Wow you already made a part 3? I hope you keep going until you finish the main story and also I want to see the side stuff like the Riddler challenges and hidden stuff keep up the good work
Roger Graig Smith's voice is incredible! He doesn't sound like Batman at all when as Matches. It even only goes subtle when he's self narrating. He's always been my second favorite Batman voice actor, and he has perfected the role since.
This game has only been cementing him as Kevin Conroy's best successor in the role for me. Like him, he's able to embody each persona distinctly within an overall singular performance. Not just Batman & Matches, but also Bruce Wayne too are all parts of him as the Leslie scene wonderfully shows.
Maybe a hot take, yet I think Roger Craig Smith's Malone is better than Conroy's. Obviously, Kevin Conroy will remain the undisputed apex of Batman, but his Matches Malone was generally just a slightly deeper and dopey voice - which was fine for the rare times he went undercover as some dumb muscle, but this Malone seems more like a real person.
Boy, this is just turning into a love letter to Origins, isn't it? That game is finally getting the respect it deserves! Now only if we could get an official remaster...
It was about God damn time Batman Arkham Origins got its recognition it was unnecessarily hated by piece of crap Arkham fans even I liked Arkham Origins blackgate both of those games were highly underrated and overhated just because they weren't made by Rocksteady Studios this really goes to show some people are too attached to a single game development team just look how amazing Batman Arkham Shadow is which was made by Camouflaj They knew what they were doing because they actually did their homework They played the Arkham series to understand the art style the story the gameplay if Arkham Shadow actually succeed selling extremely well this might actually convince Warner Bros to remaster Arkham Origins and Arkham Origins Blackgate for Xbox One and PS4
@@HeyCMDR1991YT yeah i never really understood why people was so attached to one dev makers,sometimes the game meant to be made by other studio which did a nice work in the end.
this game unirocally feels like a part of the arkham quadrilogy. like this is undeniably an arkham quality game. hats off to the develoeprs for getting me interested in this
Agreed. It's the Arkham game I wished we'd get for years in practically every way; storytelling, gameplay, incorporation of lore, just in VR instead of consoles. I hope it paves the way for more Arkham Origins sequels.
@@themadtitan7603For real, Origins is severly underrated, they even go as far as flat out ignoring it, when it’s much better than Knight in many, many ways.
@rafaelmoisesbezerradasilva7271 I'm praising details the developer didn't *need* to put in. I *wish* I was being paid to praise video games. That would really help pay the bills.
@@FallenOne669 Well, I appreciate your politeness. Unfortunately, Shadow is another flop. It is not going to even reach the number of sales of Elden Ring DLC. I heard Rockstead is working on another solo Batman game. Maybe this game can continue Arkhan series.
these game devs really understand the soul of the arkham games wasnt just the excellent combat. but the environemnetla stroytelling.s eriously, every inch of every location in this game seems crafted with care and references and just makes you feel like youre batman. yes unirocally. the story also seems interesting af.
Agreed. The environmental storytelling, the lore & the world-building that made the Arkham games - particularly Asylum & City for me, feel so lived-in & immersive as a version of Gotham imo. I went from expecting another Arkham VR at announcement to getting a proper Arkham game in a new gaming medium.
18:41 It’s a cool little detail that Branden ended up going to TYGER after presumably losing his job after Origins. Also love that you can meet some of the case file suspects from Origins as well. Dig the Blackgate reference with Bronze Tiger too, 1:07:00
I suspected the characters around the block & yard were Origins characters but I couldn't quite pin them down besides LeBlanc & Bird. Now reading the comments do I realize they were case file suspects, I've just forgotten their names as it's been a while since I played Origins. I adore Camouflaj's attention to continuity, it feels like the proper sequel to it that I've wanted.
46:00 to 51:30 is some of my favorite characterisation of Batman in this continuity. The Animated Series was where I was introduced to Leslie Thompkins, and her dynamic with Bruce here is very touching.
100% agreed. I adore this moment & the other scenes with Leslie & Harvey. Especially as I feel Arkham Batman doesn't tend to get much moments of characterization like this as the games are often very plot-driven and fast paced. It builds off Origins being the Arkham game with the most human & vulnerable moments provided for Bruce/Batman. And is shaping up to deliver an emotional arc for Bruce like the devs talked about, another thing lacking from half the games imo.
bruce dropping the “batman voice” for leslie at 49:13 was surprisingly sweet! plus all of the childhood flashbacks have been really moving so far. im glad this game is letting bruce be more vulnerable it’s one thing I felt the og quadrilogy was missing also im eating up all of the origins callbacks and references, finally putting respect on that game!
I love the insight this game gives on what ways Arkham Batman differs from his main comics counterpart in terms of his origins,I love his voice as well.
Same. I love the history bit of Bruce & Harvey having grown up together in a troubled youth home & being specifically both raised by Leslie, rather than just Bruce. I kind of wish that detail would a regular part of Batman canon now, which I always appreciate when adaptations make me feel that. And it just makes their interactions in future games significantly more tragic knowing all this, especially Batman's last conversation with Harvey in Knight. And I can only imagine how Leslie felt about Harvey's turn to Two-Face.
Also at 31:03 There’s John DeMarco That corrupt swat officer in the hit and run case. Really cool seeing these minor characters return if only briefly.
They remember the most wanted missions from AO. Heck, they remembered AO blackgate, the fight with Bronze Tiger, the coliseum from penguin, the frickin crates were you got upgrades around the prison, damn!
1:43:32 oh damn i think this is the area where you had that final boss fight with bane in Arkham Origins! What a deep cut, even the echo you collect here references a scene from the game too. The devs really did their homework with this one
In the last video I noticed Wesker (Ventriloquist) and Boone, this version of Shrike was a childhood friend of Dick Grayson, who is probably the "Unidentified hyper nimble roommate". Shame he dies before he gets to be Nightwing's rival, but we weren't getting a Nightwing game in this universe anyway. The inclusion of Matches Malone and Leslie Thompkins is REALLY selling me on these writers though.
@@ternative in the comics she was friends with Bruce’s father and acts like a mother figure to Bruce after his parents die. she doesn’t appear in adaptations a lot (the only time I can think of her doing so is in Gotham but she’s almost completely different except from her being a doctor) so it’s nice to see her in Arkham lore
@@endingboyhansel Also BTAS. I love that she's finally introduced into the Arkhamverse because she provides nice humanization to Bruce as another parental figure in his life besides Alfred. Also she was referenced in Arkham City.
@TheGhost20978, it's not so much fake. it's just batmans voice. Bruce and batman are as much the same person as they are separate entities. Ive always believed batman developed a very complex split personality disorder the night his parents died.
Everything I spotted while watching this part (so far): 5:52 ‘Berks’ is referring to Chucky berks from Arkham Origins, the Dixon docks shooter who killed a reporter 9:35 ‘Carter’ is a reference to one of the origins crime scene investigations involving Andrew Carter; he was a venom enhanced henchman for bane who killed a man by throwing an air conditioner at him Edit, so is ‘Hanes’ at 10:28, this is the first non story crime scene investigation you do involving Robert Hanes, a well known con artist who killed a man by throwing him off a roof to ‘protect his interests’ 18:45 Brandon is back 31:40 Ferris Boyle 34:40 Bird (missing his accent), probably the worst boss fight in Arkham Origins 38:20 Ricky ‘Looselips’ LeBlanc 46:44 the Grey Ghost
I love the attention to continuity & particularly Origins', that they talked about in the Q&As being on full display. Also I noticed Bird is missing his accent too for some reason.
