Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy. This song and entire scene will never feel the same again after today. From TAS, to Justice League, to the legendary Arkham stories... he will always be THE Batman for me. It hurts so fucking much.
Today...every Batman fan out there I am sure are listening to this theme right now. Those who do not know...Kevin Conroy has passed away on November 10th, 2022, at the age of 66. May this theme pay true tribute to him and his 30 years of being the voice of Batman. Forever and ever, he will always be...." I am Vengeance, I am the Night! I AM BATMAN!!"
"But I know the rage that drives you. That impossible anger strangling the grief, until the memory of your loved one is just... poison in your veins. And one day, you catch yourself wishing the person you loved had never existed, so you would be spared your pain." -Ra's al Ghul
This is downright devastating. I can't believe that the person who made my childhood better with the Arkham games, and who made so many people's childhoods and lives better with TAS, JL and these games, is now gone. Thank you, Kevin... for everything. Rest in peace.
Don’t feel too sad. He lived a long and very fulfilling life. He touched the lives, minds, hearts & souls of millions of people! He help so many find a way to keep going through their darkest hours & may never know the true impact he had on the world.
On this day...Kevin Conroy, our voice for the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, has passed away. As Batman kneel'd to show respect for his parents, we should do the same for him. Forever our Batman, may your soul rest in peace, Kevin Conroy.
Imagine this. You know full well how Batman came to be. The murder of his parents when he was at a young age. It was an event that continues to haunt him to this very day. And you return to the very place where he last saw his parents. And as you pay your respects, this music plays as Batman kneels to the crime scene that once belonged to his parents, and the camera slowly rotates around him, with the snow continuing to fall, and Doctor Strange, taunting you by implying that you are a broken man. A broken man who is no better than the criminals he brutalizes every night, whilst dressing like a bat. In the end, we know that this made the confrontation with Strange all the more satisfying.
I found the alley and the tape right after strange died. Was made all the sadder by hearing him tell Batman he looks forward to breaking him, knowing full well that never came to be.
That part of the game was brilliant. It's better when you don't listen Strange's tape first. Just the image of Batman paying respect to his parents. All visual, no dialogue, just the music, perfect
Actually, someone did a custom playback for this scene and honestly, it is perfect. It starts with the parents leaving, then the guy holding them up, each get shot while Bruce cries out for them, then it plays half of hugo's line, and it ends with Batman saying to the joker how he would have saved him, even after all he has done. It's worth the watch, trust me.
Ravioko Search on here "Batman: Arkham City - Remembrance" and it should be a video by Tim Timsen. It's a beautiful mix that he does with various audio clips that mix well together and talk about perfect timing with the music. He nails it. Might even make you choke up a bit too
Actually if you listen to some select tapes such as the Victor Fries when interrogated by Strange, Zsszas' back story or the tape Hugo leaves for you. It just added an extra certain weight to the music and stories your listening to making them feel way more emotional and real. Should try it out if you still have the game.
It's really sad when you think about it, Bruce Wayne died with his parents in that alleyway, that night the Batman was born, an unrelenting force in his quest for vengeance against those who took his parents.
That was the day when Bruce Wayne died... and Batman was born. "Bruce Wayne" then became nothing more than a shadow of his former self, a liability, a cover for Batman to hides and strikes out when the time is right.
Dear Kevin Conroy, you will always be the world’s dark knight in the night of by daylight you showed me light in my life by you being The Batman in my childhood right now RIP Kevin Conroy sincerely, Cassidy.J .O He/him/his
Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy… Thank you for being a part of my childhood. You and your tremendous talent as Batman will never be forgotten. You will always be my Dark Knight. The one and only. Batman will forever be my favorite DC hero. 😢🙏🦇
Cliche? Mind explaining? And a emotional roller coaster, please. With Jason Todd death in the death of the family references, the killing joke references, joker taunting you through out the game, the moment in ace chemicals "goodbye Alfred". The only things that got me emotional was this music right here(which was done in a darker way in arkham knight) and jokers death.
“How does it feel Wayne? To stand on the very stones that ran with your parents blood? Do you feel sad? Full of rage? Or does that outfit help bury your feelings? Oh, you are truly an extraordinary specimen. I look forward to breaking you!” I can still hear that audio clip in my head
As I traversed the crime infested prison city, bogged down with turf wars and people craving nothing but violence, by chance, I stumbled upon this place. A single rose. A respectful kneel. A moment of silence. The audio diary blinked and taunted me, but I ignored it for now... just... Had to give it a minute to sink in...
