I once had a friend who knew nothing about Star Wars. Then she watched the movies, then the TV shows, played the games, etc. and became a superfan. Watching her journey gave me such joy and it's the same joy I feel having watched Miranda play these Arkham games and become a Batman superfan. I know we still have the Telltale games to go, but this has been one of my favorite series ever. Well done!
Legitimately one of the most rage-inducing moments of the entire series. The only way I can complete it is to ignore takedowns and just bounce back and forth between countering and striking while in the focus mode. I think Rocksteady did exactly what they needed to do for a Riddler combat arena, though--something beyond tedious and next level irritating? Sounds like Eddie.
I think because they managed to construct a combat scenario that deconstructs the Freeflow formula; with freeflow we are rapidly moving around the battlefield, bounciing from enemy to enemy, and never standing still througout the fight, whereas in that fight you need to stand your ground in an ever shrinking combat stage, where falling into the Freeflow tactics that have carried you for 4 games end up hurting you.
One bad day doesn't just create villains, it can create heroes too. It's how we choose to respond to that bad day that shapes us moving forward. Bruce's one bad day was the day he lost his parents. He could've just as easily fallen to grief, despair, and anger. He also could've lashed out at everyone around him and blamed the whole world for what was taken from him. But instead, he chose to rise above it and become something better than what he was. Practically everyone has that one defining moment in their lives that changes them for better or for worse. And how we choose to respond to that moment is what shows the world who we truly are.
In the comics, Nightwing's big two relationships are Barbara (who was Batgirl when he was still Robin - they're about the same age and they basically grew up as vigilantes together) and the alien princess known as Starfire, who was his longtime teammate on the Teen Titans. Dick has had a few other love interests (as should be expected for a character who's existed since 1940), but those two are the most enduring. Tim, on the other hand, has dated a Batgirl. One of his most enduring relationships was with Stephanie Brown, who was originally the vigilante Spoiler (to thwart her father, the villain Cluemaster), before briefly becoming Robin when Tim retired (temporarily, and she had to fake her own death to escape that), and then becoming the third Batgirl, being trained by Barbara Gordon. He's also dated Wonder Girl (Cassandra Sandsmark), Tamara Fox (daughter of Lucius Fox), and most recently after coming out as bisexual, Bernard Dowd, a long-time friend.
I’m glad you like Nightwing. For the past few years, he’s been the closest thing DC has to a main character. His current run under Tom Taylor, starting with “Leaping into the Light”, is probably the best the character has ever been. You’ll hear a lot of (justified) flak against the New 52, but you should absolutely read Grant Morrison’s run on Batman. It might be the longest continuous stretch of peak quality that comic has ever had.
The Catwoman DLC combat arena is single-handedly the most difficult combat arena in the entire series, so don't feel bad about how long it took you to finish it. There's really no indication whether Dick and Babs in the Arkham universe had any sort of relationship or feelings towards each other outside of their crime-fighting partnership. That being said, Dick and Babs in the comics? Long-time lovers on-and-off. I believe they've become engaged in recent years. As far as the Penguin goes, he was played by Nolan North, perhaps most famously known as Nathan Drake. Definitely stoked for the Telltale Batman games. I think you'd love them. It's sad to see the Arkham series come to an end on your channel--I discovered you through Twitter when you announced you were going to be playing them and followed you immediately because I always love seeing people discovering Batman and his world for the first time through these games. I'm grateful that you'll be uploading more Batman-related content to your reaction channel, because I've really had fun watching your mind get blown as you fall deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole. I can't wait to see your reactions to his very extensive franchise media. A lot of people will tell you to hit the movies and the DC Animated Universe (and you 100% should, the DCAU is the gold standard of Batman adaptations), but I'd also love to see your thoughts on the Adam West TV show and movie from the 1960s. I think you'd have a lot of laughs and fun with a totally different take on Batman. Looking forward to whatever you're gonna do next!