May I ask when is the next part? You are the only player who actually knows how to play the game and give a good experience to the viewers. You also actually care about the world and the story. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
@@themadtitan7603According to the wiki, this game takes place in the year 2014 alongside Arkham Origins blackgate. Stuff like this is why I think the world building in these games fell apart, because Arkham Asylum being set in 2022 makes very little sense to me.
I thought "Falcohn" was just the Americanized pronunciation versus the Italian "Falco-nee". Although you got a point about the Reevesverse because even the Falcone family members say it like the former.
Yeah, I feel the story is shaping up to be on the level of some of the Arkham games if not above some of them thanks to the greater amount of character moments here.
@@adamH.1 His thoughts also being in-character is the strange part for me but it's very Bruce to do so. As he usually almost completely disappears when he inhabits an aspect of his personality.
Really shows the dedication Bruce puts in in order to remain in character. Not even his own thoughts are allowed to reveal who he truly is. Truly playing 4D chess with himself.
Also I was kinda jokingly being a dick but I’ve seen some comments and you’ve gotten a bunch of shit actually thrown your way. Hope all is well because I’ve been watching you for years now and I’m sure you will let us know what’s going on when you can. But still lock it in I need your walkthroughs I fr can’t watch other people play
Yeah maybe if she had been a member of the arkhamverse justice league maybe she would have tried to use her magic or better yet contacted other dc magical heroes like shazam,john Constantine and dr fate to try and find away to free the mind controlled justice league from brainiac instead of killing because since brainiac is a creature of science and zatanna and the other dc magical heroes have magic because magic and science don't mix well together perhaps magic would have been the solution to freeing the league from brainiac control because when wonder woman used her lasso of truth on the flash it almost brought him out of brainiac brainwashing but the lasso of truth wasn't enough so if zatanna,dr fate and John Constantine used their magics maybe it would have freed the justice league without killing them
@@ieuanrichards8840bro Not to look down on you or sum but this is the same exact issue with EVERYTHING comics related. The writers involve characters only if they have an interest in the story. How many times in movies, comics or animation did some characters faced world ending threats alone while the other heroes were just sitting on their asses
Thank you for your dedication to bringing us quality Batman Arkham content for over a decade. Playing not as Batman but as Matches Malone, Roger Craig Smith has distinctive timbre and intensity for each of them. I like it.
@@themadtitan7603could be but Catwoman seemed to have become more active in year 3 of this universe so perhaps that during this version of Long Halloween she slashed Carmine when she figures out why she was abandoned as a child.
@@kwayneboy1524 That makes sense. I suppose in this universe she might've started out in Year 2 instead & became more active in Year 3 with the Blackgate takeover. So based on that I think she might've attacked Falcone shortly before/after Origins.
Joe is Joe Chill, I’m betting on it. Also the connection between Harvey and Bruce as kids… I’m hoping we see Harvey become Two-Face because that seems to be setting that up
Now that you mention it, him avoiding parts of his parts & saying he's not like "the others" here, I think it's more than likely. I hope it's a side mystery that can be solved at the end with Batman having some reaction at the end. They said there's no side missions in this game but it would've been to have one regarding Chill that ends with direct confrontation between him & Batman.
Okay so I wasn’t the only person who thought that. Side note, the kid that Bats threw through a wall before going berserk in part one might have been Dick Grayson.
This is such a great game where the devs actually planned and took the time to actually explore the story of the games including the fact that the made references to Arkham Origins Blackgate with Deadshot’s target poster, Joker Teeth, Penguin Cages, and Black Masks destroyable masks. I never thought they would include all the criminals from the case files in Origins. They absolutely cooked this up on a 5 star plate greatest thing we’re gotten since Arkham Knight They HAVE to remaster Arkham Origins at this point
As they said, they did study the continuity of the Arkham games & it seems particularly Origins got the most display here which is great as it makes it a proper sequel to that game. Also I'd love a flat screen Origins sequel picking up from this alongside that remaster.
You know there's very few adaptations of leslie and even fewer in regards to her helping Alfred raise Bruce. This is first adaptation that shows that she was literally his second mom just like Alfred was his second dad. It's honestly beautiful and really fits the arkham universe when you realize when don't really know the real background when the bruce besides the initiation dlc from origins but that was just one part. Seeing the origin of matches malone is also great cause it's showing how bruce as grown from origins as well but he's still pretty raw. The easter eggs so far is PURE arkham universe love. This is a true Arkham game regardless of VR. This is essentially a year 3 batman and we already get teases of robin too. And BIG SHOUTOUT to roger craig smith. Dude was able to give a matches voice, a batman voice, and a bruce voice and they're all distinct 👏🏾 AMAZING 👏🏾
I was thinking that too. Even in Origins she gave the impression that she wasn't just the mild-manned doctor she comes across. But here she actually seems like serious, empathetic psychiatrist who truly cares for her patients. It's surreal that this Harleen goes onto poison Dr. Burke & his daughter & overall become the Harley Quinn we saw from the Arkham games & SS:KTJL.
@@themadtitan7603 i dont get why she's so good in this game, even in Origins it's implied she was the one who broke joker out basically starting the riot
1:04:40, that incomplete phrase is part of the prophecy that Azrael told Batman in Arkham City. The "order dedicated to vengeance" Cyrus refers to is the group of Azrael's masters, the Order of St. Dumas.
This game is fucking awesome. I can't believe we got a new Arkham game and they just put it in VR. Seriously tempting but I will hold out for it to be on other VR platforms.
arkham franchise releases so far arkham asylum: 2009 arkham city: 2011 arkham origins: 2013 arkham knight: 2015 arkham vr: 2016 arkham shadow: 2024 big gap between vr and shadow, but it's nice arkham is back after so long
1:37:24 I really like this line. It's almost like a 4th wall breaking moment where Alfred acknowledges it's been too long since we've had a brand new Arkham experience.
"So how do you keep a secret from the World's Greatest Detective? Well, do you know? It’s easy. You stick it right in front of him! Right under his long, pointy nose and wait."
When I saw the shop tutorial appear when talking to Joe, I got really scared thinking that the rest of this game would just be you as Malone in BlackGate, but of course Batman has a secret batcave in the catacombs of BlackGate. They def took a lot of inspiration from Asylum for this game and I love it
Poor Leslie Thompkins. Can't imagine how she feels about both her boys Harvey and Bruce ending up working outside the law. Love how she told Bruce to kill BOTH voices. Total mom power.
I can only imagine how she felt about Harvey's turn into Two-Face. It makes the other games mre tragic for me. And I loved Leslie telling Bruce to quit the voices too. It's such a human moment for Arkham Batman & great display of acting for RCG.
I have no way of playing this so I appreciate you for being so thorough in the gameplay I like the Easter eggs like zantannas posters and the flying Grayson's. Awesome vids🙏🏽
This game is phenomenal! The story, the combat, the references, the voice acting, it’s all great; it’s the sequel to origins that I never knew I needed!
