50:04 It's funny she said that because Deadpool was actually a direct ripoff of Deathstroke. It is fully confirmed and even Deadpool's name was a copy from Deathstroke. Deathstroke's name is Slade Wilson and Deadpool's name is Wade Wilson. Their personalities however are polar opposites.
Not rip off, parody
All of that was intentional
@@cookiesnugglez7318nope parody is one time joke, when you branch a franchise out of a parody it becomes a rip off. that's exactly what they did with deathstroke. they "thought" they fixed deathstroke in deadpool.
They just added powers on top of his mercenary story.
Carnage was designed to be marvels joker
They brothers from other mothers
The only Arkham game that respected Bane and Deathstroke
So true, plus they had some of the best boss battles as well.
Amen!!!! I agree! 🙏🏽💪
Hear hear!
And the only Arkham game that has the best boss fights out of all of them.
@@anthonywhite9701A real crying shame that there was no option or game mode to go back and refight them.
Roger Craig Smith did an amazing job voicing Batman!
Facts! I want Roger Craig Smith to voice Batman more often
Yes I love the gritty tone👍
Since Kevin passed, I think Roger or Troy Baker should be the main picks to voice Batman
Also known for being the voice for Chris Redfield from the Resident Evil franchise.
@@joejrjohnston1001 And as Sonic the Hedgehog
This game can easily pass as a blockbuster Batman movie
My favorite Batman portrayal
Fun fact: The voice actor for Deathstroke (Mark Rolston) is the same voice actor for Norman Osborn from the Insomniac Spider-Man games.
Nah dats insane lmaoo
Now that you mention it, I did recognize that voice from somewhere
Interesting
17:19 The developers purposely made Batman more acrobatic and lean in this game to emphasize on his youth. He has a lot of the same moves in combat, but they’re animated in a way that shows that he has a lot of energy but he’s also less refined. Great stuff
Killer Croc was a regular person born with an extreme form of an medical condition which caused his appearance to develop progressively into that of a crocodile, hence his name which is why he looks different in the other games. Waylon was put under the guardianship of his incredibly abusive and alcoholic aunt after his mother died giving birth to him and his father had abandoned him. Waylon had no friends, and was the object of constant ridicule of those who knew him and as a result he grew to resent all of humanity. Arkham Origins has honestly the best design for the character as it's the one most faithful to Croc's original appearance in the comics.
He looked like a monster, so they treated him like a monster. Then he became a monster.
And along the way, people experimented on him, which only worsened his condition and made him look more like a beast, which drove him more over the deep end.
@@otakuwolf4ever985 That is way down the line and in this universe that doesn't happen until Arkham Knight. Don't spread misinformation.
Oops, my bad. @@The_Phantasm
Yeah from Origins all the way to Knight his appearance becomes more and more Crocodile like because of his genetic mutation progressing more and more.
So this is a different voice actor for Batman. This is Roger Craig Smith, while the other games were voiced by the late Kevin Conroy. Roger Craig Smith does an incredible job as a younger Batman, and I remember people were really skeptical about him taking the role. Also, it's funny you say Deathstroke reminds you of Deadpool because Deadpool is actually a parody of him. You can tell by their names, Deathstroke's real name is Slade Wilson while Deadpool's is Wade Wilson
No its Troy baker lol
@@kanchansrivastava7912 Troy baker voiced Joker not batman
@@TrueNegative420 he voiced both go and watch buddy
@@kanchansrivastava7912 I watched. Roger Craig voiced batman
@@TrueNegative420 ok i just checked it and you are right i was wrong i accept my failure 😞
This game was definitely underrated when it first came out. More recently however people have gone back to this game and have praised it for its great story and amazing performances and it has in my opinion the second best story in the series with the first being Arkham City. It also has the best and most accurate depiction of Bane ever outside the comics.
Agreed 👍
i agreed with every point u made here, Arkham origins was amazing. People only hated on it bc it wasnt made by rocksteady and didnt have the original voice actors etc
@@kavins7103 Yup, it always went down to these two points. Some people made some good points as to why they didn't like it "as much" as the others, however those that argued it was overall bad.. had ridiculous points.