31:00 Nightwing is the only person closest to being Batman skill wise other than Bruce Wayne. When Bruce is gone or something happened to Bruce, Nightwing even substituted for Bruce as Batman for some time, stopped and fought all the crimes perfectly and nobody noticed anything. Nobody other than the Joker noticed it was Nightwing pretending to be Batman, because he has such deep connection with Batman he immediately knew it wasn't Batman with just one look. The only person who substituted for Batman and done a good job about it was Azrael but Azrael had been physically modified and even wearing some special suit to be able to keep up to Batman's level whereas Dick did everything on his own along with Batman's usual gadgets. Dick Grayson will forever remain Bruce's biggest pride and his prodigal son. The very fact that he was leader of the Teen Titans and also even get to date Starfire as her significant other speaks volumes of his skill and character. Even in this game Arkham Knight Bruce said to Dick at the last Penguin mission that he's proud of him, and Batman is someone with very strict and high standards, often asking for nothing but perfection.
the batgirl story is only 90% probably because you didn't pop all the balloons, you didn't destroy all the joker teeth and you didn't find all the jokes in the boxes.
This. Unlike the others which play more straightforward like individual missions, the Batgirl DLC is basically a mini story mode complete with collectables and the like. Rocksteady made all the other DLC missions, but the Batgirl one was made by the Arkham Origins devs who got to play briefly with Arkham Knight's mechanics and system. We saw what they got to do with Origins being built off of Arkham City's files (Origins is basically a heavily modded City, done that way to save on development time and cost) so the Batgirl DLC was a look at what they could have done with Knight's assets.
@@TheMirandalorian LOL. Batman is my top favorite DC character. my second favorite is his cousin Batwoman (Kate Kane). the rest of the bat family for third.
@@TheMirandalorian Dirty innuendo aside, yeah Dick Grayson's Robin was made famous in the 1960's Adam West Batman tv series and movie which was more cheesy and lighthearted than the dark and brooding Batman we got from the 80's on. Robin had a catchphrase in that show that was pretty popular among fans. He'd always say "Holy (blank) Batman!" with the blank filled in by some random thing or reference relating to the situation at hand. If they showed up at a bank robbery and the vault was emptied, he might say "Holy missing money, Batman!" or something along those lines. While later iterations of the character dropped that catchphrase, one of the movies in the 90's did pay homage to it since it was Robin's first live action appearance since the 60's series. Definitely check out the other Batman films when you're done with the Dark Knight trilogy, there's some fun stuff in there like that.
Fun fact, remember that massive starfish in the aquarium from the Batgirl DLC? It`s actually an alien called Staro. Appearently it was the Justice League`s very first enemy. In case you`d like to know where I got this from, someone made a video about an iceberg chart for the Batman Arkham games.
In the comics Barbara and Dick were lovers for a while. It's realty strange because n the comics Tim Drake is like at least 12 years younger then Barbara, so he's barely a teen while she's a full grown women, but in this game they aged Tim up and made THEM lovers, something that doesn't happen anywhere else. I't's just, icky for us long time batman fans.
An extra congrats on this, because the last fight with the Riddlerbots was hands down the hardest fight in the series Also that pair of dice you were looking at in the display case also had psychic reading cards, which were from Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth comic, where Two-Face was using them as alternate ways to make decisions without his coin. Lastly in the first hallway you walked passed the Holiday Killer’s gun hanging on the wall with a painting of Gilda Dent across from it
I’m surprised you didn’t notice in the hall where you mentioned it was a mess and had roaches in the Robin dlc that the hall was like two face himself. The left side was nice and the right was trashed. In fact all the rooms in that last bit are half and half.
This was such a great series, I loved playing along with you and watching you fall in love with batman! looking forward to whats next in your comic journey!
Definitely agree that the riddlerbors fight was absolutely difficult. Its super hard to see because of the lasers, electric floors, and robots everywhere. It was hard to focus. That was really smart of staying in one spot, i never knew that the electric floor would stop. I couldve sworn the electric floors kept going until you ran out of floors
Great playthrough Miranda! I really enjoyed you falling in love with Batman and learning the lore. And it’s ok if you like Nightwing more cuz I do and I will die in this hill 😂😂 Can’t wait for more Batman and more gameplay from you 😊
Did you try out the racing challenges also? I loved those, you can choose the 50's Batmobile while the lengendary theme song is playing in the background. And also you can drive the '89 Keaton Batmobile through the winter setting of Burton's movies.