1:29 IT LOOKS LIKE GORO MAJIMA FROM YAKUZA GAMES 31:53 COLD COLD HEART REFERENCE 1:03:09 AND GOTHAM WILL BURN AND YOU WILL BURN TOO. ARKHAM CITY REFERENCE
0:01 Am I the only one who thinks that young Leslie Thompkins sounds like Morena Baccarin, the actress who played Leslie Thompkins in the 2014 show Gotham
1:14:45 man, they're still making creeper references but they one let Ryder go full throttle with it! I bey Creeper DLC missions would've been super fun in any of the arkham games!
At 1:04:17, Cyrus Pinkney was saying a line that coincides with the sacred Order of Saint Dumas. Only longtime fans of the Arkham series will know what it means.
Seems like they took it easy with the combat as it no longer has the free flow combat landing each hit on each enemy. That would probably cause some VR players to feel nauseous. Combat is still very good though.
Skip to 0:47 if the last video was just watched. 1:18: Thought this was Goro Majima from the Yakuza games. Hey, isn't Takeo related to Katana? 1:55: Back to reality. Got a nice nickname in return too. 2:36: I see Batsy's finally gonna meet that head of the Arkham underworld onscreen. 3:30: Again, back to reality. 4:32: Oh, no. We're actually seeing the creation of the Ventriloquist and Scarface. 5:35, 10:14, 27:44 (sort of) and 31:03, 32:41: It's the Arkham Origins Case File guys! 6:30: Harleen Quinzel, I assume. 6:47: Darn, can't wear it. 6:52: At least an old friend is doing fine. Wonder if she'll be Justice League material? 8:00: Noted. Will expect Branden here. 9:17: Oh, Bane's people back in Origins. Ah, yes, that's Andrew Carter the V man from the earlier calls. 13:00: Bruce Wayne on vacay? Classic. 14:39: Heard that. 14:53: Ah, Selina Kyle/Catwoman. She sure got away with it alongside Amanda Waller during the second Blackgate incident, though they at least failed in getting at Bane. 15:45: Got away again. If only Batman got to him back on Christmas Day 2013. 17:23: For the undercover role. 18:37: Called it, here's ex-GCPD Branden. 19:07: Back to reality once more. (You know, Irving "Matches" Malone sounds more like voice actors Steve Blum and Brandon Keener, less like Roger Craig Smith.) 23:05: ... 23:37: Is this gonna be worth it? Not gonna stay in Blackgate long, after all, Malone. 24:26: What about you, Batman? Doubt you'll be staying in Gotham for more than a decade. 24:44: Back again in reality. 25:55: Concerned for Gotham's youth, hmm? 26:17: Reality returneth. Man, didn't expect Arkham Shadow to have more dialogue choices compared to the other games. Game sure got generous with the money received for the shop. 27:10: Darn it. 27:13: Sold! 27:20: To remember that brave yet misguided Rat from last time. Sold! 27:23: Which Floyd Lawton? This universe's offscreen black one, or that other Earth's white one whom Batman fought back in Origins? 27:26: The DCAU's Calendar Girl, natch. Sold! 27:39: Deathstroke never actually did go to Blackgate long. He should be part of some Task Force X, before the Joker and also the Scarecrow will hire him for... things. Sold! 27:55: Victor Fries may or may not need this. Sold! 27:59: Poor guy's mask is now permanently fused since the second Blackgate incident. 28:08: Leave it to Camouflaj for referencing Origins: Blackgate lots, despite the game's reception. 31:36: So the "humanitarian" did take a seat after New Year's Eve 2013. Good to know. 34:33: He was one of Bane's toughies, and became a Origins sub-boss battle too. Huh, he sounds different. 35:21: Bane never did come back for his goons (unless we count the defunct Arkham Origins multiplayer as canon still), and he ended up giving up on Gotham City and changing objectives via liberating Santa Prisca come the Arkham Knight era. 35:48: Back to reality once more. 36:36: Sincerely, at least Bane will be long remembered. Don't hear anything about a Rat King in the Asylum to Knight era. 37:03: Reality bites back. 38:08: Hey again, LeBlanc. Oh, he hasn't seen the future Arkham Knight Batsuit yet, man. 39:15: Found 'im. 39:36: Ah, Takeo's outside too. Shifty guy, Takeo. He an ex-cop or ex-ARGUS? 41:32: The Gotham TV series and The Batman 2022 iterations didn't mind. 44:09: Please don't tell us the player needs the Batclaw to take that out just like in Origins: Blackgate. 44:26: Shite, don't even have a Batsuit for this. Wait, is Matches Malone using blinding sand as an alternative to cape parrying? 45:34: Ack, a hit! And another! That's it, Bolton's next on the takedown list. 46:02: Ah, so that's how Bruce and Harvey first met in the Arkhamverse. 46:24: And Harvey's the reason why this Bruce became enamored of the Gray Ghost. Schway! 47:30: Wait a minute, he has a Big Bad Harv persona too? 47:50: We know that's concerning. 48:05: Back to grim reality. That spine on the X-Ray... hard to believe Batman survived Bane's signature backbreaker in this universe. 49:01: This is gonna be a classic. 50:24: Not the whole Batsuit? 51:42: Seems Kord knows about Batman's identity. Either that, or he's chill. 53:12: Simon Stagg's company? Outrageous. Careful, Malone. Who knows if there are secret cameras in every Blackgate cell. 56:54: Yeah, I can believe Scarface is supernaturally inclined. Even Blackgate has its own emergency Batcave. Heh, if only the player can try to suit up on every Batsuit piece. 59:14: Goodbye for now, fancy bodysuit. 1:00:26: Time won't be wasted somehow. 1:00:42: What a way to tie up loose ends, weirdly enough. 1:01:30: You two will never became a permanent item, Bruce. 1:02:25: Cathartic to not hear much about Falcone and Sal Maroni in the Asylum to Knight era. 1:02:32: Speaking of somebody named Roman, the Rat King can't be Black Mask. He should be busy trying revenge on the Joker since his mask got welded to his face. 1:02:49: Ancient Rune 3 found. Seems we're reconnecting with the long gone Cyrus Pinkney from Arkham Origins again, and curious thing too, since these eerily look like the future Azrael's sigils. 1:06:02: Rat King Idol No. 18. 1:06:19: Discovered Patient Tape about Dr. (Jonathan) Crane/the future Scarecrow and Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger (yes, from Origins: Blackgate). So many audio logs being misplaced and serendipitously found all across time and space. Wait, the latter tussled with the League of Assassins? Gutsy. 1:08:55: Rat Radio No. 12. The hint is adding the numbers to 41. 1:09:30: Rat King Idol No. 19. 1:09:50: Patient Tape about Dr. Harleen Quinzel/the later Harley Quinn and Arnold Wesker/the later Ventriloquist. Interesting seeing a Harleen who actually does her job decently, though I pity what'll become of the latter whilst being concerned about the future of Dr. Crane. 1:13:26: Oh, Ryder wasn't kidnapped or something. 1:18:12: Rat King Idol No. 20. 1:18:58: So true. 1:19:45: Level Up! Chosen Quick Silent Takedown! 1:20:06: Rat Radio No. 13. 1:24:06: Explosive Gel and Batwing, comprende. 1:25:13: Patient Tape about Leslie Thompkins and Carmine Falcone. Thank gosh this game is awesomely showing off those two for this series. 1:27:00: Patient Tape about Leslie and Bronze Tiger. Two things to say; is Bronze Tiger on again, off again with the Squad? 1:28:48, crudely put: Ancient Rune 5 found. 1:33:02: Level Up! Acquired Special Combo Batarang! 1:33:32: I see. 1:33:46: Rat Radio No. 14. 1:35:03: Rat Radio No. 15. 1:35:53: Rat King Idol No. 21. The Batwing doesn't look like the one from Origins. Far as I can tell, it's becoming like the one from Asylum. Just point and shoot. Strange Explosive Gel improvement. 