@@Erebus008 Exactly, it will be always be my 2nd favourite game of the series, story wise. Arkham city is 1st.
Origins has indeed the second best story, but the best one is Knight, not City.
The opening cinematic was just the trailer for the game. The moment where we see the bats on the ceiling in the batcave is where the game starts.
events in the trailer take place shortly before the start of the game
That trailer went hard asf 🤣
whats interesting is that the reason batman has an armored suit is a testament to his youth in this game (hence origins). he's younger, wants to be a tank rather than a myth.
At the beginning, it wasn't Arkham Asylum, the prison is called Blackgate Prison.
Batman is definitely not voiced by the same actor in this game he’s voiced by roger craig smith and in all of the other games he’s voiced by the late kevin conroy
30:06 The Riddler is in every single Batman Arkham game and is one of the best most memorable parts of the games. Unfortunately the videos of the previous games that you watched cut out the parts with him. Oh and in case you were curious, the reason the Riddler uses the alias "Enigma" in this game is because this name is Edward Nigma.
I thought the joker wanted to say that word
Ironically Edward was a cop before deciding to become the Riddler…
As the name implies its his first and second year as batman which is why he's rough and aggressive against enemies and that's also the reason why his suit is more armored because he's still relatively new to his role in Gotham. So he thinks about protection more than mobility. In Arkham City Alfred asks him if he's ever considered a bigger belt when he calls for one of his gadgets. He responds that he has but it was too heavy and slowed him down
20:27 Fun fact: Someone from Marvel was a fan of Deathstroke and Spider-Man and created Deadpool. They even have a similar name. Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, Wade Wilson/Deadpool.
However, even though their both antiheroes, Deathstroke usually remains the villain. Another difference is that Deathstroke is more serious than Deadpool.
Guys, absolutely do not forget to watch the Cold, Cold Heart DLC as well. It will give you some much needed info about Mr Freeze.
One thing I really appreciate about this game is that it gave alot of overlooked batman villains thier due and I always thought that was cool.
Fun fact: Deadpool is actually the copy of Deathstroke for Marvel
This game truly made you feel like Batman. The way they tied the cutscenes into the actual gameplay made the whole thing feel like a movie.
They made Batman over powered way beyond what he was capable of in Arkham Asylum, and reused half of the Arkham City map, but it was a damn fun game. Been playing it recently on a PS3 emulator and it is something else when running at max power.
Fun fact about the map in this game. Half of it later becomes Arkham City! It’s crazy how they kept the same layout from that game and how everything aged in the timeline
"Who is the Joker?"
After this, Bruce. . .your worst nightmare.
8:26 It's a different voice actor. Roger Craig Smith is voicing Batman in this game. He also voices Captain America in Avengers cartoons and Chris Redfield from Resident Evil 5 & 6! 🙏🏽💪
Don’t forget Ezio Auditore.
If you're a Naruto fan, he also voiced Deidara
Honestly guys dont be worried about getting things wrong, in terms of names and whatnot. We were all there at one point so just guess away and it'll be fun when you find out
Fandoms can be toxic so I understand why they didn't want to mispronounce names
This was a proper Arkham game. At the time, Arkham fans were more caught up with the fact that Rocksteady didn't produce the game than with the quality of the game. Most of the complaints were just unjustified nitpicking.
Arkham Origins is my second favorite Batman game of all time.
In this game batman is a younger, angrier batman. This is why he has such a mood throughout the game and is more impatient and brutal. Think of it as the time before he matures.
Wade Wilson is deadpool s name and Slade Wilson is deathstroke s name , just a fun fact
One of my favorite games ever. Batman meeting the Joker for the first time and sparking his obsession with the Batman is top notch story telling. Two sides of insanity trying to influence and corrupt the other
Deadpool was created as a parody of Deathstroke actually
This game really went into detail with the detective mode
this game is so underrated!
Facts
I agree with you! This game was very underrated!
this was my first batman game, so i love it from the bottom of my heart
Make sure you watch the dlc story for this game called "Cold Cold Heart"
Arkham Origins has the best investigation scenes in all of the series. 🙂 It also has some solid boss battles and is generally a very good game. I think the reason it got worse reviews than the others is that when it released it apparently had quite a few bugs, and even now sometimes the physics in the fights is slightly wonky. But overall it's a pretty great game!
