@@drlukas4242 personally I like the militia/thugs theories on his identity you can randomly hear. one says something like "Batman must be backed by the government. think about it, Gotham crime has been out of control for years, they don't wanna enact martial law and they can't trust GCPD, so Batman must be some kind of black op to fight crime off the books." then after Bruce's identity is revealed: "so he's just some rich guy? are you serious? I thought for sure he'd be some ex special forces or something. this is ridiculous." I'm paraphrasing obviously lol.
@@drlukas4242 There was a moment in the comics that was explained by Lucius to Clark, who was investigating, that Batman stole the tech from his company. Lucius never made it a big deal about it because "the tech is being used to save lives," then he stated that the insurance company help reimburse for the stolen tech, so they're not losing any profit. Now here's the kicker, Bruce Wayne privately owns and funds the insurance company, so pretty much Batman is buying his own stuff from the company that he owns.
I like how even after unmasking Batman still looked intimidating. Bruce's face was completely emotionless the entire time and made the impression like he's looking through scarecrow rather than at him
Alfred: "The whole world knows the identity of Batman sir, its over" Bruce: "Not yet, Riddler has hidden trophies all over the city. I need to find them all" Alfred: "....."
for people who don't know the context of the dream sequence is that scarecrows fear toxin basically cured batman of the joker disease which he contracted from the previous game and in this game batman was slowly turning into joker
It actually goes even further then that. Batman's greatest fear was turning into the Joker thanks to his infection in Arkham City. Batman's constant exposure to fear toxin in this game only strengthen that fear allowing the Joker personality to emerge. When Scarecrow injects Batman with the fear toxin it causes Batman's greatest fear to come true which is the Joker personality taking over him. And that's when the Scarecrow screws up because when he injects him a second time he is actually exposing the Joker personality to it's greatest fear which is being forgotten. Which allows Batman to overpower the Joker personality and make that fear come true locking the Joker personality away inside his mind never to be free again.
If you think about it, Joker wasn't immune to the toxin and neither was Bruce. They were both subjected to each others fears inside their head and cancelled each other out, Batman's fear was Joker taking over and Joker's fear was Batman (and being forgotten), leaving Batman to ultimately take control.
The truly scary part is that the Joker did win in the end. He took full control of Bruce's body defeating all his mental barriers after Scarecrow's first dose and he was ready to release him right there, not knowing of course the Joker was already out. He injected him the second dose out of pure frustration as he was confused by Bruce's (Joker) maniacal laughter and thus allowing Batman to fight back and reclaim his body. That one stroke of luck when Joker inadvertently plotted his own downfall by making Scarecrow administer him a second dose before setting him free was crucial.
Interesting thing is that when people are afraid, their pupil of the eye widens. When the Bruce's eyes change from green to blue, his pupil gets smaller. Which means Joker in his body was actually afraid, and Batman is not afraid at all.
Watching the end of this video hits very hard right now. There will never be another like you Mr. Kevin Conroy. You were and will always be Batman! Rest In Peace. 💔
Bruce was afraid of becoming Joker, and so the Joker took over. The Joker was afraid of Batman abandoning him, and so Batman came back and left Joker to rot in his mind. Batman was afraid of NOTHING.
@@TsuriaDragon that's a trauma at best, but one he has already overcame by seeing his new bat family well, in origins he was terrified when Alfred had cardiac arrest but in arkham knight his parents' passing is a mix of a sad memory and motivation to keep fighting, Jason being back and recovering from arkham was a huge boost too
He didn't die in SS, that's his plan, to stop his heart and brain for a minute to get out of the mind control It's his plan, it's batman's plan. He has everything under control all the time
In my opinion, what many people don't realize is that Batman has never been scared to be exposed. He's the f*cking Bruce Wayne anyway. Still one of the most powerful person in Gotham, even in the world. Bruce Wayne identity gives him some degree of "immunity". even in the face of Law (if he is brought to Justice).
Its not about that. Its about fear. Batman is an unknown entity, people fear that, they have no idea what he is. When unmasked its just some rich dude in a suit. Not that scary.

The camera close to the statue of the angel, and descending to the streets with a vehicle coming in high velocity...

@@zoxyy.1x in the beginning it was Batman keeping joker in his trunk. Now it seems like Batman who kept in trunk, but it actually still joker, because of Batman being exposed to infection
Story is fantastic but them damn bat mobile fights Just so much batmobile fighting other than that still. A good game Arkham city my fav Batman origins amazing boss fights on hard mode This one to.end the story of batman 🍰
idk maybe. Better graphics. Better lip syncing. Better Sound effects. Gloomier city. Cooler parts of the city. Better faces. Better fight styles. Darker stories. Way more gore (that would be cool). And overall, more fluidity.
