I find it kind of funny how the Black Mask Joker twist has traumatised so many DC fans that we're afraid Joker is secretly every new villain. I remember I thought that the Court could have secretly been controlled by the Joker at one point during the Gotham Knights leadup. Yes really
The story sounds amazing! I would definitely play that game if it was made. Personally, i think they should make games for each member of the Bat Family still centered in Rocksteady's Batman universe like a Nightwing game, a Red Hood game, a Red Robin game, a Catwoman game, even for characters that haven't appeared before like a Batwoman game.
a reputation system like that of Fallout would be nice, balance being liked by the GCPD to unlock special raids or something, instill fear in different gangs to gain damage boosts and new interrogations? anything that isnt a fucking VR game 🙂
Me honestly I would love a game in between origins and asylum called Arkham Anarky. I think I would love that this game combined the maps from the other previous titles. I also feel like this game could maybe take a deeper look at the villains like two-face, clayface, and etc. to flesh out their backstories and to give us more sympathy on why they are villains. I also feel like it would be cool to have the game start out like origins and to have the Anarky cause a huge breakout at the asylum and that the characters would start there but then transition to other places in Gotham. I also agree that there should be less joker but I think they should still try to include but instead be more like a calendar man from long Halloween.
Arkham shadow is close enough. We will see the origin of scarecrow, harley quinn, and twoface. It takes place between origins and asylum and ratcatcher has caused a breakout of sorts. The map is a part of gotham at a scale more like asylum.
Personally loved Gotham Nights, it felt like a love letter to those people that liked Batman because they loved the Robins. It felt so accurate to the headcannons we all made about the Bat-Fam because we rarely saw them all together. Batman to me is so much more than one single-caped crusader, and I feel like that's what made Bruce Wayne so human was the fact he couldn't do it alone. On another note I'm getting tired of seeing Dick Grayson as Robin, Yes he is the boy wonder but there are others and some having more of that Robin spunk. In my opinion Tim Drake is the best Robin. The charecter just seems to scratch that itch in the back of my brain when reading comics, and its sad how little we get to see him outside of comics. (for the love of god damian got a movie with jon, ily damian but god dammit.) In short let Dick be Nightwing, it truly feels like that's what the characters role is meant to be, just how Jason was never a good Robin but proved a point and then became an amazing anit-villian.
I don't play or really enjoy any AAA's at this point. So the only way they are getting my money/attention for a Batman game is if they greenlight an indie Metroidvania.
Cause they finished their trilogy The story is done What they should have done was move on with different hero’s A flash game, a robin/nightwing game, a Superman game, a wonder woman game But alas
More like why should they do another Arkham game? There is only that much you can do with same idea over and over. VR could bring some life, but i think it will be too similar to regular versions.
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868His red Robin costume from his 2009 solo series goes HARD. Kinda sad that now Tim is just Robin (which is weird cuz Damian already is Robin and is the official Robin from today, sidelining Tim) and wasn't allowed to grow like Dick and Jason with a new mantle and supporting cast (Dick with Blüdhaven, Jason with The Outlaws, Barbara becaming Oracle and being the connected with the Batfamily and Birds of Prey, etc.)
@@somerandolad Funny though he's actually written very well and accurate to how he's supposed to be written. Which makes the hair thing even more baffling. If he was an edgier Robin like Jason or Damien maybe it would make more sense.
Two Face would make a great villain for an Arkham Origins sequel because he was still Harvey Dent in the first game and the other games didn’t do much with him
Agreed! Superman is LONG OVERDUE for his own videogame with same level of passion, quality gameplay mechanics and compelling narrative as the Arkham games (minus SSKTJL) or the Insomniac Spiderman trilogy eo far with how well they incorporate the character of Spidermans powers, understand the character and gives us some of the best Spiderman stories today, and Superman as a character deserves that more than anyone if you ask me
This right here is the best way to go on as we know Green Arrow can do good cuz he did start the Arrowverse,or a blue beetle game if we going the underrated heroes route
@@Pokeblueblur Honestly, if Arhkam Batman teamed up with Green Arrow and Ted Kord Blue Bettle to save Justice Leage from Brainiac's control while Teen Titans are saving people in Metropolis that'd be awesome.