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy you beautiful man, thank you so much for voicing batman for a long time my childhood hero, you will always be the dark knight for me and I'm going to miss you 💔😭
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy... You will always and forever be the dark knight himself. Thank you, for everything you taught me. Thank you for the years of happiness you gave me as a child.
Here after what they did with Batman Arkham and their legacy in suicide squad. Rest in peace Batman Arkham and rest in peace Kevin Conroy, thank you for making our childhood better and for giving us such an amazing games.
Batman: Arkham City is one of my favorite games of all time. It reminds me of a simple time in my life when I wasn’t so stressed out and anxious and derepressed. I’ve gotten 100% completion on this game TWICE. I made this game my bitch lol. But anyway, the second time was my final time playing the game. I had flied through every loop, taken down every villain, listened to every tape and completed every mission. Then, as my final act, I landed in front of the movie theater and slowly walked to Crime Alley. When I got there, I payed my respects and as the camera panned around Batman kneeling on the ground with his hand to the pavement and this song playing, all of the wonderful memories this game brought me. When the music ended and Batman stood up, I took the disc out of my console and put it in the box with a tear falling off my face and hitting it. Goodbye, Arkham City. You will always hold a special place in my heart.
The music that will now play for Kevin Conroy as we remember him for his incredible talent, he shall forever be the voice of the Dark Knight in our hearts. Rest in Peace, Kevin Conroy
Rest In Peace Kevin. My dad introduced me to Batman TAS when I was 4 and was my first time hearing your pitch-perfect Batman voice. I would grow to be a massive fan of your work. With you gone, Batman is dead too. We love you bro. Rest easy now.
Thank you Kevin Conroy for making my child hood anything but disappointing Batman had a huge impact on my life the way he lost his parents I lost mine and it showed that he turned that anger and hate into a promise to make a better place RIP🦇
Rest In Peace Kevin Conroy. My pain of his passing will never go away. There is no actor that can take his place as his successor because I’m sure there isn’t an actor that can do the voice that sounds exactly like Kevin or do that phenomenal award winning performance like he did many times. My pain is too much. Forever My Batman
You know, this song is what defines true sadness. Not what you woukd expect, but it is truly beautiful. This song gives a vibe of "You can go through anything". Like for me, this song is what defines true strength. This song is an example. For those of you who are going through rough times, just remember that happiness doesn't last forever. Remember this, "You can't have a rainbow witout a little bit of rain". To those who are suffering right now, I believe in you all. I know you guys are strong. I believe in you guys. I really do wish the best in life for all of you. =')
It’s officially been one year today since we lost our Dark Knight. No matter what, Kevin Conroy will always be Batman for me, and for so many other people. It really hurts that I’m writing this because although I never knew the man, he made such a huge impact on mine and so many other people’s lives. Rest in peace, Batman, we miss you.
Seeing a lot of the comments, I think we can all relate to this theme. Not just Batman losing his parents, Spider-Man letting the guy that killed Uncle Ben get away when he could've stopped it, Superman losing his family and his world before he even knew what it was, etc. But everything. This is a theme to contemplate what he we have lost, but also what we can gain learning from all of our defeats.
*3 years. 'Arkham City' came out in 2011. 'Advanced Warfare' came out in 2014. Secondly, 'Arkham City' didn't use this to force players to get emotionally involved. And thus, it didn't come off as comical.
