My personal take: Bruce knew that criminals will not take batman seriously after realizing that he is just a guy in a bat-suit, because batman can not do what he does if everyone knows who he is. so he fakes his death and comes back as full-time batman (with fear toxin) to make people think that Bruce Wayne was not the real batman after all.
@@CYBERUS212 after which the manor explodes, faking his death. Since the Batman continues to prowl the streets, everyone can only assume that Bruce Wayne wasn’t Batman.
@@logann.5355 id just assume he faked his death like how is there any other possible way.... im not arguing lol im just trying to imagine myself without the knowledge of a person playing the game
Here's what I think; when Wayne Manor blows up, people think Batman died. Since his identity was revealed, they know he's only human, and they think a villain blew him up. When Batman seemingly returns back from the dead as a flaming bat demon (due to the fear toxin), criminals would be even more scared of him since they would think he literally came back from the dead and became supernatural and truly unstoppable.
@@CYBERUS212 what i think is that the general public never knew that Batman was just a human, they probably thought of him as an entity. So when bruce was unmasked, it was probably a letdown for the public to think that Batman was just a human. After bruce died, and Batman is still roaming around, the general public will probably think it was just a cover up and someone used bruce Wayne as a scapegoat.
Starting off as a young, hotheaded, ambitious and militaristic Batman in origins and seeing this man develop into the calm, concise, and calculated vigilante we see in the later games; only for that militaristic brutal side to rear its ugly head one last time in knight, was such a treat of storytelling. These games are a single experience meant to be played in order and when they’re played in this way they hit so much harder
I just can't imagine Bruce ever doing this. I always pictured the Batman Beyond route making more sense where Bruce fights till he literally physically can't anymore or is killed.
Even in scenarios where the knightfall protocol happens, he isnt actually dead. He just makes it seem like he is. So that he can continue being batman, but now with it being far more difficult to actually find out who batman is. I would honestly like a story where batman did die though, and hope gotham knights doesnt just bring him back out of nowhere

No, he quit because he knew that if the Criminals knew that the guy in a Bat Suit is just some Billionaire, they wouldn't take him as seriously, as they did before. And they also would be able to attack him anytime, anywhere - limiting completely his Personal Life.

@@rvt_jimz9573 well, it's Batman's modus operandi. In Batman Begins there is a great quote: "As Bruce Wayne i can be destroyed, ignored, but as a symbol - I can be everlasting". The purpose was for criminals to think that Batman is not just a guy in a suit, but something worse. And people are afraid of things they don't know. That's the most primal fear there is. So thing is not beat the crap out of criminals. It's to make them scared of thinking of perpetraing a crime because the bat is watching and when he gets them, there is no escape.
THANK YOU KEVIN CONROY FOR EVERYTHING YOU ARE, WERE AND WILL BE THE BATMAN FOR ALL OF US. YOU DID NOT DIE, YOU ONLY BECAME SOMETHING GREATER, YOU BECAME A LEGEND
Bruce’s message at the end of this video isn’t the same one from the end of the Arkham games, look at the animation style. It’s the beginning of the next Batman game coming out.
I think that it has nothing to do with fear toxin, It's just a stylized cinematic to show what the criminals see now. A legend. Since the batman supposedly dead, his existence is constantly being questioned like a legend. Spreads fear to every criminal in gotham.
That's another way to think about it. You can't kill a symbol. Only make the bearer a martyr. When the person is dead, the legend can no longer be tarnished.
That explosion from mansion doesn't mean that batman is dead. He might have done it himself to protect identities of, NW, R, BW. I I'm 90% certain that we will see him in the next game, I'm hyped on this 😎😎😎
It’s been years since this has happened I don’t know if Rocksteady has confirmed it, but The Batman isn’t dead. I’ve been wrong so if I am I’m willing to accept it. W game.
It's unclear whether he's alive, or if he's dead and the Nightmare Batman was someone else. Could actually be Azrael, seeing as he tried to replace Batman. And the method of using a Fear Gas and Fire fits Azrael both in the Game and in the Comics (his Bat Suit in the Comics has build-in Fire Cannons). If you are talking about the "Gotham Knights" then have in mind that it's NOT a Continuation to the "Arkham" Games and is set in a different Universe. It's also based on the "Court of Owls" Storyline from the Comics, which is why people assume that he isn't actually dead.