@@kendi5391 fr well imagine a teen titans spin off game after that you could play as beast boy!!!, robin, nightwing,etc like that's the only game I'd love to see other than the JL members

So I will quibble a bit on the idea that the Arkham series reinforces Bat-god “he doesn’t need anybody”. The main narrative of Arkham Origins is that Batman needs other people in order to succeed. And that in Arkham Knight, a few of the major challenges Batman faces is because he isn’t allowing other people to help him for fear that they’ll get hurt. Which winds up getting them hurt anyways. Great video though! I desperately want something in the Arkhamverse. Whether it be a new Arkham game, or a similar game for a different DC character, which is what I really want
But like the entire end of arkham knight is him abandoning everyone outside of Alfred and doing solo batman adventures. Basically reinforcing that he needs to work alone in the arkham verse which definetly supports batgod. I love arkham knight but it's, imo, what caused the whole batgod shit.
@@Elephantsaresupreme There’s no way Arkham Knight is what caused the batgod stuff. I mean around the same time Batman: Endgame released and in that comic Batman soloed the Justice League. There are other examples of comics, so I think blaming Arkham Knight for starting the batgod stuff is wrong.

@@Elephantsaresupreme City too! The whole crux of the ending is Selina saving him before Alfred and Oracle talk sense into him to stop Protocol 10. Tim saves him in the DLC too (thanklessly, classic Tim)
Troy, hear me out on this: A Green Arrow Arkham-style game. But it would be more long-ranged in terms of combat. You could have a customizable arrow quiver where you select 5-6 types of trick-arrows before gameplay. And as you complete missions, you unlock more variants which could work better for different enemy-types. Like brutes would be more sensitive to ice-arrows or explosive-arrows. And maybe you could only have a limited number of arrows and you had to be strategic in how you used each arrow. And after each encounter your quiver would “recharge” (Sorta like your health-bar in the Arkham games) There would of course be hand-to-hand combat and thwacking enemies with your bow but it would less effective.
I am literally begging for a new arkham game. I am such a big DC fan and yet I skipped SSKTJL And Gotham Knights which if you told 15 year old me. I woulda scoffed. I also loved Batgod era hahaha
Honestly, Gotham Knights is 100% worth playing. It's a slow start but if you just rush knighthood for your preferred character, it instantly becomes a really fun game and the story and character dynamics is easily enough to make it worth playing
I'm not mad that Arkham Shadow is a VR game because I really enjoyed Arkham VR for what it was. My main issue with it is that it's exclusive to a single headset.
@@jacobp249 That's true but it doesn't make the way meta does exclusives any less frustrating, especially with how often they've been releasing updated quest models that basically do nothing new from the old ones and make new games unable to be played on the old ones just to make you buy the new one
I NEED more superhero games where the world reacts to the kind of hero that you choose to be. Give me a Hulk game where the Avengers try to stop me if I cause too much damage, or a Captain America game where if you go rogue against the government they try to replace you with US Agent or something like that
I'd honestly just prefer a batfamily game by rocksteady. Gotham Knights is way better than a lot of people give it credit for, but it did obviously lack a lot of important things to make it a worthy 'batman' game. A batfam game in the style of the arkham games would be a DREAM. Honestly, my preferred setup would probably be having all the robins be the playable characters except jason, giving us Dick, Tim, Damian and Steph, with Babs as Oracle.
@@Kalel2.0 I think it looked fine, my main problem was just that everything felt like there was one extra step between every action that made everything feel clunkier. Gliding with barbara always felt just a bit slower than it should, took one extra move every time I wanted to gain speed, made everything just a bit more tedious than it needed to be. Switching between enemies in combat, using a heavy move vs a light move, getting onto the motorcycle, riding the motorcycle, everything was just the tiniest bit more tedious than what it should've been
Gotham Knights Court of Owls were botched, the villians plans were lame though liked the designs, and they had Batman murder the living cpurt of owls members via blowing them up.
