Jason having ptsd, tim being wholesom, Dick being a older brother, Barbara being supportive. No one talks about this game anymore and that is a shame. The gameplay might not be great but they nailed the story and characters.
Maybe I'm not familiar with Tim then for i also noticed he seemed a bit like... Well to put it shortly, like Peter Parker as far as the sorta awkward, quirky nerd. Then I'd add the comparison to the MCU version as far as wanting validation in the group he's in... Is that all similar to the comics?.. Cause it seems like they doubled down on some traits to the fit the trope of the smart guy seeing as how they made sure to make the characters personalities fit the bill of four person groups. So that's how Tim is then? Not being sarcastic or anything legit curious
@@masudbillah6196 The Lazarus Pit can also drive one's mind to mental instability each time you use them. It's even more risky if you use them for resurrection. And, for someone who died in a gruesome way like Jason, the impact was unbelievably devastating. Alfred even said that he was having a hard time dealing with it even fighting against Batman and the Bat Family, but, he has come really far after a long period of time.
The idea of Jason having PTSD is something that I think adds a lot to his character, whether it be PTSD from Joker himself, or even from the Lazarus Pit in this case
It's always been massively hinted in the comics that he suffers with PTSD from Joker and the pit, and considering he still has side affects from the pit he hates it even more (if I remember)
@@Oakleyyzpretty sure he also has ptsd from being abandoned in the streets, no? his first trauma was when he was living with his dying mother, his parents were fairly shitty too, dc needs to incorporate his childhood trauma too, its one of the biggest reasons why he has trust isseus. Also Bruce has been depicted as being a pretty terrible father (should be ovious by now considering he turns children into child soldiers.. he shouldve expected that atleast one of them would come out the grave messed up.).
Also he always had ptsd, not just trauma or depression.. he mostly hides his deppression with both his anger and and his "tough guy attitude" bout how pissed he is at Bruce.
@@dondorko-tk3vxyup, in the movie Under the Red Hood, Batman has mentioned how risky it would be to adopt Jason with his background. His childhood was traumatic. He was either going to turn out great with his potential or go down a dark path.
Ok, but can we appreciate how Barbara handled Jason's breakdown? After pausing the game so she could properly focus on him, she tried listening to him while validating his feelings. Of course, it wouldn't work that easily for him since he doesn't seem to like expressing his emotions, so instead of forcing him out of his shell, she dropped the subject and ordered him food (after asking him if he wants some, sure). Now this is affective responsibility and I love it.
If this is the correct timeline I think it is, she also has feelings for him beyond as a brotherly figure. She wants to date him but he rejects her out of fear of his still deep rooted issues due to the Lazarus pit and what he says to Alfred "Some days I feel barely human". Cause this is after years of being the League of Shadows attack dog.
I love this version of Jason, he really is just like comic book version, filled with a lot of anger because of being killed, and even now sometimes suffering from the side effects of the Lazarus pit, but he has a lot more self control than even Batman to not go on a killing spree.
Imo his moral of killing the bad guys was always what made him more interesting than the rest of the bat family and them taking that away doesn't feel right
@@PrimarisUltramarine what does that even mean. He has more self control over batman how? He’s not a killing machine who goes on killing sprees because he’s angry. Though with the way DC has been writing Jason, kihht as well just say he threw a temper tantrum because his dad didn’t avenge him and that he doesn’t have his own ideology and moral code, he’s just lashing out because daddy doesn’t pay attention to him.
He's really not comic like tho. Jason is not killing because of anger issues. He has different morals than the rest of the Batfam and that's the reason i find him a more interesting character. But unfortunately we can't have that.
The Jason scenes really makes you feel bad for the guy. The emotions capture between Jason and Alfred is so captivating. I think in some ways Alfred views all the original sidekicks (these four) as his own children. Kind of wish I had three brothers and a sister like these four!
The fact the he leveled with Tim on what being brought back from the pit would cost. Jason has so much depth and you see it when he tries to guide Tim and tell him to grieve.
7:36- 7:45 i love it that Dick invited Jason to cook with them. He must've felt bad before when he was telling a funny memory when they were cooking while he was still gone. So, he included him to join them so that he can be doing something together with them as a good memory as family.
He wasn't gone. Dick said they were ALL there. And he was telling the story as if Jason should also remember. On top of that Jason plainly said the Lazarus's revival of him left a lot of his memories out. So he didn't have total recall of some things.
@@amyschildgamerlive4519 A chunk of his life. Did he really mean it as some of his past memories or that he missed out on many things out of his life after being revived? If it really was after he was revived and come back to the team, he would've remember it, right?