This game wasnt perfect but as a whole it was an incredible Batman story. Hamill, Conroy, the whole thing was amazing. Certains parts off the game I cant stand but other than that its my favorite batman game ever
for me the worst part in all Batman related media is the overuse of the Joker. other villains in Batman's rogue gallery get overshadowed because of him.
The first person shooter parts of this was actually real good. I would have played it if it was its own game. The gunplay was decent, even when using a gamepad.
when bruce stays emotionless you know he's not snapping back from being batman. "i'm not afraid crane" if he didn't had a plan for this he could still do his job while being on the run
Man imagine how freaked out Scarecrow was when instead of breaking down in fear, Bruce Wayne started laughing manically (he didn't know about the Joker personality).
It would be interesting to imagine he was thinking: "Oh I fucked up I fucked up. Oh God am I gonna die? What the fuck did I do? Joker was bad enough but this is somehow worse, shit shit shit" Or something along those lines. Although I would wanna see what scarecrow would've felt if he released a jokerized Batman out in the world.
If you think it through, thanks to Joker batman got "immune" to the first time SC, applies the toxin, and thanks to SC, Joker got scared and Batman takes back the control of his own mind.

And all that, the rainfall, and story, and all, happened in just one night. So technically it's just a night of rainfall but gameplay makes it last infinitely.
@@enigmaartista2981 I mean in the span of one night it rained endlessly, the city got covered in toxins, then pollen, and then snow (depending on when you do Mr. Freeze's story).
Batman tends to be less powerful during cutscenes than during gameplay. An example is Henry Adams ordering him around holding a gun when in gameplay he could have done any number of things to take him down before he shot anyone.
@@McCaler Because, just because he lost the mask doesn’t mean he’s not batman anymore. He had a plan just incase, it’s just a persona, he could always make another one.
Love the game and have played it at least 5 times but for the love of God could have been a 10 out of 10 but why leave the big boss battles to stupid tank battles such a waste which is why for me it's a 9/10.
My favorite part about this is that the Joker in Batman's mind is actually the Arkhamverse's version of the Batman Who Laughs. 3:25 From everyone's perspective in this mental world, this is Batman but with the Joker's personality taken over. From our perspective (and likely Batman's too), this is the Joker. Essentially, the *Batman Who Laughs = The Joker with mind and body of Batman* Unlike in the comics, this Batman Who Laughs calls himself the Joker and thinks he's the original, but reborn in Batman's body.
@@06pag Yeah, but Batman Who Laughs in the comics knows he's Bruce Wayne while the Arkhamverse version thinks he's the actual Joker reborn in Batman's body. Very crazy people.
Now imagine being the most proficient escape artist in the history of human kind, but without ur belt u can’t escape the bars and break scarecrow in half in a millisecond.
I love how Batman keeps Martha as his password and while in another universe she's the one to be devastated by Bruce's death and Thomas become The dark knight and he's worse 😂 straight up killing and giving 0 fucks 🤣.
@@dabob878 it may not be up to the standards of its other siblings in the series and has relied on joker's mental apparition a lot but it is still a good game. just because it has a weaker presence and feel than the others world wise doesn't mean i didn't like it and its conclusion to batman's story and multiple others like mr freeze
@@randomyoutubecommentersecu7639 another one of these annoying ass haters just like those that were hating on amazing Spider-Man . This game is loads of fun and has a really good story behind it. I guess if you’re a “true fan” u probably would find the tiniest of details to cry about but if you’re a decent human you’ll enjoy this.
With the number of times Crane has been injected with his own fear toxin, you'd think he'd have develop some system of preventing himself from being affected by it by now.
I always wondered what would have happened if Batman was just a nobody underneath the mask. Would anyone care? Like if no one knew his name but knew his face would it mean anything? Think of it as just a random dude on the street you see.
He will get famous instantly even if his a nobody.. Remember peter Parker on a movie?? His a nobody, but look what happen .. People will care even if you're a nobody behind that mask because of the impact that you made in the city as a vigilante and your track record history.. Even if you're a homeless guy you become instant Celebrity if your identity is revealed to the public, because your the batman behind that mask
@@MrBenedick14 both heroes are famous in their cities for very different reasons. Spidey gives people hope, he makes public appearances often and entertains people with his charisma, people WANT to see him. While Bats dresses all in black and stays in shadows to strike fear into criminals, always serious and unknown, even the people who he saves don't want to cross him. If and when Spidey's identity is revealed, people would admire him more. Because he's a nobody as you said, a guy struggling to keep up on rent, a relateable person doing amazing things. If and when Bats' identity is revealed, people would fear him less, even if he was a random guy because now they know "it's just some random guy" no reason to fear him but it's even worse when it's the rich playboy Bruce Wayne behind the mask. I just love how both have similar moral codes but are very different in almost every other way. My favorite superheroes.
