I wish that if you make the choice to kill Batman and Azrael ends up in GCPD, he got his own evidence display case with the Sword of Sin and maybe something else, a cross or whatever, and Cash shows a bit of sympathy for what happened to Michael. It would have tied in Lane's GCPD roots quite well. Excellent video and breakdown!
i know azrael is not a dlc thing but, lowkey they shoulda put azrael in maximum secruity, cause he's literally just another batman in different clothes
would've been cool if Azrael was more beefy, slower, but more heavy-hitting than Batman. would've been better than his combat being exactly the same as Batman's. maybe if he was more violent too. but i also agree that Azrael's missions were a bit of a let down in AK edit: also, you should totally use John Helldiver as a character for a difficulty section
John Helldivers getting in the Riddler Video now, he has too 😂 but yeah, Azreal has soooo much potential to be an amazing character who felt different than Batman so it was a bit disappointing to see he was a copy/paste character, maybe one day we’ll get an Arkham game with Azreal in that feels different but maybe that’s wishful thinking 😂💙🦇
@ Either way it was canonically proven that she didn’t actually have the baby, and even then, I highly doubt the joker’s kid would’ve shown up in the third game since none of the confirmed plans had that. Plus, there’s no way in hell she’d actually have joker’s kid. Joker doesn’t give two shits about Harley, and even if they did have sex, that probably means Harley would be infected and die from the disease before she could give birth to a damn thing.
Yeah I know what you mean, Dini got done dirty, would have loved to see him complete his trilogy, especially with Hush and Scarecrow teaming up, could have made for some great moments
The biggest amusement for me , when it comes to Azrael is if you choose to befriend Batman . You are no better off . Next move bring in the fire chief completing the missing firefighters side mission . And for some strange reason you will find Azrael in GCPD lock up , even though you didn't put him there. Remember Azrael and Batman parted as friends. Approach Azrael to find out what's going on, his response is he should of finished Batman when he had the chance . Bizarre.
While it is Michael Lane and not Jean Paul Valley....Its funny seeing the idea of Azrael maybe taking up the mantle come up again and being taken seriously considering that the entire point of knightfall was that someone insane like Azzy should never *ever* be allowed to be batman
Ah yeah that’s a fair point, completely overlooked that, but yeah it would have been an interesting choice by Batman to give any sort of Azrael the cowl 😂💙🦇
That’s a good question, it’s interesting because at this point in the arkhamverse the “mythology” surrounding Batman hasn’t been tarnished by Scaecrow yet so I guess becoming Batman would allow him to have that pre-established mythology and aura around him which would allow him to create that sense of fear a lot easier than if he was Azreal and was still relatively unknown amongst the criminal world, it’s a good question though because it does bring up wether Gotham NEEDS Batman or just someone like him… 💙🦇
People fear and trust Batman more than him so think of it like buying a famous Pizza chain then having to make up your own. It's easier to take over something popular then have to make something and wait for it to be popular...if that makes sense.
@@CharlesCardy I wish azrael had a bigger role or even help Batman or the batfamily to stop scarecrow, because all of these characters were in the same game and never took the opportunity to interact to each other.
What are your thoughts on another Rocksteady game? As in, literally anything? Personally, I'd love to see another DC game - specifically one where the player is Azrael. I love his story, and I absolutely adore his character design. It is really unfortunate that we didn't get much of him, but hey, at least we could play challenges as Azrael.
An Azrael centric game, maybe following his journey of revenge against the Order, would be fucking amazing, I’d love Rocksteady to branch the Arkhamverse out to other characters, obviously keeping Batman as the focal point, but imagine like an Azrael game or a Nightwing game and his journey to creating his own myth in Bludhaven? I’d love that so much, there’s so much to go at with these characters💙🦇
@@CharlesCardy I really think that their take on Suicide Squad was an interesting gambit, that just fell flat on its face. It was good that they tried something new, sure, but I don't see why they tried to fix something that isn't broken. Sure - making more (specifically Batman) Arkhamverse games will be a struggle now with Kevin Conroys unfortunate passing (RIP), but there's very little stopping Rocksteady from making more Arkhamverse games with other characters. I do agree though, a Nightwing game in Bludhaven could be cool - but I doubt it'd feel the same, without the gliding and whatnot
@@CharlesCardyI'd sell my soul to Satan to play an Azreal centered game. I love his design and music so so fucking much. And I want him to be brutal and use the sword too. Different from Batman
Suicide Squad had so much potential at fave value, a game where you can play as 4 different members of the DC rogues gallery trying to take down these Godlike (and in some cases actual gods) figures in this universe could have been amazing with the Arkham Tag Team system at its core, at least they know now not to do whatever they did with SSKTJL again and keep the Arkham universe alive by doing whatever works and what people want
It would be so cool, think of the special combo takedowns with the sword of sin, that could be some brutal stuff, I imagine it would be like an Arkham asylum type game, very tight knit and atmospheric, I think given Azrael in AK was a reskinned Batman they’d have to give him his own move set and movement in a standalone game and he’d lend himself really well to that Asylum style of gameplay, no huge sprawling world but more of a dungeon crawler type game with all of the Arkham style and finesse everyone expects, it would absolutely fucking rule
Great Video, I'd sub. It would've been amazing to see a vision of what could be if Azrael took the cowl. Seeing how brutal he would be and how murderous he would be....but I can see how that would be a waste of time for a side mission. But hey a mfer can dream.
It can get really rough, I never found the Deathstroke fight to be TOOO hard, difficult but never really hard, this one new game plus definitely took years off my life 😂
People hate on Arkham Knight when they really should be hating on Arkham City.... think about it. Arkham City had two side missions that ended on a cliff hanger to hype up for the next game. Isn't it their fault that we got a half-arsed Hush and Azrael? I'll say, at least those missions were more interesting in execution than "Talk to the figure" and "Follow the breadcrumbs". Overall, Knight gets all the shit it doesn't deserve because it was poorly optimized at launch and gamers tend to be spoiled brats
I think City did the right thing setting these potential major characters up, it’s Knights fault for not delivering on the pay offs, you could probably point fingers at both games to be fair. I do agree Knight tends to get shat on for stuff that only spoiled brats complain about, it got so much unnecessary hate, similar to Origins, it’ll be a game that people are finally coming around too loving
If I had say in the plot I’d make Jason Todd a red herring and throw in a twist Make the Militia obedient to the order of Saint Dumas, The Arkham Knight is instead Jean Paul Valley who betrays Scarecrow Azrael turns on them and he and Batman take on Valley for the final boss with it ending similarly with Batman being unmasked
@@CharlesCardy would've made more use out of Azrael that way, plus I prefer this idea of mine for the Arkham Knight, Jason Todd was too easy, and his reveal carries less impact than it deserves due to the obviousness of it.
@@CharlesCardy at the very least I would have liked an Arkham Episode for Azrael hunting down the order and perhaps have it end with a boss fight with Jean Paul Valley, it'd be extra metatextual if they had the same voice too.
@ that's understandable lol your videos are great though keep up the good work. I hope you find it someday though brother because Jesus especially is well worth finding anyways looking forward to more videos