The Deathstroke boss fight is one of my all time favorite boss fights. It kept me on my toes and made me strategize like I was playing Street Fighter or MK.
Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke is actually the arch nemesis of Nightwing and the Titans. He's rivalry with Dick Grayson who is the first Robin and now Nightwing is one of the best in comics.
What about Arrow?? Have you seen the tv series named Arrow?? Slade wilson aka Deathstroke was best portrayed in that series in my opinion... And he was Arrow's arc villain... He had a few crossover with the Flash tv series also... He was there with his whole backstory and was portrayed most humanly possible.... Loved that... Deadshot was there also....
Fun fact - Arrow was mostly like batman, rich kid lost dad and gf stranded on an island met deathstroke met Ras al gul got martial art training in nanda parvat also like batman got back to his city and Arrow begins!
@@SuperRAJORSHI That show did a terrible job of portraying its characters accurately to the comics. If you think that is the best portrayal of Deathstroke or Green Arrow then you probably have never read a comic book. Also it seems like you just copy-pasted an article from a wiki
@@The_Phantasmwhere did it say on Arrow that it was specifically adapting to its comic’s versions?
@@Wicked084 you said my answer brother...
@@Wicked084I believe they are replying to the fact in the post it said "best portrayed" and in most cases that implies that it is the most accurate version of a character. Arrow never promised to be comic accurate but saying this is the best portrayal of the character is a bit asinine in that regard. Had they said "I liked how he was on Arrow, there he was..." I think the reply would have been different.
Just FYI, you guys skipped the DLC for Arkham City.
Here hoping they react to it and the cold cold heart dlc
about that people that died at the trailer with the gun, well he had like 2 seconds to get out and as much as he'd like to save them, he's not The Flash, quick thinking made him realize that dying trying to save them wouldn't be of any use
regarding to the game itself, it has some technical issues, the Riddler's side quest missions and map design isn't near as good as the games made by Rockstady; that being say this one has the best character development, engaging story and great cinematic narrative, i'd say is criminally underated
Deadpool is Marvel's version of Deathstroke. They literally named Deadpool Wade Wilson as an inside joke because the characters were so similar.
I still have Arkham Origins for PS3. It's such a fun game and good story.
I agree with you there my friend 😄 it’s a good to fun game to also play in December
This game isn't disliked like you said, it's just ignored out of the Trilogy, it's underrated because they had different developers making it.
Love that u guys are continuing this gaming series❤❤❤,thanks for doing that and kindly continue doing that,awesome work guys 🎉🎉🎉and i really liked the expression of achara when she said "so are we 😠" loved it 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Arkham Origins is just the underdog of the franchise
Black Mask was in the Birds of Prey movie, played by Ewan McGregor.
Shiva is more than just a “good ol’ assassin”. She’s also one of Ra’s al Ghul’s chief allies. She also helped train the third Robin, Tim Drake.
Guys, please after you finish the main story do not forget to react to the DLC of the game called "Cold Cold Heart" which is an adaptation of Mr. Freeze's origin from Batman The Animated Series.
They probably don’t even know it exists. They didn’t react to Revenge of Harley Quinn either.
I was really good recreation of that BTAS episode!
Batman is more aggressive because he's younger and Angerier
this version of batman is meant to be brutal because this is when he was younger and more reckless and angry
You might’ve missed some DLCs stories from the last game like Harley Quinn’s Revenge.
This game gets hate for no good reason it’s a cinematic masterpiece
This was back when Bruce was much more aggressive.
Way before Batman trusted others, less refined fighting style, Commissioner Gordon wasn’t Commissioner yet. Arkham Asylum hadn’t been reopened yet, and the Joker hadn’t appeared yet.
41:25 Ladies and gentlemen, the hardest, most excruciating boss fight in the Arkham franchise 😂
It's my Batman/Spider-Man people!!!! :) THANKS!!!!!
this is my favorite Arkham game in a LOT of ways. But especially story. The angry young Bruce at the end of Year 1ish feels a lot like Matt Reeves film in some ways. Love the suit and character designs.
