How Much of Batman: Arkham City Can You Complete as Bruce Wayne? 

As was pointed out by @davidhall7479, there is a Riddler trophy underneath the casino that can be collected that I didn't mention in the video. Normally to collect this trophy you have to step on a Riddler pad to lower a gate and then use the line launcher to get to the trophy without touching the ground. However, if you just punch your way off instead of walking off then the button never deactivates, allowing you to punch all the way to the Riddler trophy and collect it. I didn't know this glitch was a thing until this was commented, so there may be even more Riddler trophies that I overlooked. I'll have to do some more testing and maybe make a part 2 to this video if I find anything. Also, for anybody wondering, it is possible to put the batsuit on and progress the game as normal after doing this glitch. In the video I show that if you reload the game after collecting a certain Riddler trophy, the game respawns you in the alleyway. If you can't get back that way, then @TheWaffleEdits has a video on his channel showing a route you can take to get back into the alley. Then from there you can climb ACE Chemicals, put on the batsuit, and go about the game as normal Link to Waffle Edits' video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DED8dYmSP0E.html

Riddler must be going nuts seeing Bruce Wayne casually collecting his “genius” trophies

finally, Man Arkham CIty

This marks "Arkham City" as the first videogame that truly makes you feel like Bruce Wayne.

PLOT TWIST: You're _always_ playing as Bruce Wayne.

My lore for this run is that the Bat-suit can't enter Arkham City because anti-aircraft guns so Bruce risks it in his normal suit. He then gets shot by Two-face and dies instantly (his spirit haunts the court house to this day)

"I am the rich, i am the playboy, i am Bruce Wayne!"

Dude out here be playin Assassin's Creed in Arkham with all these parkour tricks.

Dr Strange "I know you're Batman" Bruce: "I don't need that suit then"

I wanna see this done with a mod to swap back and forth in order to break the softlocks and see how much _in total_ can be done by Bruce Wayne, using Batman only to do what Bruce can't.

9:44 The reason you had the option to "Pounce Attack" is quite possibly because the game thinks "he is not Batman so he must be Catwoman"

Riddler watching Bruce Wayne collect all of his trophies that he hid for Batman:

I'm just imagining an AU where Bruce does literally everything in AC ('cept for carrying Joker's body out, he's somehow in costume by then) as... well, himself. The GCPD gets access to all of the camera feed from Arkham City for invstigative purposes somehow, expecting to see Batman whooping ass as usual... only to see Bruce Wayne, fancy suit and all, stomping literally every single threat into the ground. The freakout they'd have would be amazing. Can't even imagie how Gordon would react lol.

I always wanted a Bruce Wayne costume just for fun, like it has everything Batman can do but you’re just Bruce lmao

“ITS BRUCE WAYNE!!!”

Small correction: You CAN take fall damage as Bruce without glitches. After you climb the building where you talk with Alfred but before contacting him, the invisible walls haven't spawned yet, and you can flip back into the alley where the Penguin and his thugs were, and the fall is high enough to get damaged and even die if you do it enough times.

A bat was bitten by a radioactive wayne-man and became batwayne. The origin story of this human with bat-feats doing bat-things.

I didn't know Bruce Wayne can spin dash, the way he rolls into that wall from the ledge. Sonic must have taught him spinjutsu.

Man: City was always my favorite Man game. Glad it still holds up.

Always wondered what it would be like trying to survive and explore arkham city as just a regular guy, and this gives a great idea. Great content!

It’s pretty badass to think that he’s doing all this in a formal suit. 😎

Being able to take down armed thugs and soldiers while crouching on top of a gargoyle with a full tux on is a new level of bad-ass and hilarious. Like a non-lethal Agent 47.

I’ll bet the extra Bruce restrictions are from older builds of the game where you played as Bruce for longer or in more parts of the game.

You could do Arkham Origins as Ninja Bruce Wayne next. He has way more potential, but will probabaly get stuck at some point too.