@@TheCursedCat1927 It's absolutely not Azrael. He's either in prison, or busy dismantling the Order of Saint Dumas. Besides, it was the Order brainwashing him to become batman, he doesn't actually want to be Batman. I don't know why people assume somebody is using fear toxin and assuming the role of Batman. It's pretty obvious that there is no Batman, and that the thing is a hallucination caused by lingering fear toxin side effects, something that was built up throughout the game.
@@captaincaptain2128 I gave Azrael as just an example - I don't actually think it's him. And the reason people think that there actually is someone, is because we are told that Ivy's Plant pretty much cleared out the Gas completely.
@@TheCursedCat1927 I know ivy's plant cleared the gas, but it's established on multiple occasions throughout the game that there are lingering side effects due to exposure to the gas. Batman lives on as a legend, and anytime the criminals commit crimes, they see the fear version of him because they still fear him. That's how Batman lives on. Remember, Crane was using a new type of fear toxin, and when you're on Staggs ship, they make mention of lingering side effects multiple times. We also see the lingering side effects in several characters. Also remember, the only people exposed to the toxin were criminals. It's spelled out pretty clear, although I've also played the game to completion dozens of times, so I've memorized pretty much the entire game. Of course, the game doesn't definitively give an answer, but it's heavily implied through all the clues throughout the game, and none of the other theories make any sense.
Just to clarify: Timestamp 5:30 forward is from Gotham Knight, the new game that is releasing this year. Gotham Knight is not part of the Arkham universe, they have confirmed it already.
This isnt the comment we deserve but the one we need! All jokes aside thank you so much. The new robin the diffrent looking bruce, i was so confused by the second part.
The Arkham series is my absolute favorite. I remember my dad bought me all the figures up until I graduated high school. Can’t believe it’s been 7 years
Bruh we need Batman Arkham reboot featuring a young Bruce Wayne, we haven't have Batman content since 2015 that's 7 years ago and The Batman makes a diehard fan cry big time
@@marii.spazzout I know, and always hate the experience of time flying by fast( especially the good years) 2015-2017(there were some areas that made me stress tho) was epic and they were my college years. I met so many great people who are now long gone and doing their own thing, and I also met alot of women who never thought I would befriended with and there is one who is still crazy about me and feeling very sad of not supposedly seeing me anymore. But yeah if had chance to go back, I would just to relive the experience.
@@gamingarachnid3367 yeah, but this I want them bring in a new engine and make the people look more realistic with realistic body proportions like in the vein of The Batman 2022. I want them to travel into Bloodhaven, Gotham, and Arkham combined.
Batman didn’t die. Batman didn’t quit. Instead, Batman hung up the name Bruce Wayne. Ppl don’t no that Bruce Wayne did with his parents, and that from his ashes, the Batman was born. Batman is not a mask for Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne is a mask for Batman. Doing what just happened now allows Batman 2 work his job full time without having 2 worry abt the board meetings and all that shit. Batman freed himself by doing that. The ending just shows Batman using modified fear toxin on criminals
No one actually knows what the Ending actually shows, because to this date Rocksteady still didn't say if Batman actually died in that Explosion, or if he didn't.
@@spider-man8112 You do realize that the way that Ending is made, it is only suppose to make you think that it's actually Bruce, right...? There doesn't really need to be anyone at all.
To this day I’m still confused😂 I want to believe that Bruce just faked his death, but what about the ghost bat at the end, did that have something to do with scarecrow’s toxin?
He died as much as he died back in the movie Dark Knight Rises. 😂 And the end is just a figure of speech, a staging. Not everything has to be so litteral, but if you don't have the soul of a poet and you don't like reading you can say Bruce just came back but only as Batman now no more living the life of Bruce Wayne in public.
Supposedly the real Bruce Wayne is dead now, he is dead. There’s no more Bruce Wayne. Now it’s Batman, the real Batman. Batman will now put more fear into thugs.