Some people hated this game because of different voice actors, but Smith and Troy Baker did a fantastic job in this, now in 2024 - people really appreciate this game (more after SSKTJL) and the story. It really showed how angry Batman was in his early years. Overall great game!
That deathstroke intro before you fight him goes hard. And his boss fight is probably my favorite in the arkham games.
This game is beloved by the fans now.
Wow, the disrespect for deathstroke without him. Literally there wouldn’t be a Deadpool lol.😂
The best live-action depiction of Deathstroke is in season 2 of Titans where he's the main antagonist to Nightwing and the Titans as well as season 2 of Arrow where he opposite Green Arrow. The short appearance you speak of is in Zack Snyder's Justice League. The idea was that after Zack Synder's Justice League, he would be a main antagonist to Ben Affleck's Batman in a solo Batman movie.
This game is so under-rated 🔥
The Trailer is So Amazing
A popular trend that I love with DC is that with most of their “apocalyptic” storylines Deathstroke always ends up being on of the main characters due to his skill and healing factor
My unpopular opinion is this is my favorite Arkham game
This game was badass!
The biggest tragedy of the Snyderverse is that we didn't get the planned Batman movie featuring Deathstroke that was inspired by this game.
This is the best version of batman I have ever seen in a game.
thank you for video.i liked it.i will waiting for next part
The best Batman, Bane, story, cutscenes and in my opinion the best Joker even. Origins is the best in the Arkham series.
When the game came out it deserved the rant it got for multiple reasons. But even then a bad batman game was still a good game. With the passage of time and gameplay patches it has become a better game experience.
8:35 different voice actor. This batman was voiced by Roger Craig Smith. He voiced Ezio in the assassin's creed games and captain america in the avengers animated series
41:42 The most intense fight Batman has ever face before! How will he get through this?! 👀
While people do have mixed feelings about Batman: Arkham Origins as a game, it probably has the best story and writing of all the Arkham games, so you're doing the right thing in just watching the cutscenes!
Don’t worry this games story is goated, it’s really mixed cause of the gameplay this game is so goddamn buggy they’re lucky the story is solid otherwise this wouldn’t be a yearly Christmas game for me.
Another thing Arkham asylum was not a thing around this game it was an idea by the end of the game but throughout this entire game there is no Arkham The reason why they call it Arkham origins cuz it's just an origins to how they made their asylum before the asylum it was just a black gate prison/penitentiary
This was my favorite of the series actually. I don’t know why ppl hated it. Story was so much fun to me and Batman’s so much more angry
Deadpool was actually inspired by Deathstroke and you can tell because they have similar names and skill sets - Slade Wilson / Wade Wilson
Non comic people would be surprised at the volume of villans never show no TV or comics.
54:48 Yeah, these are corrupt cops
I don't know if this video goes into the side missions, but basically the Riddler in here is just starting out and goes by Enigma (Edward Nigma) and it's revealed how he hacked into the towers and data to blackmail Gotham's leaders, because he used to work for GCPD in the Cybercrimes Division, because as he says when first entering his hideout "bullet wounds and broken bones will eventually heal, but incriminating photos, videos, emails? That kind of damage can never be repaired, tomorrow morning, when I release everything I got, the city's going to collapse, resignations, arrests, deaths. It'll be chaos in the streets Batman, and there's not a thing you can do to stop me" By the time that side mission is done Enigma becomes fascinated with Batman and so begins Riddler's obsession with challenging the Dark Knight, though he also found a dirty secret that puts all the other illegal info to shame, but he waits to release it so he can watch Batman squirm as he wonders what on earth it is, which would be released later by the time of the DLC story Cold, Cold Heart. Speaking of DLC did you know Arkham City has a DLC story Harley Quinn's Revenge with both Batman and Robin?
34:16 Love this scene! 😂💪
Waiting for SECOND PART!!! ⚠⚠⚠
Gamers little playground is an awesome gameplay streaming channel. Its good to see you girls reacting to him...also Arkham Origins has the best fight choreography between Batman and Deathstroke...
