You know what’s sad and so unfair? Is with that Metropolis map we could’ve had just one helluva potential good quality Arkham Superman game in there somewhere. He hasn’t had a game in like 20 years.
Bingo. I think Superman is being even more disrespected than Batman
Brah, don't get me started.
@@ObviousMalcolm_PLUS what about the flash being pissed on during his death like God dam that's the person who got disrespected the most
@@ObviousMalcolm_PLUSyeah for first time we see in rocksteady and superman is being treated like dirt. He’s the strongest member of the justice league too. ❤
@@RedHood-kz7ebyeah they were all done dirty and Wonder Woman 😭😭❤️❤️
Normally, I don't approve of people saying something isn't canon cause they hate it. Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is the exception.
Very fair
Couldn’t agree any more
My exact thoughts
Star Wars ?
Idk if I should be surprised you’re being hypocritical or to agree because it’s so bad I did the same
Don’t forget how Harley sexually assaulted Deadshot. The utter disrespect of the JL is abhorrent. Harley was basically copy and pasted from Margot Robbie’s Harley. Arkham Harley was unique. It was like she was ripped out of BTAS. Rocksteady destroyed my respect for them. The game ain’t canon. It’s a Ketamine infused fever dream of Harley.
She even hit in kid Ivy as if they both had a gay fling.
Didn't Deadshot and Harley hook up at some point in the comics or something? That might actually be canon lol
They should have made a Superman game or even a teen titans game or batman beyond arkham game
I can't really see how they'll pull off a superman game when you fly around and try collateral damage, or enemy types your facing.
A feel like a Superman game set after an event where he was temporarily controlled by branic would make for a great story, especially in today where apart from the Superman star man meme, Superman is portrayed as constantly evil. I think a story where Superman has to remind people that he actually a genuine good guy would make for a interesting narrative, heck as video game they can could use the subplot where branic alter their dna when he had them under control as a in game explanation for why Superman Powers aren’t up to the usual standard, and why the people has to regain his strength and power bit by bit, however an interesting twist would be to make this happen as Superman slowy regains the people’s trust. Especially tying the player’s growing strength with the people growing faith and support of you, allowing for the story to tell without speaking, about how the truth Measure of someone is what they do with their power, afterall power isn’t the end goal but a means to achieve your goals.
tbh i want a batman game that is based on the predator mode of arkham.
I'd rather play Arkham Origins: Blackgate than ever spend a cent on SSKTJL
For me. Gotham knights, at least that batman has more of a heroic death. Twice
We can all agree that this is not canon to the Arkhamverse, if Sefton Hill and his partner are not fully a part of the project, it is not a part of it
1:03 Dont blame zoomers we grew up with the arkham games, this game is pure corporate greed combined with a splash of trying to chase the trend od edgy anti-heroes established by shit like the boys and invincible
“Gen Z writers” yeah cuz all of us who grew up on Batman Arkham wanted that to happen…
And to think, after Arkham Knight's release, sequels to Arkham Origins could have been made (to fill in the gaps between Origins and Asylum) instead of Suicide Squad: KTJL.
Yep, the deathstroke tease in Arkham origins had so much potential
Arkham Knight really feels like the ticking point that lead to Suicide Squad Kills the Justice League being the nuclear bomb.
Funny enough in Origins/blackgate it was teased that the Suicide Squad would play a role in a future game probably set in between the gap of Origins and Asylum sadly that idea was probably scrapped and instead we got ssktjl.
@@King-CosmoAlpha1 at least we got assault on Arkham
It was so bad I looked up to Arkham Batman growing up so seeing his treatment in SSKTJL I stopped playing after I killed flashed and deleted the game off my ps5. I could tell the difference. I still play Arkham Knight and just repurchased and downloaded the return to Arkham remaster games just to get that terrible game of SSKTJL. I play the actual Arkham games and deleted the faux ones.
I honestly see SSKTJL as a joke. There had to be people im the studio that saw how bad it was going to be
@@ObviousMalcolm_PLUS Yes exactly! They could, no SHOULD have expected this with the way the game was going! It feels so unlike an Arkham game that I wouldn’t deem it as one. The developers and employees should have noticed this well in advance that something was off at the very least
@@CB-THE-OGThey did, half the team left between announcement and its first delay, then the rest of OG team left and created a new studio shortly before release. Rocksteady is just a name, the devs there are completely new and not a single person there, worked on Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Knight or Arkham VR.
tbh i want a batman game that is based on the predator mode of arkham.
