I have a funny story to share. Before the last game was announced, my brother and I were wondering if there would be a next batman game. We were thinking of possible titles and I kid you not, one of the ones we came up with was "Arkham knight". We laughed at how stupid it sounded, only for it to be revealed a couple of months later. One of the weirdest feelings I've ever had.
@@kuinceywithekay2 Where's the evidence that a majority of gamers like Arkham City the most? The polls I've seen on the Batman Arkham subreddit show City getting about 30% of the vote.
I played this game's story close to a dozen times and never even realized that. "So how do you keep a secret from the World's Greatest Detective? Well, do you know? You stick it right in front of him, right under his long pointy nose, and wait."
Another thing is when the fake Joker says ''You fell for the old *fake Joker gag, Batman!'' Hinting that the person saying that isn't Joker and if you didn't notice it, you're left scratching your head as to why he didn't say ''bats'' instead. Now that's good game design!
Theres also a segment in the first mission in the steel mill before meeting joker for the first time, you can hear Harley say "he does looks just like you" and joker replying "shhh dont spoil it"
Let's go over every hint to scarecrow being in arkham knight. His original mask as a riddle, the boat, the hidden frequencies with the messages and then the most obscure one of all, the scarecrow riddle from arkham asylum was "Jonathon crane plans to elevate fear to new depths". You find the arkham city BOAT which travels the DEPTHS of the ocean next to a CRANE which ELEVATES things. And the boat references his plans in arkham knight. Combine that with the arkham city map in quincy's office in arkham asylum and you can safely say that they had arkham knight planned as the final game from the start. Edit: then there's the arkham city story you unlock from scanning the mask that says that even Batman didn't believe scarecrow was dead. As well as the scarecrow fear gas you can find in the third riddler hostage room. Oh and the dead scarecrow thugs you can find during protocol ten.
Yeah, but they did say what the entire plot of the next one tho... But I find its kinda shit that deadstroke, the worlds deadliest assassin, best soldier is defeated easily in origins
+TheRealCMPUNKFan There i this thing called the shops. Go to them and buy a copy. If they dont have anything there is this thing called ebay. *teaching people what they already know*
CHRISPLAYER 95 My PS3's Blu Ray drive is fucked because of GTA V. I would replace it but I have a PS4 now and I don't feel like spending $100 to do so.
Anthony Cooke Even after years, if I replay Arkham City and get to the ending and hear Joker sing I'll sit in the corner of the room and start crying...
20:42 I also love how the detective mode claims that the Joker’s condition is unknown because if you do the same thing to Clayface during his boss fight it will display the same thing. This is because since Clay face doesn’t really have a bodily system to generate emotions it’s kind of difficult to tell what he’s feeling. Detective mode also registers the identity with three question marks. Everything about Clayface in this game is just too good.
Yeah that creeped me out also am I the only one who found some characters fucking terrifying like penguin just my god was done so well even thought he was small man he was made out to be such a badass
Scarecrow: "I will return Batman" "You will pay for what you have done to me" "Fear will tear Gotham City to shreds" 4 years later he's back and he's the main villain in Arkham Knight
So at the beginning of Arkham Knight, Scarecrow threatens Gotham with a chemical bomb. They KNEW they'd use him as a villain when they made this game! That's awesome.
Agreed. Soundtrack wise & Score wise... I mean one of the best & main songs. Daughtry - “Drown In You” One of THE best songs, associated with the game. Still till today in my books & opinions. (Dec, 31st, 2018)
I know I'm 11 years late but it's amazing how much love and care was put into these games. Especially with all the scarecrow references. They really had arkham Knight planned out the whole time
Not really weird, it’s not the first time rocksteady teased the next games plot with well hidden Easter eggs, they did it in Arkham asylum with the hidden room in the wardens office with plans for Arkham city.
Dude (I know six years late) in Crime Alley, Hugo says it will all end where it began...Well (SPOILERS) in Arkham Knight, Batman's identity is revealed to the world in Arkham Asylum and the Arkham series started in the Asylum. Rocksteady has been planning this from the very beginning...
hi bai no Arkham origins was not the first game, it was just an extra Arkham game explaining Batman’s origins, so it is before asylum, but it’s not actually tied to the story of asylum, city, and knight
Uh no your wrong what he meant was that battle with joker the Monarch theater was near crime alley and crime alley was where the origin of Batman began and Arkham city ended at the Monarch theater with joker dying Strange predicted the location where Arkham city would end so...MYTH BUSTED
A huuuuge hint towards the twist of the game is when “Joker” is talking about the TV show you can hear the real Joker coughing in the background as he’s holding the camera.
is dat a fun fact or still an ester egg? ester egg right? dats it maybe spam and said "funfact" u looks like a chad... but u r not anyawy is the only ester egg that everyone knows
Even after the game has come out, even after the final game has come out. I'm back here, watching this video, even though I know the exact order in which the easter eggs are shown, because I've seen it so often.. It just never gets old. I love how much thought Rocksteady has put in these games!
6:58 I love how every arkham game tells you bits about the next game. I like this one specifically because the main mission of Arkham Knight was called City Of Fear which is very similar to City Of Terror
But Arkham origins is the start technically and asylum was were batman started to loose his mind apart from origins batman looses his mind in every game Asylum scarecrow making him ingest all the toxin City joker dying and Batman’s fault he is out of his mind cause he broke his code Knight cloudburst
