The PROBLEM With Gotham Knights 

There was no doubt that this game was meant to be a live service game, but they immediately backpedaled when they saw what happened with Marvel’s Avengers

You know it's pretty sad that this game gave Batman a better well-written death than KTJL did...

0/10. Nightwing not jucy enough

Batman: “The Bat-Family will be my Legacy, The Fate of Gotham is in your hands now.” The Bat-Family: 0:45

3:38 Regarding Jason's face in this game, i remember reading a comment on a trailer during this game's promotional cycle that said that Jason looked like he was going to "steal Robin's lunch money and throw him inside a locker".

That dance montage lasted way longer than it should have...and I'm completely fine with it🔥🕺🏼🔥🕺🏼🔥🤣

it's quite funny to me how Gotham Knights, a game deliberately NOT in the Arkhamverse, wants you to think it is with its gameplay while handling the death of Batman with some actual fucking gravitas and care, whereas Suicide Squad IS in the Arkhamverse and ditched its robust melee combat for generic third-person shooting and handled the death of Batman with... how did Joker put it? "All the subtlety of a napalm enema."

I want to see Cassandra Cain in one of these games. She’s my favorite version Batgirl.

Bruh imagine they add Red X side mission that would go so hard

Better idea for jasons traversal, he points his guns down and shoots at the ground, propelling him up Yes just like jetpack sam

Y’know, after the… squad game… I find myself kinda comforted by the familiarity of Gotham Knights. Like, is it better than the Arkham games? No, not really. But is it trying to be? I don’t think so. It’s a game that delves into the mechanics of Batman’s sidekicks, with just enough similarity to arkham to keep you familiar without seeming like a complete ripoff. Honestly, all things considered, the game’s a solid 7/10, retrospectively.

The new Wonder Woman by Monolith studios has some massive expectations to overcome because since Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League both failed all eyes and hope is now on this Wonder Woman game to be amazing.

This game gets a lot of shit but I hope that other adaptations take the family dynamic from this game, because they all feel like siblings trying to respect their father's legacy as much as they can and it kinda sucks this is the latest thing to show the importance of the bat family.

Only way I’d comeback is if Batman got added as a playable character and I don’t see that happening

Nightwing has no bakery and that’s disappointing. Barbra is looking great in this game tho 🥵. And Robins traversal is so TRASH. Even worse than Red Hoods. And I hate the way Jason looks. He’s too buff and looks like Rey Mysterio.

…the fact that you CAN dance like Oluwa Mark to the African Spider-Man theme if you CHOOSE…earns this game an extra half-point at least.

Jason is buff canonically. He is heavier (tho shorter) than Batman canonically. And in comics it shows, when he sands next to Bruce, their height difference is very slight. This is not the case with Dick who is much smaller than both Bruce, and Jason. (Jason is 6ft, 225 lbs, Batman is 6'2 ft, 210 lbs, Dick is 5'10, 175 lbs) In New 52 writers/artists forgot that Jason is actually huge (when he was created he was listed as being 250 lbs!) and people who became the fans of Jason think he is supposed to be a twink. Which he is not. During Rebirth they retconned his original height/weight back. It blows my mind why they artists refuse to draw him bigger thn Grayson.

The Robins and Batgirls still felt alot like sidekicks in Gotham Knights due to every villain being hand me downs from Bruce and the antagonists having more personal connections to him than the family, like the court of owls had potential to be Nightwings dark reflection since William Cobb was his grandad in the comics but they never utilized it in game.

Even after this whole analysis this is still better than Suicide Squad KTJ IMO. At least it still kept the Arkham combat and stealth and you’re playing the Bat Family. I’m am confused as to why Batman keeps getting folded in the very recent DC game. I’m still waiting on a Justice League or a Superman game. Or even a Batman/Superman game would be cool kinda like the new Spider-Man 2

Gotham knights should have been in the Arkham verse, and KTLJ should have been elseworld.

