One of my favourite details regarding Hugo Strange, is during his interview tapes with Riddler in Arkham City, when Riddler tell this Hugo that he has been spying on him, Riddler mentions that inside he goes closet he has a suit that he secretly wears. That is a reference to the comics where Hugo Stange secretly wears a Batsuit and pretends to be Batman which shows how obsessed with him his. Feel free to make a shirt about it if you want.
One more thing to note is the Arkham Knight/Red Hood’s posture. He’s incredibly hunched over and at first it seems like it’s because he’s trying to look menacing, but it’s actually because Joker had him strapped to barbed wire so he couldn’t sit up straight for a year.
The way Joker was waiting for Jason in that abandoned part of Arkham makes me think the dismembering and sewing kids back together wrong thing was literally just him going as over-the-top horrible as he could to piss Jason off enough to come after him alone
@@santamendezmarte3814 This is why I fucking love DC, the grittiness and emotion they take from you is astounding. Don't see Marvel doing anything as good.
I mean..Mario is over 30 years old and people still talk about it. Arkham is still a baby franchise compared to other games like Final Fantasy 6 or chrono trigger
There is actually another theory about Anarkys end. Some people think that the court of owls had him killed. Which is backed up by the fact that Anarkys plan was to attack the richest people in Gotham, which canonically is what the court of owls is made up of.
I think Anarchy is in the beginning of arkham night. He's the guy who starts scarecrows attack in the dinner. He's wearing a red puffer jacket and has an Anarchy symbol carved on the table. I also believe he would help scarecrow because it creates Anarchy in Gotham
@@randonn_nes2181Apparently that's supposed to be Jason but that doesn't make any sense to me given the scratched out 'A' and that it just isn't his model. IDK, Anarky makes way more sense but I'm not sure Scarecrow has the same message as Anarky's.
In one of Joker's hallucinations in Arkham Knight, he also admits to replacing water for church baptisms with hydrochloric acid He literally dissolved babies
Yeh Arkham Joker has no morals at all hes a true monster and luvs that he is one too.Say what u want about the Arkham Knight AKA Jason Todd.But at least he had morals and cared about Barbra and Alfred.But Joker oh god this guys a real monster incarnate in fact he would probably make even Satan scared of him for his insane crimes he committed.
I like that Zsasz seems more like a non powered threat but man is he terrifying and extremely dangerous, also intelligent and being one of the only inmates aside from The Joker to escape the Asylum undetected. One thing I also find funny is that when Batman finds him he almost immediately knocks him out almost instantly Also Calendar Man is another one. In the comics he’s a d lister but this version is just way more terrifying, like the things he’s done they’re horrific
He’s simultaneously extremely dangerous and terrifying, but he also looks atrophic, and like he doesn’t particularly take care of himself. I could imagine him being someone Batman could and would knock out in one punch to stop him as fast as possible
@@raymondfisheriii791I remember reading somewhere he does isometric exercises in his cell to strengthen his body. Hes fairly weak against the common criminal in arkham and stands absolutely no chance against batman. But for the victims he hunts its definitely something that helps him. Especially since he's a coward and seeks weaker people than him.
In regards to the last one there's a simmilar case when you are playing as Harley; if you are in her equivilent of Detective mode for long enough, you will hear the voice of Harleen Quinzel try to talk to Harley and talk her off of the path she's on, like the sane part of her is still trapped in there, trying to talk the twisted thing she;s become back to sanity.
OKAY!! fun fact, in Arkham knight, if you play the game from start to maybe around where you meet nightwing, Batman will actually get more blood on his face , but IF YOU DIE , RESET OR LEAVE , the game will have removed the blood off his face.
To be fair we don’t know what the canon story is for Officer Owen. Because you don’t have to shoot the ppl at the start, and there is a lot of different dialogue bc of that. But if you do shoot them, then a couple officers do say that he’ll probably lose his job over it.