+Technimaster It's great that you enjoyed it, really! Because while I don't find it as fun as City (even though I haven't finished City) it still means that you can see the good things better than me :)
Arkham Knight ruined it by having Joker fight there, this moment is meant to Bruce's final goodbye before confronting Scarecrow but instead it was just another fight
The Batman BOSS fight should be terrifyingly imposible. {Batman Arkham Knight: Inner demon plays} Like at first it seems like you can take out Batman. You fight him in hand to hand combat him vs all of you. Using hit and run tactics. He throws hits - here and there Like wise “damage” to him ( He’s “life bar” drains slowly) But when he’s life bar hits zero He says “Times up” and you realize it was his patience. A cut seen comes up and everyone is beaten up. THEN red lights going on and off, He starts picking off the suicide squad one by one. Capturing each Squad member to make them scream in the background. As you try to run through the maze of the building. In the dark Losing members one by one. Then Harley is left The player looks around nervously… Then the last scream stops. A cut scene plays (Assuming this is Arkham Batman or a variant of Arkham Batman. ) After Arkham Harley bonded with the Squad she screams “You took everything from me. Just finish it.” Then black screen… Song finishes ------------- Three pathways 1 Then it shows the members waking up Harley in a separate room each with medical treatment. And Harley ask “What Happened” “Turns out Batman, wasn’t under control.” And Batman’s here to help. Harley makes her peace with Batman. After all those years (unlikely Batman looks demented under control like he’s been waiting to break his one rule 🫣) ------------- Path 2 (After The black screen ) Harley wakes up in a strange facility in the alien machine. (Most likely came up with the idea after they defeated Superman.) Turns out Brainiac saw the S.Squad abilities and wishes to control them. And has already converted 3/4 team mates (The developers can let the player choose their main for this next part ….. but I’d advise them for story purposes to choose Harley since Long story short: •Harley escapes •And figures out how everyone is being controlled with the help of Lex Luther •She finds the antidote or machine to free everyone’s mind presumably from “Nanotechnology” •She fights her friends and cures them one on one. A timer is on and Batman is on his way Which ever member is “cured” helps you fight Batman with some alien tech or something Or perhaps a cut scene where they hold him down. They administer the “cure” and give Batman the cure to cure the other Super Hero’s (this is assuming that their is a choice to bring them in alive and hold them prisoner. Meanwhile they stay back and fight brainiac and his machines. And the place self-destructs Then s.squad back to base and they are hero’s And Harley makes her peace with Batman. ( Kid friendly ending - but the title suggests that this is unlikely, : this path is assuming developers make a choice to bring them alive ( harder but possible) ----------------------- Path 3 (3 Endings) There is a cut scene (Harleys experience with Batman gives her an idea -or from a flash back of advise from “Mr.J”) where Harley uses herself as bait and As soon as Batman grabs Harley. She drops a flash bang/ or more preferable from desperation rams it in his face. Batman’s night vision betrays his eyes. (You can train everything except the eyes- to an extent) She Throws a Semtex or mini C-4 stuck to Batman’s chest and he feels it but can’t get it off. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, And then Path 3.1 ending Harley jumps away and “BANG” The smoke clears Harley walks over to Batman Armor intact. Face missing. “This one’s for you Mr. J” Harley has her peace. Game continues. Turns out teammates are captured to be “converted” Game continues. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Path 3.2 Batman takes of the bomb and throws it up (because he is blind) The smoke clears and he is on the ground From outside of the cut scene Harley steps in suddenly and knocks him out with old reliable. And takes him into custody unconsciously. It isn’t until the end of the game he examples what happened of the death of Joker. Harley makes her peace. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Path 3.3 (Memorial) Harley jumps away and “BANG” The smoke clears Harley walks over to Batman He is coughing up blood from shrapnel. And somehow he isn’t under control anymore. (The pain and his training is helping him overcome the mind control. ) Barely holding on He tells her, “There isn’t much time, I’ve rigged the place to blow with a timer that will start when my heartbeat slows down and conclude on my death” •Then Batman tells her where her teammates are and Explains brainiac wanted to control them. •He gives her a mini tablet with where brainiac is And how to defeat him. And a video on the night of Joker’s death. To Harley’s surprise she takes it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Then This Song starts to play and continues until the black out screen below : Batman: Arkham City (OST) - Fateful Knight ("Pay Your Respects" Theme) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Harley brings Batman with her in a nearby vehicle and collects her teammates. They ask what happened and she screams she’ll explain later and for them to drive out of the facility. The place starts to blow!!! Explosions and bright light go off. Batman gives her earphones and the explosions are muffled. And he gives her the tablet with the video feed from Batman’s suit on the night of Jokers death. