1:43:37 I was sold after Origins but even more so now. Give Roger a full trilogy as Arkham Batman. His delivery and emotion is palpable. And ofc Troy Baker is captivating as always. What a great scene with some super talented actors
This game makes me really hate Crane way more than Arkham Asylum and even Knight given the fact he was responsible for not creating this mess in Arkham Shadow but also creating Two Face it kinda makes the scene from Arkham Aslyum where he gets almost eaten by Croc leaving only his damage face a lot more deserving for what he did in this game. That being said, Elijah Wood did an amazing job as Dr Crane (plus he sounded a lot like Dino Andrade who did Scarecrow in Arkham Aslyum.) I think he would be great as a live action Scarecrow/Crane in either DCU Batman story or more likely in Matt Reeves The Batman 2?
This game definitely has all the marks of an amazing prequel. It outright breaks basically no lore (the biggest actual hole in the game is them getting the year in the Cyrus Pinkney logs wrong), and only improves moments that happen after. This game nearly single handedly fixed the series' portrayal of Two Face in my eyes.
@@mwkcope i was going to comment on how the arkham city interview tapes were retconned but technically they aren't! he said falcone was going down, and malone was technically working with falcone. they really did their homework and were careful on how to fit this game into the timeline.
I got to meet Roger Craig Smith at the Adelaide comicon today even if only briefly, spoke about how surreal it was to be able to voice such an iconic character. Very talented voice actor and I hope that they continue to make more Arkham games and he along with Troy keep voicing these characters
1:49:37 this right here is why troy is the best in the business, as overused as he is, lines where he doesn't even finish a word sound so realistic and in-moment. He also did the same thing in TLOU part two with saying "fireflies" in the beginning.
Man that final scene in Lee's office is so freaking heart breaking. Definitely one of Harvey's shining moments in any DC property, imo. Troy Baker smashed it out of the park, as usual
I never watch ANY other Batman gameplay but yours. I could've spoiled myself and watch other gameplays but I patiently waited for your videos. And it definitely paid off. Thank you for the perfect gameplay once again. Can't wait for the obligatory 6 hour longplay in a year.
Fascinating that Crane both intentionally and accidentally made Two-Face. He probably knew about Harvey's familial mental health issues, so was experimenting on his mind with psychoanalysis and chemicals to see what would happen, which brought up the Rat King; then, accidentally deforming Harvey brought out the stronger "shadow" of Two-Face, who overruled the Rat King's sincere albeit misguided altruism, changing him from someone wanting to "save" Gotham to someone(s) wanting to simultaneously save and destroy it.
So, because of the presence of Two-Face within him, Dent forgot that he is the Rat King and that Bruce is Batman. Similar to what the Titan did to Bane.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Shades of JUDGEMENT DAY. That was the final episode of Batman The Animated Series & New Batman Adventures that show Batman battle a ruthless, merciless vigilante known as the Judge. The Judge was really Two Face & NEITHER the Judge or Two Face knew the truth because the Judge was a 3rd personality that was so separate that Two Face tried to kill himself without ever realizing it. The Judge knew EVERYTHING about Two Face - EXCEPT that he was Two Face.
@@MyJanvic Yeah, I also think the chemicals that Crane was dosing Harvey with damaged his short term memory. I saw an interesting theory that Two-Face may have remembered when Scarecrow unmasked Batman, but doesn't allow Harvey to believe it to protect him.
@@slickbat6887 A lot of Batman: TAS villains would have episode endings where it seemed like they would reform, but later they return to villainy anyway and sometimes worse than before. So, I felt hopeful for Dent after his initial Two-Face defeat, since it seemed like with the support from Bruce and Grace, he would get better. But a tie-in comic had the Joker annoyed at Two-Face, so he spread a fake story that Bruce and Grace were dating, which made a jealous Two-Face break out and kidnap Grace. Two-Face was defeated, but Grace stopped visiting him because she believed the Harvey she knew was gone. Even though Two-Face also loved Grace, his love turned into a desire to control, yet upon being cut off, he disregarded her and became even more dominant over Harvey. And of course, Dent's continuously broken mind eventually created the Judge, which caused his complete mental breakdown, so he was almost comatose. I think the Judge was also a projection of his original belief in justice, but twisted into violence; similar to this game's Rat King, although occurring in a different order.
1:51:20 And indeed, they are Unfortunately, there is not even a single game of Harvey being the judge like his BTAS version 1:34:20 So Crane causing Harvey other personality out, before the trial, just for his therapy research This sure make his defeat in AK more satisfying
I mean the dude looked like a drug addict in the past and now now he looks like that old male librarian who smokes at lunch time so I guess it's fine Bruce doesn't recognize his face. Rehab does wonders I guess 🤷
All right. The stakes felt high at all times, even before you beat up Lyle Bolton and got sent to Solitary as an example to "hooligans who got put away for minor crimes". I have to say, rocksteady should have just released this game in 2024 and put the Suicide Squad game through six more months of test playing and story testing. No half-baked Arkham game tie ins with this game, and the amount of thought and detail shines through at every turn. Thanks BAV for playing through this for us.
