I think he already knew Grundy, because if you pay attention, he kills Grundy in Arkham City, and if he didn't knew that Grundy is resurrected every Monday, why would he kill him? He must have known him for quite a while to know his weakness.
I was going to comment the same thing, I'm glad I'm not alone in this, cause yeah Batman goes for the kill, which he wouldn't do if he didn't know he comes back

Blackgate is canon because I’m pretty sure the developers of Shadow took it into consideration while making the game and The Arkham Wing in Origins Blackgate is featured in Arkham Shadow. My headcanon is that the game is canon but instead of Grundy he fought Croc down there instead. Edit: I also think the Arkham City prequel comics are canon because Paul Dini himself wrote those comics to be a direct set up to the video game. Edit 2: Here’s my personal head canon for what’s considered “Hard Canon” or media that’s absolutely canon even with certain inconsistencies. Batman: Arkham Origins Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate Batman: Arkham Shadow Batman: Assault on Arkham Movie Batman: Road to Arkham Prequel Comic Batman: Arkham Asylum Batman: Arkham City Prequel Comics Batman: Arkham City Batman: Arkham City - Endgame Comic Batman: Arkham VR Batman: Arkham Knight
Okay but where does my Arkham Asylum LEGO set from 2013 fit in the timeline though? It has pre-makeover Scarecrow in it so it must take place before the Arkham Asylum game, but it also seems to have Tim Drake Robin in it which would suggest it takes place later on in the timeline. The Robin minifigure isn't technically specified as Tim, so maybe we could say that it's Jason and boom problem solved, but the figure is literally wearing an exact match for Tim Drake's Arkham City costume so it's clearly meant to be Tim. Please I've been sending letters to Rocksteady headquarters asking for clarification on a daily basis for the last 11 years and if I don't get an answer soon I might just be forced to take the LEGO set back to the store and demand a refund.
@@Ayyothatsbrandogaming He wasn't. He shoots at the Batboat using a grenade launcher, with Batman blowing up their own(I have the prelude to Arkham City comics).
I feel like the riddler novel should be canon if the oracle thing is the only continuity error. A single error is just an error rather than invalidating the whole book
I’m just gonna say something everybody should know. Officiality doesn’t equal legitimacy. So if you want to think of Assault on Arkham as canon and Kill The Justice League as non canon, you have the right to do so. Just like what Star Wars fans do with the Disney canon and EU.
That's not the same thing, star wars legends is it's own seperate form of Canon Disney chose those name Canon to give there storyline legitimacy, legends is still canon, to the legends timeline, hence why the wiki has 2 timelines for legends and Canon
Yea, It doesn't matter if a mostly completely different rocksteady except for one dude who later left said it's canon, If the whole world rejects your game, it's no longer canon, at the end of the day All star batman is not batman, at the end of the day the fandom is what allows these things to exist, if your players hate you, you have no game, look at concord for example, gone, turned to oblivion. I'm not saying anything about it's quality, I'm talking about it's inclusion in the original series, If extremely loyal fans ALL come together to reject your game, you just fucked up that badly and it will stay non-canon
Joker saying "So, I'm your first, am I, toots? You know what they say, you never forget your first time" doesn't necessarily mean that's their first ever interaction. It could simply be referring to Joker being the first patient she is assigned to treat since being hired there. Her first time treating someone at Arkham Asylum specifically, not her first time ever treating Joker in general.
After Origins came out, that's how I interpreted it. I can see Harley being so smitten with Joker that she transferred to Arkham just to be close to him.
The Arkham City prequel comics were written by Paul Dini (the writer for Asylum and City) and are referenced in City through its stories, they’re as canon as the games. Also Road to Arkham does have a slight continuity error specifically about Zsasz; we know that Zsasz escaped Arkham either the same day or a day after Joker did according to their interview tapes. Both escaped in late December (22nd or 23rd) and Victor immediately went to dr Cassidy’s apartment and kidnapped her (again according to the interview tapes). According to Oracle Arkham Asylum takes place 2 months after dr Young’s realisation that she was being funded by Joker, which coincided with his escape (same thing is mentioned in the comic), so late February. Yet Oracle in the comic states that Batman took down Zsasz in the current month (comic takes place minutes before the game so it would be early February), that would mean Zsasz kept dr Cassidy captive for about a month without killing her, which is very unlike Zsasz. Still a very minor inconsistency, Batman could have just captured Zsasz in January.
If the comic or material outside games referred to in the arkham stories found in the games when you solve riddles they are canon. Batman chasing Harley and joker in the batboat is referred to in the arkham stories, black mask trying to escape Arkham city by blowing up a part of the wall is Canon The Harley Quinn, catwoman and Ivy team up was canon as well since these explain the reason Ivy is mad at Selina and all these were written by Paul Dini, the road to arkham Asylum and City comics are canon. I agree with everything you said.
For me, I’d like to consider suicide squad kill the Justice league is like a branch timeline like something that still happening in the same universe but in a different span of events.
It's similar for me too my headcannon is that suicide squad is an alternate timeline just like Gotham knights I refuse to accept that this all took place in the original cannon timeline you know there's still something I didn't understand once the writers found out how ppl hated the game why couldn't they release the statement saying that the game takes place in the alternate time not the original this way everyone would have been happy and the legacy of Kevin wouldn't have been ruined either we are the reason they make money they should acknowledge our opinion of suicide squad not being cannon and accept it it's the least they can do
Victor Sase?! Also in Arkham City the stories say that Joker and Harley escape Asylum via boat get intercepted by Batman and wash up on shore to Arkham City
What's tricky about that Arkham story is that in Joker's interview tapes, he says "a big truck brought me here from Arkham". Then again, he's not exactly known for his honesty, and you could argue he was just oversimplifying to segway into talking about the Asylum, but still, it's an interesting inconsistency.