But these arent' even in the same universe/continuity. Bruce said he triggered the cave destruction, and GCPD can't be trusted since Gordon died. In the original Arkham ending, he blew up the mansion and then Gordon lived to become mayor
Plus Damian doesn’t exist, Barbara is crippled, Red Hood works alone, and Mr Freeze left Gotham with his wife. The only reason people are confused is because Batman is also seemingly dead in this universe. That’s the only similarity.
Nah he’s not afraid of anything. He was afraid of becoming a monster like joker hence why he kept seeing joker as they are basically opposites. They both are insane in their own way. When joker died bat man felt as tho he lost part of himself
@@devantesukram6082 Batman is not insane. He doesnt do a single thing that an insane person would do. He was afraid of becoming the Joker because batman PROTECTS people and Joker KILLS and TORTURES people for fun
If only this were live action DC would sky rocket as the most grossing cinematic universe just like Marvel. damn DC with comics, games, animated movies is GOAT
Fun fact you can see calendar man in the crowd right before it zooms in on the manor and in Arkham city he said that he was there at his beginning and he will be there at his end
I’m still confused if this is a different universe or the same Arkham universe where Batman really died he blew his cave on purpose but he didn’t kill himself right?
He didn't kill himself. He would never take Alfred with him. Also, Wayne Manor is complex. They may have gone underground like they did in Batman begins the movie.
That clip at the end is not in the Arkham series, that's from the new batman game Gotham Knights which I'm pretty sure was confirmed to have nothing to do with the Arkham series, it's not even made by the same devs, the devs of the Arkham series are making the suicide squad game which is set in the Arkham Universe
as much as it’s dog shit that they decided to do that, it also opens new opportunities and allows them to retcon some stuff. like the ages, and Barbara being Married to tim
@@theMcWOPPER Wouldn't say that it's a "Continuation" as much as just set in the same Universe. "Continuation" implies it continuing the Story from the previous games, and it's not doing that.
@@theMcWOPPER Well, not really. They are still the Justice League. They got corrupted by Brainiac's Mind Control. Something that in the Comics happend even when Bruce was around.
@@MrTaminomimo It had a massive amount of bugs on all Platforms, and was poorely ported to PC, with a lot of Performence Issues that even Rocksteady akcnowledged. Rocksteady literally took around 3 months to fix everything with a quite big (both in an amount, and in Gigabites) Patch. It wasn't flawless at the Premiere and a lot of Major Issues weren't fixed untill 2 weeks after release. It is now nearly perfect.
@@MrTaminomimo boring bat mobile section and non existent boss fights, not to mention arkham knight plan to kill batman was super dumb, yeah no, it wasn’t near perfect
It had its moments, that's for sure. Those tank battles though. The worst thing they ever added to a Batman game. A few would have been fine, but this was overkill. Tank battles over and over again. Then more tank battles. Then you fight the Arkham Knight in a tank. Then you fight Deathstroke in a tank. Complete bullshit. That Deathstroke battle was the worst boss fight ever.
Imagine being a genius super villian and you find out batman's secret identity, discover schematics for his mansion and its just like Building material includes: Cement, steal beams, C4, PLASTIC EXSPLOSIVES, glass, wood, etc
As cool as this ending seemed, I don't really see it as the end of Bruce's story. To me, that only happens when Terry McGinnis takes of the mantel of the Dark Knight; HE (in my opinion) is the only one worthy of wearing the cowl. Why...because while he doesn't have the rest of the Bat Family's brains, he has more heart than all of them; more than Dick, Tim, Jason and especially Damien (the little "B" word)
I was told that Gotham knights wasn't set in the same universe, and yet the beginning of Gotham Knights feels a lot like a continuation of Arkham Knight. It seems like a natural progression.