1:39:25: A thing from Origins: Blackgate. 1:39:39: Here's to Memory No. 2. Don't remember this Blackgate side game event much, but we do know that Sionis eventually will fall by the hands of the Red Hood... or was that a body double? 1:40:49: Level Up! Picked Explosive Gel Power! 1:40:58: Rat Radio No. 16. 1:42:05: Here's to Memory No. 3. If we see this monster again... 1:44:18: Rat King Idol No. 22. 1:44:36: Here's to Memory No. 4. We are going to miss that persona of Bane. Bullfights against him can become routine. 1:46:06: Patient Tape about Dr. Harleen and this affable old man Joe. That's how it is so: Jungian Shadows. 1:49:13: Ancient Rune 7 found. Is this more of St. Dumas' nonsense? 1:52:16: Ancient Rune 6 found. Of course an Azrael statue showed forth. 1:55:21: Level Up! Disruptor readied! 1:55:46: Rat Radio No. 17. 1:57:11: Rat Radio No. 18. 1:57:42: Rat Radio No. 19. 2:01:17: Smooth and bold. 2:01:25: Oh no! Don't even have a Batclaw yet!? 2:04:18: Don't quote BvS much. What a boss battle, and a timely Level Up for Disruptor Ammo too. 2:06:18: Rat Radio No. 20. 2:07:46: Why talk about Yorick when Kagemusha and Ran are better? 2:08:00: Ancient Rune 2 found. At least he never lived through computers, what with Henry Cobblepot changing things. So Barbara was deemed Oracle BEFORE she became Batgirl. Intriguing. April 20, 1988: that should probably make the Ratcatcher 26 years old as of Arkham Shadow. 2:13:02: ...Farewell, free Wesker. Hello, Scarface... 2:04:16: Unamusingly, Perseus actually didn't have too many bad moments compared to peers Heracles, Aeneas, Bellerophon, Theseus, and many more Greek and Roman "hero figures".

From which game was the Black Mask echo in this part 2 video was?
Wow you already made a part 3? I hope you keep going until you finish the main story and also I want to see the side stuff like the Riddler challenges and hidden stuff keep up the good work
@@HeyCMDR1991YT Spoilers: There is no riddler unfortunately. If there was then BAV would grind his secrets fr
Roger Graig Smith's voice is incredible! He doesn't sound like Batman at all when as Matches. It even only goes subtle when he's self narrating. He's always been my second favorite Batman voice actor, and he has perfected the role since.
Roger Craig Smith is more than worthy of the mantle of The Dark Knight🔥👍👊🦇
This game has only been cementing him as Kevin Conroy's best successor in the role for me. Like him, he's able to embody each persona distinctly within an overall singular performance. Not just Batman & Matches, but also Bruce Wayne too are all parts of him as the Leslie scene wonderfully shows.
I've noticed too I hope we see him in more projects honestly. They can continue the series with him.
Maybe a hot take, yet I think Roger Craig Smith's Malone is better than Conroy's. Obviously, Kevin Conroy will remain the undisputed apex of Batman, but his Matches Malone was generally just a slightly deeper and dopey voice - which was fine for the rare times he went undercover as some dumb muscle, but this Malone seems more like a real person.
@@baki484 We could get a whole Arkham Origins trilogy with him as a continuation of the series imo.

That's also Arnold Wesker's origin in the comics.
They're really bringing in much of what happened in Origin and then the rest of the series in between.

48:57 I love how the name in the subtitles changes for each voice: Malone--Batman--Bruce.
Lmao, yeah! Camoflaj paid the right amount for the 5-star VA'ing!
have you been paid for writing this? man you are praising name in the subtitles.
@rafaelmoisesbezerradasilva7271 I'm praising details the developer didn't *need* to put in. I *wish* I was being paid to praise video games. That would really help pay the bills.
@@FallenOne669 Well, I appreciate your politeness. Unfortunately, Shadow is another flop. It is not going to even reach the number of sales of Elden Ring DLC. I heard Rockstead is working on another solo Batman game. Maybe this game can continue Arkhan series.
@@rafaelmoisesbezerradasilva7271 A flop by WHO's standards?
these game devs really understand the soul of the arkham games wasnt just the excellent combat. but the environemnetla stroytelling.s eriously, every inch of every location in this game seems crafted with care and references and just makes you feel like youre batman. yes unirocally. the story also seems interesting af.
They can't understand enough with the stupid reveal of the villain.
@@daph0307eh I like them I think it's part of the fun with detective game.
@@kwayneboy1524 not sure if you understand how that contradicts the lore and also how they limit themselves story-wise for future entries.
Agreed. The environmental storytelling, the lore & the world-building that made the Arkham games - particularly Asylum & City for me, feel so lived-in & immersive as a version of Gotham imo. I went from expecting another Arkham VR at announcement to getting a proper Arkham game in a new gaming medium.
@@daph0307 coz its a prequel they got limited assets to work with and the way they did with it is actually good considering how down rocksteady is
18:41 It’s a cool little detail that Branden ended up going to TYGER after presumably losing his job after Origins. Also love that you can meet some of the case file suspects from Origins as well.
Dig the Blackgate reference with Bronze Tiger too, 1:07:00
I suspected the characters around the block & yard were Origins characters but I couldn't quite pin them down besides LeBlanc & Bird.
Now reading the comments do I realize they were case file suspects, I've just forgotten their names as it's been a while since I played Origins.
I adore Camouflaj's attention to continuity, it feels like the proper sequel to it that I've wanted.
I always felt it was a small missed opportunity that he didn't show up in Arkham Knight in the Militia. This is cool, though.
@SHARPSPEED I'm guessing that he must have passed away before Arkham knight
@@Sakura_KudoI thought he got arrested after the Mister Freeze DLC
Seems to be full of these fun little details, like the cat rescue getting an anonymous $50,000 donation.
These hand gestures that BAV makes are killing me.
If you're gonna immerse yourself/roleplay, you might as well have fun with it
👉😎👉
If I ever get my hands on this game, I just know I'll spend a lot of time just seeing all the gestures I can get Batman to do.
46:00 to 51:30 is some of my favorite characterisation of Batman in this continuity. The Animated Series was where I was introduced to Leslie Thompkins, and her dynamic with Bruce here is very touching.
Same here, Sir❤🦇
100% agreed. I adore this moment & the other scenes with Leslie & Harvey. Especially as I feel Arkham Batman doesn't tend to get much moments of characterization like this as the games are often very plot-driven and fast paced.
It builds off Origins being the Arkham game with the most human & vulnerable moments provided for Bruce/Batman. And is shaping up to deliver an emotional arc for Bruce like the devs talked about, another thing lacking from half the games imo.
The retcon of Bruce and Harvey being childhood friends was quite interesting, and does retroactively make their later interactions even more tragic.
Agreed. I was just thinking how much heavier their last conversation in Knight feels knowing all of this backstory.