@@Seven-Seas-of-Baba-O-RileyYou misunderstand. That "big truck" is just Jerker referring to Batman's magnum dong, which we know is canon because Jiggler is gay.
There's also the fact that in the Arkham knight prequel comics, Harley and Batman interact quite a lot, and when Harley Quinn shows up in Arkham Knight, she acts as if they haven't seen each other since the events of Arkham City and Harley Quinn's revenge
There is exactly one way for SSKTJL to be canon and I wouldn't be surprised if it's revealed in like Season 5 or 6 (assuming the game doesn't get cancelled at this point): It takes place on an alternate Earth. The game is straight up a Multiverse story with the main goal being that the squad travels to alternate Earths to take down Brainiac so every continuity issue can be written off as "alternate universe" which will either have been planned from the beginning or a panic move done when the game got such a negative response. If that is not the official explanation, then the game will never be canon because there's just way too many things that don't make sense or were done poorly like the original Deadshot being "from another universe" instead of simply being an imposter. And even then, the game has left such a bad taste in people's mouths that most people won't care. Hell I'm considering it an alternate Earth regardless of whether it's official or not because that makes it easy to ignore it.
Being that there is so much to look at when it comes to the Arkhamverse and not knowing which stuff is actually Canon you summed it up really well and it was easy to understand (Kinda)
Now this is my personal opinion but even though rocksteady made SSKTJL and the Arkhamverse as a whole it is all still a fictional universe that leaves most of what happens off screen that isn’t shown in game upto our interpretation so therefore WE can decide what’s canon and what’s not. Great video btw GP 😊😊😊
Yup, I don't consider SSKTJL to be canon. Tbh, I didn't know that Riddler's Gambit novel even existed. Oh, and I think you missed one Arkham game; the sadly short lived 2016 mobile game Batman Arkham Underworld. The premise of the game is the player with the goal of becoming Gotham's next criminal kingpin recruits Batman rogues as Riddler, Harley, Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, & Bane (there were plans to add villains like Twoface, Ivy and more but game shutdown before they got released). Of course, it wouldn't be canon but game had PvE & PvP gameplay elements which was quite fun.
In regards to the Harley inconsistency, I’ve always felt that the character bios in Asylum aren’t canon. There’s plenty of bios for characters which are introduced at a later stage, Hush’s bio alone can’t exists “in universe” at that point. That, combined with the fact that they state “first issue” sort of implies it’s not Batman’s file, it’s the player’s
SSKTJL not only isn't canon, but it didn't actually get made. I know you're saying, but it exists I've played it!... sorry, no you didn't. Mandela effect. Never happened.
So I don't understand one of these points, Arkham Origins: Blackgate is non-canon because the cinematic camera angles makes it feel like Arkham City is the first time they met, but Batman dreaming of a Killer Croc with the Arkham Knight mutations before Arkham Knight is easier to believe? I totally think it is possible in 9 months, Batman could have seen Croc in that condition, but that feels like a much bigger stretch than the Grundy thing. Plus Arkham Shadow, a game considered fully canon to you is taking the explosive gel launcher that was introduced in that game. To me both games can still technically work in canon, but I found that to be an interesting sticking point here.
I see your points, but another thing Arkham Shadow is doing is using the Beacon hotel from the Arkham Origins PREQUEL comics, and those comics aren’t canon to ME. So it’s more of a messy situation where they take inspiration from other games to fit into their canon.
@@GothamPaladin I'm certainly not telling you that you have to change your mind on Blackgate, it definitely isn't anybody's favorite game, I just felt like the logic is strange. I plan to do my own Arkham marathon when Shadow is releasing, and Origins and Blackgate are definitely fitting before that when I do it. Hopefully the final few SS seasons are added or close to done by then, I'm hoping to touch on almost everything, even as far as Riddler's Gambit.
Arkham vr has a huge piece of evidence making it officially cannon as in one of the extra modes where you can fight bad guys in wayne manor in the Arkham city game, you can find the cell joker is in that later you get trapped in during the vr story sketched onto a drawing board when you mess with the piano in one of the rooms. And just to point out that same wayne manor is then seen in Arkham knight in the same game mode so it has to be cannon.
Well, one nice thing aboout works of fiction, you can always decide yourself what is and isn't your own personal canon for you. And even very autors of said fiction can't stop you from doing that.
Although there is technically nothing that definitively states that Batman didn’t know who Grundy was in Arkham city it feels really weird that he appears in Blackgate. Literally, they just replaced him with killer croc I would have no issue stating that the game is Canon. I still like the story of the game and I like to think something similar happened, but for the same reason, I don’t consider the Arkham night comics to be canon because of the fate of Bane I can’t consider the game itself to canon
Love the Video!! IMO i feel like the Arkham Asylum game itself is Canon, but the Bio database entries and interview logs are non canon. They bring up Hush as an established villain, who then is introduced for the first time in the next game. They talk about strange already knowing who batman is, but Bruce doesnt know that till after City starts. Most likely because they probably didnt know this game would get a sequel at the time and also probably didnt know what story it would take. The database stuff felt more like fan service/comic acknowledgement
In case you didn't know, in recent season of SS:KTJL the Flash turned out to be alive and now being recovered by Waller, Freeze etc. confirming by that, that the league in the game were clones and Batman is alive, in case you were worried. Hope we will see a League in action in the finale 🙏🙏🙏
Most likely not if so it will be rushed and not on screen due to the fact they are not working on any new content anymore. The game is ending after deathstroke season.
@@greytakerrev7147 But the Flash is alive already in the game's most recent episode. I guess Batman will come back the next season with Deadshot's daughter because they are adding Gotham.
