Hey guys, so we were going to do a BATMAN WEEK next week, but apparently the "Return to Arkham" Collection has been delayed indefinitely (originally was coming July 26th). We had a couple of Batman game movies already lined up, so we'll post some of them in the next couple of days.
@@MontaguStudiosThey were probably all super excited when they made the cutscenes, but once they realised they had to develop Gameplay too, they lost all hope
My goodness I remember playing this so many years as a kid and I remember how I easily failed so many times but I didn't care because I WAS BATMAN! But now after so many years, playing all of the Batman Arkham games and simply learning more about Batman lore, I realize how awful but nostalgic this game is.
I will admit I enjoy how this game introduced characters that are uncommonly seen in video media such as the Cassandra Cain version of Batgirl and Ratcatcher in particular. Indeed for its time I guess it was below average game about Batman.
At least Ratcatcher got time to shine in a video game. Granted he was teased constantly for the Arkhamverse but they killed him off like it was nothing in the comics for it.
Even when I wrote a Justice League fan story, I killed him off within two chapters. He died while standing up to my group of villains, and gave some information to Batman and the League, but not enough to prevent what happened afterward when Scarecrow slices him open with his scythe.
This game has a surprising amount of characters from the comic (Ivy, Freeze, Ratcatcher, Blackmask, Zsasz, ect...) before the _Arkham_ series and the story is pretty good all things considered. If the gameplay was better then this game could have been killer!
wdcain1 no scarecrow in arkham asylum no riddler in arkham asylum no harleen quinzel still a doctor in there no catwoman in gotham no two face in gotham kemco missed some villains from arkham series in there ,
I appreciate many of the movies, but to play through games as bad as this so we can appreciate the story is truly sacrificial :D Didn't realise Scarface/Ventroliquist was in this, he's definitely my favorite underused villain. I'm not having a batman week, I just happened to be rewatching BTAS for the first time in 20 years but going with the fan-theorised chronological order instead of just episode after episode on dvd.
@@virgogaming6488 Now you put the image in my head if Sonic was exposed to the same Joker toxin that created The Batman Who Laughs but instead, The Hedgehog That Laughs.
I'm so lucky that I never played this hell I didn't even know this game existed but the graphics look great the voice acting is hokie makes Batman and Robin look like a freaking work of art and the gameplay Jesus Christ
Though this game was god awful I at least appreciate its story and for the time good graphics. It's good to see the facial animations for example, like the part with one of joker's henchmen eye twitches and such. Sometimes I wanna see this game remade from the ground up same story and designs for outfits but with a bit more added to it to understand things better bring back the open world idea and such.
I think I remember how annoying this game was. Lot of people kept getting bad endings because they didn't know how to disarm the bombs before fighting Ra's
Not the most popular Batman video game due to the gameplay & graphics, but memorable for having a good story written by an actual Batman comic book writer - Scott Peterson wrote "Batman: Gotham Adventures" from 1999-2003. Bonus points for all the characters acting on point.
For as really super awful this game was for the time . I think they should completely remake or even remaster this game most definitely redo the controller mechanics redo the camera work & bump up the graphics & smart AI & boom I know it’s easier set then done but it could be done . Now days seems like old games are getting the remastered touch now adays why not this one you know ?. I do understand that this game was supposed to have the batboat , batmobile, batwing to go around Gotham city & stop crime but was axed because there wasn’t enough time & the systems at that time couldn’t handle that but with today’s technology & consoles & maybe with a better slightly tweaked interrogation system or hell even integrate the system from shadow of Mordor something like that omg would make for a damn awesome game just saying
That pic alone at 7:00...gave me goosebumps...also the cutscenes are Better than the Arkham games.... dark tomorrow was written by actual comic writers
TIL that Jonathan Roumie (who most people know as the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen TV series) also played Tim Drake/Robin in this game... as a Catholic/Christian and a Batman fan, kinda blew my mind XD