That would have been really cool, especially since Cash and Lane were supposedly partners, would have been a nice little bonus 💙🦇
i know azrael is not a dlc thing but, lowkey they shoulda put azrael in maximum secruity, cause he's literally just another batman in different clothes
Azrael and Deathstroke specifically should have been put in a different category, those dudes are demons 😂

Stuff like this is why I wish they let Paul Dini complete his trilogy
@ You mean the baby that was confirmed to not be real by the Harley’s revenge dlc 🤨
@ Either way it was canonically proven that she didn’t actually have the baby, and even then, I highly doubt the joker’s kid would’ve shown up in the third game since none of the confirmed plans had that.
Plus, there’s no way in hell she’d actually have joker’s kid. Joker doesn’t give two shits about Harley, and even if they did have sex, that probably means Harley would be infected and die from the disease before she could give birth to a damn thing.

A question does azrael needs to become Batman to protect Gotham ? Why can’t he keep being azrael to protect Gotham in Batman’s place ?
That’s a good question, it’s interesting because at this point in the arkhamverse the “mythology” surrounding Batman hasn’t been tarnished by Scaecrow yet so I guess becoming Batman would allow him to have that pre-established mythology and aura around him which would allow him to create that sense of fear a lot easier than if he was Azreal and was still relatively unknown amongst the criminal world, it’s a good question though because it does bring up wether Gotham NEEDS Batman or just someone like him… 💙🦇

Arkham Knight fumbled bad on side missions like Azrael and Hush, that Rocksteady build up so well in Arkham City 😅
Justice for Hushrael (I just made that nickname up I’m so sorry) 😂

Exactly, it would have been a lot of work for not much payoff but like you said, mfs can dream 😂
Another amazing video, and i really do love killer croc
CMONNNN, glad to know there’s more Croc Truthers out there💙🦇
Doing heir to the cowl in new game plus hard mode (nightmare) was probably harder than the deathstroke battle (for me)
It can get really rough, I never found the Deathstroke fight to be TOOO hard, difficult but never really hard, this one new game plus definitely took years off my life 😂

It’s a shame he wasn't used more efficiently. Would've been cool to have a few Azrael missions at the end of Arkham after Batman blows up the Manner
Holy, that’s a great idea, like a Red Dead 2 style “prologue” as Azrael would have been so sick!
@ indeed it would've
@ may I ask do you believe in God? Just curious
was never raised religiously but im not against the idea of a higher power, I tend to stick to Batman videos and COD Zombies mostly lol
@ that's understandable lol your videos are great though keep up the good work. I hope you find it someday though brother because Jesus especially is well worth finding anyways looking forward to more videos
Prometheus
Wish he was in Knight, would have been a fun DLC character to kill people with on challenge maps 😂
@ EXACTLY plus he’d be an amazing antagonist cause you can do no wrong with rivalry character like reverse flash or venom and even bizaro