For sure. I think him shooting is canon however since Scarecrow’s fear toxin has been shown in the games to be near impossible to overcome. I just think it’s more likely than him not shooting
@@GothamPaladin, I agree that Officer Owens would almost certainly have shot and killed people, as Scarecrow's toxin no doubt causes people to think irrationally, so Owen's would have just panicked, and killed the (seeming) demons. From the point of view of morality, of course, Owens is utterly innocent of any murder or maiming he does then, as he'd been driven temporarily insane by the toxin, but of course anyone he did kill is still actually dead.
In Arkham asylum if you look at the bio of scarface, it actually tells you that he was carved by Arnold Wesker (i think that's his name) from the wood of a tree where people often hung themselves, so that is why the puppet has the properties it does now
My theory for the voices in detective mode is that Batman is picking up radio activity or voices from somewhere else, where people are calling for help and begging Batman to come. Detective mode is essentially Batman focussing on his surroundings, so it’s likely he picks up more than when he is going about his business. Also, I love the tapes in the Arkham games, they give so much extra lore and character depth and you having to actively search for them makes them a nice reward. The Asylum tapes are my favorites, as the therapy session style just really fits the overal game and really gives us an insight into the villain’s psyche.
I absolutely loved this video. I think my favorite disturbing feature was definitely Zsasz because I remember when I found all his tapes and put the story together, I was so frightened at what actually happened to that doctor
Any fictional character? That is a big order. How about Carnage? How about Freddy Krueger? There was a cross over comic between Carnage and Joker. Carnage describing of his crime was so disturbing even made Joker uneasy. But that was back in 90s. When DC still made Joker kind of light (light for Joker anyway) and Carnage was at his worst.
This is why the arkham trilogy will always be one of the best gaming trilogies ever. They could just made the games with a few references there and here but instead, they decided to create all of these secret sub plots. Just amazing
It’s actually crazy how many things are going on behind the scenes that players barely even pay attention to. Like the whole turf war subplot in Arkham City. Most players don’t even pay attention to it but it’s always one of the more interesting parts of that game to me.
@LegendsLiterature I actually noted it by just looking at that "turf scheme" at the penguin museum, and also by looking at the different types of enemies in the rooftops
You can find the waitress from the diner at the beginning in the hospital where the League of Assassins are hiding. She along with a few other patrons from the beginning are seen in the morgue
I think the voices you hear in detective vision in Arkham knight are people have conversations that are a good distance away as detective vision can pick up on people’s voices from certain distances
I dont know if youd agree but there was definetly an anarky side mission lined up and suprisingly its in the game, do you know what it is?? The riddler bomb side mission. It felt out of place because obviously it was supposed to be anarkys side mission
Why does no one ever mention that the guy who releases the fear gas at the beginning of knight has etched an Anarki symbol in the table and has very similar features to Anarki? I think that Scarecrow convinced him that this would be a great way to bring anarchy to Gotham.
@@newcamomile Ah really? I never knew that. But it doesn't really make sense that Jason would risk himself to the toxin like that, nor does it make sense for Jason to carve the Anarki symbol.
@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 OK. But we know that the fear toxin can be absorbed through clothes and skin and that gas masks don't help either. So it doesn't make sense that the AK would be the one to release the gas himself, knowing that the gas would more than likely affect him.
Batman is far more merciful than me, I would plucked Joker’s eyeballs out of his psychotic head after what he did to those kindergartners, then I would have murdered Zsazz, and Croc, Stagg, Harley Quinn…Red Hood was right
What did Croc do compared to most of Batman’s rogues. He is treated like a monster so that’s what he became ln my opinion. But I agree with Joker deserving death. He’s definitely a monster
I honestly feel sorry for Croc. His mom died giving birth to him, his dad left him with an abusive aunt, and he was mistreated over his skin condition his entire life. Croc’s a horrible person, but his life was a shit show from day one. He deserves to die just to put him out of his misery. Joker, on the other hand, is basically Satan in a human’s body. What he did to Edward Burke…I can’t put into words how fucked up he is.