Also, I love how the game builds up Malone's reputation from a newcomer without a past to a prisoner's best friend and until he's mistakenly deemed the Rat King, hero of the incarcerated.
From the way I understand, Crane is responsible for creating Two-Face in the same way that Batman was part of it. There are a lot of silver linings that made Dent the way he is in the Arkhamverse, and Scarecrow is one of the key components that helped build Two-Face up.
So Two-Face comes out because of Crane’s treatments and then is fully realized when the acid gets on his face and goes straight to the bloodstream. Also, does this mean Two-Face/Rat King did everything just to get Joe Chill for Bruce??
I just want to say, your gameplay is the best I've seen and the fact you play all the options and provide the full experience for those of us who can't play is extremely appreciated.
Regarding the acid scene, I noticed something interesting when rewatching Two-Face's dialogue in Arkham Knight. Harvey says "I'm a freak because of you", Batman says "That wasn't my fault" and Two-Face says "You're the man who put that acid-throwing bastard in the dock" after which Batman says "I'm sorry, Harvey." Clearly, this was originally supposed to mean that Batman caught the guy who threw the acid in Dent's face, but the dialogue actually works perfectly well if Dent isn't talking to Batman at all. Harvey says "I'm a freak because of you" to TWO-Face, and Two-Face responds "You're the man who put the acid-throwing bastard in the dock." Batman responds because he thinks Dent is talking to him, but it's actually the two halves arguing about Harvey's decision to rush Malone to court.
@ I understand:) it’s kinda dumb they didn’t charge crane for attempted murder since he’s the one who tried to kill Malone, Malone was in the right to protect himself.
Let's face it, if Gordon didn't feel like having a pissing contest and pinning the title of Rat King on Malone, this wouldn't have caused Two-Face to be born.
@@MMTrigger pretty sure he'd still have personality disorder but it would develop way slower & he wouldn't become a crime boss with hatred to bruce wayne
Ladies and Gentlemans i must say, even if this game is made to vr, this is really a arkham game, it was great, i love watching the gameplay and the story, mainly because of the batman arkham video. It was a great experience
I wonder how Dent forgot that Bruce was Batman? Well, it could be that in the fall, he let himself forget who Bruce was, until in Arkham Knight. Also, another thing could be that, his disorder being the identity disorder, left his memory unable to remember things well.
There's no need to theorize. Leslie literally says that "the memories of what happened that night are fading away with each new day". Basically, his Two-Face persona degrades his mind and that makes him forget Bruce is Batman.
It’s because of his DID. I have a mild interest in mental disorders so I think I can answer this one. Harvey in Shadow doesn’t remember anything Two-Face does, so I think he has a dissociative barrier - basically, if one alter fronts (or controls the body if you will), the other can’t and also forgets what the other did. It’s why Harvey doesn’t have any awareness of being the Rat King or remembering Bruce’s identity - the trauma of falling off a building doesn’t help I think. Dissociative barriers can be broken overtime though, which I think is why by the time of City Harvey and Two-Face talk as fluently as they do and are able to respond to each other
@@endingboyhanselnot to mention he's probably on like five different painkillers as canonically he has first, second and third degree burns so he's probably not all there. Plus those chemicals are probably toxic and causing brain damage.
BAV, thank you for posting this. I’ve been watching your videos for years. Your channel is truly special. As someone who can’t afford VR this is my only way to experience this gem of a game and as a sequel to Arkham origins, I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s truly special and I couldn’t be happier to experience this game through your channel. Again thank you so much :) ❤ also congratulations on 1 million subs!
Alright, I'm convinced: this is the BEST Arkham-verse story to date! So many genuinely amazing (and surprising) connections between characters, weaving their origins together. So many loving callbacks to the Origins games. And we FINALLY get an interesting take on Harvey Dent and Jonathan Crane. After all, Joker isn't just his laugh gas; there's far more to him! Scarecrow should have depth, too! I hope to see more of this care given to character writing in the future for this series! I could FEEL the paranoia in this episode, as well, as Bruce had things slip through his fingers and unwittingly becoming the Rat King. It was very disturbing. Just an incredible experience, all around! Bravo to the team behind Arkham Shadow, and to Arkham Videos for the great physical performance, not just in combat, but during investigations and conversations!👏👏
The Question? HOLY SHIT! Vic Sage just teased his own superhero origin story. And he's been training with Wildcat? I smell the next game set in the Arkhamverse.
1:24:48 Dude, for a guy as thorough as you are, I can't believe you didn't let us listen to the final ramblings of the Rat King both through the intercoms and during the reveal😅
Easily the best story in the entire Arkham franchise. Some of the plot points I never saw coming at all. Now, this in the kind of storytelling and execution fans want and expect from the Arkham series, not some co-op or live-service third person shooter crap.
