Next is Suicide squad kill the justice league

@@Speakeazy Suicide Squad, while deeply flawed, looks genuinely like an enjoyable game, would you say it's worth picking up?
@@ChonkemsI can atleast see myself somewhat enjoying it ,while gotham knights was just unbearable
"oh no, this is DC's worst game😭"
"DC's worst game SO FAR☝️"
There's still hope from Monolith's Wonder Woman game. It could probably break the grounds and prove that it can be DC's worst game.
@@PurooRoyi hope thats not the case. btw james gunn was thinking of making it canon to his dc universe
@@jadendeadredemption7262 probably depends on the quality/reception of the game atp
@@PurooRoydidn’t it get canceled
@@Saintphish no. They've just gone silent on it because it's in the development phase. Monolith was open for mass hiring last year, which means the actual work started after that. Might take around 2 more years to announce the game, since they don't want another Gotham Knights.
“Perhaps I treated you too harshly…”
-Batman fans on Gotham Knights now after Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League
As Fleekazoid said, no. You didn't judge it too harshly. Just because I took a regular dump yesterday and had diarrhea today, it doesn't make my poop from yesterday suddenly appetizing.
Dude I was going to say the exact same saying lol@@Vherstinae
@@Vherstinae no? gotham knights is actually a decent game thats overrhated
There's still hope for Wonder Woman though. 🤞
@@PurooRoy why tho? She isn't interesting, her powers are very run of the mill and you can just play AC Odyssey if you want to be a Greek demigod slaying monsters
Imagine if they made a superman game. The diversity in powers, the plot, the enemies, the potential would be insane!
A wonder woman game set in the Arkham universe where she gets hit on by Harley Quinn, and Batman got shot in the head? Hard pass, won't even pirate
Disagree with the Origins slander in this video, also saying “awful” review scores while showing a ton of reviews as 70% doesn’t add up.
Edit: The statement I made about the reviews was about Gotham Knights, not Origins
11:40
Same here, Origins is amazing and a worthy prequel
Absolutely , I love that game
I like Orgins a lot. Even though its a City reskin, it has some of the best fights. Including my GOAT Deathstroke (before they washed him in Knight). Wish honestly the game could've focused around Black Mask more, but what we got was still great.
@@nillypc42Origins has the best characterization for Bruce. Anyone who slanders it is blinded by bias.
@@PakistaniSenpai Alfred was enjoyable as well. Their dynamic was explored well.
I’m going to say something bad about the suicide squad game, then someone’s going to say they only have 24 hours on Gotham knights and over 110 hours on suicide squad

“DC’s worst game”
Boyo, Supes 64 called….
Exactly
I love ya Alex, but Origins slander will NOT be tolerated. Yes, its the weakest Arkham game, (i refuse to acknowledge SSKTJL's existence) but its still great in its own right.
It's the kinda game that's easily skippable. There's zero reason to play it when you can play 3 way better games in the series.
@@JDelwynnStill a good game though
@@JDelwynnthat deathstroke boss fight though
@@JDelwynn Storywise I think its worth it, other than that you're right.
Knight is the weakest Arkham game tbh, Origins is fantastic.
Why is Alex calling Man: Ham Oranges a mid game? Is he stupid?
Is he the jonkler
Is the lore and reason why?
Jonkler was amazing in “Man Ham: Oranges”along vinlans like Deepstoke, Vain, and mlack bask
He don't like Bone
He got hired by jonkler to troll man ham fans in youtube
DC's Worst Game until last month 💀
nah man, suicide squad is significantly better than Gotham Knights. I have 24 hours on gotham knights and over 110 on suicide squad
One can like slop, but talking others to pay for that slop is sad af.The game is not gonna make it out of those 1000 players XD
@@Speakeazyyyyeeeeah no
@@Koda.R a thousand players on one system. Surprisingly a system with less owners than the other twi
@@Speakeazy Just like with marvel avengers
It probably has a low player account for those 2 systems standards so don't cope too hard there
Also Gollum has a 3/5 on Playstation,so S-Squad having a 4 means nothing lmao
Worst? Superman 64, Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis, the videogame tie-in to Halle Berry's Catwoman, Batman: Dark Tomorrow. I'd even put Gotham Knights above Justice League Heroes but that's just me.