Although this game received extremely negative reviews for its gameplay, use of controls, camera-work, and for its multiple endings, the story as well as the cinematics earned some praise. That's got to count for something, right?
Yeah I remember playing this thinking to myself that the cutscenes were so cool but the gameplay was just insufferable and Batman losing at the end was total bs
Woh that was Casandra Cain batgirl and I am guessing by her lack of lines this was when she was still mute. This game could have been so awesome if not for how bad it is.
I don't like the voice for Joker in this one, especially after watching the cutscenes for Batman Vengeance. He sounds like a cliche Disney villain mixed with a game show host. It's disgusting.
As shitty as the game is, it probably lands itself a remake with the interesting concept it has with way better gameplay and mechanics than it initially has
People neglect this game to much. The gameplay really is the only bad aspect. The story is original and the graphics look ahead of its time. I’d even believe that they could be early PS3/360 graphics. PlayStation should consider doing a remaster on a different more clean cut engine with high resolution and swift movement and user compatibility. Though that request is more easier said than done.
(Spoilers in comment) Ha! Another classic Ra’s Al Ghul defeat- I won’t kill you, but I don’t have to save you- intentional or not, Batman bends the rules with the immortal megalomaniac intent on genocide who can also regenerate when returned to the Lazarus pit- therefore technically not breaking his one rule at all.
I’d go so far as to argue that this game is good but not in a way that most people like or want. It doesn’t look bad, the graphics are actually pretty good for like a 2002 game, the story is really solid, the soundtrack is great, I wanna download that, the voice acting is solid (with maybe a couple of exceptions) and the tone is really dark, it used to scare me a little as a child when I first played it. Sure, the fixed camera angles are funky and make the fighting and boss battles difficult but when it comes down to it, I think it adds to the atmosphere of the experience...it did take me literally years to figure out where to go and how to complete the game though. It took me like a year to find the defoliant in the Poison Ivy section as it was in the days before internet walkthroughs were a thing. It may be a bad game but I like it for what it is.
If the game had better gameplay, it would’ve actually been a great game. I heard though it was supposed to be open world but so many delays and directions happened
They had good intentions 4 this game. Too bad it didn't make it to PS2 and XBox. The story line looked brilliant but it seems the controls & cameras were awful.
Killer Croc in this game does not look like Killer croc in the comics thank God for the Arkham games were he is designed to look really menacing and deadly
Wrong take. This game uses Killer Croc's original comics design (when he was just regular, human-sized tough guy with a bad skin condition). He had this design for years in the comics before he eventually mutated to what he currently looks like now.
How tf is scarface talking without being controlled? The whole point of that character was that Arnold was just insane and believed the puppet was real, right? The dummy was never sentient. That's just creepy
Despite how much people say it sucks, I desperately want to play this. So, my question is this: Is this game borderline unplayable, or is it Sonic 06 levels if bad. If it's Sonic 06 levels of bad, I really wanna play it
they should have used scar face like this in the arkham games. This game could have been good if they done things better and took time to make the animation better. The Cut scenes are not bad though. not amazing but Little gamers sure make it better XD
GOTHAM KNIGHTS FULL MOVIE: ua-cam.com/video/w4xShUOxrDU/v-deo.html
The guy who suffered through this game to record these cutscenes is a legend.
Facts story always seemed so interesting but the game was unplayable
Honestly Dark Tomorrow walked so the Arkham series could run
Dark Tomorrow crawled like Daniel Day Lewis in There Will be Blood💀
you're giving dark tomorrow too much credit
Dark tomorrow was literally born without legs lmaoo
Yeah no, with that Logic Batman Vengeance is the spiritual Father of Batman Begins and thats just wrong
the fact you played this pile of shit- the fact you beat this pile of shit- shows that you have great patience

