I want to formally apologize for putting Nolanverse over DCAU. Please put your frustration into a like on the video, I heard that’s the best way to get back at me idk
I'll get back at you then 😊
Well take this!
*adds like
It's okay nolanverse over dcau is not terrible
Icl don’t be sorry their your opinions and even if you prefer DCAU and were being nostalgic who cares man I’m just grateful about the time you took out of your day to make this sorry about everyone being mad
People are entitled to their own opinions, you can prefer whichever you like. Sorry that everyone was a jerk about it
21:00 “Why did Riddle let Catwoman keep her gadgets when she was locked up in Arkham Knight? Is he stupid?”
Me: HE SAID IT! HE SAID THE THING!!
back to the madhouse we go
Back to man ham aslume
HE JONKLED
I WILL DEFEND THE REMOTE CONTROL BATARANG
I’d say there’s several maps where I can come in handy as a quick distraction for enemies that would be a bit too far away for the normal Batarang to reach. Also in the Arkham knight version of the Batcave you can use the gadget to knock people off of walkways super easily which actually is so overpowered that you can get three stars on the level without taking a single step forward or using a grappling hook. Seriously I’ve tried and it’s completely possible largely because of the remote control Batarang
Another cool thing bout the Batclaw in predeator was in the original Arkham Asylum, after getting the Ultra Batclaw you could practically pull upto 3 enemies of ledges at once...it was so fun and hilarious to use in the challenge maps
The Batarang is a solid S Tier for me.
Not only is it iconic but in these games it is so practical. Here are just a few things I can do:
1. Stun Enemy
2. Stun Multiple Enemies
3. Knock Enemies down for finisher
4. Hit Buttons
5. Cut gargoyle ropes to scare goons
6. Multi-Batarang Takedown
7. Takedown charging enemies
8. Blind Bane & Titans
9. Hit high up enemies
10. Knock people off of ledges
11. Scare people
12. Lure people
13. Detonate fire extinguishers
14. Detonate explosive canisters
15. Explosive Batarang Takedown
And that’s not even counting unique variance of this gadget such as the Sonic Batarang and remote control Batarang
Also the battering will typically Prioritize specific enemies of significant threat. This can be said for a lot of things in the Arkham combat but I think it’s worth noting since you don’t want the bad orang hitting an enemy on the opposite side of the field and not the guy who’s about to take a swing at you. So this quality of life feature comes in handy
The thing I like so much about the batarang is it is just so useful, not broken but useful. You can knock up to three enemies down in combat, which is a lot at the end, but in the huge combat encounters isn't that many at the beginning.
In predator it is a silent gadget, but makes noise when you do a knock out with it. However, it can also be used to trigger smoke from fire extinguishers. As I said, useful, but not broken.
Nolanverse being above Dcau is CRAZY
No offense to Nolan, his take on Batman is definitely good and helped Prove to the general public that superhero movies could be cool. But the DCAU is just better in almost every way
so is ssktjl being above useless
It's just preference
DCAU 10x better than Nolanverse & I love the trilogy.
Nolanverse above dcau is a valid opinion
Joker tier list in Arkham Asylum:
COMBAT
Gun: NolanVerse. Only one shot, but it instantly kills someone. It also bumps up your challenge score by a lot
PREDATOR
Gun: NolanVerse. While it is loud, it can kill more than one enemy if lined up. Pretty strong
Detective Googles: Mid. They're not like Batman's detective vision. You have to stand still to use it, big disadvantage.
Chattering teeth: DCAU. Mixed with the gun, you can kill a lot of enemies, just like Harley Quinn's Jack in the box.
Joker tier list in Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League:
COMBAT
Gun: mid. It’s just a gun
Ability: DCAU. It’s good for damage but you can’t move around with it.
