I rewatched this part after I filmed and I burst out laughing 🤣 It's just, seeing my soul leave my body as the opera plays really strikes my funny bone hahahah
You can absolutely still slide. & if nobody has told you yet, You should add the DLC to the game before finishing it. The story DLC integrates the new missions into the main game.
So a quick explanation as to why Catwoman didn't have a skeleton. It's the same reason why Batman doesn't and that's because it'd be too distracting to have a glowing skeleton onscreen at all times when you use detective vision. Although that'd be pretty dope. But yeah, the game counts her as a playable character, not NPC.
Welcome to the infamous jump scare of knight haha! Also it is not stupid to tear up about Joker! You are happy to see a character you love! Never be sorry about that!
My brother has toughened me a LOT through jumpscare trauma during our childhood 😅 He used to jumpscare me every chance he had. So now sometimes when I'm really surprised, I just internalize it (freeze response). I don't recommend 🤣
35:22 Just so you know, the game has a dual combat and predator system, the later of which hasn't come up yet. Because of that, any additional character that is also considered a "playable character", does not have a skeleton in detective vision, so that during predator mode you don't confuse them for an enemy, even for PC's that you only control during combat. This applies to a bunch of allies you haven't seen on screen yet. It also applies to Joker, but he's a bit of a special case. Because he's the first character without a skeleton you see, you may think he doesn't show up because he's a hallucination, but he shares this effect with many of Bruce's allies who are definitely real, so it's a bit of a red herring.
If you want to hit drones in their weakspots with the Vulcan gun, your best shot is to stop spamming it. You'll never hit them due to the loss of accuracy of prolonged fire. Precise single shots is the way.
Mmmh... okay I will consider it! I was like 'meh, might as well just hold it and sometimes it'll do damage' but I hadn't taken into account that there might be loss of accuracy...
The RNG for the Man-bat spawning is anytime after the Riddler message with Catwoman is shown. He'll spawn anywhere on the island and the jump scare can happen any time you grapple to a rooftop there. You can spot him before the jump scare and do his mission if you only grapple ton on-rooftops. In other words, fans of the game knew right when to expect it and were ready for your reaction.
@@WhimsyPsyche lol, the thing is Joker sometimes randomly shows up like this and stops us from grappling further. That’s what happened here, he showed up at the worst possible time ever🤣😂
Everyone was waiting on that jumpscare. 😂 43:30 Jewels for a nursery maybe. 😂 Having your personal Joker with you to comment on everything is the best! Super fun episode! Have a nice rest of your weekend, Whimsy!
I hope you've figured out that you don't need to use the machine gun on the Batmobile unless you're going for rockets and small drones. It shakes your curser and makes it harder to just shoot with your big canon. I'm glad you're enjoying the game. Having Joker tag along was one of my favorite things about this story. I know you're many videos ahead, but here is a tip that I didn't find until close to the end game that I found really useful for fighting towers. You can shoot your line launcher while gliding between buildings even at large distances to perch anywhere. I believe you just need to push the left thumb stick down and if you can do it, it will engage, and you'll have a nice spot to sit and either plan out an ambush or just enjoy the view.
@58:03 the Man Bat can spawn anytime you do a long grapple to a building that has a nice rooftop. For me, the jump scare occurred on the way to go to save Catwoman after regaining control of the bridges. I’ve played the game many times and I’ve had the Man Bat spawn on any of the islands.
39:48 I was waiting for this since you started the game. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 It's like the Iceberg Lounge Shark 2.0. And yes, he can spawn anywhere. Psyche Mantis didn't predict that, did she?
Catwoman's lack of skeleton; looked into it because I never noticed...looks like playable characters don't have a skeleton...I'm guessing to keep the screen from being too cluttered...I don't know...
@59:33 the forensic scanner allows you to see objects hidden behind obstacles. For example, you could’ve seen all the tanks that were hidden behind the drawbridge.