[Sorry for the long comment, I really wanted to say what I felt with this playthrough. Hope you read it] This comment is the extended version of the one I left at the video of the end of the main campaign. I have to say I'm proud of how far you come since your first playthrough of Arkham Asylum. I remembered I was looking for a new playthrough of this saga and then you popped out. I liked that you knew nothing about Batman and the other characters because that game is one the best introductions to that massive world. I'm not going to lie, when you started I love your curiosity but when I see your gameplay, I wasn't so sure I wanted to see 4 entire playthroughts with that gameplay, but either way, I stayed because of your optimisim. The moment that striked me, the one that told me to keep watching you, was the episode after defeating Harley Queen. When you said that you've been training out camera and then seeing all your moves repeating the same battle you did before, I knew I had to watch your gameplay because the mayority don't bother playing the challenges maps(me included) but you did and being honest of all the people who made a playthrough of these game, you are by far the best one (although sometimes you can have your MiranDA moments hahaha). I'm just going to say that you are a better player than most people. The other thing that for me made you the best is your journey with the comic books. You are the first one I've seen being so interested in reading Batman's comic books while playing the games. It was great because it made you appreciate all the characters, story, easter eggs, etc. maybe someday you could react to a video higlighting all the secrets of each game, a recommendation would be the channel Batman Arkham Videos (it's not an official channel from Rocksteady but a fanmade, it's great). Right now in my head I have so many things to say but are hard to write them, not only because of you but these games which were a part of my childhood. I'm just glad that you experience them and that you became a fan of this world. I know this is not the end and we have many Batman content for the future but it's sad this spectacular journey ended but happy it happened. For moments like this is always great look back at the past and see how much progress we made because that's what I'm going to do, I'm going to look back at the Arkham Asylum videos to see how it started. Answering on of your questions I would say my favorite DC character is Superman, I love his character because is simple but complex at the same time, he's the embodement honesty, goodness, happiness, etc. I really recommend you to read his comics, you are going to love him. I remembered that someone gifted you the comic "Superman For All Seasons" that's a great one but if I have to recommend you another ones would be "Superman All Star", "Superman: Up In The Sky", "Whatever Happend To The Man of Tomorrow" and those are one of many. I also I want to say thak you for uploading this, it was a great time to pass the time. Although, the Batman journey continues through movies and animation I would also recommend you to watch projects of others DC heroes, they are great. And in the realm of videogames we have the Wonde Woman game to look up to so I know we are going to come back to this universe very soon.
These games will always be special to me. I was just looking for a game to get into and figured let me try Asylum, I'd owned it for a while but never played it, only my brother did a few times. After a couple weeks, Asylum became my 1st ever Platinum. I wasn't even trying to get the Platinum, i just happened to notice I only needed the combat challenge trophies to platinum so I just took that afternoon to get those last 3 trophies to get the Platinum. Then I went straight to City, that took me several months to Platinum only because of Advanced AR 2 just like you. During those months to platinum was when Origins came out and i went all in on that, all story (no online) trophies completed within a few weeks. When Knight finally came out, i went all in on that too. That Arkham Knight Platinum with 100% next to every DLC and challenge for 110 trophies out of 110 is my proudest gaming achievement.
When I first played these games, I was obsessed, but didn’t know what to do next. I moved into the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and mannnn I’m obsessed with that too. I’d love to see you play a few of these titles.
*COMBO: 108* 👌 What a perfect way to end by saving the best 'till last! 🤘👏🙌 I had trouble with the robots until I decided to do as many instant takedowns as my combo count would allow. It took me 4 attempts. Thank you for the final video upload of your Batman series. It's been an incredible 5-month journey and one I'll never forget, Miranda! 😊
35:50 yes. As stated by many other commenters, in the comics, Dick and Barbra had on and off relationships. Tim and Barbra's relationship is only part of the Arkham games. In terms of comic character age differences, think of it like: Barbra and Dick are in their mid to late 20's, Tim is in his mid to late teen's and Damian is around 10-12.
batgirl dlc has a few collectibles but also you missed audio tapes from a man who owned the place his daughter was sick and he wanted to build a park for her so harley was his psychiatris i mean she acted like harleen and she introduced jack white (joker) to him and he brought dr young so she was using titan formula on his daughter and it was keeping her alive (the man didn't know what it was) so after park was done they stoped using titan and little girl died and then park was belonging to joker and he game a pill to a man said it would be easier and so in the last tape he takes that pill and dies laughing and you can find his body there
😢This video is so bittersweet, I enjoyed watching it and seeing my favorite Superhero kick some butt however I'm sad that she's done with the series and there's no Arkham games left. I hope everyone has a day as wonderful as Miranda looks as the Joker.