The only sad thing about how Arkham Knight ended is that Batman is dead. The symbol of Batman died when Gotham saw Bruce Wayne was Batman, as Bruce once said “as a symbol I can be indestructible” but once the person behind symbol is shown it’s no longer a symbol that works
I'm curious if Bruce will show up in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. I don't think he's dead, and I could see him providing some intel support in that game
Maybe. I could see him making a cameo, possibly confirming what actually happened at the end of Knight and what the fear toxin batman was actually about. But I don't think we'll get a big batman rebirth or reunion, most likely just a cameo with Bruce possibly lending some behind the computer aid or something like that. Anything else would defeat the purpose of the ending and ruin his sacrifice. Personally, I'd just rather move on and let the Batman remain a mysterious legend, and not touch the iconic arkham franchise.
@@nazeirsvibingandstuff769 oddly enough Gotham Knights is going to be separate continuity from the Arkham games, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League continues the Arkham continuity
@@nazeirsvibingandstuff769 tell you you're wrong? Okay. You're wrong. It's been confirmed by literally everybody at this point, including wb games and the devs themselves wb Montreal. Not to mention the insane retconns the game has proving definitively it's not in the arkham universe. Suicide Squad is though.
He didn't quit he just had to prepare the knightfall protocol cause since scarecrow revealed Batman's identity and then his house blew up and died with Alfred
at the end in the top roof , i have the feeling its red hood becoming batman i dont know why but i have this feeling that he will use scarecrow drug to give a big scare to criminals without killing them
I'm still waiting for the Batman game where Bruce will return. I think we all know he is "dead", but not that dead. He is still watching from the shadows how his team protects Gotham.
My personal take: Bruce knew that criminals will not take batman seriously after realizing that he is just a guy in a bat-suit, because batman can not do what he does if everyone knows who he is. so he fakes his death and comes back as full-time batman (with fear toxin) to make people think that Bruce Wayne was not the real batman after all.

@@TheCursedCat1927 lol so u saying the point being superheroes is to make hte villain afraid?? if the villain not afraid then you quit superhero? 🤣🤣🤣, look that only lame excuse. I compare to Ironman is because u said billionaire, and yes Ironman also billionaire, and he not always be ironman, he also being tonystark when government wanna take his suit tech, he house also get rocket by teroris and jeopardize her fiancé's safety, did Tony start quit?? noooo he being ironman until he die, and I think batman quit because he being darker and darker, he being a new threat to Gotham city, that why batman quit. the reason villain not afraid of him, make him quit batman is lame excuse. 🤣🤣🤣
@@rvt_jimz9573 well, it's Batman's modus operandi. In Batman Begins there is a great quote:
"As Bruce Wayne i can be destroyed, ignored, but as a symbol - I can be everlasting".
The purpose was for criminals to think that Batman is not just a guy in a suit, but something worse. And people are afraid of things they don't know. That's the most primal fear there is. So thing is not beat the crap out of criminals. It's to make them scared of thinking of perpetraing a crime because the bat is watching and when he gets them, there is no escape.
Still an excellent scene.
Same here I love this scene

THANK YOU KEVIN CONROY FOR EVERYTHING YOU ARE, WERE AND WILL BE THE BATMAN FOR ALL OF US. YOU DID NOT DIE, YOU ONLY BECAME SOMETHING GREATER, YOU BECAME A LEGEND
Damn batman never truly die
He didn't
Bruce’s message at the end of this video isn’t the same one from the end of the Arkham games, look at the animation style. It’s the beginning of the next Batman game coming out.
Yesterday watched '' THE BAMAN '' , so much resemblance from Arkham knight game .Thats true Batman i was looking for a decades.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
yeah the baman is good
Ah, yes. Baman. Akam knigh.
i am BAMAN
I think that it has nothing to do with fear toxin, It's just a stylized cinematic to show what the criminals see now. A legend. Since the batman supposedly dead, his existence is constantly being questioned like a legend. Spreads fear to every criminal in gotham.
Maybe both
That's another way to think about it. You can't kill a symbol. Only make the bearer a martyr. When the person is dead, the legend can no longer be tarnished.
@@johnathanargow4762 i don't think that's a batman thing to do. Using the very same toxin a rogue used against innocent people...
@@langitkensahaja125 what? Mugging people in a ally way is innocent?
@@johnathanargow4762 no i'm saying i don't think he'd use a villain's weapon that was used against innocent people.