@@thevideocommenter3061 From what I've read, most people hate Spider-man and only the few people who've been helped by him have a positive opinion of him
9:48 - Notice how Jason only shoots _one_ restraint off Bruce. Bruce totally busted through the other one. Pretty interesting to see Bruce could've broken free on his own the whole time, but didn't. Why? Guess we'll never know, but I'm guessing it's because he wanted out and wanted to initiate the Knightfall Protocol.
For most of this scene Scarecrow is only in control because Batman is allowing him to be. He's resigned to die here, having lost hope of being cured of Jokerization, and viewing it as the lesser evil compared to turning into another Joker. But then Scarecrow's fear toxin ironically ends up curing him. So at that point, no reason not to just beat his ass and live.
Scarecrow seeing Bruce just laughing and laughing after being feared would be terrifying. I'd love to see one where he looks like Bruce the whole time and it's just a personality shift.
The funny thing is that Scarecrow spent the whole game thinking he was the big deal, when his only accomplishment was making Batman almost kill them all.
That whole shooting the stone statues part took me a minute, i was posted in a corner and every time i looked right or left and left any space out of frame another statue popped up but the sequence wouldn't move forward until i let one spawn behind me. It started to get really tense
Here's a thought and this is a what if.... image before being unmasked, bullock with Azazel burst in along with Nightwing to stop scarecrow but he anticipated that nightwing, while Azazel, left to recuse any prisoners held in arkham would show up as batman told him to quickly take red Robin to the hospital but not Bullock since he didn't take him seriously as he left standing between him and unmasking batman. He had one final surprise for them. Since Bullock knew that batman is bruce already and making harvery temporary playable to fight off some thugs and mutated strong man, he stand firm already to charge at scarecrow but as he gets closer, Crane sprayed him with fear gas and he fell. Here's the sad part, he shot bullock in the back as Jim stand helpless watched as he died. Having no other choice, Jim is prepared to unmasked batman but before he do as he place his hands on batman's head, nightwing appeared and decided to unmasked himself to the public. The world as shocked and this infuriated scarecrow to shot nightwing in the back. Batman shout in angry as Jim rush to nightwing. And that's when scarecrow decided to inject the fear toxic and the rest is history.
the fact that joker said, i need you to batman i felt really bad because he was just someone really broken and cant find happines like batman but an enemy
this game made me get attached to it drastically... it was an honour to be a batman of arkham one last time. Tribute to the game developers for creating this master piece. will newer gonna get over this game till my last breath
Love the fact that even though Scarecrow did not give a shit about who actually is Batman, he was still shocked to see Bruce Wayne inside the cowl.
And at the same time, it still came off that it didn't really matter to him. He just went "Bruce Wayne? Huh. Well, let's continue."
So nobody thought that all the super high tech stuff well ahead of its time had something to do with Bruce Wayne
@@rossfowler7530 I agree but there are other options on how he got his tech.
Either it is somebody rich who isn't Bruce Wayne.

@@McCaler Because, just because he lost the mask doesn’t mean he’s not batman anymore. He had a plan just incase, it’s just a persona, he could always make another one.
@@shadophaxx2401 more like hey I know who your loved ones are and I know where you live now.
I beat this game and collected all the riddler trophies three times now. Thinking about doing it a 4th time thanks to this video.
Same
Go for it bud
Love the game and have played it at least 5 times but for the love of God could have been a 10 out of 10 but why leave the big boss battles to stupid tank battles such a waste which is why for me it's a 9/10.
I collected all trophies as well!
3 times? Are you insane? I barely survived doing it once.
My favorite part about this is that the Joker in Batman's mind is actually the Arkhamverse's version of the Batman Who Laughs. 3:25 From everyone's perspective in this mental world, this is Batman but with the Joker's personality taken over. From our perspective (and likely Batman's too), this is the Joker.
Essentially, the *Batman Who Laughs = The Joker with mind and body of Batman* Unlike in the comics, this Batman Who Laughs calls himself the Joker and thinks he's the original, but reborn in Batman's body.
Well, Batman Who Laughs is Batman who killed Joker and was infected with the jokerification disease, so it makes sense.
@@06pag Yeah, but Batman Who Laughs in the comics knows he's Bruce Wayne while the Arkhamverse version thinks he's the actual Joker reborn in Batman's body. Very crazy people.