I love your intros, they fill one with joy. I also love how you try to do everything possible while you play -although, it gets boring from time to time-, constantly theorizing what will happen next (a lot of times correctly, you're a smart girl). Also, you really get into the game better than me in emotional moments, it's fun to watch. All of these really show how much you are into this and that you are not faking it. I am just sad this is the last arkham game. Hope you'll find a similar game that will be as fun to watch. I look forward to the new episodes
@14:53 there is more than one way to set up the controller for battle mode. The way I set it up is the way that you hit one button and the Batmobile goes into battle mode and stays there until I hit that button again that way I don't have to hold the button to keep in battle mode. I only have to focus on the moving and firing buttons.
1:17:54 from what i heard ,these pods are meant to be like the one in origins' batcave where we can change the suit in-game ,without going all the way to the main menu for it. But for some reason ,Rocksteady have removed it which is so sad. It could have been so useful ,oh well.....
The Man-Bat jumpscare is set to happen right after riddle announces himself of the screen holding catwoman hostage, but you managed to not grapple to a flat roof until you did so there was some delay. Most people (like me) usually grapple on top of the building that held the screen and thus thats were many lets play tend to have the jump scare.
@12:14 ma’am, the game does not say anything or have any indication however, at this point, you are free to roam all three islands if you choose to do so. I usually don’t look for Barbara right away. I go to the other islands and save missing firemen, collect Riddler trophies, etc. This is a welcome breather from following the main game up to this point.
Actually we still can slide ,it's the same " hold run + press crouch " combo. It's just can't do it anywhere ,since there's lotta objects everywhere that could interfere siliding than before
To this day that is still the greatest jump scare to me, even some true horror games never got me like man-bat did the first time😅, I’m still watching origins, just had to pop in on this one real quick👍🏾
To execute the slide move in Batman Arkham Knight, follow these steps: Approach a narrow gap or tight space where Batman can’t normally walk or run through. Hold down the crouch button (L2 on PlayStation, LT on Xbox, or left Ctrl on PC) to make Batman crouch. While holding the crouch button, press and hold the sprint button (R2 on PlayStation, RT on Xbox, or Shift on PC)1.Alternatively, you can keep pressing the space bar then double tap Ctrl left quickly2.
1:23:20 since you don't know that much about comics, it's good to explain that Lex Luthor is Superman's main villain (basically his joker) and this message (if I'm not mistaken) is the first time they talk about something outside the Batman universe in the Arkham series
There has actually been several Robins. 4 main ones and a few other temporary/alternative universe ones. The first one was Dick Grayson who later became Nightwing. The Robin in this game is Tim Drake, who's the third Robin.
That chrome controller with the back pedals is bad a$$. I have to admit to my gamer shame, I didn’t know it even existed. Just ordered one. Thanks Whimsy!!!
You can slide. It’s still a thing. The tanks can be taken out in one with a “headshot”, or the thing on top of the tank with the light. Cool controller.
Hello, you can slide, all you need to do is rua and just tap the crouch button. You can also dosilent take downs from corners. Don't forget to also use the enveronment take downs often and you can also pick-up and use the baseball bats.
1:24:12 Kate is actually Bruce's cousin and is also Batwoman, they originally created Batwoman and Batgirl to be Batman and Robin's love interests since the audience found it weird that Batman and Robin stayed together for so long (they even sleep together) while Batgirl would stay as a recurring love interest for Robin, DC retconned Batwoman making her a lesbian and making her Batman's cousin, making a romantic relationship impossible.
