The ULTIMATE Batman Arkham Knight Rewrite! (PART 1)

  • Batman Arkham Knight could have easily been the greatest Batman game ever made had Rocksteady ironed out their story beyond the first draft. So many elements of the story made zero sense and in all, for me, it just kinda sucked. My goal with this rewrite that separates it from my previous one is that I am attempting to make a brand new story that feels like a true finale to the Arkham franchise by carrying on the story of the previous two games, while also adding more lore to the overall narrative. One of my biggest problems with Arkham Knight is that, except for a couple references to Arkham City and a cutscene taking place in the Asylum, it really doesn't feel like an Arkham game narratively because it doesn't tie anything in from the previous games. So for this rewrite, I wanted to use most of the characters in the original game, but make them feel like themselves and actually flesh out their personalities unlike than the original game did. So, I hope that you all enjoy what I've presented for the first part of this rewrite!

    There's a lot I like in here. Having the first thing the player does as batman be tracking penguin's truck across Gotham would be a great way to set the scene for the rest of the game as well as get the player used to the controls. I do feel it jumps from place to place a bit, and has a larger focus on the robins than on batman, but if that's what you're going for I won't fault you. great work man :)

    After watching some of these Arkham Knights rewrites, I'm beginning to realize that a lot of the egregious flaws in the original story come from the limitation of having to always stay in Batman's POV, which is hard to get around in a nominally open world game. Almost every rewrite on youtube, even the ones that try to keep almost every element of the original, require shifts between Batman and Tim Robin.

    • @TheRewriter
      @TheRewriter  3 года назад +13

      Yeah, that’s definitely true. I also wanted Robin to take more of a role in the story because of how badly he (and the rest of the Batfamily really) was treated in the original game.

      Mind you, I don't think it's a very valid excuse considering the Catwoman stuff in Arkham City pulled POV switches off perfectly. But I would be interested in someone's rewrite that keeps this original constraint in mind like the writers forced themselves to.

      That is honestly what I was expecting when I saw those AK trailers when they shown Tim and Dick fighting along side Batman, and when I finally got the game and only played as the Robins for a short amount of time, I felt lied to by Rocksteady.

    • @themadtitan7603
      @themadtitan7603 Год назад

      ​ @dillonkarren5575 That would be interesting, I agree. However, I think these rewrites that pull focus to other perspectives are what would've made for the ideal story. While I think these games were mainly constrained by limitation of storytelling in gaming and the devs' priorities at the time, the gameplay, not their open-world nature.
      Rocksteady wrote stories around the gameplay foremost, specifically a gameplay loop that would ensure the players we're always empowered as Batman. Which is why we rarely got any deeper character exploration or quieter moments where Bruce is in the Batcave, or saw the POV of the Batfamily or the villains.
      Had these games come out today (mid 2010s-today) an era where game stories got more sophisticated and there's a better balance between giving us great gameplay with a fully fleshed out story, I imagine this is the Arkham Knight and series we would've gotten. One not constrained by having to only be a kickass Batman experience but also with giving us a fully developed Gotham and Batfamily.

    So you're using the original Paul Dini idea of having Hush be one of the big bads. I think you should include Calendar Man too, considering how important he was to AC.
    Also, I think a nice to convert your bank mission idea from cutscene to gameplay would be to have it be a dual stealth section, but make Robin much weaker than Batman. There's two phases, in the first phase you're Robin, and Batman will throw a batarang at any thug that spots you, then after Batman's knocked out, you have to fight without the safety wheels.

    • @JdeMolay
      @JdeMolay 3 года назад +5

      Where did you hear that Paul Dini wanted to use Hush for Arkham Knight? I only ask because when I asked Dini on Twitter where he would have taken the story for Arkham Knight, he said he hadn't given it any thought because he was never asked to come back.

    • @themadtitan7603
      @themadtitan7603 2 года назад +6

      ​@@JdeMolay Exactly. I've seen people say Paul Dini's idea was to have Hush be the main villain. But there's no source on where he ever said that. In an old interview, he explained why he never returned and said that WB didn't want to freelance writers anymore and they suggested he works on other projects.

    • @DerrickUltima
      @DerrickUltima Год назад +2

      Hush was never intended to be one of the big bads of the game. I swear, I don't know why people spout fan theories as if they were fact.
      Hush was an entirely optional, small side quest in Arkham City. It was never intended to be anything beyond that. The way that they resolved it in Arkham Knight was fine enough.

