*Rich people NEED to stop going into dark alleys.*
shairo perez true
its a cliche now if anymore rich kids see their parents there will be so many batmans!
FOR REALS 🤣😂
It was named crime alley after Bruce's parents died
I know right like geez
Funny how Scarecrow torments Batman throughout the entire game and it turns out Batman is Scarecrows biggest fear
That's why scarecrow does what he does. Years of exposure to his own toxin makes him lack the fear he loves and craves. Batman is the only one who gives him that fear.
+TheMusicMOA funny he resist his own toxin but he gets gets stabbed in the neck with his own toxin and gets baby scared
+ultimate uchiha this was a new strain of fear toxin, it's probably safe to assume he hadn't developed that much of a tolerance, especially for a high dosage delivered straight into the neck
That was really funny, and how he screams at the end hahahaha
People usually try to control what they fear
I didn’t really feel like getting 400 trophies so I watched this instead
exactly
It was like half that, it only took me a couple years to build the motivation to collect them all, just finished it lol
@@kobkmango7267 Dude, same here 🤣
So far ive got ten in the past years ill get there by the time im in a coffin i would say
I tried but it’s bugged for me cuz the bomb rioters won’t load for me
Still cant believe Bruce denied a "good time" with Selina
Yep I was triggered, I couldn’t allow my video game character to get some from catwoman after collecting 240 riddler trophies, smh.
if anything he should boogie one last time with selina since hes going away forever. but instead he had to act tough and give a monologue and leave us with blue balls. damn it rocksteady
He's not a simp.

Crazy how this plot is way better than anything written for the last couple of movies. Such a good ending for what Batman really is.
You mean Justice League and BVS?
@@ThePhoenix1 He said last couple as in Affleck Batman which was pretty dumb
@@ThePhoenix1 might as well be Red Hood's sidekick at that point
so what is Batman?
Such a horrible ending! When he took up the mantle he swear to protect his family
Imagine how terrified the criminals are of the idea of the ghost of Batman prowling the night. It’s genius. A legend on par with Bigfoot or moth man. Something worse than Batman, something feared more, something vengeful
Absolutely spectacular ending. Some of the best I've ever seen in a videogame. Very solid story telling.
A hint toward this theory in the game is the thugs comment “If Bruce Wayne is Batman, who’s playing Bruce Wayne?” The answer, of course, is Batman.
Good thoughts on that. It's either that or a clever AF 4th wall break
He may have been at that point where hush was pretending to be Bruce for a bit
Most likely Hush, as he can easily be mistaken for Bruce
So batman from an alternate universe protects gotham? at the end or is there actually an entity or *ahem* devil called batman?
@@aithanleeom5152 I'm pretty the sure the being at the end is still bruce Wayne, but because of the overdose of fear toxin, he becomes fear incarnate
Bruce knew that killing himself would amplify the fear of batman with the criminals thinking he’s dead
How????
@@ibrahimhanif843 cause if they’re thinking it’s not him it’s got to be something else
@@ibrahimhanif843 something worse
@@SlahDah like a demon or something???
@@SlahDah I get it
Batman was pumped with so much of that fear toxin it just wafts out of his pores now, and affect anyone near him. Like a silent fart.
This comment made my day. Thanks.
@@cornstarchfrenchfries2081 i would love to play another batman game.
@@ayboganhasan3734 the new batman game is coming.
@@jouunoo9365 I need the name
@@baroncandy3939 I think it's Gotham knights
When Scarecrow is injected with the fear toxin and hallucinates Batman, that's exactly what it is. The Toxin would of had no effect on Crane, except he just realised that Bruce Wayne is dead, and the only thing that stands before him is Batman, giving Crane his one and only fear that awoke in him at that moment.
That explains why Batman told Scarecrow that it's not going to end the way he thinks
@@dreademperor2094 funny he freed the very thing he was scared of, ironic
@@JMB_Knight who?
@@dreademperor2094 scarecrow he’s scared of Batman and by putting the fear toxin in him he killed Bruce Wayne but freed Batman
@@JMB_Knight true
This was probably the best ending of a video game I’ve ever played, Rocksteady did an amazing job on Arkham Knight!