Yeah, the original Batwoman's behind the scenes creation story is quite....interesting. It started with a moral panic around comicbooks in 1950's, especially crime and horror titles. At the center was german-american psychiatrist called Fredric Wertham with his book called "Seduction of the innocent". Long story short, Wertham was very concerned about youth picking up ideas from the comics, especially "hidden sexual themes". His most infamous conjecture is that Batman and Robin are gay partners, allthough that wasn't entirely his own invention. He based on this by conducting interviews on gay men, making his research being affected what we call now confirmation bias: he basically used certain group in his research to validate what he wanted to find-whether this was on purpose or not, we don't know. Anyways, 50's were different time and what would've been just source of couple funny headlines today, was major news back then. Fredric Wertham was a respected psychiatrist(he had been court's appointed expert on trial of the Brooklyn Thrill Killers, for example), so his concerns were taken seriously. There was pretty extensive senate sub-committee hearing about it, which was televised inviting other media to get involved spreading panic. So, under both govermental and public pressure, comic book publishers created Comic's code authority, as a form of voluntary self-censorship. And couple years after DC tried to get the heat off Fredric Wertham's claims by creating Batwoman, sort of female rival and love interest.
1) It was not the audience who found it wierd, it was a single crazy dude 2) Stop spreading misinformation about "sleeping together". I know what picture you reffered at, but you can easily see two different bed on it if look closer. It's just shitty perspective.
While that Batgirl was a love interest for Robin, she wasn't Barbara Gordon and Kate wasn't retconned to be gay. She was created during the event 52 partly as an excuse to use the design of her costume which was originally meant to be for an older Barbara. The original Batwoman was Kathy Kane (No relation to Kate or Bruce). And their relationship actually was still canon as of the new 52 they just retconned that she was an agent of the organization Spiral the whole time she was operating in Gotham rather than her original origin being just wanting to do heroics like Batman for the fun of it
I honestly never tried to interact the locked door & the ledge as catwoman in the orphanage. So usually I talked to her as batman in every visit to the place ,but I wonder if I can talk to HIM back as Selina and have a different sets of conversations?
Hey just a lil backseat gaming if u dont mind, I recommend using the special attacks when batmobile's weapon generator has more charges (the green bars around the aim) this way you can attack more targets at once and its more worth it than just 1, also the cool thing of upgrading the weapon generator is that you can target even more objectives with each new bar.
Whenever you're allowed to go inside Panessa Studios/The Batcave there's a Mr Freeze weapon you can grab just walk to the left side of the one empty cell.
i'm not sure what you've been told for the "Season Of Infamy" DLC side missions or if you have already downloaded after this episode was recorded, but I recommend you do get them as they're best experienced alongside the other side missions and the story. they don't include any story spoilers as they become unlocked at certain points, so you won't have to worry about that. if you do have them installed already then you can find them by going to the side mission screen and pressing the right bumper. there is also the Arkham Episode" DLCs, but those do contain story spoilers so i wouldn't even look at those until finishing everything :) btw you can still slide, it's just that this game is very particular with how long you tap the right trigger for, for some reason. you kinda have to tap it once quickly
“It could’ve been worse.” Famous last words LOL I told you about them jumpscares🤭😂 oh don’t worry- this game is SO GOOD at the Jump-scares I can warn you and you’ll still get traumatized 😅
I like that Batman’s mind make the joker come back to life I wonder at what time in the game scarecrows toxins took overs and how rapidly it filled the sky’s in Gotham ? I like the creators put so much in the story of the villains into the game they seem to have done a really good job the man bat is kind of the strangest mission just Bruce hitting him because the bat idea is his thing .but I think manbats origins is been changed a lot because it’s so messed up any ways great videos .
There is a lot if side missions in this game, so much so the game will prompt you to stop doing main story at various points by reminding you about the most wanted.
Yo Whimsy, if anyone hasn't told you, but you can toggle tank mode into a button press in the settings. That way, you don't have the hold. I didn't like holding it down either. A silly design choice, if you ask me.
It's not silly if there are people who prefer it to be held, such as myself. But since they knew that not everyone would like it, they added a toggle, which I believe a minority of players choose to use
@WhimsyPsyche I'm sure you will get the hang of it. I know for me it made long fights in battle mode easier. But I'd forget some of the buttons in the regular car mode.
The whole Man-Bat mission is based on the very first episode from Batman: The Animated Series. And the "Perfect Crime" would never happen unless the game didn't get a M or PEGI 18+ rating. It is seriously one of the most messed-up stuff I've seen in a non-horror game, EVER.