@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 The Lazarus pit did not bring back all of his memories when it revived him. That's essentially what was being said. Jason should have remembered that time that they were all cooking together because it likely happened before he died.
@@amyschildgamerlive4519 I think it happened after he died cause Tim was there. So Jason was either dead or he just began his killing spree as Red Hood.
It’s like all of Batman’s defining traits split apart into individual forms. His kind and caring personality. His rageful nature against criminals His brilliant intellect. They are well and truly a family.
The funny thing is in the comics even though Bruce is generally the best, the others have certain things they're better at than him like Jason being more aggressive, Dick being the most acrobatic, and Tim will one day be a greater detective than him (which even Ra's Al Ghoul confirmed and respects Tim).
The scene with Jason and Tim, he was great at the “big brother” role, not getting angry that Tim suggested the Pit, explaining in a way that Tim would understand perfectly. He was soft, and brotherly. The makers did a great job with this game. Sure it’s got some flaws, but they did great. Also i was wondering. Anyone elses Jason’s hoodie strings stick straight out? Cuz they are in mine and in this video like for the whole scene of 28:30.
The real issue is that this is the first Batman ANYTHING since the Wayne Family webcomic and they kill of Bruce, the guy who never gets to be the awesome dad he's grown into, because everyone wants the loner batman or tragedy.
I hope we can see more of the Bat family and Alfred bond in future games, this is what I appreciate about this game. I love seeing the game address the pain and the feeling of being an outcast that Jason has ever since he was revived. The webtoon and comics mention this, so good to see Gotham Knights bring more light to this.
That is cool and all but i wish there was some alternate civilian looks for each character because Barbara looks awful in her current civilian skin. Her hair looks so much better as default batgirl imo.
Not a lot of the webcomics do or acknowledge Batfamilies problems, but I think this game perfectly goes over it very well and brings it to light as well as tries to solve them since Batman isn’t around anymore.
11:33 I analyzed this chess scene for my little brother. If you want to set up the board, White has pieces on: b2, c3, e4, f2, Bc2, Qe2, Ne5, Rg1, Rg2, Kh1, and Black has pieces on a6, b5, c4, d6, f6, h7, Ra8, Nc5, Qc7, Bd7, Nf4, Rf8, Kh8. White (Alfred) is down by a Knight and 2 pawns, presumably by sacrificing material to open the position for attack. White (Alfred) indeed has mate in 2, and plays Rg2-g8+. Black (Robin) must play Rf8×Rg8. Then White (Alfred) will play Ne5-f7#. I respect the game's animators for creating an accurate position.
Y'know as much as this game is meant to be about all 4 of them, this feels like Jason's game more than any of theirs. Literally all of the story beats match with his character.
7:03 seeing him hug Alfred just made me cry because my grandpa passed away two days ago and I wish I got to hug him one last time before his soul went to eternal peace.
This cast radiates so much TMNT vibes it hurts this isn’t a TMNT game. Dick = Leo Jason = Raph Babs = Donnie Tim = Mikey Alfred and Bruce = Splinter. Alfred as the caring side of Splinter and Bruce as the mentor side of Splinter.
I had an iffy opinion about this game, but seeing these cutscenes, I really just love the journey of the characters and the bonds between them all as they navigate an incredibly dark time in their lives, and they're called to be more. This level of heart is what superhero films need most right now.
1:47 this is the most wholesome thing I ever seen Jason do. He’s genuinely having a good time, as he should be. Especially after all the misery he went through.
This is Batman we're talking about. Not only would there be a samurai at his grave, but probably an alien and a robed wizard waiting in line behind him. 👽
What I love about it that Jason gave more time to others when it comes to emotional support, while Dick was goofing around. He tried to be there for all of them.
The Batfamily moments are WAY too good for a game that dropped this unpolished. I really wish the story of the game had been released a movie or TV show or just released a game to more critical acclaim. This type of batfamily dynamic and content is on the level of the best comic stories and Wayne family adventures. I especially love how Jason is treated here and feels like an actual member of the family with real baggage from having freaking died.
It’s kinda sad how they all learned how to reconnect and get along because of their one common lose which is Bruce. It shows they learned to mature without his guidance. Also Alfred’s relationship with all of them is adorable.
