    Fun fact about the Grey Ghost episode in BTAS, what happens to Simon Trent (the actor who played grey ghost) happened to Adam West.
    In the story Simon is unable to work due to the fact that everybody still sees him has the Grey Ghost till Batman came and helped him. For Adam West after he finished playing Batman he had a lot of trouble getting work since everybody still saw him as Batman, (which is almost a forced early retirement for actors) this lead him to hate Batman till someone from BTAS reached out and asked him if he wanted to voice a character in the show, this is what got him into voice acting and saved his career.
    Just like in the show, Batman saved Adam West.

    I actually liked what they did with the Character bios. Instead of having the Bios trying to explain who the characters were in the games, they explained who the characters were in the greater Batman comics universe, and why those characters are important. From that, you can then see how their characters were tweaked or altered to fit within the Arkham storyline.

    • @Ayyothatsbrandogaming

    Always remember, Arkham Asylum was developed in celebration of 70 years of Batman. It was a love letter to the fans. While there were obviously plans for a sequel, Rocksteady couldn't have known if that would ever actually happen. Because there was no franchise yet, Asylum's character bios were intended as nothing more than Easter eggs for Batman fans.

    26:33 The theory I have for why the crime rate went down is because, to my knowledge, all the big-name villains were working together in preparation for the events of Arkham Knight. Basically, they would all agree to keep quiet and not draw any attention to themselves by becoming law-abiding citizens. They weren't reformed, they were just waiting for their time to strike.

      Exactly. They were pooling their resources, drawing up a plan, and cutting back on unnecessary skirmishes. Especially since they were teaming up, there's no reason for them to fight each other on the streets while vying for power. The only reason to do that would be to maintain optics, but the cost probably outweighed any benefits.
      Let Batman and GCPD get lulled into a sense of false confidence, then hit them in one coordinated strike together. And technically it worked, the Batman "died" that night.

    @BonnieFluff Рік тому +376

    The Scarab symbol is actually another reference to A Serious House. Not only does Amadeus' mother spit them out during the first few pages, they're seen as a symbol of rebirth, which lines up with the sheer breadth of occult references Grant Morrison puts into his work. So, the beetle being everywhere in Arkham is two-fold: the inmates being "rehabilitated", becoming new people (not that it ever was) and the other is Sharp's belief that he's possessed by Amadeus, a type of 'rebirth'.
    You also missed another Killing Joke reference; while chasing Scarecrow into the sewers of the Asylum, if you go up to the control area near where you beat all those thugs at the bottom of the lift, you'll find the "You don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps." desk sign from the start of the comic. I'm not 100% sure but I think there's also an interview tape near it.

    "Jingle Bells, Batman smells..." was being sung well before Batman the Animated series. There's an article on the CBR website with a scanned newspaper clip from 1967 saying further that the song was around since at least 1966.

    Another Idea to help explain the change is that after AC, Deadshot retired to take care of his daughter (from the ending of the Assault On Arkham movie) after coming to close death from Protocol 10 due to nearly getting hit by the missles (potentially from failing to kill Batman) and that the new Deadshot we see in SSKTJL is a friend of the OG Deadshot who took up the mantle

      It’s funny because there was a second Deadshot briefly in the New 52 named Will Evans. So I don’t understand why Warner Bros wanted Rocksteady to conform to the DCEU’s brand synergy by race swapping Floyd, when Will (someone who was already black to begin with) already existed and Bloodsport would be more worthy of an adaption since he’s more recent/is in an actually good movie

    Okay, on the Deadshot point, I think maybe it could be better if the "real one" was the one in AO and AC, but the new guy was simply taking up the mantle. Consider Ra's, another assassin. Ra's wanted Batman to kill him to take the mantle, so maybe this new Deadshot did something like that.

      I'd much prefer that over saying the OG one with a decade-long career was the fake, but I almost think I'd prefer them just admitting it's a retcon to his appearance. It wouldn't be the first time. Gordon's infamous for it, Joker in Origins, Poison Ivy in Knight, and frankly the entire series losing it's distinct art style in favor of almost absolute realism going into Knight.
      I do wonder if the fake-Deadshot thing is actually going to be something in the game, or if it was just a quick little thing some dev or promoter thought up to explain the change.

      Hate to say it but these things are definitely 100% about race and nothing else. Worse part about this is the companies behind the decisions will pretend it has to with inclusivity and diversity but that's also bollocks, the only reason they do this are articles, sales and causing controversy for cloud. Making pretty much everyone in this ordeal kind of a douche. Pretty sure they tried the same thing with Aragorn (I think) from Lord Of The Rings. Personally I only accept the originals as the real deal and not sloppy seconds forced into the story, which I can only assume people from other ethnicities with a bit of dignity would also not accept.

    The most likely reason for Arkham inmates not wearing any shoes is the electrified flooring placed in some of the cells. It still shocks Batman not because he's secretly shoeless but because the power is amplified by Harley, the lack of shoes on the inmates is probably for better conduction into the inmates.

