I love that they made Alfred an actual character in this game, something I missed with the other Arkham games. Perhaps my favorite and most memorable bits of his dialogue is that randomly at any point after you raid the GCPD and get access to the National Criminal Database, Alfred will call Batman on his comms and say "Its midnight sir, just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas." "You too." Just one of those quick dialogue quips that really reminded me (and by extension, Batman) that I still have someone back home who cares for me. Idk but it was a touching moment imo
exactly what I was thinking, i guess the worst underdelivering of arkham knight is not giving us a proper batcave with alfred in it where bruce can take of the mask and suit and be a real human a bit.
I love how Batman roasts Alfred for his fear over the King Bat. People often forget that Batman has his own special sense of humor. He doesn't just brood.
@@absoluteecho6152 Batman (Bruce) looks up to Alfred as both his best friend, greatest ally and surrogate father, in a way, he’s like Bruce’s only light in the world. So, it’s kinda like Alfred is Batman’s ‘Batman’, a saviour of sorts.
I'm beginning to believe Alfred Pennyworth was based on Christopher Lee. He was a secret agent in WW2, then became a prolific actor, released a symphonic metal album in his 80s, and was knighted. I sense an inspiration. Funnily enough, the guy was a cousin of Ian Fleming, and served as one of the inspirations for James Bond, as well as being a lifelong friend of J.R.R. Tolkien.
These interactions and the fact the Batcave is in this game are reasons I think Origins is criminally underrated. Say what you will about the glitches, but I only ever encountered those a handful of times since the final patch. If you hated it when it was released (I disliked it admittedly), go give it another chance.
+Spiral Out I love Origins myself. My only gripe is that the "Worst Nightmare" challenge could have been handled better, allowing you opportunities to finish them after the story. Everything else is fine IMO.
I agree with that. And I think now that fans have been pretty divided on Arkham Knight (I loved the story mode, but mixed about the season pass stuff so far), maybe people will go back to Origins.
I actually prefer Origins over AC for many reasons. Origins has a darker tone and darker themes which is more accurate to Batman, while AA and AC did provide dark themes compared to the TV show, it is still very cartoony. Origins finally gave Batman armor and got rid of those crappy suits with underwear from AA and AC, because you know it's the 21st century and Batman goes up against criminals with machine guns and also a 40 year old man dressing like a Bat is one thing but it is not the 1960s and this is not a cartoon for 5 year olds, no more underwear for the Batsuit....looking at you Rocksteady. Also in Origins the criminals don't really believe Batman exist or if he is even a man or a creature but then when Batman shows up .....they $h!+ their pants, they are terrified of Batman and this is how it supposed to be. In AC the criminals mock Batman and are no longer really afraid of him, yes some run but most of them mock Batman. I love all these games, but replaying all of them the last couple weeks, Origins is the best IMO. I will never play Arkham Knight, the game looks beautiful and I hear combat is a lot of fun but the story is garbage, it is the single worst possible ending for Batman ever, the only way Batman could have a worse ending is being tag teamed by all the villains and then murdered. Was AK an original ending? Yes. Does that make it good? No. I honestly think Rocksteady just got tired of Batman and since they already killed Joker, they decided to totally cop-out and kill the Bat. Weak sauce. WB Monteral understands Batman better and I am looking forward to their upcoming sequel to Origins.
Damn, they were foreshadowing a lot of things in their talks. So many things that happen in the other games and the mention of other peoples. I'm glad they did this in the game.
That last conversation about Thomas Elliot was kinda spooky , dunno if that was his beginning of a downward spiral into becoming Hush or if he was hoping to just snatch Bruce's face
Thomas Elliot always was a sociopath since he tried to kill his own parents as a child and only half failed because Bruce's Father saved Mrs. Elliot's life
Yump Bagle Since Kirk Langstrom didn't become Man Bat until shortly before Arkham Knight and Origins is set 12 years before Knight the giant bat in the cave was probably one of Kirk's bat test subjects while he was still researching the echolocation ability of bats that helps them navigate in the dark and trying to find out how to apply it to humans so he could cure his own deafness. So the King Bat Alfred talks about is probably one Langstrom experimented on which grew to gigantic size and found its way into the Batcave probably while hunting. It's also a reference to a storyline in the comics where Man Bat himself briefly roosted in the Batcave.
We never actually see bats unless u count the cutscene at the very beginning, in the batcave when youre just chilling u don't see any bats but u can hear them
You know what would've been kinda neat? If Alfred's 'King Bat' situation turned into a secret Man-Bat boss fight you only get to do if you talk to Alfred enough, or if you get all his dialogues.
I love how Batman talks about capturing the King Bat to either make him sidekick or his mascot. Hilarious. This Batman has no right on killing me with humor
I really like how the last conversation connects with Arkham City, referencing Thomas Elliot as Hush, performing surgery on the twins that would lead one to work with The Joker and one with The Penguin.
was the "large bat" a reference to Man-Bat? I know in Arkham canon he isn't created for another 10 years, but I think it's a reference to his first (technically second) appearance in the comics when he broke into the batcave.
the one about Elliot is about the twins in A city. sickle and hammer. he had surgecly separated them. my gess is them, croc and the circis/carnival equipment in gothum royal all came from the same place. as in an Arkham city comic hush seperates them for joker.
If this "King Bat" is actually Man-Bat then he's been around since before joker died, before Arkham City was built, and before Scarecrow's attack on gotham
There is one where they talk about Deathstroke getting the drop on Batman, and another talking about the Mad Hatter. Those are the only two I encountered that were not in this video.
the second clip. was that Alfred talking about Man-Bat?! was Man-Bat somehow just chillin in the Batcave. if that’s the case then that’s a huge continuity error because Man-Bat didn’t show up till Arkham Knight
Everyone needs an Alfred in their lives.
That and Uncle Iroh.
SO MUCH WISDOM.
True an Alfred or Uncle Iroh would be pretty cool to have.
Yes. An uncle ruckus wouldnt be too bad either
I totally agree.......but thats why we have parents, but a butler would be awesome

