Deathstroke is one of my favorite characters, especially after origins. It makes his treatment all the more painful in this game…and what hurts even more is how cool his design is, and how much he got hyped up
Same! I don’t get what all the buzz is about DeadShot… I swear DC just wants us to forget he exists sometimes while also only bringing him back to get sales but now DeadShot is slowly taking that spot
I think my only change would be to bump Oracle up a tier. While I get she wasn't in much of the game and for a lot of it she was essentially just a plot device Batman was chasing after, the interactions you do get with her at the very beginning are full of personality, the APC crash, to me, perfectly demonstrated how brilliant and resourceful she is, fighting back even while unable to use her legs, and her lines with Bruce post-rescue are great. "We're not fighting for you Bruce, we're fighting with you," and her fighting alongside Batman through hacking the drones and utilizing the building's layout during the GCPD assault come to mind as her proving that she's still a badass even if she isn't in the field anymore.
I loved how Tim Drake wasnt easily defeated and could hold his own in the game. When you go to "rescue him" initially hes clearly holding his own. I do wish in the matter of family DLC we did have Jason and could see how he acted as Robin, brutal and rash. Maybe an older sister vibe from Barbara.
Awesome tier list dude! For Scarecrow, personally, I'd say goated because both he and Batman play the biggest in the series: Fear. With every move he makes, every plan he concocts, all of that was to tear apart the spirit and morality of Batman, not Bruce Wayne. Sad he doesn't have the boss fight like from Arkham Asylum or the Nightmare Challenges. But the dialogues and the way his faction is organized subtly shows he's far more dangerous than even Joker.
Mine are (in Arkham Knignt only and not taking into consideration the other games): S Tier: Batman, Joker, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Alfred. A Tier: Scarecrow, Catwoman, Jim Gordon, Aaron Cash, Jack Ryder, Lucius Fox, Nora Fries, Professor Pyg, Killer Croc, Mad Hatter, Batgirl, Nightwing (loved him but I didn't think he was used very well), Red Hood. B Tier: Two-Face, Simon Stagg, Deathstroke, Azrael, Harley Quinn, Firefly, Oracle, Kirk Langstrom/Man-Bat, Nyssa Raatko, Ra's al Ghul, Arkham Knight. C Tier: Black Mask, Chief Underhill, Deacon Blakfire, Hush, Robin, Francine Langstrom, Vicki Vale, Robin, D Tier: Johny Charisma, Christina Bell, Albert King, Henry Adams.
I'm happy to see that someone else views the Riddler as I do. He's actually my personal favorite villain ever, but I love how this game handles his challenges better than the other games. All the other ones just have all his riddles out from the start. In this game, you get a much better sense of how time passes with each area slowly being warped by his traps. Such a great detail.
Here’s what Slad should have done in his mission as a surprise to the player. After you beat him in the tank and you bring him back to GCPD, the back of the Batmobile opens and he attacks you. You have an Arkham Origins style fight in the lower lockup. That’d be so cool. There’s enough space to do it too where you park the Batmobile at
i'm sure you probably already know this, but Maurice LaMarche is the voice actor who does mr. freeze in the arkham games. you should really look up his voice acting filmography on wikipedia, it's insane
Nah one thing people overlook about Deathstroke in this game is how he takes advantage of the power vacuum left by Arkham Knight. I think that part of him is so cool. Yes his fight sucks, yes he’s easily defeated. But there’s some credit owed for the fact that he assumes the leadership role for the militia. I remember thinking it was so cool when you first hear about a new leader assuming control of the militia and then when you find out it’s Deathstroke. It is A LOT of wasted potential, but still a cool initial concept.
My tier List of all the characters takning into consideration all the games, interview tapes and the Assault on Arkham animated movie: S Tier: Batman, Alfred, Joker, Riddler, Mr. Freeze, Jim Gordon, Catwoman, Bane (mainly because of Origins), Penguin, Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, Poison Ivy. A Tier: Nightwing, Nora Fries, Deadshot, Captain Boomerang, Amanda Waller, Ra's al Ghul, Talia al Ghul, Hugo Strange, Killer Croc, Aaron Cash, Oracle, Batgirl, Deathstroke, Harley Quinn, Firefly, Mr. Zsasz, Professor Pyg, Jack Ryder, Red Hood, Jack Ryder. B Tier: Two-Face (he was used best in the Arkham City interview tapes), Nyssa Raatko, Simon Stagg, Ferris Boyle, Azrael, Harvey Bullock, Man-Bat, Robin, Vicki Vale, Clayface, Solomon Grundy, Lady Shiva, Killer Frost, King Shark, Arkham Knight, Hush, Ricky "Loose Lips" LeBlanc, Howard Branden, Calendar Man, Master Kirigi, Penelope Young. C Tier: Anarky, Black Mask, , Copperhead, Quincy Sharp, Deacon Blackfire, Rick Flag, Bronze Tiger, Chief Underhill, Francine Langstrom, Candy, Tracey Buxton, Cyrus Pinkney, Joe Chill, Alberto Falcone, Carmine Falcone (he was in Arkham Underworld). D Tier: Frank Boles, Warden Josep, Mr. Hammer, Sickle, Commissioner Loeb, Black Spider, Bird.
6:40 The Batman in the suicide squad game shouldn’t be Bruce, it should definitely be Tim Drake, we could assume “Batman” joined the league but Tim acting as his replacement while Bruce is technically gone would be the perfect ending for Tim and we all know taking on Being Batman can make or break any character so by this it would be perfect.
