THE GREATEST BATMAN GAME EVER MADE 

Real.

Finding his trophies and riddles was only fun in Origins and Asylum, though, in City and Knight it just felt tedious and way too over done, and, personally, the worst part is how he just did/mostly did trophies instead of Riddles, should have called him "The Trophie Man"

@@GlitchingRobin After I intetogated enough Riddler informants it took me less than an hour to find all the trophies. And a disagree because easily the least enjoyable time to find his collectibles are is easily in Origins because the locations in or not well thought out and there is little to no reward for finding of them all unlike the other games. All you find is the first Riddler trophy.

@@The_Phantasm in case you forgotten, Riddler's canonical first appearance was in origins, of course they weren't thought out, he was only just starting his career, that's what made it fun, and nobody mentioned the time, regardless of the time Knight and City are annoying as hell to get, and like I said previously, why the hell is Riddler's whole thing trophies? That has nothing to do with Riddles and I feel they could have done a much better job with Riddler, and actually have his character revolve around Riddles instead of trophies

He’s my favorite villain of all time

Agreed. It’s like the Animated Series Version fully unleashed

If they trimmed the fat and made it a four movie translation, that would be perfect. They could treat the first one like, essentially, an escape room. Instead of constant traversal of the asylum, every room would essentially be a boss fight with an iconic villain. It would be so good. I would even be open to them starting on Origins and making this the latter half of the first, or the second film entirely.

I've always thought that too it's one of the reasons why Batman is my favorite superhero.

Take this with a salt lamp, but I believe he is working on a Kevin Conroy video.

Wait, you feel that Kevin Conroy is _underrated_ as Batman? ... I don't get it, who doesn't rate him at the number one voice actor when it comes to Batman/Bruce Wayne? How could we rate him higher than we already do? From *Batman:TAS* (1992) to *Justice League: Action* (2018) he's voiced the most iconic versions of the character, and even got to play the Bat of Earth-99 in live action in the Arrowverse crossover *Crisis on Infinite Earths* (2020) ... ... and we still have *Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League* to look forward to next year! And you _also_ feel like Mark Hamill is underrated as Joker? Like, ok, I'm sorry if I come across as pushy, but who/where are those people who rate them low down the totem pole when it comes to these 2? We only ever hear the highest praise for these 2, they're the guys that the others have to live up to.

@@randallflagg3700 For real, this guy's take about Conroy and Hamill being "underrated" is absolutely dogwater. I never hear ANYTHING but total praise for them and their performances.

dun-dudun-dunnnn

Did anyone catch the game last night?

@@DiamondBlade11”I’m warden idiot, you’ll never escape”

The draw to asylum is atmosphere for me it's still unmatched in superhero games but it's also the shortest which is why I always come back to this game.

Personally this and AC are my favorite games tied. I love AC for gameplay and story while AA will never have that atmosphere surpassed.

I mean, they kind of have a point, at least in some regard. I don't see anyone defending Fallout 3 for laying literally *all* the groundwork for Fallout New Vegas to exist even though, arguably, FO3 was much more revolutionary in terms of game design as it did much more things that were considered new and innovative, even outpacing New Vegas in some areas like atmosphere and world-building. (Obsidian loves TELLING too much about the world rather than SHOWING it, which FO3 does a lot better. The story may have better writing in New Vegas, but the world building is actually not very good at all outside of dialog. FO3's dialog isn't as good but it sets up it's world with less of it, sprinking in elements that hint towards future story elements without explicitly having a character SAY it, like that computer you can find in Grayditch with that one old former Enclave guy talking about the resurgence of the Enclave in DC) Keep in mind that I agree with YOU. I think earlier entries shouldn't be so heavily derided for small flaws that later games fixed because that's EXPECTED of a sequel, to fix the problems. I'm not saying FO3 or Batman AA are better overall than their successors, but you do have a point about taking context into account when judging these games. I don't think it's fair to do 1 to 1 comparisons to their successors because they weren't designed with the hindsight of earlier entries and the feedback from them.

The way I see it, if the "worst" thing about an entry is that everything that came after was objectively better, then that means you did a near-perfect entry at the time. I consider that a compliment

Nahh your wrong and you should feel bad 😂👍🏽

Ehhh, to say that it ALONE started a renaissance of the superhero sandbox genre might be overstating it a little. Keep in mind that InFamous AND Prototype also came out around the same time, fueling superhero game hype. Rightfully so, because those games are sick. I think Batman AA had a lot to do with it, but let's not forget the fact that two NEW IP's also contributed to that hype.

@calebhall75 yeah perhaps I forgot about Infamous and Prototype those games definitely deserve the contribution for the superhero Renaissance for games. My apologies.