I mean, the flashbacks were an obvious foreshadow of what was to come. It was pretty clear that the game was telling us that Harvey's role is important to the story, and we all know why.
One problem I have with this story is why didn’t Batman tell Gordon about his plan to go uncover into Blackgate. I feel if Gordon knew, he could’ve stopped Harvey from putting “malone ” on trial and in turn stop Harvey from getting burned
I assumed Batman think Gordon would try to provide protection, which may caught any attention (Bolton prove this to be true), which got exposed the whole plan
According to TVTropes, he kept Gordon in the dark because he was worried that the plan would leak to the corrupt cops under Gordon's command. He may have trusted Gordon but he still didn't trust the GCPD.
Batman trusts Gordon, but not the people below Gordon. Things have a habit of leaking from GCPD and it would be wise to keep information that Batman’s going undercover quiet, especially when he’s surrounded by all the violent criminals he put there.
Long time viewer here, as always I love your gameplays and this game is no exception. At first I thought this game was going to be cool, but wow it exceeded all my expectations, I loved this story and all the cool little details. You're amazing as always BAV, thanks for this playthrough, can't wait for more videos and the easter eggs
@@gleove1 how about this for the DLC story? The Ventriloquist & Scarface are trying to break out of Blackgate to become the new crime boss in Gotham & Batman must prevent that by stopping them from escaping.
I recently got into your videos and am I glad I did? It has recently become the best part of my day when you post Hope you have a great rest of the year ❤❤❤
1:01:41. So THIS is how Bruce was able to break his restraints while fighting Penguin's thugs at the beginning of "Arkham City". He learned this move while calling himself Irving "Matches" Malone in "Arkham Shadow".
1:49:37 this right here is why troy is the best in the business, as overused as he is, lines where he doesn't even finish a word sound so realistic and in-moment. He also did the same thing in TLOU part two with saying "fireflies" in the beginning.
Best story in the Arkham series, and it's from a VR game. If a new dev team that has nothing to do with Rocksteady and WB Montreal can pull this out, it shows how much impatcful this series was, and how much beloved it is to this very day
I know this isn't a high bar but this was better then that Suicide Squad game we got earlier this year, it had a better story (again not a high bar), good character arcs, a pretty decent twist and the thing that I appreciate about the previous Arkham games some sort of call back to Batman TAS in this case the episode where a mysterious judge is going around targeting criminals for everything they've done. I also like the stuff about Joe Chill, in the comics he's usually killed off at the end of the story arc that he's involved in but here he's spared and we never find out what happened to him although if this game gets DLC we might.
Might be my favorite ending in the series honestly. On a side note, has anyone been having trouble with the peripheral HUD (enemies remaining in predator encounters, data scanned in detective vision, etc.) being too annoyingly out of focus? Like it’s just a little too far to the left/right? Adjusting the lens spacing hasn’t solved this for me.
Arkham Origins Batman is able to take 3 hits from a TN-1 Bane and still remain conscious. 1:26:33 Arkham Shadows Batman is instantly knocked out by a simple headbutt from Two-Face
That's because he knew Bane was going to attack him. You can prepare yourself for an attack if you know it's coming. If you don't, you can get caught off guard. Also, hits to the gut can knock you down, but not out. Hits to the face? That's more of an automatic KO.
He had his guard down, along with having been beaten and bruised over the course the game for over a week compared one night like other games, man had hardly little time to recover beside regular sleep and the shot from Leslie to help out with his broken ribs.
@@spinozilla2421 Wouldn't he have more time to recover than in Origins though. Given he's gotten more sleep & the story took place over multiple days as opposed to Origins where it was all in the span of a night.
@ yes but no, thing to note are the injuries, and Compared to Origins, the damage he took are more severe, as yeah punch from bane is nasty, but thing note all damage he took in Origin was in Batsuit, with zero brusies shown when he takes his helmet off later on and looks fine in Cold Cold Heart that took place 6 days after. Shadow alot of damage he take is when in the Malone disguise, he shown getting KO mutplie times by Bolton and the Gaurds alot of the hit to the heads, and we can see when looking in the mirror in your prison room, Bruce face is bruised, and broken ribs by Bolton with medicine he took noted only to help out with his ribs, so his body is defintly sore this can also been seen with how bruised his hands are even after 2 weeks. so later down line his batsuit may be peak condition, but body his isn’t.
52:18 I still don’t get why they blame Malone for that. Crane was the one holding the acid, Malone was defending himself, it’s Crane’s fault for what happened.
Yet he is the one who slam on Harvey face Crane definitely are wrong, but overall Malone still responsible causing that + plus being a criminal really can put other view a bit biased
Still making my way through this video but thank you so much for this series, BAV! I just couldn't watch anyone else while waiting for your playthrough because I knew these were worth the wait. I love how you incorporated a mini narrative of your own with the small hand gestures and movements (audibly chuckled at at 37:45), even making it seem like Batman notices most of the collectibles through observation rather than just beelining to them. Kudos to you dude, keep up the quality work.
