Another more overlooked Batman game is the Dark Knight Rises mobile game. It's nothing super special but it's an Arkham-like game that even has an open world, considering how low powered most phones were back then, it's impressive that a full open Gotham was in it and a watered down combat system that was still pretty fun (at least for 13 year old me when I found it on the app store) and with similar grappling and cape gliding mechanics to the Arkham games it was a damn good time, even if the story was a poorly realised version of the worst movie in the Dark Knight trilogy. It's the only portable Batman game (not counting the PC ports on the steam deck and other handheld PC's) that really adheres to the 3D console Arkham experience, and I wish the PS Vita got a better game than Arkham Origins Blackgate (which is still good but obviously not the same kinda experience as the mainline console counterpart)
@@Limes_not_Lemons very interesting. I avoid mobile games on this channel mainly because a lot of older ones are no longer available. But that title is ambitious for its time and target platform
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a new 2 hour + video from you, Nick. Absolutely love these retrospectives and documentaries, thank you so much for the work you put into them!
Well said. I was really put off by Smith’s performance in Origins-and Troy Baker is so overused, I really wish studios would stop hiring him solely for name recognition and choose actors who are right for the job. Without Conroy, (and someday without Hamill), I worry that this will be a recurring trend for Batman, and that he will never feel the same in any animated or game-based medium.
@@petedonlopezjr.7201 No. Adam West & Michael Keaton were Batman before Kevin Conroy voiced him in B:TAS (and nearly everything that followed featuring the animated Batman).
Another fun fact about Arkham Origins: it does feature one of the original voice actors from the animated series and that's Robert Costanzo as Harvey Bullock!
Thanks! Really dig your style of history telling its smooth and professional, and in depth with all the background and origins. It all flows well into the game itself.
The tribute to Kevin Conroy brought a tear to my eye. That was absolutely beautiful! He gave me, and a lot of people so many amazing, and unforgettable memories over the years. R.I.P. Kevin Conroy. God rest his soul. He was an amazing, humble, and talented human being with a big heart. Truth, vengeance, and justice. He was the definitive Batman. Out of the shadows, and into our hearts. He was a living legend until his last breath. I can't believe that he passed away. My mind still can't process the fact that he's gone. I never met him but, I feel like I lost a great friend. He was kind, talented, and an absolute gem of a human being, and a diamond in the rough. I miss you so much! Thanks for the wonderful memories! Thanks, once again Nick for another stellar video! It was awesome from beginning to end. I'm sure that it took you a long time to make it, but it was well worth the time, and effort. I'm currently playing a few games (A Plague Tale Requiem, Spider-Man, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, and Mad Max). I'm going to start playing Batman: Return to Arkham as soon as I'm finished with those 4 titles. Having said that, Thanks, once again Nick for everything that you do, and for the continued hard work! It really means a lot! God bless and stay safe!
I've watched 10 minute videos that feel like 30 and 4 hour videos that feel like 3 but I've never experienced watching a 2 and a half hour long video in what felt like 20 minutes, this video is probably your best work yet! It was concise and straight to the point while at the same time delving into important and interesting details, the research needed to create something like this is out of this world. Well done Nick!
rest in peace Batman, we know, no matter how far you are, you're always here when the night falls, Kevin, Adam. there will never be any other actors that did the job of batman so well it arguably helped form who the character is today more than any other pieces of non-paper media. God Bless, Rest. From all of us who feel hope, and have our hair raise when see a bat signal, we love you both so much. rest in peace, our batmen.
My god i love the Arkham trilogy. I wasn't a Batman fan at any level but Arkham asylum changed that. I love these games to death. I complete at least one of them every year. It pains me to think i will never get a new Batman arkham game. R.I.P. Kevin. You were and will always be the Batman.
Another banger. The fact that you don't have AT LEAST 1 million subs is actually criminal. Your Docs are simply fantastic man. In my opinion, you and Gvmers are the best of the best when it comes to these kinds of videos. Can't wait to see what you have in store next.
This is the most in depth documentary for batman games. Seems like near end of 2d batman games Era were masterpieces but that transition from 2d to 3d batman games was rough. My favorite batman games was batman nes, arkham city and arkham knight.
Wow, what an absolutely legendary documentary! I remember playing the Acclaim video game based on the first Joel Schumacher film, I was never able to finish it, there was a level where you go to the circus and I could never get past that level. I also remember playing the semi-open world game based on the second film where you get to drive the batmobile, the one that was pre-GTA, I never finished that either as it was a pain to play. Of course I've also played the Arkham series and I've completed Arkham Knight 100% 3 times, once on Xbox and twice on Playstation, I've also completed the two telltale games thanks to them being on Xbox Live Gold. This documentary really brings it all home, what a long history Batman has had. This documentary should be on more than just youtube, it could be on television, it's just so outstanding. Thank you for making this as well as all your other documentaries, the passion you put into making these really makes gaming worth it.