I cant get enough of this game, its really an amazing game
That explosion from mansion doesn't mean that batman is dead. He might have done it himself to protect identities of, NW, R, BW. I I'm 90% certain that we will see him in the next game, I'm hyped on this 😎😎😎
What next game? Suicide Squad?
Arkham Knight and Gotham Knights are different continuities.
Apparently the Suicide Squad is set in the Batman Arkham verse which would be cool if he popped up
Games are done. But way to explain the obvious.
@@victornieves1794 Gotham knights continues from where Arkham Knight left off
It’s been years since this has happened I don’t know if Rocksteady has confirmed it, but The Batman isn’t dead. I’ve been wrong so if I am I’m willing to accept it. W game.
It's unclear whether he's alive, or if he's dead and the Nightmare Batman was someone else.
Could actually be Azrael, seeing as he tried to replace Batman.
And the method of using a Fear Gas and Fire fits Azrael both in the Game and in the Comics (his Bat Suit in the Comics has build-in Fire Cannons).
If you are talking about the "Gotham Knights" then have in mind that it's NOT a Continuation to the "Arkham" Games and is set in a different Universe.
It's also based on the "Court of Owls" Storyline from the Comics, which is why people assume that he isn't actually dead.
@@TheCursedCat1927 It's absolutely not Azrael. He's either in prison, or busy dismantling the Order of Saint Dumas. Besides, it was the Order brainwashing him to become batman, he doesn't actually want to be Batman. I don't know why people assume somebody is using fear toxin and assuming the role of Batman. It's pretty obvious that there is no Batman, and that the thing is a hallucination caused by lingering fear toxin side effects, something that was built up throughout the game.
Gotham Knights isn't part of the Arkham Universe.
@@captaincaptain2128
I gave Azrael as just an example - I don't actually think it's him.
And the reason people think that there actually is someone, is because we are told that Ivy's Plant pretty much cleared out the Gas completely.
@@TheCursedCat1927 I know ivy's plant cleared the gas, but it's established on multiple occasions throughout the game that there are lingering side effects due to exposure to the gas. Batman lives on as a legend, and anytime the criminals commit crimes, they see the fear version of him because they still fear him. That's how Batman lives on. Remember, Crane was using a new type of fear toxin, and when you're on Staggs ship, they make mention of lingering side effects multiple times. We also see the lingering side effects in several characters. Also remember, the only people exposed to the toxin were criminals. It's spelled out pretty clear, although I've also played the game to completion dozens of times, so I've memorized pretty much the entire game. Of course, the game doesn't definitively give an answer, but it's heavily implied through all the clues throughout the game, and none of the other theories make any sense.
Just to clarify:
Timestamp 5:30 forward is from Gotham Knight, the new game that is releasing this year. Gotham Knight is not part of the Arkham universe, they have confirmed it already.
This isnt the comment we deserve but the one we need! All jokes aside thank you so much. The new robin the diffrent looking bruce, i was so confused by the second part.
The greatest villain here is those Damn Riddler Trophies!
one of the best games i've played in a while. I've always hoped DC would make the movies really as good as the games.
This ending hurt my heart
The Arkham series is my absolute favorite. I remember my dad bought me all the figures up until I graduated high school. Can’t believe it’s been 7 years
Arkham series are a true game you can come back to it as many times and never get tired of it.

Bruh we need Batman Arkham reboot featuring a young Bruce Wayne, we haven't have Batman content since 2015 that's 7 years ago and The Batman makes a diehard fan cry big time
2015 was 7 years ago??? Damn
@@marii.spazzout I know, and always hate the experience of time flying by fast( especially the good years) 2015-2017(there were some areas that made me stress tho) was epic and they were my college years. I met so many great people who are now long gone and doing their own thing, and I also met alot of women who never thought I would befriended with and there is one who is still crazy about me and feeling very sad of not supposedly seeing me anymore. But yeah if had chance to go back, I would just to relive the experience.
We kinda had that… Arkham origins
@@gamingarachnid3367 yeah, but this I want them bring in a new engine and make the people look more realistic with realistic body proportions like in the vein of The Batman 2022. I want them to travel into Bloodhaven, Gotham, and Arkham combined.