While Gotham Knights is far from the best, it's not the worst. That's just being disingenuous. And Origins is not a mid game. A hill I would die on.
For as messy as Gotham Knights’ story is, I see it as a case of missed potential. A tale of Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, and Robin working together to fill the shoes left behind after the death of Batman seems like a great story for a game or movie. At least you can say it’s better than the Gotham Knights tv show am I right
Yeah it definitely could have worked especially with the court of owls. But the messy execution of the game in just about everyway is the problem. Timing I think was also a problem. A few years after Batman seems to die in Arkham Knight, they release a game with Batman dead and you play as a bunch of the Bat Family that appeared in those games wit combat that appeared to be based on the same combat system. How could they expect people to not draw comparisons.
when people use the iPhone alarm in videos always it makes my mind flinch and go “oh shit fuck” for just a quick second. im so used to hearing it wake me up for work every day 😭
Literally 😭
This video was just the appetizer for the Suicide Squad review. Very clever Alex.
"DCs Worst Game"
Sorry bro that's gotta go to Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League or Batman Dark Tomorrow

@@SpeakeazyI have 134 hours on Marvel's Avengers and only 115 (100% completion) on GOW Ragnarok. Does that mean Marvel's Avengers is better than GOW Ragnarok?
They said so many times that this was not an Arkham game, yet everyone is complaining how this isn't an Arkham game.
seeing people praising this game after seeing how bad SSKTJL is, is so funny
Alex Webb next video:
The amazing story of Batman’s greatest game series
The thumbnail:
Lego Batman 1,2,3
I strongly believe this was a live service game that they quickly changed into a single player one
I can see that being the case
Batgirl's dumptruck is the only reason I ever considered playing this game. And I still didn't.
Respectfully I disagree with Arkham Origins being mid. Even though that is your opinion respectfully, I still say the game had some of the best boss fights of the whole series and had possibly the best story out of the series, too, I do agree the game isn't perfect and the gameplay could've been improved, but nevertheless, I think it's still one of the most underrated Batman games and deserves more praise as a great prequel game if you ask me
All the boss fights from origins suck. combat is worse than CIty and the gloves make it piss easy. The entire world is a copy paste of Arkham city.
Deathstroke is a glorified cutscene, literally press counter to win
Firefly: throw batarangs, dodge the exact same attacks, throw glue bomb, and batclaw
repeat this 2 more times and you beat him. Boring gameplay
Bane: literally just keep jumping over him until he gets tired.
I don't understand how anyone can say these are good boss fights
Origins is a 5/10, maybe 6 if I'm being generous. Everything this game does Arkham City does better
Its not underrated in the slightest
I have no idea why Arkham fans are so weirdly protective of this game
@@ysurfed4648they're stupid because they like the mid man ham oranges game with no lore reason
@@deotic officer balls!?
@@ysurfed4648I like it because the christmas atmosphere is insane and I like seeing the more unhinged younger Batman. The relationship with Alfred was great, the crime scene investigation is insanely cool and makes you feel like the worlds greatest detective. It gave some lesser known villains the spotlight and I think its the only game that made an accurate Bane so far. It gave lesser known villains the spotlight and even though he was a bit repetitive, the joker was also great. Its not perfect but not as bad as people make ot out to be.
@@ysurfed4648you can simplify a lot of boss fights in the Batman Arkham games like this. Most aren’t complex but they can still be good.
Batman Arkham Origins had the best boss fights in the Arkham series. Especially the boss fight with Deathstroke. Unlike how they did his boss fight in Arkham knight with tanks.
It really makes me wonder why WB didn't bother to remove live service for Suicide Squad KTJL too
That game 100% is going to get pulled from digital stores in the next year or so like Avengers.
@@jamesmorris7844 exactly. But my point is that WB already experienced this (Gotham Knights) and they tried to salvage it with a year delay.
They're either out of touch boomers or have full confidence for that game to the point KTJL is officially canon in Akrhamverse
Still better than Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League
3:44 MAN CAMEO!
