I love how scarecrow comes back in this game as almost a literal demon. He was absent in arkham city but it seems after he got beaten in arkham asylum he spent that time planning, watching, fuming and becoming more and more deranged into this much more serious and scary version of himself. something to truly be feared.
Too bad we didn’t get a hallucinogenic final showdown with Scarecrow like we did in Asylum. This game was fun, but it had so many things that could’ve been done better.
But actually he's realistically among the weakest of the villains, unless he has a fixed and prepared situation. Bane is both superstrong and a master tactician, Deastroke - an amazing assassin proficient in weapon use and fighting, Killer Croc - essentially a super strong animal with higher intelligence, etc., etc. Scarecrow is a relatively weak lunatic who also doesn't have powerful connections or skills or is that much respected or followed by the other villains.
Same. I watched it in 2015 and got solid memories of it. Didn't have a console at this point. Last week I bought it, and I'm finally running the Scarecrow party 😁
I truly LOVE how Rocksteady always re-designs their character models. In each game, every villain (and Batman) has looked different than the one before. They NEVER re-use their assets and always start over from scratch! Other big game developers need to take note of this.
dredvax the game was good, but it could’ve been darker, had less Batmobile, have the villains more involved with the story instead of being side quests, and have the Arkham Knight not be Jason Todd
"When the dawn comes, when Gotham lies in ruin and I turn my gaze to the world beyond. The legend of the Batman will be worth nothing. At. All"-The Best Batman villain.
Joker will always be the best... he psychologically attacks batman. Joker knows that Batman is the same as him and Batman knows that Joker is the same as him. Except Joker broke down and Joker tries to bring Batman down with him. and that way is... Killing him. When Batman kills joker, Joker wins. But when Batman retires and Joker is in Arkham Asylum, Joker can no longer laugh. But when batman comes back, Joker finally feels happy again. They are like best friends and brothers in a weird messed up and fucked up way. Batman can not live without Joker and Joker can not live without Batman. Sorry Joker fanboy here
Dennis F. He did! He definitely did! He was more involved in the story than the other villains, with arguably the exception of Harley Quinn. He directly helped Joker take over Arkham Asylum by stealing the blueprints and access to the security cameras (which he could've even given Harley), he kept Batman occupied while Joker organized his plans, he was implied to have helped develop the Titan formula, and Joker knew he was still alive in Arkham City so they must have kept in touch! He was Joker's surest successor.
SPOILERS! I was hoping that Black Mask was going to be the main villain in "Origins",and was disappointed to find out that it was really The Joker. I still really enjoyed "Origins" though,mainly for the story. But that Joker rehash had gotten a little old.
Don Scott Well, to be fair, the game was called Arkham Origins. Promised to show how the driving relationships of the Arkhamverse were formed. THE driving relationship of the Arkhamverse is the Batman-Joker dynamic, which they fleshed out. So it was kinda fitting to have him as the main villain.
Dennis F. What the hell happened to Scarecrow anyway? He started out in these games as a scrawny weakling trying to be scary and now he's this intimidating badass.
+LUCKY STARS GAMING if he maintains that attitude from asylum then he is not the villain gotham deserves... the only way to be badass is to be a Hugo strange archetype ... unless you're the joker... the Dark knight Rises turns bane into a British Hugo Strange.... you think if he's like the original Bane he would've made such an impact to viewers?
Jay Zie Do you know anything about the original bane? The man released all of the villains from Arkham and let Batman fight them all for like 3 days straight with no sleep then broke his back. The best banes are the ones that show cunning and planning and not just being Uber jacked
"And when the dawn comes and Gotham lies in ruin and I turn my gaze to the world beyond. The legend of the batman will be worth nothing at all" sends chills down my spine"
I think the reason everyone's character face design looks different is to be realistic!!! They actually look like crazy people dressed up in bizzare suits. They dont look at all cartoony at all like in a regular video game or previous arkhams. They look like insane people you would see in the real world. This is how batman characters should look on next gen... as if it were like us watching a movie.
Electric Productions +Electric Productions I am glad you get the point!! Two face's face looks exactly like someone's whos face got burned off way more realistic than the previous games and the riddler looks like an insane psycho lol not a properly dressed business owner. And penguins eye glass seems to be infused in his eye socket, its all those things that make the new designs look great. And harley just gets hotter in every game 😂😂
I would prefer if a game didn't look like a movie. Good graphics are nice and all, but If I wanted the experience of a movie, I could watch one.Too many games are trying to look ultra realistic like movies. Although, that is just my opinion and I understand that some people like a fantasy world to seem realistic.