Nice content as usual
Btw r guys still part of the machinima network? juz curious 😅
The game sucks but the cutscene are very good better than the game.
I agree. It's like the devs spent more money on the cutscene dept than the gameplay dept.
@@MontaguStudiosThey were probably all super excited when they made the cutscenes, but once they realised they had to develop Gameplay too, they lost all hope
I will give this game credit for one thing and that's that Cassandra Cain is in it. You rarely see her outside of comics.
Only game that Cassandra Cain was in
dcuo and injustice had
@@wasaw_gamingwhich injustice? Coz batgirl wasn’t even involved in the plot
@@BASEDGIGACHAD_ forgot which one. mobile i think. still was there

+Matthew Murcia Exactly, I didn't even know who ratcatcher was until this game.
Tbh this game actually does get the lore t's just the gameplay is horrific
@@liverpudliandream2299 Me neither.
At least Ratcatcher got time to shine in a video game.
Granted he was teased constantly for the Arkhamverse but they killed him off like it was nothing in the comics for it.
Clearly he's a worthless non canon character
Even when I wrote a Justice League fan story, I killed him off within two chapters. He died while standing up to my group of villains, and gave some information to Batman and the League, but not enough to prevent what happened afterward when Scarecrow slices him open with his scythe.
Ratcatcher: Meet my newest acquaintance
Batman: The ROUS-es? I don't think they actually exist...
Ah well. He seemed like a D-grade villain anyway.
he will be in arkham shadow or whatever the new game is
This game has a surprising amount of characters from the comic (Ivy, Freeze, Ratcatcher, Blackmask, Zsasz, ect...) before the _Arkham_ series and the story is pretty good all things considered. If the gameplay was better then this game could have been killer!
wdcain1 no scarecrow in arkham asylum no riddler in arkham asylum no harleen quinzel still a doctor in there no catwoman in gotham no two face in gotham kemco missed some villains from arkham series in there ,
Matheus Couto ...What?
This game was a pretty big deal when it was announced. Before Arkham Asylum, this was supposed to be the best Batman game up to that point.
I disagree.
What blew my mind was that they put Cassandra Cain in the game. You almost never see her.
13:31 that dude is literally voiced by Toni Cipriani from GTA LCS. I guess Toni quit the Leone Family and became a detective in Gotham City.
Arkham: Batman carefully carries Joker out in his arms
Dark Tomorrow: Pulls him away by his legs, no fucks given
Well, it was an emergency given the circumstances in Dark Tomorrow.
38:53 huh I suppose Arkham Knight took some references
I appreciate all the hours of entertainment you guys have given me. Defiantly looking forward to more Batman games.
How the hell could the ventriloquist talk with no body?
And we never saw Batgirl again
This would have been a Direct to Video movie by WB
Man his games have come a long way over the years ...
I’ve comes across your comment once again lol love the vids bro, keep them uploads coming👏🏼
The worst thing about this game is definitely Batman's running animation
Running to the toilet
Thats definitely not the worst thing. Not even close
the sound effects are really good too. At times you can actually hear batman's rubber in his costume stretch. A real attention to detail...👌
I appreciate many of the movies, but to play through games as bad as this so we can appreciate the story is truly sacrificial :D
Didn't realise Scarface/Ventroliquist was in this, he's definitely my favorite underused villain. I'm not having a batman week, I just happened to be rewatching BTAS for the first time in 20 years but going with the fan-theorised chronological order instead of just episode after episode on dvd.
"Make sure your rabies shoes are up to date, Batman out"
52:24 Epic Batman Ending...
Yeah.
At 6:28, i like this design and version of Oracle ; very appealing and smart with bob haircut, and a little mature too, looks like she is 30 or 32.
40:38 Rha's has got to be one of the most understanding fathers ever.
This game doesn't look that bad if you think of it like an early Resident Evil/Metal Gear Solid type game with a Batman skin.
That's literally what I thought
The looks arent the least of this Games Problems
Say what you want but the opening scene and ost for this game is GOATED
I really love that theme that plays towards the start of the game and at the end.
Thank God for Rocksteady and WB Montreal, and NetherRealm.

The cutscenes are good and I especially love that theme that plays towards the start of the game and at the end.
Seeing this just….. damn we came a long way
45:39 “Millions will die.”
The population of Earth is 7 billion
Millions is still a big number.
30:54 I kind of seen that coming with the Joker doing that tune.
i am so sorry who ever had to suffer through the game to make this awesome video
Lol. It was a rough one to play through
The Joker sounds AWFUL!
Piano play* hu hu hu hu ha
I know right? I mean where is Mark Hamill when you need him?
He sounds like Jason Griffith trying to voice the Joker.
Well, you can tell Mark Hamill wasn’t around to voice him.
@@virgogaming6488 Now you put the image in my head if Sonic was exposed to the same Joker toxin that created The Batman Who Laughs but instead, The Hedgehog That Laughs.

Unmasked he looks like Michael Keaton
Batman Arkham Discount Edition.
This story is actually pretty good I just wish it was in a better game
I think I remember how annoying this game was. Lot of people kept getting bad endings because they didn't know how to disarm the bombs before fighting Ra's
15:05 man that guys neck though....wow
It does look pretty tall.
The only real problem with the game is the gameplay but the cutscenes and the dark atmosphere and story and the gameplay is the only issue
46:48 Nice title drop, Batman.
You mean 46:42?
This Looks
AMAZING
Not the most popular Batman video game due to the gameplay & graphics, but memorable for having a good story written by an actual Batman comic book writer - Scott Peterson wrote "Batman: Gotham Adventures" from 1999-2003. Bonus points for all the characters acting on point.
I beat this whole game when I was a kid. I remember being able to tell it was terrible as a pre-teen but I just had to finish it.
Fun fact the voice of Robin is Jonathan Roumie who who has plays Jesus christ in the chosen Tv series 😂
For as really super awful this game was for the time . I think they should completely remake or even remaster this game most definitely redo the controller mechanics redo the camera work & bump up the graphics & smart AI & boom I know it’s easier set then done but it could be done .