I will admit, I (I assume this with others as well) was very skeptical of this game for the sole basis of it being on VR and I was worried that it wasn't going to be good like the others. But, I'm glad that I was proven wrong and that I enjoyed this game with its risk and direction of breaking the "all in one-night" and "only the Bats" functions that all the other games had. I enjoyed this video series overall with how entertaining it was. And for you, Batman Arkham Videos, thank you for dedicating so much time to playing these games for us when most of us don't have the money to buy these games for a good while. Along with the dedication that you put into showing us all of the secrets, collectibles, and such with the combination of being an expert of the combat and stealth sections that makes it very enjoyable for us to view. Thank you 😊
If any of you have played The Chronicles of Riddick Game, Escape From Butcher Bay, this game already rings similar in that we play in first person, having our run of a prison- but when Otis Flannegan began to speak, it gave me severe Pope Joe vibes. Khary Payton does an amazing job and Rest in Peace to Willis Burkes II, Pope Joe.
The script for this game is wonderful!!! You can see that the writers really liked Batman and read a lot of comics and watched the animated séries, you can se the love and inspiration on Batman EGO and Batman: the eye of beyonder. These writers have a really good taste for Batman and this has a really good prequel and really good Two-Face story and worthy of the charecter hope. Hope any Batman related game have such good stories was this one have
I feel like so much of this is really easy to call before they even happen, but... The writing is just so good, I didn't want to predict anything. The only thing I predicted was the identity of the Rat King. But everything else? About Harvey, about Joe, about Malone being the "Cause".. It's all set up so well that you could predict it, but it all worked out SO unbelievably well. These writers did everything perfectly for this story. And as always, YOU did perfectly on the gameplay! So many people covering this game, but I couldn't indulge it any other way for my first viewing than on your channel. Kudos to you, BAV. I was there for your beginning, and I'll be here until the end.

1:11:49 He’s training with Wildcat to become The Question. I wonder how that turns out
Question Open World AAA Game when, Rocksteady?
The best part is that he's voiced by David Dastmalchian, who has been a DC voice acting staple. Would love to see his version of the Question.
I got to meet Roger Craig Smith at the Adelaide comicon today even if only briefly, spoke about how surreal it was to be able to voice such an iconic character. Very talented voice actor and I hope that they continue to make more Arkham games and he along with Troy keep voicing these characters
RCS is legendary. Alas, he also played as Chris Redfield.
@MyJanvic also Ezio from AC, Sonic too. His list of iconic characters is nuts
1:43:06 THAT VOICE ACTING IS REALLY GOOD!!!
Troy Baker the GOAT baby, can't believe a VR game gave us a top 5 arkham moments of all time
How you know the video just came out
@@painguy_404Bc people have already played it including myself
That scream from Troy Baker is GOOD!
1:49:37 this right here is why troy is the best in the business, as overused as he is, lines where he doesn't even finish a word sound so realistic and in-moment. He also did the same thing in TLOU part two with saying "fireflies" in the beginning.
Man that final scene in Lee's office is so freaking heart breaking. Definitely one of Harvey's shining moments in any DC property, imo. Troy Baker smashed it out of the park, as usual
I still can’t believe that they included an old Joe Chill in the game. I really wish they included a conversation between him and Bruce.
This might be the best Two-Face origin I've ever seen
I love your running gag of dumping the soda bottle into the soup pot every time 😂
I never watch ANY other Batman gameplay but yours. I could've spoiled myself and watch other gameplays but I patiently waited for your videos. And it definitely paid off. Thank you for the perfect gameplay once again. Can't wait for the obligatory 6 hour longplay in a year.
Fascinating that Crane both intentionally and accidentally made Two-Face. He probably knew about Harvey's familial mental health issues, so was experimenting on his mind with psychoanalysis and chemicals to see what would happen, which brought up the Rat King; then, accidentally deforming Harvey brought out the stronger "shadow" of Two-Face, who overruled the Rat King's sincere albeit misguided altruism, changing him from someone wanting to "save" Gotham to someone(s) wanting to simultaneously save and destroy it.
So, because of the presence of Two-Face within him, Dent forgot that he is the Rat King and that Bruce is Batman. Similar to what the Titan did to Bane.
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 Shades of JUDGEMENT DAY.
That was the final episode of Batman The Animated Series & New Batman Adventures that show Batman battle a ruthless, merciless vigilante known as the Judge.
The Judge was really Two Face & NEITHER the Judge or Two Face knew the truth because the Judge was a 3rd personality that was so separate that Two Face tried to kill himself without ever realizing it.
The Judge knew EVERYTHING about Two Face - EXCEPT that he was Two Face.
@@slickbat6887 There was another episode with a similar idea written by Dini, I forget the name of it though.
