Another little tidbit about Asylum hard mode is that the Ivy plants that can shoot spores at you, actually shoot three spores at the same time right from the get-go, instead of shooting one, then two, then three as the story goes on, which changes something from the normal mode playthrough that the player might notice and ups the difficulty in a natural way.

But the transition of going to gliding to the batmobile is frustrating. Sometimes I sit there for like 30 seconds waiting on the batmobile to show up (it's even worse when enemies are attacking me and I don't want to fight them). Sometimes I have to hit the call button several times. Once in a while the batmobile will get hooked on something (like garbage, or another vehicle in it's path, knocked over street light, or the corner of a building), so I have to turn on detective mode and go track it down. Then when I find it, get to it, and get in it, it is no longer hooked to whatever.

I said it in both community posts you made for this video, and I'll say it again here. I personally think that Origins has the best fully animated cutscenes. No other game in the series really sells how scary and powerful Batman can be. I mean, how scary is a man who can ACCIDENTALLY choke a man until he passes out. Then, in the same cutscene, we see a shot of Baman staring down at this criminal from above in one of the COOLEST Batman shots in any form of media. Then, once he has what he needed, he casually drops the guy onto the tree below. No other Batman displays their strength as frequently nor as impressively as Origins does. Then there's the scene where he's putting together the evidence of Black Mask's "death." It's a wonderfully put together cutscene that leaves many questions unanswered while cleanly guiding Batman to his next objective. No other detective scene really puts emphasis on the spectacle of the whole thing. (I'd also argue that Origins also has the best story, but that's besides the point.)

I think Knight's 'side mission integration' is also what makes it so fun to 100% that game (as well as 240%). I love that you can lock up Riddler and Deathstroke before even finishing the main story (in new game plus, at least) just by doing everything as it pops up. On my most recent playthrough I tried to get all the militia bases/towers as they popped up, and it makes them feel like a much bigger threat, having Batman repeatedly clear them out of Gotham only for them to take it over again the second you turn your back.

You're right that Origins has the most comprehensive tutorial, but it really kills the pacing on replays. It's so slow in parts, especially at the radio tower where the Enigma cutscenes are unskippable. That tutorial section was the most frustrating part for me when doing I Am The Night mode, because every time I died I knew I'd have to sit through that whole tutorial again. At least having to repeat other parts of the game was always fun gameplay, but wow that tutorial feels so slow when it's not your first playthrough. It's so strange that the tutorial is still as slow as it is even in New Game+ and I Am The Night, since those modes only unlock after beating the game normally so everyone playing those modes will already know how to play. Seems like a massive oversight.

Knight has the best map. The side missions make it feel more intense and exciting to traverse in. Aside from its obvious bigger size and better graphics, the small Easter eggs and details are incredible. An obvious example is some posters or statues randomly being joker-fied, before going back to normal when you do a double take. Knight is also (in my opinion) the most fun to navigate due to its more upgraded grapple boosts, Batmobile ejection, and driving (say what you want about its overused combat but you can’t deny it was fun absolutely wrecking other cars by crashing into them)

I’ve only done this in origins so I don’t know if it works for the other games as well, but you can get basically the same hard mode out of origins as you get in asylum. If before starting the story on a new save file you just turn off the hints, it’ll actually deactivate any counter indicators as well. Combine that with playing on hard and you got one hell of a challenge on your hands not too dissimilar to asylums hard mode.

Because of this, I learned about combo takedowns and countering during a beatdown WAY TOO LATE into my 3rd (ish) playthrough. I remember beating my head against the wall trying to get through the room with the ninjas and the brute in the Knight's underground tunnel, because I didn't take advantage of combos and could barely fight the brute. Learning about all of that made it so much easier, now I just need to get around to playing Origins.

Another point about how well Arkham Knight integrates its side missions: most of them are technically tied to the main story. Penguin's gun running, Two Face robbing banks, Riddler's trials and threat to Catwoman, the bombs and bases choking the city, etc. are all part of the Arkham Knight's and Scarecrow's plan. As formidable as Batman is he's just one guy so everyone coordinates their attacks on Gotham to overwhelm Batman and exhaust him by throwing everything plus the kitchen sink at him. It's a literal, "he can stop one of us, but he can't stop ALL of us." mentality.

