Seeing the poor response to rocksteady's Suicide Squad, really got me thinking about Gotham knights... and how awful it was

Now you have to make a SSKTJL video. This cliffhanger is worse than Infinity War.
@@twobrosincorporated nah
Next is Suicide squad kill the justice league
@@jkhk7051 yeau
I thought this video was about suicide squad
"DC's worst game"
Suicide Squad: *Allow me to introduce myself*
Would you believe me if I told you this video was suppose to come out before Suicide Squad?
nah man, suicide squad is significantly better than Gotham Knights. I have 24 hours on gotham knights and over 110 on suicide squad
@@AlexWebb101 Yeah, figures 😅
@@Speakeazy Suicide Squad, while deeply flawed, looks genuinely like an enjoyable game, would you say it's worth picking up?
@@ChonkemsI can atleast see myself somewhat enjoying it ,while gotham knights was just unbearable
"oh no, this is DC's worst game😭"
"DC's worst game SO FAR☝️"
There's still hope from Monolith's Wonder Woman game. It could probably break the grounds and prove that it can be DC's worst game.
@@PurooRoyi hope thats not the case. btw james gunn was thinking of making it canon to his dc universe
@@jadenpollen34 probably depends on the quality/reception of the game atp
@@PurooRoydidn’t it get canceled
@@Saintphish no. They've just gone silent on it because it's in the development phase. Monolith was open for mass hiring last year, which means the actual work started after that. Might take around 2 more years to announce the game, since they don't want another Gotham Knights.
“Perhaps I treated you too harshly…”
-Batman fans on Gotham Knights now after Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
As Fleekazoid said, no. You didn't judge it too harshly. Just because I took a regular dump yesterday and had diarrhea today, it doesn't make my poop from yesterday suddenly appetizing.
Dude I was going to say the exact same saying lol@@Vherstinae
@@Vherstinae no? gotham knights is actually a decent game thats overrhated
There's still hope for Wonder Woman though. 🤞
@@PurooRoy why tho? She isn't interesting, her powers are very run of the mill and you can just play AC Odyssey if you want to be a Greek demigod slaying monsters
Imagine if they made a superman game. The diversity in powers, the plot, the enemies, the potential would be insane!
A wonder woman game set in the Arkham universe where she gets hit on by Harley Quinn, and Batman got shot in the head? Hard pass, won't even pirate
At least Gotham Knights treated Batman with dignity and his demise was fitting to his character and it was emotional.
Real
Lmao Arkham Batman isn’t dead
@@rpwc5244 Even worse. SSKJTL cant commit to killing the Justice League even when it's in its name
@@Jojo-nq3bp I mean you technically did kill the justice league but just not our justice league, so they did kill the justice league 😭
At least this batman went out with a bang.
I’m going to say something bad about the suicide squad game, then someone’s going to say they only have 24 hours on Gotham knights and over 110 hours on suicide squad
Oh gosh he's everywhere 💀
@@johnnysaurus04Makes you believe that there's even less than 1000 players in that game(bots)
What
@@Koda.Rwhat
@@johnnysaurus04huh
I love ya Alex, but Origins slander will NOT be tolerated. Yes, its the weakest Arkham game, (i refuse to acknowledge SSKTJL's existence) but its still great in its own right.
It's the kinda game that's easily skippable. There's zero reason to play it when you can play 3 way better games in the series.
@@JDelwynnStill a good game though
@@JDelwynnthat deathstroke boss fight though
@@JDelwynn Storywise I think its worth it, other than that you're right.
Knight is the weakest Arkham game tbh, Origins is fantastic.
“DC’s worst game”
Boyo, Supes 64 called….
Exactly
At least that game was so bad it was fun to mock it. The Suicide Squad game was just a slog to get through.
Well DCs worst game until Rocksteady came back.
Breaking records since 2009
@@Blublublu23 In a way yeah.
"Uhm achyually, I spent 140 hours on SS, and 30 on Gotham Knights! SS is better bro." 🤓
@@Felipe2000-r6k I've seen people defending SS by saying this. Just cause 1% of the playerbase spends 100+ hours doesn't make it good lol
@lordkratos6093 ss is a better game though.