It's a part of the comics since Rebirth too
Would it be a retcon? It's just not a detail that ever came up before. I guess Harvey does say that he doesn't like Bruce in City.
bruce dropping the “batman voice” for leslie at 49:13 was surprisingly sweet! plus all of the childhood flashbacks have been really moving so far. im glad this game is letting bruce be more vulnerable it’s one thing I felt the og quadrilogy was missing
also im eating up all of the origins callbacks and references, finally putting respect on that game!
I love the insight this game gives on what ways Arkham Batman differs from his main comics counterpart in terms of his origins,I love his voice as well.
Same. I love the history bit of Bruce & Harvey having grown up together in a troubled youth home & being specifically both raised by Leslie, rather than just Bruce. I kind of wish that detail would a regular part of Batman canon now, which I always appreciate when adaptations make me feel that.
And it just makes their interactions in future games significantly more tragic knowing all this, especially Batman's last conversation with Harvey in Knight. And I can only imagine how Leslie felt about Harvey's turn to Two-Face.
10:15 That’s Robert Hanes the suspect in one of the case files from Origins. Now that’s someone I wasn’t expecting to see again!
Same with Berks around the 5:40 mark
Same with Carter afterwards, the one talking about bane
Also at 31:03 There’s John DeMarco That corrupt swat officer in the hit and run case. Really cool seeing these minor characters return if only briefly.
They cooked with that callback!
God, that last name sound stupid.🤦🏿♂️
They remember the most wanted missions from AO.
Heck, they remembered AO blackgate, the fight with Bronze Tiger, the coliseum from penguin, the frickin crates were you got upgrades around the prison, damn!
1:43:32 oh damn i think this is the area where you had that final boss fight with bane in Arkham Origins! What a deep cut, even the echo you collect here references a scene from the game too. The devs really did their homework with this one
10:33 If you've played the case file side missions in Origins you'd know this is a CRAZY detail.
A real neat reminder.
Absolute kudos to the makers of this game
I know. I'm still remember back in Batman Arkham Origins game. Although that guy's last name is so stupid.
1:46 He is the brother of Maseo, Tatsu Yamashiro’s (Katana) husband. What a deep cut, no pun intended
In the last video I noticed Wesker (Ventriloquist) and Boone, this version of Shrike was a childhood friend of Dick Grayson, who is probably the "Unidentified hyper nimble roommate". Shame he dies before he gets to be Nightwing's rival, but we weren't getting a Nightwing game in this universe anyway.
The inclusion of Matches Malone and Leslie Thompkins is REALLY selling me on these writers though.
@@blindbeholder9713who tf is Leslie Tompkins
@@ternative in the comics she was friends with Bruce’s father and acts like a mother figure to Bruce after his parents die. she doesn’t appear in adaptations a lot (the only time I can think of her doing so is in Gotham but she’s almost completely different except from her being a doctor) so it’s nice to see her in Arkham lore
@@endingboyhansel Also BTAS. I love that she's finally introduced into the Arkhamverse because she provides nice humanization to Bruce as another parental figure in his life besides Alfred. Also she was referenced in Arkham City.
@@blindbeholder9713 Yeah, or I think he could've been an enemy Dick fights as Robin in an Arkham Origins sequel had he survived.
The fact that pocket sand is an actual upgrade got me 🤣
Yeah, i thought malone couldnt stun guys until i saw that in the menu. Fun and clever way to keep the cape stun
One of Batman's martial arts teacher was Dale Gribble.
20:06 never thought we see Braden again after what happened in Origins.
I didn't expect him here or that he would've ever worked in TYGER, but it's cool how they went back & gave him a story after Origins.
@@themadtitan7603yeah and after he lost the chance to be 50 million dollars richer.
The crooked cop and some of people that was in the cases of murders are in. Guess can't leave them out if this is years later after Origin.
Fr. Batman disrespected the FUCK out of him!!!!!😂
48:35 Damn, Bane really did alot of damage to Bruce's spine
Oh yeah! I remember Bane did broke Batman spine back in Batman Arkham Origins game.
Leslie shutting down Bruce’s voices is great
Ofccialky made her a badass, just like in the Gotham tv series .
Crazy to think all these other games he’s used a fake voice lol
@TheGhost20978, it's not so much fake. it's just batmans voice. Bruce and batman are as much the same person as they are separate entities. Ive always believed batman developed a very complex split personality disorder the night his parents died.
Everything I spotted while watching this part (so far):
5:52 ‘Berks’ is referring to Chucky berks from Arkham Origins, the Dixon docks shooter who killed a reporter
9:35 ‘Carter’ is a reference to one of the origins crime scene investigations involving Andrew Carter; he was a venom enhanced henchman for bane who killed a man by throwing an air conditioner at him
Edit, so is ‘Hanes’ at 10:28, this is the first non story crime scene investigation you do involving Robert Hanes, a well known con artist who killed a man by throwing him off a roof to ‘protect his interests’
18:45 Brandon is back
31:40 Ferris Boyle
34:40 Bird (missing his accent), probably the worst boss fight in Arkham Origins
38:20 Ricky ‘Looselips’ LeBlanc
46:44 the Grey Ghost
I love the attention to continuity & particularly Origins', that they talked about in the Q&As being on full display. Also I noticed Bird is missing his accent too for some reason.
Sad Steve didn’t return
Bird went to an accent coach 😂
@@WSendam
Who?
@themadtitan7603 gotham changed him
Roger Craig Smith is honestly an amazing Batman. the amount of raw emotion he puts into the role is unmatched.
May I ask when is the next part? You are the only player who actually knows how to play the game and give a good experience to the viewers. You also actually care about the world and the story. Looking forward to the rest of this series.
i have been checking too ;-;
Depends on when he gets enough footage
was gonna say the same thing, i ve seen others with the full game but i want to watch it here.
@@Relichunters01 Isn't he playing?
@@ValerioToccaceli92 yes. And he still needs to record the footage doesn't he
32:44 Bro, that's Ian Chase! The mobster who killed Clarissa Rodriguez and Horace Riley in Crime Alley back in Batman Arkham Origins!
Batman was especially pissed at that guy.
11:30 Never have I ever thought "Yeet" would make a comeback.
In a prequel Arkham game of all things
Everyone when Jey Uso:
@@juicebox3600 I was thinking the same thing. It's ambiguous when the Arkham series takes place but would that type of slang be popular back then.
God i remember back when yeet first became a thing
@@themadtitan7603According to the wiki, this game takes place in the year 2014 alongside Arkham Origins blackgate.
Stuff like this is why I think the world building in these games fell apart, because Arkham Asylum being set in 2022 makes very little sense to me.
27:24 Deadshot spelling his initials on a target, nice
41:32 “Falcohn” 😂 Tell that to Matt Reeves. He did everything right in The Penguin show except Falcone’s name pronunciation
And Gotham said his name like that too. I guess it’s easier to differentiate from Maroni
I thought "Falcohn" was just the Americanized pronunciation versus the Italian "Falco-nee". Although you got a point about the Reevesverse because even the Falcone family members say it like the former.
@@themadtitan7603yes seems like a ra’s ah ghul thing with the name were Americans get it wrong then pretend it’s the real pronunciation
Except cobblepot diego
@@luisclaudio3576 Yeah, but that was deliberate, Luis
Arnold Wesker is definitely killing his cellmate and blaming it on “Woody”
Guess we now know what happened to Branden after Origins. Just must’ve promoted himself from corrupt cop to corrupt security guard for TYGER
The audio log did detail it.