I remember seeing a comment on another Batman Arkham video with a guy saying a rocksteady dev went to his school and said the distorted voices in detective mode are actually Alfred speaking. Personally before reading that I always thought they sounded like Alfred.
Honestly that makes total sense since when the fear gas rakes over and joker kills a character Alfred would try to alert Batman in sort of a distorted way until it finally became clear
Kinda weird how the comics changed the reason Jason went after Joker, this is how it went down in the comics: Batman was fighting Joker who was operating a Joker mech suit and Jason was told to stay in the Batmobile and when he saw Batman losing, he drove the Batmobile into the Joker mech destroying it which led to Joker trying to run into an abandoned factory and Jason tells Bruce that he is going after him and when Jason goes inside the building, it explodes and Batman thinks Jason died but he was okay and was trying to escape the collapsing building until Joker grabbed him while he was falling down to the ground which knocked Jason out and Joker dragged him back to probably Arkham Asylum.
i have soo much appreciation for the developers of this series the stories have so much detail in them they really took their time creating an unforgettable world
Great video, a lot of these details I've noticed myself but it's still great that you're discussing them to this extent. Great job! @17:11- "Arkham Asylum must be paying you really well if you're willing..." I have my doubts about that lol. In fact I remember in the 1st installment Arkham Asylum how a security guard on the island if you speak to him reveals he only gets $15 an hour. 15 an hour to work security on an island where some of the most dangerous super criminals in DC comics are committed. Bruh...
I'd love to see more of this! It's not only highly interesting but also shows the Arkham Series in a whole other light, or actually darkness kinda. Your voice is also a very good fit, as it's easy to listen to and I really would enjoy watching way more parts of this, as I am a very big Batman fan, especially also from the Arkham Games (in case it wasn't obvious enough from my profile pic lol) Definetly earned my sub
Given how the Militia instructor teaches his men about how Detective Mode taps into cameras, I think the voices heard while using it are from said cameras. Like it's filtering most of the nearby stuff out, but not quite all of it.
wow thank you for the in-video captions!!!!!! YT captions are so spotty, and half the time YTers don't even bother - I really appreciate the additional effort to edit them in before posting ♥️ ♥️
OMG, I NEVER KNEW THAT WE CAN HEAR DISTORTED VOICES WHEN WE HAVE DETECTIVE MODE ON FOR A LONGER TIME!!!!!!!!!! Seriously Arkham Knight has so many details. But this is scary and sad. Batman is still haunted by his mistakes and failures...........I feel so bad for him 😢........you can't always save everyone.......
Something more creepy about the detective mode voices is that if you listen more carefully you can hear someone call Jason’s name and telling him to end Bruce
I always believed that Anarky was the guy spreading the fear toxin in the diner. I know files call it nightmare_Jason but later on in the news report you can see a picture of the criminal and that they've arrested him he didn't have the J scar nor did he look like Jason. Even his outfit was similiar to Anarky's and on the table Anarky's symbol was scratched on just where he was sitting. So i believe that Anarky was the guy spreading the fear toxin in the diner at the start as it makes sense. I don't believe Anarky placed all those symbols himself around Gotham. He could easly have had some thugs do it for him.
“Patrick Bateman Arkham Asylum.” 😂 Never change GothamPaladin. Never change. Not only do you talk about stuff I’ve never known about the series, you’re also funny with it too.
Dr Sartorius' confession tape is the most haunting thing from this series to me, especially the last one. He and Stagg experimented with all many of horrible weapons and inhumane experiments is one thing, but the fact that they were genuinely terrified of Scarecrows new toxin will forever send shivers down my spine
I know it's a very far stretch, and we have no evidence but, for the last detail. I like to think it could be Deadman or another par-normal Batman character. The only way to communicate with Batman would be through his tech, since he is hard to reach and possess.