Man it will be the First Dc game to be rated m and the 7th comic book game their is 2 punisher games 1 deadpool and then kick ass and 2 blade games and x men wolverine
Warmers Bros. stated that there will be some key scenes in the games that will likely cause some "issues" in terms of rating. I think it will be kinda like a torture scene or something.
We should still keep our eyes on Scarecrow and hope for sure that he is Jonathan Crane under the mask in this game and NOT Joker impersonating him because we had enough of the clown prince of Crime being the most heavily focused villain of these games and Rocksteady promised that Scarecrow takes the villain's place as Gotham's Ultimate Criminal Mastermind so there is no fing waythey would lie to us because if they did and swindled us with Joker, it's gonna cause problems
First, Joker is finally dead, and all of us have asked Rocksteady to drop him, so he is out for sure. Second, if somehow they did bring him back, it wouldn't be until the very end, after you have spent several hours AS Batman, and had the ride of your life. To which case, you would be butthurt, we all would be. However, All of us would immediately play it again, because this looks incredible.
The joker was the main villain in arkham asylum Hugo strange was the main villain in arkham city Harley quinn was the main villain in arkham city dlc The joker & bane was the main villain in arkham origins Mr.freeze was the main villain in arkham origins dlc & scarecrow is the main villain for arkham knight
Not quite arkham knight has 3 main villains 2 physical and 1 mental Scarecrow and the arkham knight And then theres batman's internal struggle with the joker And technically R'as was the main villain of city
Scarecrow's sure talking a lot of tough shit for a guy who'd have to deal with the entire rest of the Justice League if he ever actually DID try his crap outside of Gotham.
Not is he had the yellow ring of the Sinestro Corps. He was extremely powerful when he had the ring, beating up Justice League members until Lex Luthor tore his finger off.
I wonder why ivy looks different and holy shit,scarecrows looks and sounds like the most terrifying Villain in the dc universe and hey look it's firefly :)
The Batmobile is a dope addition to the game as far as, for traverses, but it was overwhelmingly exhausting. Surrounded by side missions, the boss fights is one of its biggest drawbacks, especially for an official ending conclusion to a popular franchise.@@amb-yz9ee
@@amb-yz9ee and yet People still go back to play this game and having fun with the Batmobile! Praising Joker throughout this game and series. Don’t see this as a bad thing, the game was just ahead of its time.
Gonna call it now, there's gonna be a scene where the Joker shows up in game and everyone's gonna flock all over everywhere screaming how the game and it's continuity is completely ruined. And then they play an extra twenty minutes to find out that it's just Scarecrow using his drugs to mess with Batman's guilt via hallucinations.
Hallucinations will be an amazing way to show the Joker. One of Batman's fear is leading to the death of someone (Not in Batman Begins though...) so it'd make sense.
Agreed he was amazing as scarecrow, made you feel like he was insane but his voice is not, he's calm and rational. He doesn't want to kill batman but, break him mentally and humiliate him in front of the whole world
I've fully completed the game three times now and this trailer still gives me the chills! Scarecrow is such a badass! Best trailer ever and one of the greatest games I've ever played!
***** way to ruin such a deep and well made character, so far Bat-Man characters are the only thing worth of reading from DC (IMO) , i just hope they don't plan to ruin it like they did with superman years ago, i'll stick to the batman games i guess
Cory Lyons I'm wondering if they either made it so Croc messed up his vocal cords, or if they even made it so Jonathan Crane is dead, and there is a NEW Scarecrow, because the voice is totally opposite from Arkham Asylum.
We were singing and screaming w/excitement. Imagine 6-years of obsessively decoding Easter Eggs. It all could've easily been throwaway references; cute winks and nods to hardcore fans that ultimately went nowhere. But learning that every Easter Egg in Arkham was all part of larger meta game, which lead to a grand finale, is something I don't know if we'll ever see again.
I can't believe it has been a little over 2 years now. I still come back to watch this. It's one of the greatest game trailers ever made. On a side note..the world needs more Scarecrow. Can't wait for the day he gets to be the main villain of a movie. He sure as hell deserves it. Such a shame he is so underrated.