DC's Worst Game until last month 💀
nah man, suicide squad is significantly better than Gotham Knights. I have 24 hours on gotham knights and over 110 on suicide squad
One can like slop, but talking others to pay for that slop is sad af.The game is not gonna make it out of those 1000 players XD
@@Speakeazyyyyeeeeah no
@@Koda.R a thousand players on one system. Surprisingly a system with less owners than the other twi
@@Speakeazy Just like with marvel avengers
It probably has a low player account for those 2 systems standards so don't cope too hard there
Also Gollum has a 3/5 on Playstation,so S-Squad having a 4 means nothing lmao
Why is Alex calling Man: Ham Oranges a mid game? Is he stupid?
Is he the jonkler
Is the lore and reason why?
Jonkler was amazing in “Man Ham: Oranges”along vinlans like Deepstoke, Vain, and mlack bask
He don't like Bone
He got hired by jonkler to troll man ham fans in youtube
I strongly believe this was a live service game that they quickly changed into a single player one
I can see that being the case
seeing people praising this game after seeing how bad SSKTJL is, is so funny
Worst? Superman 64, Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis, the videogame tie-in to Halle Berry's Catwoman, Batman: Dark Tomorrow. I'd even put Gotham Knights above Justice League Heroes but that's just me.
While Gotham Knights is far from the best, it's not the worst. That's just being disingenuous. And Origins is not a mid game. A hill I would die on.
Disagree with the Origins slander in this video, also saying “awful” review scores while showing a ton of reviews as 70% doesn’t add up.
Edit: The statement I made about the reviews was about Gotham Knights, not Origins
11:40
Same here, Origins is amazing and a worthy prequel
Absolutely , I love that game
I like Orgins a lot. Even though its a City reskin, it has some of the best fights. Including my GOAT Deathstroke (before they washed him in Knight). Wish honestly the game could've focused around Black Mask more, but what we got was still great.
@@nillypc42Origins has the best characterization for Bruce. Anyone who slanders it is blinded by bias.
@@PakistaniSenpai Alfred was enjoyable as well. Their dynamic was explored well.
For as messy as Gotham Knights’ story is, I see it as a case of missed potential. A tale of Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Robin working together to fill the shoes left behind after the death of Batman seems like a great story for a game or movie. At least you can say it’s better than the Gotham Knights tv show am I right
Yeah it definitely could have worked especially with the court of owls. But the messy execution of the game in just about everyway is the problem. Timing I think was also a problem. A few years after Batman seems to die in Arkham Knight, they release a game with Batman dead and you play as a bunch of the Bat Family that appeared in those games wit combat that appeared to be based on the same combat system. How could they expect people to not draw comparisons.
I don't even want to think about that garbage show.
They said so many times that this was not an Arkham game, yet everyone is complaining how this isn't an Arkham game.
Well it still f***ING sucked😊
This video was just the appetizer for the Suicide Squad review. Very clever Alex.
when people use the iPhone alarm in videos always it makes my mind flinch and go “oh shit fuck” for just a quick second. im so used to hearing it wake me up for work every day 😭
Literally 😭
"DCs Worst Game"
Sorry bro that's gotta go to Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League or Batman Dark Tomorrow
nah man, suicide squad is significantly better than Gotham Knights. I have 24 hours on gotham knights and over 110 on suicide squad
arkham origins blackgate was even worse
@@fxnnxthat one Arkham lphone game
@@Speakeazyspam
@@SpeakeazyI have 134 hours on Marvel's Avengers and only 115 (100% completion) on GOW Ragnarok. Does that mean Marvel's Avengers is better than GOW Ragnarok?
Still better than Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League
Alex Webb next video:
The amazing story of Batman’s greatest game series
The thumbnail:
Lego Batman 1,2,3
Batgirl's dumptruck is the only reason I ever considered playing this game. And I still didn't.
Perhaps we treated Gotham Knights too harshly
Gotham knights compared to the suicide squad game is a masterpiece.