My favorite ending has gotta be red dead redemption 2 but this is definitely up there
@@zachterry3605 I still need to finish that game lol
I mean the arkham knight ending is decent but it doesn't really hold a candle to the ending of city

The part about bruce dying then becoming joker and then coming back as BATMAN blew my mind. Thats deep.
Dying*
🤔😬😮🤯
I agree ☝🏼 what a really deep thought
IKR!
Dieing?
Imagine a game where you use the fear toxin to do crazy shit like he did at the end. 100% would play.
Hope they are working on it
Sirius Black they ain’t
@@jarlbalgruuf7701 a man can hope
Sirius Black the problem with a game like this would be it would lose its wow factor quickly you would start as a Batman that is probably open to killing and is already op af, it would be cool but there would be no challenge
Jarl Balgruuf you still thinking that after that one video came out on batman day
either I forgot everything in this game, or I didn't even come close to beating it
It shows 2 different cutscenes depending on if you completed all missions before knight fall protocol or only a few
lol the same was with me like I almost completed it but then I sold the game and moved onto Fortnite 😅
@@thugliger-xo6588 it got boring after awhile to much batmobile love the combat tho.
You probably didn’t beat it you would remember green trophies and riddles, that were such a long progress to get.

Nearly 6 years later and we finally get news of a new Arkham game
It's not an Arkham game. The Arkham Knight's sequel was cancelled. Look up project Sabbath
Gotham knights is not a sequel
@@mattmc9812 It could be that this "knightmare Batman" exists in Gotham Knights, but we're not told about it because we're in the blind just like Gotham city and everyone else
U mean the suicide squad game right? It looks sick
@@guythethird4748 yeah. The Suicide Squad game is set in this Arkham universe
Five years later and still nothing 😢
I can feel you bro.💔
yanigga steve its comin.... look it up
@@shobah2952 They are teasing the game but not revealing it.They could've dropped the trailer on UA-cam.
It's simple. They need movie to release the game. We have no solo bats movie since dark knight and Affleck isnt on Bales level. Sadly im almost sure Pattison cant handle batman aswell. Game based on movie usually takes so much mood from that. So unfortunately i think we have to wait for good batman, but i hope im wrong and producers will handle that ;p
@@KlausVorBimberman I hope you are wrong.
I think Bruce somehow used Scarecrow’s fear toxin in a mix with his own suit. Explains the end there when everything went ballistic.
Small fear gas grenades dropped nearby the criminals, a less lethal version of crane’s formula but still enough to terrify criminals
But what suit he's wearing ? Can you give any clue as to what this new costume would look like?
Something to do with the fear toxic. Though he still in his batsuit but this is what we see in vilains eyes. A haunted bat spirit coming back from the dead.
Or could be worsen. With the toxic infection trough his body. Batman could be crossing the line.breaking his code.
I belive there will be new gameplay of Arkham knight in the near futhure. More to the fear factor.
The Knightfall Protocol is now a reality ... The Batman is gone and nothing but sorrow remains ... RIP Kevin and thank you ... for everything .
Kevin Conroy Was Cremated Just like Joker In the Beginning of Arkham Knight. This is How it Happened, This is How and Why the Batman Died.
....wut?
😆
Kevin Conroy didn't kill himself and is now stalking the streets
@@letusdebatenowHe is using a metaphor
@@AaronsSportsTalktrue
11:30 Notice the subtitles said Batman, not Bruce.
yeah he’s not bruce anymore, he fully became batman
"If Bruce is the Batman then who been playing Bruce Wayne all this time?" 😂 Quoted from the thugs in Gotham
I mean, Tommy elliot did recreate Bruce Wayne's face. They probs just thought that hush was just Bruce.
Hush
U only hear that when at the mission Hush
no maybe after the friend in need misson
Big brain time
He did Knightfall so people/bad guys cant file a lawsuit Bruce Wayne to ruin. lmao
HAHA!
I'd call that an added bonus hehe. Seeing as he wrecked about 1/2 the city in the game lol.
That's actually a good theory!
Batman has crippled hundreds (thousands?) of people just in the Arkham games alone. Much of the time, those beatings were not in self defense (flying off a rooftop and landing on someone... sneaking up behind people and choking them unconscious, etc.).
Bruce Wayne has committed more crimes than most of his adversaries.
Everyone: I wanna be Batman!
