i just wish he didn't dance around the issue. i hate the fact that whenever he brings it up, he always downplays the issue as something the police themselves have major control over and acts like it's something you'll rarely ever find which isn't the truth in the slightest.
@@frostsoul4199 it is though, only a small amount of dirty cops exist in the United States, the smart dirty cops remain undetected, the cops that get power hungry and get too violent are most of the time given desk jobs, or taken off the force
@@SchizoShack i highly doubt that considering how far spread police brutality and corruption is. the cops who violently beat peaceful protestors and abetted other crooked cops have yet to be held accountable. in the 1980's a police detective was fired from his job because he found out the NYC police department had been bribed into looking the other way for the sake of Wall Street's big businesses. A cop in MN was fired from his job for calling the Derek Chauvin incident unprofessional. bad cops aren't some cancer that's easily removed the moment it erupts. it's a constant issue that goes unaddressed by the peacekeeping force that's supposed to be preventing them. Crooked cops are everywhere and are rarely ever held responsible. When "good cops" are too scared to speak out or arrest crooked cops, then obviously this is a far greater issue than you or him make it out to be.
My only comment would be the fact that in the Batman origin storyline, the police are incredibly corrupt as it takes place before he cleaned up the city. So they have reason to shoot in probably won't get charged for it. Not yet at least EDIT: Most liked comment I've seen on this video. Thanks for that, I guess. Thanks for the comments too. I like a good dialogue.
@@AweEmperorofChickenKilling in Batman year One the head of SWAT and the police commissioner were both major antagonists. But in Arkham origins the police commissioner dies. So you're really left with just brendan. And detective Bullock but he's more gray than he is black or white
@@St33lStrife oh yeah I completely forget Gordon wasn't the commish yet at this point. Was Bullock in the game too? It's been so long since I played I can't remember anything except that Brendan was a jerk. I don't even remember what happened to Brendan lol
Serves them right. Nobody has to comid crimes. Those guys should be thankfull Batman gives them a chance to change themselves. The Punisher wouldn't be that gentle.
I'm not rich, but yesterday i donated my phone , my wallet and my watch to a mysterious poor guy. You can't imagine the happiness that i felt when i saw him putting the gun back in his pocket
@@bluetaigax1747 as far as I remember some of the heroes call their costumes uniform aswell - Green Lantern and Wonder Woman comes to mind (I mean, GLs costume IS a uniform :) )
Exactly. Deathstroke fight was hands down one of the best in the entire trilogy. Shame that Arkham Knight didn't have a hand to hand rematch. Joker is one of the best parts of Origins too.
Man I literally just started playing the Arkham series. Edit: thanks for the comments below. I am loving the story so far I would also recommend any people who haven’t played to give the series a chance if you have the time to do so.
Yeah! They missed out on prefect crime ivestigations, prof. pyg, ridder's stuff, hosatge situations, inside of GCPD, all other crime scene analyze parts in both Origins & Arkham Knght. Instead of showing tanks shit, they should've show these.
@@hzjake exactly. That stuff and Zsasz would be great. I think there's other cool stuff as well in Arkham Knight DLC that I haven't played that would be good for a detective to react to.
The whole thing about 50 cal machine guns is honestly pretty interesting. I always thought the 50 cal guns on police vehicles in Battlefield Hardline was a bit unrealistic, but it’s actually not too big of a stretch of the imagination!
@@drwhite7285 yeah but machine gun fire is less accurate than the Barrett, even in semi auto. Plus departments don't want collateral damage, machine guns are too risky.
@@puffypegion7815 you know that famous marine sniper Charles Hathcock used a .50 cal machine gun as a sniper right, it can be done, effectively (+100 yards). Also how do you know that a machine gun with a longer barrel most likely mounted and in semi auto fires less accurate then a barret? Just because it's a HMG doesn't make it any less accurate with the right training and knowhow, I think your applying videogame logic to the real world.
@@drwhite7285 Good luck trying to move and set up that HMG, all for the benefit of more ammo, while a Barrett can be moved alot easier. I don't think you realize that police and SWAT officers aren't superhuman that can drag an HMG with ease (not including the belt ammo with it). A browning 50 cal weights 84 pounds, while a barrett weighs about 28 pounds. There legit isn't any reason to get an HMG for law enforcement, and getting one even would probably cause public outcry. I think you are applying videogame logic to the real world.