For those who don't know if you interrogate the riddler thug at the orphanage batman will say " riddler has Catwoman tell me why? I don't know anything I swear I just tied her up and I left her inside, why what's nigma's play? I ain't got a clue I just brought her here and planted some of those trophies nearby that's it you gotta believe me, I do
Tim Drake aka Robin is openly Bisexual. DC has released 4 Pride specials focusing on LGBTQ+ characters like Poison Ivy & Harley Quinn (who are a couple in some comics), Tim Drake (bisexual), Kate Kane/Batwoman (lesbian) etc. Love your lets plays.
NO WAY?! I love him even more now oh my 🤣 Thank you sooo much for the super thanks, you didn't have to, that's so kind of you!! 🥰 Also Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy as a couple is sooo perfect!
Hi Whimsey! Started watching your Hogwarts Legacy playthrough, it's such a blast and I'm loving the lore bits you put in. Then I get notified of this episode, The jumpscare we've all been waiting for! Enjoying the playthrough so much! Thank you!
You should probably continue doing the side missions as they arrive. You’ll be able to do them at the end, but it would be anticlimactic. P.S.: This is about the time in the game where I got tired of the tank battles. They drag the game down, IMO.
That's what I've started doing recently yeah, half the first episode is side missions and then second half is main story, something like that! There's SO MUCH STUFF to do!
What sort of a jumpscare reaction was that?? She didn't even make a sound! 😅 I swear, she's got the mildest reactions to those I've ever seen from a Lets Play performer - I think she needs to have a talk with Miranda on how to do them _properly_ 😏
Haha I've talked about this a couple of times, but 'fun' fact: my brother used to jump scare me a lot for a while when we were kids, so I have a little bit of a trauma associated with it if you will. Sometimes if I'm truly surprised, I internalize it and get the 'freeze' response. So this and the Tiny jumpscare in Arkham City are two examples of that! I don't mind jump scares much anymore (I love horror movies as well!), but I do have a freeze reaction to it still sometimes, which I developed back when my brother started doing this. Hopefully this helps understand why sometimes I'm 'weird' about jump scares! Oh and Miranda is the best I love her ❤️
@@WhimsyPsyche I was counting on you getting that reference, as you seem to be very much aware of each other in your "circle". And of course there was no malicious intent with my little observation there, which fortunately you seem to have got as well, but I thought I'd better state it just to be clear. After all, I am still here on your channel because I _like_ it here!
28:50 Thats what Origins IMO did better. In Origins the game doesn't allow you to take out the informant and saves you much time wasted in searching for others. 39:50 yup thats the reason we didn't want you to explore the city off camera. Lol. 1:23:58 Kate Kane AKA Batwoman is one of the members of the Batfamily like Robin and Batgirl.
@@WhimsyPsyche A, perhaps not so, interesting factoid on Man Bat is they were the first villain introduced in the iconic animated series (where Conroy and Hamill started their roles). At the same time, if you're in the mood on doing more trailer reactions it'd be fun to see one for Arkham Knights' "Father to Son" trailer. Given it was close to its announcement time the only "spoilers" involved are "This is how Penguin, Two-Face, and Harley Quinn will look. Also, Batman has a car."

good old man bat
That manbat jumpscare is one of the moments everybody looks forward to when somebody starts an arkham knight playthrough and it never dissapoints 🤣

Legit if I wanted to do that again I'm not sure I could 🤣🤣

How dare?! Classic.
At least it wasn't a shark. Imagine getting ambushed by a shark on a roof
I thought it was funny how the batmobile moved away from the first bomb 13:56 haha , another great video can't wait for the next one 😁👍🏼
"That's it Bats, play dead. We've got 'em right where we--oh dear." Yep, Batman just faint in midair.
😂🤣👏👏👏👏
Credit where it's due, that was the calmest reaction to the Man-bat jumpscare I've ever seen. Everyone else I've seen screams their heads off.