That Catwoman fight is really really broken, so don’t feel like you did anything wrong. I consider myself to be borderline obsessive about the combat and I barely managed to get a winning attempt after countless tries. My controller nearly ended up lodged in my TV that night 😂
I would love to see a Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth series. Just in case you're not familiar, No you don't need to play the other Final Fantasy games they are completely separate stories (and having a blind playthrough from someone who hasn't played the OG FF7 from 1997 would be really cool.)
Yes not the only here, even I got struggling Riddler bots without getting electric so many tries. As Nightwing is my favorite comedy tricking the penguin lol 39:14
My favorite Comic Book character...In 1977 I was 5 years old. That year, I was introduced to 2 things. Star Wars and...Superman. That's when I got my first comic book. I know people think he's boring but he's the character I've always identified with. He's an outsider. He has the power to rule us all, yet he chooses to live quietly among us. He's the embodiment of Hope. One year later, the Superman film came out and for the second time in 2 years my life was forever changed. My Top 5 Comic Book Characters: 1 - Superman 2 - Batman 3 - Wonder Woman 4 - Spider-Man 5 - The Incredible Hulk
@@KristianDavies-tm3dvAgreed! I too completed this game recently and think I was very lucky to complete catwoman dlc with the minimum of health left. It was such a relief to get through it after several attempts! 🤭
How about a video on how you improved your combat skills? Having a brutal time with the combat challenges as a long-time button masher. Still can't get past bronze on the easier boards.
Thumbs up if you wanna see Miranda do a Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth playthrough. It was fun seeing you play the Arkham games and reliving some memorable moments and for you to be introduced into the Batman universe.
53:21 Why didn`t she do it the first time, I`ve been seeing multi-takedown button right after she shuts down the machine gun. Instead she did it at 55:36
I am glad that you were lucky enough to get acquainted with this series of games. I personally love all the parts and find in each of them something unique that is not present in the other. Arkham Knight is definitely in the first place in terms of visual and gameplay. I know some people don't like the story, but I liked it overall, especially the ending. I think that you definitely need to get acquainted with the games from Telltale, they are worth it. As for the DLC, they are short, but they give you the opportunity to feel the gameplay for other characters, whereas in the main game there was either too little or no gameplay for them. I hope you will someday return to the universe of these games in order to collect all the trophies and riddles of Nygma) Regarding the DC universe, it is really big and it is not necessary to consider it only from the perspective of the bat family. You must definitely get to the other heroes of this world, they are no less cool and interesting. Good luck with your future walkthroughs)))
Yeah, especially with all her interest in exploring the extended Bat Family and wanting a game with more of them. That game is all about Dick, Jason, Tim and Barbara working together without Bruce and would be right up her alley.
You'll have fun with the TellTale games. The 2nd one is particularly good. They are a completely different animal than the Arkham games and they throw the established lore out the window, but it's ok as it keeps things surprising. Also, they are interesting as they actually make it quite fun to play as Bruce
Interesting Book Ends that Riddler in Catwoman's DLC, the last time he appeared in the Arkhamverse (until 2024), he was a voice on the phone without any physical presnce, whose story ends with him being caught by the police; just like in Asylum
A possible suggestion to check out would be the lego games, they are definately not on the level of difficulty that the Arkham games are on and they are a lot more kid friendly, but they are still quite enjoyable and feature a lot of characters, DC have 4 of them, 3 Lego Batman games, and Lego DC Supervillains, which see the likes of Joker and Lex Luthor up aganist the Crime Syndicate, while Marvel also has 3, including one based on the first two Avengers films.
Miranda you should try Gotham Knights you get to play as the bat family . Batwoman, Redhood, Robin, & Nightinwing .They look how they would appear in the comics and so do the villains apart from Redhood when he has mask off.
There was a storyline, I don't know if it is main canon, but one where Dick Grayson for a time takes over the Batman's cowl, and goes out as Batman. Superman gets upset and tells Dick to knock it off.
Did you say if you were going to play Suicide Squad? It's not an Arkham game but it continues the story after Arkham Knight and has a lot of the characters from the Batman games tied in with the rest of the DC Universe.
If you like the rivalry between Catwoman and the Riddler then you might enjoy the GOTHAM CITY SIRENS storyline. Selena, Harley & Ivy take Gotham by storm. I think you'll love it.