I’ve never read the comic in question, I always assumed he knew Batman was real because someone apprehended calendar man but your right he just didn’t want to admit it
Batman also meets Penguin for the first time in the game which he also does in the comic, rendering the comic non canon. But they’re still sources of inspiration for the mainline games which is why Ryan took inspiration fron Ratcatcher in that comic
I read that comic two times, but given that it's an "interactive" comic where you can choose different paths, I never met Gordon through my choices and still made it to the end. So maybe it is canon, just not with the path where you meet Gordon.
@@DeathHeadCZ every path ends with him meeting Penguin unfortunately, rendering all paths non canon I’m pretty sure. I view comics and media like that in the same way I view the Star Wars EU. Not canon but still a valid source of inspiration for mainline continuity and still a place to pull ideas and themes from.
@@kylerpruitt1620totally possible I missed it, but where in Origins is it established that Penguin and Batman meet for the first time specifically during the Arkham Origins main campaign? I always kinda figured they knew each other, given how Batman's first thought after learning of the assassins was to track him down for information.
Assault on Arkham is fun but I think it contradicts Asylum. It is supposed to take place before that, yet in Asylum, you'd think they'd mentioned that a similar massive breakout had happened before.
Does anyone else find it kind of a missed opportunity that Assault on Arkham, some of the Arkham mobile games and the comics aren’t canon? Like those comics could have been a chance to show more of the Arkham universe beyond what the games showed us. All they had to do was to make sure there weren’t too many inconsistencies
Although the comics don’t necessarily break any game canon,it justs take a lot of admit that the comic events are canon,in an Arkham knight comic Harley knows Jason is the knight,like Harley woulda ever keep that secret
i'm not sure, and i don't play the game, but apparently suicide squad kills the justice league is releasing a new season that you go to the arkhamverse, decanonising the game from the main storyline. Again I'm not sure and I don't play the game either so I could, and potencialy am, Wrong
I agree with all the points in the video and I do feel like certain select things from the comics should be Canon and if anything ever contradicts the games I just assumed the games are correct. But with the most respect in mind the end of the video felt like when you're trying to get 8000 word essay done
I can explain Arkham Origins inconsistencies Harley was only doing what she wants and she was not a actual doctor and I believe Dr Young detoxicated Bane it took a long time
Tbh i fully agree, some things make sense in things that aren't canon and really the only basis we have to go off of are the main games so i can't say i disagree with any of this
I think blackgate is actually canon because how else would Batman already know he can kill Grundy in city without having already fought him? Like sure, he’s obviously a zombie, but Batman WOULD NOT be ok with killing him without already knowing FOR SURE through research after an interaction
Another great video Paladin! I agree with practically all your points. I feel like franchises whose main medium are video games, those stories' canon is solid there. Then the comics and novels as well as other supplementary information is really up in the air and for each person to decide. Great job and keep up the good work! 🙂
I strongly believe that all 4 games are enough to built a canon universe and not asking too much, there is enough in those And fuck off Suicid Squad game, no debate
Tbh KTJL is super overhated. It was fun for a while and the story isn’t over yet so I’ll wait until the fourth season ends to decide if they “disrespected” Bats’ legacy or not
@@Rhycizthey are bringing him back however, it ends after that they are not working on anymore content they are being force to produce these last seasons.
@@Rhycizalso overhated? Nope I think it’s perfectly hated or not even hated enough. This is the equivalent of all of the bad writing aspects of a David Cage story.
for me personally origins to knight is canon even though the lore established can be shaky such as when Harley met Joker in asylum but in origins they met in blackgate or how Gordon aged 20 years even though it was 5 years between origins and asylum however the arkham universe is it's own batman universe where many top batman villains die such as Joker and Strange but is still a fantastic universe that has the same writer as the animated series definitely the best batman game universe
You missed Arkham City Endgame, which came out in 2012 and revealed The Joker was incinerated. Decent story and absolutely fits between City and Knight
What about the Arkham Unhinged comics? From my memory they didn't do anything that contradicted the canon, and they expanded on Two-Face and Catwoman's battle for the microchip and how Joker and Penguin came to recruit their half of the Abramovici Twins
11:12 On the arkham city stories included in the game its mentioned Batman chased Harley & Joker while they escaped on boat and they ended up on arkham city!
the main issue is, that those plot lines are massive/too important for batman not to mention them so i agree that the only one that is canon is the aa prequel comic because in the beggining of the game (when you just take control of batman for the first time) you can approach the guards and they will ask/comment about the "joker going after the mayor" incident, as for the movie im 50/50 on it being canon because i say again, it would be weird for batman not to recall he took on the ss to someone close to him, basically the events that happend are quite big for batman not to make some sort of recall on them or some of his ally's not to comment on them in the main 4 games.
*side note but then again you can get a rare comment (right after she tells you where the rest of the doctors are) in which sarah says that she never thought batman was even real but in the prequel comic she got saved by him??? soooo im now like tf?????😭😭😭😭
I am willing to bet everything that Riddler's Gambit is canon and they just made an incredible blunder with Oracle not knowing Bruce's identity since she's known since she was Batgirl.
Arkham knight ending will always make me think that Batman died for real, for me bruce sent alfred on a life-time vacation in one of his many islands (with yow rich bruce is, hes GOTTA have bought some islands)
Blackgate is definetly canon. It's never stated in City that Batman never fought Grundy before. Batman knows that punching his glowing heart thingie wouldn't kill him, so he has prior knowledge of him.
Also if that’s true it contradicts suicide squad considering Waller in the game says this is the first time she has made the squad in Blackgate she recruited Deadshot and Bronze Tyger at the end of the game. This contradicts her statement and the Black Deadshot’s statement.
I think Batman wondering if Barbara knows who he is might probably refer to his Joker toxin infection, which by Arkham VR we know was seriously troubling him.