Yeah about that joker jump scare, that batman jump scare, and @39:54. It is a Halloween game after all.
The ManBat scare gets EVERYONE! It might be the best video game jump scare ever! XD
39:40 been waiting for that since arkham asylum
Good ol manbat jumpscare never gets old 😂
As far as I know, Man-bat spawns at any building on that island Batman grapples to after a certain point in the story.

Also that new controller of yours is cool. Love the white ,blue & gray colors in it.
Oh the man bat jump scare. What a classic😂
01:30:46 Like with Captain America and the Winter Soldier, this one was no puzzle to long time comic fans. :)
I don't think any jumpscare has gotten me as badly as that ManBat one lol, completely unexpected
1:19:23
Since she isn't aware of the comicbook history, I'm glad she's finally picking up on things.
1:31:00
I love every video of the batman games saga on your channel, but i'm anxious to know what will be the next great saga hahaha.
Actually we still can slide ,it's the same " hold run + press crouch " combo. It's just can't do it anywhere ,since there's lotta objects everywhere that could interfere siliding than before
To this day that is still the greatest jump scare to me, even some true horror games never got me like man-bat did the first time😅, I’m still watching origins, just had to pop in on this one real quick👍🏾

There has actually been several Robins. 4 main ones and a few other temporary/alternative universe ones. The first one was Dick Grayson who later became Nightwing. The Robin in this game is Tim Drake, who's the third Robin.
Just you the cannon when shooting tanks then controlling the Batmobile will be a piece of cake
That chrome controller with the back pedals is bad a$$. I have to admit to my gamer shame, I didn’t know it even existed. Just ordered one. Thanks Whimsy!!!
Finally the jumpscare we all been waiting for. 🤣🤣
You can still slide, in order to do it you have to tap R2 (the crouch button) while running. Hold it for crouch, tap it while running to slide.
You can slide. It’s still a thing. The tanks can be taken out in one with a “headshot”, or the thing on top of the tank with the light. Cool controller.
Hello, you can slide, all you need to do is rua and just tap the crouch button. You can also dosilent take downs from corners. Don't forget to also use the enveronment take downs often and you can also pick-up and use the baseball bats.

He based on this by conducting interviews on gay men, making his research being affected what we call now confirmation bias: he basically used certain group in his research to validate what he wanted to find-whether this was on purpose or not, we don't know.
Anyways, 50's were different time and what would've been just source of couple funny headlines today, was major news back then. Fredric Wertham was a respected psychiatrist(he had been court's appointed expert on trial of the Brooklyn Thrill Killers, for example), so his concerns were taken seriously. There was pretty extensive senate sub-committee hearing about it, which was televised inviting other media to get involved spreading panic.
So, under both govermental and public pressure, comic book publishers created Comic's code authority, as a form of voluntary self-censorship. And couple years after DC tried to get the heat off Fredric Wertham's claims by creating Batwoman, sort of female rival and love interest.
1) It was not the audience who found it wierd, it was a single crazy dude 2) Stop spreading misinformation about "sleeping together". I know what picture you reffered at, but you can easily see two different bed on it if look closer. It's just shitty perspective.
While that Batgirl was a love interest for Robin, she wasn't Barbara Gordon and Kate wasn't retconned to be gay. She was created during the event 52 partly as an excuse to use the design of her costume which was originally meant to be for an older Barbara. The original Batwoman was Kathy Kane (No relation to Kate or Bruce). And their relationship actually was still canon as of the new 52 they just retconned that she was an agent of the organization Spiral the whole time she was operating in Gotham rather than her original origin being just wanting to do heroics like Batman for the fun of it
I honestly never tried to interact the locked door & the ledge as catwoman in the orphanage. So usually I talked to her as batman in every visit to the place ,but I wonder if I can talk to HIM back as Selina and have a different sets of conversations?
Man-Bat claims another victim with that jumpscare!