PREDATOR
there is no predator in SSKTJL (cause why would there be)
the chattering teeth cannot be used in challenge maps last time i tried, their not in your inventory
@@gustthestupidnoob2393 They definitely can be used. Joker can only be used in challenge maps, where else could you use the chattering teeth?
@@IL_FICO sorry for the misscomunication, i meant on combat maps, not challenge maps in general
@@gustthestupidnoob2393 So they removed chattering teeth in combat maps? Eh who cares, not that they're that useful anyway
Why does everyone forget the ultra batclaw from asylum 😢 you could literally yank 3 guys right off a ledge/bridge AND pull down explosive walls
True, it was op
aint no way you seriously think nolanverse is better than DCAU
You right…was a dumb choice lol, idk why my mind thinking that haha maybe nostalgia with TDK
These people obsess over tdk as if it were the greatest thing put on film. Can tell by the voice the dude isn't old enough to have a thorough knowledge on it all lol
@@rileyk5228 TDK is a masterpiece and he admitted it was a dumb choice. Relax bro 😭
@@A.H.goose1ik bro is so triggered by an opinion 😂 like come on, does it matter at the end of the day? Let others have different opinions no matter how controversial they are.
Counterpoint; DCAU Batman got with Batgirl for some reason
Batclaw in predator sections in Asylum is NolanVerse to me. In all of the time I used it, the enemies where pulled down from the edge for sure. Sometimes in City and Origins they refuse to fall, but in Asylum (at least for me) they fall 100% of the time
Also, there's the absolute broken ultra batclaw
I think the explosive gel deserves to be up at least one more tier just because of how iconic it is to the series (also in predator rooms there’s often a few guys that are just standing on guard, so if you sneak up behind them you can spray the explosive gel behind a few guys and detonated the moment they realize you’re taking out their teammates. For example if you take out three guys and the Arkham knight tells them, you can take out three more guys before they can even react)
I think just the simple fact that Batman, a serious character feels the need to draw a bat symbol with the gel is the funniest shit ever.
I don't think the gadget would be anywhere as iconic as it is without that detail.
This is going to be a Definitive Batman Arkham Gadget Tier List.
Tier list names are crazy
Joker has 3 gadgets :
Gun
X ray specs
And the teeth bomb
Gun goes in mid tier as it only has one bullet and you have to have VERY precise aim but it is a 1-hit kill like red hoods guns it also attracts guards to your location which is ass
X ray specs also goes in mid tier as its basically like detective mode but you cant move and your in 1st person
The teeth bomb is SOLID S TIER that thing is OP its basically explosive gel but you can control how it moves,when it explodes etc. it also has INFINITE USES and insta kills people, which is nice .the only downside is that it has a time limit before it automatically blows up
This is all for predator sections btw because all of the gadgets are very hard to use considering you cant move when using teeth and specs and you will probably miss your shot with the gun so for combat:
Gun: SSKTJL tier
Specs: useless
Teeth: useless
I hoped this helped. I wish you all the best in life!❤😊
Breaking ceiling windows with the RcB and watching guys fall through the glass is funny af
Ok hear me out here.
I love the line launcher for predator sections, especially in City.
I do think it's offensive capabilities are dogshit. But it's other function of being able to climb on the rope is something I use constantly regardless if it's actually beneficial or not. Gargoyles are cool, but setting up a rope line across a room let's me position myself better while looking cool asf.
It shines tremendously during free roam stealth on Arkham City as usually you have to do your stealth boots on the ground or move between roofs due to lack of gargoyles, so using the line launcher as an alternative makes things super fun.
Tho yet again it does still have it's hiccups like the gadget being very strict about where and when it can be used, you need to stand upright at a high platform for you to be able to use it so that automatically makes it a bit janky on certain rooms.
I disagree with the explosive gel in predator because in knight, there is an upgrade for instant takedowns without weak walls so it makes it so useful for prep time since you can place it behind enemies who are standing still and then detonate it after you introduce yourself!
