Origins has the best story
Boss fights
And levels
Other games made other things better
Asylum atmosphere
City all in one
Knight visuals and Gameplay
Sadly i dont like arkham knights levels and the lack of bossbattles ruined it for me.
And tbh the story twist sucks really bad since the entire story is building on this twist.
The ending was good though and it plays like a charm
Rocksteady won’t be doing anything. They shot themselves in the foot when they made _Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League._ They should just file for bankruptcy.
SSKTJL Is Not Canon
Origins 😁
City, and Riddler
This is the Batmans story was finished with knight and suicide squad does not exist button.
I mean makes no sence to have King Shark if he was killed of in Assult on Arkham
I agree
Oh but It does exist, even if you are btt hurt it exists, just like civil war 2 or the maximofs non mutant origins, that's another example why thrying to appeal to movie viewers is always re. Trdd
@@Saddonghusseinit isn’t. Sefton Hill decided to abandon ship before it was released. Meaning there will be no new Arkham games. He thought it was not going to work.
@@greytakerrev7147 it's still part of the story, just like mgs v bs, or the zombies one, those shty games are still canon to the metal gear series
Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League never happened.
Agree, but what are we talking about?
@@jalontillmon2807 Christmas who?
@@jalontillmon2807 He must be in a different timeline or something.
Even Mojoplays wants to consider Arkham Knight as a real conclusion to Arkham Batman
Because it is.
Honestly who doesn’t? Besides the idiots running Warner obviously.
Well it’s not
@@lukelaps9298 why because of the game that is being made by what you think is the same rocksteady but no longer they are just a skeleton crew. Just because a company who doesn’t give a shit about a game makes one that has a strong IP slapped on to give it any relevancy to have anyone play doesn’t mean it is universally canon to that universe.
@@greytakerrev7147 no because it was literally said to be and very clearly is
Rip Kevin Conroy aka Batman I miss you so much 😢
His epic voice of Justice and Vengeance is echoing throughout heaven.
@@jonathanshaw9704 indeed and you are right about that
Batman: Arkham Knight will always be Kevin's true farewell.
@@callmejacob3234 agreed and also justice league fatal five animated movie.
RIP Kevin Conroy
Words can not express how much I loved Arkham Asylum when it was released, for its engaging narrative, immersive gameplay, the portrayal of most of Batman's rogues gallery, and capturing DC's dark tone.
Two years later, we got Arkham City, which was even better than Asylum in every way. It transformed the gameplay into more open world-like, with side missions, improvements to the gameplay, new and old villains, and such an emotional journey.
I didn't think that Arkham Origins was as good as the first two games, but I still love it. I still find the narrative engaging, I thought the portrayal of Bane was the best in the series, and the side missions were satisfactory, as well as the DLC. I also thought Blackgate was a good game. Though it could've been better, I still love the idea of an Arkhamverse spin-off on a portable console.
Arkham Knight is not only one of my absolute favourite games, but also, in my own humble opinion, the pinnacle of Batman gaming. Whilst some of the writing could've been better, the story was still amazing. You got to use the Batmobile, the portrayal of Scarecrow is one of, if not, the best, and the amount of content was so immense that it kept me coming back for more.
Then came Suicide Squad, which spat in the face of everything that came before it. Whilst I thought the game was fun to play, what really pissed me off, apart from the live service, was the inconsistent writing. Why expand this universe by bringing in the Justice League? What were they thinking bringing back Batman?
There are two ways Rocksteady can redeem themselves after Suicide Squad. Firstly, release a remaster of Arkham Knight for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Secondly, develop a follow-up to Arkham Knight that completely disregards SS existence and has Tim Drake as the playable protagonist and becoming Batman's successor.
I might be rambling, but this is how much I love the Arkhamverse
I agree with number 2. Ssktjl ruined the story of the Arkham verse in general. So making ssktjl non canon and making a another game when terry McGinnis or someone else becomes the new Batman
100% agree, man! I would love to see this version of Tim become Batman’s successor! Plus, the Arkham games hold such a special place in my heart!
I love Batman Arkham games. But F*** Suicide Squad game. We don’t talk about it end of story. RIP Kevin Conroy.
Hot take
Origins has the best story
Boss fights
And levels
Other games made other things better
Asylum atmosphere
City all in one
Knight visuals and Gameplay
Agreed on all fronts
Agree
46:02 it was actually sefton hill the ceo of rocksteady that had the idea of the suicide squad game.With the live service and batman stuff in mind.
He left in 2020 and left the studio with this mess alone
He left so he won’t get blamed for the game’s failure?