The Batcave and Alfred as an interactive character should have been in Arkham Knight too so much.
It’s really nice to see out of all of Bruce’s seriousness of the job he still finds time to be young
It’s because he’s a young Batman in this though

I love seeing Bruce or Batman converse with Alfred. I come back to listen to these conversations, they are a joy to hear.
I feel Batman has to fight the urge to burst out laughing every time Alfred talks about the King Bat.
I personally really enjoyed the little “Megabat” storyline they had going here
Same here.

Seriously, Arkham Origins rocks! 😁
It's been almost 9 years and we haven't gotten a spin-off game of Alfred discovering the species the King-Bat belonged to. I'm: disappointed
I feel somewhat disappointed by that as well.
I love how Batman talks about capturing the King Bat to either make him sidekick or his mascot. Hilarious. This Batman has no right on killing me with humor

There was a dialogue where they talk about Deathstroke
In the corner, it's actually referred to as "Alfred's Wisdom". The fact that the title says "Talks with Alfred" slightly bothers me
Thomas Elliot? The famous surgeon? From what I heard, he and you used to be friends.

I think it only triggers after you use the training area, when Alfred moves down a level to be closer to you.
i think you missed the one about barbara.
He mentions Barb?
when does Alfred reveal Enigma's name? after you find everything? after taking down the relays? or unlocking all travel points?
I think when you collect more of the data packs or all of them.
After destroying network relays all across Gotham and smashing the relay box.
Can we all agree that Alfred is the best Boomer ever?
I wonder what happened with the King Bat
When Alfred talk about this "giant bat" he isn't talking about an actual bat was he?
He talks about that first bat wich appears on the beggining in the intro cinematic