I like how people in gotham expect someone they know inside the mask, like bro what if it's some random dude?
- It's time to expose the Batman! Who the hell are you?
- Josefi Krakowski.
- Damn it.
They probably knew it was someone rich and famous.
The moment Batman overpowered Crane was in my opinion the scariest thing Batman did in the Arkhamverse
Love how Doomguy became batman after all the demonfighting stuff
modern day face recognition would figure out who batman is in a few seconds just by that exposed chin.
imagine being peak human physique and being so in control, that you're simply not scared of anything
Now imagine being the most proficient escape artist in the history of human kind, but without ur belt u can’t escape the bars and break scarecrow in half in a millisecond.
9:51 you can see bruce with his mask on for a split second, even though his mask was already taken off
Good eye
I wished we could’ve seen Batman at this part when he is Joker lol to hear Kevin Conroy be the Joker 5:40
What a fitting end of the series, I'm glad they didn't tarnish it with a terrible spin off
Haha,,,,
I know, can you imagine? Thankfully Rocksteady will always be awesome and not turn the next game over to some feminazi hacks to write it!
Man fuck them, the people who ruined this franchise.
Haha! That would be stupid. Imagine they made a game where you play as 4 street criminals and kill arkham batman haha!!!!
So glad they didn't kill everyone interesting in this universe!!!
I love how Batman keeps Martha as his password and while in another universe she's the one to be devastated by Bruce's death and Thomas become The dark knight and he's worse 😂 straight up killing and giving 0 fucks 🤣.
Best Batman adaption ever and WE EVEN PLAYED IT! No Dark Knight movie is ever going to beat this
r u kidding ? this is the worst game in the series ? The Batman and The Dark Knight clears this .
@@dabob878 it may not be up to the standards of its other siblings in the series and has relied on joker's mental apparition a lot but it is still a good game. just because it has a weaker presence and feel than the others world wise doesn't mean i didn't like it and its conclusion to batman's story and multiple others like mr freeze
@@randomyoutubecommentersecu7639 another one of these annoying ass haters just like those that were hating on amazing Spider-Man . This game is loads of fun and has a really good story behind it. I guess if you’re a “true fan” u probably would find the tiniest of details to cry about but if you’re a decent human you’ll enjoy this.
@@cdjthg9516 maybe he suck at the game and that's why he's bitching about it
I gotta get on whatever kush your doing sounds lit
With the number of times Crane has been injected with his own fear toxin, you'd think he'd have develop some system of preventing himself from being affected by it by now.
Scarecrow said he didn't care who Batman really was but he was still surprised seeing it was Bruce Wayne under the cowl
This incarnation isn't hiding the voice at all, so that would give him away instantly.
Coming here after that Suicide Squad of a game, good Lord I can't tell you, how much satisfying Arkham story in all is
R.I.P Kevin Conroy, He was the greatest Batman voice actor.
We all knew who he was from beginning of the game but when scarecrow says Wayne Bruce Wayne it just kinda give goosebumps
The way he said it, wow. @8:41 They do need each other though. Kinda cool that Joker admitted it.
10:41 That's one stunning visual.
I always wondered what would have happened if Batman was just a nobody underneath the mask. Would anyone care? Like if no one knew his name but knew his face would it mean anything? Think of it as just a random dude on the street you see.
He will get famous instantly even if his a nobody.. Remember peter Parker on a movie?? His a nobody, but look what happen .. People will care even if you're a nobody behind that mask because of the impact that you made in the city as a vigilante and your track record history.. Even if you're a homeless guy you become instant Celebrity if your identity is revealed to the public, because your the batman behind that mask
@@MrBenedick14 both heroes are famous in their cities for very different reasons. Spidey gives people hope, he makes public appearances often and entertains people with his charisma, people WANT to see him. While Bats dresses all in black and stays in shadows to strike fear into criminals, always serious and unknown, even the people who he saves don't want to cross him.
If and when Spidey's identity is revealed, people would admire him more. Because he's a nobody as you said, a guy struggling to keep up on rent, a relateable person doing amazing things.
If and when Bats' identity is revealed, people would fear him less, even if he was a random guy because now they know "it's just some random guy" no reason to fear him but it's even worse when it's the rich playboy Bruce Wayne behind the mask.
I just love how both have similar moral codes but are very different in almost every other way. My favorite superheroes.
@@thevideocommenter3061 Isn't it that most people hate spider-man for the propagnda JJJ spreads about him?
@@isaacagao6576 no not most people, a very small portion. also he's even on good terms with the cops
@@thevideocommenter3061 From what I've read, most people hate Spider-man and only the few people who've been helped by him have a positive opinion of him
Love Scarecrow's reaction to the unmasking.