Gotham knights compared to the suicide squad game is a masterpiece.
Yeah at least Gotham Knights somewhat respects their characters.......SS KTJL is just disrespectful and shameful for the Arkham franchise as a whole
I feel bad for WB Games Montreal. Arkham Origins is a great game but people just hate it because it wasn't made by Rocksteady, if it was the first of the series, It'd be praised.
Well that and gamers be judging Origins for recycling stuff from its predecessor Arkham City. Like that automatically makes it a bad or lazy entry which to me honestly feels kind of shallow to be honest to judge something on face value and not even trying to give it a chance. And honestly it’s not like Origin’s is the only game that recycles stuff from it’s predecessor that had only a year or two to be made. Just look at the 2nd N64 Zelda entry Majora for example. Is that game also lazy for recycling Ocarina’s graphics. Gameplay. Music. And especially NPC’s. No it’s not it’s still a very enjoyable & fresh entry for its story/lore & it’s setting. Heck Smash Bros Melee has a fair amount of its newcomers being clone characters. Is that game also a lazy or cheap game for having recycling. And that’s another game that came out a year or two after it’s predecessor Smash 64.
This is who I watch while wating for Alex lennen to post
"Rockstar's version of batman"... bro
Gotham Theft Auto
wow I can’t wait for grand theft auto:Arkham Town version
I genuinely got enjoyment out of both Gotham knights and origins because if I find myself enjoying the story and characters I will continue to play no matter how bad gameplay can get
With this and the suicide squad game, I don’t have any faith in future DC games, for Christ’s sake this is sad
7:52 To be fair, that's the only possible way to make him working with the others make any sense whatsoever. If he killed, no way in hell were Nightwing, Batgirl, and Robin going to work with him.
0:44 My man just insulted the childhood of an entire generation ☠️
I will not accept any Lego Batman slander 🙅🏻♂️
So I got into the Arkham franchise when Knight came out. I never understood the hate for origins other than people getting mad at the reveal of spoiler alert: black mask being the joker. The multiplayer looked interesting, and even even if it was bad, it was them trying to do something unique, which I respected. Also, the Batgirl DLC was the best DLC for ArkhamKnight.
Nobody really hate arkham origin honestly (i actually also like it),as of now i think after the gotham knights and suicide squad...people appriciate arkham origin more then those two.
3:16 i quote that press conference so much man😂
I will never forgive the French Canadians for making this game. GREAT VIDEO THOUGH!
YESSIR
0:14 Alright let's move out
You think this is bad, wait until Suicide Squad.
12:21 aged like a fine wine
🤣
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This isnt the worst DC game. *cough,cough* Suicide Squad
I would still rather consider this cannon than ssktjl
Bro there is no way Gotham Knights is worse than ssktjl because that game is THE WORST DC GAME IN HISTORY there is no way that ssktjl is better than Gotham Knights. It may have sucked but at least it wasn't nearly as awful as ssktjl
Thank god Alex changed the title. Gotham Knights may be bad but it isn't the worst that DC Games could offer.
Suicide squad kill the justice league at the end : allow us to introduce ourselves
Way better than Gotham knights tbf
@@condiment_king1232Gotham knights has a good story at least, unlike that shit that blew our beloved Batman's brains out. Gotham knights gave us an in character and honorable death for Batman, and they did it twice! Gotham Knights gameplay is really not good, but neither is Shit Squad. Just a generic online shooter game with no substance or value that only generated any publicity from shock due their audacity to kill Batman like that
@ihavenonamestilldonthaveon8970 Gotham knights story is truly awful with no idea of what it wants to accomplished and is serverly rushed.
Garbage can vs Trash can.
I’m actually both a spider man and Batman fan those two got me into superheroes and I’ve grown to love them even more as an adult
Let's not forget that there's also a Gotham Knights TV show, except it doesn't have ANY of the batfamily, and instead focuses on a brand new character who's Batman's adopted son named Turner Hayes and feels like he came from a wattpad fanfic or a late 2000s/early 2010s CW show since he doesn't even have a costume. He just wears a turtleneck, jeans, and a jacket
Shoulda just went with Jason as the protagonist, trying to redeem himself while the bat-family supports him through the game
Cut the amount of sidestories, get the game to 60 fps, get rid of the rough edges around the combat and boom, there ya go, a much better game
I got for 10 bucks on sale.