The bit with Officer Owens goes in hand with what Bruce remembers Gordan telling him the second time he's affected by the fesr toxin in Asylum. He's having the flashback of the death of his parents and he asks Gordon why he did it. Gordon responds, "It's this city. It does things to people." I like how you mentioned that with how Gotham can ryin innocent lives
My Theory about Anarchy is that he became Tim Drake Robin. Both are played by the same VA and both wear red. Tim Drake is just a false identity created by Batman to help hide who Tim really is.
In the harley dlc of arkham knight if you stay in "her detective mode" long enough you got her mind speaking to her. You also got writings on the walls saying that she feels alone.
If you don’t shoot officer Owen’s gun in the diner then the cops at his cell say “god knows how he got out without shooting anyone” so you can spare him of the pain from killing those people
The creepiest thing about Zsasz is hearing his origin story during the phone calls in Arkham City. As he tells it, his story almost exactly reflects Batman's. Normally we think Batman and Joker are two sides of the same coin. But after hearing Zsasz's story, it's hard to conclude whether becoming Joker, Zsasz, or Batman was fate, or a choice defying fate.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel I love this video and channel Thanks you for your video and channel I love Batman Arkham All franchise
I have a feeling that if you go to the area where Batman hallucinates Jason’s torture in Panessa Studios, I think you can hear his screams. I’m not too sure but to me, it makes the most sense. Especially for Arkham Knight
I will say this...I thought the kid in the diner in the beginning of Arkham Knight has a distinctive "A" carved on the table he's sitting at. And later on is no longer visible... personally i thought this could've definitely been Anarchy. What do you think?
@@GothamPaladingood video but stop equating 'losing humanity' to losing your positivity to what it means to be 'Human' when that's all propaganda BS to spread the narrative that Humans can just be ever-loving, noble etc. and something that is not deemed that way then gets labelled a 'monster' or 'inhuman' or 'abnormal' to means to differentiate as much as possible because Humans naturally hate or take issues with something that is deemed 'different' to the socially acceptable 'norms' being a Human is many things, you don't go out labelling Chimpanzees for 'losing their Chimpanzeeness' for being violent and cannibalising one another when that's just a part of what's being a chimpanzee is which goes the same for Humans
@@GothamPaladinalso there's no such thing as 'normal' especially for the labelling that you gave for that it's 'normal' for the Joker to do that, but that's the thing how is that 'normal' in its actuality to the meaning of what is deemed 'normal'
I always just kind of assumed those eerie sounds in Detective Mode was just background transmissions being picked up by Batman's cowl while Detective Mode is active
With the Lunatics, if the experimentation isn't enough, it's heavily implied Hugo gave them to Penguin as target practice. Given how they (Penguin's men) were able to capture an assassin, it's not too farfetched to assume they went to Wonder City and used them there before they got driven away.
Great video about a lot of stuff I've either already heard about or didn't already here regardless awesome video and i also subbed. Keep up the nice vida.
My theory is that Anarky is actually in the beginning of Arkham Knight! The man smoking, that grabs officer Owens in the diner, before things go haywire. On the table, was an anarchy symbol, and the person smoking was the Anarky kid
A nice detail is that in Arkham Origins, when we are about to save black mask, if we go to his desk before getting him off the place the joker left him hanging, we can see files of assassins black mask (the joker) didnt want to hire to kill Batman, there are 3 or 4 files.