Rewatching this now, it made me realize that Arkham city in specific had such a specific eerie vibe to it that can’t be replicated by other games. The minor details like scarecrow’s plans and harley’s pregnancy and what they did with joker’s story line had been done in such a way that it could not be replaced. Replaying the game now, that same eerie vibe is still there with all the details especially when it involved the joker and that’s why I love this game so much
On the Harleyquinn's revenge mode there's a cradle with that puppet painted like joker inside along with a new pregnancy test with a negative result. On the box it says that the test can give a false-positive result. I saw it yesterday, while playing. I didn't even saw the first one, that appears on the video.
Now seeing the first Easter egg, it gets more deep, knowing that she was expecting for a baby and after Joker dies, she finds out the test had a cake result. It makes her grief more and more painful. Damn
I remember lively that back in November 2011, this was THE game, every kid wanted a copy of Arkham City for themselves. I remember that I got it for my birthday in April 2012, it was a used copy, it didn't even had the Catwoman DLC which came with it. I spent countless afternoons playing this game, I played it so much that I memorized some of the dialogue in the game. In the end, Batman Arkham City is one of the best games I ever played in my life, I simply have no words to describe how much I love this game
The soundtrack always gives me the chills. Just listening to the sound score in the video my mind went back and I saw myself as 10 year old playing Arkham City and exploring the DC Universe's mythos and thinking of myself as a giant nerd
I got the Return to Arkham 3 years ago and finished both, and as of last night, I am going back to 100% all the Arkham Games, even Origins. Wish me luck!
@@MISSYamihere All Batman did was threw a baterang at killer croc's electric collar thingy, and it stopped him from actually biting scarecrow. And somehow, his mask ended up on a ceiling thingamajig.
Thunder Spartan, well, actually, there was a crowd at Wayne Manor, and that was after Bruce’s identity had been revealed, so Calendar Man just showed up where everyone was.
I don’t see what’s so special about it, my brother says it’s the best superhero game of all time and I 100% disagree (Spider-Man PS4 is the best superhero game). Arkham City has a great story but other than that it’s pretty shitty.
@@sweatyrie-rie5241 Just search the google by typing, "Most critically acclaimed superhero game", you'll find answer. Looks like you're an exception, and if an exception told that this game is shitty, then that exception surely has problem... G'Day!
Yea I thought the same. The way I think of it City was Great , but Knight was just good. It was good game but didn't have the same excitement of City plus the ending sucked.
i think that is a really good game though i still thinking this is the worst of all the arkham saga (excluding the portable ones) my favorite is origins
FAIL Razor8 to know Harley just have daughter of that Joker it just make me feel sad. but in the meantime good because harley will have her legacy without the joker.
Theres one he missed. At the beginning of the game, before you confront Joker for the first time, you hear Harley say something to the tune of "Oh Mr. J, you look wonderful..... oh, you're not Mr. J". Then Joker promptly tells her to shut up.
You're close. She says "Oh Mr, J, you look wonderf- oh... it's... not really you... is it?" and Clayface (As Joker) says "Shut up... Harley!" But yeah, it's pretty funny how Rocksteady put a spoiler into the game as early as the first mission, though they probably knew that since it was a new game at the time that no-one would pick up on it...
i remember when everyone found the scarecrow messages and were like omfg is this a hint to another sequel?? and everyone was so dissapointed because it was going to be a prequel
I was playing today and it is August, and when I talked to him, he said that something monstrous will happen on the 16th. AND WE GO BACK TO SCHOOL ON THE 16TH. IT IS ALSO MARKED ON THE CALENDER NEXT TO HIM. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON
When I first got Batman Arkham City I discovered the first Scarecrow radio transmission by accident and listened. I was so confused so I wrote down all the numbers I heard for the first one and then my buddy came around one day and I told him about it and he came up with an idea. He said the numbers could be of the alphabets so I gave it a try and was surprised as I read the sentence "I will return Batman" it was a huge mind blown to me Edit: Holy shit this comment blew up. Thanks everyone! I just noticed something after watching this video again! I think whoever runs this account is clearly a huge fan of the Scarecrow Easter Eggs cause he added the laugh at the very end.
That happened to me but my teatcher had the game as well and told me about the numbers on the secret radio messages,he knew I knew a lot about batman so I checked it out and figured it out after an hour
Kyle on the beggining of the game? like if u look up when walking there Azrael is there? or when you're on the rooftop some seconds before becoming batman?
Those three Cryptographic messages and the hidden room, all foreshadowing of Arkham Knight. Rocksteady is really clever when they make these games, we see hints and hidden connections like this ALL the time in the Arkham games.
The Scarecrow Easter egg was an example of how a detective gameplay could have been created for Arkham Knight. I mean, players got to do everything Batman can in the Arkham series: gadgets, stealth, gliding, driving the Batmobile etc. but players never got to be the World's Greatest Detective. The Scarecrow Easter eggs involved more detective work than all of the Arkham games.
