The Arkham Legacy | Batman Arkham Retrospective

"I am the reason why criminals breathe easier when the sun rises" That's my favorite quote of the Arkham series

Bro when that scarecrow part happened in Arkham asylum I had like a mini heart attack when they basically glitched the game

Joker making the Bat who laughs in the comics: I broke him and turned Bats into another agent of chaos. Joker in Arkham Knight: I GAVE HIM CLOWN AIDS

Lazzerz: " I cant wait to see batman return " Gotham knights: haha... no

And I just love the fact that Batman in Arkham Origins is voiced by Ezio's voice actor. Roger Craig Smith has a legendary voice. I think If any one should carry the mantle of Batman's voice after Kevin Conroy it should him.

Players didn’t find the Arkham blueprints in Quincy’s office, the devs revealed it an event as no one found it

For that intro alone, you get a like.

Dear GOD, we all dodged a bullet. EA's Batman would have been filled with grindy repetitive side missions needed to boost your character to an arbitrary level needed to progress the story that in order to avoid all the hassle one would have to purchase XP boosts to speed up the boring process. Either that or they would have implemented something similar to the orc lootboxes in Shadow of War. XD

I adore Arkham Origins. Gotham on Christmas Eve is just awesome. It’s also cool to see the map from Arkham City before it was turned into a prison. Also can’t forget that menu music from Origins. So fucking good.

"you are a young man with a trustfund and a lot of anger". Goddamn it Alfred you got me there

Arkham Origins is such an underrated game. It’s my favorite in the franchise. The voice actors Roger Craig Smith & Troy Baker giving outstanding performances as younger versions of Batman and Joker. I also loved Harleen’s meeting with the Joker before becoming Harley Quinn. Also Bane’s portrayal being an intelligent badass; this game explaining why he is the way he is in Asylum. And Alfred and Bruce’s relationship, from Bruce being too lone-wolf to coming to respect Alfred as his second father, working together as a team. Not to mention the Deathstroke boss fight, as well as Bane’s and Firefly’s! The overall cinematography (like that News perspective of Batman fighting on the roof being one example…) And the overall story in itself chef’s kiss I can go on; so much great stuff in this game. Great job on the video :)

It makes me really sad that people want another Arkham game after the amazing ending and wrap up that Arkham Knight had. I wouldn’t want that franchise to become like Assassin’s Creed where they stop running out of ideas for stories and milk it for money. It was a franchise that had a start and finish, and I deeply respect Rocksteady for knowing when their story was done and calling it quits while they were ahead. You don’t see many gaming studios making an official ending for their games like that.

I remember turning off my xbox and turning it back on only to see that scarecrow thing again. I played other games and it was fine I didn't know until a year later that it was part of the cutscene.

I can't believe you didn't mention Roger Craig Smith as the voice of Batman in Origins. 10/10 for me because you know... I... like... Assassin's Creed? Great video mate, can't wait for the next Arkham release.

Bro Arkham Asylum, City, Origins we’re all great games (haven’t played Knight yet, I have PS3 still) BRO who remembers the killer croc mission in ASYLUM, bro I was so scared to get to that mission so I called my brothers to do the mission for me! The scariest mission in Origins is when bane turned to 100 Arnold swarzenegger’s combined But overall the Arkham games will hold a special place in my heart

map layouts asylum: simple city: more complicated but simple origins: complicated knight: spending 2 hours trying to get to the Arkham knight's excavation tunnel in the Killinger mall

Who would of thought that we have Garry Oldman to thank for Arkham games.

Great retrospective! I love the Arkham games. One of the most influential videogame franchises in recent memory, specially when it comes to the combat. Hate to be that guy, but Arkham Origins actually takes place 8 years before Arkham Asylum not 5. There are some dialoge lines in Arkham Knight that confirm this. Also, about the whole Grapnel Boost continuity error in Origins, the developers obviously didn't want to sacrifice gameplay for continuity's sake, so they decided to put that gadget in the game to make traversing through the city easier. Thankfully, they had the good sense to change its name in Origins to Grapnel Accelerator, so you could technicaly say that its a different gadget altogher (maybe an early and less efficient version of the Grapnel Boost).

When I beat a petty thug, who’s simply guarding a door for Joker, into paralysis below the neck... I really feel like Batman