For 10 bucks it's fine. It's the most fine a game can be.
14:06 Rockstar is truly one of the best companies out there, Bat man 5 is one of my favorite games of all time.
Bro how I didn’t notice that until now is truly driving me insane
@@AlexWebb101 lol. I'm sorry for calling you out, the video is amazing and this one little thing isn't a problem for me.
Sees thumbnail, you’re acting like suicide squad doesn’t exist
I wish I could act like Suicide Squad doesn't exist
Alex Webb: Gotham Knights DC's worst game.
Rocksteady:Well we can go deeper than that.
I love how basically everyone recognizes This as still being better than SS
Gotham Knights combat is just so fun. I’m 1000 hrs in and I’m still discovering more things I can do. I’ve also never experienced any bugs. My experience with GK is fantastic. I give it a 9.5 out of ten.
I love watching people play the combat wrong and complain about it 😂
*batman voice* In the dark I go in peace I count my bat family to save this city when I’m gone *they didn’t do a good job when fixing the city when it’s cover in bugs*
Superman 64: am i a joke for you?
The absolute fucking worst by a longshot
The worst DC game?? Did everyone forget Superman 64, Batman: Dark Tomorrow and Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis??
"Main theme is Beating Up the Mentally ill..." Wow, that was a refreshing way to look at Arkham Asylum.
7:48, also don't forget that Arkham Knight was made on fucking UE3, a 2015 game made on UE3 and it still looks better than this game.
Man I wished that you include the Suicide Squad game into this video and you didn't let me down! Waiting for the video!
Releasing a video about how Gotham knights is apparently the worst dc game when kill the justice league just came out is probably the most unfortunate coincidence I’ve ever seen lmfao
Suicide Squad ruining my video title along with the Arkham series
@@AlexWebb101no, they are worse dc games.
I'm eagerly awaiting the Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League video
"In life there are two paths you go down or you are a Spider-Man fan or you are a Batman fan"
Me:" are you so sure about it?"
Just wanted to say, idk why people have an issue with Jason's rounds being less lethal for THIS iteration. If anything I don't know why people wouldn't expect this. This is a Jason Todd who (idk if it's like this in the comics but) is quite close to the bat family and actively talking to Bruce. Did everyone think he'd just be blasting people again while Dick, Barbara & Tim are still sacred about the no killing rule? Besides you can still at least use guns, and not like tranq darts or something so it's a reasonable compromise.
I didn't know origins wasn't developed by rocksteady, I remember it being as good as city so I just figured they made all 4 games.
Suicide Squad: yh hold my beer
WB Games seemingly fumbled the ball with their big franchise games these last few years. Gotham Knights was given too little time to finish the game after they pivoted away from Live service leaving it basically like 70 to 80 percent complete and since it wasnt a Live service game they took the larger portion of the dev team away almost immediately after the game was released leaving a skeleton crew to basically just release a monthly patch for like 4 months before abandoning it entirely. Suicide Squad was forced into being a Live Service game and because of that they got priority allowing them to delay the game even more to make sure it was a more complete product before release but the Story and Live Service model left a sour taste it fans mouths, then Hogwarts legacy their most successful game in recent years. Ended up barely getting any post-launch support. No major story DLCs and with no offical Sequel announced. A skeleton crew has been performing the updates to that game for months with the only "New" Content being new customization options and releasing Side Quests on all platforms and all Houses that used to be locked to PlayStation or locked to a specific house you chose in the game.