In fact hush bested joker, in canon bested joker two times even with joker create him hearts attacks with a pacemaker, and paul dini knows that, but like shame Arkham Knight IS written for amateurs, the first idea for Knight was perfect, the only villain that beatdown and make cry joker, exiling him of Gotham like main antagonist, the only one that can cover the joker death like something more dangerous that already defeat batman in all aspects even morale (when Tommy try to save poison Ivy Life of bruce manipulation) Paul Dini (hush is an favorite villain of him) give us everything in arkham saga and rocksteady let him in an side
18:46 I think the only other villain we see from beginning to end is Joker. You get to see his killing joke origins in arkham origins, along with his first encounter with Batman. And then ofc, we get to see his end.
You got me good with the ranking joker as just "good". I was about to start writing a comment before you changed it to the correct teir 😂 fantastic video though, love the content
Azreal is supposed to be Bruce’s successor so I don’t know if the side quest does the character Justice but to be recognized as Batman’s successor is a pretty big deal. At least Rock Steady acknowledged that before they gave him the worst side mission of all time
Nah I thought you were cooking until you put Two-Face in great tier. He literally did nothing at all in AK and he is literally a basic thug. By definition, he is a reskinned henchmen. Wasted potential, but for sure he should be in the worst tier.
Tbh I agree with all of this, apart from I'd swap Johnny and Christina over. The reason is because to me Johnny feels more like a dollar store Joker (like someone went "we can't afford Hamil, this guy will do!"), but Christina interested me because the only other female Joker I can think of is Martha in an alternate timeline, and to have her focused on Joker's obsession with Batman almost like she has Stockholm syndrome but at the same time wants to f*** him to death was an interesting take on that part of Joker's mind. I give this a 9.5/10 tier list, and it's a goated tier list in my tier list of tier lists lmao
lol it wasnt supposed to be jason,it was supposed to be tim because this dlc takes part after the events of arkham asulym,where jason was presumed dead who was locked up and kidnapped by joker
i'm so upset that they did deathstroke like that because he is the most bad ass character in the arkhamverse in my opinion, the real slade would have molly wap the floor with batman's face
I agree with you. There's literally no version of Deathstroke who would let Batman live without 20 broken bones. He's way too stronger, faster and better than Batman. Batman just gets the advantage of his cool gadgets.
Hush is more shame dude and he is my favorite villain ever, hush is more stronger that deathstroke, because he lift big trees, throw deadshot like an wall like a feather, and lift batman like a paper. Deathstroke defeat batman 1 time in canon, hush defeat 4 times batman in canon with a massive advantage of strength with the bat, massive, Batman have more loses that wins against hush, that is the real shame, I think rocksteady dont know nothing about hush because his motivation is no money, is freedom, making the rivalry with batman more perfect that joker, paul dini explain really good that in heart of hush
Can I just say, I'm a huge fan and I have watched all ur videos but I just want to say, how can you rate batman and Bruce Wayne as the same rating but not rate arkham knight and Jason Todd as the same rating?
Nah I know deathstroke had a disappointing boss battle but his character was still meh or good cause of the dialogue after you took destroyed one of the militias operations it got you real excited for the disappointing boss battle definitely better than those infected jokers
Personally, biggest thing i would change is Hush He should definitely be dog water. Way worse than Deathstroke imo Both had embarrassing defeats but c'mon, all he wanted to do was steal Bruce Wayne's money
Bro ain't no way you put arkham knight in only the great tier he deserves the goated space as he throughout the game menaced batman by knowing batman's every move
THATS WHAT IM SAYING LIKE THEY REALLY REALLY WASTED SLADE LIKE MY MAN COULD GO ON A 1 ON 1 WITH B-MAN OVER THERE CATCHING HANDS AT THE BRINK OF DEATH YET IN THIS GAME IT WAS A SINGLE 2 PIECE COMBO
He's actually portrayed really well it just sucks that he's not used outside of the Penguin missions (and the Killer Croc mission if you have the DLC). The trailers showed him teaming up with Batman and Robin, and even being in the clock tower, but that stuff never happens.
Nando, can you please post a video on your second channel going through your top 10/15/20/50 superheros or villains. Im so interested in hearing what they would be!
Oracles's fake death was kinda lame but I liked how we got her backstory from The Killing Joke comic. Her relationship with Tim Drake is also pretty well done in Batgirl: A Matter of Family DLC and Robin: A Flip of a Coin.
I agree with everything except Firefly, i feel like all his missions were really repetitive but in an non interesting type of way compared to other side missions, he didn't have much of a story in Arkham Night either, woulda put him in Good or Meh tier tbh
that Slade boss fight will never not hurt tbh
great video tho bruv frfr