He’s the first and most experienced son and Robin, it’s up to him to lead these mudafudas to victory against a bad guy his Mentor struggled against and also maybe even Teen Titans leader syndrome where the leadership role just naturally drops to him with everyone knowing how capable he is and y’know…
I think it's more that he inherited Bruce's causes as the public figure he was. If you stick around Belfry for a while, you can catch him talking to someone on the phone about business.
6:55 Truely Worthy to see Jason Todd letting that Sadness out with a Hug by Alfred, you never get to see these types of Moments when the Tie-in Comic Book convert themselves in Video Games, Movies, TV Shows, will never let you see without messing it up or delaying it.
I actually do want to Olay this game now. Just seeing the family dynamic between them is so beautifully written. You can feel how close they are. I feel the most bad for Jason and he wasn't even my favorite until now. Seems like Bruce's death if you can call it that really affected them and seeing Alfred too is icing on the cake... damn it they got me. Whatever I'm gonna go pick it up right now
Game is great, one of the best boss fights in batman games, don’t listen to those crappy reviews who doesn’t even play the game and just go ooh 30 fps blablabla
@@NormalSpeedGamer I'm genuinely curious as to what boss you're referring to, I've fought them all and found them to be incredibly poorly designed and tedious to fight despite the rest of the game being tons of fun
I love how video games these days are taking more and more time and effort to try and explore how grieving processes work. It's not like you're sad and then you just get into vengeance and you're good to go. It's a constant struggle of reminders and setbacks.
The game leaves much to be desired, but still has fun to it But one thing the game nailed perfectly in my opinion is the characterization of the characters as they feel exactly like their cannon comic selves and the scenes with them interreacting with each other is really well done I would to be a DLC or update where Casandra Cain, Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne were added in
I feel so bad for Jason and Tim, mainly Tim, I know all the stuff Jason had went through and I love seeing everyone trying to support him, but I ended up being a robin main around the time all those people got killed and I’m just sitting there like “NOO! TIM IM SO SORRY! YOU DIDNT NEED TO SEE THIS!”
I know most of these scenes are sad and emotional but I can’t help but bust out laughing when I see the bug where the strings on jason’s hoodie stick out
This game hasn't got the respect it deserves its such an underrated game they did the story very good they could of changed abit like made the bike abit faster but one thing they did very well was portray Jason they used his character very well they got his anger and his emotions all in there and got everything right one thing they could of dome tho is made his hair abit longer
Tim and Jason with the brotherly bonding is just **chef's kiss**. Also him keeping Jason from going too far while lost in his grief and trauma the same way he did for Bruce when Jason died? (ﾉ๑`▽´๑)ﾉ*✲ﾟ*｡⋆💗
Barbara: I know everything about you, Dick Grayson. You loved Flakies cereal, you cried when I broke up with you, and you check out your own ass in the mirror every chance you get. Dick Grayson, checking his own ass in the mirror later: Oh yeah, this is America’s ass right here.
This game was really my first induction in the DCU. I of course knew of the characters and had seen a few movies, but this game was what made me go deeper. Now I am slowly descending into madness as I try to hunt down every scrap of DC content I can find.
All I can focus on when Jason and Barbara are talking about Jim, is the fact that Jason's hoodie strings are sticking straight out. Like, completely perpendicular to his body. 😂
I love tim, it seems like they did him justice here by these scenes honestly. And I love seeing his nerdy side and how excited he gets about his cases and investigating stuff.
@@babayaga6896 Oooof, I saw them and laughed too but I somehow didn't even notice they glitched in the same scene... I was busy laughing at her in distress and clearly sad but Jason doesn't care... He's like "Finally, somebody else who's angry!" and goes on his rant lmaoo
From what ive seen so far, Jason feels like if they wrote David from Telltale's The Walking Dead: A New Frontier right. He obviously wants to be a good person and even more so wants to be close to his family (in this case, the bat family) but he suffers from past events which still haunt him. He still acts out some times and shows some signs of aggression towards his friends and family, even if he doesn't mean it. He also gets worried that because of this, he'll end up hurting them in the long run. In summary, I really like how they portrayed Jason as kind of like an ex-navy seal almost. It's really well done!
Honestly, I wasn't quite sold on this version of Tim but it is growing on me. I find him... A bit too goofy for my liking. Like, the guy has always admired Dick, but I never got the impression he was trying to act like Dick like I get from this version. I love the moment where he asks Jason to shoot him to test the bullets. That is 300% a Tim Move.