Thks for the wonderful vid man. I really read and bought some of the Arkham City comics and Arkham Knight Genesis comic. But I've never really understand what is considered canon to the Arkhamverse besides the mainline games but I watch this video, hopefully this might help clear up some inconsistencies with the timeline itself.
@@dukeslytalker1192 I kinda thought it was cannon cuz Waller was getting deadshot and tiger and bane kinda like how she was recruiting deathstroke in Arkham origins
Dude in Arkham Asylum its not actually stated that the first time Joker and Harley met was in Arkham Asylum thats a lie because they only state that it was in Arkham they didn’t say Arkham City or Arkham Asylum They just say Arkham.
This is not the first time you've said Grundy is first seen in City, but there is still literally nothing to suggest that. Like literally nothing. Your evidence is the camera angle? What does that even mean lmao
Arkham timeline (aside from the main games) are like puzzle pieces that tried to connect with one another but it kept missing some pieces that should connect but instead added new pieces that doesnt connect with anything at all
Did you also know about Sarah Cassidy, in a case file of Victor Zsasz during the side mission in Arkham city, that it also states Batman saved her? Thought it was interesting that they continued on that continuity.
The Riddler novel also says thst batman fought joker in a bank in arkham city (this happened in origins), and riddler says that Arkham City was his last encounter with Batman in Arkham Knight. I don't know for sure though, but i remember being really confused by that first one.
If the riddler novel is as good as you say, i will advocate that (from what you said in the video) Batman could've been talking about "does she know im turning into Joker?"
I agree that even SSKTJL is canon, because devs said that, just like they did with Origins. But i'm spliting it on Actual Arkham (Asylum - Knight) and alternatives (Origins, Blackgate, Shadow, and alternative ending as SSKTJL). Because of redesign, place and story disconections between WBM and Rocksteady's Arkham.
The developers of Batman Arkham Shadow in a recent interview said that the events of their game take place 6 months after Arkham origins and 3 months after Arkham origins blackgate. I think they wouldn't include mention of this game if they weren't including it in canon.
I think Kill the Justice League is canon with a huge asterisk next to it. With all the multiverse stuff going on in it, I think it’s gonna be revealed that either 1. This one of multiple alternate timelines for the Arkham series, or 2. There’s gonna be some big magic thing that undoes the events of this game or just reestablishes the status quo, and only parts of this game will be canon if we get anything taking place later on
fun fact: the idea of canon isn't what a company or fan dictates, but is a mostly consistent series of reasonable events that can correlate and build off of each other to make a cohesive story. if multiple entries of a series at least have let's say 80% canon to them, and 20% inconsistencies[half off if merely cosmetic or 40% is fine]... then it is canon. when there are errors within a story that cause core questions to arise, these are known as plot holes. though just because something is unexplained doesn't mean it is bad... it is though when not properly explained or never done so. suicide squad has a lot to answer for on how the justice league failed at all.... because in almost every other continuity including arkham-verse there is a a clear statement of heroes save the day and it is quite clear that of all things, the justice league have defeated brainiac [except with suicide squad]. batman has had to deal with a lot more tech[riddler, freeze, and strange]/chem[bane, scarecrow and joker] foes than the rest.... how is it that he of all people gets put down? especially with his skill set and history of beating Joker and Harley Quinn? routinely? [as stated in the video.] this is where I would state suicide squad isn't canon... one is the fact that an antidote for titan[yes modified bane venom, but still] was developed easily in asylum, and that with batman's rogues gallery he should be the most prepared for mess-ups of this nature... also I bet he would shock the robots within him to death [Leon Kennedy style] or something to stop the spread from happening... he ain't a noob in this stuff... he has to deal with joker after all. that guy is plain crazy. he is worse than brainiac which is basically just a super computer with legs.... should I even mention D.A.V.E. [Digitally Advanced Villain Emulator] from The Batman cartoon series (2004-2008)? [different universe I know, but still a point, batman could lose ground, but doesn't lose enough to completely fail.] also Joker not being dead is pretty good point to disregard its being canon... because Knight is all about dealing with a dead Joker from City. Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!
Great Video and (My opinion) my Headcanon for The Arkhamverse is Arkham Origins and It’s DLC Initiation and Cold Cold Heart, Arkham Origins Blackgate, Arkham Asylum, Arkham Lockdown, Arkham City with The DLC Harley Quinn Revenge and at Least Arkham Knight with The Season of Infamy DLC and the Respective Characters DLC (Like Red Hood,Robin Etc Etc Etc…) for the Perfect Ending I didn’t Included the Arkham Comics since the’re a Little Contradictory (even if I like to read them) and like to think that these comics are their own Thing and because in one Bane is Killed by the Arkham Knight Before The Same Title Game but in the Game it’s said he has Gone to Santa Prisca To Kill some Drug Lords and the Kill the Justice league Game because it’s Just a Bad Fan Fiction and Destroy everything we loved in My Opinion. and now the Arkhamverse it’s expanding with Arkham Shadow Set Between Origins and Asylum and it looks Amazing and Promising Even if its a Meta Quest Exclusive (I also liked the Animated movie Assault of Arkham but I like more to have it as it’s own Thing since at The End Joker Seems to die by an Explosion and it’s before Arkham Asylum).
Just leaving this here, after Batman Arkham Shadow…I now see that Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate is canon!

Joker saying "So, I'm your first, am I, toots? You know what they say, you never forget your first time" doesn't necessarily mean that's their first ever interaction. It could simply be referring to Joker being the first patient she is assigned to treat since being hired there. Her first time treating someone at Arkham Asylum specifically, not her first time ever treating Joker in general.
@JakeyJ918 Better to explain it than have people assume it's a continuity error.
After Origins came out, that's how I interpreted it. I can see Harley being so smitten with Joker that she transferred to Arkham just to be close to him.