The devs confirmed that Rat King is not rat catcher but he has a set of followers in the way that riddler did in the movie and that rat catcher is influenced by the rat king and takes on a similar identity to empower himself
Honestly I’m kinda glad that ratcatcher is getting some light he’s a coolish villain and a pre-mask scarecrow has always interested me Omg that guy looks like the riddler
I want a new Batman Arkham game but I want them to actually make Batman a character like in Origins instead of a brick with a frowny face like in all the other ones
I think a big problem I have with replaying the Arkham games is their whole stance of “It makes you feel like Batman.” That can be all good fun, but upon replaying any Arkham game, you realize that these games are like a rollercoaster with only one route to go down. In my dream Arkham game, instead of “being Batman” you have to “act like Batman.” The more you suck at being Batman, the harder the game will progressively become. Think of the game as a mashup of Metal Gear, Sifu, Dishonored and Shadow of War. The game would feature this turf war system, where villains react to your intervention as Batman. Some villains going on the defensive, they could team up, or they could take an opportunity to go on a heist while Batman is focusing his efforts elsewhere. A big part of the gameplay is the “prep time” stage. Villains will go on heists and it’s your job to prepare in advance. You’ll need to break into enemy bases, plant a bug to listen into their communications and prepare for their heists. If Batman’s interloping is discovered, the villains will improve their plans and make entering their bases much more difficult. I’d also feature a similar Resident Evil style inventory system. Batman won’t be able to carry all of his gadgets all at once, requiring the player to visit bat bunkers throughout the city, preparing their gear accordingly to their mission. Batman’s health and armor also won’t regenerate between fights, requiring the player to go to bat bunkers to get medical attention. Again, the game will get more difficult the worse you are as Batman.
Someone should create a game where you start out as "robin" (unknown) and then the way you play,options for combat,weapons,upgrades and even gameplay choices and then as the game develops you start growing more towards the known Robins either becoming one or having characteristics from multiple. It could work like ghosts of tsushima for example how your choices would make you become a samurai or ghost like becoming dick or jason (again for example) also that way costumes can be implemented and endgame you could unlock a batman suit specifically tailored towards each robin
For a court of owls based batman game, it would really be fun to have a system similar to Assassins Creed Odyssey's Cultist system where many of them appear as regular civilians and you can collect evidence to find out who they are before taking them down.
I don’t think we can do an Arkham Game without Kevin Conroy, I’d be interested to see a new line of games that could focus on a new Batman with new takes on these characters. And maybe focus on the relationship of Batman and Robin. Edit: And it turns out I should of watched the video before commenting, but I still think it would be fun for a reboot with new takes on the villains
I mean if you want Batman games to flesh out Batman and Robin amd with out Kevin Conroy just do Origins sequals with Roger and Troy Baker as Joker it would be basickly printing money.
And I really like watching those long form videos. I would love to hear your take on the Arkham trilogy, just one game or any long form video about anything
If we really need another Batman game just make it about Cass, pretty much everyone agrees shes the best candidate to take over after Bruce yet there hasnt been any kind of major media depicting that.
I am definitely in the minority, but I dont mind Shadow being VR. Sure, it's exclusive to the Quest 3, but I bought a ps5 just to play Spiderman, so the exclusivity doesn't bother me. Getting to be in the perspective of Batman is definitely worth the money for me. It probably also helps that I already have a quest 3.
I'm dying for a new Arkham game but anything post Knight would be so weird without Conroy now. I would most like to see a revival of that Arkham Beyond game, as Batman Beyond would work so well in this universe. Maybe Roger Craig Smith could respectfully pull off an older Bruce in that as hes great in Origins
Hey huge fan of your stuff! And no yeah absolutely, I think going either Beyond with Terry/Damian or doing an Arkham Origins 2 that's a sort of semi-reboot with Roger Craig Smith would be ideal, I've never really wanted to see anything post-Knight and it would feel wrong with Conroy.