Awesome vid bro❤
I like this video. I have a few issues with it though that I think I’ll address in my own tierlist. Thanks for the inspo
I put the Concussion Detonator a little higher because of how helpful it is when fighting Copperhead and Firefly.
The disruptor from Knight deserved it's own tier above the rest. That thing is ridiculously overpowered even when compared to other OP gadgets
agreed
4:51 Despite the gadget sucking overall, I will give the Concussion Detonator props for how good it is during the Cobblehead bossfight. You take out so many of her clones at once in the later phases by just spamming this. It turns the fight into a complete joke to the point that on my latest New Game Plus run of Origins, I beat Cobblehead damageless.
That's the one genuine time where the Concussion detonator is useful throughout the entirety of Origins.
I love the tiers lmao
New PFP goes hard
8:10 there is another useful, albeit encounter specific use to the freeze grenade; it can take Riddler informants (or the Mind controlled cop in the final phase of the Knight Mad Hatter storybook fight) out of the fight without knocking them out, allowing for an easier time taking out their allies while leaving them concious, so you can interrogate them at the end of the fight.
My favourite gadget in all games is batarangs. They are always useful! In predator they set up easy ground takedowns and can be triple batarangs. Also they interact with fire extinguishers and red barrels. In combat they can get 3 ppl per throw and they get stunned for longer. Such a simple and incredibly useful from the beginning to the end.
Imo the disruptor is a huge S tier. Especially in stealth, the versatility of it is amazing.
I’m just saying if the ultra bat claw was on the list, it would be a solid S tier for sale just because you can pull three people off the ledge at once and even pull down fragile walls
Same, I pulled 3 guys into the abbys
That shrek meme for catwoman got you a new sub lol
My ideal weapons list: Batmobile; Arkham Knight Batarang mechanics with Escrima Stick ricochet capabilities; Arkham City/Origins Batclaw with the combined capabilities of the Line Launcher, Zip Kick, Remote Claw, and Snare Trap; Arkham Knight Explosive Gel with Snap Flash, Wrist Dart, and Sonic Batarang/Jack-in-the-Box capabilities, Arkham Knight Freeze Grenade capabilities like in Arkham Origins: Blackgate, and unlimited ammo and auto-aim like Red Hood's guns; Arkham Knight Disruptor mechanics with Arkham City Disruptor design and unlimited ammo like Red Hood's guns; Remote Electric Charge gun with Electrical Blast capabilities in predator sections; Remote Control Batarang (seriously, look at others' predator videos; I love how creatively each weapon can be used); Smoke Bombs with Kujiki Bomb capabilities when you enter the smoke; Cryptographic Sequencer with Batgirl gameplay mechanics; and Voice Synthesizer (and I guess each Robin can keep their signature weapons).
I actually loved the freeze blast grenade in City. You can use it at the start of a fight on armored, shield, and shock stick enemies(helps a lot in hard mode, especially ng+) to keep them out of the fight for the moment. Plus, with the freeflow gadgets upgrade that increases quickfire gadgets power, it freezes 3 enemies at once.
Granted, you could just REC gun the armored enemy then ground takedown animation cancel using the quickfire batclaw. Freeze blast comes in handy more often than not in ng+ on hard.
I almost forgot, you can also just freeze Riddler informants for a whole combat section so as to not accidentally take them out
A few notes:
-The Concussion Detonator can be used to instantly kill Copperhead clones and stun (?) Firefly. This changes nothing about it though.
-The Sonic Shock Batarang doesn't work in combat due to it only working on thugs with shock collars or heartbeat monitors. I think the same applies to the Voice Synth.
-The RCB's rating really depends on the game; Arkham Asylum and Arkham Knight it's a good tool to redirect attention at best, simply by hitting an enemy from the wrong direction. Arkham City and Origins, depending on the room, can wipe a room from a vantage point while leaving no trace of the location for enemies to find you.