Bruce: But do you really tho?
Glutealalgia Support Group in Arkham Origins he took down over 100 thugs on penguins ship so probably over 1000
11:46 I like the detail that Jason painted the bat logo onto his chest, indicating that he has once again taken the oath to be a protector of justice. And now he'll probably be a sort of successor to the older batman(essentially he'll basically be a Thomas Wayne batman but younger)
I think probably the biggest indicator that Batman is still alive is simply the fact that he wouldn’t kill his surrogate father. Alfred was probably the closest thing he’s ever had, he wouldn’t simply let him die
Bruce Can Die... The truth is Batman can't. Batman planted to many seeds for him to die. Night Wing, Oracle, Robin, Red Hood, Azreal and others are out there and doing what they are doing because of batman. Whether one of them ultimately takes up the Primary mantle or not. The Fear that is going to strike many criminals, Many of which probably still have the fear gas effecting them in some way because it's never made clear how long this new strain truely lasts in the system, Is that Even with Batman dead they are far from free to run rampant. Those others have been taking them down very successfully for a long time. Even against some of Batman's traditional big villains.
So we're left with How much can we trust what we see exactly in that ending.
So bruce wayne is physically alive , not mentally.
And the batman has taken over
Bruce Waynes's mind
Wait so does that mean Batman would kill with he would want to
@@edgyboi1995 there is no more Batman games.And the scary Bats at the end is Terry in the beyond suit.That scene is after some time, years actually.All the robins are doing their thing , Gordon is mayor , etc.
If that was terry you do realize Gordon would been dead right lol
@@gabrielmajin5265 we will find out in the next game hopefully
Terry who?
I'm also liking how the plot of the Arkham series runs in a different parallel with the Christoper Nolan series. In the Dark Knight series Batman despite being afflicted by his parents death, still wanted to live as Bruce Wayne in the end, which happened along with Selina. By your explanation, the Arkham series makes it into a different parallel where because he was so afflicted by his parents death. Bruce Wayne decided to "kill" himself to fully embrace Batman with the modifed fear toxin and all and to also protect his allies.
But boths endings made Batman a legend.
Well, he was forced to denounce Bruce Wayne and Batman since the cat was out of the bag.
I don't know what Wayne I love more. The one who sacrificed batman to live a normal life or the one who sacrificed Bruse to be a better Batman forever. On the big screen he had no life because he felt the needed to be Batman to protect Gotham. In the game we saw more scenes of him being Bruce because he wanted to give Gotham hope. Regardless they are good representations of Batman. That's wy he will always be my favorite hero
The legend of Batman lives but the person behind the cowl died. And I'm not talking figuratively.
better than DCEU
I always love the part where batman says 'I AM VENGEANCE! I AM THE NIGHT! I AM BATMAN!' It feels like a heroic comeback but... I never really wanted bruce wayne to die what if maybe the fear toxin shut down bruce wayne but instead Batman is still alive
SAME HERE BATMAN BECOME VENGEANCE...
Im so glad to have seen this video. Because it actually makes since. With everyone thinking that batman and bruce Wayne is dead then batman can really cause some havoc on Gothams criminals while bruce Wayne can still live without people thinking he's actually still around just because they think they saw him blow up. And in my opinion I honestly love that batman is using fear toxin now. So those criminals who are having those encounters with him spread the urban legend of an unstoppable "Undead Batman" still hunting those who do wrong in his city.
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Fitting aint it?
HOLY S*** I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT
Hey, i said that before you! 😠 THIS BATMAN IS BETTER THAN YOU!
+Supreme did you not watch the Dark Night Rises Movie?
+Batman ' the only comment of you that I found so far is; "Music please" ;) So uh... Well fought, I concede
+Supreme Well, technically in the end, he.... Was a villan. Dont ask how cuz its hard to explain.
You're explanation didn't make sense until it clicked: the mind of Bruce is literally gone, only batman is left
Jake Pfander so now he’s just a dark scary hero
Jake Pfander Yeah he went from 50% Bruce Wayne 50% Batman to 100% Batman because his identity is shat on
let me further say that would make a great game if they did do another one. i know they said no more but if they did. that would be fucking awesome i think.