I wonder if the reason why he takes fall damage is because that was originally how they prevented you from dropping down off of ledges, and once it turned out that it was very hard to design the level in a way that both made sense and also had him fall to his death from every ledge spot (presumably during testing there were some ledges he didn't die falling from), they just brute forced it and made him completely unable to drop down from hanging ledges instead. Or maybe they also just planned on having more "Suitless" parts, which would have been really awesome.

I enjoy how this video is so straight laced and serious intermixed with unhinged YTP style editing it’s really goofy hahaha

I'm always astonished how people break games in ways i never imagined to do.

I finally found it. Man: Ham City

Can you imagine a 100% speedrun where you start the game, do everything you possible can as bruce wayne, put on the batsuit and do the rest of the run as batman? It sounds like a hella fun idea to me!

I think the reason for why you can't jump off balancing areas (if that's the right term) is because when playing as Batman, he will start gliding. But if you can't glide off, you can't jump off. Edit: They're called perches. Not balancing areas. Just a brain fart on my end.

Hey, guys. What is your favorite Man Ham game? - Man Ham Aslume - Man Ham City - Man Ham Origins - Man Ham Knight

It’s nice rocksteady never fixed glitches like this. It’s almost like they’re part of the game at this point lol

"Well well well Batman and Bruce Wayne, my two LEAST favorite people standing right in front a me."

Pretty ambitious crossover to include Man in Batman: Arkham City.

I just love it when he says "don't worry, you'll get there" implying that I would actually try and do something like that. No way, man, that's why I watch the video, so I don't have to do that myself. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even come up with such an idea.

As Bruce is climbing up buildings all I hear in my head is Pickle Rick's voice "GET THAT PARKOUR, GET THAT PARKOUR"

Give him a long jump or double jump and a short grappling range. And i see a great base for a daredevil game. That would really heavily on parkour

So cool that they let you play the game as a random business tycoon, that's some next-level worldbuilding.

20:35 fantastic bit

I would love to see a mod that makes the game completable as Bruce Wayne. Maybe you do get some of the gadgets, but you still take fall damage and can't glide (admittedly I'm pretty sure there's one or two parts where gliding is a requirement beyond just those minigames where you can test the suit out), obviously give him the ability to drop from ledges and railings, etc. It'd be pretty wild.

i like the detail that bruce fights way differently without his costume on

Great video man, it’s nice seeing such good content still being made from this game all these years later

Some of my favorite time savers when playing City and Asylum involve just skipping certain steps of the story. In Asylum, You don't actually have to go back to the mansion and talk with cash before you do the killer croc levels. And in City you can skip a few predator/combat encounters by passing across them.

This. This video is your breakthrough. Always wondered about being Bruce in Arkham City. Thanks for this 😎 your commentary is awesome. I can listen all day. Great find.

Honestly really cool and impressive making an entirely different game within a game

Welp, I didn't expect that you only have 20 subscribers, I've only watched the first few minutes but the editing and cut of the clips is so good. Good luck, hope you get bigger or something.

this video is really well put together! really enjoyed watching it.

your commentary and gameplay is very pleasing, i didn't even realise i completed the video without skipping, which isn't me. Great work!

I love how the devs made the city traversable by foot, in case someone just doesn't want to use the glide mechanic It's like, an ordinary man CAN traverse Arkham city and a thug theoretically can chase batman to the ends of the world

It's my understanding that the only way to get hurt by falling in these games as any character is by crossing the kill Z volume, and the default pawn class in unreal engine hasn't had fall damage implemented either, so I can't possible fathom why Bruce can take fall damage unless the devs were toying with it and changed it later, or if they wanted you to die before continuing the game as Bruce

18:06 ZSASZ KNOWS BRUCE WAYNE IS BATMAN 😮😮😮

Limited Traversal was one of my favorite things to do. The map is so genius even if accidental at times.