Yeah at least Gotham Knights somewhat respects their characters.......SS KTJL is just disrespectful and shameful for the Arkham franchise as a whole
I feel bad for WB Games Montreal. Arkham Origins is a great game but people just hate it because it wasn't made by Rocksteady, if it was the first of the series, It'd be praised.
Well that and gamers be judging Origins for recycling stuff from its predecessor Arkham City. Like that automatically makes it a bad or lazy entry which to me honestly feels kind of shallow to be honest to judge something on face value and not even trying to give it a chance. And honestly it’s not like Origin’s is the only game that recycles stuff from it’s predecessor that had only a year or two to be made. Just look at the 2nd N64 Zelda entry Majora for example. Is that game also lazy for recycling Ocarina’s graphics. Gameplay. Music. And especially NPC’s. No it’s not it’s still a very enjoyable & fresh entry for its story/lore & it’s setting. Heck Smash Bros Melee has a fair amount of its newcomers being clone characters. Is that game also a lazy or cheap game for having recycling. And that’s another game that came out a year or two after it’s predecessor Smash 64.
Respectfully I disagree with Arkham Origins being mid. Even though that is your opinion respectfully, I still say the game had some of the best boss fights of the whole series and had possibly the best story out of the series, too, I do agree the game isn't perfect and the gameplay could've been improved, but nevertheless, I think it's still one of the most underrated Batman games and deserves more praise as a great prequel game if you ask me
All the boss fights from origins suck. combat is worse than CIty and the gloves make it piss easy. The entire world is a copy paste of Arkham city.
Deathstroke is a glorified cutscene, literally press counter to win
Firefly: throw batarangs, dodge the exact same attacks, throw glue bomb, and batclaw
repeat this 2 more times and you beat him. Boring gameplay
Bane: literally just keep jumping over him until he gets tired.
I don't understand how anyone can say these are good boss fights
Origins is a 5/10, maybe 6 if I'm being generous. Everything this game does Arkham City does better
Its not underrated in the slightest
I have no idea why Arkham fans are so weirdly protective of this game
@@ysurfed4648they're stupid because they like the mid man ham oranges game with no lore reason
@@deotic officer balls!?
@@ysurfed4648I like it because the christmas atmosphere is insane and I like seeing the more unhinged younger Batman. The relationship with Alfred was great, the crime scene investigation is insanely cool and makes you feel like the worlds greatest detective. It gave some lesser known villains the spotlight and I think its the only game that made an accurate Bane so far. It gave lesser known villains the spotlight and even though he was a bit repetitive, the joker was also great. Its not perfect but not as bad as people make ot out to be.
@@ysurfed4648you can simplify a lot of boss fights in the Batman Arkham games like this. Most aren’t complex but they can still be good.
I will never forgive the French Canadians for making this game. GREAT VIDEO THOUGH!
YESSIR
Only 4 likes, pimps? Looks like Fleek fell off smh
Honestly, if they added a 60fps patch, I'd actually give this game a chance
Same
Batman Arkham Origins had the best boss fights in the Arkham series. Especially the boss fight with Deathstroke. Unlike how they did his boss fight in Arkham knight with tanks.
It really makes me wonder why WB didn't bother to remove live service for Suicide Squad KTJL too
That game 100% is going to get pulled from digital stores in the next year or so like Avengers.
@@jamesmorris7844 exactly. But my point is that WB already experienced this (Gotham Knights) and they tried to salvage it with a year delay.
They're either out of touch boomers or have full confidence for that game to the point KTJL is officially canon in Akrhamverse
"Rockstar's version of batman"... bro
Gotham Theft Auto
wow I can’t wait for grand theft auto:Arkham Town version
12:21 aged like a fine wine
🤣
Very true
I would still rather consider this cannon than ssktjl
Look here Alex Webb, I love your videos and I love your content but I have to be completely honest with your opinion on Batman: Arkham Origins! I kindly respect it but I strongly disagree with it and think that it’s CRIMINALLY and HEAVILY UNDERRATED and I’m thinking about playing it alongside the Batman Arkham Trilogy for the first time ever whenever I get the chance!
This is who I watch while wating for Alex lennen to post
4:10 "Look Gary there I am!"