Simply put WB games had an opportunity to potentially have a great couple of years for games but due to Corporate interference they fumbled their chances at a great lineup
I got left on a cliffhanger is a mini-doc you will not be forgiven
I think that iPhone alarm scared me more then man bat did in Arkham Knight. Please don’t do that again and also…send me some underwear 😂
Look here Alex Webb, I love your videos and I love your content but I have to be completely honest with your opinion on Batman: Arkham Origins! I kindly respect it but I strongly disagree with it and think that it’s CRIMINALLY and HEAVILY UNDERRATED and I’m thinking about playing it alongside the Batman Arkham Trilogy for the first time ever whenever I get the chance!
gamers, looking at Gotham Knights after Suicide Squad came out: *perhaps I judged you too harshly*
Arkham games: 10/10
Gotham knights: not even close
SS: Far from anything that came before
I was about to say just wait till you play suicide squad game but well you included it in the outro. Hope you have a good time with it😂😂
Ending of the Video is 10/10😂😂😂
I would agree Gotham Knights was the worse-
But The Suicide Squad game is out, sooooo... Yea
Please Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad are both leagues better than Dark Tomorrow or Superman 64
I mean, it's like comparing what piece of turd is bigger than another.
Well, at least this game lets me play as Batgirl. I love Oracle, but I'd love not being constantly reminded that the Killing Joke exists by DC.
This game was actually released on my birthday october 21st
Love that Batman, the rich billionaire, comes back in the end to kill himself off again and to say the rich guys are the scariest villains lmao. Like yea okay buddy.
You forgot to mention the best aspect of this game, all the cake Batgirl is carrying GOT DAYUM!!!

Another Alex Webb video? We eating well tonight
Imagine making video named "dc worse game" about gotham knight. Just for SS to drop and take that title XD
They’re both so bad that it’s a tie
@captaincrunch1707 neh, SS is worse-
Gotham Knights at least dosent have Joker's side piece trying to morally ground stand batman, or pissing on Flash. As if Ezra Miller wasent bad enough already for Flash brand
If Gotham knights was a live service game (damn near is) why the hell were two batman games released in a row live service
WB was greedy simple as that.. the only reason Gotham Knights ISN'T a live service game is because the Developers saw the backlash that a live service game was going to get after Avengers and started stripping out the Live Service elements and try to make it more story based. They could have turned it around but they just didn't have the time to actually finish the game even with it getting delayed.
0:28 ACCURATE STATEMENT RIGHT HERE
Hey, the Arkham Origins online multiplayer can still be accessed on PC thanks to fan servers and modding. So it's not technically dead yet.
Rocksteady downfall started after batman Arkham knight
I love your videos. Your history lessons on superhero media, especially video games, are hilarious. I remember watching your Web of Shadows video on loop when I had just moved to my favorite apartment in New York. If I was ever overwhelmed or anxious, your video would take a good load off and make me laugh like crazy. It was a good reminder to laugh and not take things too seriously. I was interning for Marvel and was about to meet a girl who became one of my best friends. Actually, I even had Web of Shadows on the Wii at the time, and your video managed to motivate me to play through the whole thing. 😂 Whenever I watch a new video of yours, I get a kick of energy and excitement I had during that sunny New York time. Thank you for your comedy, Alex Webb. Brilliantly done.
"Gotham Knights is the worst DC game."
(Suicide Squad: KTJL materializes) "You were saying?"
1:07 WAS THAT RED RIGHT HAND BY NICK CAVE OVER THERE?
The insert from The Bear took me out LOL
Throw crap at me if you want…but I liked Gotham Knights. First people didn’t like it because it wasn’t Arkham, then they just hopped on the hate wagon. Games actually good.
I think the timing of the game was wrong… but there IS some legitimate criticism on the other side. Though anything that is anything (even an absolute masterpiece) can be criticised so only those who have actually played the game can say anything.
Those who don’t like a game before playing and comment their hate despite not playing it are just shallow.
7:58 he’s done none lethal stuff before hell the run red hood rebirth the one you used in your video didn’t have him kill anyone until the end
At this rate we'll get a Peacemaker game before a decent Batman Beyond game
What I find interesting and kind of scummy is that WB Montreal didn't say Gotham Knights was connected to the Arkham games at first, but they didn't exactly say it wasn't. They definitely used the rumors and hype to their advantage, or disadvantage as the case may be.
When it came out Origins was being compared to the previous Arkham games
Now a days we hope a game can be a fraction as good as Origin