I was re-playing the Arkham Trilogy for the umpteenth time and a thought occurred to me: the biggest villain in Rocksteady's trilogy of games is not Ra's al Ghul, Scarecrow or even the Joker. It's Dr. Penelope Young. Were it not for her ambition and for blindly accepting money from Jack White without properly vetting him when, even Batman states that "Jack White" is a known alias of the Joker, not to mention the fact that she'd been torturing and draining Bane of the venom (which most likely wasn't even pure after he injected himself with TN-1) in his body to secretly create Titan, the chain of events, which ultimately lead to Batman's downfall would never have been set into motion. If she didn't renege on the deal with the Joker, he'd have had no reason to set fire to Blackgate to have his crew moved to Arkham or to get captured himself to retrieve the formula. Batman wouldn't have stopped him, and he'd not have ODed on Titan, and poisoned his blood. When Arkham City opened, which likely happened far sooner than Hugo Strange and Ra's al Ghul would have expected after the events at the Asylum, Joker wouldn't have ever been able to ship his poisoned blood to area hospitals and to poison Batman. Then, in Arkham Knight, the 4 infected with the Joker's blood wouldn't have fed into Batman's fears of becoming the Joker himself (after he effectively cured himself from the Titan/Joker blood), which only grew stronger after being hit with the Scarecrow's worst fear toxin he'd ever concocted. Batman's growing irrationality and inability to think properly thereafter ultimately lead to him making the stupidest mistakes in his entire (Arkham) career, and bring about his own downfall. What makes Dr. Young such an unwitting, albeit insidious villain in the franchise is that she was the one villain Batman never stopped. Batman went up against 8 assassins. He apprehended Mr. Freeze. He stopped Titan Joker, shut down Arkham City, reformed the Arkham Knight (inasmuch as he no longer had the desire to employ a militia and to destroy Gotham City to get to Batman) and he stopped the Scarecrow. Meanwhile, Dr. Young produced Titan under his and everyone else's noses, while he was looking away, pursuing all the "good" villains. By the time the Joker kills her, it's far too late for anything to be done. Without her, Batman would never have "died." I bring this up because it was an observation of mine and I've never really seen anyone do a video about her. Granted, she's not a villain in the conventional sense, or even a particularly bad person. But, it wasn't the police who brought down Al Capone, but the IRS. In the Arkhamverse, it's not the "good" villains who brought down the Bat, but an Arkham doctor.

Now this may sound like I’m repeating the same atmosphere post , but I find Arkham asylum to be the best at (and there’s no other real way to describe it) ‘being disturbingly fucked up’. What I mean is i find asylum explores just how messed up the criminals and asylum are more than the other games. Take for example the thug dialogue, in other games it’s usually just them joking around with each other or just seeing what they do in the meanwhile when they aren’t getting mercilessly beaten into the pavement by Batman , it humanises them and Some dialogue even makes you feel sympathy for them. Asylum on the other hand? Whilst there still is comedic moments from the thugs, their dialogue is usually pretty dark, such as when they’re discussing how each of them got hired by joker and one says how joker said for him to kill his sister, only he didn’t have one, but joker kept telling him so he just ran over the first girl he saw. Hell, I’d even say that joker is at his most disturbing in asylum, sure he has scary moments throughout the series, but asylum joker beats them by a landslide. One scene that sticks out to me in particular is when your in the sewers and a thug is questioning Joker, to which joker responds sarcastically, the thug then immediately tries to apologise only for joker to say he’ll send someone over to break his wives legs, the thug tries to beg him to stop only for joker to say something to the effect of ‘are you questioning my generosity?’ , it really puts into perspective how terrifying joker is as a villain and why so many are afraid of him, as even if he hurts you or your family, it’s him being ‘generous’. It shows his sadistic nature and his lack of empathy for anyone I’d even say that the set dressing in asylum adds to this ‘fucked up’ nature, there’s heads in jars, carcasses waiting to be wheeled into crocs cell, dead rats and leaves in the vents. It really adds this sense of ‘what the hell are they doing in this asylum?’ I think the audio tapes are also worth mentioning for the villains, as even though they don’t add real story information, it allows them to have a bit more time with the characters, exploring them a bit more. I think they also take the cake for disturbing stuff in the audio tapes, such as Zsasz describing a doctors daily routine, croc telling his doctor how he wants to eat the rest of cash as he ‘just got a taste’ , scarecrows first tape where he’s experimenting on a doctor, which leaves us wondering what Crane did to him. Even the tapes that aren’t outwardly creepy still have their fair share of fucked up moments, like riddler describing how a baby is the answer to his riddle, and when Doctor Young asks him why he would even think of something like that he just says ‘it’s not my baby’. Like the villains themselves just feel so much more disturbing than they are in other games in the series. TL;DR of this, I think asylum is best at showing how truly fucked up and disturbing the villains and Arkham asylum itself is

Great vid man ! The part about Arkham Knight was so interesting, I've never realized how the secondary missions were that well integrated with the main story and what effect it has on us as you explains it. That well thought integration and the immersion the game provides don't makes them feel like ordinary secondary quests in a video game. That truely makes you feel like the Batman.