-Line Launcher in Asylum is extremely useful, bordering on mandatory for Asylum's Extreme Rooms and the second predator in Inmate Transfer, due to Gargoyles being removed. This also sort of applies to the modifier in City/Origins for the campaign and custom challenges, but not to the same degree due to map design. Also this shouldn't affect it's rating.
Yeah, in some of City's extreme campaign maps for predator I've had these moments where I had managed the requirements for all medals, but didn't really have any retires or health left, and just being a coward sitting out of sight and remote-batarang-ing people off of ledges (with some practice, even over railings) just seemed like the safest way to secure a win
It’s weird Nightwing doesn’t have the disrupter in Arkham Knight since he gives it to you in the game, like what would he give away his only one?
In my opinion I would’ve put the remote control batarang on DCAU, or prolly the Nolanverse you can send thugs in the air or over the ledge and can send them unconscious on predator missions.
The line launcher is actually quite useful in predator sections because you can use it to create your own platform and set up a fear takedown against a large group of thugs. It is especially good in Endless Knight because it is one of the weapons that they never adapt to.
The explosive gel was overpowered as hell in city since you could chose when to detonate it, and then pair it with the multi ground takedown combo to wipe every enemy out at once.
The one redeeming factor of the rc baterang is the fact that you can modify it so Batman throws it like a normal baterang but backwards making enemies look in the opposite direction of you
I only really use the glue grenade if there’s like one armored guy who I want to be out of the way.
I very much loved the cryptographic sequencer in arkham asylum, there was something just satisfying about finding the green sinusoid and blowing up those terminals
Nice video
I don't think there is any Batman gadget that is truly useless, when you watch those old Arkham videos, you realize how useful these things are.
I noticed from my time trying to get to Killer Croc in the Iceberg Lounge that the only time the batclaw gives you immunity to closer opponents' attacks is when you're aiming for electrified enemies. The game recognizes that as the primary threat above all.
So for Joker's gadgets he has 3: Exploding Teeth, X-ray glasses, & a gun with 1 bullet. In following your tier list: X-ray glasses useless in combat & ass in predator maps its literally Detective mode at home; gun i'd say is in Snyder verse or ass for both the gun doesn't come up in combat except for like one enemy & in predator its only one shot instant kill but draws attention; exploding teeth doesn't really come up in combat but in predator mode top tier it can travel anywhere on the floor & be detonated anytime & one shots enemies in range
In my opinion the best is freeze blast
Fair
@@thegreatacolyt1277 reason is in Arkham knight you can freeze blast and a split second in predator it’s a instant take down
@@Intheshadowswewatch ah
I like to use the RCB's reverse batarang function as a distraction, and to make them think I'm coming from a different direction, so i actually rely on it pretty heavily for predator challenges
So I have a unique perspective on some of the combat gadgets, I played the hell out of the challenge maps and eventually found myself getting top 25 scores so my views on some are definitely from a different view of how much mileage I can get out of something to reach that next rank on the leaderboard. To do this I had to adopt some unique techniques with the gadgets that can be viewed as useless:
Concussion Detonator - A lot of its criticism is warranted but it's low damage and making enemies spin in a circle hitting each other actually gave you points when they hit each other(especially when used with the bat swarm), a lot of points at high combo levels, and enemies can't knock themselves out easily. This is very ideal for building up points really easily. Group them up with evades and toss one in the middle and profit. Also nice during the game for screwing with combat waves that feature guns in play and you don't have ability to break the gun unlocked or built up yet. Predator maps, I used it to set up mutli-person clearing explosive gel takedowns, hit someone with it and cause people to come over and look and when they group up take them all out with the preset Explosive Gelled wall