I have been playing the game recently, and think I have found a NEW Easter egg. If you look at the shape of the 'Restricted Section' on the map, it looks a lot like the shape of the demon's head seals you find in the game. Could that be a very early indication of Ra's involvement in Arkham City? And it's hidden in plain sight every time you look at the map... Personal speculation aside, it's great that the developers put the time and effort into hiding these things for people to find. Whether it's links between games, alternative dialogue (eg. meeting the villains while playing as Catwoman) or just reading the 'Arkham Stories' and listening to Interview Tapes. Makes it so much more satisfying to explore these things for yourself, or watch videos that show you these things.
During the 1800s, in the Batman universe, Jonah Hex (batman before batman/the original crime fighting vigilante) was hired to investigate a series of murders that had transpired all over Gotham alongside Amadeus Arkham. The murderer was deemed the Gotham Butcher. Which ultimately led Hex and Arkham to discover a secret society consisting of all the rich and influential people of gotham. Said people wished and hoped to establish Gotham as the crime capital of the world. The secret society followed the teachings of a book known as the Crime Bible, which so happens to worship a vampire that almost took over all of Europe during the 12th century. That vampire was known as cain...really saddens me to see that Gotham, (1.ultimatley ended up becoming the crime capital of the planet. And (2. Somewhere in the fictitious universe reside the descendants of said people.
The attention to details in this game is truly amazing. I played Arkham Asylum for the first time ever and it was so good that I started Arkham City the next day. And it was even better. I completed the story twice in a row and solved most riddles. And Arkham Knight is waiting for me. What an amazing game series!
Nobody ever talks about the broadcast Easter egg but I think it’s one of the best Easter eggs in gaming history. The fact that it turns into 3 eerie messages all with one code is near impossible to do and is so cool.
Joeys Vlogs Bane would grab it because that's what keeps him strong, scarecrow would grab it because...(we'll prob see exactly what in arkham knight but if I had to guess he'd mix it with his fear toxin) as for croc, I honestly have no clue
well this comment is for people who got to that part of the video, plus not everyone watches everything at the same time, so when i posted this comment, i was done with the video, so i have the right to post when and what i please, everyone does.
Just imagine.. batman comes home after joker just died to the batcave he checks the batcomputer and theres joker singing only you for bats imagine if batman just cried right there..
11:28 That's not Ra's al Ghul's sword at all, though. It's one of the assassin's, indicating they came to retrieve the body. His sword looks nothing like that.
Ha. No. Arkham City's is great, but Knight's is even better. I made a playlist of all the best in-game music from each Arkham game, and Arkham Knight is by far the largest. Origins is the weakest with only 25 (and I'm being generous) music tracks that aren't utterly generic and mediocre.
The game developers shouldnt of put barbras message in the game when catwomen leaves arkham city because superman would just go to gotham and stop joker... he exists in the games universe people
Joshua Guerrero Actualllyyyy It doesnt make sense because the Arkham knight was actually watching batman, And if Catwoman didnt help he would have saved batman. Its official too
Thing is with those "Scarecrow Henchmen", it can't be a texture glitch as they also appear in the Return to Arkham remaster and you'd like to think that Rocksteady would've fixed it. So in my eyes, they definitely are Scarecrow's Henchmen.
in Return to Arkham they didn't fix shit, literally has the same glitches as the old version, all the ways to access blue hell and to exit Arkham City are still in Return to Arkham.
The Scarecrow messages really bring a very creepy atmosphere to the game. You really can't deny the feeling of being watched by the devil, and that he messed your communication to give does encript messages. Incredible to see indeed. Best Arkham game ever.
The 3 things that really disappointed me in this game, were: *The Tyger Guards were just like the thugs, no different. At all. * Not enough Huge Strange testing Batman. *Catwoman and Batman's relationship didn't really develop as much as I hoped.
All these little details and Easter eggs show how much they love the comics like us fans and makes the game feel like an actual loving and breathing environment! The world building in the arkham games is great and a Batman experience you simply can’t get in movies or tv! It’s one of the hundreds of reasons why this game is so great and replayable!
Me seeing Will Smith’s name- Now this is a story all about how his life got flipped turned upside and I’d like to take a minute to sit right there and tell you how I made the best game of the year. In Gotham City born and raised, in the Batcave is where he spent most of his days. Chillin our maxin’, training and making new tools. When couple of guys who were up to no good, startin robbin’ banks in his neighborhood. He got in one big fight, Alfred got scared and said “You must take them to the asylum”. They begged and pleaded day after day until Robin joined the fray, they gave ‘em a kick and Jason decided”I might as well kick it(x_x)”.
Just started Arkham Knight a few days ago & almost about to 100% it. Graphics & story are amazing but Arkham City’s details, atmosphere & story is still superior, the absolute best of the whole series but Arkham Knight is still amazing.
The Batman Arkham games, specifically Asylum and City, are some of the most terrifyingly immersive games I've ever played. The worlds feel gross, wrong, horrifying. And the secrets make you feel like you're never safe- something is always one step ahead of you- and you can't even begin to predict it.
I think it's so cool that "only you" is the ending credit and is used again in Arkham knight during the ending scene when you play as joker right before killing riddler
Imagine being the dude who cracked the frequency codes thinking how cool it is then realizes he just predicted the next game
He didn’t predict he just discovered
Rocksteady has it all planned since the release of Arkham City