I own a quest 2 currently. I want to play Wrath2(?) as I heard that's the biggest and best game on the system. VR games are getting bigger Wrath2 was described as Zelda breath of the wild VR. There's so much potential to how good Arkham Shadows can be. It's gameplay will actually determine if I get quest 3 or not as it's a better device. I'm happy for arkham series to die off no matter how good Shadows is
Batman's plaid out. Our best bet for a future batman game is Batman beyond, with Terry McGinnis, decanonizing suicide squad. But if Damion exists where Terry becomes batman, how would he react? Would we see a batman beyond vs the heretic?
I haven't played Sifu, but based off your explanation of its combat I feel like you'd like For Honor, it's got that same dodge mechanic but I'm not sure how much it'd scratch that itch otherwise
Yeah good fucking luck. We aren't getting a true Arkham game ever again. The creative leads have moved on, and Warner Brothers has buried the series 6 feet under a pile of shit.
I recommend giving the ps2 game GodHand a try it has a pretty unique combat system and it gets super difficult at times, but one of the worst things about it is that some Characters did not age well
one idea i’ve had for a different combat style for Batman is to get RGG Studios to make a Yakuza game with Batman in it, like how they made a Fist of the North Star game (actually have no idea if that game has Yakuza combat tbh) well, actually my idea is for them to make a Cassandra Cain in Hong Kong game. but that’ll never happen because we just neeeeddddddd a game with Barbara, Dick, Jason, and Tim again!!!!
I've said it before and I'll say it till the end if time, they could have just done Batman Beyond Arkham, bring Will Friedle back as Terry McGinnis, let Conroy do old man Bruce one last time, pass the torch. Easy 15 million units sold. WB are run by morons.
Rather than the court, I'd quite like to see something like the Children of Arkham from the Telltale game. A rising of disgruntled workers and poor people targeting Wayne and the other elites of Gotham. You could not only then include the asylum in the game, making it their HQ and letting players revisit the iconic map all these years later, but also have them challenge Batman's identity. Dick may even agree with the Children, based on his own upbringing in the circus, and this story could be why he ends up leaving to become Nightwing
I swear I really hope we get good DC games again because lately with Gotham Knights and SSKTJL failure, DC really needs a win when it comes to their videogames and it sucks that Arkham Shadow is a VR game because it legitimately looks cool and that has so much potential that could be far better utilitised without being a VR game. I truly hope we get better DC/Arkham games once again that truly have passion and dedicated love put into them on the same level of love as the previous Arkham games had, not just for Batman but for so many other incredible DC characters with so much potential to have their own video game without being a live service game or VR game. I am truly hoping Monoliths upcoming Wonder Woman game ends up being a hit🤞🙏
Just to let you know guys what Troy gets wrong is this video is that Rocksteady was never planned to make a Dark Knight video game, other game studios were and at the time EA were tied to doing it. You can find many videos on that all over TH-cam about it. Rocksteady was tied to make a superhero video game but when The Dark Knight games stopped being in development they got the green light to make a Batman game. I hope this helps👍🏻
I think it'd be cool to see riddler as the major antagonist of one of these games. I think it'd work even better in a prequel. Id love to see what a big full on main story worthy arkham riddler scheme is like.
10:24 maybe this is just me, but I wish I got to play that multiplayer, even if it meant being the random henchman that get easily taken down by Batman. Just the novelty of stepping into the shoes of one of the nameless henchman Batman stocks from the shadows and having a fight for my life against the seemingly unstoppable force of Batman sounds incredibly fun
I haven't had the chance to play Sifu yet because my PS4 broke 3 years ago and my laptop is too bad to run any games, so I'll need a PC before I can ever try it, BUT from what I saw it is practically a Spiritual Successor to the Capcom PS2 game "God Hand" I can highly recommend you giving that game a shot, although Sifu does seem to iterate on it in a couple smart ways and make dealing with multiple enemies at once a lot more fair and comfortable
instead of another batman arkham game, id prefer some games for other dc characters. superman, wonder woman, flash, green lantern. then a JL game and batman+robin can be in that
I would absolutely watch you breaking down the Arkham games, also only 4 minutes in so I don’t know if you mention this, but you writing a potential Arkham sequel/ spin-off would also be awesome
hey that guy kind of looks like the riddler
I was just about to say “Is that guy Jim Carrey?”