Never really thought about that with knight but its right. Im playing it now and as you say it, i realize how often my attention is diverted in the best way. The main story will be important but ill see side missions pop up and feel the need to go and complete them and it feels rewarding to do them as you go through the story as a lot of them make sense to do so. You get a sense of how batman feels since youre constantly faced with new emerging threats all over the city and directly in your face. And if anything, ig now is the time to do a video on the biggest weaknesses of each game. Off the top of my head with knight, the utilization of characters was always lacking in my mind.

Here's my personal list of what each Arkham game does best for me. Asylum: Story. It's simple and yet it works so perfectly. It encapsulates Batman's struggles against his varying rouge gallery so well and how Batman always prevails with his iron will to never give up. Asylum is so iconic as a Batman story that if you tried to fit its story alone into the Animated Series canon or most other Batman canons, it would fit in just fine. People may think it plays it too safe but to me, it's exactly what I think the ideal Batman mythos should be. City: I actually fully agree with Clownpuncher's point that it has the best replayability, which leads to it having the best gameplay. I've played City for 12 years now and it still aged perfectly, striking a perfect balance between making Batman feel like an absolute badass without making him feel too superhuman. Any run is always guaranteed to be a good time. Origins: Villains. The villains in Origins feel like they are at their most oppressive. I think the game does a great job of making it feel like some of Gotham's worst are hunting down Batman in just one night, as well as having some of the best boss fights in the series. Origins may not have my favorite Arkham Joker but I still love his portrayal and beginning obsession with Batman. I also love that with this taking place in Batman's early career you see the GCPD at its most corrupt and mobsters across Gotham. Knight: Transitions. The transitions in Knight are incredibly smooth since you can do a variety of things and get back into the open world so naturally by either gliding away or taking the Batmobile. There are very little hard cuts across the story, making it immersive as you do one activity as Batman and you fully see him go to the next objective of your choosing.

Asylum had the best character bios, with handdrawn images, obscure characters and deep dives into the lore. In general, I'd say this game is the best starting point if you want to get into Batman. City had the best setting, going from a big asylum to an entire chunk of Gotham being converted into a super prison is both ridiculous and cool as fuck. Origins had the best DLC in the form of Cold Cold Heart. Great story, great boss, great villain, just a great time overall. Knight had the best traversal, nothing feels better than being catapulted 20 feet into the air with your grapnel boost and gliding at high speed afterwards KTJL had the best joke about Captain Boomerang's cock

Batman with Alfred, Joker, Bane, and Gordan), best DLC, best depiction of Batman's character, best cutscenes Knight-Best open world, best traversal, best exploration of Batman's inner conflict (ex. Seeing Joker on signs around Gotham, remembering Barbara being paralyzed by the Joker)

Origins has the best cinematics and I will fight people on that, sure in Knight the custom suits show up in cut scenes and that is cool, but the cinematography of some of the cut scenes in Origins is something else; the camera angles, the composition, the lighting, the music, whatever we have to say about the gameplay, when it comes to the cinematics Origins is a masterpiece, there is not a single other part of the Arkham franchise that sends shivers down my spine like the "You are a man, not an Island" scene.

The only fault Knight has in Side Mission integration is with Riddler, because while players would know at this point that Riddler Trophies are everywhere and you have to collect them to finish his missions, Knight makes you think otherwise because the riddle rooms aren't bound by trophy collection like City, so Riddler just suddenly goes "Here find 243 things! Then you're finished!" at the end of it, making the trophy hunt in Knight feel so much worse than City despite having 100 less. 243 is also just a very unsasitfying number, they couldn't think of 7 more? (EDIT: Got the trophy amount wrong)

A lot of those Riddler puzzles are easy to figure out. I think only two or three of them I have to look up. Mainly that one in the movie theater where the name of the color pops up on the screen but the font color is different. I just look up the order so I don't have to try memorizing stuff. But majority of them take like five seconds, especially if you know what to do. And at least it's only 237 instead of 440 like Arkham City. Well, the ones in Arkham City are A LOT easier and faster, but the ones in Arkham Knight are more well thought out and stuff. But imagine doing 440 well thought out ones instead of 237. I'm fine with 237. I don't know what the significance of 237 is though. Maybe it's a reference to something in the comics. I'm a Batman expert, but I'm no walking encyclopedia.

There is some cut dialogue from Catwoman that implies that they were originally going to do the quest like they did in City, where you would need to find trophies to get the location of the next riddle room. It seems like they changed it so that players who didn’t want to 100% the game could still get a satisfying enough conclusion with Catwoman being freed.