Hey just a lil backseat gaming if u dont mind, I recommend using the special attacks when batmobile's weapon generator has more charges (the green bars around the aim) this way you can attack more targets at once and its more worth it than just 1, also the cool thing of upgrading the weapon generator is that you can target even more objectives with each new bar.
Hope your holidays are going well Whimsy 🎄
They are thank you so much, hope yours are as well!!
Been waiting for this moment since you started Asylum LOL
Whenever you're allowed to go inside Panessa Studios/The Batcave there's a Mr Freeze weapon you can grab just walk to the left side of the one empty cell.
The dark knight returns in another epic episode of Arkham Knight!
i'm not sure what you've been told for the "Season Of Infamy" DLC side missions or if you have already downloaded after this episode was recorded, but I recommend you do get them as they're best experienced alongside the other side missions and the story. they don't include any story spoilers as they become unlocked at certain points, so you won't have to worry about that. if you do have them installed already then you can find them by going to the side mission screen and pressing the right bumper.
there is also the Arkham Episode" DLCs, but those do contain story spoilers so i wouldn't even look at those until finishing everything :)
btw you can still slide, it's just that this game is very particular with how long you tap the right trigger for, for some reason. you kinda have to tap it once quickly
To slide, you have to tap R2 instead of holding it
56:42 I 've seen someone completely miss this mission before.🤭
Hahahahaha. Just what we all been waiting for
“It could’ve been worse.” Famous last words LOL
I told you about them jumpscares🤭😂 oh don’t worry- this game is SO GOOD at the Jump-scares I can warn you and you’ll still get traumatized 😅
Ah Man Bat the only creature to ever put the fear of God in me. Good times.
Poor giant bat, you scare him and had to fly away 😢
After all these years ,It's pretty clear This is not just a superhero Game. This is more like a Psychological Horror Game.
I like that Batman’s mind make the joker come back to life I wonder at what time in the game scarecrows toxins took overs and how rapidly it filled the sky’s in Gotham ? I like the creators put so much in the story of the villains into the game they seem to have done a really good job the man bat is kind of the strangest mission just Bruce hitting him because the bat idea is his thing .but I think manbats origins is been changed a lot because it’s so messed up any ways great videos .
There is a lot if side missions in this game, so much so the game will prompt you to stop doing main story at various points by reminding you about the most wanted.
@23:36 Hold X to sprint then press R2
Man-bat is always a fun time! Haha
I know I've asked this a few times now, but since I haven't seen an answer. Shadow of Mordor, in the future? 😁😁
Yo Whimsy, if anyone hasn't told you, but you can toggle tank mode into a button press in the settings. That way, you don't have the hold. I didn't like holding it down either. A silly design choice, if you ask me.
It's not silly if there are people who prefer it to be held, such as myself. But since they knew that not everyone would like it, they added a toggle, which I believe a minority of players choose to use
Hi. I really recommend you to look on Batman's different suits in main menu. They are soo good looking and have GREAT details.
Just so you know if holding the button for battle mode gets bothersome, you can change it to a toggle setting in the games settings menu.
See my pinned comment 😊 Thank you!
@WhimsyPsyche yw. Just know it will change a few of the other buttons as well.
It definitely did, I'm still trying to get used to them 🤣 It's been hard hahaha
@WhimsyPsyche I'm sure you will get the hang of it.
I know for me it made long fights in battle mode easier. But I'd forget some of the buttons in the regular car mode.
I waited the whole week for this ma'am
Right, Whimsey`s first encounter with the Manbat. Guess she found him or did it find her?
The whole Man-Bat mission is based on the very first episode from Batman: The Animated Series.
And the "Perfect Crime" would never happen unless the game didn't get a M or PEGI 18+ rating. It is seriously one of the most messed-up stuff I've seen in a non-horror game, EVER.
j'ai vu la miniature , je suis deja ravi de l'episode qui va suivre XD
Hahaha j'espère que tu as aimé!