Sees thumbnail, you’re acting like suicide squad doesn’t exist
I wish I could act like Suicide Squad doesn't exist
I got for 10 bucks on sale.
For 10 bucks it's fine. It's the most fine a game can be.
gamers, looking at Gotham Knights after Suicide Squad came out: *perhaps I judged you too harshly*
This game and the tv show with the same name actually helped me create something better for myself
Bro there is no way Gotham Knights is worse than ssktjl because that game is THE WORST DC GAME IN HISTORY there is no way that ssktjl is better than Gotham Knights. It may have sucked but at least it wasn't nearly as awful as ssktjl
Releasing a video about how Gotham knights is apparently the worst dc game when kill the justice league just came out is probably the most unfortunate coincidence I’ve ever seen lmfao
Suicide Squad ruining my video title along with the Arkham series
@@AlexWebb101no, they are worse dc games.
I was about to say just wait till you play suicide squad game but well you included it in the outro. Hope you have a good time with it😂😂
I genuinely got enjoyment out of both Gotham knights and origins because if I find myself enjoying the story and characters I will continue to play no matter how bad gameplay can get
0:02 yes it is 4 in the morning indeed
Arkham games: 10/10
Gotham knights: not even close
SS: Far from anything that came before
3:44 MAN CAMEO!
I love how basically everyone recognizes This as still being better than SS
I’m actually both a spider man and Batman fan those two got me into superheroes and I’ve grown to love them even more as an adult
Lego batman was my start in Batman games and i lowkey loved just collecging batman heroes and villians
He called Rocksteady Rockstar right at the end
With this and the suicide squad game, I don’t have any faith in future DC games, for Christ’s sake this is sad
Thank god Alex changed the title. Gotham Knights may be bad but it isn't the worst that DC Games could offer.
Ending of the Video is 10/10😂😂😂
i actually really like this game's take on Harley Quinn, Clayface, and Penguin
Shoulda just went with Jason as the protagonist, trying to redeem himself while the bat-family supports him through the game
Cut the amount of sidestories, get the game to 60 fps, get rid of the rough edges around the combat and boom, there ya go, a much better game
14:05 Rockstar's version of Batman?
Just a slip up… 😅
Suicide squad kill the justice league at the end : allow us to introduce ourselves
Way better than Gotham knights tbf
@@condiment_king1232Gotham knights has a good story at least, unlike that shit that blew our beloved Batman's brains out. Gotham knights gave us an in character and honorable death for Batman, and they did it twice! Gotham Knights gameplay is really not good, but neither is Shit Squad. Just a generic online shooter game with no substance or value that only generated any publicity from shock due their audacity to kill Batman like that
@ihavenonamestilldonthaveon8970 Gotham knights story is truly awful with no idea of what it wants to accomplished and is serverly rushed.
Garbage can vs Trash can.
Man I wished that you include the Suicide Squad game into this video and you didn't let me down! Waiting for the video!
3:16 i quote that press conference so much man😂
I got left on a cliffhanger is a mini-doc you will not be forgiven
This game was actually released on my birthday october 21st
Let's not forget that there's also a Gotham Knights TV show, except it doesn't have ANY of the batfamily, and instead focuses on a brand new character who's Batman's adopted son named Turner Hayes and feels like he came from a wattpad fanfic or a late 2000s/early 2010s CW show since he doesn't even have a costume. He just wears a turtleneck, jeans, and a jacket
Alex Webb: Gotham Knights DC's worst game.
Rocksteady:Well we can go deeper than that.
"In life there are two paths you go down or you are a Spider-Man fan or you are a Batman fan"
Me:" are you so sure about it?"
Gotham Knights combat is just so fun. I’m 1000 hrs in and I’m still discovering more things I can do. I’ve also never experienced any bugs. My experience with GK is fantastic. I give it a 9.5 out of ten.
I love watching people play the combat wrong and complain about it 😂
I really wish that batman stayed alive once he was revived. then have the player able to play as batman for post game along with the rest of the bat family also leaving more stories avalible for sequals in this universe.
Superman 64: am i a joke for you?