Fun fact, deathstroke is traditionally the arch enemy of Dick Grayson aka the first robin.
Troy baker is the guy who voiced joker and this game . He is goated
Deathstroke was og... Marvel wanted something similar to catch fans attention so they made some changes in Slade Wilson (Deathstroke) into Wade Wilson (Deadpool).
I got Batman Arkham Origins on my PlayStation 3
This game is probably my favourite Arkham game and I know the gameplay or graphics aren't anything new compared to Arkham City however the story and characters are fantastic and perhaps the most underrated Arkham game if you ask me. This game truly has Bruce go a compelling arc about learning how to become Batman, very much like Robert Pattinsons Batman and this game also has great depictions on villains like Deathstroke, Black Mask, Lady Shiva and this game also has my favourite depiction of Bane as an intellectual, strategic and physically terrifying menace to Batman as he should be depicted, if anything Bane is Batmans true equal.
The game I was waiting for! This was my introduction to the Batman Arkham games! Even though it's not considered the best, I loved it! Curious to hear you two's thoughts though! 🙏🏽💪
The reason why a lot of people didn’t like the game at first was because of the way it was advertised as black mask would be the main villain but instead we ended with a bait and switch for another joker story which was for many a disappointment however after the time has gone by and people have taken the time to revisit the game they’ve come to really love the game as the boss fights were amazing and the story was really compelling.
It’s a great game that has gotten better with age.
Roger Craig Smith voiced Batman in this one, instead of Kevin Conroy, and he didn't disappoint. RCS is famous for voicing Sonic and Ezio Auditore de Firenze.
I think people didn't like this game much because the voice actors for Batman and Joker were not Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill respectively. Bummer, the ones in this game did a great job.
49:25 Let the battle begin
The main criticisms this game got when it came out was that the gameplay was derivative of Arkham City and didn't innovate much, the city wasn't as vibrant as Arkham City, and not all of the assassin boss battles are part of the main story, some are only side missions. I think there were some issues with glitches as well. I think now that time has passed, it has developed into a cult favorite and I personally enjoy the story more than Arkham Asylum.
arkham origins takes place during the beginning of batman's second year and also batman doesn't like holidays
t's really cool that you guys are reacting to this game! I really like Batman Arkham Origins! As I said in the comments of the last Arkham City react, to this day I don't understand why there are Batman fans who don't like this game, but the most talked about reason for the release of this game at the time, which was released in 2013, is because it it was not made by Rockysteady and because its gameplay is inferior to other games in the Arkham franchise, and also because it presents several bugs and performance problems. But its plot, narrative, and story for me are as good as other games! 🙂👍
Some people say that this game is not good because it’s not made by rocksteady. It’s a great story that sets up the Arkham universe. The story is fantastic and writing is brilliant. Roger Craig Smith takes over for Kevin Conroy as Batman. They wanted someone younger for the role. This game is definitely one of the best in the series but it’s no Arkham city or Arkham Knight.
Oh man ladies yall are killin it with these reactions i didn't know if yall were gonna go straight to arkham knight or do this. It's one of my fav starring Roger Craig Smith AKA The Chris Redfield from Resident Evil!
Since you asked, ill tell you two that the reason the game was so disliked at release is that it was very buggy and unstable at the time (i think the PC version may still be unplayable, or at least it was for many years). Add on to that the fact that many big Batman Fans were upset that they didnt get Kevin Conroy to voice Batman and the game got hit hard.
Now that the game is bo longer buggy, and with the benefit of years to get over the recasting, even the biggest detractors will usually agree that this is a gem of a game. For myself, i actually think its my favorite of the Arkham Series. I love the darker tone, and how despite the modern touches (touch screen cell phones) it still really gives a feel like the Gotham of the Batman: The Animated Series days.
Its honestly a bit ironic that the game i think captures that feeling best is the one that doesnt have Kevin Conroy (who, make no mistake, i do think was the best Batman of all time... RIP Kevin Conroy.)
They had Roger craig smith voice batman but he also voiced ezio in the assassins creed franchise