I agree that DC gaming should be in a better spot. There are so many cool stories to tell! Ive found myself going back and playing DC Universe Online just for the small little story beats in the leveling and raiding.

That opening with batman vs ra al ghul goes hard. This batman went out fight while the other batman just let harley quinn shoot him

That intro had me laughing so hard.😂😂😂😂 This game would have been better with a good plot

I really enjoyed that you pointed out the good and bad bits of the game

what the fuck does "jump in the air like he's goomba from mario" mean LOL

Man you can REALLY tell this game was suppoused to be a live service game. Everything about it. From the way it plays. The dumb post launch content update and even it's story and all these random crafting materials just SCREAMS and oozes that this was supposued to be a live service game. But at the last minute they backpedlled and gutted every live service element they could out of this game. Proibbly beacuse this game im willing to bet, was straight up virtually finished in 2020. It was proibbly set to be relased early 2021 to be DC's big comptettor to marvels avengerrs and was modled after it. But they saw how it crashed and burned and got a ton of backlash so they panicked, delayed it by a year and gutted the live service elements to make it single player to hopefully have it recived better. Or more likley. They did it to try to salvage suicide squad's chances. You can kinda feel this may of been meant to be the arkhamverse game as Suicide squads story is pretty messy as a lot of things just don't match up with the ending of Arkham knight or the characters. But when they saw how bad avengerrs did andhow GK didn't have a chance to be sucessful? They disconneced it from the Arkham verse and gave it to suicide squad to hopefuly make it sell better. Hence the delays. To add in the Arkhamverse links.

Yes the writers read wiki pages. That's literally what they did, they admit it and actually say it thinking they are bragging 🤣

Nightwing's dance was the only cool one

Ain't no way I caught you repeatin' man's jokes 😂 4:11 was funny as hell, tho 🤣

That spider-man shit went off.

Remove the gadget wheel for... 0:54 - 1:47 emote crap. I'm still wondering who thought that was good idea.

The main issue is the lack of true DLC content

I crazy to believe we got Kill the e justice league and not the Batman beyond game with Damien Wayne as the New Batman

Gotham Knights was okay to me. I still go on patrol with my buddy and do endgame stuff but i enjoy the general gameplay. Game could move faster but I'd take this over Suicide Squad anyday.

I said: still better than SSKTJL. A sequel that fix and improve the shortcoming could only help.

Am so tired of dc trying to make fortnite clones it didn't work with gotham knights it didnt work with suicide squad and it just makes me heavily doubt whatever the womder woman game is gonna be

Do not put the Beyond suit on babs, you will not be able to focus

We better get some DCU posters and marketing materials with Nightwing doing the butt pose

12:42 - there were Comic Book DLC skins - - DC had a Batman Gotham Knights series (6 issues) each issue had a different skin for weapons for each character, a color drop for the suits, and if you collected all the comics you got a "cowboy" themed skins for each character.

I hate that you cant straight up counter attacks lol. Somthing about that annoys me so much. An yeah Jason is a visual abomination

Why do they think we'd even want any emotes in a batman game

The writing for that scene where the kids tease him while he's making the video in case he dies.. the writing works and I enjoy what its doing but there's this weird vacuous energy to it. Like there's soo much empty air between almost every line and so much of the delivery feels muted. Idk if it needed a score underneath or to build to some kind of crescendo or just a quicker pace but idk, something about it just feels off

Quick note. Every single negative a person can mention about this game is present in Spider-Man 2.

After playing suicide squad this game doesn’t look as bad as it did before

The thing is that they surely killed Bruce twice to make sure that the future of this franchise was these nobodies, how did that turn out?With the cancellation of the DLCs and burying this universe... Goood.

This game probably would of been more alive if it was crossplay at launch and even when they did add crossplay it wasn’t an option on PlayStation

The fact that Nightwing can glide with the wings in his suit already let me know I wasn’t gonna like it a whole lot. I enjoyed it somewhat but the combat system is so bad lol.