I always have huge respect for creators who put so much effort into creating these documentary style videos. Especially when it comes to superhero media like Batman 😁 thank you for making this.
Thank you for taking the time to create this lovely documentary and provide a detailed history of Batman in general. I have not played the Batman Arkham or Injustice series yet, but have got the chance to play Batman on SNES as a child.
What a documentary my favorite part was the arkham series and the concept art for it is awesome. I've always found joy in these types of videos. Rocksteady truly redefined the superhero gaming genre with the arkham series and it bleeds with passion. I love this series. RIP Mr Conroy.
I got around to watching this and enjoyed it more than I expected. I mean your work is always good but this was a long video and a real showcase for you. To a degree, you followed a single evolutionary path, ignoring the radically divergent series. Showing the evolution of the technology behind the game. Really really good.
I have loved your documentaries since I discovered your channel, and seeing the Batman one finally come true couldn't bring more joy to me! Thank you, Nick!
I swear the amount of time this man puts into these videos is amazing,I love them I be falling asleep to them its like listening to a bed time story.Nick should do a history on the dark souls series,starting from the original demon souls,to dark souls,then bloodbourn and sekiro and elden ring, all the Fromsoftware games pretty much,not sure if it will be a long video,but regardless I would like to see that one,one day hopefully.
Fantastic long summary of the Batman games. Although not *directly* a batman game, there's also Gotham City Imposters that came out on all platforms in 2012 which was pretty well rated and fun to play.
Outstanding job putting this video together, with every post you outdo yourself my friend, this must have been a lot of hard work, recording, editing and producing this long and entertaining video. PRAISES TO YOU MY FRIEND, BRAVO!
Mark Hamill said he's not voicing the joker anymore without having Kevin Conroy there to perform lines with. He said they were a team like laurel & Hardy. RIP Mr Conroy
Excellent Documentary. Very informative, and your delivery is just right. Always look forward to your videos. I loved the Animated Series in the 90s, and Arkham City is one of my favorite games. This is encouraging me to check out the other Arkham games.
Nick930, I watched every second of this video and only played Batman Origins and the beginning of Batman Asylum. You did a great job of not spoiling the games and introduced me to older games I never played. Thanks again for this awesome high quality video.
I probably won't get a chance to watch this till Sunday but just wanted to say I really like your work and have been subscribed for a while. I follow several game reviewers and each of you has a quite distinctive style and focus. This will be interesting because of the number of genres that Batman games have explored as well as the technical advances that these games have witnessed. Looking forward to it and great work.
One of the very best to ever to it, @Nick930 I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. You are the greatest game journalist I have ever met and I wish you to be more successful in many years to come. AMAZING video I’m a HUGE Batman fan and you absolutely KILLED this one
The Nintendo Batman from Sunsoft has the most hours of my life on any video game. So many replays. Thanks Nick for the amazing work as always. Still watching, just that the music made me reminiscent.
i genuinely love how he can cover "the worst (batman or not) video game of all time" and still find a way to spend like a minute praising some of it's good parts. Never forget that many kinds of artists worked their asses off to make that game, and they very likely tried their very very best to make it fun & good.
I highly doubt it. With that logic, developers worked their asses off making Superman 64 and that game was total garbage. Even if they did work their asses off, they still made a shit game. Doesn’t matter if they worked their asses off, if it’s a shit game, then they get no praises or sympathy from me.
@@theshield3643 IDK, I don't get the feeling that people put alot of effort into Superman 64 in any fashion, but in that Batman game, you can tell there was some effort put in for the cinematics etc. Up until about the PS2 era, sometimes a very small team could churn out simple games (like Superman 64) pretty effortlessly. One of the Doom ports was famously literally done by 1 person. Literally a full fledged videogame release for a console, done by 1 person.
I never really understood the criticism on Arkham Origins. It also was a very enjoyable videogame and a worthy entry in this great videogame series. On another note: again an excellent high quality documentary, Nick930!
What am amazing video!! I love Batman and this video brought all the good, the bad and the ugly that came with his video game crusades. Thanks for this one. The Arkham series has to be my favorite. 🦇
I suggest Arkham City if you're craving for more Arkham games ! Best way to experience is via the GOTY edition on PC ( Steam ) , or the original on PS3 / Xbox360 if you don't mind the worse framerate and resolution. Remastered on PS4/5/XB1/Series doesn't run that good and has below-average redone assets by another dev.