@@MyJanvic Yeah, I also think the chemicals that Crane was dosing Harvey with damaged his short term memory. I saw an interesting theory that Two-Face may have remembered when Scarecrow unmasked Batman, but doesn't allow Harvey to believe it to protect him.
@@slickbat6887 A lot of Batman: TAS villains would have episode endings where it seemed like they would reform, but later they return to villainy anyway and sometimes worse than before.
So, I felt hopeful for Dent after his initial Two-Face defeat, since it seemed like with the support from Bruce and Grace, he would get better.
But a tie-in comic had the Joker annoyed at Two-Face, so he spread a fake story that Bruce and Grace were dating, which made a jealous Two-Face break out and kidnap Grace. Two-Face was defeated, but Grace stopped visiting him because she believed the Harvey she knew was gone. Even though Two-Face also loved Grace, his love turned into a desire to control, yet upon being cut off, he disregarded her and became even more dominant over Harvey.
And of course, Dent's continuously broken mind eventually created the Judge, which caused his complete mental breakdown, so he was almost comatose. I think the Judge was also a projection of his original belief in justice, but twisted into violence; similar to this game's Rat King, although occurring in a different order.
This is the third Arkham "twist" villain played by Troy Baker
The Joker, Jason Todd, and now Harvey. This mf don’t miss💀🔥
There’s only 5 games 💀💀💀
And he managed to headbutt a man with metal mask while having half his face destroyed.
And Malone is voiced by Garrus Vakarian.
He's good at it
This is how it happened. This is how Batman Arkham Videos uploaded the part 5.
And this is how Two Face came to be.
1:51:20 And indeed, they are
Unfortunately, there is not even a single game of Harvey being the judge like his BTAS version
1:34:20 So Crane causing Harvey other personality out, before the trial, just for his therapy research
This sure make his defeat in AK more satisfying
Holy Roger craig smith with how he did sonic in frontiers and his batman now he is awsome for these roles
I Agree. 👍
Impeccable writing, l'm in love of arkham shadow's story...your gameplay and enthusiasm for arkham games are a cherry on top on this masterpiece BAV.
Roger Craig Smith & Troy Baker Should Definitely Be Successors Of Kevin Conroy And Mark Hamill.
Agreed
@1:54:26 Proud to have my name on the game. Your playthrough of this is the best I’ve seen on TH-cam!
The arkham series understands and handles two-face so damn well. This is why he's my favoyrite rogue.
I can't believe that this whole time, Batman's been conversing with the man that killed his parents. And he didn't even realize it...
I mean the dude looked like a drug addict in the past and now now he looks like that old male librarian who smokes at lunch time so I guess it's fine Bruce doesn't recognize his face.
Rehab does wonders I guess 🤷
The murders were twenty years ago and Joe Chill is a nobody
To be fair he does look different from Bruce’s memory of his parents’ murder (from the first Arkham VR)
That was a really good plot twist.
1:44:41 The dialog and music go together amazingly
Been going through it, glad this got posted when it did
Hope it all gets better ❤️
Same
We believe in you king 👑 be the Batman 🦇
Let’s get thru this together bro
Me too man. Meditation,exercising,and Batman Arkham videos help a lot
This game managed to fix the extremely lacklustre two-face in the Arkhamverse my favorite villain is not generic in this franchise
From sidelined character to probably the best written & most emotionally compelling antagonist in an Arkham game imo.
Troy Baker deserves his flowers for the portrayal of Harvey Dent/Two-Face. Absolute cinema with how the character was handled this time around.
All right. The stakes felt high at all times, even before you beat up Lyle Bolton and got sent to Solitary as an example to "hooligans who got put away for minor crimes". I have to say, rocksteady should have just released this game in 2024 and put the Suicide Squad game through six more months of test playing and story testing. No half-baked Arkham game tie ins with this game, and the amount of thought and detail shines through at every turn.
Thanks BAV for playing through this for us.
Its half baked
52:17 "You know the mob, those guys who dumped acid on us because they couldn't get to you! -Harvey Dent, Arkham Knight
Also, I love how the game builds up Malone's reputation from a newcomer without a past to a prisoner's best friend and until he's mistakenly deemed the Rat King, hero of the incarcerated.
7:48 BAV casually showing us their culinary prowess
From the way I understand, Crane is responsible for creating Two-Face in the same way that Batman was part of it. There are a lot of silver linings that made Dent the way he is in the Arkhamverse, and Scarecrow is one of the key components that helped build Two-Face up.
Very nice surprise from this game. I thought it was gonna be like the tech demo like Arkham VR but no it was a great entry on the series
So Two-Face comes out because of Crane’s treatments and then is fully realized when the acid gets on his face and goes straight to the bloodstream.
Also, does this mean Two-Face/Rat King did everything just to get Joe Chill for Bruce??
1:24:54 "No, oh Harvey". Batman had the same reaction I did when I found out :'(
Amazingly written game. Finished it yesterday . 10/10
This was actually really good. I hope there’s a sequel to this, this time about Ra’s Al Ghul and Catwoman.