ngl you got me good with that Joker ranking, I was so confused for a sec😂
Perfect ranking though, I agree with pretty much everything💯
Play Arkham Jeopardy with us!
@@GothamPaladin I'm 100% down! :)
Same
I was at least gonna say put him in great tier as a bare minimum
Knerds here
“However Martha is hot so we will put them in goated tier”💀💀
I immediately went to the comment section after I heard it🤣
Babe, wake up. Gotham Paladin posted.
True...
this never been funny. how about you just wake your "babe" up instead of commenting here
You see a little of Harley's human element. In her DLC, she speaks to her Harleen self if you stay in Psychosis Mode for too long.
That's what I thought!😂

Kudos to Troy Baker for being Two Face. Such an underrated performance compared to his other work.
Two Face, and Arkham Knight/Jason Todd!
Arkham Batman is the best version of Batman imo🦇🦇🦇
but BTAS Batman is also good
@@Mr.Sprite_True too Arkham Batman was inspired by BTAS Batman
I mean, BTAS is better. This Batman is way too overpowered and he doesn’t have as much personality as other versions of Batman
@@Mr.Sprite_ tied imo

Arkham Knight had one of most badass voices because of his visor like Optimus prime and Batman
"Black Mask didn't really do much in this game except die" that got me
I like the subtitles it’s a cool addition
I'm glad you like them, adds so many extra hours to put them in ahaha
5:54 “red hood acts like in the manga” I know it’s a typo, but that shit is crazy ☠️☠️
Awesome vids keep making them
i'm sure you probably already know this, but Maurice LaMarche is the voice actor who does mr. freeze in the arkham games. you should really look up his voice acting filmography on wikipedia, it's insane

Hush above Deathstroke is wild.
Literally got the platinum yesterday and now my feed is only Arkham knight vids 😭
hush could’ve been such a great character but they really did him dirty
Thug: S tier
No matter which faction they belong to they’re always hilarious
It’s not Gotham Paladin it’s Goated Paladin 🐐
am i the only one who finds it scary and amazing how arkham knight still holds up in 2024 gameplay and graphics wise??
6:48 YOURE TELLING ME WE WERE SUPPOSED TO PLAY AS JASON?!?!?
And you do in the DLC
@@White_Knight_Real I know that him as red hood but him as Robin I didn’t know
10:52 BRO I WAS ABOUT TO SAY BRO 😂😂😂😂
6:40

definetly
Hush was supposed to be the second main villain until new writers got brought on, Which is very disappointing because of his setup in City.
In fact hush bested joker, in canon bested joker two times even with joker create him hearts attacks with a pacemaker, and paul dini knows that, but like shame Arkham Knight IS written for amateurs, the first idea for Knight was perfect, the only villain that beatdown and make cry joker, exiling him of Gotham like main antagonist, the only one that can cover the joker death like something more dangerous that already defeat batman in all aspects even morale (when Tommy try to save poison Ivy Life of bruce manipulation)
Paul Dini (hush is an favorite villain of him) give us everything in arkham saga and rocksteady let him in an side
Arkham Catwoman for me is the pinnacle of Catwoman, the definitive version of this character as she is everything past version have been and more
Good video you should make one for origins asylum and city
I was about to riot at Joker's ranking
FINALLY! Someone else who likes Nightwing in this game.
18:46 I think the only other villain we see from beginning to end is Joker. You get to see his killing joke origins in arkham origins, along with his first encounter with Batman. And then ofc, we get to see his end.
Loved this, could you do origins next?
15:24 too faced😭
I really hope when he said chills wasnt pun intended 😂
Aaron cash should be goated imo
Nice intro animation
Can u do orgins next?
You got me good with the ranking joker as just "good". I was about to start writing a comment before you changed it to the correct teir 😂 fantastic video though, love the content

Both had embarrassing defeats but c'mon, all he wanted to do was steal Bruce Wayne's money
Do this for Arkham city
Freeze is so goted
Calendar Man is probably a meh tier character but i feel like he deserves a mention

Where is the damn Arkham city ranking
No adam sandler?
I love you
smash.
dog water “ 😊😅😊😅😅😊😅😊
catwoman ain't goated she gyatted.
You're delusional if you think two face isn't dog water in this game. He robs 3 banks and can be defeated by disabling the escalator. What a joke.
disagree with bruce/batman, he has no personality in the game and hes a brick wall
E

you put simon stagg and scarecrow in the same rank based of off only this game...
Yeah Firefly was pretty goofy, especially after I caught him for the final time under the road so he and Batman flew up into the ceiling and…
Arkham city character ranking
Scared me with the joker part
I would swap catwoman and cash. Cash is the best especially his dialogue in catwomans revenge