To be fair Batman was confirmed to be alive at the end of arkham knight which was confirmed in the catwoman and Robin DLC by the henchmen and this was further confirmed in Reddit AmA Sefton Hill did a few years after arkham knight released.
As for what they did with suicide squad... I won't say anything because this comment will be longer than it has been aside from its failure being deserved WB didn't force them they wanted to make this.
Never thought i’d see Andrew Tate talk about the Batman Arkham series but i’m glad I did
LMAO
You know what cycles i see? When players start the game, their like, "why do people hate this game? It looks so good". Only when they get to the flash boss fight is when they start to rethink the games perception. And then finally when batman is killed off, it was already a coffin sealed when players are like "yep im done"
Very good video , keep pushing your content !
Thank you my man
@@ObviousMalcolm_PLUS You're welcome
This shit rocks....teady
Keep up the vids!
Appreciate the love
no lie Arkham knight is the best arkham game no debate
Arkham city’s better
Some people want a Batman Beyond game. Others want a Superman game. Me I want a World's Finest game.

Batman Arkham is a quadrilogy
Arkham origins wasn't made by rocksteady
@@ironbat5481 But it's an Arkham game and it's canon
@@ironbat5481 No Way Home wasn't made by Sam Raimi and/or Marc Webb but it's canon to their universes. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 wasn't made by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers or Justin K. Thompson but it's still canon to the Spider-Verse movies
@@NoNonsenseSpider that not the same
@@ironbat5481 It's an Arkham game and it's canon
very good vid bro
Thank you 🙏
After the latest Jason Schreier article, your title is very accurate.
Turns out, it _was_ indeed Rocksteady's leadership that was to blame for the troubled development of the game.
Not even WB
Let alone the consulting company every asshole is attacking.
How wonder how they would've implemented the fear toxin in gameplay.
What would you prefer a Batman Arkham movie or a Lego Arkham game
With how things are at WB, neither. Nice profile pic, that a very cute dog.
Well at least they’ve been given the chance to finish the brainiac storyline and continue Arkham games afterwards
It was always said that suicide squad ktsl wasn't in the same world or timeline as the arkham series tho
Great video. As mentioned by others Knight shouldn't be considered a real ending. It clearly wants to continue the story.
Unfortunately Baby Inc's Rocksteady decided to continue the story. Suicide Squad is a complete travesty of the Arkham verse.
Its a shame we didn't get the Batman beyond game
It's a backstabbing by Warner Brothers, just like Deep Silver backstabbed Volition
Gen Z writers ❌
Writers trying to appeal to Gen Z ✅
"The Suicide Squad didn't just kill the Justice League, but also the Arkham-verse." - Obvious Malcolm (2024)
I enjoyed the game, even though a lot of it repeats each other throughout the game i enjoyed it, im looking forward to seeing batman return to the game in the final season
It’s kinda sad how it went downfall spiral but I heard there was a new Arkham game coming for the google goggles? ❤❤❤
Normies: suicide Squad Killed the Arkhamverse.
The Intellectuals: The Writing Changes during the Production of Arkham Knight killed the Arkhamverse.
I don't agree with your premise as I don't think Arkham Knight was a good ending at all. Nobody was interested in seeing how Batman ends at that time. People wanted more, not less. They wanted the series to continue and evolve. To play as Batman but also as his family, as other heroes, as the Justice League.
Arkham Knight was only interested in being done with Batman games. They wanted to do other gameplay mechanics, sell DLC, costumes, battle passes....
Honestly, everything wrong with Suicide Squad - started with Knight.
I understand the desire to have more but im a big defender in ending things on a high note, not when it starts failing
You skipped Origins lol
Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League didn’t even sell enough copies or have enough of a fanbase to be considered canon. Canon isn’t decided by what company or publisher can fork over the most money to buy the IP and assign it to whoever. For example; lots of people consider Disney’s Star Wars to be a fanfic because they fundamentally don’t care for nor understand the IP. Canon is decided by the fanbase overall. No one considers this crap canon lmao
It's easy, just forget that Suicide Squad exists at all. That's what everyone has been doing, judging by the selling numbers. No one bought this game at all.
1:00 Most zoomers I know hate this game.
hello
It didn't kill the arkhamverse. It shined a light on it.
Huh?
14:22 who are you imitating , nakeyjakey ? stop , be yourself . Cringe
Boring. True but boring.
I had to stop this. The constant moving camera and putting you into ALMOST EVERY SHOT does not work. It was so off putting that it became the focus of the video and not what you were actually saying. Having some guy sit on a windowsill with a camera moving like you are on a boat with rapid edits is not a good video style for viewers.
Wokesteady it is now