@JakeyJ918 "it's not that deep bro 🤓"
Yes it is, it's exactly THAT deep
The Arkham City prequel comics were written by Paul Dini (the writer for Asylum and City) and are referenced in City through its stories, they’re as canon as the games. Also Road to Arkham does have a slight continuity error specifically about Zsasz; we know that Zsasz escaped Arkham either the same day or a day after Joker did according to their interview tapes. Both escaped in late December (22nd or 23rd) and Victor immediately went to dr Cassidy’s apartment and kidnapped her (again according to the interview tapes). According to Oracle Arkham Asylum takes place 2 months after dr Young’s realisation that she was being funded by Joker, which coincided with his escape (same thing is mentioned in the comic), so late February. Yet Oracle in the comic states that Batman took down Zsasz in the current month (comic takes place minutes before the game so it would be early February), that would mean Zsasz kept dr Cassidy captive for about a month without killing her, which is very unlike Zsasz. Still a very minor inconsistency, Batman could have just captured Zsasz in January.
If the comic or material outside games referred to in the arkham stories found in the games when you solve riddles they are canon.
Batman chasing Harley and joker in the batboat is referred to in the arkham stories, black mask trying to escape Arkham city by blowing up a part of the wall is Canon
The Harley Quinn, catwoman and Ivy team up was canon as well since these explain the reason Ivy is mad at Selina and all these were written by Paul Dini, the road to arkham Asylum and City comics are canon.
I agree with everything you said.
For me, I’d like to consider suicide squad kill the Justice league is like a branch timeline like something that still happening in the same universe but in a different span of events.
It's similar for me too my headcannon is that suicide squad is an alternate timeline just like Gotham knights I refuse to accept that this all took place in the original cannon timeline you know there's still something I didn't understand once the writers found out how ppl hated the game why couldn't they release the statement saying that the game takes place in the alternate time not the original this way everyone would have been happy and the legacy of Kevin wouldn't have been ruined either we are the reason they make money they should acknowledge our opinion of suicide squad not being cannon and accept it it's the least they can do
Victor Sase?!
Also in Arkham City the stories say that Joker and Harley escape Asylum via boat get intercepted by Batman and wash up on shore to Arkham City
What's tricky about that Arkham story is that in Joker's interview tapes, he says "a big truck brought me here from Arkham". Then again, he's not exactly known for his honesty, and you could argue he was just oversimplifying to segway into talking about the Asylum, but still, it's an interesting inconsistency.
No no it's actually Victor Sass. Gotham's most yassified criminal.
@@Seven-Seas-of-Baba-O-RileyYou misunderstand. That "big truck" is just Jerker referring to Batman's magnum dong, which we know is canon because Jiggler is gay.
Origins blackgate is canon now thanks to Shadow
There's also the fact that in the Arkham knight prequel comics, Harley and Batman interact quite a lot, and when Harley Quinn shows up in Arkham Knight, she acts as if they haven't seen each other since the events of Arkham City and Harley Quinn's revenge
The Arkham comics are like The FNAF books where some of the stuff in the comics/books are canon and some are not canon.
If it isn’t directly canon, the concept will at least weasel its way into canon
There is exactly one way for SSKTJL to be canon and I wouldn't be surprised if it's revealed in like Season 5 or 6 (assuming the game doesn't get cancelled at this point):
It takes place on an alternate Earth.
The game is straight up a Multiverse story with the main goal being that the squad travels to alternate Earths to take down Brainiac so every continuity issue can be written off as "alternate universe" which will either have been planned from the beginning or a panic move done when the game got such a negative response.
If that is not the official explanation, then the game will never be canon because there's just way too many things that don't make sense or were done poorly like the original Deadshot being "from another universe" instead of simply being an imposter.
And even then, the game has left such a bad taste in people's mouths that most people won't care. Hell I'm considering it an alternate Earth regardless of whether it's official or not because that makes it easy to ignore it.
Being that there is so much to look at when it comes to the Arkhamverse and not knowing which stuff is actually Canon you summed it up really well and it was easy to understand (Kinda)
Now this is my personal opinion but even though rocksteady made SSKTJL and the Arkhamverse as a whole it is all still a fictional universe that leaves most of what happens off screen that isn’t shown in game upto our interpretation so therefore WE can decide what’s canon and what’s not. Great video btw GP 😊😊😊
Yup, I don't consider SSKTJL to be canon.
Tbh, I didn't know that Riddler's Gambit novel even existed.
Oh, and I think you missed one Arkham game; the sadly short lived 2016 mobile game Batman Arkham Underworld.
The premise of the game is the player with the goal of becoming Gotham's next criminal kingpin recruits Batman rogues as Riddler, Harley, Mr. Freeze, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, & Bane (there were plans to add villains like Twoface, Ivy and more but game shutdown before they got released).
Of course, it wouldn't be canon but game had PvE & PvP gameplay elements which was quite fun.
GP beating Arkham City with no damage was not canon
In regards to the Harley inconsistency,
I’ve always felt that the character bios in Asylum aren’t canon.
There’s plenty of bios for characters which are introduced at a later stage, Hush’s bio alone can’t exists “in universe” at that point.
That, combined with the fact that they state “first issue” sort of implies it’s not Batman’s file, it’s the player’s
This is a really good point
SSKTJL not only isn't canon, but it didn't actually get made. I know you're saying, but it exists I've played it!... sorry, no you didn't. Mandela effect. Never happened.
Yep, I've never even heard of a SSKTJL.
@@jorgyt754What's a SSKTJL?
I didn’t know one comment could make me so happy
It's unfortunate that we can't just will something out of existence
Unlike Rocksteady I never thought SSKTJL is cannon too.
