    As for why Scarecrow use the big gas to the city where all the civillians has already gone is because Gothan is the epic center of the blast that will spread the gas into the entire coast or something like that. This was mentioned in Ace Chemical level when you reached the place where Scarecrow is working.
    It's quite the evil plan by giving hope that you're safe outside of gotham even though it's actually not.
    Arkham Knight has issues and tearing it apart is fun but Scarecrow plan is not one of the issues.

      Thank you for saying that lol, cause that was the whole thing right? When the Ace Chemicals worker Mark Cheung tells Batman that it’s much worse then Batman thinks, Scarecrow’s bomb is big enough to coat the entire East coast in fear toxin. Now you can see in the game that the Cloudburst doesn’t cover more than Gotham, I think the point That Scarecrow wanted to prove was that (albeit everyone present was a criminal or likely police/FDGC) the city would tear itself apart even with Batman present, and Batman believed that! Which (among other things) is why he surrendered to Scarecrow, he didn’t think he was worthy of being Gotham’s Savior if he couldn’t stop the fear toxin. Sure Scarecrow getting punched in the face by Gordon was a bit anticlimactic, The point was without Batman there is no hope, and true fear, is the absence of hope.

    • @yup7380
      @yup7380 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@thedidacthalo4167 Yup, that's why I love that Scarecrow just got punched like that, showing who he really is, a coward who used people's fear against them but unready to face his own.
      He seems untouchable until that finale where he is pretty much petrified after getting a taste of his own medicine.
      Arkham Knight is weird, it has probably the most flaws and yet it is my favorite and the one which story touched me the most.

    The whole “the blood shouldn’t change people into joker” thing….so it’s been observed that when someone gets an organ transplant they sometimes tend to take on some traits of the person the organ came from so it’s not far fetched for people to turn into joker when they got his blood could be his blood mutated especially after the titan injection. The human body is still fairly unknown things happen we don’t understand

      Kinda the same with Batman and even after he took the cure it’s clear remains deep within his blood and was activated by the fear toxin which amplified the dormant blood. I’m spit balling I don’t think it was ever explained but I don’t really think of it as ‘dumb’. Just my opinion

      I haven't played most of the games since I was a teenager but I agree. I do not consider myself good at games but Asylum I beat on hard, only having a little trouble with the Poison Ivy fight. City I only have beaten on normal but besides a few challenges wasn't super difficult. But Origins I seriously struggled with the final Bane fight. Oddly though it I 100% the story mode in that one faster than I did Asylum's (I've never 100% City or Knight)

    Apart from the over-reliance on the Batmobile I will never understand some of the Hate Arkham Knight gets. It was an incredible game, with by far the best map, best combat, best predator segments, and a great story. It introduced so many gameplay mechanics and improved on City in almost every way in my opinion (though I still love City's story the most). The side missions and DLC missions were also some of the best in the trilogy.... oh .. and the game still looks STUNNING now, 9 years later

    29:15 It's also worth noting that another piece of foreshadowing in this same cutscene is that, at the very beginning of it, the real Joker is in front of the fake Joker. They're just mimicking each other's movements to give off the illusion of a mirror being there. This is even more evident in the full cutscene when you pay attention to the bottom left-hand corner of the screen and see part of the real Joker's hair before the fake Joker drops down to fight Batman. It's difficult to notice, but it's there.

    2:01:05 personally I like the line here, I think it still makes sense. The original was a mantra to tell himself that scarecrow didn't have control over his mind and telling that to the joker in his mind feels like the same thing to me. Hopefully that makes sense.

    I agree that Origin's story is really good, and I liked the gameplay, but the side missions just bring it way down for me.
    On the flipside the side missions in Arkham Knight were great, especially the Season of Infamy, but I really didn't like the story, they did Jason Todd so dirty in this game, I mean seriously, they really thought they were fooling anyone calling the Arkham Knight a completely original character, bullshit, fans knew straight away who it was.

Honestly I don't want to life either anymore, so I'm pretty fucked up too but all I can say to you is:" I think the fact that you posted your problems in the commentsection of an 8 Month old Video that hasn't too many views either, tells me somehow that a little part of fighting is in you, a little part that doesn't want it's life end like this. Because I think you hope for wonders at this point, a Saint that is saving you and shit like that. I think that's why you posted here, you absolutely don't know what to do like you said and you are so frustrated with the situation that one of your last trys is to see if someone on this earth on the weirdest place imaginable gives a fuck about you and your story. And even if my comment doesn't let your friends split up and the girl jumping your cock instead of his, I hope it instead can somehow show you that even if I don't know you in RL, even if we probably are on different continents, even if we never meet, I give a shit about you because we are both depressed and even if this sounds emo but I think the pain connects me emotionally with you, if I read your comment I instantly could feel a glimpse of your Pain. Even if all what I wrote sounds weird and not true to you, I give a shit about you if It's true that you don't want to exist anymore. And all I can say is if there indeed is a little Part in you that still wants to Exist, Eat, Laughing, etc. please don't throw it away, please don't make that big decision too quick, please try everything else before because bro there is no coming back if you end yourself. And I hope you can come back from this, probably more than you think. I wish you the best man and if you want you can message me on your dark days, maybe I can take your loneliness from you a little.

    This may not have been what the video was about, but it is important. To have eternal life, to escape hell, do not to try to become religious or to reform yourself morally. It's like offering a bribe to God to clear you of your bad deeds, because a good work will not clear bad deeds, like in any court. If you’ve so much as lied and stolen you already stand as a liar and thief before God. Most people know Jesus died on the cross 2,000 years ago, but many might not know that He paid for our fine of death. We broke God’s law, Jesus paid our fine on the cross. He rose from the dead 3 days later, and all that you have to do to have eternal life and to be saved from hell is that while you should of course turn from your sins, trust alone in what Jesus did for you on the cross rather than trying to make your own way to God. If you would turn to Jesus and trust Him, you will be saved from hell and eternal death. It's not about joining a religion or trying to earn it, but just turning to God and being given mercy because of what He did for you. Why can you go to heaven? Because Jesus paid for your sins already and will clear your case when you simply trust Him to save you. The validity of this promise is clear through the prophecies of the Bible being fulfilled throughout the years with many being fulfilled now, with one example being in the nations coming against Israel in the current day, with their sudden return to their land also being foretold.