Hard shoes are easy to use as a weapon, so in Arkham I can imagine the staff deciding not to allow their patients to have ANY shoes. I mean if anyone could turn a grippy sock or cloth slipper into a weapon, it's someone like Joker.

    I always thought they never wore shoes in asylum because of the ground based control methods like the shock panels in the penitentiary. As well as it being the criminally insane, they could hide things in hidden compartments in shoes.

    There’s something you missed out on while discussing other characters in free roam. In Knight, there’s an alternative method you can do in the map “Rise and Shine”. Two technically. Grapple gun characters can go to the lowest area and climb onto a ladder and clip outside of the map boundaries with that. It can be inconsistent, but it’s incredibly easy, especially for those who do not wish to master zips. The second method can be a pain and is the only one that Catwoman and Harley can do. Go to the monorail platform and walk towards the station you lower the bridge from Bleake Island to Miagani Island on. There’s a bit you can crouch walk on in the middle. If you get the positioning and timing right, you should successfully clip outside the wall.
    Slamming unconscious thugs: You can always do this after knocking thugs out. You just need to do the quickfire input for the REC.
    Lunatics: Another minor detail, but you could see the hanging bodies and possibly corpses of the lunatics in Wonder City after Bruce coughs up some blood and your max health is lowered for a second time.

    One theory that I only came up with the past few weeks is that Arkham was one of the many universes changed by Flashpoint. The story came out a couple months before City and it could explain a couple inconsistencies like some bios, audio tapes and bios designs not matching up and the sequels being (slightly) less cartoony than Asylum.

  • @Thefantasticroll5090
    @Thefantasticroll5090 Рік тому +9

    Personally, I always interpret ras dying as the true ending because I feel like with everything that’s happened that night, he wanted Gotham to be the most safest it’s ever been before he’s gone. and not only that, I feel like it makes the ending a lot stronger that Batman finally breaks his number one rule right before the end of basically his whole Batman career and pulling the plug, it actually feels like a great finale.
    Personally, I believe the reason why, with joker he was willing to save him was because he would still be there to stop him, but in this case, I feel like he’s not gonna be there to stop ra’s Al ghul so obviously it would make the most sense for the safety of Gotham if he unfortunately kills him.
    It’s also important to take into account that in Arkham city he was the reason why protocol 10 happened in the first place because he helped Hugo strange make it a reality and they killed a lot of people that day when that plan went into action so it’s safe to say he is a threat Ras Al goul.
    And let’s not forget the fact that the Lazarus pit is slowly turning him into a zombie and slowly turning him insane, which would make him more violent and more likely to want power, which would mean that if Batman wasn’t there, he would start to want to take over Gotham eventually for all we know.
    And here’s my biggest point, remember when Batman was completely willing to kill Solomon Grundy? He literally punched his heart out of his chest to kill him, so that begs the question, why would he kill Solomon Grundy if he’s technically alive? Shouldn’t he not kill him either technically? But then I believe someone said that he basically doesn’t kill anybody who isn’t a monster or undead, which would make sense because he’s already dead right? So if you really think about it, Batman killing ras al goul at this point, would actually make sense, because ras was supposed to be dead a long time, but he kept using the pit over and over again to cheat death, but as a result of this, he started to slowly go insane, and slowly started to become more monstrous overtime, which means ras al goul is undead and as shown in the DLC also monstrous and slowly losing his mind. Hell he can barely form a coherent sentence which already should tell you that he is slowly losing it and it doesn’t help that he looks like an undead corpse. So I think it would make sense that Batman would see now that by letting him go, he’s potentially putting all of the people in Gotham’s lives at risk in the future. So I think that just makes it even more valid for him to do what he did.
    and the last thing I’d like to bring up is the choice that you can make is Catwoman to leave Batman to die or save him. Now I get that it’s not Canon, but it gives you a good idea what would happen if Batman failed to stop joker, if you leave Batman to die, it shows you an end credit scene and you can hear Oracle in the background calling for help as joker is way too powerful and is basically taking over Gotham and who knows the world at that point, and they are literally unstoppable. The reason why I bring this up is because it just shows you how dangerous the Lazarus pit actually is and how deadly it can be in the wrong hands, and ras is one of them. For we know he might start putting all of his assassin league in the pit two to make them as powerful as him who knows and that’s why it’s important to take into account.
    Here’s a bonus one: I get the bat family exists, but they don’t know the assassin league the way, Batman does. In the two-faced DLC, we see that Robin almost gets killed by two face so we know he’s not perfect and can definitely make a mistake. As for the others like I said, they much don’t how dangerous the assassin league actually are, and don’t understand how powerful they are they could easily get killed off all we know, so make a lot of sense for Batman to save them to trouble and get rid of them especially when he doesn’t have a choice if you really think about it.
    But that’s just my reasoning you can believe it but I personally think it’s more poetic that it goes out this way, and it definitely makes a lot of sense considering the following .