Almost a "Huh...that's something...anyway"
He said he wouldn't care who batman was, but was shocked that it was Bruce Wayne all along.
His reaction felt realistic. He seems surprised at first but quickly put the pieces together.
Wouldn't you be shocked if it was Elon Musk 😂
Rest in peace, Kevin, your voice is Bruce's, forever
After such an epic scene between Scarecrow and Batman it’s a shame I had to do so many of the Riddler’s challenges for the secret ending. 😩
9:48 - Notice how Jason only shoots _one_ restraint off Bruce. Bruce totally busted through the other one. Pretty interesting to see Bruce could've broken free on his own the whole time, but didn't. Why? Guess we'll never know, but I'm guessing it's because he wanted out and wanted to initiate the Knightfall Protocol.
easier to break out with a hand free
For most of this scene Scarecrow is only in control because Batman is allowing him to be. He's resigned to die here, having lost hope of being cured of Jokerization, and viewing it as the lesser evil compared to turning into another Joker.
But then Scarecrow's fear toxin ironically ends up curing him. So at that point, no reason not to just beat his ass and live.
A version of this scarecrow in live action would be great
Scarecrow seeing Bruce just laughing and laughing after being feared would be terrifying. I'd love to see one where he looks like Bruce the whole time and it's just a personality shift.
The funny thing is that Scarecrow spent the whole game thinking he was the big deal, when his only accomplishment was making Batman almost kill them all.
Who is here after the Suicide Squad trash Story?
F
One of the subtle details I love in this scene is how Bruce's veins expand in his face when he's injected with the fear toxin (9:20)
damn this is awesome.
would be a shame if a game comes out after that ruins it.
oh wait
I just love how the inner Joker doesn't give a shit about what Scarecrow said lmao, like the Joker already knows everything so well xD
Well, Joker is crazy
Great ending, im glad Batman got a great sendoff and nobody compromised it
5:01 well some men really loves to watch the world burn just like the joker
batman arkham trilogy is the best purchase ive made
"I Am Vengeance, I Am The Night, I Am BATMAN" 🦇
*This is the best Look of JOKER for me*
The aesthetic of everything Batman uses being this hyper tech item has it´s appeal.
RIP Kevin Conroy and thank you for everything.
John noble did a phenomenal job as scarecrow.
You’d never know he’s Australian.
8:41 hamill's joker to conroy's batman. rip goat.
What game is rhai
That whole shooting the stone statues part took me a minute, i was posted in a corner and every time i looked right or left and left any space out of frame another statue popped up but the sequence wouldn't move forward until i let one spawn behind me. It started to get really tense
So, as per your logic, the Batman jumpscare only happens when one of the statue spawns right behind you?
@@darkspeinwarrior that's the way it happened for me. It may not be one standing behind you but having a large section of the area off screen.
@@augury2699 Ah well, thanks for the heads up. Now I can prepare for the scare.
Here's a thought and this is a what if.... image before being unmasked, bullock with Azazel burst in along with Nightwing to stop scarecrow but he anticipated that nightwing, while Azazel, left to recuse any prisoners held in arkham would show up as batman told him to quickly take red Robin to the hospital but not Bullock since he didn't take him seriously as he left standing between him and unmasking batman. He had one final surprise for them. Since Bullock knew that batman is bruce already and making harvery temporary playable to fight off some thugs and mutated strong man, he stand firm already to charge at scarecrow but as he gets closer, Crane sprayed him with fear gas and he fell. Here's the sad part, he shot bullock in the back as Jim stand helpless watched as he died. Having no other choice, Jim is prepared to unmasked batman but before he do as he place his hands on batman's head, nightwing appeared and decided to unmasked himself to the public. The world as shocked and this infuriated scarecrow to shot nightwing in the back. Batman shout in angry as Jim rush to nightwing. And that's when scarecrow decided to inject the fear toxic and the rest is history.
11:00 This is too hard to watch right now 🖤🙏🏾🦇
All this time I thought It was Harvey Dent, thanks for uploading this
Does harvey dent have abs tho?
the fact that joker said, i need you to batman i felt really bad because he was just someone really broken and cant find happines like batman but an enemy
seeing the toxin making veins all swollen, I feel sorry for batman's kidneys
I remember watching this live on tv. Nobody suspected Bruce Wayne.
All this buildup just to KILL Batman in Kill the Justice League.
You’re telling me Gordon couldn’t tackle crane?
this game made me get attached to it drastically... it was an honour to be a batman of arkham one last time. Tribute to the game developers for creating this master piece. will newer gonna get over this game till my last breath