2:33 My boy Matches Malone. Underrated DC character :D
This game is absolutely incredible. The amount of detail.they put in the story is so much better than i expected
Yeah, I feel the story is shaping up to be on the level of some of the Arkham games if not above some of them thanks to the greater amount of character moments here.
@themadtitan7603 Absolutely 💯. I personally still wish this was on console or on a psvr but regardless still looks amazing
@@philipblaise5166 PSVR ? if you have the psvr2 just wait a bit it will be on SteamVR
This is what we call gameplay Walkthrough..chill gameplay..not dizzy to watch..
The fact that he keeps using the Matches Malone voice even when he's by himself.
I think we just hear his thoughts when he's by himself, and he tries to stay in character
@@adamH.1 His thoughts also being in-character is the strange part for me but it's very Bruce to do so. As he usually almost completely disappears when he inhabits an aspect of his personality.
Really shows the dedication Bruce puts in in order to remain in character. Not even his own thoughts are allowed to reveal who he truly is. Truly playing 4D chess with himself.
The amount of details and connections to Arkham Origin and Cold Cold Heart is so insane and this game is so amazing
27:27 Calendar Girl from Batman: The Animated Series? These developers are not messing around with the deep references
I appreciate when Leslie tells Bruce to speak to her with his real voice lol
49:01-49:11
31:41 nice to see Ferris Boyle again after Cold Cold Heart
Alright dawg I been patient where tf part 3 at……you got the nicest gameplay on TH-cam and I need your Batman content so let’s lock it in.
Also I was kinda jokingly being a dick but I’ve seen some comments and you’ve gotten a bunch of shit actually thrown your way. Hope all is well because I’ve been watching you for years now and I’m sure you will let us know what’s going on when you can. But still lock it in I need your walkthroughs I fr can’t watch other people play
6:53 Zatana must be around the same age as Batman if she’s already here
Yeah maybe if she had been a member of the arkhamverse justice league maybe she would have tried to use her magic or better yet contacted other dc magical heroes like shazam,john Constantine and dr fate to try and find away to free the mind controlled justice league from brainiac instead of killing because since brainiac is a creature of science and zatanna and the other dc magical heroes have magic because magic and science don't mix well together perhaps magic would have been the solution to freeing the league from brainiac control because when wonder woman used her lasso of truth on the flash it almost brought him out of brainiac brainwashing but the lasso of truth wasn't enough so if zatanna,dr fate and John Constantine used their magics maybe it would have freed the justice league without killing them
In the comics, they’re childhood friends, so it checks out
@@Vinesus I mean in the Arkhamverse as well too
@@ieuanrichards8840bro
Not to look down on you or sum but this is the same exact issue with EVERYTHING comics related. The writers involve characters only if they have an interest in the story.
How many times in movies, comics or animation did some characters faced world ending threats alone while the other heroes were just sitting on their asses
@@ieuanrichards8840 Holy shit dude, use some punctuation and spacing if you're gonna type that much lol
I love they put Leslie Tompkins in this and she knows Bruce down to point she like don’t talk like Batman to me lol love that
I can’t believe how good this game is so far and there is still more what a fantastic game man
Thank you for your dedication to bringing us quality Batman Arkham content for over a decade. Playing not as Batman but as Matches Malone, Roger Craig Smith has distinctive timbre and intensity for each of them. I like it.
I like how Falcone has claw marks from Catwoman on his cheek. Nice reference to the comics.
I wonder if this also happened in Year One of the Arkham Batman's continuity.
@@themadtitan7603your in my mindset about Arkham dude, love it!
@@themadtitan7603could be but Catwoman seemed to have become more active in year 3 of this universe so perhaps that during this version of Long Halloween she slashed Carmine when she figures out why she was abandoned as a child.
@@kwayneboy1524 That makes sense. I suppose in this universe she might've started out in Year 2 instead & became more active in Year 3 with the Blackgate takeover. So based on that I think she might've attacked Falcone shortly before/after Origins.
I like how they're including the murderers from the Case Files back in Origins. They had Andrew Carter (The venom thug one) as a phone number too.
Joe is Joe Chill, I’m betting on it. Also the connection between Harvey and Bruce as kids… I’m hoping we see Harvey become Two-Face because that seems to be setting that up
Now that you mention it, him avoiding parts of his parts & saying he's not like "the others" here, I think it's more than likely.
I hope it's a side mystery that can be solved at the end with Batman having some reaction at the end.
They said there's no side missions in this game but it would've been to have one regarding Chill that ends with direct confrontation between him & Batman.
Okay so I wasn’t the only person who thought that.
Side note, the kid that Bats threw through a wall before going berserk in part one might have been Dick Grayson.
@@thelordofchaos-2009I thought the same, they made him seem important (and if I’m not mistaken he had a jacket with a logo for Haly’s Circus)
@@fnraw_flash2064 So in the Arkham Universe, Batman basically meets his first son after beating the crap out of him?
@@thelordofchaos-2009 there's no other "joe" in the batman universe
I need part 3 😭
No one else is good at combat and predator sections 😂
This is such a great game where the devs actually planned and took the time to actually explore the story of the games including the fact that the made references to Arkham Origins Blackgate with Deadshot’s target poster, Joker Teeth, Penguin Cages, and Black Masks destroyable masks. I never thought they would include all the criminals from the case files in Origins. They absolutely cooked this up on a 5 star plate greatest thing we’re gotten since Arkham Knight
They HAVE to remaster Arkham Origins at this point
As they said, they did study the continuity of the Arkham games & it seems particularly Origins got the most display here which is great as it makes it a proper sequel to that game. Also I'd love a flat screen Origins sequel picking up from this alongside that remaster.
0:00 It makes sense that Bruce would try to give first aid to his parents, after all Thomas Wayne was a doctor.
34:42 Bird! A forgetful boss fight but still cool to see him
I remember him as a coordinator in origins multiplayer
You know there's very few adaptations of leslie and even fewer in regards to her helping Alfred raise Bruce. This is first adaptation that shows that she was literally his second mom just like Alfred was his second dad. It's honestly beautiful and really fits the arkham universe when you realize when don't really know the real background when the bruce besides the initiation dlc from origins but that was just one part. Seeing the origin of matches malone is also great cause it's showing how bruce as grown from origins as well but he's still pretty raw. The easter eggs so far is PURE arkham universe love. This is a true Arkham game regardless of VR. This is essentially a year 3 batman and we already get teases of robin too. And BIG SHOUTOUT to roger craig smith. Dude was able to give a matches voice, a batman voice, and a bruce voice and they're all distinct 👏🏾 AMAZING 👏🏾
It's crazy that Harleen actually sounds like a decent psychiatrist in this game.
I was thinking that too. Even in Origins she gave the impression that she wasn't just the mild-manned doctor she comes across. But here she actually seems like serious, empathetic psychiatrist who truly cares for her patients.
It's surreal that this Harleen goes onto poison Dr. Burke & his daughter & overall become the Harley Quinn we saw from the Arkham games & SS:KTJL.
@@themadtitan7603 i dont get why she's so good in this game, even in Origins it's implied she was the one who broke joker out basically starting the riot
1:04:40, that incomplete phrase is part of the prophecy that Azrael told Batman in Arkham City. The "order dedicated to vengeance" Cyrus refers to is the group of Azrael's masters, the Order of St. Dumas.