@@WhimsyPsyche je l'ai repassé en boucle 🤭🤭
For those who don't know if you interrogate the riddler thug at the orphanage batman will say " riddler has Catwoman tell me why? I don't know anything I swear I just tied her up and I left her inside, why what's nigma's play? I ain't got a clue I just brought her here and planted some of those trophies nearby that's it you gotta believe me, I do
Tim Drake aka Robin is openly Bisexual. DC has released 4 Pride specials focusing on LGBTQ+ characters like Poison Ivy & Harley Quinn (who are a couple in some comics), Tim Drake (bisexual), Kate Kane/Batwoman (lesbian) etc. Love your lets plays.
NO WAY?! I love him even more now oh my 🤣 Thank you sooo much for the super thanks, you didn't have to, that's so kind of you!! 🥰 Also Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy as a couple is sooo perfect!
39:48 Yes! 😁
It sucks we only got to play the evidence scanner mechanic from origins only in this mission in this game.😔
Vous pouvez utiliser le canon vulcain de la Batmobile pour détruire plus rapidement les tanks.
Hi Whimsey! Started watching your Hogwarts Legacy playthrough, it's such a blast and I'm loving the lore bits you put in. Then I get notified of this episode, The jumpscare we've all been waiting for! Enjoying the playthrough so much! Thank you!
You should probably continue doing the side missions as they arrive. You’ll be able to do them at the end, but it would be anticlimactic.
P.S.: This is about the time in the game where I got tired of the tank battles. They drag the game down, IMO.
That's what I've started doing recently yeah, half the first episode is side missions and then second half is main story, something like that! There's SO MUCH STUFF to do!
The Jonkler actually has telepathic powers, these powers remain even when he fkin dies and that is why he can enter the mind of Man from heaven.
What sort of a jumpscare reaction was that?? She didn't even make a sound! 😅
I swear, she's got the mildest reactions to those I've ever seen from a Lets Play performer - I think she needs to have a talk with Miranda on how to do them _properly_ 😏
Haha I've talked about this a couple of times, but 'fun' fact: my brother used to jump scare me a lot for a while when we were kids, so I have a little bit of a trauma associated with it if you will. Sometimes if I'm truly surprised, I internalize it and get the 'freeze' response. So this and the Tiny jumpscare in Arkham City are two examples of that! I don't mind jump scares much anymore (I love horror movies as well!), but I do have a freeze reaction to it still sometimes, which I developed back when my brother started doing this. Hopefully this helps understand why sometimes I'm 'weird' about jump scares!
Oh and Miranda is the best I love her ❤️
@@WhimsyPsyche I was counting on you getting that reference, as you seem to be very much aware of each other in your "circle".
And of course there was no malicious intent with my little observation there, which fortunately you seem to have got as well, but I thought I'd better state it just to be clear. After all, I am still here on your channel because I _like_ it here!
28:50 Thats what Origins IMO did better. In Origins the game doesn't allow you to take out the informant and saves you much time wasted in searching for others.
39:50 yup thats the reason we didn't want you to explore the city off camera. Lol.
1:23:58 Kate Kane AKA Batwoman is one of the members of the Batfamily like Robin and Batgirl.
50:20 cuz it blew up, probably
Man Bat? Get that copyright infringement and take them to court! Batman's literally been spraying his logo all over Gotham.
Right, who does he think he is?!
@@WhimsyPsyche A, perhaps not so, interesting factoid on Man Bat is they were the first villain introduced in the iconic animated series (where Conroy and Hamill started their roles).
At the same time, if you're in the mood on doing more trailer reactions it'd be fun to see one for Arkham Knights' "Father to Son" trailer. Given it was close to its announcement time the only "spoilers" involved are "This is how Penguin, Two-Face, and Harley Quinn will look. Also, Batman has a car."
Kate Kane is Bruce’s cousin in the comics and yes she’s LGBT but she’s also Batwoman but probably not in this universe at least.
Is trying to organise a dual between you and nana, if it helps she says she will win. 🐀
Aaah thank you so much Ratking! Haha I'd let Nana win anytime
Make sure you have the dlc