The devs confirmed that Rat King is not rat catcher but he has a set of followers in the way that riddler did in the movie and that rat catcher is influenced by the rat king and takes on a similar identity to empower himself
Gunn has said that in his new Universe there will be cannon games and im here for it.
Idk if it'll be connected to the Arkham series, but I can't to see what's instored with the DCU.
@@davidchittick6783 probably not connected to the arkhamverse lol
Honestly I’m kinda glad that ratcatcher is getting some light he’s a coolish villain and a pre-mask scarecrow has always interested me
Omg that guy looks like the riddler
The devs of Arkham Shadow confirmed Ratcatcher was a devote follower of the Rat King, so they aren't the same
I want a new Batman Arkham game but I want them to actually make Batman a character like in Origins instead of a brick with a frowny face like in all the other ones
I would love to see u talk in depth bout the Arkham series. Also have u been seeing all the Superman set photos?
Long form arkham breakdowns please!!!!
I think a big problem I have with replaying the Arkham games is their whole stance of “It makes you feel like Batman.” That can be all good fun, but upon replaying any Arkham game, you realize that these games are like a rollercoaster with only one route to go down.
In my dream Arkham game, instead of “being Batman” you have to “act like Batman.” The more you suck at being Batman, the harder the game will progressively become.
Think of the game as a mashup of Metal Gear, Sifu, Dishonored and Shadow of War. The game would feature this turf war system, where villains react to your intervention as Batman. Some villains going on the defensive, they could team up, or they could take an opportunity to go on a heist while Batman is focusing his efforts elsewhere.
A big part of the gameplay is the “prep time” stage. Villains will go on heists and it’s your job to prepare in advance. You’ll need to break into enemy bases, plant a bug to listen into their communications and prepare for their heists. If Batman’s interloping is discovered, the villains will improve their plans and make entering their bases much more difficult.
I’d also feature a similar Resident Evil style inventory system. Batman won’t be able to carry all of his gadgets all at once, requiring the player to visit bat bunkers throughout the city, preparing their gear accordingly to their mission. Batman’s health and armor also won’t regenerate between fights, requiring the player to go to bat bunkers to get medical attention.
Again, the game will get more difficult the worse you are as Batman.
13:40 “AH AH HE SAID IT, HE SAID IT!”
I would love a long Arkham vid
PLEASE make that Arkham retrospective!!!
Someone should create a game where you start out as "robin" (unknown) and then the way you play,options for combat,weapons,upgrades and even gameplay choices and then as the game develops you start growing more towards the known Robins either becoming one or having characteristics from multiple. It could work like ghosts of tsushima for example how your choices would make you become a samurai or ghost like becoming dick or jason (again for example) also that way costumes can be implemented and endgame you could unlock a batman suit specifically tailored towards each robin
Please do make a super long arkham retrospective
For a court of owls based batman game, it would really be fun to have a system similar to Assassins Creed Odyssey's Cultist system where many of them appear as regular civilians and you can collect evidence to find out who they are before taking them down.
I don’t think we can do an Arkham Game without Kevin Conroy, I’d be interested to see a new line of games that could focus on a new Batman with new takes on these characters. And maybe focus on the relationship of Batman and Robin.
Edit: And it turns out I should of watched the video before commenting, but I still think it would be fun for a reboot with new takes on the villains
I mean if you want Batman games to flesh out Batman and Robin amd with out Kevin Conroy just do Origins sequals with Roger and Troy Baker as Joker it would be basickly printing money.
And I really like watching those long form videos. I would love to hear your take on the Arkham trilogy, just one game or any long form video about anything
I think a Batman 1966 game would be fun as a direct contrast to Arkham's series, its flaws have become too much to bear at this point.