@@rolandofgilead43unfortunately, no
I’m still confused, is the joker a version of Bruce Wayne or is Bruce just imagining himself turning into a ruthless killer?
The joker and batman is the same kind of madness, but batman did the imposibile and hid as a normal person. If you look at the end of «the killing joke» you will understand this. But batmans biggest fear was being a murderer
Bruce just imagining himself turning into a ruthless killer
@@saminahsan477 no he did not he is a joker
Joker represents Bruce biggest fears. That he could cross the line and kill.
When he locks the Joker up he's overcoming his fears. But Crane's right, no one can live without fear. Just because Batman could overcome his fear and thus the toxin, it doesn't mean he can never be affraid anymore. That's why I strongly believe that Batman, as a legend lives but the person behind the cowl died and not just figuratively.
He knew he could cross the line. He knew that his very existence would always put the ones around him and Gotham at risk. He knew no matter how many times he put his enemies in jail, they would eventually escape or come out and come back for more.
At that point, Batman as a person could no longer protect Gotham, so he had to go. For real.
Think about it like this: Bruce's mind is divided in 2 personalities, Batman and Bruce Wayne. In the beginning of the game, when Batman gets infected by fear toxin, a third personality is born, and it's the Joker. So now his mind is divided in 3 (Bruce Wayne, Batman and Joker). When he is infected again by Scarecrow in the ending, Joker takes over Bruce's body. But, at the end, Batman uses the same fear that brought Joker back to life and eliminates him. But, at this point, the Bruce Wayne personality is too damaged, so Batman has to get rid of it by faking his death. So, at the end of the game, in Bruce's mind there is only 1 personality left: Batman

This is a 3 year old theory, I just watched it. It checks out. Really good evidences.
I agree
The only thing I'm still hung up on is the fact that the exact moment the door on Wayne mannor shuts, is the same moment that the explosion happens
Jake little Same, I still don’t understand it, but I have an idea that there’s a floor that just opens right under them so they can make it out in time, but then again it’s almost instance when he closes it
4 year old theory now 😂
Just replayed the whole series because I was feeling nostalgic, I watched this again after a long time, and actually did some research, in a reddit post, the creative director Sefton Hill did an AMA and said his favorite part of Arkham knight was the ending "Knight: I liked the very end! When Batman is left with no other option, he still manages to find a way out. To become an even more badass version of Batman."
This explanation makes all senses after I read The Dark Knight Returns, especially the Batman's personality, where it shows that the character cannot help being Batman, because that is what he really is. And he is willing to risk everything in his life to keep his promise and protect Gotham. Nice work, Kwing.
Another minor thing is that if he was going to commit suicide why also kill Alfred. He’s most likely acting as his tech guide as he does for a majority of the story without oracle
I need more of these games but just lose the rilder trophies, jeez
saberline152 i want to play this Game 100% but jesus, riddler trophies?!
I think it is Terry from Batman beyond
I agree jesus christ with ridler trophies. Most annoying thing in this game franchise.
zommer 89076 Rodeo terry is batman beyond
It's okay, everyone does
Bruce Wayne died with his parents. Bruce Wayne decided to be a symbol of hope for people like him, people who have lost everything and he would be vengeance. Batman became the real him, and Bruce Wayne became the mask. Try as he might be couldn't keep both as one, Bruce Wayne needed to die for good, and Batman needed to be free.
Thomas B. Munchausen is just so messed up to now see the human being (Bruce Wayne gone for good) to only release the inner beast inside the bat. Batman
@@mememan4946 Why so serious?
Meme Man “edgy” who says kys still 🤣🤣
I seen furry pic and i was like hell nah
in the dark knight rises, batman dies so bruce wayne can live.
in arkham knight, bruce wayne dies so batman can live.
I just realized the press see everything from 11:50 onward until Scarecrow knocks down the camera, they see stone cold batman inject and hit scarecrow with the one liner
Great video and you NAILED IT.
This is absolutely Frank Miller's "DARK KNIGHT RETURNS" ending come to fruition. Being even "less high profile" than Batman, tearing it all down and going into the shadows permanently to lead a formless mysterious army.
Great video and brilliant game. Outside of the Riddler padding, it was all perfect to me
This was a fantastic ending, hands down.