I love how this officer explains his responsibilities as an officer as he watches Batman. One of the things I love about Batman is when they showcase officers as hard working heroes. And its not easy being a good cop in Gotham.
Still want to see him react to Dead to Rights: Retribution for his take on Jack's preferred brand of enforcing the law, and take on how effective the Timber Wolf/Alaskan Malamute hybrid Shadow is when it comes to being Police K9 Dog.
I wish I can play this series for the first time again, it’s one of my favorites! They have the Return to Arkham bundle that has all three games remastered (except Knight). Have fun man!
I’d love to see Doctor Reacts to Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 special infected. Some close examinations on the different conditions and behaviors would be cool.
I kind of now want to see him reacting to the inFAMOUS games with the vigilante thing going on if you’re a good guy, and the reactions of everybody if you’re evil
True in for example in Infamous Second Son if you go down the hero route aka the canon route Delsin, Fletch, and Eugene are treated as the hero trio known as "The Guardian Protectors" with the various citizens saying various compliments about including "Delsin for City Mayor", various teenage boys wanting to get together with Fetch, and girls wanting to date the usually shy and reserved Eugene and of course DUP is brought down due to being exposed as a corrupt organization, plus Delsin gets a cool looking Blue and White Jean Jacket that has the image of a eagle on the back.
i really hope he does pickup the game, because it explains that the reason the "prison" portion looks so poor, is because it is actually a hastily put together, cutoff portion of the city. probably not safe, but gotham has always been about that kind of thing
The Dark Knight Rises brought up the idea that Batman didn't really need to go out there himself anymore. He just had to share his resources to the local force. The Arkham Universe did the best of both worlds by making Bruce Wayne a huge philanthropist for Gotham City while also bringing out Batman when he is absolutely needed.
The dark knight rises never brought up that idea. Alfred just suggetsed that. Batman NEEDS to go out there because the cops are crazy corrupt and wont make good use of the resources
@@sparshbansal6624 he had to learn to work with cops at the very very end of the movie. He didn't give them any/much kit if i recall tho (not that he had a lot of kit left)
@@sparshbansal6624 Peace time was implied in the first act of Rises due to the Dent Act ridding Gotham of almost (if not all) corruption and organized crime. It's also why Batman stayed dormant for 8 years. He simply wasn't needed anymore. Hindsight is 20/20 but at that moment, it would have made sense for Bruce to just pass on the torch instead of going out there himself to fight Bane who was clearly stronger than him in every way.
@@clericneokun He wasnt needed anymore because there were no supervillains to the tune of Ra's Al Ghul, Joker or Bane. There is a difference between figjting supervillains like Bane and organized crime. The reason Bane threw Bruce in the pit was because Bane himself recognized Batman was the ONLY person able to beat him. Even the regular criminals themselves were more scared of batman than they were of the Police because police has always been able to be bought in batman stories including the Nolan trilogy. Joker even says that in the Dark Knight. "I know why you have your group therapy sessions in the daylight: The Batman". All the mafias even paid Joker to get rid of the Batman. In Batman Begins, the judge who acquitted Joe Chill was corrupt. You can even see him in Falcone's restaurant with young girls half his age around his arms. Flass, Gordon's partner, is also corrupt. He literally steals falafael from a poor person. Rachel's boss in the first movie is killed by two corrupt police officers. The entire staff at Arkham is either afraid or bought off because even though everyone knew about the crazy experiments Crane performed, noone said anything about it. Crane literally set batman on fire in front of two policemen. Batman is portrayed as someone who is truly incorruptible. Joker even says that at the end of the second movie. But lets say all the police officers and people in power, magically, turn into decent human beings, does that mean there are no ways to influence the police officers and other people in power? In the second movie, Joker literally threatens two police officers into doing his bidding. I guess a lady mexican officer known as Ramirez betrays Gordon and Batman because Joker threatened her life or her family's life. So if police officials are either corrupt or afraid, then they can be easily ifluenced. Batman can neither be corrupted nor is he easily spooked. Literally the entire trilogy tries to hammer this message home. But there is one other factor. What about incompetence? The police are not simply as competent as Batman. Batman is not batman because of his gadgets and wealth. He is that because of his training, willpower, innate sense of goodness. Literally noone will be willing to go through what Bruce went through during his training. Bruce is an exceptionally extraordinarily competent individual and the police are just average human beings. What specialized gadgets or resources did Bruce use to defeat Bane? He used his willpower to get out of the lazarus pit because he genuinely wanted to help his city. A large majority of police officers dont have the same devotion to improving Gotham that Bruce does. A large majority of the police officers dont have the same amount of will power and strength that enables Bruce to fight 600 menat once. A large majority of the officers arent incorruptible like Bruce. So Bruce is literally the only person who could have defeated Bane. If he hadnt decided to come out of retirement, Gotham would have been destroyed. Alfred also thought Bruce wouldnt be able to defeat Bane and would die. Guess what? Alfred was wrong.