I just want to say, your gameplay is the best I've seen and the fact you play all the options and provide the full experience for those of us who can't play is extremely appreciated.
Regarding the acid scene, I noticed something interesting when rewatching Two-Face's dialogue in Arkham Knight.
Harvey says "I'm a freak because of you", Batman says "That wasn't my fault" and Two-Face says "You're the man who put that acid-throwing bastard in the dock" after which Batman says "I'm sorry, Harvey."
Clearly, this was originally supposed to mean that Batman caught the guy who threw the acid in Dent's face, but the dialogue actually works perfectly well if Dent isn't talking to Batman at all. Harvey says "I'm a freak because of you" to TWO-Face, and Two-Face responds "You're the man who put the acid-throwing bastard in the dock." Batman responds because he thinks Dent is talking to him, but it's actually the two halves arguing about Harvey's decision to rush Malone to court.
“Gonna need someone to get me out of all the trouble I get into”
*Proceeds to burn Harvey’s face off*
*unintentionally
@ I understand:) it’s kinda dumb they didn’t charge crane for attempted murder since he’s the one who tried to kill Malone, Malone was in the right to protect himself.
Manbat hamark diovi is awesome!
Also i love in 7:50 that he just dumps the juice in the pot every time. You love to see it.
Let's face it, if Gordon didn't feel like having a pissing contest and pinning the title of Rat King on Malone, this wouldn't have caused Two-Face to be born.
True, but that begs some questions: what would Harvey have turned into if the scarring didn't create a divide? And would anyone have ever noticed?
@@MMTrigger pretty sure he'd still have personality disorder but it would develop way slower & he wouldn't become a crime boss with hatred to bruce wayne
Nah, he already was broken after Cranes treatment, rat king big plan etc, just changed the form
Ladies and Gentlemans i must say, even if this game is made to vr, this is really a arkham game, it was great, i love watching the gameplay and the story, mainly because of the batman arkham video. It was a great experience
I wonder how Dent forgot that Bruce was Batman? Well, it could be that in the fall, he let himself forget who Bruce was, until in Arkham Knight. Also, another thing could be that, his disorder being the identity disorder, left his memory unable to remember things well.
There's no need to theorize. Leslie literally says that "the memories of what happened that night are fading away with each new day".
Basically, his Two-Face persona degrades his mind and that makes him forget Bruce is Batman.
Similar to what Bane experienced.
A theory of mine is that Harvey willingly repressed that memory because he wasn't willing to accept the truth.
It’s because of his DID. I have a mild interest in mental disorders so I think I can answer this one. Harvey in Shadow doesn’t remember anything Two-Face does, so I think he has a dissociative barrier - basically, if one alter fronts (or controls the body if you will), the other can’t and also forgets what the other did. It’s why Harvey doesn’t have any awareness of being the Rat King or remembering Bruce’s identity - the trauma of falling off a building doesn’t help I think. Dissociative barriers can be broken overtime though, which I think is why by the time of City Harvey and Two-Face talk as fluently as they do and are able to respond to each other
@@endingboyhanselnot to mention he's probably on like five different painkillers as canonically he has first, second and third degree burns so he's probably not all there.
Plus those chemicals are probably toxic and causing brain damage.
BAV, thank you for posting this. I’ve been watching your videos for years. Your channel is truly special. As someone who can’t afford VR this is my only way to experience this gem of a game and as a sequel to Arkham origins, I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s truly special and I couldn’t be happier to experience this game through your channel. Again thank you so much :) ❤ also congratulations on 1 million subs!
What a Surprisingly Amazing Game
Alright, I'm convinced: this is the BEST Arkham-verse story to date! So many genuinely amazing (and surprising) connections between characters, weaving their origins together. So many loving callbacks to the Origins games. And we FINALLY get an interesting take on Harvey Dent and Jonathan Crane. After all, Joker isn't just his laugh gas; there's far more to him! Scarecrow should have depth, too! I hope to see more of this care given to character writing in the future for this series! I could FEEL the paranoia in this episode, as well, as Bruce had things slip through his fingers and unwittingly becoming the Rat King. It was very disturbing. Just an incredible experience, all around!
Bravo to the team behind Arkham Shadow, and to Arkham Videos for the great physical performance, not just in combat, but during investigations and conversations!👏👏
The Question? HOLY SHIT! Vic Sage just teased his own superhero origin story. And he's been training with Wildcat? I smell the next game set in the Arkhamverse.
1:24:48 Dude, for a guy as thorough as you are, I can't believe you didn't let us listen to the final ramblings of the Rat King both through the intercoms and during the reveal😅
Easily the best story in the entire Arkham franchise. Some of the plot points I never saw coming at all. Now, this in the kind of storytelling and execution fans want and expect from the Arkham series, not some co-op or live-service third person shooter crap.
Facts
I can't believe that Harvey is the rat king 😳
At least they didn't do The Joker reveal from Arkham origins.
And he Thoguht try to be better city but he didnt.