Batman didn’t die. Batman didn’t quit. Instead, Batman hung up the name Bruce Wayne. Ppl don’t no that Bruce Wayne did with his parents, and that from his ashes, the Batman was born. Batman is not a mask for Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne is a mask for Batman. Doing what just happened now allows Batman 2 work his job full time without having 2 worry abt the board meetings and all that shit. Batman freed himself by doing that. The ending just shows Batman using modified fear toxin on criminals
No one actually knows what the Ending actually shows, because to this date Rocksteady still didn't say if Batman actually died in that Explosion, or if he didn't.
@@TheCursedCat1927 they don't have to. They show it in the game that the batman is still around after KnightFall Protocol.
Also I don't think Alfred could ever be persuaded to actually KILL Bruce
@@spider-man8112
You do realize that the way that Ending is made, it is only suppose to make you think that it's actually Bruce, right...?
There doesn't really need to be anyone at all.
@@jojomojo32
Read the Comics then.
Alfred is ready to do anything, if Bruce is dead-serious that it is neccesery to be done.
To this day I’m still confused😂 I want to believe that Bruce just faked his death, but what about the ghost bat at the end, did that have something to do with scarecrow’s toxin?
He died as much as he died back in the movie Dark Knight Rises. 😂
And the end is just a figure of speech, a staging. Not everything has to be so litteral, but if you don't have the soul of a poet and you don't like reading you can say Bruce just came back but only as Batman now no more living the life of Bruce Wayne in public.
Let’s hope we find out in the new game
Supposedly the real Bruce Wayne is dead now, he is dead. There’s no more Bruce Wayne. Now it’s Batman, the real Batman. Batman will now put more fear into thugs.
@@linden6190 the gotham knights thing is not canon to the arkhamverse btw
@@KakaCarrotCake. I’m not talking about Gotham knights im talking about the new Arkham verse game
Batman:- " Even in death shall i be feared"
But these arent' even in the same universe/continuity.
Bruce said he triggered the cave destruction, and GCPD can't be trusted since Gordon died.
In the original Arkham ending, he blew up the mansion and then Gordon lived to become mayor
Yeah its just a fun video to make. 99% of people know by this point that these two games are in separate continuities
Plus Damian doesn’t exist, Barbara is crippled, Red Hood works alone, and Mr Freeze left Gotham with his wife. The only reason people are confused is because Batman is also seemingly dead in this universe. That’s the only similarity.
@@Corey_Tenderson I don’t think Damien is the Robin in Gotham knights?
@@DucknFope i think he is
@@yobama6052 I looked it up it said Tim Drake
The trailer at the end is for a Bat family game that isn't in the Arkham Verse
I think Bruce was affected by the scarecrow fear toxin His greatest fear was his Identity being revealed
Nah he’s not afraid of anything. He was afraid of becoming a monster like joker hence why he kept seeing joker as they are basically opposites. They both are insane in their own way. When joker died bat man felt as tho he lost part of himself
his greatest fear is if he laugh, yknow what i mean 😉
@@devantesukram6082 Batman is not insane. He doesnt do a single thing that an insane person would do. He was afraid of becoming the Joker because batman PROTECTS people and Joker KILLS and TORTURES people for fun
@@sparshbansal6624 Mentally stable people dont dress up as a bat and beat up criminals because their parents died.
@@manwithaplan7091 I dont think u know what psychotic means man. Batman is neither psychotic nor insane in any way
I really hope that the Gotham Knights game has Dick, Jason, and Tim’s Batman cowls for additional skins! Jason’s Battle for the Cowl look is badass 👏
Never had fun like in this game
If only this were live action DC would sky rocket as the most grossing cinematic universe just like Marvel.
damn DC with comics, games, animated movies is GOAT
Talk about a MOVIE-LEVEL epic conclusion 🦇
6:17: Nick Diaz cameo
BRB, gonna go back and 100% the entire series
Just once I would like to see BRUCE tell DICK and the others how he feels about them all.