Since u asked in the end of this video... 1. Favourite DC character : Batman & any villain(mostly Joker /Harley) /ally (mostly Catwoman /Red hood) related to him.(Unlike Marvel where I love more than one heroes ,I love only Batman in DC & It was worth it) 2. Favourite Arkham Game : That's tough ,I love the full trilogy together. 3. Favourite Moment : Again ,a tough one. Maybe •Asylum's Titan Joker fight •City's Joker 1st reveal & Later Catwoman came to save batman and Joker's death scene •Origins's Deathstroke fight ,Joker reveal ,Both Bane fights & Coppehead •Knight's Arkham knight first reveal at ace chemicals ,Joker hallucinations ,that investigating scene on finding babara ,Jason todd memories ,Final Jason todd stealth fight ,Harley rampaging at the studios ,pre-ending from surrender utility belt to scaring well,Scarecrow with his own toxin ,and of course knightfall ending.
Always loved spiderman favorite super hero batman a close second. So 1 marvel and 1 dc. Spiderman because his powers are alsome and great villians. Batman because his gadgets are awesome and also he has great villians and how its more dark than Spiderman.
I once had a friend who knew nothing about Star Wars. Then she watched the movies, then the TV shows, played the games, etc. and became a superfan. Watching her journey gave me such joy and it's the same joy I feel having watched Miranda play these Arkham games and become a Batman superfan. I know we still have the Telltale games to go, but this has been one of my favorite series ever. Well done!
I am seriously impressed. That Catwoman fight is a pain and a half. You’ve gotten very good at this game.
Don't be upset with how long that riddler catwoman fight took you
It's considered probably the hardest boss fight
Not just the hardest but the worst designed. Whoever designed that needs a heated pillow
Legitimately one of the most rage-inducing moments of the entire series. The only way I can complete it is to ignore takedowns and just bounce back and forth between countering and striking while in the focus mode.

Nightwing is my fave, the first Robin to Nightwing and even became Batman.
11:14 Riddler uses so many big words even his own robots don't understand him.
It was an absolute pleasure watching you discovering my favorite super hero
I’m glad you like Nightwing. For the past few years, he’s been the closest thing DC has to a main character. His current run under Tom Taylor, starting with “Leaping into the Light”, is probably the best the character has ever been.

Nope. It's because of the error.

It’s about Harley Quinn’s origins story and it is so good!!❤
The most beautiful art I’ve ever seen!!

59:00 the solution was to turn the half of them to match the clean and destroyed sides. Its two face after all

35:34 Barbara and Tim being a couple in the Arkham continuity makes as little sense as Bruce Timm's obsession with Bruce and Barbara as one.
Great playthrough Miranda! I really enjoyed you falling in love with Batman and learning the lore. And it’s ok if you like Nightwing more cuz I do and I will die in this hill 😂😂 Can’t wait for more Batman and more gameplay from you 😊
I feel you with that Catwoman DLC. That last fight might be the toughest thing in all the games. Let the expletives fly!🤬
Did you try out the racing challenges also? I loved those, you can choose the 50's Batmobile while the lengendary theme song is playing in the background. And also you can drive the '89 Keaton Batmobile through the winter setting of Burton's movies.
If you haven’t seen Joker yet, I highly recommend it. Part 2 is coming out this year starting Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn
And its a musical ☹️
@@davidcastillo4141oh yeah it’s a musical thriller
28:33 Nice little Easter Egg to Young Justice there.
[Sorry for the long comment, I really wanted to say what I felt with this playthrough. Hope you read it]
This comment is the extended version of the one I left at the video of the end of the main campaign. I have to say I'm proud of how far you come since your first playthrough of Arkham Asylum. I remembered I was looking for a new playthrough of this saga and then you popped out. I liked that you knew nothing about Batman and the other characters because that game is one the best introductions to that massive world.
I'm not going to lie, when you started I love your curiosity but when I see your gameplay, I wasn't so sure I wanted to see 4 entire playthroughts with that gameplay, but either way, I stayed because of your optimisim. The moment that striked me, the one that told me to keep watching you, was the episode after defeating Harley Queen. When you said that you've been training out camera and then seeing all your moves repeating the same battle you did before, I knew I had to watch your gameplay because the mayority don't bother playing the challenges maps(me included) but you did and being honest of all the people who made a playthrough of these game, you are by far the best one (although sometimes you can have your MiranDA moments hahaha). I'm just going to say that you are a better player than most people.