    • @themadtitan7603
      @themadtitan7603 Год назад

      ​@@DerrickUltima We don't know if Hush was intended to be a main antagonist or not because we don't know what Paul Dini had planned next and he never returned.
      And I disagree about the way Hush's story was handled in Knight. Even if it was only meant to be a smaller story in the next game, Hush could've at least gotten a whole side mission arc about an impersonator of Bruce Wayne who's ruining his image.

    This released on my birthday which was epic. :))
    I feel like I'm back in City again rather than the modernized streets of Gotham in the original.
    I originally thought keeping Jason as the Arkham Knight was a let down but I soon grew to love it. Getting the reveal out of the way quickly rather than setting up a mystery was a nice touch. The way you changed Jason's character from a winey teenager with daddy issues who wants to be batman's nemeses to an actual threat was incredibly satisfying.
    changing his motivation to being batman's successor and to bring real change in Gotham which he has become post joker death.
    In the comic White Knight we figure out what Batman really means in it's universe; false hope. This does not mean I disagree in the ideology of batman's motif in other continuity this comic was a major exception. Jason's perspective in this rewrite can actually empathize with and to some extent has a point.
    I like the inclusion of the bat family but I am afraid it will become overflow as this series goes on. We need a reason for the flashbacks so I get why he isn't exactly present here. I feel immersed with the pacing you set up; by putting twists and turns and new concepts left and right it makes the city chaotic, as well as it's slow moments.
    The inclusion of hush served justice for the buildup in Arkham City I am impressed.
    Personally I would love to see the villains being cut loose to reek havoc as a team up unanimously without a man pulling all the strings. Thisobstacle was another plot-point in White Knight. the purpose of this was to get under batman's skin by making all the villains team up. They can actually have a chance at beating batman when they fight side by side. I couldn't be more excited for this series to continue; I have been horni for this kind of retelling and I would kill for a chance to work on the project with you.

      For this rewrite, I wanted to stick with all the characters that were in the game originally, which Black Mask wasn’t. It’s also intended as an homage to the Under The Red Hood story as they are the two big villains (besides Joker) that are present in it. In terms of him getting sidelined in the Arkham games, I agree, that’s why you should watch my Arkham Origins rewrite. I keep him as the main villain instead of Joker.

    Note: this comment is gonna be a bit long.
    As I look back at your rewrite for Arkham Knight, I thought that it was superb to me. The way you narrated the story, showing the images and having good dialogue was awesome. Although there's a few flaws that I've pointed out like Batman himself getting sidelined at the beginning of the story in favour for bat family members like Nightwing and Robin, it would've been better to have Batman appear in the story more, but you could still have his proteges helping him out. Also, I liked the way you potrayed Jason Todd in your rewrite and I'm glad that he didn't need to rely on the miltia or using tanks and missiles but instead supervillains that cooperated with him at the start. I think it would be cool to give him a redemption arc or something. That's all I have for now, I wish you all the best.

  • @salahdeanclemens2226

    I still think Jason Todd shouldn’t be the main villain since in Arkham city for the Tim drake’s robin biography it skims over Jason Todd being robin which what happen in the comics not to mention Paul Dini wrote both Arkham asylum and Arkham city and I don’t think his plan was to add Jason Todd as the main villain as he wasn’t set up to be the main villain in knight aside from a few quotes from joker in a challenge map. I think his vision was hush and scarecrow teaming up along with plot b being Harley Quinn and her child. For me I would have it hush (not as Arkham knight) instead of Jason Todd as Jason isn’t evil sure he a little insane but still I don’t think it would’ve have work as well still while it being a surprising reveal in your rewrite hush being the main villain works here and having flashbacks to him and Bruce’s childhood would be have more of a impact because the two were friends you could have Thomas being angry that he didn’t his money while Bruce is trying to help him and for him to see what he can do to fix his it. but I think the way rocksteady should’ve have done it is a side mission that has petty criminals being killed by and Batman finding Jason as the red hood and telling him to stop and for him to help but Jason Todd says no and is ready to take crime to his own hands by having these pathetic creatures being killed instead of saved with him getting away at the end and Batman assigning robin to take care of it.