If they bring Damian for the sequel I would love to see him interact with the others the cutscenes would be sad and funny to see him interact with Jason
27:35 The scene is sad, yet amazing. But for some reason, I can't focus on anything other than the strings on Jason's jacket (I can't remember the name of those "strings") 😂
This, this is what I wanted a family dynamic you don’t see anywhere now on tv or in many video games I loved Gotham Knights very much and I didn’t mind people on social media saying I was nuts and my tastes were garbage While we won’t get a sequel I’ll treasure this gem for a long time 💜
@@joshuad3507 Gotham vigilante kids* Batkids would be the Robins that grew up with BATMAN if we’re being honest… they’re Gotham hero kids. Spoiler alert: They didn’t grow up or was raised by Brucey…
Jason having ptsd, tim being wholesom, Dick being a older brother, Barbara being supportive.

I had an iffy opinion about this game, but seeing these cutscenes, I really just love the journey of the characters and the bonds between them all as they navigate an incredibly dark time in their lives, and they're called to be more. This level of heart is what superhero films need most right now.
Shame the gameplay isn't as good as the cutscenes.
They didn't do a lot right with the game. They did the storytelling right though.
1:47 this is the most wholesome thing I ever seen Jason do. He’s genuinely having a good time, as he should be. Especially after all the misery he went through.
22:39 I lol'd. Thought it was a random samurai coming to Bruce's grave 🤣
It was
This is Batman we're talking about. Not only would there be a samurai at his grave, but probably an alien and a robed wizard waiting in line behind him. 👽
Agreed!!!
I love how they gave Jason depth and multi-dimensional aspects to his character here. They also showed that Jason does have a more human side.
It’s so sweet that they all look at Alfred as their grandfather figure
What I love about it that Jason gave more time to others when it comes to emotional support, while Dick was goofing around. He tried to be there for all of them.
I can watch these wholesome moment of the batfamily all-day and never get bored ..
27:37 I couldn't take the scene seriously with Jason laced up like that or was he just happy to see Barbara
Gross
I was looking for this commend xD

The Batfamily moments are WAY too good for a game that dropped this unpolished. I really wish the story of the game had been released a movie or TV show or just released a game to more critical acclaim. This type of batfamily dynamic and content is on the level of the best comic stories and Wayne family adventures. I especially love how Jason is treated here and feels like an actual member of the family with real baggage from having freaking died.
Jason and Barb having an emotional serious talk
No one:
Jason's hoodie:
Bruce failed Jason, but he never gave up on him or on any of his family
It’s kinda sad how they all learned how to reconnect and get along because of their one common lose which is Bruce. It shows they learned to mature without his guidance. Also Alfred’s relationship with all of them is adorable.
10:10 it’s used as a joke but Jason did go to heaven after he was killed by joker. He “fell from heaven” when he came back angrier than ever.
Im sorry but the Babs cutscene with Jason made me laugh a lot cause of the hoodie string sticking out like the hardest thing on earth
Hey what’s the opposite of erectile dysfunction?)
@@danzansandeev6033 Jason's hoodie it seems
27:41 I know this is supposed to be something serious, but the strings from Jason's jacket is making it difficult for me 😂
Same 😂
I’m glad I’m not the only one. Supposed to be a serious scene and then Jason with the strings😂😂
The beauty of glitching during a cutscene my friend
But why that happened I mean with the strings
Bruh I busted out laughing especially when he got up to pick it up 😭
Dick: everything he built is in my hands
Barbara: *i missed the part where the game was called nightwing*
He's the oldest. More felt responsibly
He's the first and had the most potential to be his successor. No wonder the pressure on him is too much now that Bruce is gone.
Hes the first son
He’s the first and most experienced son and Robin, it’s up to him to lead these mudafudas to victory against a bad guy his Mentor struggled against and also maybe even Teen Titans leader syndrome where the leadership role just naturally drops to him with everyone knowing how capable he is and y’know…
I think it's more that he inherited Bruce's causes as the public figure he was. If you stick around Belfry for a while, you can catch him talking to someone on the phone about business.
I’ve been telling people for years now that the bat family should have their own tv show.
27:50 : Jason, you really need to wash that jacket
Or lay off the starch lol
The jacket strings can stab others just in case they're annoy him enough
@@mizumochidonuts8194 lol in the event of the wearer being threatened the emergency defense spickes will protude out of the jacket for self defense
He likes his personal space.
I'm glad they had Tim Drake, he's been forgotten in media lately.
Ya, but there’s one thing that has happened and changed him that I can’t except
Arkham games
@@jsalani4036 him being bi now?