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The song “Pay Your Respects" Theme continues to play but not over the audio of the following . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (The camera moves in From the front view of the vehicle You can see everyone else freaking out. Pointing at things to the driver to look out. In the backseat Harley is staring at the blue light screen The camera is now in wide in view of Harley and Batman seated at the barn the Camera slowly moves closer to Harley’s face as she looks into the bright screen {We don’t see what she sees but we see her holding the phones back side to us, and her facial expressions. Then we hear familiar sounds from the final act. From “Arkham City”} (The place is still blowing up and bright lights come through the window onto Harley face. You can hear the muffled sound of explosions and and her teammates yelling but not much . ) Then This audio played Batman voice: “Do you want to Know something funny, Even after everything you’ve done I would of saved you.” Joker Laughs “That’s actually pretty funny” Harley sees Mr. J have his last laugh thanks to Batman. Still zoomed in on the tablet and her face; We see, Harley let out a tear and a smile. The camera blinks when she blinks, And the camera is now in Batman’s point of view. Harley looks at us and kisses our chick. {We begin to hear our heartbeat slow down.} With tears and a smile still on her face. Harley thanks Batman (us) for Everything. Harley makes her peace with Batman. And our eyes begin to shut. {The music gets softer then it stops} Batman passes away. And final grand explosion 💥 Blacked out screen + True Silence Then the words …. R.I.P Kevin Conroy Game continues with final chapter Video of the squad heading to the final battle With determination on their face to defeat Brainiac Batman Arkham knight Inner Demon plays remixed with the S.Squad music.
This song is perfect summary for Batman's life and what he's been through: His parents died at a young age, trained for countless years how to fight, nearly has his best friend killed by bane, his entire life tormented by the Joker, His love murdered by the Joker, Forced to endure his worst enemy after his death, tormented and manipulated by joker, sees visions of Nightwing and Robin getting murdered by his hands, his friend abandoning him, visions of Barbra killing herself, tormented and manipulated into the mind of a killer, being forced to unmask himself to save Gotham, faking his death, then being brainwashed and controlled, being forced to break his own code and kill civilians, even killing Robin, Nightwing, Potentially Catwoman, Barbra, and potentially Alfred, just for his life to be ended being shot by his Worst enemy's sidekick...
Man I still can’t believe Conroy is really gone, he himself felt like a superhero it felt like he was gonna live forever and now he’s not. Rest in peace you true legend it means so much that you brought my childhood hero to life throughout various films and games you weren’t just the best Batman you were THE Batman. Thank you Kevin. 🖤

Good line and a good prequel for the Arkham franchise, I don't care what everyone says about it. 🖤🦇🃏🐈⬛🎮🖤
Revisiting this after that insanely disrespectful scene in KTJL just feels different
Today...every Batman fan out there I am sure are listening to this theme right now. Those who do not know...Kevin Conroy has passed away on November 10th, 2022, at the age of 66. May this theme pay true tribute to him and his 30 years of being the voice of Batman. Forever and ever, he will always be...." I am Vengeance, I am the Night! I AM BATMAN!!"
He's up there protecting Heaven from crime just like how he did in Gotham... Thank you, Mr. Conroy.

This game was ahead of its time.
This line! Chef’s kiss
yes it truly was I like this
really, it truly was I agree.👍👍👍👍✌
Wow
This is downright devastating. I can't believe that the person who made my childhood better with the Arkham games, and who made so many people's childhoods and lives better with TAS, JL and these games, is now gone.
Thank you, Kevin... for everything. Rest in peace.
Don’t feel too sad. He lived a long and very fulfilling life. He touched the lives, minds, hearts & souls of millions of people! He help so many find a way to keep going through their darkest hours & may never know the true impact he had on the world.
Sometimes, I just go to Crime Alley and stay for 5 minutes just to feel the sadness given by the music
There is no hope in Crime Alley
wizbee B. Actually 4 if you counted the shooter... but I get what you mean
wizbee B. Oh... well I haven't played all of arkham city yet so you stumped me! 😂
wizbee B. It's cool. I've "finished" Arkham Knight (just haven't gotten the riddles and the knightfall protocol) so there wasn't anything to spoil

Rest in Peace, Kevin Conroy. A true legend died today, the likes of which we'll never see again.

This is too perfect of a song for the best dark knight voice. Rest in peace Kevin Conroy; the definitive batman.