He’s too reserved. Will probably never see it
Playing this the first time I wondered if they were gonna do the ending like Dark Knight Returns and I was right
Fun fact you can see calendar man in the crowd right before it zooms in on the manor and in Arkham city he said that he was there at his beginning and he will be there at his end
During the explosion you can hear the Lego breaking sound
And this leads to Batman beyond bb let’s go
I’m still confused if this is a different universe or the same Arkham universe where Batman really died he blew his cave on purpose but he didn’t kill himself right?
He didn't kill himself.
He would never take Alfred with him.
Also, Wayne Manor is complex. They may have gone underground like they did in Batman begins the movie.
Gotham Kinght is in a different universe,
different universe
Completely different universe
Doesn't matter what universes, it doesn't seem like Bruce will be selfish enough to take Alfred with him for his own personal purpose.
and that's why batman beyond was born right after this game
older Bruce and Terry teaming up
- Batman: Some of the tech is outdated
- Robin: teleports
That clip at the end is not in the Arkham series, that's from the new batman game Gotham Knights which I'm pretty sure was confirmed to have nothing to do with the Arkham series, it's not even made by the same devs, the devs of the Arkham series are making the suicide squad game which is set in the Arkham Universe
Someone ever thought the last scene was scarecrows FEAR TOXIN and just some guy who wore a bat suit?
Nope it's very clear it's Bruce in the batsuit using the toxin.
@@chadjustice8560 Maybe; but there was never been a confirmation or any kind who might that be.
When is this thing finally coming out?!?!
Sucks that the last clip the newest Batman Gotham knights won’t continue the Arkham series
Yeah it's fucking bullshit. Suicide Squad: Kill the justice league is a continuation of the Arkham series.
as much as it’s dog shit that they decided to do that, it also opens new opportunities and allows them to retcon some stuff. like the ages, and Barbara being Married to tim
@@theMcWOPPER
Wouldn't say that it's a "Continuation" as much as just set in the same Universe.
"Continuation" implies it continuing the Story from the previous games, and it's not doing that.
@@TheCursedCat1927 it is doing just that. It's showing how the justice league fell apartment as ap direct result of Bruce/batman's disappearance
@@theMcWOPPER
Well, not really.
They are still the Justice League.
They got corrupted by Brainiac's Mind Control.
Something that in the Comics happend even when Bruce was around.
On the rooftops he looks like Guts from Berserk
I have a hard time believing rocksteady isn’t going to make another Batman game
I hate that this ending was always locked at the end of the game you had to complete all the sign missions or collect all the Riddler trophies
You can kill the man... but that fear... that fear never really dies... it just fades... but it's never truly gone... and it can always come back
find peace, bruce
This is still a good game despite the issues it had
issues ? you are delusional
the game was nearly perfect
@@MrTaminomimo
It had a massive amount of bugs on all Platforms, and was poorely ported to PC, with a lot of Performence Issues that even Rocksteady akcnowledged.
Rocksteady literally took around 3 months to fix everything with a quite big (both in an amount, and in Gigabites) Patch.
It wasn't flawless at the Premiere and a lot of Major Issues weren't fixed untill 2 weeks after release.
It is now nearly perfect.
@@MrTaminomimo Batmobile tank alone made some parts of the game horrible
@@MrTaminomimo boring bat mobile section and non existent boss fights, not to mention arkham knight plan to kill batman was super dumb, yeah no, it wasn’t near perfect
It had its moments, that's for sure. Those tank battles though. The worst thing they ever added to a Batman game. A few would have been fine, but this was overkill. Tank battles over and over again. Then more tank battles. Then you fight the Arkham Knight in a tank. Then you fight Deathstroke in a tank. Complete bullshit. That Deathstroke battle was the worst boss fight ever.
Imagine being a genius super villian and you find out batman's secret identity, discover schematics for his mansion and its just like
Building material includes: Cement, steal beams, C4, PLASTIC EXSPLOSIVES, glass, wood, etc
As cool as this ending seemed, I don't really see it as the end of Bruce's story.
To me, that only happens when Terry McGinnis takes of the mantel of the Dark Knight; HE (in my opinion) is the only one worthy of wearing the cowl.