The #10 detail might also be a reference to the movie the Dark Knight and how the "Detective Mode" in that movie consisted of Batman using every cellular device in Gotham to create a "sonar" image for him
So basically joker on Arkham verse it's a real maniac and manslaughter dude batman it's lunatic person to why he just make a prison with low defence like Arkham asylum than black gate prison. Jason it's right that's why he hate batman so bad
I guess we can assume he became doctor phosphorus because some weapons inspired by the character appeared in suicide squad recently. Meaning he exists within the Arkham universe
I always headcannoned that the hooded figure in the diner at the beginning of Arkham knight was anarky,considering we're shown the hooded figure's face and it's mentioned that he died in the fear toxin attack in Pauli's diner. So that explains why we never seen him and it'd make sense for anarky to want to cause that chaos
i've always found jason's torture story the darkest story of all arkhamverse. first time I played knight it shocked me like nothing before in arkham games
Man... As a kid playing Arkham Knight i had no idea who red hood or Jason todd which ever one.. And just seeing he was actually Robin I thought he was just another villan the lore on some of these villains/hero's are creepy but interesting
No matter the universe Simon Stagg is always an evil ceo who only sees profits. I wonder if he's also experimenting on meta-humans giving that in Young Justice and Death In The Family movie his company was a cover up for illegal meta-human traficing.

In fact I remember in the 1st installment Arkham Asylum how a security guard on the island if you speak to him reveals he only gets $15 an hour. 15 an hour to work security on an island where some of the most dangerous super criminals in DC comics are committed. Bruh...
I'd love to see more of this! It's not only highly interesting but also shows the Arkham Series in a whole other light, or actually darkness kinda. Your voice is also a very good fit, as it's easy to listen to and I really would enjoy watching way more parts of this, as I am a very big Batman fan, especially also from the Arkham Games (in case it wasn't obvious enough from my profile pic lol)
Definetly earned my sub
Given how the Militia instructor teaches his men about how Detective Mode taps into cameras, I think the voices heard while using it are from said cameras. Like it's filtering most of the nearby stuff out, but not quite all of it.
wow thank you for the in-video captions!!!!!! YT captions are so spotty, and half the time YTers don't even bother - I really appreciate the additional effort to edit them in before posting ♥️ ♥️
I think the last one is the people he couldnt save haunting him. He feels guilty for not being able to save them, so he still hears theyre screams
OMG, I NEVER KNEW THAT WE CAN HEAR DISTORTED VOICES WHEN WE HAVE DETECTIVE MODE ON FOR A LONGER TIME!!!!!!!!!! Seriously Arkham Knight has so many details. But this is scary and sad. Batman is still haunted by his mistakes and failures...........I feel so bad for him 😢........you can't always save everyone.......
The Arkham games all way to disturbing even for a Batman game
Batman villains are already worse than what the games depicted them
Something more creepy about the detective mode voices is that if you listen more carefully you can hear someone call Jason’s name and telling him to end Bruce
I need more of these videos I can’t get enough of them!
How has no inmate, asylum employee, or cop murdered Joker…
I always believed that Anarky was the guy spreading the fear toxin in the diner. I know files call it nightmare_Jason but later on in the news report you can see a picture of the criminal and that they've arrested him he didn't have the J scar nor did he look like Jason. Even his outfit was similiar to Anarky's and on the table Anarky's symbol was scratched on just where he was sitting. So i believe that Anarky was the guy spreading the fear toxin in the diner at the start as it makes sense. I don't believe Anarky placed all those symbols himself around Gotham. He could easly have had some thugs do it for him.
The detective mode echoes always felt to me like the cowl's computer memory sort of "skimming" through recordings of Batman's patrolling.
12:17 Panera Bread studios instead of Panessa. Funnily enough, that's what I was calling it when I was first playing Arkham Knight.
I think the dollatrons are the ones calling for help in detective mode it's probably not but someonething cool to think about
“Patrick Bateman Arkham Asylum.” 😂
Never change GothamPaladin. Never change. Not only do you talk about stuff I’ve never known about the series, you’re also funny with it too.
I don't think that was intentional
@@TH-camaccoubr He changed another name to Panera Bread
0:52 No matter how old the Arkham games/series is… That photo still gets to me & creeps me out.
The Arkham games are a master class in disturbing videogame details.