Yeah it's just like remaking MK4 that game was ugly, and it needs some work from a hard remaster.
B_side 86 At that point you might as well just make a new game
Or maybe they should remaje this game using Arkham knight assets and mevhanics.
I agree
And get better voice acting like Kevin Conroy to do Batman, but maybe keep the guy who did ra’s
I've seen a few Batman games, but I've never heard of this one.
As Bad as this game was I’m glad they included some of the underrated villains that some already know of by playing Arkham asylum
Pro tip: best and quickest way to beat this game is to toss it in the trash where it belongs
Joker's playing Organ doing shave the haircut two bit 30:55
I like the voice talent and story line of this game as well. Of course the graphics are dated, but overall a fun time! 👌
Batgirl looks scary as heck
Well, to be fair, this iteration of Batgirl is supposed to look like that.
Becoming a huge fan of your videos fantastic job.
+Jack Payne thank you. 😀
Ya know, if you see this game as a prototype for the Arkham games, it’s not AS bad.
That pic alone at 7:00...gave me goosebumps...also the cutscenes are
Better than the Arkham games.... dark tomorrow was written by actual comic writers
the voice acting is so awful it's awesome haha
Why does Zsasz have....long.........pauses?
@@JoeChillton he's probably trying to catch his breath lol
It’s not great; but there’s far worse.
Yay batman nice work bro
TIL that Jonathan Roumie (who most people know as the actor who plays Jesus in The Chosen TV series) also played Tim Drake/Robin in this game... as a Catholic/Christian and a Batman fan, kinda blew my mind XD
If I was Mark Hamill I’d feel insulted

Holy baloney, I did not know that Doctor Doom would cameo in a Batman video game!
Wait, where does Doctor Doom cameo?
Woh that was Casandra Cain batgirl and I am guessing by her lack of lines this was when she was still mute. This game could have been so awesome if not for how bad it is.
When I first saw this game, I had no idea who Cassandra was and was confused how batgirl and Oracle coexist.
No it wasn't Cassandra cain...
@@darksector_0675 Yes, it was. Cassandra is the only Batgirl whose mask looked like that because she was mute.
You always does a great job, keep up the good work and thank you!
+SuperCool1969 thanks for watching and supporting us!!
+Gamer's Little Playground so awsum video
This game is horrible but you can see how they took certain elements from it and executed it better in Arkham Asylum.
Seriously, ive been into the game cutscene since i was just a kid....
Pity this game is so awful because it features Batman in my favourite Blue, Grey, and Yellow outfit.
Only one good thing about this game u can handcuff enemy’s after u deaft them and that would of been a cool feature in the Arkham games
That would've got old real fast
I think I can understand why that wasn’t in the Arkham games. Having to cuff every single baddie you take out can be such a chore.
PS2 version is cancelled
I don't like the voice for Joker in this one, especially after watching the cutscenes for Batman Vengeance.
He sounds like a cliche Disney villain mixed with a game show host. It's disgusting.
Agreed. Mark hamill to me is the definitive joker

I like the song that plays in the credits
Me too. It’s so lovely. It’s like the Batman video game equivalent of Kissed by a Rose.
The game sucked, but if they made these cutscenes into a movie then it would be cool.
The character designs look good, but the gameplay and acting for ratcatcher? nah
Here from Rerez’s it’s just bad review of this game
I saw that review before watching this video.
Game music by EGG
Cut scenes are great too bad the game is unplayable lol
Hey do all Ben 10 games in the future
It should be remasterd
The gameplay should be redone from the ground up as well, it was terrible, trying to grapple properly while judging distance was a nightmare
It had its good parts but the rest was awful. I did like how the Joker was trying to sneak away and Batman punches him down with even looking! 😆
I don't understand why he let out a handful of confetti as he dropped to the ground, though. Even for the Joker...
Nice game :-)
Where is bad ending and 4 endings
Hey Livestream tonight?
This game sucked back then and it sucks forever just like Batman Forever