Distuptor (Arkham Knight) - Useless during combat due it being to slow and not intended for that usage but opening a combat encounter with strategic usage can actually end a fight literally the moment it starts both in combat challenges and in actually story mode. Nothing more cinematic and Batman like then smoke bombing into the middle of a group of enemies or checkpoint only to have them all explode a moment later when the smoke clears. Also pretty funny to take on a group of tanks with Batman on foot using this, while on paper sounds like playing Russian Roulette with a fully loaded Revolver, is actually the fastest way to destroy the toughest of tanks that can only be damaged from behind (I forget the name but they will explode instantly when they spot Batman when hit with the Disruptor)
Explosive Gel (Asylem and City) - While it had no s, the animation was useful for small groups; use the animation to dodge out of the way while laying a trap blowing it up and sneaking in a free ground pound, very profitable at high combos. Timing was tight but when mastered it was a very checky way to squeak out an extra ten or twenty thousand
Explosive Gel (Knight) - Same as Concussion Detonator and just as useful, arguably more so given the increase in the volume of enemies. When opening fights from a glide and using it in this manner it was nice for disabling a few to give you time alone with a Brute
Freeze Grenade - Nice for holding a Brute until the end of the challenge while focusing on getting your combo up as high as possible, then use a beatdown to squeak out an extra 15 or so hits before hitting a takedown, maximum points. Also nice if there is a particular enemy you need to save for last such as an informant, useful for me as my brain outside of challenge maps tends to go on auto-pilot at this point while playing an Arkham game and I have leveled so many informants its not even funny and seeing icy blue man tells my brain not to hit it until the end (like I do in challenge maps)
Batclaw - You do actually go forward a bit when using the quickfire version if Batman has the clearance to do so and with good timing can give you enough space to avoid some moves. In Knight with the focus mode active, using this will cause a gigantic AoE bat swarm like effect that will KO a Brute instantly nice if your fighting two of them.
Remote Claw - While high risk, it is high reward, at high combos and if an propane tank is on the field, you can hook the propane tank to a group to level all of them and get in about 2 or 3 ground pounds. Again high risk but high reward when each ground pound in a high combo can net you 10K
Line Launcher - I got tons of mileage out of it in the Extreme versions of Combat maps, knock everyone down and go for easy uncontested ground pounds when your combo is high enough. Predator maps as well to make my own vantage points when enemies are looking at gargoyles which was frequent on Extreme.
RCB - Asylum it was a tool and left a lot to be desired in combat, City and beyond it was broken, don't even have to move to wipe out an entire room. In Knight I started hitting people like it was an uppercut and this gave it while boosted enough force to knock people over railings. Easily my preferred Predator tool
Adam Sandler is an incredible actor
The RCB is actually really useful on certain predator mode scenarios for one single motive, the reverse batarang. While I can admit that it's very niche it's a pseudo mini stun on 2 or 3 enemies that can give you an opening to attack.
Concussion Detonator helps in both the copperhead and firefly bossfights making them so much easier than they already were
Fun Fact: Catwoman can quickfire disarm with her whip with the quickfire batclaw input
Nobody talkin about deathstroke
There is in TH-cam video 24 frame in 1 second (not 60). I hope this is clearer for some.
I love the remote hacking device in the Twoface challenges ngl
explosive gel was crazy cracked in city combat
Watching Batman get more beat up while successfully landing the gadget had me dying of laughter 🤣🤣
damn GP is roasting everybody in this video for no reason
One thing I have to disagree with is Batclaw's placement in combat. Batclaw should be in the S tier for a few reasons. Even though you might get hit when using the batclaw, once you get to the second animation (slamming enemies to the ground), it will cancel other enemies actions, which will give you some breathing room. This is a huge buff in AK because AC and AO don't have this feature. You will get hit regardless of which animation you are in. You don't want to use the batclaw on regular enemies because you are still vulnerable in the first animation. Always use the batclaw on electrified enemies; this will immediately cancel other enemies actions. You are completely safe throughout the animation, and no enemies can approach you. The best upgrade for the Batclaw is the Batclaw Combat Takedown. This is one of the few takedowns that can completely knock out an armoured brute with one takedown, while you usually need two takedowns against an armoured brute.