Zasz also makes an appearance when you go over the cctv footage of the knight kidnapping Barbara in Arkham knight, he messes with a phone again
The detective mode voices. Always gives me chills. The voice is so scary and gives me chills. Every time I hear it.
thank god dr cassidy is ok i thought she died and i had no idea that doctor in the game was dr cassidy
Dr Sartorius' confession tape is the most haunting thing from this series to me, especially the last one. He and Stagg experimented with all many of horrible weapons and inhumane experiments is one thing, but the fact that they were genuinely terrified of Scarecrows new toxin will forever send shivers down my spine
No one talks about how miserable will power Batman must use to not kill his villains
Freaking awesome collection dude. Good job
Whenever i think I'm ready for creepy, scary or dark things in Arkham games. I am actually not.
Love the video Paladin, by the way at 12:19 there's a subtitle mistake where Panessa became Panera Bread, guess you were hungry
I know it's a very far stretch, and we have no evidence but, for the last detail. I like to think it could be Deadman or another par-normal Batman character. The only way to communicate with Batman would be through his tech, since he is hard to reach and possess.
Damn these details are really chilling but the sad fact is that we literally have people like joker in our society but no Batman to protect us😢😢😢.
The bit with Officer Owens goes in hand with what Bruce remembers Gordan telling him the second time he's affected by the fesr toxin in Asylum. He's having the flashback of the death of his parents and he asks Gordon why he did it. Gordon responds, "It's this city. It does things to people." I like how you mentioned that with how Gotham can ryin innocent lives
My Theory about Anarchy is that he became Tim Drake Robin. Both are played by the same VA and both wear red. Tim Drake is just a false identity created by Batman to help hide who Tim really is.
3:33 damn, that's some great voice acting. Love it
I would love to see Peyton Riley as one of the villains in these games..........shame we never saw her.
Awesome video dude!
In the harley dlc of arkham knight if you stay in "her detective mode" long enough you got her mind speaking to her. You also got writings on the walls saying that she feels alone.
I didn't realize just how dark all of the villains were in the Batman games
My favorite part of asylum is definitely all the guards reacting to the breakout
The darker the better it shows how horrific Gotham is I believe. I always found comfort in horror. ✨🌃☺
If you don’t shoot officer Owen’s gun in the diner then the cops at his cell say “god knows how he got out without shooting anyone” so you can spare him of the pain from killing those people
The creepiest thing about Zsasz is hearing his origin story during the phone calls in Arkham City. As he tells it, his story almost exactly reflects Batman's. Normally we think Batman and Joker are two sides of the same coin. But after hearing Zsasz's story, it's hard to conclude whether becoming Joker, Zsasz, or Batman was fate, or a choice defying fate.
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel
I love this video and channel
Thanks you for your video and channel
I love Batman Arkham All franchise
Imagine Paul Giamatti or John Goodman playing this version of Calendar Man in the Matt Reeves Batman universe
I hope to hear more about Professor Pyg in Part 3 disturbing details 💯
I have a feeling that if you go to the area where Batman hallucinates Jason’s torture in Panessa Studios, I think you can hear his screams. I’m not too sure but to me, it makes the most sense. Especially for Arkham Knight
I will say this...I thought the kid in the diner in the beginning of Arkham Knight has a distinctive "A" carved on the table he's sitting at. And later on is no longer visible... personally i thought this could've definitely been Anarchy. What do you think?
Awesome video, do you mind linking my original video in the description 👊 keep up the good work the Arkham series is a masterpiece.
Yes sir!
@@GothamPaladingood video but stop equating 'losing humanity' to losing your positivity to what it means to be 'Human' when that's all propaganda BS to spread the narrative that Humans can just be ever-loving, noble etc. and something that is not deemed that way then gets labelled a 'monster' or 'inhuman' or 'abnormal' to means to differentiate as much as possible because Humans naturally hate or take issues with something that is deemed 'different' to the socially acceptable 'norms'
being a Human is many things, you don't go out labelling Chimpanzees for 'losing their Chimpanzeeness' for being violent and cannibalising one another when that's just a part of what's being a chimpanzee is which goes the same for Humans
@@GothamPaladinalso there's no such thing as 'normal' especially for the labelling that you gave for that it's 'normal' for the Joker to do that, but that's the thing how is that 'normal' in its actuality to the meaning of what is deemed 'normal'
I always just kind of assumed those eerie sounds in Detective Mode was just background transmissions being picked up by Batman's cowl while Detective Mode is active
With the Lunatics, if the experimentation isn't enough, it's heavily implied Hugo gave them to Penguin as target practice. Given how they (Penguin's men) were able to capture an assassin, it's not too farfetched to assume they went to Wonder City and used them there before they got driven away.