Anyone come back to listen to this to pay respects to Kevin Conroy. He will forever be missed
On this day...Kevin Conroy, our voice for the Caped Crusader, the Dark Knight, has passed away. As Batman kneel'd to show respect for his parents, we should do the same for him. Forever our Batman, may your soul rest in peace, Kevin Conroy.
Imagine this. You know full well how Batman came to be. The murder of his parents when he was at a young age. It was an event that continues to haunt him to this very day. And you return to the very place where he last saw his parents.

I think you mean Hugo strange dr strange is marvel lol
@@Alpha_Gaming015 Hugo Strange is doctor too
when u said doctor strange i was like huh but then i realized technically hugo is a doctor
Doctor strange? Man not only he messed up Spider-Man’s life but Batman too.
Rest In Peace to the definitive voice of Batman Kevin Conroy thank you for making our childhoods great Kevin we’ll deeply miss you
RIP Kevin Conroy. Never will there be another Dark Knight like his
Rest in Peace, Arkhamverse. You were not just good superhero games but the very best.

Arkham city was actually the emotional, of all arkham games.
Arkham knight topped it.
Cliche? Mind explaining? And a emotional roller coaster, please. With Jason Todd death in the death of the family references, the killing joke references, joker taunting you through out the game, the moment in ace chemicals "goodbye Alfred". The only things that got me emotional was this music right here(which was done in a darker way in arkham knight) and jokers death.
Also not to mention spoilers below
Oracle dying
Oracle didnt die.
Emotional at the moment that we believed she was dead.
Godspeed Kevin Conroy! Today we pay respects to the greatest Batman ever! Thank you for the memories sir!
Rest in peace, Kevin Conroy💔 thank you for everything.

As I traversed the crime infested prison city, bogged down with turf wars and people craving nothing but violence, by chance, I stumbled upon this place.

Rest In Peace Kevin Conroy. My pain of his passing will never go away. There is no actor that can take his place as his successor because I’m sure there isn’t an actor that can do the voice that sounds exactly like Kevin or do that phenomenal award winning performance like he did many times. My pain is too much.
Forever My Batman
Everyone came back to this piece after he passed. You were the goat Kevin. 🦇🦇🦇
My father always said…
“Life isn’t fun without a struggle in it, but some struggles lead to tragic endings.”
this is my favorite theme in all of the arkham series who agrees
John Kenock Me! Me! Me!
yep
Played Asylum and I'm currently on City. I 100% agree with this!
Nope....its "You should have listened to my warning"
Farewell Kevin. Farewell Batman.
Rest in peace, legend.
Rest well, Kevin Conroy. You were my favorite Batman.
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy
Rest in peace, Arleen Sorkin. You and Kevin are together again. We will never forget the work you did as Harley Quinn. 😢

Shit, just...thank you so much for this man
Though this comes far too late. I still wish to say thank for those words. I teared up a little reading them.
It’s officially been one year today since we lost our Dark Knight. No matter what, Kevin Conroy will always be Batman for me, and for so many other people.

R.I.P. Arleen Sorkin, the original voice of Harley Quinn (1955-2023)
this song remind me of my died parents . rest in peace mum and dad
justin brown 😢
Damn I Am Sorry To Hear That
you are lying your parents are living and you are a kid
I feel you man, mine died on Valentine's day
justin brown did your parents really died?
Seeing a lot of the comments, I think we can all relate to this theme. Not just Batman losing his parents, Spider-Man letting the guy that killed Uncle Ben get away when he could've stopped it, Superman losing his family and his world before he even knew what it was, etc. But everything. This is a theme to contemplate what he we have lost, but also what we can gain learning from all of our defeats.
You made a point, Max and don't forget Frank Castle and how his family died
Like Thomas Wayne said to Bruce: "Why do we fall?"
@@cmiller0987And Alfred also said to Bruce: "So we can learn to pick ourselves up."
"Nothing is worse than losing one of the family, knowing full well you have no one to blame but *yourself* ."

Fly high, Dark Knight 🦇
What a legend. Kevin Conroy will always be the best voice actor for the Batman. Forever and always. He is the GOAT. May he rest in peace. 🙏🏻❤️
“You are a truly extraordinary specimen. I look forward to breaking you.” -Strange
R.I.P Kevin Conroy.
He was vengeance.
He was the night.
He was... Batman.