The absolute fucking worst by a longshot
I played Lego Batman and fell in love with the characters. Whenever I think of Scarecrow or even Batman, I think to their Lego versions first
I was about 7-9? Somewhere around that time frame when I first saw my father play Arkham Aslyum for the first time
You think this is bad, wait until Suicide Squad.
7:52 To be fair, that's the only possible way to make him working with the others make any sense whatsoever. If he killed, no way in hell were Nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin going to work with him.
0:44 My man just insulted the childhood of an entire generation ☠️
I will not accept any Lego Batman slander 🙅🏻♂️
I'm eagerly awaiting the Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League video
sadly suicide squad game is ten times worse the Gotham knights
The insert from The Bear took me out LOL
Another Alex Webb video? We eating well tonight
I love your videos. Your history lessons on superhero media, especially video games, are hilarious. I remember watching your Web of Shadows video on loop when I had just moved to my favorite apartment in New York. If I was ever overwhelmed or anxious, your video would take a good load off and make me laugh like crazy. It was a good reminder to laugh and not take things too seriously. I was interning for Marvel and was about to meet a girl who became one of my best friends. Actually, I even had Web of Shadows on the Wii at the time, and your video managed to motivate me to play through the whole thing. 😂 Whenever I watch a new video of yours, I get a kick of energy and excitement I had during that sunny New York time. Thank you for your comedy, Alex Webb. Brilliantly done.
You know. I completely forgot about this game. Using these videos as background noise and TH-cam showed me this one. This and suicide squad were not distinguished at all in my brain. They were just stuffed into the same drawer that I only look at when there's a commentary channel talking about them.
Rocksteady downfall started after batman Arkham knight
Just wanted to say, idk why people have an issue with Jason's rounds being less lethal for THIS iteration. If anything I don't know why people wouldn't expect this. This is a Jason Todd who (idk if it's like this in the comics but) is quite close to the bat family and actively talking to Bruce. Did everyone think he'd just be blasting people again while Dick, Barbara & Tim are still sacred about the no killing rule? Besides you can still at least use guns, and not like tranq darts or something so it's a reasonable compromise.
I think that iPhone alarm scared me more then man bat did in Arkham Knight. Please don’t do that again and also…send me some underwear 😂
The worst DC game?? Did everyone forget Superman 64, Batman: Dark Tomorrow and Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis??
I didn't know origins wasn't developed by rocksteady, I remember it being as good as city so I just figured they made all 4 games.
Love that Batman, the rich billionaire, comes back in the end to kill himself off again and to say the rich guys are the scariest villains lmao. Like yea okay buddy.
Sometimes I kind of wish we got a sequel to Gotham knights.
Imagine making video named "dc worse game" about gotham knight. Just for SS to drop and take that title XD
They’re both so bad that it’s a tie
@captaincrunch1707 neh, SS is worse-
Gotham Knights at least dosent have Joker's side piece trying to morally ground stand batman, or pissing on Flash. As if Ezra Miller wasent bad enough already for Flash brand
Bro, love the videos! Please make one for the suicide squad game
Anyone else's thought after the first trailer Batman was just going to be playing dead until the third act of the game?
Suicide Squad: yh hold my beer
Nightwing got the fortnite glider, Red Hood got the Terraria fart jar accessory that allows him to double jump by farting
Babe wake up new Alex Webb video just dropped
2:56 How is a 74 mid? Shouldn't a mid score be in the 50's?
Hey Alex,
Love your videos man… Please bring out more and more in less time..😊
7:48, also don't forget that Arkham Knight was made on fucking UE3, a 2015 game made on UE3 and it still looks better than this game.
What I find interesting and kind of scummy is that WB Montreal didn't say Gotham Knights was connected to the Arkham games at first, but they didn't exactly say it wasn't. They definitely used the rumors and hype to their advantage, or disadvantage as the case may be.
Hey, the Arkham Origins online multiplayer can still be accessed on PC thanks to fan servers and modding. So it's not technically dead yet.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This isnt the worst DC game. *cough,cough* Suicide Squad
At this rate we'll get a Peacemaker game before a decent Batman Beyond game