If we really need another Batman game just make it about Cass, pretty much everyone agrees shes the best candidate to take over after Bruce yet there hasnt been any kind of major media depicting that.
Everyone wanted a Beyond Arkham game, the game Rocksteady was working on using Damian as Batman
I am definitely in the minority, but I dont mind Shadow being VR. Sure, it's exclusive to the Quest 3, but I bought a ps5 just to play Spiderman, so the exclusivity doesn't bother me. Getting to be in the perspective of Batman is definitely worth the money for me. It probably also helps that I already have a quest 3.
I'm dying for a new Arkham game but anything post Knight would be so weird without Conroy now. I would most like to see a revival of that Arkham Beyond game, as Batman Beyond would work so well in this universe. Maybe Roger Craig Smith could respectfully pull off an older Bruce in that as hes great in Origins
Hey huge fan of your stuff! And no yeah absolutely, I think going either Beyond with Terry/Damian or doing an Arkham Origins 2 that's a sort of semi-reboot with Roger Craig Smith would be ideal, I've never really wanted to see anything post-Knight and it would feel wrong with Conroy.
Rocksteady should make a TMNT game.
I always thought “Batman: Beyond Arkham” would be pretty cool, a game focused on Terry McGinnis.
WAIT YOU DIDN’T LIKE DEVIL MAY CRY?! WHATTT
I swear to GOD if I have to collect ONE MORE RIDDLER TROPHY I’m gonna end up in Arkham asylum
I own a quest 2 currently. I want to play Wrath2(?) as I heard that's the biggest and best game on the system. VR games are getting bigger Wrath2 was described as Zelda breath of the wild VR. There's so much potential to how good Arkham Shadows can be. It's gameplay will actually determine if I get quest 3 or not as it's a better device. I'm happy for arkham series to die off no matter how good Shadows is
Batman's plaid out. Our best bet for a future batman game is Batman beyond, with Terry McGinnis, decanonizing suicide squad. But if Damion exists where Terry becomes batman, how would he react? Would we see a batman beyond vs the heretic?
I haven't played Sifu, but based off your explanation of its combat I feel like you'd like For Honor, it's got that same dodge mechanic but I'm not sure how much it'd scratch that itch otherwise
Yeah good fucking luck. We aren't getting a true Arkham game ever again. The creative leads have moved on, and Warner Brothers has buried the series 6 feet under a pile of shit.
I recommend giving the ps2 game GodHand a try it has a pretty unique combat system and it gets super difficult at times, but one of the worst things about it is that some Characters did not age well
Just give me more Wally Wingert as the Riddler. His voice is the one I hear in my head for Riddler in the comics.
i think a cool thing they could do is when we are going through tutorials it could be batman teaching robin
one idea i’ve had for a different combat style for Batman is to get RGG Studios to make a Yakuza game with Batman in it, like how they made a Fist of the North Star game (actually have no idea if that game has Yakuza combat tbh)
well, actually my idea is for them to make a Cassandra Cain in Hong Kong game. but that’ll never happen because we just neeeeddddddd a game with Barbara, Dick, Jason, and Tim again!!!!
6:08 It is not at all a sequel to that dream sequence. It is a direct sequel to Arkham Origins, so open those arms back up
Just make a Green Arrow pre write already!
Jk, I love the videos. Make what you want to make
Plz Do A Prewrite For James Gunn's DCU Green Arrow As Everyone Wants It
yes please make an arkham retrospective would love to hear your thoughts on all the games😃
Okay complete coincidence but when I was thinking of making a vid as a "Battle for the cowl" Arkham game I called it Arkham Legacy too!
I've said it before and I'll say it till the end if time, they could have just done Batman Beyond Arkham, bring Will Friedle back as Terry McGinnis, let Conroy do old man Bruce one last time, pass the torch.
Easy 15 million units sold. WB are run by morons.