Rest in Peace. Mr. Conroy.
"Press X to Pay your Respects"
Arkham City did it 4 years before Call of Duty made it cool...😆
*3 years. 'Arkham City' came out in 2011. 'Advanced Warfare' came out in 2014.
Secondly, 'Arkham City' didn't use this to force players to get emotionally involved. And thus, it didn't come off as comical.
@@tombrearley-smith5777 Or you could've *laughed* instead of deciphering it like Batman.

Call of Duty never made it cool. It made it a bad meme.
The Virgin “press F to pay respects vs the Chad “X Pay Your Respects”
Paying my respects to Kevin Conroy. The one and only.
"A moment of remembrance". Arkham Knight had no moments like this. City had some of the best music and storyline in the arkham series hands down.
RadioactiveMooMoo you have a good point
+Technimaster It's great that you enjoyed it, really! Because while I don't find it as fun as City (even though I haven't finished City) it still means that you can see the good things better than me :)
Same. This truly was my favorite of the 4. Because of this part, and especially that amazing plot twist
Yeah it’s musics like this and the museum theme and the storyline that makes this game so special
Arkham Knight ruined it by having Joker fight there, this moment is meant to Bruce's final goodbye before confronting Scarecrow but instead it was just another fight
This music hits different now 😢
The Batman BOSS fight should be terrifyingly imposible.
{Batman Arkham Knight: Inner demon plays}
Like at first it seems like you can take out Batman.
You fight him in hand to hand combat him vs all of you. Using hit and run tactics.
He throws hits - here and there
Like wise “damage” to him
( He’s “life bar” drains slowly)
But when he’s life bar hits zero
He says “Times up”
and you realize it was his patience.
A cut seen comes up and everyone is beaten up.
THEN red lights going on and off,
He starts picking off the suicide squad one by one. Capturing each Squad member to make them scream in the background.
As you try to run through the maze of the building.
In the dark
Losing members one by one.
Then Harley is left
The player looks around nervously…
Then the last scream stops.
A cut scene plays
(Assuming this is Arkham Batman or a variant of Arkham Batman. )
After Arkham Harley bonded with the Squad she screams
“You took everything from me. Just finish it.”
Then black screen…
Song finishes
-------------
Three pathways
1
Then it shows the members waking up Harley in a separate room each with medical treatment.
And Harley ask “What Happened”
“Turns out Batman, wasn’t under control.”
And Batman’s here to help.
Harley makes her peace with Batman. After all those years
(unlikely Batman looks demented under control like he’s been waiting to break his one rule 🫣)
-------------
Path 2 (After The black screen )
Harley wakes up in a strange facility in the alien machine.
(Most likely came up with the idea after they defeated Superman.)
Turns out Brainiac saw the S.Squad abilities and wishes to control them.
And has already converted 3/4 team mates
(The developers can let the player choose their main for this next part ….. but I’d advise them for story purposes to choose Harley since
Long story short:
•Harley escapes
•And figures out how everyone is being controlled with the help of Lex Luther
•She finds the antidote or machine to free everyone’s mind presumably from “Nanotechnology”
•She fights her friends and cures them one on one.
A timer is on and Batman is on his way
Which ever member is “cured” helps you fight Batman with some alien tech or something
Or perhaps a cut scene where they hold him down.
They administer the “cure” and give Batman the cure to cure the other Super Hero’s (this is assuming that their is a choice to bring them in alive and hold them prisoner.
Meanwhile they stay back and fight brainiac and his machines.
And the place self-destructs
Then s.squad back to base and they are hero’s
And Harley makes her peace with Batman.
( Kid friendly ending - but the title suggests that this is unlikely, : this path is assuming developers make a choice to bring them alive ( harder but possible)
-----------------------
Path 3 (3 Endings)
There is a cut scene
(Harleys experience with Batman gives her an idea -or from a flash back of advise from “Mr.J”)
where Harley uses herself as bait
and As soon as Batman grabs Harley.
She drops a flash bang/ or more preferable from desperation rams it in his face.
Batman’s night vision betrays his eyes.
(You can train everything except the eyes- to an extent)
She Throws a Semtex or mini C-4
stuck to Batman’s chest
and he feels it but can’t get it off.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
And then
Path 3.1 ending
Harley jumps away and “BANG”
The smoke clears
Harley walks over to Batman
Armor intact.