Asylum - best atmosphere but it also properly established the lore and batman mythos for the newcomers and the foundation of the series. City - The improvement of the systems established in the first game while addressing earlier concerns by adding layers. This where the series came into it's own. Origins - took the already refined features of city and spiced them up with unique enemy types like the enforcers, martial artist and brutes while also adding a layer of challenge. It has some of the best DLC in the series with the initiation and heart of ice dlc. Knight - the ultimate refinement of everything that came before and is a technical marvel that holds up to this day. Edit: Arkham City definitely has the best replayability. That flew over my head which is odd since it's the one I've played it the most. And I learned something new with the speed runs. Origins definitely has the best tutorial the best part is that the game doesn't stop entirely or instruduce mechanics like stealth 3 missions later long after I've used the mechanic (looking at you Insomniac's Spiderman games). Knight having the best side mission integration is also true especially since you can focus on that mission specifically and the game even has Alfred tells you to check on the city. But in city I remember doing the Mad hatter during protocol 10.

I also think origins establishes it’s characters the best in the series, both new and old, the game starts with Batman immediately jumping into action upon hearing their is an issue, before encountering a goon beating on the Warden, not only does Batman immediately take him out after countering but also has to counter the Warden before letting him go, not only establishing how he is harsh on criminals, but will try not to hurt those who he doesn’t believe did anything wrong, all the while establishing how much everyone fears him, you then see how sadistic Black Mask is, while also establishing how weird it is that he getting rid of the commissioner, who is working for him, especially weird with how twisted his reason for doing it is. This all concludes with Croc is shown to be both monsterous, while also being straight to the point by (failing in) smashing by an important chip, before you catch up to where he willingly stays behind to fight Batman, following after the fight we establish that he did it because he was an assassin hired by Black Mask, telling us how good the reward is, to the point where someone like Killer Croc couldn’t refuse the chance at the bounty, while also showing how relentless Batman’s interrogation can be even without killing. After we return, we establish Alfred’s and Bruce’s relationship, Alfred being concerned for Bruce going out, while Bruce goes back as long as people are or could be in danger, all the while introducing the assassins with both character’s personalities on show, stuff like Deathstroke using physical/non lethal means to show his professionalism, Deadshot pulling off insane kills showing both his skill and recklessness, heck even electrocutioner’s shows how he is much less skilled/professional in just this introduction, and that is just the intro, we also have the argument between Bruce and Alfred showing how they see what is going on differently, Gordon choosing by the book and moral ways of doing things, and even all of Bane’s scenes establishing how not only is he in it just to fight Batman, but he knows a lot more about him than most, it all does balancing better than any other games, to where each character feels like they show off the most they can with their scenes, versus the other games where the overwhelming focus on Joker and the current objective can deny the focus some characters deserve

I think Asylum has good atmosphere for sure, but I think what it does better is implied horror through really subtle dialogue, riddles, or visuals. Like, seeing Ras's foot when doing the Riddler missions is creepy, but when going back through there and seeing that its gone is bone chilling. Same thing with the medical building, there's amputated body parts placed in jars and stuff all over, and you're just kinda left going "Ew" But then when you learn more about the doctors you realize that some of them (Probably Doctor Young) are the ones responsible, which is just a bigger ew.

I will make one addendum to this- Sort of a by product of being more linear than the others, but Asylum by FAR has the best map and collectibles, every last inch of the Asylum has a purpose and is easy to navigate, remember, and explore, the smaller map means a much more tailored experience that's denser and richer in my opinion. I actually HAD FUN doing Riddler challenges in Asylum, rather than groaning in defeat and irritation that I missed that ONE trophy in the Airship or Steel Mill, and now I gotta go ALL THE way back, across the ENTIRE city, through MULTIPLE loading screens, with NO COMBAT ENCOUNTERS, just to tie up a single loose end. Actually lemme add a second thing, fast travel was the best feature in Origins and should've been kept in Knight and implemented sooner- As fun as the traversal- Make that a third, since the traversal in Knight was god tier, at least in terms of gliding- But back to my point, as fun as the traversal in Knight was, it felt severely lacking with no ease of use to quickly access any of the major interior locations, like the airships, the Studios, the GCPD, Pyg's hideout, the clocktower, and so on- I felt like there should've been at least one fast travel point between each region of the map that could be unlocked when you reached a certain location- It also felt a little weird to me how we see the Bat Cave in ONE whole game, Origins, and then never see what it evolved into beyond Bruce's initial years, we had the Batmobile in one game, the Batplane and Batcave in another game, and never did they meet in terms of gameplay. Oh, and also since I unintentionally made other points for all the other games, I might as well point out, while Knight had the largest cast of playable characters, City had the best and most balanced cast of playable characters, with everyone more or less having their own unique specialties, but still being able to do anything that anyone else could do, even if their approach were different- That is not true for Knight, as there's just straight up some enemy types that will NEVER spawn in or interact with characters like Red Hood, Harley, Catwoman and such, because the devs seemingly just couldn't be bothered to program those characters to work with certain enemy types, I think the brutes are the main example of this but there may be more- It'd have been nice to see Arkham Knight pull in all the best aspects of each previous game, but unfortunately, that just wasn't in the cards-