in arkham knight i think you can one shot people with explosive gel with upgrades, so if you smash takedown someone spray gel and flee, they will find the body then you can detonate
You can actually use the Batmobile in some story based predator sections like the computer guards at ace or the clock tower
We need Batman Arkham esports
The batclaw in asylum is even more broken than city and origins. It can pull 3 guys off a ledge at once
The explosive gel is really OP in City and Origins if you use it in Focus mode. It knocks down almost every enemy for a long period of time and can be combined with the multi-takedown to win fights instantly.
Also, the Bolas keeps causing me to drop my combo whenever I quickfire it in City, so I'm gonna have to put it in dogshit tier for that reason.
Was about to comment the same for the explosive gel. I got like 15 multi-takedowns with it once, it was so stupid my game lagged
13:40 there is actually at least 1 encounter where you can use the batmobile in a predator section; in the first Penguin Gun Cache, if you position the batmobile at the top of the multistorey car park where you need to be to take out the militia ambush after you leave, you can pick off a few thugs, however when you start, they will immediately take cover and won't leave until you're out of the car. I'm not sure how many other encounters take place where you can get a line of sight with the tank. It'd still be fairly bad, since they do take cover and it is an extremely limited number of encounters where it can be used, but it isn't quite useless.
As an aside, if you do use the Batmobile for that Gun Cache, when you get back outside it is back on street level and you have to drive up throught the carpark again for no reasons.
Sometimes I let enemies grab guns in combat encounters because you can use the REC gun to make them fire at the air distracting the enemies. Or you can quick drop a smoke bomb on the enemies.
Did I just saw batman dancing bro how do you do that?!
Bro, you forgot the freeze cluster grenade. Freezes an entire groups feet, making it perfect for combat imo
Havent wacthed the vid yet, but baterang better be in S tier in all categories.
It wasn't.
In predator sections I use explosive gel a LOT.
1. Take out thug
2. Spray gel immediately after
3. If you have proxy explosion you’ll hear it go off, you can go tk that location and take out the other thug it just knocked out, then lay another one.
4. If not you can lure thugs towards the gel or just wait for them to go near it (works well against the suicide collar thugs ke any that alert the rest of their group when they’re taken out). Then manually make it explode.
Basically anytime I take out a thug and there’s not another one immediately nearby to take out I leave explosive gel on the floor next to said thug.
Also use it heat and there in combat. Just quick fire it, then go back to fighting while herding the thugs to the gel and/or using it as a shield where I stand so the gel is between me and other thugs.
Not saying it’s Nolan tier or anything, just that it’s significantly better than you said it was. Like the problem you said about it being tricky in combat because of button combinations and it throwing off the combat is a skill issue and kinda silly when you don’t bring up the same thing for batclaw and rec gun.
smoke bombs are S tier in combat if you know how to use them. For later waves when you have a combo of 100+ using smoke bombs is key as the npcs will not really go after u and will make it way easier to not get hit
I can’t believe he put disrupter in mid unless he changes it later
RCB is great in AR predator challenges you can boost it and throw enemies of ledges or across the entire map it breaks the physics and can knockout the enemy by slamming them into the ceiling at light speed
Batclaw was even more broken in Asylum, you could pull 3 guys down at once.