Face missing.
“This one’s for you Mr. J”
Harley has her peace.
Game continues.
Turns out teammates are captured to be “converted”
Game continues.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Path 3.2
Batman takes of the bomb and throws it up (because he is blind)
The smoke clears and he is on the ground
From outside of the cut scene
Harley steps in suddenly and knocks him out with old reliable.
And takes him into custody unconsciously.
It isn’t until the end of the game he examples what happened of the death of Joker.
Harley makes her peace.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Path 3.3 (Memorial)
Harley jumps away and “BANG”
The smoke clears
Harley walks over to Batman
He is coughing up blood from shrapnel.
And somehow he isn’t under control anymore. (The pain and his training is helping him overcome the mind control. )
Barely holding on
He tells her,
“There isn’t much time, I’ve rigged the place to blow with a timer that will start when my heartbeat slows down and conclude on my death”
•Then Batman tells her where her teammates are and Explains brainiac wanted to control them.
•He gives her a mini tablet with where brainiac is
And how to defeat him.
And a video on the night of Joker’s death.
To Harley’s surprise she takes it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Then This Song starts to play and continues until the black out screen below :
Batman: Arkham City (OST) - Fateful Knight
("Pay Your Respects" Theme)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harley brings Batman with her in a nearby vehicle and collects her teammates. They ask what happened
and she screams she’ll explain later
and for them to drive out of the facility.
The place starts to blow!!!
Explosions and bright light go off.
Batman gives her earphones and the explosions are muffled.
And he gives her the tablet with the video feed from Batman’s suit on the night of Jokers death.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The song “Pay Your Respects" Theme continues to play but not over the audio of the following .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(The camera moves in From the front view of the vehicle
You can see everyone else freaking out.
Pointing at things to the driver to look out.
In the backseat Harley is staring at the blue light screen
The camera is now in wide in view of Harley and Batman seated at the barn
the Camera slowly moves closer to Harley’s face as she looks into the bright screen
{We don’t see what she sees but we see her holding the phones back side to us, and her facial expressions.
Then we hear familiar sounds from the final act. From “Arkham City”}
(The place is still blowing up and bright lights come through the window onto Harley face. You can hear the muffled sound of explosions and and her teammates yelling but not much . )
Then This audio played
Batman voice: “Do you want to Know something funny, Even after everything you’ve done I would of saved you.”
Joker Laughs “That’s actually pretty funny”
Harley sees Mr. J have his last laugh thanks to Batman.
Still zoomed in on the tablet and her face; We see, Harley let out a tear and a smile.
The camera blinks when she blinks,
And the camera is now in Batman’s point of view.
Harley looks at us and kisses our chick.
{We begin to hear our heartbeat slow down.}
With tears and a smile still on her face.
Harley thanks Batman (us) for Everything.
Harley makes her peace with Batman.
And our eyes begin to shut.
{The music gets softer then it stops}
Batman passes away.
And final grand explosion 💥
Blacked out screen + True Silence
Then the words …. R.I.P Kevin Conroy
Game continues with final chapter
Video of the squad heading to the final battle
With determination on their face to defeat Brainiac
Batman Arkham knight Inner Demon plays remixed with the S.Squad music.
I hope that both Kevin Conroy and Arleen Sorkin are resting peacefully together. I will forever miss them both...❤
This song is perfect summary for Batman's life and what he's been through: His parents died at a young age, trained for countless years how to fight, nearly has his best friend killed by bane, his entire life tormented by the Joker, His love murdered by the Joker, Forced to endure his worst enemy after his death, tormented and manipulated by joker, sees visions of Nightwing and Robin getting murdered by his hands, his friend abandoning him, visions of Barbra killing herself, tormented and manipulated into the mind of a killer, being forced to unmask himself to save Gotham, faking his death, then being brainwashed and controlled, being forced to break his own code and kill civilians, even killing Robin, Nightwing, Potentially Catwoman, Barbra, and potentially Alfred, just for his life to be ended being shot by his Worst enemy's sidekick...
Rest in peace you were for me the real batman
“I am vengeance.
I AM THE NIGHT!
I. AM. BATMAN!”
R.I.P Kevin conroy