As an avid batman comic reader, lover of the movies, and ESPECIALLY these games, I take absolutely no shame in saying this ending damn near brought tears to my eyes.
Great theory bro
So that's it ? Batman is gone forever ?
No, it's not Batman that's gone forever. It's Bruce Wayne.
At the very end Batman is either still post-mortem personification of fear and the scene is a metaphor or, more likely, it's literal - Bruce cuts his ties to anyone close to him so that they can't be used to get to him, and bereft of weaknesses Bruce had is playing the personification of fear, is back to being an urban legend, is full-time vigilante. The fact he's using the fear toxin is of notice, but isn't the most important thing.
Alfred probably gave in to help Batman (as opposed to Bruce) or he's living the last of his days somewhere reclusive and with great vistas, but I'd bet on the former.
redrubix Teared up a little also i had a Great run with this Epic series I applaud rocksteady as a batman fan i will miss this series so much.
lindon zeqaj u really dont follow batman much do u? Hellooo, he hasnt even joined Justice League yet, or bear Damian Wayne with Selina Kyle. Trust me he's far from dead
Raven Sixx Damien's mother is Talia, not Selina, so...
Always looked up to Batman, always respected him and admired him, as Batman is not a person, he is an idol, a symbol, and that is far more important than Bruce Wayne, he knew that from the very beginning.
I agree

Which is nonsense lol
I watched this video a couple years ago and it was really informative. I had beaten the game but not 100% and I wasn't planning to, so after watching the missing cutscenes, I decided to watch this video. For some reason I found an interest into Batman: Arkham Knight again, and so I return. Time for Round 2...
How'd it go?
@@mraaronludwig It went really well! I enjoyed playing through the game a second time! I don't usually do multiple playthroughs but in this case it was a fun experience!
Thank you for explaining, I was looking for a video like this!
Imagine that the epilogue scene was actually decades later and the batman figure in the end is batman beyond
I rly hope they would make a new arkham game
@@jasperkautiainen5445 they were. And recently they announced it was cancelled. I bet u Disney is behind this. Idk. I just dont like Disney. Star Wars was enough to set my respect off from Disney
that would be weird but I dont think so bc they wouldve been scared of the new batman (beyond)
Personally, I don't think that this "batman beyond" takes place 2 decades later. It's too long, Gordon should be dead at that point. I'm guessing 2-5 years where batman beyond is much closer, and he has been trained by his apprentices between missions or Batman himself after his supposed death.
Epic-Fictional Projects Disney has nothing to do with the Batman Franchise. If the game was cancelled, it would have been cancelled by Rocksteady/Warner Bros.
that's just.... sad. being batman full time, having a meaningless life due to no fear whatsoever, not associating with your friends anymore; it's hell.
its as they say and i quote from the dark knight rises " you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
I feel so bad for Bruce
+Yukito Kunisaki no that's from the dark knight
yeah but i honestly thought that the quote kinda fitted with this game
Yukito Kunisaki no I get what you're saying, what I'm pointing out is that you said it's from the dark knight rises when it's actually from the dark knight
5 years later and I still love this theory
The fact the Arkham City skin was used in these cutscenes ..... I nearly cried cause the Arkham series started when I was just 5 ... now I’m 16 in 2021 getting ready for suicide squad game ... damn ima miss this series
Every true Bat fan knows that The Batman and Bruce Wayne are 2 very different people. With Bruce gone, THE Bat is truly unleashed.
I support this theory.
HOW????? Bruce Wayne is batman edit:wait I get it now
Naa.. bruce is not something that keeps the bat back... bruce is a mask/resource that batman wears for gotham.. with bruce gone, bats lost one of his resourcesful mask.. bat is not truly unleashed, just merely need to adopt different approach..
Tell me how I'm confused
I support but like I'm dumb
@Hush • LMAO ikr I dont know man it's like I dont know him anymore
"The Knight falls and from its ashes, a fearless bat shall rise."

Imagine if Alfred was the "batman"
LOL
Batfred
He would get all the girls
i mean he beat superman
Just once he'd like someone to believe that.
I love how you said Batman is back to where he started, an urban legend.
Bruce Wayne is still alive. He is hiding in his bat cave all safe.