“Yup, I’m Man”

Great video, and I really wanted you to end by jumping in, and you did, so bonus points :D

Really well made video! Excited for more arkham city challenges!

You forgot one more thing that you can do as Bruce. You can use the power winch to trigger a controlled explosion.

No fucking way you only have 30 subs bro keep this going I believe in you this video is great subbed

This is amazing! I'm shocked you're even able to do this much

Ayo what was bane doing with Batman in Arkham Asylum. Ngl seems like fun

finally I can play as my favorite superhero: Man

Great video! I was seriously expecting you to be a bigger channel. I love arkham city and had always wondered if this was possible so this was awesome. Keep it up! You definitely have a great thing going here

I love this video! Very nicely done! Looking forward to what you put out next :)

Wow I see a lot of effort put into this video you've earned a sub

this looked like a lot of fun! just figuring out the parkour routes is a game on it's own

Great, now /rBatmanArkham is gonna go insane with this

This was great vid for such a small channel, keep 'em coming 🔥

Imagine if all of this was just the tutorial before you can continue the main story AND THEN you got to play the actual Arkham City game.

12:50 *Bruce thought he was in Assassins Creed Mirage for a minute their*

It's so impressive the amount of work you put in this project, the result is simply extraordinary, well done!

Saw this video and now I’m subscribed. This is the crazy stuff I love

I loved this video and I think you need more subscribers lol! I'd love to see more Batman/Arkham/Bruce videos as well

Can you beat Man: Arkham City? Well, not exactly but there's a few things you can do.

It took me like a whole minute to recognize the song being played by a recorder, but I got it. Well done.

20:21 love the random ass ytp in this vid lol 29:33 and this too

Would've been nice if we got a proper Bruce Wayne skin that can beat the game from start to finish, with an unmasked Bruce using his trenchcoat for gliding.

Is that… man? On the thumbnail?

dude this is so crazy how much time that took. really entertaining Video!

My face when you can’t play a Batman game without Batman 😮

This info helps a lot. Thank You!!

Loved the recorder playing the knock-off Indiana Jones' theme song.

Prediction, story wise, you'd be able to beat the two face encounter. But get stuck on the first detective mode scene.

He is forgiveness, he is the day, he is Bruce Wayne

Thanks for your hard work. Really entertaining.

Here's a challenge: Use console commands to load in Robin in the main story and see how many trophies you can collect as him. You could also do the same with Nightwing, but I would find Robin more entertaining.

MAN: CIIIIIIIIIITY MAN: CITY IS REEEEEEEEEAL!

I’m surprised there’s so much to do. Great job figuring all this out.

The whole game... Batman is Bruce Wayne 🤯

batman arkham city but it was made by r/batmanarkham:

This challenge must really make you appreciate the abilities you're able to perform in the Batman suit, and be pretty fun to see what you can accomplish without it if you try your hardest

Weird how Bruce tries to hide that he's Batman but doesn't change his fight style

Gaining some subs already great video man

This was crazy you where dedicated as hell bro

That recorder section had me creased 😂

From one Arkham creator to another appreciate this video didn't know this Bruce glitch was possible

I forgot how much fun there was to be had in breaking this game and doing silly things with it! Also, I have a new-found respect for all the Thugs, Political Prisoners and even some of the villains who are easily able to get from the entrance of Arkham City to the Industrial District without a grapple gun or a whip or something.

Props for playing as me instead of Batman though I do appreciate that

Watching this video made me wish the game had a more limited use of the grappling gun and cape gliding cause the traversal seems pretty fun and engaging. The game should've made us use the environment more and be more in touch with it as we climb ledges and jump from rooftop to rooftop, not just basically flying above them.

NO WAY THIS IS CRAZY

The part where you described the subway checkpoint gave me major GTA safehouse vibes.

I can't even begin to guess how long it took you to do this! Respect and loved the vid!💜
