@@undefeatedskull Lol- in my version the last 2 Azrael challenges glitched out so the AI didn't even react to Azrael's presence. Was able to defeat them with Fear and Knockout Takedowns. "Hardest one yet", my ass.

To be fair comics Azrael especially the Jean-Paul Valley version is also a pretty good detective etc. The thing that has always kept him a C-lister in the Batfamily is his psyche. Same issue Lane has. If not for that huge flaw he'd be an epic Batman.
First time I learned of Azreal was back in the early 90's when Bane broke Batman's back. Azreal took up the mantle of Batman for a time and made a completely new Batman suit of armor and started running around Gotham and going crazy on the criminals. Batman recovered and took him down.
I feel like Arkham Knight is realistic but Gotham Knights takes a more comic accurate approach, Gotham Knights can be cringy at times but it gives that "youthful hero" vibes, it feels more like insomiac spiderman than like the Arkham games

the thing is that he shouldn't be just like batman himself... Azrael should be incorruptible but he should kill whereas batman will go batshit insane if he would kill because he's just as insane as the ppl he fights
Azrael is honestly a good person to considered to take up the mantle of the Bat if he chose to oppose the Order of Saint Dumas. I imagine that after he has separated himself from the Order and came back to find that Bruce had enacted the Knightfall Protocol. Once he discovere that Batman is "dead", he vows to uphold the mantle of Gotham's protector. He would have to earn the trust of all of Batman's allies but once he proves himself to the others, they would finally begin to slowly trust Azrael. Once KTJL comes out, I feel that Azrael wouldn't want to leave Gotham unprotected because he believes that Batman would tell Azrael to focus on Gotham's safety instead of get involved with the Justice League's Braniac issue. When he learns that Batman is alive, he would probably still choose to stay in Gotham instead of travel to Metropolis to help fight Braniac. Hopefully the Canon ending is that Azrael fights the Order's programming and realizes that he's only doing their dirty work
@Quiet Place4 u need 1 cause I lack comprehension.... How does he get a live feed from a scan of someone brain.. he did the MRI saw the chip and got a live feed from the scan of the chip.... If ur a blind batman fan say so but u can get live feed from a chip without being connected to it
It's very difficult. The Caped Crusader remains true to virtue ethics to keep his soul pure while his would-be allies adhear to totalitarianism, which requires far more extreme measures. The type of measures that will psychologically diminish or destroy a man, even one who has the greatest intentions. Our later and modern mythology both teach the difference of these belief systems.
Bro it’s a video game😂 not even that deep or based in reality if you want that real Gotham experience then go Chicago or Detroit see how the blacks will thing of this bs line you typed up 😂
@Cal Caleb bro, it's psychology that's written into fiction, imitating life to teach men lessons. You should learn to have an understanding, and then you will appreciate it. If not for virtuous men and women, there would be no freedom for society. It's not BS. Honour can be twisted into dishonour. I'm not judging you, BTW, luxury affords most to dwell in sloth and arrogance, depriving them of self excellence and virtuous intiation. The current is the age of the anti-hero. Oh, just to clear the fact, I hadn't indicated anything about the Gotham experience. That was your thought. My insight is about the personal and internal
bro imagine taking a guy like azriel (who has clearly and in no uncertain terms expressed his desire to execute evildoers) and putting him in a cell with other criminals. those dudes are all gonna die viciously. (im talking out my ass i have no idea who azriel is and ive never played this game)
I’m stuck on the riddler trophy where you have to use the Batmobiles emp systems. It won’t let me use the line launcher which your supposed to do to get the trophy. I need help any advice ? Plz 🥺
Azrael became one of my favourite characters in the DC universe as a result of this mission, and Khary Payton did a great job bringing the character to life 👏
The only thing about this game I dislike and it’s not even really a criticism But in cutscenes like this characters turn their backs to each other when they clearly shouldn’t - it always makes me feel so uneasy, you never know when batmans gonna turn around and someone will just be there
Hot take: i think Azrael is the best character for combat, his moves just flow really fast and smoothly. Every combat challenge with Azrael is just way too satisfying because of that
if you want to see more of him the tv show gotham season 2 has him as a character don't know if there is any more information about him you haven't seen
I wish they would made this a boss fight. I mean fighting your "mirror" is a classic thing a lot of games do, and having you fight azrael with the moveset of batman as batman, would be fun.

@@undefeatedskull Mad Hatter (along with Killer Croc, Ra's Al Ghul and Mr. Freeze) are all part of the Season of Infamy DLC, their missions are accessible from the mission cycler with a key shortcut which I don't know for PC since I play on PS4. Without spoiling, the premises are as follows:
Mad Hatter
-defuse car bombs around Gotham to free police officers, return to Hatter at the GCPD for final showdown
(listen for the sirens like you can hear here and look for police cars, use detective vision to confirm a body in the trunk)
Killer Croc
-find the downed prisoner transport blimp
-conduct an investigation as to the motive of the crash
-team up with Nightwing to take down Killer Croc
(make sure you have the freeze blast unlocked, if you don't you will not be able to progress through the entirety of the blimp)
Ra's Al Ghul
-run a search similar to the one in Arkham City to locate the entrance of the League's hideout and speak to Ra's
-use the batmobile to locate a fountain of the Lazarus Pit, collect a sample and return it to Ra's
(very story driven mission and important player choice at the end)
Mr. Freeze
-head to the frozen ship on the outskirts of Gotham, talk to Mr. Freeze
-look around Gotham to find Nora and return her to him
-battle the militia and escape

Such a fantastic game. Really wish they'd added more boss fights and less batmobile, though. This should have been a proper boss battle.