Here’s what I think what if Batman faked his own death because people knew that Batman was really just Bruce Wayne so the people think Bruce Wayne is dead but he is really just Batman without people knowing that he’s still Bruce Wayne because they think Bruce Wayne is dead and I mean who else would play as Batman why would Bruce tell Jim to trust him and Jim actually unmasked him either way if Bruce killed him self that would be his crossing line because yeah it’s not murder but it’s suicide so it’s still killing and besides it’s Batman he knows what he is doing, he smart enough to not to kill himself, he is always one step ahead
that was excellent i've been watching your videos for a long time they are amazing
They should do one last edition called *Batmam: Beyond Arkham* that would be epic, introducing Terry McGinnis
Why Is My Face So Ashy: I have actually had this same exact thought. We need a Batman Beyond game. Beyond Arkham is also a perfect name.
It's gonna be called Batman: Apocalypse or something like that
No but if Amanda Waller exists in the Arkhamverse, then Terry very well could exist.
Ya like with batman beyond!
Maybe terry could be the bad guy but at the start be a protosesor of Bruce then turn bad after his brother and mother being murdered with Bruce coming back in a dark knight returns fashion to defeat terry. Called Batman the future of Arkham
Wait wait wait, so people actually thought that he died and didn't fake his own death? Jesus Christ, talk about missing the obvious.
Casper Dar who said that he died?
I think mostly was missing out on who really is the Bat at the very end
Casper Dar I believe he is dead because for one the whole house blew up and 2 operation knight fall is most likely named that as the death of Batman
Yes, Batman would absolutely give his life to protect his family and innocents without question. He does it every day. But bringing Alfred along with him? His father figure and innocent human being? That is not Batman. In any sense.
Casper Dar A
I really hope that Batman doesn’t really die he’s a good character and I with they bring out another (probably won’t tho 😩)
This is not only the best UA-camr but this for me is the best video ever made on UA-cam
Thanks
2 possible endings:
1.the ending cutsene is an exaggeration it Is a metaphor.(batman is back)
2.the ending cutsene is in the this thug's minds,
modified toxin used against enemies also meaning batman is back
Mr. Ruiz so batman is back?
or it could be the effect of the cloud burst
because some of the criminals in the game say that they still have the effect of cloud burst
but I hope you're theory is right batman is my favorite super hero I don't want him to die T-T
TheBeginning OfTheMeme he is obviously not dead
Or maybe he is Jason Todd with the fear gas
After being heavily injected with the fear toxin, Bruce started to speak with his "batvoice" as I noticed. So maybe it means Bruce completely lost the "Bruce Wayne" mind and he completely became The Batman.
YEP!
Bruce Wayne was just a mask, an act, Batman is who he truly is
A smelly Taco they’re both masks, but you can’t have one without he other. Bruce Wayne needed batman just as batman needed Bruce Wayne. They’re both different identities and personas. However at the end of Arkham knight Bruce Wayne was no longer needed anymore to ensure barman’s survival. Bruce sacrificed his humanity in order to fully dedicate himself to being legend
@@danm9474 that makes sense, i also think that blowing up of his mansion was symbolic of getting rid of or letting Bruce Wayne "die" off.
Also the subtitles say batman instead of bruce Wayne
Very nice Video. Good job bro
One theory I talked about with my friend was that he has so much for your tocsin injected into him that it actually became part of him, almost like it made him meta-human. Almost like he can actually admit the fear toxin just by being present. Basically transforming home from a man playing a nightmare to just being a plane ole nightmare
Another great theory. I like this one as well.
Beautifully done. I agree 100% we finally have The Batman.. no longer held back by Bruce Wayne. Now he can be The batman 100% of the time.
Yep and he has the fear toxin to his advantage.
How he gonna afford everything now, he isnt gonna have Bruce Wayne to support his gadgets and stuff now
person 57 he was rich so he’s probably got some sort of cave underground with most of his money
Wait, isn't the reason Batman doesn't kill because Alfred always told Bruce not to?...that would mean Bruce was the only thing stopping Batman from killing therefore Batman is now free to kill if he wishes.
@@rellikricky9152 Batman set rules for himself. He swore to never become something that killed his parents, even Batman gets torn apart by remembering that.