I thought that what it was because the rune looks like the one you scan in Arkham City for Azrael's mission
This game is fucking awesome. I can't believe we got a new Arkham game and they just put it in VR. Seriously tempting but I will hold out for it to be on other VR platforms.
It's not coming to other platforms which is a shame cuz this game is goated
@@EternalPayne Fr fr, sucks that they're not gonna move it... for now but man it's literally the Arkham game we have wanted since Knight!
I wish it was on PlayStation
Meta funded this and bought the studio behind it. It's not going anywhere else but Meta Quest 3/S
@@G-0bro its only on meta quest its not going anywhere else. i hate when people don’t listen to info about the game
Harleen showing her empathy before being corrupted by the joker is exactly what we needed to make SSKTJL’s Harley more digestible
It's also interesting that she may have started the creation of the Ventriloquist
41:30 Is this a subtle jab at the Reeves’s Batman lol
Please upload more.

Nice. Don’t forget blackgate. It released on the Wii U and 3ds. Still counts in my book
1:37:24 I really like this line. It's almost like a 4th wall breaking moment where Alfred acknowledges it's been too long since we've had a brand new Arkham experience.
"So how do you keep a secret from the World's Greatest Detective? Well, do you know? It’s easy. You stick it right in front of him! Right under his long, pointy nose and wait."

Never thought I’d hear someone say “yeeted” in an Arkham game, ever. That’s crazy !
This game is a Arkham Game in every possible way. The developers did a phenomenal job.
When I saw the shop tutorial appear when talking to Joe, I got really scared thinking that the rest of this game would just be you as Malone in BlackGate, but of course Batman has a secret batcave in the catacombs of BlackGate. They def took a lot of inspiration from Asylum for this game and I love it
I love hearing Harleen Quinzel showing empathy towards her patients. It's also interesting that she may have started the creation of The Ventriloquist
Poor Leslie Thompkins. Can't imagine how she feels about both her boys Harvey and Bruce ending up working outside the law.
Love how she told Bruce to kill BOTH voices. Total mom power.
I can only imagine how she felt about Harvey's turn into Two-Face. It makes the other games mre tragic for me.
And I loved Leslie telling Bruce to quit the voices too. It's such a human moment for Arkham Batman & great display of acting for RCG.
@themadtitan7603 Yeah, but where is Leslie in the future arkham games? They didn't even kill her in this one
I have no way of playing this so I appreciate you for being so thorough in the gameplay I like the Easter eggs like zantannas posters and the flying Grayson's. Awesome vids🙏🏽
This game is phenomenal! The story, the combat, the references, the voice acting, it’s all great; it’s the sequel to origins that I never knew I needed!
Where is Part 3 ???
1:29 IT LOOKS LIKE GORO MAJIMA FROM YAKUZA GAMES
31:53 COLD COLD HEART REFERENCE
1:03:09 AND GOTHAM WILL BURN AND YOU WILL BURN TOO. ARKHAM CITY REFERENCE
I was thinking the exact same thing when he showed up, I was like "What the hell, Majima is in this game?"
0:01
Am I the only one who thinks that young Leslie Thompkins sounds like Morena Baccarin, the actress who played Leslie Thompkins in the 2014 show Gotham
All the lore details so far is awesome they really put the time and care into this game
49:02 like how Leslie was able to tell that matches melone was bruce
we need part 3 bro, everyone else's combat is nowhere near as enjoyable as yours
Walker super chill, starting things off with the fish puns. Honestly, I respect that composure.
I already know he’s gonna do a perfect no hit run of this video but he is the literal Batman of course
1:14:45 man, they're still making creeper references but they one let Ryder go full throttle with it! I bey Creeper DLC missions would've been super fun in any of the arkham games!
This channel's owner might actually be the real Batman. He literally left us like him with 2 parts of gameplay.
1:12:41 Quinzel inadvertently creating Scarface
At 1:04:17, Cyrus Pinkney was saying a line that coincides with the sacred Order of Saint Dumas. Only longtime fans of the Arkham series will know what it means.
Second I saw the rune itself I figured they were tied to Azrael/Order of Saint Dumas. Interesting way to tie it in to this game.
Bros taking so long to upload again I’m just gonna watch someone else been waiting 3 days for part 3
That yamashiro guy lookalike Majima from Yakuza too 😂😂
2:04:24 masive respect to the devs for adding this lol
11:29 Hearing the word "yeeted" in a Batman game is so fucking funny to me idk why
I think you do
I like that a lot of the inmates are people from the detective side missions from Arkham Origins.
Waiting for part 3
release part 3 within 48 hours or ill move on to another playthrough!
Bro it's been almost four days, where's part 3?
Rat King has to be Deacon Black. The cult vibes, blackgate prison overlooking the statue.
Seems like they took it easy with the combat as it no longer has the free flow combat landing each hit on each enemy. That would probably cause some VR players to feel nauseous. Combat is still very good though.
The combat here is exactly like the other arkham games just in vr. Insane combos with having to use certain methods on harder enemy's.
Skip to 0:47 if the last video was just watched.
1:18: Thought this was Goro Majima from the Yakuza games.
Hey, isn't Takeo related to Katana?
1:55: Back to reality. Got a nice nickname in return too.
2:36: I see Batsy's finally gonna meet that head of the Arkham underworld onscreen.
3:30: Again, back to reality.
4:32: Oh, no. We're actually seeing the creation of the Ventriloquist and Scarface.
5:35, 10:14, 27:44 (sort of) and 31:03, 32:41: It's the Arkham Origins Case File guys!
6:30: Harleen Quinzel, I assume.
6:47: Darn, can't wear it.
6:52: At least an old friend is doing fine. Wonder if she'll be Justice League material?
8:00: Noted. Will expect Branden here.
9:17: Oh, Bane's people back in Origins. Ah, yes, that's Andrew Carter the V man from the earlier calls.
13:00: Bruce Wayne on vacay? Classic.
14:39: Heard that.
14:53: Ah, Selina Kyle/Catwoman. She sure got away with it alongside Amanda Waller during the second Blackgate incident, though they at least failed in getting at Bane.
15:45: Got away again. If only Batman got to him back on Christmas Day 2013.
17:23: For the undercover role.
18:37: Called it, here's ex-GCPD Branden.
19:07: Back to reality once more.
(You know, Irving "Matches" Malone sounds more like voice actors Steve Blum and Brandon Keener, less like Roger Craig Smith.)
23:05: ...
23:37: Is this gonna be worth it? Not gonna stay in Blackgate long, after all, Malone.
24:26: What about you, Batman? Doubt you'll be staying in Gotham for more than a decade.
24:44: Back again in reality.
25:55: Concerned for Gotham's youth, hmm?
26:17: Reality returneth. Man, didn't expect Arkham Shadow to have more dialogue choices compared to the other games.
Game sure got generous with the money received for the shop.
27:10: Darn it.
27:13: Sold!
27:20: To remember that brave yet misguided Rat from last time. Sold!
27:23: Which Floyd Lawton? This universe's offscreen black one, or that other Earth's white one whom Batman fought back in Origins?
27:26: The DCAU's Calendar Girl, natch. Sold!
27:39: Deathstroke never actually did go to Blackgate long. He should be part of some Task Force X, before the Joker and also the Scarecrow will hire him for... things. Sold!