@@danzansandeev6033 ya, I’m not gonna get too mad, but let the character be if you want a bi robin make a new one
At the cost of Damien
I feel like they did a fantastic job on the story for this game and showing how they all get along after Bruce is gone
6:55 Truely Worthy to see Jason Todd letting that Sadness out with a Hug by Alfred, you never get to see these types of Moments when the Tie-in Comic Book convert themselves in Video Games, Movies, TV Shows, will never let you see without messing it up or delaying it.
I like how Jason's hoodie strings were just sticking straight out the whole time he was confronting Barbara with her dad
I actually do want to Olay this game now. Just seeing the family dynamic between them is so beautifully written. You can feel how close they are. I feel the most bad for Jason and he wasn't even my favorite until now. Seems like Bruce's death if you can call it that really affected them and seeing Alfred too is icing on the cake... damn it they got me. Whatever I'm gonna go pick it up right now
I don't know what Olay is but you should play this game
Game is great, one of the best boss fights in batman games, don’t listen to those crappy reviews who doesn’t even play the game and just go ooh 30 fps blablabla
@@NormalSpeedGamer I'm genuinely curious as to what boss you're referring to, I've fought them all and found them to be incredibly poorly designed and tedious to fight despite the rest of the game being tons of fun
Ngl I'm really glad they stuck to their dynamic instead of making them be all dark, gloomy and emo. This would be such a great show!
I love how video games these days are taking more and more time and effort to try and explore how grieving processes work. It's not like you're sad and then you just get into vengeance and you're good to go. It's a constant struggle of reminders and setbacks.
The game leaves much to be desired, but still has fun to it
But one thing the game nailed perfectly in my opinion is the characterization of the characters as they feel exactly like their cannon comic selves and the scenes with them interreacting with each other is really well done
I would to be a DLC or update where Casandra Cain, Stephanie Brown and Damian Wayne were added in
anyone else hear a pop after when Dick said, "I'm fine" and rotated his shoulder? I felt that lol.
Now that i have hit 40 thats every morning for me. No health insurance in my 20's and manly ego caused alot of wear and tear lol.
I feel so bad for Jason and Tim, mainly Tim, I know all the stuff Jason had went through and I love seeing everyone trying to support him, but I ended up being a robin main around the time all those people got killed and I’m just sitting there like “NOO! TIM IM SO SORRY! YOU DIDNT NEED TO SEE THIS!”
SAME OMG
Nightwing is just too pure for this world
Tim and Jason geeking out over bullet design. Classic.
I love this dynamic in the Bat Family us DC Fans should see interactions like these more often in games and TV.
Though there's scenes here that have glitches and cuts I very glad you posted this. Thanks my dude
I know most of these scenes are sad and emotional but I can’t help but bust out laughing when I see the bug where the strings on jason’s hoodie stick out
It pained me to see Dick just casually toss a knife across the kitchen, I get they're all super detective ninjas and all but still.
This game hasn't got the respect it deserves its such an underrated game they did the story very good they could of changed abit like made the bike abit faster but one thing they did very well was portray Jason they used his character very well they got his anger and his emotions all in there and got everything right one thing they could of dome tho is made his hair abit longer
Convinced Jason’s the main character of this game
2:55 “you want takeout”
Me 5 years old nodding while still being mad
Tim and Jason with the brotherly bonding is just **chef's kiss**. Also him keeping Jason from going too far while lost in his grief and trauma the same way he did for Bruce when Jason died? (ﾉ๑`▽´๑)ﾉ*✲ﾟ*｡⋆💗
Barbara: I know everything about you, Dick Grayson. You loved Flakies cereal, you cried when I broke up with you, and you check out your own ass in the mirror every chance you get.
Dick Grayson, checking his own ass in the mirror later: Oh yeah, this is America’s ass right here.
Blüdhaven's Ass
Broke up with Grayson or cheated him with Bruce.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ionutalexandru9710nah that isn’t canon in this universe. Thank god.
To be fair, if I had that ass I would also do that
This game was really my first induction in the DCU. I of course knew of the characters and had seen a few movies, but this game was what made me go deeper. Now I am slowly descending into madness as I try to hunt down every scrap of DC content I can find.
Just love see the side character together, even the three robins being brothers :)
I'd pay money to see a bat family sitcom
27:35 alright who let mr freeze near Jason’s hoodie strings XD
I think this was released before the game have been out for 3 days I remember stalking information about it
All I can focus on when Jason and Barbara are talking about Jim, is the fact that Jason's hoodie strings are sticking straight out. Like, completely perpendicular to his body. 😂
I love tim, it seems like they did him justice here by these scenes honestly. And I love seeing his nerdy side and how excited he gets about his cases and investigating stuff.