Da comic king is back baby he neva miss we're eating good today y'all
"Officer balls" truly the greatest line of all time
People who wanted to play the arkham vr game but have a quest 2
👇
All they gotta do is make a 2 player co op Batman and robin game
Court of owls would be cool but its way to early in the timeline for me
Rather than the court, I'd quite like to see something like the Children of Arkham from the Telltale game. A rising of disgruntled workers and poor people targeting Wayne and the other elites of Gotham. You could not only then include the asylum in the game, making it their HQ and letting players revisit the iconic map all these years later, but also have them challenge Batman's identity. Dick may even agree with the Children, based on his own upbringing in the circus, and this story could be why he ends up leaving to become Nightwing
I swear I really hope we get good DC games again because lately with Gotham Knights and SSKTJL failure, DC really needs a win when it comes to their videogames and it sucks that Arkham Shadow is a VR game because it legitimately looks cool and that has so much potential that could be far better utilitised without being a VR game. I truly hope we get better DC/Arkham games once again that truly have passion and dedicated love put into them on the same level of love as the previous Arkham games had, not just for Batman but for so many other incredible DC characters with so much potential to have their own video game without being a live service game or VR game. I am truly hoping Monoliths upcoming Wonder Woman game ends up being a hit🤞🙏
Please please please please please make the Arkham games retrospectives please
I would love a long Arkham retrospective fwiw
Plzzzzzz give us that Arkham Retrospective 😆😆
I would so love a batman Arkham retrospective from troyoboyo
Or WB should just get someone to make a Superman game
As a huge fan of hour-long videos on why a piece of art is cool, I'll be down if you did an Arkham retrospective series
Just to let you know guys what Troy gets wrong is this video is that Rocksteady was never planned to make a Dark Knight video game, other game studios were and at the time EA were tied to doing it. You can find many videos on that all over TH-cam about it. Rocksteady was tied to make a superhero video game but when The Dark Knight games stopped being in development they got the green light to make a Batman game. I hope this helps👍🏻
id love a retrospective of the old games!!!
Yeah I’d watch some in depth analyses of the Arkham games!
I think it'd be cool to see riddler as the major antagonist of one of these games. I think it'd work even better in a prequel. Id love to see what a big full on main story worthy arkham riddler scheme is like.
A Batman beyond game would be appreciated
Arkham shadow is a sequel to Arkham origins
I love the long videos! I have seen your msm2 review over 6 times
What I want to see in an Arkham game is Green Arrow and Black Canary. Instead of Batman and Catwoman. I want a Green Arrow & Black Canary game.
10:24 maybe this is just me, but I wish I got to play that multiplayer, even if it meant being the random henchman that get easily taken down by Batman. Just the novelty of stepping into the shoes of one of the nameless henchman Batman stocks from the shadows and having a fight for my life against the seemingly unstoppable force of Batman sounds incredibly fun
I would totally watch a super long arkham analysis
i would love to watch a lengthy arkham retrospective!!!!
I haven't had the chance to play Sifu yet because my PS4 broke 3 years ago and my laptop is too bad to run any games, so I'll need a PC before I can ever try it,
BUT
from what I saw it is practically a Spiritual Successor to the Capcom PS2 game "God Hand"
I can highly recommend you giving that game a shot, although Sifu does seem to iterate on it in a couple smart ways and make dealing with multiple enemies at once a lot more fair and comfortable
instead of another batman arkham game, id prefer some games for other dc characters. superman, wonder woman, flash, green lantern. then a JL game and batman+robin can be in that
I would watch that long Batman video man
I would absolutely watch you breaking down the Arkham games, also only 4 minutes in so I don’t know if you mention this, but you writing a potential Arkham sequel/ spin-off would also be awesome
this is me begging you to make a retrospective review of the arkham games where you go super in-depth!
Turn on Arkham is awesome this game sucks
the way you mentioned Batman's detective work and not mention BATMAN TELLTALE SERIES IS A CRIME
I’d love to see you review of the Arkham games!
Yes, we fucking love super long videos
Yes. It should be called "Arkham Beyond".
do the Arkham retrospectives!!! I’d watch them all