So I don't understand one of these points, Arkham Origins: Blackgate is non-canon because the cinematic camera angles makes it feel like Arkham City is the first time they met, but Batman dreaming of a Killer Croc with the Arkham Knight mutations before Arkham Knight is easier to believe? I totally think it is possible in 9 months, Batman could have seen Croc in that condition, but that feels like a much bigger stretch than the Grundy thing. Plus Arkham Shadow, a game considered fully canon to you is taking the explosive gel launcher that was introduced in that game. To me both games can still technically work in canon, but I found that to be an interesting sticking point here.
I see your points, but another thing Arkham Shadow is doing is using the Beacon hotel from the Arkham Origins PREQUEL comics, and those comics aren’t canon to ME. So it’s more of a messy situation where they take inspiration from other games to fit into their canon.
@@GothamPaladin I'm certainly not telling you that you have to change your mind on Blackgate, it definitely isn't anybody's favorite game, I just felt like the logic is strange. I plan to do my own Arkham marathon when Shadow is releasing, and Origins and Blackgate are definitely fitting before that when I do it. Hopefully the final few SS seasons are added or close to done by then, I'm hoping to touch on almost everything, even as far as Riddler's Gambit.
Arkham vr has a huge piece of evidence making it officially cannon as in one of the extra modes where you can fight bad guys in wayne manor in the Arkham city game, you can find the cell joker is in that later you get trapped in during the vr story sketched onto a drawing board when you mess with the piano in one of the rooms. And just to point out that same wayne manor is then seen in Arkham knight in the same game mode so it has to be cannon.
Blackgate is canonically set in between Origins and Shadow.
Well, one nice thing aboout works of fiction, you can always decide yourself what is and isn't your own personal canon for you. And even very autors of said fiction can't stop you from doing that.
Although there is technically nothing that definitively states that Batman didn’t know who Grundy was in Arkham city it feels really weird that he appears in Blackgate.
Literally, they just replaced him with killer croc I would have no issue stating that the game is Canon.
I still like the story of the game and I like to think something similar happened, but for the same reason, I don’t consider the Arkham night comics to be canon because of the fate of Bane I can’t consider the game itself to canon
Love the Video!! IMO i feel like the Arkham Asylum game itself is Canon, but the Bio database entries and interview logs are non canon. They bring up Hush as an established villain, who then is introduced for the first time in the next game. They talk about strange already knowing who batman is, but Bruce doesnt know that till after City starts.
Most likely because they probably didnt know this game would get a sequel at the time and also probably didnt know what story it would take. The database stuff felt more like fan service/comic acknowledgement
Great video man on Batman Arkham canon also I agree suicide squad kill the justice league isn’t canon.
Now that Arkham Shadow is out, it also confirms Origins blackgate to be cannon too
Blackgate is canon now
In case you didn't know, in recent season of SS:KTJL the Flash turned out to be alive and now being recovered by Waller, Freeze etc. confirming by that, that the league in the game were clones and Batman is alive, in case you were worried. Hope we will see a League in action in the finale 🙏🙏🙏
4 months until batman is due to return
@@MrMagicianJr Hell yeah
Most likely not if so it will be rushed and not on screen due to the fact they are not working on any new content anymore. The game is ending after deathstroke season.
@@greytakerrev7147 But the Flash is alive already in the game's most recent episode. I guess Batman will come back the next season with Deadshot's daughter because they are adding Gotham.
11:14 there actually is an Arkham city story in the game about this, so I beileive it to be canon
Exactly 👍
my answer for why Gordan saw bats in the comic but said there's no such thing as a batman he didn't want the city to know
I’ve never read the comic in question, I always assumed he knew Batman was real because someone apprehended calendar man but your right he just didn’t want to admit it
Batman also meets Penguin for the first time in the game which he also does in the comic, rendering the comic non canon. But they’re still sources of inspiration for the mainline games which is why Ryan took inspiration fron Ratcatcher in that comic
I read that comic two times, but given that it's an "interactive" comic where you can choose different paths, I never met Gordon through my choices and still made it to the end. So maybe it is canon, just not with the path where you meet Gordon.
@@DeathHeadCZ every path ends with him meeting Penguin unfortunately, rendering all paths non canon I’m pretty sure. I view comics and media like that in the same way I view the Star Wars EU. Not canon but still a valid source of inspiration for mainline continuity and still a place to pull ideas and themes from.
@@kylerpruitt1620totally possible I missed it, but where in Origins is it established that Penguin and Batman meet for the first time specifically during the Arkham Origins main campaign? I always kinda figured they knew each other, given how Batman's first thought after learning of the assassins was to track him down for information.
Assault on Arkham is fun but I think it contradicts Asylum. It is supposed to take place before that, yet in Asylum, you'd think they'd mentioned that a similar massive breakout had happened before.
Does anyone else find it kind of a missed opportunity that Assault on Arkham, some of the Arkham mobile games and the comics aren’t canon? Like those comics could have been a chance to show more of the Arkham universe beyond what the games showed us. All they had to do was to make sure there weren’t too many inconsistencies
im very upset, i didnt see a single canon
Victor “Zase” is rough, man 😂
Although the comics don’t necessarily break any game canon,it justs take a lot of admit that the comic events are canon,in an Arkham knight comic Harley knows Jason is the knight,like Harley woulda ever keep that secret
i'm not sure, and i don't play the game, but apparently suicide squad kills the justice league is releasing a new season that you go to the arkhamverse, decanonising the game from the main storyline. Again I'm not sure and I don't play the game either so I could, and potencialy am, Wrong
There’s another continuity error in Riddler’s Gambit revolving Hugo Strange robbing a bank with Mad Hatter iirc
I agree with all the points in the video and I do feel like certain select things from the comics should be Canon and if anything ever contradicts the games I just assumed the games are correct. But with the most respect in mind the end of the video felt like when you're trying to get 8000 word essay done
I can explain Arkham Origins inconsistencies Harley was only doing what she wants and she was not a actual doctor and I believe Dr Young detoxicated Bane it took a long time
The database entries are not always canon, most of Asylum's ones are now wrong.