    • @TheRewriter
      @TheRewriter  3 года назад +4

      That’s fair, he wasn’t set up to be the villain. However, I wanted this rewrite to use the characters that were in the original game and make them better. As far as Jason being super evil, if you pay attention to his dialogue, you can see where he’s coming from, so I wouldn’t say that he is purely evil. He sees crime fighting from a different perspective than Bruce sees it, which makes him an antagonist for sure, but not necessarily a true villain like the Joker is. His philosophies encourage conversation among fans like us, which is why I really gravitate towards this character.

      @@TheRewriter Your video was great and makes the marketing come full circle with the villains teaming up expect black mask because WB and rocksteady hate the character for some reason, and yes in his eyes it makes sense who wouldn’t go insane after all he when thought it seems outright justified for Jason to hate Batman but since jokers died by this point I think he would thank Bruce for killing that monster and avenging him at least he thinks he killed him but we know he would’ve save joker no matter what he did, I don’t think Jason should be trying to kill Batman regardless if he got dipped in Ra’s pit I think at first he would be happy that his father killed that heartless monster and than would kill petty criminals low life thugs, crime bosses less known ones not black mask, Maxie Zeus or the Great white shark there fine and then go to Batman to say thanks for killing joker once and for all and then leave only to come back as side mission for robin or a dlc story like battle for the cowl. Also you made so Jason was the one that kill joker not The titan formula which weird because the idea of Batman giving the cure to joker still means he wants to help these poor souls and get there lives back on track I mean you said it’s a rewrite fixing the original story and not so much making a new story altogether. Also one last thing please add Harley Quinn’s child in your rewrite story because in Arkham city you can find a Easter egg of Harley Quinn’s pregnancy test showing positive and a lot people thought that was going to play a role in the next Arkham game but when Paul Dini left rocksteady scrapped it which kinda disappointing me since it was Dini’s plan for the next Arkham game for Harley Quinn and her baby to play a role in it, I always wonder what would Dini had done for it if he stayed on for the story dlc of Arkham city (Harley Quinn’s revenge) and Arkham knight or Arkham 3.

    One thing: If Jason killed Joker by supplying him with Titan formula, there's a bit of a plot hole. Why would he not just shoot him, or use a bomb, or any other way to kill Joker? His plan assumes 1: that Joker will use the titan on himself, and 2: that it will definitely be fatal and a cure will not be administered. It seems overly complicated.

Plus, any hopes of him controlling the streets are dashed because he’s public enemy number 1 as everyone’s hunting him. Working in an unseen fashion allows him to manipulate events without any of this ever happening.

He knew Joker would turn on BM, eliminating that threat, and allowing him the opportunity the best Joker with a crowbar in the same way that it happened to him. In my version, it’s different, but it’s the same idea.

      Yes, Jason infected the Titan formula, meaning anyone who took it is dying unless they had the cure. For your second question, he can be Deacon if you want him to be, but all I wanted was just a cultist looking person, and he fit the bill. For your third question, you’ll have to wait until part 2 for that answer. As far as all those villains, they won’t be in my main story, but they can certainly be side quests.

      The point Jason is making is that by Batman not killing his villains, he’ll never make Gotham truly safe as they just keep coming back out of Arkham and wreaking havoc. Jason is living proof of this as if Batman killed the Joker years before, Jason would never have died. In the 9 months between Arkham City and this story, Gotham is safer than it’s ever been due to Jason killing Joker and controlling crime lords. His motivation is making Gotham safer, but by doing this in ways that are fundamentally opposite to the way Batman operates, showing him that Batman’s way is flawed.

      How is this just like Under The Red Hood? Sure, the intro is similar to pay homage to that story while also linking City and Knight together in a more believable way, but that ends it. The rest of this story is completely different with an actual focus on the Bat-Family and with an entire change to Jason’s plans. In that story, Joker’s alive and Jason seeks to get him out of Arkham so that he can have Batman kill him. In this story, Joker’s already dead, so Jason’s plan is to eradicate crime in Gotham by showing Batman that he has been failing this city the whole time by not killing his villains. Plus, Jason doesn’t manipulate the villains to enact his plans like he does here. This is a pretty major change, but it can’t be too drastic or it’s not even the character anymore. Plus, there’s a whole other main plot going on here that doesn’t exist in that story. Saying that this is exactly like UTRH is disingenuous as there are major differences, but in the end, this is Red Hood’s (or Arkham Knight in this story) origin, certain elements have to be there, it’s the character. And this is only part one, I still have another part that is further proof that this story is different.