The other thing that for me made you the best is your journey with the comic books. You are the first one I've seen being so interested in reading Batman's comic books while playing the games. It was great because it made you appreciate all the characters, story, easter eggs, etc. maybe someday you could react to a video higlighting all the secrets of each game, a recommendation would be the channel Batman Arkham Videos (it's not an official channel from Rocksteady but a fanmade, it's great).
Right now in my head I have so many things to say but are hard to write them, not only because of you but these games which were a part of my childhood. I'm just glad that you experience them and that you became a fan of this world. I know this is not the end and we have many Batman content for the future but it's sad this spectacular journey ended but happy it happened. For moments like this is always great look back at the past and see how much progress we made because that's what I'm going to do, I'm going to look back at the Arkham Asylum videos to see how it started.
Answering on of your questions I would say my favorite DC character is Superman, I love his character because is simple but complex at the same time, he's the embodement honesty, goodness, happiness, etc. I really recommend you to read his comics, you are going to love him. I remembered that someone gifted you the comic "Superman For All Seasons" that's a great one but if I have to recommend you another ones would be "Superman All Star", "Superman: Up In The Sky", "Whatever Happend To The Man of Tomorrow" and those are one of many.
I also I want to say thak you for uploading this, it was a great time to pass the time. Although, the Batman journey continues through movies and animation I would also recommend you to watch projects of others DC heroes, they are great. And in the realm of videogames we have the Wonde Woman game to look up to so I know we are going to come back to this universe very soon.
When I played the Catwoman DLC, i invented new words that would even impress The Riddler.
Having nolan north as Penguin's voice is one of the most smart decisions they made with this series.
Can’t wait to see what you’re going to play next! I’m happy I joined to enjoy the Arkham run!
These games will always be special to me. I was just looking for a game to get into and figured let me try Asylum, I'd owned it for a while but never played it, only my brother did a few times. After a couple weeks, Asylum became my 1st ever Platinum. I wasn't even trying to get the Platinum, i just happened to notice I only needed the combat challenge trophies to platinum so I just took that afternoon to get those last 3 trophies to get the Platinum. Then I went straight to City, that took me several months to Platinum only because of Advanced AR 2 just like you. During those months to platinum was when Origins came out and i went all in on that, all story (no online) trophies completed within a few weeks. When Knight finally came out, i went all in on that too. That Arkham Knight Platinum with 100% next to every DLC and challenge for 110 trophies out of 110 is my proudest gaming achievement.
When I first played these games, I was obsessed, but didn’t know what to do next. I moved into the Assassin’s Creed franchise, and mannnn I’m obsessed with that too. I’d love to see you play a few of these titles.
*COMBO: 108* 👌 What a perfect way to end by saving the best 'till last! 🤘👏🙌
I had trouble with the robots until I decided to do as many instant takedowns as my combo count would allow. It took me 4 attempts.
Thank you for the final video upload of your Batman series. It's been an incredible 5-month journey and one I'll never forget, Miranda! 😊
Makes me sad that she missed the shark moment in the Nightwing dlc 😂
Happy to see U on the same boat as we are on being A fan of Batman & this series.❤❤❤
35:50 yes. As stated by many other commenters, in the comics, Dick and Barbra had on and off relationships. Tim and Barbra's relationship is only part of the Arkham games. In terms of comic character age differences, think of it like: Barbra and Dick are in their mid to late 20's, Tim is in his mid to late teen's and Damian is around 10-12.
batgirl dlc has a few collectibles but also you missed audio tapes from a man who owned the place his daughter was sick and he wanted to build a park for her so harley was his psychiatris i mean she acted like harleen and she introduced jack white (joker) to him and he brought dr young so she was using titan formula on his daughter and it was keeping her alive (the man didn't know what it was) so after park was done they stoped using titan and little girl died and then park was belonging to joker and he game a pill to a man said it would be easier and so in the last tape he takes that pill and dies laughing and you can find his body there
Absolutely, I’m excited to see you play the TellTale game. It’s an interesting story.
You did good! I admittedly never beat Nightwing in Harley’s DLC. And I never got past that last elevator level in catwomans lol
😢This video is so bittersweet, I enjoyed watching it and seeing my favorite Superhero kick some butt however I'm sad that she's done with the series and there's no Arkham games left. I hope everyone has a day as wonderful as Miranda looks as the Joker.