City joker dying and Batman’s fault he is out of his mind cause he broke his code
Knight cloudburst
Well no shit
Rewatching this now, it made me realize that Arkham city in specific had such a specific eerie vibe to it that can’t be replicated by other games. The minor details like scarecrow’s plans and harley’s pregnancy and what they did with joker’s story line had been done in such a way that it could not be replaced. Replaying the game now, that same eerie vibe is still there with all the details especially when it involved the joker and that’s why I love this game so much
So true man
The environmental tone of the first two games far exceeds Knight

@@minecraftismyanime8006 Well, she does like it rough.
On the Harleyquinn's revenge mode there's a cradle with that puppet painted like joker inside along with a new pregnancy test with a negative result. On the box it says that the test can give a false-positive result. I saw it yesterday, while playing. I didn't even saw the first one, that appears on the video.
Now seeing the first Easter egg, it gets more deep, knowing that she was expecting for a baby and after Joker dies, she finds out the test had a cake result. It makes her grief more and more painful. Damn
When I beat Arkham Knight, I will legit cry.
Me too
Me to
Same here
Lol same man I love this series
Lol thought i was gonna be the only one XD
Jesus, after playing Arkham Knight, looking back at the scarecrow Easter eggs is so much fucking creepier...
I remember lively that back in November 2011, this was THE game, every kid wanted a copy of Arkham City for themselves. I remember that I got it for my birthday in April 2012, it was a used copy, it didn't even had the Catwoman DLC which came with it. I spent countless afternoons playing this game, I played it so much that I memorized some of the dialogue in the game. In the end, Batman Arkham City is one of the best games I ever played in my life, I simply have no words to describe how much I love this game
The soundtrack always gives me the chills. Just listening to the sound score in the video my mind went back and I saw myself as 10 year old playing Arkham City and exploring the DC Universe's mythos and thinking of myself as a giant nerd
@@pedrobelle5623 you should play Arkham asylum they’re both masterpieces