There have been various storylines where Batman went to a hideout and told the goons that Bruce Wayne was offering to train everyone and give them jobs. The goons immediately left.
The Batman Arkham games were so fun to play. The interesting lore of Batman and Gotham City, the beautiful concept art, the great character designs, the creative soundtracks… such well made games.
actually the batmobile in Arkham Knight fires special rockets that magically only destroy the vehicle enough to shut its mobility down while magically keeping the occupants alive
3:35 Tennessee VS Garner “A law enforcement officer is allowed to use lethal force on a fleeing suspect if said suspect can be a threat to someone else’s life. On the contrary, if they are chasing someone who is not a threat to the life of someone else then lethal force is not allowed.” Basically, if someone stole a bunch of batteries and is trying to flee from police then lethal force is not allowed. But if someone is running away, then turns around and fires off a few rounds before continuing to run then lethal force is 100% justified.
I’m so glad you guys showed him this, next time you guys should show Chris the crime scenes in the Arkham series like the Deadshot side mission where you have to go back and use the scanner to figure out where the bullet was shot from. I think he will really enjoy that
I like this guy. Very informative and fun. Also a fan of Batman so that makes it all the more fun. He doesn't just lean into "thats unrealistic" because he knows its just comic book fun.
I'd love to see either Chris (and/)or the FBI guy react to the mission in hitman bloodmoney where the guy is being witness protected by the FBI and you have to kill him. Like I'd even supply footage if needed. There's an interesting way the FBI react to one of the kills you can get (I'm not gonna spoil it but hint: it involves the swimming pool) that I'd love to see reacted to.
I wonder what he thinks of the fact that in comics universe supervillains are destined to ALWAYS and CONSTANTLY escape confinement and kill more innocent people and police officers, but killing them is still not considered a preferred choice.
Batman doesn’t kill because he’s mentally unstable, once he kills, he will keep killing and killing and he won’t ever stop. It’s why he has backup plans to stop himself if this happend.
@@Daddy_Grimm It's not about Batman, the court doesn't sentence the criminals to death either. Joker has been sent to the Asylum repeatedly and he escapes all the time.
Remember, these are comic books. The longevity of their stories are integral and the joker is one of the most popular DC characters ever created, killing him off for real would just be a bad business move. An in-universe explanation could simply be that the villains have somebody on their payroll who can get their sentences lightened because the Justice system in Gotham is said to be very corrupt.
Batman is the greatest super hero ever. I've read many comics, watched the animated series and loved Arkham Asylum. What makes Batman that awesome is that he has no super powers, but is concidered the worlds greatest detektive, his martial arts skills are unparalleled, he's highly intelligent and his arsenal of gadgets and vehicles makes him highly adaptable. I'm huge fan since my childhood and even today (I'm 33 now) this fandom is unbroken.
Ya do realize that Batman is only as successful as his writers make him right? Ya know, like Batman saving Gotham.....including the serial killer who tried to blow it up for the 50 billionth time?
It's easy to become a superhero, when You got time for training and a bunch of money and equipment... Not worrying about bills, and family to take care of. I would love to see batman after 12h shift for minimum wage, after sleepless night because of children crying. Show me that hero
One of the thugs in Arkham Knight mentions how getting hit by the batmobiles non-lethal rounds is like "getting punched by an angry gorilla", he may not kill you but the hospital bills will
Having bones crushed hurts bad. Really bad. My left shoulder was crushed and dislocated due to severe electrocution. The cursed gift that keep on giving. Smashed bones hurt for life.