I mean, the flashbacks were an obvious foreshadow of what was to come. It was pretty clear that the game was telling us that Harvey's role is important to the story, and we all know why.
@@yourbasicninjaI figured it’d be because of his turn to two face. And like he kills the rat king or sum
I thought Joe was gonna be the rat king 😭
"I'm sorry Harvey" - Batman
DARK KNIGHT REFERENCE
"Why was I the only one who had to suffer?"
"You weren't"
No, no you're Not....Not Yet.
0:50 This is definitely Bruce leaving to go travel the world and train under all the various Masters to learn the skills to become Batman!!!
One problem I have with this story is why didn’t Batman tell Gordon about his plan to go uncover into Blackgate. I feel if Gordon knew, he could’ve stopped Harvey from putting “malone ” on trial and in turn stop Harvey from getting burned
I assumed Batman think Gordon would try to provide protection, which may caught any attention (Bolton prove this to be true), which got exposed the whole plan
@@annoying_HK_guy yeah. besides, everyone thought batman killed that guy from chapter 1. So, could you really blame batman for that?
According to TVTropes, he kept Gordon in the dark because he was worried that the plan would leak to the corrupt cops under Gordon's command. He may have trusted Gordon but he still didn't trust the GCPD.
Batman trusts Gordon, but not the people below Gordon. Things have a habit of leaking from GCPD and it would be wise to keep information that Batman’s going undercover quiet, especially when he’s surrounded by all the violent criminals he put there.
“Doncha know I’m Batman?”
Fucking cold
Long time viewer here, as always I love your gameplays and this game is no exception.
At first I thought this game was going to be cool, but wow it exceeded all my expectations, I loved this story and all the cool little details.
You're amazing as always BAV, thanks for this playthrough, can't wait for more videos and the easter eggs
I really hope that we'll get a saga of Arkham Origins & Shadow.
We need a ARKHAM SHADOW STORY DLC now
@@gleove1 that would be cool
@@davidchittick6783 so can beat Bolton again
@@gleove1 how about this for the DLC story? The Ventriloquist & Scarface are trying to break out of Blackgate to become the new crime boss in Gotham & Batman must prevent that by stopping them from escaping.
@ yep
I recently got into your videos and am I glad I did? It has recently become the best part of my day when you post
Hope you have a great rest of the year ❤❤❤
Thank you Arkham Videos for that perfect walkthrough! It was the best way for us who can't play the game to fully enjoy it!
1:01:41. So THIS is how Bruce was able to break his restraints while fighting Penguin's thugs at the beginning of "Arkham City". He learned this move while calling himself Irving "Matches" Malone in "Arkham Shadow".
Omg Troy and Roger went in man. This is obviously going to be VR game of the year. The chemistry between Bruce and Harvey was incredible.
The scarred side on Two-Face looks terrifying goddamn
Now i understand why he become a Two Faces.
I cant imagine how Bruce as a Marlone blame himself for made that a Harvey.
That incident forced Batman to retire Malone. He told Alfred that being Matches led him to more trouble than the truth.
1:49:37 this right here is why troy is the best in the business, as overused as he is, lines where he doesn't even finish a word sound so realistic and in-moment. He also did the same thing in TLOU part two with saying "fireflies" in the beginning.
"you put that acid throwing bastard on the stand."
Nope. He didn't. Not at all
That was ALL you
Best story in the Arkham series, and it's from a VR game.
If a new dev team that has nothing to do with Rocksteady and WB Montreal can pull this out, it shows how much impatcful this series was, and how much beloved it is to this very day
Fun fact: Malone is voiced by Garrus Vakarian.
Flannegan is voiced by Cyborg / Azrael.
Malone is not voiced by Garrus Vakarian
Malone is voiced by roger craig smith
I know this isn't a high bar but this was better then that Suicide Squad game we got earlier this year, it had a better story (again not a high bar), good character arcs, a pretty decent twist and the thing that I appreciate about the previous Arkham games some sort of call back to Batman TAS in this case the episode where a mysterious judge is going around targeting criminals for everything they've done. I also like the stuff about Joe Chill, in the comics he's usually killed off at the end of the story arc that he's involved in but here he's spared and we never find out what happened to him although if this game gets DLC we might.
The way he said “bad news, kid” just like his dad? Dude these writers are brilliant.
Thank you Batman Arkham Videos for the amazing walkthroughs of the Arkham games you provide with us ❤❤
Frodo voices Crane right?
Its nice to hear the majority of Arkham voice actors back again.
Might be my favorite ending in the series honestly. On a side note, has anyone been having trouble with the peripheral HUD (enemies remaining in predator encounters, data scanned in detective vision, etc.) being too annoyingly out of focus? Like it’s just a little too far to the left/right? Adjusting the lens spacing hasn’t solved this for me.
Do you have a 3 or a 3s?
@ 3
Thank you for everything you have done for us Arkham fans, you are truly The Bat.