Damn 100+ combos?! Incredible!
That Catwoman fight is really really broken, so don’t feel like you did anything wrong. I consider myself to be borderline obsessive about the combat and I barely managed to get a winning attempt after countless tries. My controller nearly ended up lodged in my TV that night 😂
I would love to see a Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth series. Just in case you're not familiar, No you don't need to play the other Final Fantasy games they are completely separate stories (and having a blind playthrough from someone who hasn't played the OG FF7 from 1997 would be really cool.)
Yes not the only here, even I got struggling Riddler bots without getting electric so many tries. As Nightwing is my favorite comedy tricking the penguin lol 39:14
My favorite Comic Book character...In 1977 I was 5 years old. That year, I was introduced to 2 things. Star Wars and...Superman. That's when I got my first comic book. I know people think he's boring but he's the character I've always identified with. He's an outsider. He has the power to rule us all, yet he chooses to live quietly among us. He's the embodiment of Hope.
One year later, the Superman film came out and for the second time in 2 years my life was forever changed.
My Top 5 Comic Book Characters:
1 - Superman
2 - Batman
3 - Wonder Woman
4 - Spider-Man
5 - The Incredible Hulk
You know how I feel. I completed it this morning for the first time.😅
Congrats on completing the game! 👍🥳
The Catwoman side quest is the hardest level in Batman😶
@@KristianDavies-tm3dvAgreed! I too completed this game recently and think I was very lucky to complete catwoman dlc with the minimum of health left. It was such a relief to get through it after several attempts! 🤭
Under the red hood is a must watch for your movie channel now that you are a big Batman fan !
Before I forget. Like the bowtie. You can see though it. Looks like making patterns. 🦇
Gotham knights after the telltale games would be cool. No where near Arkham games but I think you’d enjoy it.
How about a video on how you improved your combat skills? Having a brutal time with the combat challenges as a long-time button masher. Still can't get past bronze on the easier boards.
they have The Flying Graysons in Batman Forever along with Jim Carrey as The Riddler and Tommy Lee Jones as Two-Faced. it is a really good movie.
41:57 “it’s not a phase mum! I’m the Batman now!”
You should play Gotham Knights if you want to play as Batgirl and the rest of the Batfamily. It has an amazing story!
Thumbs up if you wanna see Miranda do a Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth playthrough. It was fun seeing you play the Arkham games and reliving some memorable moments and for you to be introduced into the Batman universe.
22:15 i never got past that point. I felt it wasn't worth the stress.
I hope Miranda knows that the joker sang again during the end credits
Now you can play Gotham Knights or Suicide Squad. I genuinely think you would like them
I loved the Dark Nights: metal series. I hope you get a chance to read it at some point
53:21 Why didn`t she do it the first time, I`ve been seeing multi-takedown button right after she shuts down the machine gun. Instead she did it at 55:36
I am glad that you were lucky enough to get acquainted with this series of games. I personally love all the parts and find in each of them something unique that is not present in the other. Arkham Knight is definitely in the first place in terms of visual and gameplay. I know some people don't like the story, but I liked it overall, especially the ending. I think that you definitely need to get acquainted with the games from Telltale, they are worth it. As for the DLC, they are short, but they give you the opportunity to feel the gameplay for other characters, whereas in the main game there was either too little or no gameplay for them. I hope you will someday return to the universe of these games in order to collect all the trophies and riddles of Nygma) Regarding the DC universe, it is really big and it is not necessary to consider it only from the perspective of the bat family. You must definitely get to the other heroes of this world, they are no less cool and interesting. Good luck with your future walkthroughs)))
Time to play Gotham Knights now. It's not in the same continuity, but it's also good.
Yeah, especially with all her interest in exploring the extended Bat Family and wanting a game with more of them. That game is all about Dick, Jason, Tim and Barbara working together without Bruce and would be right up her alley.
@@VegetaLF7 She'd adore it, I think!