Everyone who's getting shot by the non lethal rounds of the Batmobile, interrogated or getting his bones rearranged by Batman's martial art skills deserved it. What Batman is trying to tell those criminals is: "Stop commiting crimes and I don't turn your face into modern art." If they don't listen it serves them right.
@@alfa01spotivo getting punched by an angry gorilla will get you seriously injured. shooting car until it burst to flame will get you seriously dead. the dude is widely known to inflict serious injuries on regular basis. thats why some fear him and he knows it (and uses it against them). wtf you talking about?
"People believe the world we live in is sunshine and rainbows" I wish I can live like that, I'm am cautious about everything and everyone I meet in my life
I worked for a pool company for the past year and I had no idea the reason for the chlorine shortage was cuz of hacking, so many people were complaining about pools not being fully cleaned but we can’t maintain a pool’s cleanliness without the stuff
That was amazing nothing was better than getting bane or the joker and absolutely wrecking the other team. Even the fps aspect was good with the various weapons for each gang
You guys are right about everything. It be awesome if they did it again. Origins on PS3 is still active, but you have to keep signing in (even though it says there's a problem).
They need to give arkham online another try such as giving it it's own game. Ignore the casual singeplayer scrubs for once since the arkham series is finished story wise.
There are certain other exceptions to being cuffed behind the back. In cases of transporting someone, depending on the officers and the case, they may move the cuffs to the front. When I had to go to court from a facility, the officers that were responsible for my transportation cuffed my hands in front of me. (Granted, they also applied ankle restraints as well)
Chris delivering truth bombs and real world information through the lens of a video game. He's truly one of the best and most valuable experts on Gamology. I found a lot of what he said truly relevant to what I see every day in the real world. Hope we get to see his playthrough for this game in the future.
It saddens me to see how many times he felt the need to explain the he knows crooked cops are a thing and that he's not on their side. He shouldn't need to feel that way. I hate how so many idiots keep painting cops as the bad guys while defending the actual bad guys who are destroying our nation. Chris, you're a good guy. Don't pay any mind to the idiots who say all cops are bad. They're not worth your time. SUPPORT THE BLUE!
The part where Batman threatens the bandit with the batmobile, the wheel is actually putting pression on his head, that's why he's scared as heck. He even has a line where he says something about the wheel hurting him.
Police Depts. should have decent security controls. I don't know of any PDs without an internal IT dept. Most Ransomware incidents occur to an end user i.e. a LEO or someone clicking on a link in a sus email, and the like.
The relationship between law enforcement and Batman is one of the main reasons I couldn't get behind Ben Affleck's murdering Batman-- Commissioner Gordon would have NEVER allowed Batman to trample and shoot people with his car and yet he goes unquestioned in those films. The real Gordon would have gone after him the second Batman went overboard.
stop cherry picking shit. if gordon does his job like a real police, he would/should never allow batman's existence. vigilantism is forbidden by the law period. it is forbidden exactly because vigilante will cause harm/death one way or another. chris literally said police wouldnt side with batman. even in these games, you see batman shooting criminal cars until it burst to flame for example. you really think those people will be alive? i bet 9.9 out of 10 times they die. and fyi, batfleck never murdered anyone in bvs. all his kills are collateral, self defense, or justifiable homicide. i dare you to show me one time batfleck attacks unprovoked. his only murder was superman's, but he didnt follow that through. all batmen in comics or movies, have killed at some point. stop acting batfleck killing is new. besides, you are ok with batman attacking/torturing criminals, basically often to the point where they wish they dead, but you arent ok with him killing? and not killing criminals for what, so they can get out of jail/escape and put people in harm's way again?
@@amazo88 ok yeah, you literally just proved that you dont understand the character of Batman at all. Seems like Punisher would be more of what you're looking for. This has nothing to do with Batfleck cause I really like him. But everything else you just said, yeah, you reaaaally dont get Batman
@@phantomy8941 and you literally just given the typical response: "yOu DoNT unDeRsTAnd bATmaN". bob kane made batman kill. you wanna say the creator of batman doesnt understand batman? in some comics and most movies (except batman and robin) where batman kills, you wanna say those writers dont understand batman too? you understand batman more than everyone else? and no, im not saying batman should be like punisher. im saying it should be ok for batman to kill once in a while if situation calls for it. the fact that you saying i want him to be like punisher tells me you act like you understand batman. because once you glorify the no kill rule, you tend to build convenient shits around that rule. no kill rule may sound noble, but it is also an unrealistically forced rule.