Finally, a video at the time I wake up.
Tbh i fully agree, some things make sense in things that aren't canon and really the only basis we have to go off of are the main games so i can't say i disagree with any of this
I think blackgate is actually canon because how else would Batman already know he can kill Grundy in city without having already fought him? Like sure, he’s obviously a zombie, but Batman WOULD NOT be ok with killing him without already knowing FOR SURE through research after an interaction
GP VIDEO LETS GOOOO (please stream this weekend you only stream on my work days😩)
Amazing Vid man , and SSKTJL is not a game it’s a laughing stock 😭🙏
Another great video Paladin! I agree with practically all your points. I feel like franchises whose main medium are video games, those stories' canon is solid there. Then the comics and novels as well as other supplementary information is really up in the air and for each person to decide.
Great job and keep up the good work! 🙂
What about the arkham unhinged comics? They are like the city stories but illustrated, with some additional scenes
I strongly believe that all 4 games are enough to built a canon universe and not asking too much, there is enough in those
And fuck off Suicid Squad game, no debate
Tbh KTJL is super overhated. It was fun for a while and the story isn’t over yet so I’ll wait until the fourth season ends to decide if they “disrespected” Bats’ legacy or not
@@Rhycizthey are bringing him back however, it ends after that they are not working on anymore content they are being force to produce these last seasons.
@@Rhycizalso overhated? Nope I think it’s perfectly hated or not even hated enough. This is the equivalent of all of the bad writing aspects of a David Cage story.
Loving the content almost at a 100K 🎉🎉
i lover ur vids bro, have a good life my man
“Victor Zais” 💀
always a fire day when bro uploads
in Arkham Origins Batman actually kissed Oracle at the GCPD and then griddyd away from Gordon (canon)
Ah yes pedo batman
for me personally origins to knight is canon even though the lore established can be shaky such as when Harley met Joker in asylum but in origins they met in blackgate or how Gordon aged 20 years even though it was 5 years between origins and asylum however the arkham universe is it's own batman universe where many top batman villains die such as Joker and Strange but is still a fantastic universe that has the same writer as the animated series definitely the best batman game universe
There was actually more like 7-8 years between origins and asylum. 🤓☝️
You missed Arkham City Endgame, which came out in 2012 and revealed The Joker was incinerated. Decent story and absolutely fits between City and Knight
What about the Arkham Unhinged comics? From my memory they didn't do anything that contradicted the canon, and they expanded on Two-Face and Catwoman's battle for the microchip and how Joker and Penguin came to recruit their half of the Abramovici Twins
11:12 On the arkham city stories included in the game its mentioned Batman chased Harley & Joker while they escaped on boat and they ended up on arkham city!
Justice League lose to Brainiac, when one superman can defeat Brainiac on his own.
the main issue is, that those plot lines are massive/too important for batman not to mention them so i agree that the only one that is canon is the aa prequel comic because in the beggining of the game (when you just take control of batman for the first time) you can approach the guards and they will ask/comment about the "joker going after the mayor" incident, as for the movie im 50/50 on it being canon because i say again, it would be weird for batman not to recall he took on the ss to someone close to him, basically the events that happend are quite big for batman not to make some sort of recall on them or some of his ally's not to comment on them in the main 4 games.
*side note
but then again you can get a rare comment (right after she tells you where the rest of the doctors are) in which sarah says that she never thought batman was even real but in the prequel comic she got saved by him???
soooo im now like tf?????😭😭😭😭
Why did bro upload this at 5 am
(Also for ssktjl i think it's fair to argue death of the author so it definitely isn't canon)
To me(in general)
Arkham Asylum, City, Origins, Knight, and soon Shadow
I am willing to bet everything that Riddler's Gambit is canon and they just made an incredible blunder with Oracle not knowing Bruce's identity since she's known since she was Batgirl.
15:55 maybe the joker is asking that ? Kinda a hint for the blood plot
Arkham knight ending will always make me think that Batman died for real, for me bruce sent alfred on a life-time vacation in one of his many islands (with yow rich bruce is, hes GOTTA have bought some islands)
In my mind Knights and SSKTJL aren’t Canon, they’re just Elseworlds Story.
Blackgate is definetly canon. It's never stated in City that Batman never fought Grundy before.
Batman knows that punching his glowing heart thingie wouldn't kill him, so he has prior knowledge of him.
Also if that’s true it contradicts suicide squad considering Waller in the game says this is the first time she has made the squad in Blackgate she recruited Deadshot and Bronze Tyger at the end of the game. This contradicts her statement and the Black Deadshot’s statement.
I think Batman wondering if Barbara knows who he is might probably refer to his Joker toxin infection, which by Arkham VR we know was seriously troubling him.
Blackgate has to be canon because it took place after origins in which origins was canon
Thks for the wonderful vid man. I really read and bought some of the Arkham City comics and Arkham Knight Genesis comic. But I've never really understand what is considered canon to the Arkhamverse besides the mainline games but I watch this video, hopefully this might help clear up some inconsistencies with the timeline itself.
You are not a batman fan if you can't pronounce Victor Zsasz. Batman literally says his name constantly during his missions and in Gotham.
I agree, I’ve heard people mess up his name before
I’m kinda 50 50 on the black gate spinoff
I think its canon except replace grundy with croc
@@dukeslytalker1192 I kinda thought it was cannon cuz Waller was getting deadshot and tiger and bane kinda like how she was recruiting deathstroke in Arkham origins
I like to think Arkham Origins Blackgate is canon
HE REMEMBERED TO PUT ME AT THE END (but u spelt my name wrong)
LOL I suck I’m sorry
Dude in Arkham Asylum its not actually stated that the first time Joker and Harley met was in Arkham Asylum thats a lie because they only state that it was in Arkham they didn’t say Arkham City or Arkham Asylum They just say Arkham.