27:55: Victor Fries may or may not need this. Sold!
27:59: Poor guy's mask is now permanently fused since the second Blackgate incident.
28:08: Leave it to Camouflaj for referencing Origins: Blackgate lots, despite the game's reception.
31:36: So the "humanitarian" did take a seat after New Year's Eve 2013. Good to know.
34:33: He was one of Bane's toughies, and became a Origins sub-boss battle too. Huh, he sounds different.
35:21: Bane never did come back for his goons (unless we count the defunct Arkham Origins multiplayer as canon still), and he ended up giving up on Gotham City and changing objectives via liberating Santa Prisca come the Arkham Knight era.
35:48: Back to reality once more.
36:36: Sincerely, at least Bane will be long remembered. Don't hear anything about a Rat King in the Asylum to Knight era.
37:03: Reality bites back.
38:08: Hey again, LeBlanc. Oh, he hasn't seen the future Arkham Knight Batsuit yet, man.
39:15: Found 'im.
39:36: Ah, Takeo's outside too.
Shifty guy, Takeo. He an ex-cop or ex-ARGUS?
41:32: The Gotham TV series and The Batman 2022 iterations didn't mind.
44:09: Please don't tell us the player needs the Batclaw to take that out just like in Origins: Blackgate.
44:26: Shite, don't even have a Batsuit for this.
Wait, is Matches Malone using blinding sand as an alternative to cape parrying?
45:34: Ack, a hit!
And another!
That's it, Bolton's next on the takedown list.
46:02: Ah, so that's how Bruce and Harvey first met in the Arkhamverse.
46:24: And Harvey's the reason why this Bruce became enamored of the Gray Ghost. Schway!
47:30: Wait a minute, he has a Big Bad Harv persona too?
47:50: We know that's concerning.
48:05: Back to grim reality.
That spine on the X-Ray... hard to believe Batman survived Bane's signature backbreaker in this universe.
49:01: This is gonna be a classic.
50:24: Not the whole Batsuit?
51:42: Seems Kord knows about Batman's identity. Either that, or he's chill.
53:12: Simon Stagg's company? Outrageous.
Careful, Malone. Who knows if there are secret cameras in every Blackgate cell.
56:54: Yeah, I can believe Scarface is supernaturally inclined.
Even Blackgate has its own emergency Batcave. Heh, if only the player can try to suit up on every Batsuit piece.
59:14: Goodbye for now, fancy bodysuit.
1:00:26: Time won't be wasted somehow.
1:00:42: What a way to tie up loose ends, weirdly enough.
1:01:30: You two will never became a permanent item, Bruce.
1:02:25: Cathartic to not hear much about Falcone and Sal Maroni in the Asylum to Knight era.
1:02:32: Speaking of somebody named Roman, the Rat King can't be Black Mask. He should be busy trying revenge on the Joker since his mask got welded to his face.
1:02:49: Ancient Rune 3 found. Seems we're reconnecting with the long gone Cyrus Pinkney from Arkham Origins again, and curious thing too, since these eerily look like the future Azrael's sigils.
1:06:02: Rat King Idol No. 18.
1:06:19: Discovered Patient Tape about Dr. (Jonathan) Crane/the future Scarecrow and Ben Turner/Bronze Tiger (yes, from Origins: Blackgate). So many audio logs being misplaced and serendipitously found all across time and space. Wait, the latter tussled with the League of Assassins? Gutsy.
1:08:55: Rat Radio No. 12. The hint is adding the numbers to 41.
1:09:30: Rat King Idol No. 19.
1:09:50: Patient Tape about Dr. Harleen Quinzel/the later Harley Quinn and Arnold Wesker/the later Ventriloquist. Interesting seeing a Harleen who actually does her job decently, though I pity what'll become of the latter whilst being concerned about the future of Dr. Crane.
1:13:26: Oh, Ryder wasn't kidnapped or something.
1:18:12: Rat King Idol No. 20.
1:18:58: So true.
1:19:45: Level Up! Chosen Quick Silent Takedown!
1:20:06: Rat Radio No. 13.
1:24:06: Explosive Gel and Batwing, comprende.
1:25:13: Patient Tape about Leslie Thompkins and Carmine Falcone. Thank gosh this game is awesomely showing off those two for this series.
1:27:00: Patient Tape about Leslie and Bronze Tiger. Two things to say; is Bronze Tiger on again, off again with the Squad?
1:28:48, crudely put: Ancient Rune 5 found.
1:33:02: Level Up! Acquired Special Combo Batarang!
1:33:32: I see.
1:33:46: Rat Radio No. 14.
1:35:03: Rat Radio No. 15.
1:35:53: Rat King Idol No. 21.
The Batwing doesn't look like the one from Origins. Far as I can tell, it's becoming like the one from Asylum.
Just point and shoot. Strange Explosive Gel improvement.
1:39:25: A thing from Origins: Blackgate.
1:39:39: Here's to Memory No. 2. Don't remember this Blackgate side game event much, but we do know that Sionis eventually will fall by the hands of the Red Hood... or was that a body double?
1:40:49: Level Up! Picked Explosive Gel Power!
1:40:58: Rat Radio No. 16.
1:42:05: Here's to Memory No. 3. If we see this monster again...
1:44:18: Rat King Idol No. 22.
1:44:36: Here's to Memory No. 4. We are going to miss that persona of Bane. Bullfights against him can become routine.
1:46:06: Patient Tape about Dr. Harleen and this affable old man Joe. That's how it is so: Jungian Shadows.
1:49:13: Ancient Rune 7 found. Is this more of St. Dumas' nonsense?
1:52:16: Ancient Rune 6 found. Of course an Azrael statue showed forth.
1:55:21: Level Up! Disruptor readied!
1:55:46: Rat Radio No. 17.
1:57:11: Rat Radio No. 18.
1:57:42: Rat Radio No. 19.
2:01:17: Smooth and bold.
2:01:25: Oh no! Don't even have a Batclaw yet!?
2:04:18: Don't quote BvS much.
What a boss battle, and a timely Level Up for Disruptor Ammo too.
2:06:18: Rat Radio No. 20.
2:07:46: Why talk about Yorick when Kagemusha and Ran are better?
2:08:00: Ancient Rune 2 found. At least he never lived through computers, what with Henry Cobblepot changing things.
So Barbara was deemed Oracle BEFORE she became Batgirl. Intriguing.
April 20, 1988: that should probably make the Ratcatcher 26 years old as of Arkham Shadow.
2:13:02: ...Farewell, free Wesker. Hello, Scarface...
2:04:16: Unamusingly, Perseus actually didn't have too many bad moments compared to peers Heracles, Aeneas, Bellerophon, Theseus, and many more Greek and Roman "hero figures".
Can't begin to express how great it is to have another walkthrough by Batman Arkham Videos:) Absolutely love it!
(former) officer Branden working at Black gate?? I never expected to see his sour mug here
Bro must be having trouble getting a no hit run with how long he is taking with part 3 😂
bro get the grade soda outa that pork ramen
I agree. That sounds so gross!
Is this the first Arkham game that doesn't take place in 1 night ?
Yes it is
@@chancechamberlain1583 that's crazy. Arkham shadow is different
i remember akrham knight had some flashbacks that dont take part of one night
this is the shit i hoped to see when i refresh my TH-cam page from now on,