I would argue about the remote hacking device as it works with the voice synthesiser to get spectacular results
the batclaw had invincibility frames in arkham knight that allowed u to continuously spam it without being hit, I would actually put it up in Nolanverse if this applied in all games for combat
Long Rant, there is a TLDR:
There's no way you put RE Batarang that low for Predator. Genuinely one of the best Predator gadgets unironically. If you have a thug who's near, like, a staircase going downwards or a slope or anything, and hit them with the REB at full force they go flying down the staircase and fall to being knocked out. In fact you don't even need a staircase going down, if you angle the REB correctly you can fling anyone high enough so that they fall to being unconscious, doesn't matter the floor elevation. Even on a completely flat floor you can do this, it's super fucking broken. Literally, no joke, free takedowns. And synergises beautifully with the Freeze Grenades so you can pin a guy in place to hit them with the REB at the perfect angle/direction without having to time it and deal with the thug moving. You can literally just perch up on a vantage point and kill everyone with the REB with zero risk whatsoever. You don't need to move around or get close to enemies. Unless you're stupid the thugs will never find you. If you don't like to play scummily and you're smart with it, you can casually kill someone from one side of the map while you're doing something else entirely on the opposite side. Like you just loudly knocked out a thug, others hear you and come to your location. Quickly whip out your REB and knock someone down the stairway. Thugs may even change course and check out that thug instead. That's what you use the REB for in Predator. Not whatever the hell you were doing. The only downside is that when you're using it you're locked in until either the REB breaks, hits someone, or is too far away from Batman so if you're caught while using the REB you're fucked. Otherwise, absolutely insane gadget. Again, if you play scummily, you can literally cheese every single Predator Encounter with this thing and knock out everyone while literally standing still perched on the vantage point you started in. Once again, you don't even need a stairwell, that's just a crutch you can also very easily pull off the launch-and-fall trick on a flat terrain. And if you don't you can still do some really neat tricks with it. Can also be used as a way to gain information when there's a Detective Mode Jammer in a very hard to access spot even just to REC his ass, but I'll be honest that's very niche. Regardless, nah fam you're sleeping on the REB, absolutely busted gadget. Hard carries late-game Endless Knight.
TLDR: REB good. Can literally kill people for free if you angle the REB correctly, or there's a stairway nearby. Can cheese and take out entire Predator Rooms on it's own without you having to even move. Synergises disgusting well with Freeze Grenades. Nolanverse Tier.
Also side note: Don't use Fear Takedowns in Smoke Bombs. Waste of a fear takedown, no need for speed when no one can see you anyways. Do normal instant takedowns in smoke bomb, save fear takedown for later. Use Smoke Bombs like a secondary, safer fear takedown substitute that passively recharges. Use it when there's larger crowds surrounding your target group of enemies who would likely kill you immediately if you did a normal fear takedown, using normal takedowns as a knockout method instead of fear.
at least he mentioned joker and DeathStroke but Azrael was done dirty
I would've put remote batarang higher for robin, robins arkham city extreme predator maps are so much easier due to its exisistance, end of the line, meltdown mayhem, lost city and top of the world are all way easier to complete with the remote batarang. Its also insanely useful on natural selection in order to make getting the hard medal for that map more consistent.
I LOVE having gadgets in Batman Arkham!😊
For being a definitive gadget ranking putting explosive gel, or batclaw from Knight, on the same level as them in Asylum is gross simplification
The Sonic Batarang should be Nolanverse tier solely because it attracts enemies for unlimited usage as long as you don't detonate it. Takes a solid minute or two to recharge, but still makes takedowns easier. Godly gadget.
Also, the only real use for the Concussion Detonator is for Copperhead & Firefly. Not practical for standard combat or predator whatsoever.
The explosive gel is broken when u realize u can takedown enemy and use the body as a bait when other check on him plus they can't see explosive gel when spray it under the body so they don't shot it i do it every time and it works
yeah but the concussion detonator is a fun way to scare your enemies.
i like to scare the last guy before going in
The Rec gun can also disarm enemies on some maps
Rip Kevin Wayne 😢
18:44 bro was getting down in the smoke
Id like to make the argument for RCB being S tier in stealth - Get enemies on the top of stairways and hit them down it for free takedown (also max speed RCB makes them fly and its funny)
The concussion dednatoer it's has one use to defend copperhead with one shot
you forgot how the remote batarang in asylum could down multiple thugs without breaking
If you're fast enough, you can use the disruptor in combat.