“This is how it happened. This is how the Batman died.” This is where the Arkham story ends. Not that garbage in _Kill The Justice League_ . It started in the Asylum and it ended there. Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight failed. All the villains are behind bars. Gotham is safe. Batman has won the war and his work is done. His work is done. Because of his identity being discovered, he activated the Knightfall Protocol to protect his allies and Gotham from the scum he locked away. Bruce Wayne died in Wayne Manor alongside Alfred. All that’s left is a new myth. A legend that is more powerful. A legend that can only rise from the ashes of the Batman. Rest in peace Kevin Conroy, thank you for being our Batman. We will never forget you! ❤
No, they said this was the last one rocksteady are going to make, I don't think WB has any intention of ending the series. But if they continue it I want a god damm batman beyond arkham game!
Scarecrow has always been my 2nd most favorite villain made in Batman's world but I loved how they made him a more serious threat unlike the animated series and movies -_-
To be honest I think she looks great. in here plus in the first two games you could tell she's wearing some make up. but here it seems she's wearing none. Either way I think she looks hot in all of the games.
I don't know about you guys but I think it be epic af if batman and deathstroke teamed up to save gotham. Because what benefit would deathstroke have to see gotham destroyed? Plus I hope catwoman is in here. U can't end the series without catwoman
this trailer still goes so fucking hard. 8-9 years later. craziness. this and the “This Ain’t No Place for a Hero” gameplay trailer for Arkham City are just peak.
i am a pc player and i dont care, this is completely unnecessary. althought it was funny and badass. the fact that pc is better is a scientifically proof because of the hardware, althought it doesnt mean you should stick it in people's face.
David Nguyen Oh crap, sorry. I got confused because because in Doctor Who there's an episode in which a guy turns younger by doing an experiment called the lazarus experiment.
Lazarus is a person in (I presume) the Bible, and is resurrected by Jesus 3 days after his death. This is why things referring to cheating death often are called Lazarus (Pit/Experiment, for example). Not to mention it's a relatively cool name for something.
I love how they gave scarecrow his long deserved front page. And it makes sense. Two face and penguin is a gangsters, poison ivy doesn't have a beef with batman or willing to work with others, harley as fun as she is, not a big of a threat to batman, except the dlc, and riddler well, he has his trophies to set. So it would make sense that Scarecrow will have his revenge by destroying batman's, to prove that even with years of protection, people of gotham will be afraid of every villain and gangster that will cross their way.
Except Two-Face is dead. The actor of Joker is dead while Joker himself is alive. There was no Harley Quinn, Oracle, Penguin, Riddler, Nightwing, Poison Ivy, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Firefly etc.
Ink Hyaena Sure, because so many people already know the identity of the AK, that‘s why there were countless theories about his real identity ( Hush, Bruce Wayne Clone, Fear Gas illusion, Joker, even Sharp was a theory). Jason Todd was just one theory out of many. And AK is the best, because Scarecrow was awesome in the game& Under the Red Hood& the Killing Joke was mixed with fear theme of the game. The only part, that was weird was the Joker disease, but Joker still fit with the story of the game.
What's this? A game trailer that doesn't end by jarringly pushing pre-order bonuses into your face? Well crap, I actually feel like getting this game now.
Scarecrow has a point: no matter how many times Batman saves the day (or night, as the case may be), he'll never inspire people to stay behind when a villain threatens them - fear will always win over them. And it just so happens that fear is Scarecrow's element.
Returning to the trailer 5 years later gives me goosebumps all the arkham games were amazing the only complaint for knight was the boss fights they werent "boss fights" in the traditional arkham matter but whatever to the people complaining too much reliance on the batmobile it was cause so many people were complaining about "not using the batmobile" so rocksteady attempted to make it to satisfy those people but i also agree too much reliance. Anyways i just decided to type this in case someone sees this happy social distancing people.
"...and when the dawn comes, when Gotham lies in ruin and I turn my gaze to the world beyond, the legend of the Batman, will be worth nothing at all." Scarecrow is pretty damn hardcore in this trailer.
And Shitaku says Scarecrow is the worst, most lamest villain in Batman ever. Because you know, they are totally not garbage and a paragon of ethics in journalism.
I feel like this should have been a game where Batman decides to do away with his whole no killing rule. There's just too much at stake, and it seems just too inconvenient when he's driving a freaking tank.
Yeah, it definitely challenges to his principles. And it would be great to see that get explored. But I'm not sure it would be a good idea since that's pretty central to who and what Batman is. Maybe, though. Definitely an interesting idea.
I like the fact that to people who don't know much about batman and his rogue gallery outside of playing the arkham games, scarecrow returning as the big bad here would seem like the return of glup shitto or something considering how he was almost nothing in arkham asylum
Oo, another silver, and yes I couldn't agree more omfg. I love how you could be her in Arkham City, if they don't implement that in the finale I'm going to be very cross. She better be in it.