Why...because while he doesn't have the rest of the Bat Family's brains, he has more heart than all of them; more than Dick, Tim, Jason and especially Damien (the little "B" word)
I was told that Gotham knights wasn't set in the same universe, and yet the beginning of Gotham Knights feels a lot like a continuation of Arkham Knight. It seems like a natural progression.
The only sad thing about how Arkham Knight ended is that Batman is dead. The symbol of Batman died when Gotham saw Bruce Wayne was Batman, as Bruce once said “as a symbol I can be indestructible” but once the person behind symbol is shown it’s no longer a symbol that works
Ayy bro these are two separate universes
Still find it crazy that Calender Man is amongst the crowd at Wayne Manor. SURELY someone would notice him there and be concerned
lol "Bruce quits being batman". My guy died
he got the guts hair
I'm curious if Bruce will show up in Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. I don't think he's dead, and I could see him providing some intel support in that game
Maybe. I could see him making a cameo, possibly confirming what actually happened at the end of Knight and what the fear toxin batman was actually about. But I don't think we'll get a big batman rebirth or reunion, most likely just a cameo with Bruce possibly lending some behind the computer aid or something like that. Anything else would defeat the purpose of the ending and ruin his sacrifice. Personally, I'd just rather move on and let the Batman remain a mysterious legend, and not touch the iconic arkham franchise.
Ya know something tell me I'm wrong but Batman Gotham knight is very much Canon
@@nazeirsvibingandstuff769 oddly enough Gotham Knights is going to be separate continuity from the Arkham games, Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League continues the Arkham continuity
@@nazeirsvibingandstuff769 tell you you're wrong? Okay. You're wrong. It's been confirmed by literally everybody at this point, including wb games and the devs themselves wb Montreal. Not to mention the insane retconns the game has proving definitively it's not in the arkham universe. Suicide Squad is though.
Is Suicide Squad and Gotham Knights in the same universe? Or same universe as Arkham?
I wonder if there is a code white where batman doesnt kill himself and removes the mask. He calls on all his comrades to aid him in the light now.
Just how amazing are these games
*Owch, the Joker did put a smile on his face!*
Anybody else see calendar man right there at 1:47
Creepy he kept his word of being there for the death of batman
Ray Liotta really buffed up for this role! 👀
He didn't quit he just had to prepare the knightfall protocol cause since scarecrow revealed Batman's identity and then his house blew up and died with Alfred
I don’t believe they died
Batman Forever
The second clip is from Gotham Knights, which isn’t part of the Arkham universe. It’s a different continuity
Goodbye Jim, I’m going to Paris to sip tea lol
3:55 a cowardly superstitious lot wasn't that a song from batman beyond?
they literally just summoned a ritual to bring batman back.
Not the pearls again (eye roll)
Calendar man is in this custscene
As he said he was in the beggining and he will be in his end
Some people don't understand Gotham is like putting the cartel on level 10 and putting them all in Chicago and organized
Which the new "The Batman" Movie shows perfectly.
Everything and everyone is fuckin corrupt.
I’m so excited for Gotham Knights cause even though I’m a big fan of the Arkham Series, I’ve been wanting to play as the bat family for a long time.
Imagine the dead version the spirit or whatever it is imagine he fought the marvel and DC cinematic universe
I’d love a continuation of the Arkham games, but Batman beyond with Bruce being a mentor for terry
at the end in the top roof , i have the feeling its red hood becoming batman i dont know why but i have this feeling that he will use scarecrow drug to give a big scare to criminals without killing them
I'm still waiting for the Batman game where Bruce will return. I think we all know he is "dead", but not that dead. He is still watching from the shadows how his team protects Gotham.
"batman died" lol there funny he just walked out the back door
If only Gotham Knights was the aftermath of the Arkham games
Anybody else notice Jason Todd looks like young Nick Diaz here?? The resemblance is uncanny and if it was intentional it was a pretty good choice
It was intentional, I believe.
He knew it was gonna happen it was just a matter of time
Batman es tan basado que nadie pudo matarlo solo él pudo hacerlo
He finally got rid of his mask there's just his true self there's just the Batman..
If a batman of the future game comes out i will inmediatly buy it
