Despite concluding in 2015 with Batman Arkham Knight…the legacy of the Batman Arkham series has continued with new installments in the franchise, and its influence is palpable in other superhero and action games. Last summer, I covered the whole Arkham franchise, so I thought I’d re-post these videos and include some new segments on news and announcements that have happened since.

    2:14:52 My thoughts on the live service superhero games are this. The concept of them works well ON PAPER because they (and this is an odd comparison) feel like a less-cartoony version of the Lego superhero games with a lesser emphasis on puzzles. HOWEVER, in practice they just become an excuse for publishers (and movie studios in the case of The Avengers game) to charge exorbitant prices for cosmetic items. Looking back at The Avengers game, for example, *I* FEEL that most people wouldn’t necessarily mind paying maybe $5.00 for the Captain America: The Winter Soldier costume for Captain America; but it was outrageous that you had to pay an upwards of maybe $10.00 for it (although that has been nullified because in the game’s last update, Crystal Dynamics made all the cosmetics available to everyone for free).

    The arkham Knight isn't supposed to be a mystery. The arkham knight's identity is used to show batman's emotional state. He intentionally asks Alfred to Check out people that he has already arrested, so that there maybe is a possibility that the knight isn't jason. "Batman has rarely let himself ruled by his emotions. Catwoman seems to be able to manipulate batman's feelings, as does the daughter of Rā's al Ghül, Talia. But when Batman encounters the mysterious arkham knight, he ignores, perhaps deliberately, clues to the knight's identity. For if the arkham Knight is who Batman secretly suspects him to be, then that means he has truly failed someone he considers family." Taken from Batman arkham universe the ultimate visual guide

    I have a complicated relationship with Arkham Knight. There are things that I liked, such as the improvement to combat, better gliding, a badass Batsuit that actually looks terrifying, and actually exploring Gotham City instead of a re-skinned Arkham City map like Origins was. (Don't get it twisted, I still love Origins.) But, there's also things that I absolutely hate, like the overabundance of tank battles, the misuse of the Bat Family, the entire story should've been about the League of Assassins' shadow war instead of Scarecrow talking about fear for the 1000th time, and the damn Joker sub-plot is massive plothole. And I still maintain the opinion that the Arkham Knight should've been Damian Wayne instead of Jason Todd.

    I was re-playing the Arkham Trilogy for the umpteenth time and a thought occurred to me: the biggest villain in Rocksteady's trilogy of games is not Ra's al Ghul, Scarecrow or even the Joker. It's Dr. Penelope Young. Were it not for her ambition and for blindly accepting money from Jack White without properly vetting him when, even Batman states that "Jack White" is a known alias of the Joker, not to mention the fact that she'd been torturing and draining Bane of the venom (which most likely wasn't even pure after he injected himself with TN-1) in his body to secretly create Titan, the chain of events, which ultimately lead to Batman's downfall would never have been set into motion. If she didn't renege on the deal with the Joker, he'd have had no reason to set fire to Blackgate to have his crew moved to Arkham or to get captured himself to retrieve the formula. Batman wouldn't have stopped him, and he'd not have ODed on Titan, and poisoned his blood. When Arkham City opened, which likely happened far sooner than Hugo Strange and Ra's al Ghul would have expected after the events at the Asylum, Joker wouldn't have ever been able to ship his poisoned blood to area hospitals and to poison Batman. Then, in Arkham Knight, the 4 infected with the Joker's blood wouldn't have fed into Batman's fears of becoming the Joker himself (after he effectively cured himself from the Titan/Joker blood), which only grew stronger after being hit with the Scarecrow's worst fear toxin he'd ever concocted. Batman's growing irrationality and inability to think properly thereafter ultimately lead to him making the stupidest mistakes in his entire (Arkham) career, and bring about his own downfall. What makes Dr. Young such an unwitting, albeit insidious villain in the franchise is that she was the one villain Batman never stopped. Batman went up against 8 assassins. He apprehended Mr. Freeze. He stopped Titan Joker, shut down Arkham City, reformed the Arkham Knight (inasmuch as he no longer had the desire to employ a militia and to destroy Gotham City to get to Batman) and he stopped the Scarecrow. Meanwhile, Dr. Young produced Titan under his and everyone else's noses, while he was looking away, pursuing all the "good" villains. By the time the Joker kills her, it's far too late for anything to be done. Without her, Batman would never have "died." I bring this up because it was an observation of mine and I've never really seen anyone do a video about her. Granted, she's not a villain in the conventional sense, or even a particularly bad person. But, it wasn't the police who brought down Al Capone, but the IRS. In the Arkhamverse, it's not the "good" villains who brought down the Bat, but an Arkham doctor.