And at the same time, how good it was, but how much better it could've been
+Adam Burgess
I haven't played it but it is still a beauty in the new consoles, at least what I've seen.
Yea I thought the same. The way I think of it City was Great , but Knight was just good. It was good game but didn't have the same excitement of City plus the ending sucked.
i think that is a really good game though i still thinking this is the worst of all the arkham saga (excluding the portable ones) my favorite is origins

FAIL Razor8 to know Harley just have daughter of that Joker it just make me feel sad.
but in the meantime good because harley will have her legacy without the joker.
FAIL Razor8 NO
See its funny, I think they meant to creep us out but we were just "bravo!"
It’s crazy how scarecrow’s Easter eggs were actually preparations and or predictions for Batman: Arkham Knight
Theres one he missed. At the beginning of the game, before you confront Joker for the first time, you hear Harley say something to the tune of "Oh Mr. J, you look wonderful..... oh, you're not Mr. J". Then Joker promptly tells her to shut up.
Ooh, never noticed that!! Maybe clayface?? Or... I don't know...
thats amazing how the spoiler is right there in the beginning of the game and yet we didn't even notice
Mamba Miketosis lol
You're close. She says "Oh Mr, J, you look wonderf- oh... it's... not really you... is it?" and Clayface (As Joker) says "Shut up... Harley!"
But yeah, it's pretty funny how Rocksteady put a spoiler into the game as early as the first mission, though they probably knew that since it was a new game at the time that no-one would pick up on it...
Faiyaz Alam kinda like when joker says it was right under our noses the whole time
i remember when everyone found the scarecrow messages and were like omfg is this a hint to another sequel?? and everyone was so dissapointed because it was going to be a prequel

When I first got Batman Arkham City I discovered the first Scarecrow radio transmission by accident and listened. I was so confused so I wrote down all the numbers I heard for the first one and then my buddy came around one day and I told him about it and he came up with an idea. He said the numbers could be of the alphabets so I gave it a try and was surprised as I read the sentence "I will return Batman" it was a huge mind blown to me
Edit: Holy shit this comment blew up. Thanks everyone! I just noticed something after watching this video again! I think whoever runs this account is clearly a huge fan of the Scarecrow Easter Eggs cause he added the laugh at the very end.
That happened to me but my teatcher had the game as well and told me about the numbers on the secret radio messages,he knew I knew a lot about batman so I checked it out and figured it out after an hour

Those three Cryptographic messages and the hidden room, all foreshadowing of Arkham Knight. Rocksteady is really clever when they make these games, we see hints and hidden connections like this ALL the time in the Arkham games.
You're Pretty Good wow no shit
You're Pretty Good the scarecrow easter egg is kinda scary to me
The Scarecrow Easter egg was an example of how a detective gameplay could have been created for Arkham Knight. I mean, players got to do everything Batman can in the Arkham series: gadgets, stealth, gliding, driving the Batmobile etc. but players never got to be the World's Greatest Detective. The Scarecrow Easter eggs involved more detective work than all of the Arkham games.
I have been playing the game recently, and think I have found a NEW Easter egg. If you look at the shape of the 'Restricted Section' on the map, it looks a lot like the shape of the demon's head seals you find in the game. Could that be a very early indication of Ra's involvement in Arkham City? And it's hidden in plain sight every time you look at the map...
Personal speculation aside, it's great that the developers put the time and effort into hiding these things for people to find. Whether it's links between games, alternative dialogue (eg. meeting the villains while playing as Catwoman) or just reading the 'Arkham Stories' and listening to Interview Tapes. Makes it so much more satisfying to explore these things for yourself, or watch videos that show you these things.
During the 1800s, in the Batman universe, Jonah Hex (batman before batman/the original crime fighting vigilante) was hired to investigate a series of murders that had transpired all over Gotham alongside Amadeus Arkham. The murderer was deemed the Gotham Butcher. Which ultimately led Hex and Arkham to discover a secret society consisting of all the rich and influential people of gotham. Said people wished and hoped to establish Gotham as the crime capital of the world. The secret society followed the teachings of a book known as the Crime Bible, which so happens to worship a vampire that almost took over all of Europe during the 12th century. That vampire was known as cain...really saddens me to see that Gotham, (1.ultimatley ended up becoming the crime capital of the planet.
And (2. Somewhere in the fictitious universe reside the descendants of said people.
Is this legit?
So batman became a reincarnation of that guy I'm presuming.
@@ThxIcarus Jonah hex is a character that's been around for quite a while that comic definitely isn't the only thing he's been in

The attention to details in this game is truly amazing. I played Arkham Asylum for the first time ever and it was so good that I started Arkham City the next day. And it was even better. I completed the story twice in a row and solved most riddles. And Arkham Knight is waiting for me. What an amazing game series!
turns out scarecrow had plans for gotham. he tried to release the toxic cloudburst. but batman kicked his ass