In the dlc "a flip of a coin" you can hear two face's guys talking between them about how 'the ghost' took out another thug at the docks days prior to the events in the dlc, pretty obvious hint that the 'ghost' is batman, who is using a lower dosage or modified version of cranes fear gas to scare the living crap out of goons, to become more that just the batman, to be a true myth or legend... something more.. something worse... anyone who hears about it just thinks its crazy talk.. but criminals being a 'superstitious and cowardly bunch' will be frightened by this new myth stalking the shadows... the ghost of the batman.. unending vengeance...
part of me wants to believe that knightfall batman does actually have these powers, just think how cool of a game that would be. Arkham: KNIGHTFALL
Well said
yeah but we all know that he is using Crane's fear toxin but low enough that it won't kill anyone.
It's probably a mixture of fear gas and a new Batsuit.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Bruce hired Lucius as a permanent tech developer. After all, Wayne Industries isn't important post Knightfall.
I think that in the nightfall ending its not Bruce or Batman but a mixture of Batman and the Joker's cruelty, as using the fear toxin is symbolic of him becoming one with the Jokers cruelty and still being a vigilante, as from the ending I always took it he kills those criminals. Basically he's proven himself as a killer in his subconscious, and the cruelty of the Joker is something he now controls instead of the other way around.
You described this so well, I'm surprised.
This makes a lot of sense but... What if Superman got really bored and decided to be Batman just for the lolz

If he's back to where he started, than he's definitely coming back when he's older.
Batman: Something darker...
My Mind: The Spirit of Batman? Bat Shadow? How about Knightmare?
I can't believe 4 years later I'm still watchin this!
Same bro....same
🤣🤣🤣
5
yessir 5 yrs
😂
This is probably one of the best explanations we could ask for.
Unbelievable!! Great analysis!!
I still watch this bro good shit bro keep going GOD IS WITH YOU HE MAKES EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
GUYS IT'S OBVIOUSLY ALFRED.
Wy Alfred
you know what Alfired no joke in the 40's did go out as batman for a nite it was a really good Alfred story back when Alfred had his own little story in the 40's.
No, it’s clearly Barbara,
Jose Mariano Castillo Torres that would be cool but it's not
Guys I made an error. It's actually bat-cow
I believe that Batman is using a toned down serum of cranes toxin by using the sample he had collected at the start of the game he knew the the very compounds that make it and even if he were to use the normal state of the toxin itself it does naturally wear off he also says after saving Selena he says Gotham needs a “worse” as in more dangerous tactics such as using the toxin and that is something he can’t be “right now”
I just remember he used it in the dark knight returns on two face thugs
I love this channel never stop time is always moving imagine urself in a month or year
I just finally replayed this and 240% it. Love this game man
Bruce: Activate knight fall protocol
Alfred: Ok sir...shall we hide in the bat cave and fake your death?
Bruce: sure
*DROPS IN THE BATCAVE*
love the line at the end. "Batman can go back to being an urban legend again." that is the perfect way to sum up that theory!
Awesome video 👍
This was perfect. Really cleared up the ending for me
To be honest I think the reason Bruce wayne didn’t die is because he went into the bat cave with Alfred then he activated the knightfall protocol
Anyone agrees?
SO TRUE!!
Nope because the power of the explosives would cause the manor to cave in on the entire bat cave
No, because the manor explodes like 3 seconds after Bruce entered the manor
I think something like that happen, but when looking at the cutscene, as soon as Alfred shuts the door, the house blows up, so the window of time they have to move to safety, is extremely small
Aubelazo finally someone knows
I bat punched the like button and now my screen is cracked :'(
Should have had a "Bat case" on that phone man.
You must have a "Bat-Case" of anger issues.
This was probably the best assessment of the end I’ve heard
Good video. Definitely the best theory I’ve heard or can think of. You explained it great and I can’t disagree with you at all. Good job bud
Litterally just finished the game with 100% completion and this is what I have to say...
1. Thank you Rocksteady & Edios!!!
2. Batman is totally alive...he would never risk Alfred's life
3. The arkham knights identity was way too obvious
4. BAT TANK
5. Fck the riddler for all those damn trophies...even thoe I will do it again for 240% completion...I mean come on...that golden bat symbol is boss!!