Honestly hoping to see Arkham Shadow when it comes out, the interviews from the fans with the creators you can actually feel the passion for the series and their game. Do I have high expectations for said game, no. Don’t have the console and not going to hype itself for me. What no do expect that it will definitely be better than KTJL which isn’t that hard, but I’m happy to explore more of a post Origin’s Batman in this game.

    Played all of these at launch (minus Origins which I've had on my backlog forever) and all of them were excellent even if a bit flawed. Asylum was one of the most incredible games of it's year, 2009, where I felt that generation of consoles finally started to realize their full potential. I remember City coming out right before Uncharted 3 so that I managed to finish both of them despite real life getting more and more hectic, speaks a lot to their quality. I legit only got Knight because a friend of mine got a free code with their new graphics card and didn't have an interest in it, the launch was rough but my system played it fine thankfully. I never 100%ed any of the games but have always had the urge to give it a try, even if my age it's a very tall order.

    Back in April I got the Arkham collection for a $5.99 PSN sale. Played asylum and city and loved them so much to the point where I bought the original versions for PS3. Despite return to Arkham being my first time playing the games I actually like the og graphics more and deleted return to Arkham off my PS5 mainly because it took up way too much space 70GB total combined. In May I got a PS3 copy of origins off Amazon for like $24 and liked it but the lack of polish overall made it not as good as the first two. And Arkham Knight which I started and finished in June. I completely understand the disappointment but I loved it and so far is my favorite Arkham game mainly because the gameplay felt like it was at its peak just playing the game felt amazing and very polished. I actually like what they did with the Batmobile and kinda liked the tank battles but I feel like how much you like the game will depend on how much one likes or tolerates the Batmobile and the story but despite its flaws I even liked the story. After playing all of the main Arkham games I can proudly say that I’m an Arkham fan though I’m not very interested in Arkham Shadow given that I’m not into V.R. games so I haven’t been following it much. Sorry for typing a whole paragraph😂 doubt anyone will read this.

    2:14:52 My thoughts on the live service superhero games are this. The concept of them works well ON PAPER because they (and this is an odd comparison) feel like a less-cartoony version of the Lego superhero games with a lesser emphasis on puzzles. HOWEVER, in practice they just become an excuse for publishers (and movie studios in the case of The Avengers game) to charge exorbitant prices for cosmetic items. Looking back at The Avengers game, for example, *I* FEEL that most people wouldn’t necessarily mind paying maybe $5.00 for the Captain America: The Winter Soldier costume for Captain America; but it was outrageous that you had to pay an upwards of maybe $10.00 for it (although that has been nullified because in the game’s last update, Crystal Dynamics made all the cosmetics available to everyone for free).

    Its so sad seeing these kind of videos with titles relating to rocksteady's downfall , i cant belive this franchise turned into this . I remember back in batman arkham city days where after the reveal that you can play as catwoman , robin and nightwing , the fandom saw the possibility of rocksteady being in charge of a dc universe game franchise. I personally thought that we would get a teen tians game after arkham knight , just a way to test the waters on playing as a metahuman before we get to the superman game that everybody was begging for .

    honestly i know they made entire VR promo about bruce having nightmares about killing bat family and turning into joker so that's why he keeps them away in arkham knight but i feel like they actually should have been utilised much more the game itself feels 8 hours too short, so much unused content and actual crime scene is used only once in entire game maybe instead of focusing on arkham militia thugs saying that they have boyfriends they should have focused more on actually making the full game

    To be fair, in my eyes, the tru Arkham series never went down. But when a company tries to continue a franchise by connecting a new game with the older one, and fail, that’s where misconceptions begin. Honestly they should’ve just let Arkham Batman alone and branched off into a different timeline. Why did they have to do that anyways? Batman’s journey in the Arkham universe had a good ending. Leave him be!

    Suicide Squad is so out of place. Literally the Arkham Series was about the warfare between Batman and Joker and that ended with Knight. They even did a call back to previous Arkham games in the credits of Knight. There is no fall of the Arkham Series because the story was already complete. Also the amount of plot holes and the completely changed character designs disconnects suicide squad completely despite them saying it’s connected.

Also considering the report came from Jason Schreier, the guy who admitted that he knew about all the toxic stuff going on at Blizzard and chose not to say anything until he could capitalize on it, I wouldn’t trust anything that dude says at face value.

It's a shame what happened to the Arkhamverse it could've been great but Rocksteady wasted their potential. World's Finest or Justice League would've made more sense than Suicide Squad if they wanted to continue the Arkhamverse. I don't know what Rocksteady was thinking but never let them cook again.