You'll have fun with the TellTale games. The 2nd one is particularly good. They are a completely different animal than the Arkham games and they throw the established lore out the window, but it's ok as it keeps things surprising. Also, they are interesting as they actually make it quite fun to play as Bruce
Loved the episode as usuall
You will enjoy the Telltale games. I hope that you will consider doing a Gotham watch along. Excellent TV show based on Batman
Interesting Book Ends that Riddler in Catwoman's DLC, the last time he appeared in the Arkhamverse (until 2024), he was a voice on the phone without any physical presnce, whose story ends with him being caught by the police; just like in Asylum
The Arkham Games are the only place Tim and Barbra are together. Everything else is Dick and Barbra
Yeah, Dick is either with Barbara or Starfire. Our boy has a thing for fiery redheads. Who can really blame him?
You should finish the Arkham Knight Riddler challenges because you get to beat up Riddler
If you watch or read the dark knight returns you might enjoy the Robin named Carrie Kelly
I really struggled with the Catwoman fight too!
You should react to the riddler boss fight and cutscene with catwoman that plays after it
Cash said don't make me take away your chess set.
These games are amazing! Amazing playthroughs! Also if you ever get a chance read Batman Shadow of the Bat its good.
A possible suggestion to check out would be the lego games, they are definately not on the level of difficulty that the Arkham games are on and they are a lot more kid friendly, but they are still quite enjoyable and feature a lot of characters, DC have 4 of them, 3 Lego Batman games, and Lego DC Supervillains, which see the likes of Joker and Lex Luthor up aganist the Crime Syndicate, while Marvel also has 3, including one based on the first two Avengers films.
Miranda you should try Gotham Knights you get to play as the bat family . Batwoman, Redhood, Robin, & Nightinwing .They look how they would appear in the comics and so do the villains apart from Redhood when he has mask off.
Well at least we got the answer on when you would do the Arkham episodes.
You need to look up the Robin stories from the 90s. Tim Drake was the coolest Robin.
I would absolutely love to see u play the telltale games
I'd love to see you play the Batman Tell-Tale games. Are you also gonna play the new Suicide Squad game?
The bow tie!
Who else can't get enough of catwoman ❤😍
I really would like to see more Batman games
There was a storyline, I don't know if it is main canon, but one where Dick Grayson for a time takes over the Batman's cowl, and goes out as Batman. Superman gets upset and tells Dick to knock it off.
Are you gonna play suicide squad kill the justice league? Its a continuation of the arkham games
I would love to see Remedy (Alan Wake, Max Payne) or CD ProjectRed (Cyberpunk, Witcher) take a shot at a Batman game.
Yes to the telltale games
Did you say if you were going to play Suicide Squad? It's not an Arkham game but it continues the story after Arkham Knight and has a lot of the characters from the Batman games tied in with the rest of the DC Universe.
Oh boy, I can’t wait for your replay of these games, and especially to see what things you might have missed the first time around. :)
I so hope she does! I’d love to see her complete the Riddler quests on New Game +.
Sad thumbnail face or sneeze thumbnail face?
31:37 -for or five is not ten tousands...
Miranda you should play Gotham Knights
If you like the rivalry between Catwoman and the Riddler then you might enjoy the GOTHAM CITY SIRENS storyline. Selena, Harley & Ivy take Gotham by storm. I think you'll love it.
Since u asked in the end of this video...
1. Favourite DC character : Batman & any villain(mostly Joker /Harley) /ally (mostly Catwoman /Red hood) related to him.(Unlike Marvel where I love more than one heroes ,I love only Batman in DC & It was worth it)
2. Favourite Arkham Game : That's tough ,I love the full trilogy together.
3. Favourite Moment : Again ,a tough one. Maybe
•Asylum's Titan Joker fight
•City's Joker 1st reveal & Later Catwoman came to save batman and Joker's death scene
•Origins's Deathstroke fight ,Joker reveal ,Both Bane fights & Coppehead
•Knight's Arkham knight first reveal at ace chemicals ,Joker hallucinations ,that investigating scene on finding babara ,Jason todd memories ,Final Jason todd stealth fight ,Harley rampaging at the studios ,pre-ending from surrender utility belt to scaring well,Scarecrow with his own toxin ,and of course knightfall ending.
Wait did u ever get to fight riddler? Because there’s something really special at the end when you beat him
Cash says: "Don't make me take away your chess set." By the way, the Riddler monologues nowhere near as much as the Chosen from XCom 2.
Can you watch Batman and Catwoman’s goodbye scene?
Always loved spiderman favorite super hero batman a close second. So 1 marvel and 1 dc. Spiderman because his powers are alsome and great villians. Batman because his gadgets are awesome and also he has great villians and how its more dark than Spiderman.
