker "wins".

I actually have the opposite interpretation I think this scene finally allows Bruce to move on and give him closure. And Joker inadvertently helped. He thought making Batman “kill” him willingly would make Bruce finally give up. But the thing is once Bruce does it nothing has really changed. He hasn’t become this sadistic monster ready to murder every criminal he sees. He’s still him still himself, still a good man.

@@Ironica82 Debatable. Batman didn’t kill him, far as we know. The only thing that kinda incriminates Bruce is a speech bubble, and that’s by a thread

@@Batman-ro9mj I am talking about the movie (havent read the comics for it). Also. I think you might be thinking of The Killing Joke and not The Dark Knight Returns

@@Ironica82 Nah I know which one you’re talking about dude but even in that the Joker snapped his own neck.

@MortalGamerDC1 85 It really doesn’t feel like a 7 year old game.

Absolutely. I've rarely been in love with a game as much as arkham knight. Sure there's flaws, but what game doesn't? This is a timeless classic

just look at Gotham Knights, a new game yet it looks like it came before Arkham Knight

Playing this game right this second. This time I will definitely do a New Game plus

@@respicio2990 best game ever

Lmao you’ll always be that dad that says “I could of gone pro if I didn’t get hurt”

@@austinbatton4849 lmao for sure was a hall of famer nah it was low level college ball and that's as far as I would have gone

@@kellanskott7324 good to see a football player whose personality isn't just being good at football, wish you the best in your career.

LMAOO SAME EXCEPT I WAS ALONE AND I STILL FELT EMBARASSED😂

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks so. I was scrolling though comments just to see if anybody commented how good the Batmobile was

Great addition, but they forced you to play 43% of the game in it. Too much.

@@matthewlatham3605 same

​@@matthewlatham3605 this is the batmobile we need adapted onto the big screen. Why hasnt WB or movie execs realized this???? Its the best batmobile ever

@@burner3185 well rather than previous non arkham games where all bat mobile section is always just racing shooting galery all over again

Legit was gonna post the same thing. Finally, everything great about Arkham Knight!

It’s satisfying

Half the population turns to dust lol

Ikr it's soooo good.

@WiiManElite This word gets used so often in comics, movies or even games - it's crazy. Even in the Avengers game this word is used by heroes and villains so often, you have to wonder if the writers are just lazy at this point.

Inevitabababbillilililititty

There's a trend in different Batman stories where he takes a punch from an angry ally just once, but warns him coldly not to do it again. This is a neat, little exception. :-)

Bats knows he fucked up big time, so he was probably thinking "ya know, I deserved that"

This sounds really stupid, but for a moment all I could imagine was Bruce literally eating the punch. Like, he unhinges his jaw and just consumes Gordon's fist 😂

Then Gordon stops being angry and confused af

It's not just because he knows a father's anger, it's also because Bruce respects and cares for Jim because Jim took care of him when his parents were killed and they were waiting for Alfred, Jim let him escape when the gcpd were after him and because Jim also always fights for what's right. He respects Jim and cares for him

The nitpiking is the worst thing internet had invented

Yes. It gets so exhausting with all the nitpicking. This game was definitely incredible.

@@everburn small flaws turns into the big flaws to justify why they hate certain game is so annoying, especialy if the reason is stupid, ir same reason buy stupid explanation

Definitely not nitpicking fam I thought the plot coulda been way better and I didn’t mind the Batmobile being in the game but having it be involved in majority of the missions just wasn’t it for me especially the Arkham Knight and Deathstroke boss fights

@@mar2fire a lot of the missions don't require the batmobile.

same

You should also play Origins if you haven't already

Same I started here and went back and just with how smooth the gameplay is it makes this my favorite even if I like some parts of the other games a little more. Overall I like knight the most

Which game is your favourite so far

Arkham Knight is also my first Arkham game, I have to say it is my favorite out of the two, I liked the fact it had longer gameplay, where as the other two were short I mean it took me three days to complete both games (aside from the Riddler puzzles). The only thing I wish Arkham Knight had compare to the other two were better boss fights and being able to swap and freeroam between any of the playable characters like in Arkham City.

Try playing it on a PC damn mouse helps a bit but still if my w finger gets even a little tired down goes the car

Xbox races are a bit meh, I have season pass, so I have cool races.

i liked those tbh

Riddler's races were cool, except the last one, fuck the last one (Condemned was named I think?) all my homies hate Condemned

@@maetheron1160 I definitely agree that Condamned was downright one of the worst parts of the game. I liked the first race, actually, and I'm pretty peeved at the second one. I actually beat it with the Keaton Batmobile.

It’s fake

It does look like Batman rolls with the punch, either intentionally or because of the mocap's motions, but still, that thing is hard enough for Batman to crack skulls with it _and_ has a bunch of super delicate tech inside that never breaks, Jim throwing a haymaker at it and not end up monopleghic is amazing.

Same.

Ouch....

agreed!!

The problem is that fans believe Arkham is made specifically for ultra fans, and if you don't know all the characters you don't deserve to play As someone who prefers Batman alone or with only Jim (I don't like the Robins or alternate Batpeople), I didn't expect Jason Todd. It's not my fault that others are so obsessed over Red Hood that the second any passing reference to a character hating Batman is made, they instantly assume it's him My only complaint is that Rocksteady lied by saying the Knight was a brand new character, but tbf bringing in a new character for the last game of the series is dumb

@@memememe609 yah them saying he was brand new was kinda dumb. But I mean they were TECHNICALLY telling the truth lol.

@WiiManElite cause I didn’t watch the trailers, and because they can introduce Jason at any point, with everything that was happening it makes sense for Jason flashbacks to come back. After like the 2nd or 3rd flashback I had a pretty good idea but still wasn’t concrete, it wasn’t till the scene where Gordon is captured that I was like oh yo it’s Jason, which is then revealed like 2 minutes later lol. Idk I really like the red hood story line so for them to take a different take to it made me happy.

But with 2 moves (and the king does have this luxury) the Bishop on the back row (Todd) could save him from the other Bishop or the Knight and allow the king to squeeze itself free. Also, there is another knight which does reach the King if it moves to that square.

@@MrKlausbaudelaire true true, good catch.

I love you both

Yeah. It's actually checkmate no matter what

@@MrKlausbaudelaire how?

It would make Todd a little more forgivable if he faked the threat of Fear Gas but Scarecrow betrays him to make it real. They could have even added a fake Scarecrow with Arkham Asylum costume to fool us and when we take him down and remove the mask, TADAAAA its not Scarecrow! And the real one steps in later on.

Fair point. It might have helped had he not straight up murdered people. Putting people in harms way without actually killing them (intentionally at least) would probably have done the trick of having us take the Knight seriously as a threat to Batman without making us hate him. However this does take away from the ultimate victory of both Joker and Scarecrow. We need to feel the loss of the Batman and the weight of the walls closing in around him for the conclusions payoff to mean something.

@@Shapes_Quality_Control, I get that. It's just a frustrating story for me overall. It's better than the sum of its parts for me :)

Well unlike the usual Jason who dies a hero and is resurrected as a villain this Jason never died and instead was manipulated into growing much angrier and spiteful towards Batman as well as growing more into a villain

@@MrKlausbaudelaire That's kinda what happened in the beginning where you had to pick one of the two scarecrows and neither one was correct and he escapes

I play it just for shark. The rest is bad but shark is an angel

"This is how it happened this is how the Batman died" 😢

Nothing has ruined it, the Arkham community has collectively agreed to decanonize SSKTJL from the Arkhamverse.

​@bearpoop720 and they better make sure that Sucide Squad is just a nightmare that need to be buried