Dude fym rcb is dogshit in predator sections!? I use it all the time. It’s good for (like you said) pushing people off ledges, if there is a guy you can’t reach or is in a tight space and you don’t want to go down and risk getting caught, it’s good for that. Probably the thing I use it most for is scouting out the area safely. It’s fucking amazing
I think you didn't give the sonic it's proper credit. While the shock aspect is nice, you can also use it to lure enemies into traps. You said for the voice synth that you don't want to wait around, using the sonic helps lure them directly to where you want. Or it can break someone away from a larger group. The gadget can synergies with freeze mines, explosive gel, even the bat claw. I think it's pretty helpful.
The freeze blast deserves to be higher. You can just completely take a big guy or a guy with an annoying weapon you don't want to deal with completely out of the fight by pressing one button. Also, the REC gun can make big guys swing around and knock their friends over, he didn't mention that. The claw and I think Robin's shield bash can force an enemy to immediately drop their weapon, so you can take away their annoying stun stick with one button.
As for stealth, I think he's sleeping on the batarangs a little. You can use it to take down 2 guys, because you can knock one down, take down the standing guys, and then go finish the one on the ground. The remote controlled one can trick them into thinking you're somewhere you aren't too. You can knock somebody over, and his buddies will turn away from you where they think it came from. Not amazing, but slightly more useful than he thinks. The freeze blast's mine version lets you not worry about being spotted or making noise, because the guy who runs over to you first is going to be frozen. It allows you to be unsafe and not suffer for it. Same goes for Catwoman's caltrops, but they aren't frozen, they just fall down. I think if they're running to your location, they won't see them and kick them out of the way, so you need to let them see you or make a loud noise.
My Ranking for the Joker's Gadgets:
Bare in mind, Quickfire Gadgets are an Arkham City and beyond feature, Gadgets in Combat ultimately get a lower tier.
Chatter Teeth: F Tier Combat Gadget, A Tier Predator Gadget. It's an Explosive Gel that is remotely controlled on the ground, (though, I vaguely remember it being able to insta-takedown enemies if it's close enough or in the right spot.) Not the best item in Arkham series, but out of Joker's three gadgets, it's the best he's got.
Gun: C Tier Combat and Predator Gadget. The Gramdfather to Red Hood's guns, but balanced. You have a single shot loaded in that pistol, and once it's gone it's gone for the whole challenge. Use Wisely. The good news is you *have* to aim it, and it locks on like a Batarang, since there's no Quickfire at all in Asylum.
X-Ray Specs: F-Tier Combat, C-Tier Predator Gadget. It's Batman's Detective Vision, but a Gadget. As the Joker, you can't activate Detective Vision (or any equivalent) like normal, so instead you use it like a gadget. While using it, you have to stand still, so it's really only good for when your hidden on the map. Not in grates, since you can't use gadgets in grates, and not on Gargoyles, since Joker can't grapple (or Parkour). Pointless to use in Combat, even if Quickfire was a thing.
i have used rangs only when i had to against certain enemies and bosess, other then that i only used disabling gun thingy i knight and batclaw in all 4 games cause it could take away some weapons, huge majority of combat was just beating them to (almost) death
8:30 As an Arkham fan and as an epileptic, that was funny.
you can use the reverse remote batarang to drop a thug and distract another thug to the opposite direction you threw it
Has anyone else noticed that Gothampaladin & the atomsmith sound almost exactly alike
I mean, Asylum has great versions of the basic tools for predator challenges. For example the batclaw.
the only time I've used disruptor during combat is on the iceberg lounge map. at the start of the challenge, throw a smoke bomb and sabotage all weapon crates, so thugs won't pick up guns later on. other than that it's useless
I never thought of that before. Thanks for the new idea m8.
how did you call concussion detanator trash and explosive gel in arkham knight good when they are the same thing