This is not the first time you've said Grundy is first seen in City, but there is still literally nothing to suggest that. Like literally nothing. Your evidence is the camera angle? What does that even mean lmao
The boat chase of Joker by Batman IS mentioned in the main game, it's an unlockable Arkham City Story. It's a direct, intentional tie-in.
Arkham timeline (aside from the main games) are like puzzle pieces that tried to connect with one another but it kept missing some pieces that should connect but instead added new pieces that doesnt connect with anything at all
Did you also know about Sarah Cassidy, in a case file of Victor Zsasz during the side mission in Arkham city, that it also states Batman saved her? Thought it was interesting that they continued on that continuity.
I cant believe bro forgot about Arkham Underworld and Arkham origins mobile
They don't really have a Story
@@ThePlagueDoctor1490 Arkham Underworld does have a story.
@darealwan6831
Oh didn't knew
I think SS is canon but happens in another timeline.
But honestly the time gap between Knight and SS is pretty interesting though.
The Riddler novel also says thst batman fought joker in a bank in arkham city (this happened in origins), and riddler says that Arkham City was his last encounter with Batman in Arkham Knight. I don't know for sure though, but i remember being really confused by that first one.
In my opinion Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate COULD be canon if you just pretend it's Killer Croc and not Solomon Grundy
I love how announcing something as canon doesn’t change whether or not it’s fundamentally chronological. Fundamentals dictate canon, not labels.
If the riddler novel is as good as you say, i will advocate that (from what you said in the video) Batman could've been talking about "does she know im turning into Joker?"
victor "zayz"
DISCLAIMER
DO NOT take a shot everytime GP says "canon"!
Trust me you will die of liver failiure
I agree that even SSKTJL is canon, because devs said that, just like they did with Origins.
But i'm spliting it on Actual Arkham (Asylum - Knight) and alternatives (Origins, Blackgate, Shadow, and alternative ending as SSKTJL).
Because of redesign, place and story disconections between WBM and Rocksteady's Arkham.
The developers of Batman Arkham Shadow in a recent interview said that the events of their game take place 6 months after Arkham origins and 3 months after Arkham origins blackgate. I think they wouldn't include mention of this game if they weren't including it in canon.
Take a shot everytime he says cannon 😂
I’d love to see a video going over the lore inconsistencies in canon honestly
I think Kill the Justice League is canon with a huge asterisk next to it. With all the multiverse stuff going on in it, I think it’s gonna be revealed that either 1. This one of multiple alternate timelines for the Arkham series, or 2. There’s gonna be some big magic thing that undoes the events of this game or just reestablishes the status quo, and only parts of this game will be canon if we get anything taking place later on
fun fact: the idea of canon isn't what a company or fan dictates, but is a mostly consistent series of reasonable events that can correlate and build off of each other to make a cohesive story. if multiple entries of a series at least have let's say 80% canon to them, and 20% inconsistencies[half off if merely cosmetic or 40% is fine]... then it is canon. when there are errors within a story that cause core questions to arise, these are known as plot holes. though just because something is unexplained doesn't mean it is bad... it is though when not properly explained or never done so.
suicide squad has a lot to answer for on how the justice league failed at all.... because in almost every other continuity including arkham-verse there is a a clear statement of heroes save the day and it is quite clear that of all things, the justice league have defeated brainiac [except with suicide squad]. batman has had to deal with a lot more tech[riddler, freeze, and strange]/chem[bane, scarecrow and joker] foes than the rest.... how is it that he of all people gets put down? especially with his skill set and history of beating Joker and Harley Quinn? routinely? [as stated in the video.]
this is where I would state suicide squad isn't canon... one is the fact that an antidote for titan[yes modified bane venom, but still] was developed easily in asylum, and that with batman's rogues gallery he should be the most prepared for mess-ups of this nature... also I bet he would shock the robots within him to death [Leon Kennedy style] or something to stop the spread from happening... he ain't a noob in this stuff... he has to deal with joker after all. that guy is plain crazy. he is worse than brainiac which is basically just a super computer with legs.... should I even mention D.A.V.E. [Digitally Advanced Villain Emulator] from The Batman cartoon series (2004-2008)? [different universe I know, but still a point, batman could lose ground, but doesn't lose enough to completely fail.] also Joker not being dead is pretty good point to disregard its being canon... because Knight is all about dealing with a dead Joker from City.
Hope you have a great day & Safe Travels!
Great Video and (My opinion) my Headcanon for The Arkhamverse is Arkham Origins and It’s DLC Initiation and Cold Cold Heart, Arkham Origins Blackgate, Arkham Asylum, Arkham Lockdown, Arkham City with The DLC Harley Quinn Revenge and at Least Arkham Knight with The Season of Infamy DLC and the Respective Characters DLC (Like Red Hood,Robin Etc Etc Etc…) for the Perfect Ending
I didn’t Included the Arkham Comics since the’re a Little Contradictory (even if I like to read them) and like to think that these comics are their own Thing and because in one Bane is Killed by the Arkham Knight Before The Same Title Game but in the Game it’s said he has Gone to Santa Prisca To Kill some Drug Lords and the Kill the Justice league Game because it’s Just a Bad Fan Fiction and Destroy everything we loved in My Opinion. and now the Arkhamverse it’s expanding with Arkham Shadow Set Between Origins and Asylum and it looks Amazing and Promising Even if its a Meta Quest Exclusive (I also liked the Animated movie Assault of Arkham but I like more to have it as it’s own Thing since at The End Joker Seems to die by an Explosion and it’s before Arkham Asylum).