Eh i just had to let some things slip by at this point cuz that fucking warehouse scene thooooo but I remember having the same thoughts when first watching BVS
5:10 So this is very true. I work for a pool cleaning service. Back in May is when it really hit us. Now I didn’t hear anything about hackers but I was told that the only chlorine supplier in the country had a fire at their factory. This put my boss, my coworker, and I afraid of losing our jobs. Due to lack chlorine available to keep our customers’ pools clean. Luckily we were able to find a place to sell us some and we stocked up. We are good until about next March. Hopefully by then the shortage will be over. But that’s not the only problem, not only is it short in stock, but chlorine is also VERY expensive. And I don’t see the price of chlorine ever going back down.
The craziest armored vehicle in crime story I've heard was from a Polish friend of mine where some mafia used like, a BTR as part of a cross border bank robbery. This was a few years ago now though.
A few corections. One the Killdozer incident was caused by the failure of the legal system that was not upheld and two on average crime is at an all time low and even lowering everyday. Now I mean on AVERAGE. That means that most places have lowering crime rates. Yes I understand some places have raising crime rates but on average in the U.S. crime rates are lowering.
Yeah that's a cultural issue atop the current militarization issues. Older top brass officers tend to see the police's presence on the cyberpace as frivolous compared to the boots-on-the-ground approach they are more used to, even more in these troubled times. TL;DR: they might say "we don't have budget for these newfangled hacking biz" yet they spend more and more into Assault Rifles, tactical gear and MRAP armored cars they don't exactly need
0:25 Well, just like in the old The A-Team episodes. The car jumps up, rolls over the ground and crashes. Suddenly we hear the voide of the driver "Charlie, are you okay?" and the other guy replies "Yeah, I'm okay." In the A-Team there was explosions, machine gun fire, cars crashing, helicopters falling, but not a single person ever died.
Y’all really need to calm down in these comments. I’m pretty sure Chris is talkin about his experience and how the PD works within his state or precinct/district or however that works.
I'd love to see Chris react to gameplay from Need For Speed: Heat, the story is rather simple but I think he could provide a lot of insight into some of the moments.
Not sure about over there but in my country, many suspects are not punished ad they are immediatly released. These are attempted murder, sexual assault or sometimes straight up murder suspects. Over here, we sure as hell need vigilantes, just like Gotham needing Batman.
7:24 Tips to delocate your handcuffs : Dislocate your thumbs (just one is enough) Bow and try to force your arms to go forward over your head (risk of dislocation) Breaking Chains (very unlikely but if it's rusted) Breaking the lock (very unlikely but if you're strong enough you have a chance, miniscule but a chance)
It's alright, the game does give some practice areas you can mess around with in Arkham City and Knight, so you can do those until you get the hang of it.
funnily enough jason todd also brought up that point of backing up your threats. Alfred said the reason people fear batman is they are unsure of what they'll to which jason countered(still robin at this point) they know he wont kill them.
10:35 what he said actually come true in *The Flash* Batman retired because there was no need for him as he already locked up all the super villains in his world. The cops can handle the normal crimes.
Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1 (1985), is a civil case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that, under the Fourth Amendment, when a law enforcement officer is pursuing a fleeing suspect, the officer may not use deadly force to prevent escape unless "the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.
I'm surprised Chris didn't talk about the detective elements of Batman in the Arkham games (where he sets up the crime scenes and uses his evidence scanner).
It is explained in in Arkham origins that most of the police force is on the payroll of black mask (technically the joker) and are going to be payed for killing Batman.

The first video you see of arkham origins you find out later in the game that the officer who says take him down Is actually a corrupt cop and so is his squad
the thing in the part where the cops were shooting at batman, that particular squad is a bunch of dirty cops, and they were trying to follow through on a 1 million dollar bounty on batman's head