@@cameronmcewen9666 idk but i still remember when the news came out and i was super confused. Well i guess we know why he left now
@@Snaaake_Beateryeah he tried to pitch the idea of a unsustainable ship which was based off the godawful suicide squad movie in 2016. He then probably knew that the game wasn’t going to be successful so he decided to abandon ship before it sunk.
All this timeline is amazing, all except SS:KTJL for obvious reasons. That game definitely feels like an alternative universe to the Arkhamverse, like an elseworld which is the post-game missions. Hope that Rocksteady can redeem themselves with their next single player game that is if it is an Arkhamverse/DC one.
They are actually. They know SS was a complete mess. According to the article. Right now they are working a director cut for Hogwarts Legacy. Not only that but they also pitching a new single player game hopping to bring Rocksteady back to it roots.
@@jsalazar1497 I honestly wish Gotham knights was canon. Rocksteady should make their own version of that
It was the best introduction to gaming someone can have. Because of those games im so picky and criticize many games because even asylum has more details and love then modern games.
Those games were my only games i had on ps3 and i had no internet and ive played them over 14 times 100% and now i speedrun them.
Get suicide squad off that fucking list
Nah cope
This is why I love this series
I miss Kevin Conroy,he was my favorite Batman😢 RIP
For Me The Arkhamverse Ended With Arkham Knight RIP Kevin Conroy
Me Too
46:11
That is either non canon, or took place at a different universe.
Black gate is. What happened to her between that time. She is completely different from her Blackgate game iteration.
It takes place in the arkhamverse cuz I said so
@@BlazerK1914 It is canon it happened at the end of Arkham origins
Suicide Squad isn’t cannon
Correct!
Just because y'all hate the game and say it isnt cannon,doesnt mean its true. y'all can cry about it all you want 😂😂
@@OneDrewThree Get your Ass out of here! Knight is the True Ending to the Arkhamverse!
@@OneDrewThree Fet your ass out of here. Arkham Knight is the true ending to the Arkhamverse.
Cant wait to see how Arkham Shadow fits into this timeline 😊
Also, hopefully some more story can be seen for Suicide Squad Kills The Justice League in future seasons
There is a rumour that Season 2 will begin to see how the Justice League will return
Also, Robin is the only confirmed death in the bat family - Jason, Oracle, Alfred and Dick are all presumably alive
You are really optimistic if you believe that there is going to be a second season and if there is anyone will play it. If there is then it will be one five minute long cutscene like season 1. There is nothing left salvaging off this game even if they bring the justice league back. The story is very weak. This couldn’t be more true given the fact the company has gone on hiatus for any updates involving the game.
@@greytakerrev7147 the game may be dead but WB is still releasing Season 2 on July 11th - I'm guessing they are at least doing the four seasons that have been announced and then the server will end
@@georgeandrews9427 I won’t hold my breath. Also Arkham Shadows is supposed to take place after Arkham origins. The creators of Batman Arkham Origins and the ones who made Gotham Knights are making it.
I love the Batman Arkham Trilogy (Origins too). Those games are my childhood, and I got no problem replaying them
That stupid Suicide Squad game doesn’t exist in my Arkhamverse… the animated Batman: Assault on Arkham movie exists in its place. SS:KTJL is just a miserable, disrespectful joke existing on an alternate Earth or dark alternate timeline.
Great video, keep it up!
Need we forget that Arkham Shadow is part of thr Arkhamverse because it takes place AFTER the events of Arkham Origins and Arkham Origins Blackgate?
The Gotham Knights game may not be the best but at least it had a better send off to Batman than the Suicide Squad game.
suicide squad: kill the rocksteady studio
Don’t you mean, sweet baby Inc.
@@kevingame3198 i never fully understood the controversy with that group
@kittycatwithinternetaccess2356 I stay way from games that are associated with that company protizing the message and dei and esg over good storytelling
@@kevingame3198 funny enough sskjtl is so bad sweet baby has removed that game from their website.
@@kevingame3198 Rocksteady destroyed their own legacy. Sweet Baby just helped.
asylum city and knight will always be the best video game trilogy ever
Rest In Peace Kevin Conroy.
We can just all agree that suicide squad is in a different universe
@@andrewzapata9819 I agree
Agree
I disagree
@@IMysticCobaltI Why?
awesome job about The COMPLETE Timeline Explained from Batman Arkham Series
They forgot the Batman Origins DLC where it shows Bruce Wayne's ninja training.
43:47 "... with his new super power: GUN." Why is this so funny? lmao.
I AM VENGEANCE, I AM THE NIGHT, I AM BATMAN!
kevin conroy will be missed so much he his my batman
I love batman Arkham games best ever I love all of them 😊 and rip Kevin Conroy
Well, that whole timeline of Batman: Arkham is… interesting.