@@quantizedanson I love how you assumed that he hasn't played it, just because you prefer that game more than Arkham Knight. Some people really don't realize how they come off to others. Jesus Christ
beautiful documentary and an amazing work at editing and narration, i always enjoy your videos and i want to thank you for your hard work best of luck mate
One aspect I loved about the Arkham games is there is no weapon limitation. Like, you have infinite batarangs and explosive gel. I remember in the PS1 Spiderman game, you had a web cartridge limitation which makes sense, but still kind of sucked to have to go find more. It makes you think about how to play, but sometimes, it's nice to not have to worry about weapon limits.
I really enjoyed Arkham Origins, it's one of my favorite of the Arkham games. It gets a bad rap sometimes I think. This documentary was fantastic by the way!
I’m soooo glad my algorithm lead me to you. You are a treasure. The level of detail you get to and the video editing is mind blowing. Thank you for what you do. This made my day.
Batman Begins Video Game was my first introduction to the universe. But Arkham Asylum was something I'll never forget. Experiencing these characters for the first time ever, I'm very grateful for the success of this game. It began my deep dive into comics, films and series that soon formed my entire childhood. I believe that franchise is responsible for creating an entire generation of superhero fans that even Marvel couldn't replicate in gaming. The entire Marvel roster has dominated the film industry, but the Batman Franchise has single-handedly carried the gaming superhero genre for almost 15 years. Now that's called impressive world-building.
Love the work, care and attention to detail you put into these videos and I very much appreciate that you play the music from the game as you talking about it. But would like if you would note if a game has exceptional music in the future, I feels like the sound design a music of the games you're talking about are the only aspects of them that you're leaving out. Again, great video though.
I don't know much about Batman, but one thing I do like is the grim, almost horror esc take the more modern series has taken, especially with Rocksteady's games. There's something about how Gotham looks and feels, that's truly unique.
Damn good to look at my UA-cam today and see Nick resurface with a banger. 2+ hours aswell. Made my night. One of my favourite creators when it comes to these retrospectives/documentaries. 🤟🏻
I loved the Telltale Batman series, as a huge fan of the comics and just Batman/Bruce Wayne in general it was super cool to be in his shoes and able to make choices
I just discovered your page and am loving it. I subscribed and look forward watching all your videos. Just a suggestion from a fans point of view, I really like to see the cover of the actual game after every introduction

Your editing skills have gotten so so good over the years Nick! Real banger 🤙
you're videos are awesome mate, I'm glad I did subscribe your channel !
congratulation 500k ❤ road to 1 million subscribers 🌹
No joke I was never a Batman fan but Batman Arkham asylum got me into the Batman mythology and since then I'm a die-hard fan
Brother this was truly amazing, thank you for this documentary style history of Batman games/movies.

I love items like “shock gloves” in video games! It’s a fantasy so it’s fun when you’re given freedom.
Love the work, care and attention to detail you put into these videos and I very much appreciate that you play the music from the game as you talking about it. But would like if you would note if a game has exceptional music in the future, I feels like the sound design a music of the games you're talking about are the only aspects of them that you're leaving out. Again, great video though.
I don't know much about Batman, but one thing I do like is the grim, almost horror esc take the more modern series has taken, especially with Rocksteady's games. There's something about how Gotham looks and feels, that's truly unique.
This is probably one of the most informative Batman videos I’ve ever watched, I just loved the way you did this. Need some more Batman content!!!
my god the quality of your video...the editing, the narration, the storyline... you are a natural, dude
I have watched whole video. This is amazing how much work you did and how well it is edited. I raise my hat for you dear sir. And have a good day :)
Love Kevin Conroy so much he was my whole childhood and my adulthood thanks for all of the memories Mr. Conroy RIP🥹
Damn good to look at my UA-cam today and see Nick resurface with a banger. 2+ hours aswell. Made my night. One of my favourite creators when it comes to these retrospectives/documentaries. 🤟🏻
Took me like 3 seating to finally watch but very well done documentary.
Seeing that this was posted only an hour ago made me do a double take, love your videos as always Nick!
Heavily enjoy stumbling across hardwork content like this, its what makes UA-cam worth it.
I loved the Telltale Batman series, as a huge fan of the comics and just Batman/Bruce Wayne in general it was super cool to be in his shoes and able to make choices
appreciate the hours of work you put in to make this video for our entertainment 👏
Great video, this video inspired me to play the Arkham games and I am having a blast with Arkham Asylum.
im huge batman fan and again you suprised me that you actually did your homework good job dude much love
I watched and read so much Batman content over the past several months. Im glad you feel that way
Nice work. This was a great watch.
I just discovered your page and am loving it. I subscribed and look forward watching all your videos. Just a suggestion from a fans point of view, I really like to see the cover of the actual game after every introduction