The dancing had me dying. Needed that this morn.

Just make a Batman Arkham Origins 2 or whatever. There's literal years between Arkham Origins and Asylum, more than enough to milk the cow with decent content instead of... well this.

There is enjoyment to be had with this game but there's no mistaking it's flawed. I've been playing it and I do recommend trying it for yourself, primarily with a friend. There a small tweaks that could have pushed this game much higher, I was okay with the the combat not being 1 to 1 with Arkham but there's almost a stutter to both that and general movement

Me playing Gotham knights after playing ssktjl Perhaps I judged you too harshly

At least Batman got a better death than in Suicide Squad.

The only thing I can say about this game is potential. Make combat little bit faster, polish traversal system with some improvements and add more character growth.

What's funny to me is this game would have been a great live service game, and Suicide Squad should never have been one

M enterprises you never miss always facts can you do a video on your preferred rosters for superhero teams or do a superhero team ranking

Why does Batman sound like Markiplier

I’m ngl this games campaign felt like it was made purely for red hood to me, red hood can mostly relate to Bruce with the pit and almost all the dialogue seemed to make red hood the character that’s supposed to be doing everything

Sucks that one of my favorite Batman villains, the Court, has been fumbled thrice. At this point, just adapt the comic ver batum because no one can get the mystery right😭

To be honest I feel like the only reason I got through this game was because I was playing with a friend. I mean its fun to play it in co-op but if I played it alone I think I would've gotten really bored quick. Doesn't help the enemies are so dam spongy. Also yea barbra got that cake in this game and guess who I picked.

The only thing l liked about the game is where you can play as the Bat-Family. I just wished they would have made the story better. It bugged me they had to kill Batman not once but twice.

Such a great Batsuit.

thank you for putting on words what I thought first: why tf do Jason look like that???

Still better than Suicide Squad: Kill The Arkham Fandom.

The Gotham Knights is clearly a game rebooted from scratch a lot of times and suffered from behind the scenes shit, considering we had leaks of Damian Court of Owls ever since Arkham Knight.

You obviously didn't use Nightwing's default costume.

I didn’t watch any of the dialogue inside of the belfry

I’d personally like to see a Batwoman dlc

ah he said it! he said it! 6:22 - 6:27

Am sorry but someone at dc legit has a hate boner for batman cuz the amount of batman media that doesn't have batman is crazy, like 2 times its okay but more than 3 thats not a coincidence, you got Titans tv show Batwoman season 1-3 Gotham knights the tv show Gotham knights the game Suicide squad the game

7:11 I’m worried that Rocksteady might remember they introduced Cadmus tech in Arkham City. “Oh look, the JL is still alive just being harvested for evil clones by Brainiac. See?! Let it play out!”

1:12 why’d they give Jason some clunky ass dance moves 😢

I find it weird that they use ras al gul and talia algul as villain and didn, t used damian because there was a story to be told there also why does tim outfit look like damian rebirth suit

Its like afther the Batman death they slowly got lazy

This game had so much potential and thats what frustrates me the most about it. I bought it on sale and was still horribly disappointed. Now I just have a game that i have no intentions of finishing sitting in my library lol.

"they should include the joker" but he died in city

To me Gotham Knights is more canon to the Arkam universe than SSKTJL

Here Comes The Spider Maann

A few errors you made. 2:05 IM SORRY WHAT DID YOU SAY??? Goombas dont jump. You jump ON goombad. You mean Mario from Mario. Probably just a slipup. Also i agree man, these characters are just stereotypes. Man Bat is in this game

11:19 red hood tries Batman.. watch nightwing reaction

Better than SSKTJL

They should added Stephanie, Cassandra, Kate, Jean Paul, Damian, Luke, even Helena. Why just use the og 4 considering that this Batman has been Batman for like 15 years? Makes no sense.

i swear this dialogue was written by disney. corny af. none of them are acting even close to their original characters. im all for reinvention but calling nightwing a 'himbo' is freakin disrespectful and not funny.