Nobody ever talks about the broadcast Easter egg but I think it’s one of the best Easter eggs in gaming history. The fact that it turns into 3 eerie messages all with one code is near impossible to do and is so cool.
This scarecrow Easter egg couldn't make more sense,he's returning in batman arkham knight!!!!!
You had to know he would return at some point because at the end of asylum his arm comes out from the water and grabs hold of the TITAN crate.
Joeys Vlogs It's a random ending.It's either Bane,Croc or Scarecrow
Timid Fool well, I had no clue the ending was random :/ now that you mention it I remember seeing banes arm one time.
Joeys Vlogs Bane would grab it because that's what keeps him strong, scarecrow would grab it because...(we'll prob see exactly what in arkham knight but if I had to guess he'd mix it with his fear toxin) as for croc, I honestly have no clue
These are all good theories I think
They should go with batman beyond
They said it was the last arkham game
Not the last batman game tho
Im pretty sure they meant Batman Arkham. If they were to make another batman game and not make it arkham related.

Is it me or is the musical score of Arkham City much better than Arkham Knight?
True
@Mohammed no you didn't just say that
Ha. No. Arkham City's is great, but Knight's is even better. I made a playlist of all the best in-game music from each Arkham game, and Arkham Knight is by far the largest. Origins is the weakest with only 25 (and I'm being generous) music tracks that aren't utterly generic and mediocre.
Everything about city is better than night
The game developers shouldnt of put barbras message in the game when catwomen leaves arkham city because superman would just go to gotham and stop joker... he exists in the games universe people
Joshua Guerrero Thats why she said, if anyone can hear this, send help, so I think other hero come and stop Joker
Joshua Guerrero Actualllyyyy It doesnt make sense because the Arkham knight was actually watching batman, And if Catwoman didnt help he would have saved batman. Its official too
Did anyone else hear the REAL Joker cough and camera shaking at 16:33?
Oops my bad. I wrote the comment right after i heard the cough. I didn't know that it was gonna be mentioned later in the video.
Wow I'm deaf cuz wen i played arkham city I NEVERnheard that cough neither did I see that shake!!!
me to
Thing is with those "Scarecrow Henchmen", it can't be a texture glitch as they also appear in the Return to Arkham remaster and you'd like to think that Rocksteady would've fixed it. So in my eyes, they definitely are Scarecrow's Henchmen.
in Return to Arkham they didn't fix shit, literally has the same glitches as the old version, all the ways to access blue hell and to exit Arkham City are still in Return to Arkham.
Return To Arkham is a cheap remaster lmao. Makes Knight at full price look like Portal 2 levels of quality.

The Scarecrow messages really bring a very creepy atmosphere to the game. You really can't deny the feeling of being watched by the devil, and that he messed your communication to give does encript messages. Incredible to see indeed. Best Arkham game ever.
The 3 things that really disappointed me in this game, were:
*The Tyger Guards were just like the thugs, no different. At all.
* Not enough Huge Strange testing Batman.
*Catwoman and Batman's relationship didn't really develop as much as I hoped.
yeah, I thought the tyger guards were supposed to be tougher enemies.
All these little details and Easter eggs show how much they love the comics like us fans and makes the game feel like an actual loving and breathing environment! The world building in the arkham games is great and a Batman experience you simply can’t get in movies or tv! It’s one of the hundreds of reasons why this game is so great and replayable!
they are definitely scarecrow thugs!
some inmates which remain alive during protocol 10 say stuff like " get them off of me !" I swear!
Now that scarecrow has been confirmed I am just hoping for croc..... :)
no please! haha he's the only one that always scared me :P

Me seeing Will Smith’s name-
Now this is a story all about how his life got flipped turned upside and I’d like to take a minute to sit right there and tell you how I made the best game of the year. In Gotham City born and raised, in the Batcave is where he spent most of his days. Chillin our maxin’, training and making new tools. When couple of guys who were up to no good, startin robbin’ banks in his neighborhood. He got in one big fight, Alfred got scared and said “You must take them to the asylum”. They begged and pleaded day after day until Robin joined the fray, they gave ‘em a kick and Jason decided”I might as well kick it(x_x)”.

The Batman Arkham games, specifically Asylum and City, are some of the most terrifyingly immersive games I've ever played. The worlds feel gross, wrong, horrifying. And the secrets make you feel like you're never safe- something is always one step ahead of you- and you can't even begin to predict it.
Sometimes these Games scared the hell out of me