6. MARTHAAAA!!!! WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAMEEE!!!
7. I dont know what to do with my life anymore....
Danny Polanco ya fhete game is too good to end but glad on March 8th Montreal is gonna announce a new Batman game or they are just remastering Arkham origins
Danny Polanco I love how you put different lines from movies and games
BAAAATTTT TTTTAAAANNNNKKKK
You should go play Batman Arkham Asylum and start all over the whole series until you finish again
Danny Polanco He said Martha to activate the Knightfall Protocol obviously. Anyone like the superman reference? I thought it was funny
I have seen a number of theories about knight fall, but this one is by far my favorite explanation. Upon reflection, I have been sold on your logic. In the last scene with scarecrow, he is not wearing the cowl physically, but he might as well be. One factor that you didn't mention that I think is noteworthy is the nature of the Scarecrow. According to his bio in the game, Dr. Crane is addicted to fear, but prolonged exposure to his own toxin has rendered him immune to his own toxins, and unable to feel the fear he craves. The Scarecrow just wasn't scary enough. There was only one thing that could still potentially scare him.... the Batman. By destroying Bruce Wayne, the Scarecrow has unleashed a terror that even he, the self proclaimed master of fear, is afraid of. Which, on a subconscious level, was exactly what he wanted.
The true Batman, much like the true Joker, transcends flesh and blood.
We would've had the Batman Who Laughs if Joker won.
I really like this but i honestly feel like the devs just forgot about scarecrows bio in asylum
Awesome observation! But I always thought that was silly with batman, I mean what are they afraid of exactly? Batman doesn't kill, so what are they afraid of getting locked up?!
@@blaketerry3778 the bios in Asylum are all a bit loose tbh. A lot of things in later games have retconned Asylum's character bios
Rob Rat yeah its a shame
Great breakdown.
Well you just got my subscription to this channel
I like how Bruce made his new identity what he originally intended the Batman persona to be. He wanted criminals to believe that Batman was an unstoppable supernatural bat creature who came out of the night to punish criminals. Obviously that mystique and psychological warfare became less and less effective the longer he was Batman because more people realised he was just a normal human man with great fighting skills and gadgets. So since he couldn't scare criminals anymore after Scarecrow revealed his identity he faked his death, went into hiding, put together his new "Ghost" persona as it's called in some of the DLC's and probably used fear gas to make criminals think that his ghost was haunting them restoring his status as a mysterious urban legend and causing the criminals to fear him again. And the fact that the first crime he stops is a mugging similar to his parents murder is fitting and brigs it full circle. Bruce probably saw the crime happening and thought "No this isn't happening again." He was there for that family the way no one was there to help his parents.
Would have been GREAT if the devs rewarded the player with the Nightmare Batman costume after 100% completion! Then we would know for a fact that we were free-roaming AFTER the game and not separate from the game. Not been a fan of bland free-roaming when there is no point, or costume, to it!
Oh ya, he did not want a new batman to start up from that crime!
Yeah he said the problems he is been through doesn't want people to go through them...again
It has been confirmed that Batman faked his death and became an even cooler version of Batman
julian bui They dont understand it they're stupid xd
Who doesn't understand the other people?
julian bui I dont know but we all know that Batman fakes his nearly everytime
Yeah true
show me source
Man, This was the True Ending to Arkham Batman. I can’t believe nothing happened after this
I still love that Batman literally banishes Joker and the physical poisoning of his body (infected blood AND fear toxin) with literal sheer willpower through an internal mental battle. It's quite literally the personification of "I am Batman" and I totally buy it, lock stock and barrel.
I just beat this game and I have to say this is one of the best games I ever played... I was sad when the world knew who batman was.. I do agree with your hypothesis about this game
This brings back so many memories of Arkham Asylum and City! oh no now I'm starting to cry! 😰😰
They are remastering it for next gen
+Kakashi Hatake it's been indefinitely delayed :/
I smell a bad unfinished port
Tbh, I played batman arkham asylum through 3 times...
But after that game I played part of the way through origins and city then never played knight...
I just lost the time investment these games take to be dedicated towards them to really appreciate them I guess,
And origins
Batman is still alive, that's all I needed to know
Edit:
Thanks for the Likes 😁
Yep. He was just reborn.
When I’m watching this, it’s been 7 years since this video came out. And I think this is the best and most accurate and logical theories about the ending and I love it