@@Eye_Of_Odin978 The Arkham games still trash tho lol

​​​@@Eye_Of_Odin978True Infamous and Prototype may have contributed to the Superhero video game genre but the reason why Batman Arkham Asylum and series as a whole gets more recognition is because it's the 1st License game to do a proper Batman game that has inspired other developers to take license Superhero characters and bring them into the gaming universe. Without Asylum we wouldn't be having these type of discussions we're having now. The Batman Arkham series is the gold standard to make a Superhero game.

Good purchase, although there IS a 4th one but it's up to you if you want to take a chance on Arkham Knight. It's pt decent but the story is weak.

​​​@@Eye_Of_Odin978I think he means the return to Arkham trilogy which includes asylum, city and knight. Origins isn't included.

The entire series is phenomenal and the origin of the same sort of combat that we got in Spider-Man. Arkham origins is still an amazing game although it’s definitely not as good as the rocksteady trilogy but it’s still awesome to see the year one Batman of the Arkham verse, without any spoilers hes arguably at his most brutal in the series in terms of combat and how he goes about defeating and handling his enemies and it’s the only game in the series that lets you chill & train in the the bat cave

The games I always go back even after more than 10 years.

@@justbegoodlito agreed

In my opinion Batman Arkham Asylum and Bioshock displayed one of the best atmospheres in a video game.

The atmosphere and the tighter experience is what brings me back to asylum every year. City and Asylum stand out especially in a world where everyone is competing to have the biggest open world while the arkham games focus on a small but detailed world. I'm always finding something new.

​@@AmariMarvelous You're not wrong.

Better than Marvel Spiderman on the PS4?

Yet Origins has the best Batman character writing in the quadrilogy.

It truly is and is the reason why we are discussing superhero games. I think overall City is the best but Origins is my personal favorite.

AC is a near-perfect game tbh Easy 9/10

agree @@Eye_Of_Odin978

...why?

@@DiamondBlade11 Never had a PS3. When I played City and Origins, those were for the Wii U, and when I finally got a PS4, I got Knight. For some reason, I just never had "getting Asylum" high on my priority list.

@@HoffMatt Fair enough. You can learn all the story events in AC using context clues and it is the weakest Arkham game gameplay wise.

The Joker boss fight is ridiculous but important because it caused him dying in Arkham City

@@petermj1098 true, although I'm fuzzy over whether that was planned in advance in any way.

If only it combined with the Batmobile.

@@robertrogers074 Batmobile? or the Bat tank 💀.

Batmobile wouldn't even work in city's map but ok

@@THEBATMAN_396 ok then if only the size of city was the size of Arkham knight city so Batmobile can be used.

@@robertrogers074 No because the way the map of city was designed it can't be used buildings tight together narrow roads places blocked off a whole entire district cut off from the rest of the map because the roads got blown up during the story. No way the batmobile could get through the city. Even the developers said it isn't a driving game when asked about the batmobile in Arkham City

Nah InFamous 2 is right there lmao Even other Arkham games have this one beat, especially City.

100%

While I love Arkham City, the vibe and feel that Asylum gave makes it the best in my eyes when it comes to “Batman games” like it’s hard to explain but I classify it like City is the better video game, but Asylum is the bette Batman game. It was creepy, dark, scary etc etc. the villains felt like a threat and all fit the setting incredibly well. It was gritty and kept you on your toes and the small setting made things feel more claustrophobic and tense. It captured the darker aspects of Batman comics perfectly. City was great dont get me wrong, but imo it didn’t capture the essence of Batman like Asylum did. It felt like a comic book come to life.

in my opinion it’s origins just bc of the bosses

It has flaws but I think people get too caught up on "muh vehicle missions" when realistically Batman has been seen using cars in his media for years now. It's not out of left field or something like most people claimed. I really liked it, even if the story was arguably the weakest of the four.

@@Eye_Of_Odin978I actually loved the car battles cause I already had the crazy boss battles in the other games so I didn’t mind the change at all tbh I just love the combat of Arkham knight it’s basically perfected

That’s just you being used to what City and Knight became. Asylum is my favorite because it’s the most concise. I don’t play it as an open world action adventure, I play it like a metroidvania. Out of all of the games, it’s the most believable game that could be a story taken out of the comics. City didn’t make sense because why would you turn the city into a prison, and knight was just too large scale and melodramatic. And if you really sit down and play the series again, ALL of the games are clunky.

I respect your opinion, your very wrong opinion.

Obv not lol and my opinion is fact so get out of here 😂👍🏽

@@symbolofpeacetv1578 why are they overrated in your opinion?

You are wrong and you should feel bad.

@@tylerbertram7065 Nahh I ain’t wrong and why would I feel bad for being right you weirdo