Arkham Origins Batman is able to take 3 hits from a TN-1 Bane and still remain conscious.
1:26:33 Arkham Shadows Batman is instantly knocked out by a simple headbutt from Two-Face
That's because he knew Bane was going to attack him. You can prepare yourself for an attack if you know it's coming. If you don't, you can get caught off guard. Also, hits to the gut can knock you down, but not out. Hits to the face? That's more of an automatic KO.
He had his guard down, along with having been beaten and bruised over the course the game for over a week compared one night like other games, man had hardly little time to recover beside regular sleep and the shot from Leslie to help out with his broken ribs.
@@spinozilla2421 Wouldn't he have more time to recover than in Origins though. Given he's gotten more sleep & the story took place over multiple days as opposed to Origins where it was all in the span of a night.
@ yes but no, thing to note are the injuries, and Compared to Origins, the damage he took are more severe, as yeah punch from bane is nasty, but thing note all damage he took in Origin was in Batsuit, with zero brusies shown when he takes his helmet off later on and looks fine in Cold Cold Heart that took place 6 days after. Shadow alot of damage he take is when in the Malone disguise, he shown getting KO mutplie times by Bolton and the Gaurds alot of the hit to the heads, and we can see when looking in the mirror in your prison room, Bruce face is bruised, and broken ribs by Bolton with medicine he took noted only to help out with his ribs, so his body is defintly sore this can also been seen with how bruised his hands are even after 2 weeks. so later down line his batsuit may be peak condition, but body his isn’t.
52:18 I still don’t get why they blame Malone for that. Crane was the one holding the acid, Malone was defending himself, it’s Crane’s fault for what happened.
I guess it just goes to show the corruption of the system at the time
Yet he is the one who slam on Harvey face
Crane definitely are wrong, but overall Malone still responsible causing that + plus being a criminal really can put other view a bit biased
he accidentally hit the acid next to harvey dent face and made him two face
What happens if you don’t counter it?
I get the feeling that, even if not officially, Crane is going to absolutely suffer for it. In the end Malone is just a scapegoat
Still making my way through this video but thank you so much for this series, BAV!
I just couldn't watch anyone else while waiting for your playthrough because I knew these were worth the wait. I love how you incorporated a mini narrative of your own with the small hand gestures and movements (audibly chuckled at at 37:45), even making it seem like Batman notices most of the collectibles through observation rather than just beelining to them. Kudos to you dude, keep up the quality work.
Love how you always try to ruin the cooking
I will admit, I (I assume this with others as well) was very skeptical of this game for the sole basis of it being on VR and I was worried that it wasn't going to be good like the others. But, I'm glad that I was proven wrong and that I enjoyed this game with its risk and direction of breaking the "all in one-night" and "only the Bats" functions that all the other games had. I enjoyed this video series overall with how entertaining it was.
And for you, Batman Arkham Videos, thank you for dedicating so much time to playing these games for us when most of us don't have the money to buy these games for a good while. Along with the dedication that you put into showing us all of the secrets, collectibles, and such with the combination of being an expert of the combat and stealth sections that makes it very enjoyable for us to view.
Thank you 😊
13:34 Black Canary’s band
WOW, THE ENDING WAS SURPRISING 😮
Wow. Never knew Zsasz's parents to be real pricks.
Fake fan spotted
This game had a huge plot twist I did not see coming.
If any of you have played The Chronicles of Riddick Game, Escape From Butcher Bay, this game already rings similar in that we play in first person, having our run of a prison- but when Otis Flannegan began to speak, it gave me severe Pope Joe vibes. Khary Payton does an amazing job and Rest in Peace to Willis Burkes II, Pope Joe.
I love the bromance between Bruce and Harvey!
Damn the ending already 😭😭
The script for this game is wonderful!!! You can see that the writers really liked Batman and read a lot of comics and watched the animated séries, you can se the love and inspiration on Batman EGO and Batman: the eye of beyonder. These writers have a really good taste for Batman and this has a really good prequel and really good Two-Face story and worthy of the charecter hope. Hope any Batman related game have such good stories was this one have
Bro I got so emotional at the last part
So far, my favorite inmate is Walker, such a chill dude.
So a VR spinoff did better than rocksteady themselves.
Wow this game was unpredictable and impressive. True Arkhamverse!
I feel like so much of this is really easy to call before they even happen, but... The writing is just so good, I didn't want to predict anything. The only thing I predicted was the identity of the Rat King. But everything else? About Harvey, about Joe, about Malone being the "Cause".. It's all set up so well that you could predict it, but it all worked out SO unbelievably well.
These writers did everything perfectly for this story. And as always, YOU did perfectly on the gameplay!
So many people covering this game, but I couldn't indulge it any other way for my first viewing than on your channel. Kudos to you, BAV. I was there for your beginning, and I'll be here until the end.
This was awesome and I hope for more games like this even if they are VR only.
28:40 they’re probably dead at this moment since they died in a boating accident