Jason's character was definitely the best highlight of this game for me
I really like this version of Jason. Redeemed, edgy, kind hearted in own way. And a strong beefy gun shooting beast❤
27:54
Idk why but this entire scene made me laugh my oof off 😂
🤣🤣
Bruh look at Jason's hoddie 😆🤣
@@babayaga6896 Oooof, I saw them and laughed too but I somehow didn't even notice they glitched in the same scene... I was busy laughing at her in distress and clearly sad but Jason doesn't care... He's like "Finally, somebody else who's angry!" and goes on his rant lmaoo
@@Artryom ong that hoodie coming to life 😆
Jason gets alittle too happy when talking to babs
one thing i loved about this game was how they actually felt like a family
27:36 "Alfred! You put too much starch in my drawstrings!"
28:10 JASON'S MESSED UP JACKET STRINGS HAVE ME SOBBING 💀💀💀💀
Jason is standing on business so hard even his hoodie laces are standing
OMG!
So many great cut scenes!
And that dance game is awesome!
23:56. Low key emotional. Hits home for all of us
Me when I see Barbara walking: YOU GOT NEW LEGS, LIEUTENANT DAN!
The BatFamily reminds me of the TMNT
Nightwing: Leonardo
Red Hood: Raphael
Red Robin: Michelangelo
Batgirl: Donatello
Batman: Master Splinter
I LOVE WATCHING THE BAT FAMILY LIKE THIS!!!
I wonder if this is all advice Alfred wishes he'd given Bruce.
I think he did give Bruce this advice, but he didn’t take it on board
28:13 jason saying 'you're all trying to pretend that everythings normal' but his hoodie cords are erect is such a mood
Damn this game is fun. The story and the combat as Robin feels fun asf
I'm a Nightwing main
@@darknessflame9913 I main Red Hood. Y'all wanna team up?
Sure
Lmk
damn, the potential for a great game shines through these amazing stories, such a shame
Why tf do we NEVER get this kinda Alfred in live action Batman movies
Because plot require punching punchy
@@codewallette you’re probably thinking I’m talking about only live action nah I’m talking about any Batman movie
From what ive seen so far, Jason feels like if they wrote David from Telltale's The Walking Dead: A New Frontier right. He obviously wants to be a good person and even more so wants to be close to his family (in this case, the bat family) but he suffers from past events which still haunt him. He still acts out some times and shows some signs of aggression towards his friends and family, even if he doesn't mean it. He also gets worried that because of this, he'll end up hurting them in the long run.
In summary, I really like how they portrayed Jason as kind of like an ex-navy seal almost. It's really well done!
He definitely looks like an ex navy seal. Lol
I get why fans of comic Jason wouldn't like this version, but this is honestly my favorite take on him.
Honestly, I like this version of him too!😅
Honestly, I wasn't quite sold on this version of Tim but it is growing on me. I find him... A bit too goofy for my liking. Like, the guy has always admired Dick, but I never got the impression he was trying to act like Dick like I get from this version.
I love the moment where he asks Jason to shoot him to test the bullets. That is 300% a Tim Move.
If they bring Damian for the sequel I would love to see him interact with the others the cutscenes would be sad and funny to see him interact with Jason
Still haven't gotten a game with Batwing in it

love how Alfred is being a grandfather to them especially when they just lost bruce :'(
Jason's hoodie strings sticking out straight is the funniest thing that breaks the scene with Barbara
27:35 The scene is sad, yet amazing. But for some reason, I can't focus on anything other than the strings on Jason's jacket (I can't remember the name of those "strings") 😂
This, this is what I wanted a family dynamic you don’t see anywhere now on tv or in many video games
I loved Gotham Knights very much and I didn’t mind people on social media saying I was nuts and my tastes were garbage
While we won’t get a sequel I’ll treasure this gem for a long time
💜
Jason connecting with Alfred melted my heart
Why isn’t there a Batfamily tv show just like this?
The opportunity is being completely wasted on that Titans show
Not really, the Titans series is pretty great but a Batfamily TV series would be riskier tbh
Because it would be garbage.
Also, there is atleast 4+ bat kids they exclude with this continuity.(Orphan, Spoiler, Bluebird and Damian's Robin)
@@joshuad3507 Gotham vigilante kids* Batkids would be the Robins that grew up with BATMAN if we’re being honest… they’re Gotham hero kids. Spoiler alert: They didn’t grow up or was raised by Brucey…