Could've been better, I can agree At least it's not as horrendous as "Kill The Justice League"

Fred is so relatable 💀💀💀💀 4:12 Ik bro sniffed that shit 4:52

We need dlc now

Ok, but what DO we do if Batman dies to Crazy Quilt?

Honestly it would’ve been better if they just had Bruce presumed dead and brainwashed. He can still die in a grand sacrifice in the end.

Knights, Avengers, & SSKJL all had promise but like the newer Assassins Creed games, the RPG look sucks, micro transactions, the traversal is too stupid & too gamey like Fortnight (Nightwing) *and some dialogues in all games, either the writing or acting isn’t it. Didn’t play any of them but watched gameplays & cutscenes. Sometimes they didn’t feel like they were a family, friends, or had good chemistry.

ain't no way they actually addded dancing 1:39

13:25 😂

Rocksteady and wb games shouldn't cook again

0:44 to 1:48 was perfect

3:40 😂😂😂😂😂😂

6:19 trust me bro it could be worse they could’ve pulled the Suicide Squad 1 movie Jared let tow joker treatment and made this joker and probably made joker if he were in Gotham knights a stripper I’m just saying it COULD be worse

Yeah the Mystic Jump is Dumb. I think this game should’ve been *We Are Robin.* What do you think? How to make We Are Robin game work, is make it more 3D Beat em up inspired by Warriors 2005 game including Parkour. Or Persona 5(you the know the comparison both teams of teenagers having a double life they both take the train, both of them have A Member who do Mission Control like The Robin has Alfred aka The Nest, and Shug-R while The Phantom Thieves has Futaba. Really similar to Barbra Gordan being Oracle) You control one character and the other are CPU in your commands just like the Warriors. The Robins’ tech is not Bruce Wayne Batman level. So they don’t have any gliders. They just grapple hook guns later in the game made by DaxAtax. Each Robin has their own unique stats. And their own unique. While Robina has reliance on speed and Dre-B-Robbin is Heavy muscle. I was thinking this game is the chance to expand more on TheTroyWonder until he dies. And not just the high levels of criminals, Also High levels of Cops to be avoid including James Gordon and his mech Rookie aka *“Rabbit Batman.”* with him and GCPD arrest criminals and vigilantes it would give stakes to the player. 4:37 I was thinking at the Beginning in We Are Robins game you have runs from the Cops and Rabbit Batman, but the most missions and bosses you beat later in the game Rabbit Batman and Cops will help The Robins out. Even give the Robins upgrade armor like Luke Fox gave to Duke. The Robins will fight street level criminals but Their main villain would be the Court of Owls, no League of Assassins. As Talon in the We are Robin was out killing people in the streets and there is the Robin War event. Also We Are Robin game can also capitalize the Batman villains, Mister Bloom. Seriously why he hasn’t appeared in other media. The game can use other villains, Anarky, Fire-Fly, Mad Hatter, Professor Pyg, DollMaker. Like Duke Thomas fought against Penguin and other Batman villain by himself. That can work in both We Are Robin and Gotham Knights. Clownhunter can be a good addition as the Loner type. Or Azrael. Also Duke Thomas won’t use his Metahuman super powers. This game will be All fist and Skill. I know it is silly a bunch of random kids fighting super villains but it something interesting. If Harley Quinn a crazy woman with no powers can do it anything is possible.

Look at Arkham Knights DLCs. Every Charakter has all Animations. They Just had to give Them Motorcycles and there WE have IT.😮 WHAT IS THE PROBLEM

4:51 I wish I was that guy

Is there a lore reason for this?

😂😂😂😂 adding a joe budden rant is gold

I was interested in Gotham Knights, until I saw the banter with Gen z slang between the characters