You forgot to mention Mad Hatter in Batman Arkham Knight.
Nice job! Can you guys make another such video about the Injustice timeline?
Upcoming Arkham Shadow will be set between Arkham Origins Blackgate and Arkham Underworld
You forgot the capture of Jason Todd that takes 2 years before the events of Asylum than seeing him escape at the end of the game in the comic
I miss the good Old Days.
There’s no way the Suicide Squad game is ever gonna get a sequel to fix everything, is it?
No Way in Hell!
the only way to fix the timeline mess the suicide squad kill the justice league created is by, focusing on making the final boss mission happen during the day of invasion, and with the squad ordered to kill braniac before he corrupts the league and send him into the past when the wanye manor exploded. Preventing the reveal and the eventual downfall of batman from ever happening.
Arkham City is my favorite game in the series and my favorite villains are Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze
They could use the Lazarus Pit to bring back the Justice League for a redemption story.
arkham shadows coming out this year as well
U can stop after 45:00
I saw that Kill the JL Batmans death scene twice at least. The first time it flew by me like it was pointless. The second time I realized that Batman was holding back since he knew that he couldn't be cured hence why Harley was sad when she shot him and then she gave that monologue over Batman still being a good guy until the very end after the scene.
Unfortunately the execution was horrendous and poorly done. Especially since they laid him out like a child on that bench. His feet were hanging upward like a rag doll when the squad were talking about Superman and that in itself was also a very poor decision made by Rocksteady. It was as if "Batman died.....ok, moving on". This scene could have simply been done better, and not even Kevin would have liked the way this ended up turning out.
What makes this worse is that the character is intertwined with the voice actor. And it causes pain to many considering that the voice actor himself was around since a lot of peoples childhoods. This honestly felt like Rocksteady peeing on a legacy rather than giving an actual proper send off to a well respected and beloved voice actor that is Kevin Conroy.
These people are pissing all over Conroy’s legacy and his grave!
Without the Animated Series, there will be no Batman ❤
The series ended with Arkham Knight, SSKTJL is NOT CANON!!!🙄😒
I hope the SSQ game reveals that the JL are alive and the ones that died were clones.
By far, one of the greatest video game timelines ever told🦇🖤🔥 with Arkham Knight being the true ending to the series.
I’m this videos 200th like
I love it
I love the fact that even though there are people in the comments who claim sskjtl is cannon they still agree it’s awful and has no redeeming qualities.
I still say RAISH, instead of ROZ, when it comes to the pronunciation of Talia's father's name.
I'm playing the last Arkham Game arkham Knight again. It's fun
Batman
Uhhhh MojoPlays the comics and the movie is not conon
It’s not roz al ghul It’s Rashe
The Dark Knight Trilogy called him Roz
True, but in city (and the whole series) he’s called rashe
Roman who ?
The comics , spin off games and film aren’t canon
I'm just the NS 🖤
If you want a good batman Arkham timeline video checkout Suggestive Gamings video. He goes in depth for the Arkham timeline and you can listen to it like a podcast
Then where does Gotham Knights take in the timeline?
GK is a separate continuity, it's not part of the Arkhamverse
@@cj-1021 oh right I always thought it took place after Batman “died” so the robins had to take his place
@@superultraranger5280would have been better then ssktjl.
@@greytakerrev7147 I know right
@@greytakerrev7147 I love how every fan just agrees that Flop Squad never happened.
Suicide squad not canon
I sorry but Suicide Squad isn't canon. Why is it in this video?
If they don't talk about assault on Arkham then this video is wrong
they did
@@cj-1021Yeah but still they did a huge error saying that just like the original story, this game follows the killing joke story, killing joke isn't canon, the only canon part it's the shooting of Barbara, a side from that everything about that comic isn't real in the comics or this games
@@Saddonghusseinthe sskjtl aren’t cannon either right?
@@Saddonghussein the movie does not have any connection to the killing joke. That is false.
@@greytakerrev7147 no one it's talking about the movie, what it's Canon it's the joker shooting Barbara, nothing else, nothing more, and that was confirmed in death of the family, how was Barbara shoot wasn't even how it was shoot in the killing joke, it was said that she got shot and that's it, no pictures, no psycho funhouse trip, no batman trip to the hospital, it was only shooting in her house
😴
Sorry, but that last story will never exist in what i view as the Arkhamverse! Screw that garbage!
Batman Arkham origns is my favorite Arkham game. I think origns blackgate is decent. I like Arkham asylum, I love Arkham City, and I absolutely hate Arkham Knight. It's trash 🗑 and a trash game and sequel. And I think the sucide Squad kills the Justice League. is pretty good, not perfect, but good
U need some help dude
@@ayushnair9251 and you are wrong