Got Arkham games had some spine chilling audio logs. I still get a spine chill hearing victor zasasc audio logs.
Great video about a lot of stuff I've either already heard about or didn't already here regardless awesome video and i also subbed. Keep up the nice vida.
Awesome video, I really love the Arkham series. Also that telltale Batman mod in knight is sick
My theory is that Anarky is actually in the beginning of Arkham Knight! The man smoking, that grabs officer Owens in the diner, before things go haywire. On the table, was an anarchy symbol, and the person smoking was the Anarky kid
A nice detail is that in Arkham Origins, when we are about to save black mask, if we go to his desk before getting him off the place the joker left him hanging, we can see files of assassins black mask (the joker) didnt want to hire to kill Batman, there are 3 or 4 files.
The #10 detail might also be a reference to the movie the Dark Knight and how the "Detective Mode" in that movie consisted of Batman using every cellular device in Gotham to create a "sonar" image for him
Funny enough, Victor Zaz dies after Arkham Knight hands of red hood or brainiac invasion.
No the comics are nok canon
@@tfordham13 ivw always been curious on why arkham origins and the comics arent considered canon
@Ipennien orgins is Canon the comics aren't as they considered stuff that is shown in the games
@@tfordham13 ok thanks
@@Ipennien Well, in the new Suicide Squad Prequel comic, King Shark eat Zsasz's head.
So basically joker on Arkham verse it's a real maniac and manslaughter dude batman it's lunatic person to why he just make a prison with low defence like Arkham asylum than black gate prison. Jason it's right that's why he hate batman so bad
I guess we can assume he became doctor phosphorus because some weapons inspired by the character appeared in suicide squad recently. Meaning he exists within the Arkham universe
man i hated those echoes because the kept throwing me off when i was trying to find the pyg bodies
Where did your animated Batman from Batman v Superman come from?
From Knight? Its a mod for the Telltale Batman suit. Thats why its cel shaded
You can not shoot the gun as Owens. He and the other officers are amazed he stopped himself
14:11 Was…was that a shart? Lol 😂
I always headcannoned that the hooded figure in the diner at the beginning of Arkham knight was anarky,considering we're shown the hooded figure's face and it's mentioned that he died in the fear toxin attack in Pauli's diner. So that explains why we never seen him and it'd make sense for anarky to want to cause that chaos
And also, there is a big ass Anarchy symbol on the table right in front of him
That last part with the voices kinda reminds me of FNAF 3 where when Springtrap moves he makes a noise that sounds like “forgive me”
i've always found jason's torture story the darkest story of all arkhamverse. first time I played knight it shocked me like nothing before in arkham games
It's great to see that Wesker and Otis have backstories in Arkham Shadow. Please check it out
Zsaas and Joker are people need to be put down, yet if somebody does it, batman gets angry
Does anyone know what suit his wearing?
Pc mod from telltale batman suit
Man... As a kid playing Arkham Knight i had no idea who red hood or Jason todd which ever one.. And just seeing he was actually Robin I thought he was just another villan the lore on some of these villains/hero's are creepy but interesting
Honestly if you could find 10 more details I’d love a part 3 to this ❤❤
No matter the universe Simon Stagg is always an evil ceo who only sees profits. I wonder if he's also experimenting on meta-humans giving that in Young Justice and Death In The Family movie his company was a cover up for illegal meta-human traficing.