She will be in this game. Arkham Knight wants to hurt Batman so he should aim her and other people Batman cares. Gordon, Barbara, Tim, Alfred. Also Azrael must be in this game too. It's very likely that since Hush escaped, Talia died (or not... Immortal) and Selina doesn't know who is Batman under his mask (as shown in Arkham City tapes) that they will play some romantic thing like that comic Batman Hush Heart (something like this).
I liked Arkham Knight, but there are 4 things that Rocksteady could have done to have made AK a true GOTY contender. 1. Tone WAAAAAAAAAAY down on the trashy drones and Batmobile sections. 2. Go with the Spider-Man: Web of Shadows story formula. Start with a hustling bustling city, complete with Batman stuff, civilians, and baddies. Then have an unknown threat make itself more apparent, where threat of city-wide destruction looms, causing Batman to investigate further while the city begins to panic. (The scene where Batman stops that chemical plant from exploding would be a good transition into the final act. Except this time, Batman gets knocked out for a couple hours by fear toxin or something) Finally, go full out chaos/apocalypse in Gotham. Few civvies left, thugs everywhere, and the city on fire. 3. Make the Arkham Knight a figment of Batman's imagination. Batman gets effected by Scarecrow's toxin somewhere in the second act, and imagine's a vicious foe who leads a militia into Gotham. Instead, Scarecrow is still the main baddy of the game, but Batman believes he is working with someone else. Keep the Joker mechanic in the game just to throw player's off. Hell, even leave the Jason Todd reveal at the end, and then have the Joker or somebody reveal Jason is also a figment of his imagination. 4. Add waaaaaaaaaay more character side quests. GOTY right there.
+TheConspiratorist another thing, new villains, there were like only 2 new villains in the arkham verse, mr pyg and that holy guy dude, forgot his name I wanted more villains but nope 60% of the is militia stuff
5. Instead of Jason Todd, make Hush the Arkham Knight. Crane mentored Elliot in college when he was a professor so their alliance would make sense given their shared history. It could also provide more flexibility to the story making it all the more surprising when the reveal of the Arkham Knight's identity finally arrives.

Also some major surgery after getting mauled by Croc.
Honestly I thought his new look and bleak outlook made him seem less scary than on Arkham Island.
But actually he's realistically among the weakest of the villains, unless he has a fixed and prepared situation. Bane is both superstrong and a master tactician, Deastroke - an amazing assassin proficient in weapon use and fighting, Killer Croc - essentially a super strong animal with higher intelligence, etc., etc. Scarecrow is a relatively weak lunatic who also doesn't have powerful connections or skills or is that much respected or followed by the other villains.

theres a deathstroke reference from Arkham Origins

Rocksteady ain't stupid enough to pull off "Splash-Damage."
No they said NO JOKER. Beside listen to his voice, sound anything like Mark Hamil....
First, Joker is finally dead, and all of us have asked Rocksteady to drop him, so he is out for sure.

i know, right?
i can imagine him trying this junk in Metropolis and Superman just ruining his day.

If he did, I'm sure Scarecrow wouldn't make a spectacle out of it. If anything, he'd just do it.
Not is he had the yellow ring of the Sinestro Corps. He was extremely powerful when he had the ring, beating up Justice League members until Lex Luthor tore his finger off.
And that is exactly why I can't take the DC universe seriously. No relatable threat is a threat when you put Justice League on it.

That speech of Scarecrow is soo good and dope....if only we had a real life action Scarecrow like that in Batman movies.
We already did in the Nolan movies and Oppenheimer.
4 years later even though I’ve played it, this trailer just gets me exited again and again
Happy Anniversary Batman Arkham Knight! This game will always be remembered as a well made masterpiece!
Batman is my 3rd favorite DC character, right behind Iron Man and Captain America.
*slow clap*
Neither Iron Man nor Captain America are owned by DC. Both belong to Marvel.
No they're not.
Don't know if obvious troll or actually an idiot....
suicidemessiah07 Both
i really hope they dont pull whatever bullshit would be needed to bring the joker back.
I really hope they don't follow the New 52 and make him immortal but knowing Rocksteady, they won't. They actually listen to the fans.
*****
i fking hate when DC do that kind of things, immortal characters are the less interesting things on a comic
randomnamex1 Especially making The Joker immortal.
*****
way to ruin such a deep and well made character, so far Bat-Man characters are the only thing worth of reading from DC (IMO) , i just hope they don't plan to ruin it like they did with superman years ago, i'll stick to the batman games i guess
He's dead rocksteady has stated that plenty of times. Nice try though.
IVY AND FIREFLY?! DENT AND PENGUIN?! HARLEY QUINN?! SCARECROW AND ARKHAM KNIGHT?! OMG YEESSSSSS
Two-Face?
You forgot Bane
Cory Lyons Is he confirmed? Haven't seen him yet.
It looks like him @ 0:42
Maybe I'm wrong.
When I heard scare crow say "When Gotham...." I then immediately thought: "is ashes, then you have my permission to die."
is it me or does scarecrow sound like strange?
Cory Lyons You would too if you were mauled by Killer fricken croc!
Lol.
Cory Lyons Found it hilarious that nobody knew what you mean't by "Strange" xD
Cory Lyons I'm wondering if they either made it so Croc messed up his vocal cords, or if they even made it so Jonathan Crane is dead, and there is a NEW Scarecrow, because the voice is totally opposite from Arkham Asylum.
Cory Lyons Well John Noble does do the strangest of characters in every TV show or Movies he's been in so... Kind of suits his TV personality lol.
Every time I watch this trailer I imagine how the people who decoded scarecrows messages from Arkham city reacted to this.
We reacted the same way thor reacted to captain America lifting mjolnir
“I knew It!”
We were singing and screaming w/excitement.
Imagine 6-years of obsessively decoding Easter Eggs. It all could've easily been throwaway references; cute winks and nods to hardcore fans that ultimately went nowhere. But learning that every Easter Egg in Arkham was all part of larger meta game, which lead to a grand finale, is something I don't know if we'll ever see again.
whos here in 2020 during quarantine
No one...
Because you writed it after quarantine
me
2021
No matter what year we are in the Batman Arkham series will always be ahead of its time, No game should have been that good and fun
I can't believe it has been a little over 2 years now. I still come back to watch this. It's one of the greatest game trailers ever made. On a side note..the world needs more Scarecrow. Can't wait for the day he gets to be the main villain of a movie. He sure as hell deserves it. Such a shame he is so underrated.
YEAH
"Legends live on. Only man comes to an end."
RIP Kevin Conroy
Legit one of the best video game trailers I’ve ever seen R.I.P Kevin Conroy
“This is how it happened. This is how the Batman died.”
This is where the Arkham story ends. Not that garbage in _Kill The Justice League_ . It started in the Asylum and it ended there. Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight failed. All the villains are behind bars. Gotham is safe. Batman has won the war and his work is done. His work is done. Because of his identity being discovered, he activated the Knightfall Protocol to protect his allies and Gotham from the scum he locked away. Bruce Wayne died in Wayne Manor alongside Alfred. All that’s left is a new myth. A legend that is more powerful. A legend that can only rise from the ashes of the Batman.
Rest in peace Kevin Conroy, thank you for being our Batman. We will never forget you! ❤
If joker comes back im gonna break my computer....
fuck....
go back to Gotham and save the fucking city Bruce! :(
Yeah... About that...
yup the joker is back
+Cristian Sazo but as an hallutionation
This trailer has me shaking. This is going to be one amazing game. Its a worthy sendoff to the Arkham Series
Bruh
The hairs on my back just stood out.
This game just looks too awesome
They said. This is the last game in the Batman Arkham Series. They aren't making any more. This is it. Why do you think it is so big?
No, they said this was the last one rocksteady are going to make, I don't think WB has any intention of ending the series. But if they continue it I want a god damm batman beyond arkham game!
The intensity is so much, I'm not gonna be suprised if this wins *Best Game of the Year*
6 years later and it still sends shivers down my spine, Rocksteady's marketing team really know how to make an exciting trailer!
Damn Scarecrow's speech gave me goosebumps..
Scarecrow has always been my 2nd most favorite villain made in Batman's world but I loved how they made him a more serious threat unlike the animated series and movies -_-
Does poison ivy seem less sexy?
It's a video game
To be honest I think she looks great. in here plus in the first two games you could tell she's wearing some make up. but here it seems she's wearing none. Either way I think she looks hot in all of the games.
God Soul Production is it? Really? You sure?
BrockL191 I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure it's a video game
Brennan Jenkins to me she was so over sexualized in the other games maybe this is more realistic and I'm just not used to it
I don't know about you guys but I think it be epic af if batman and deathstroke teamed up to save gotham. Because what benefit would deathstroke have to see gotham destroyed?
Plus I hope catwoman is in here. U can't end the series without catwoman
Oh if they do that, and you can BE deathstroke, like in arhkam city you oculd be catwoman, that would be epic as hell
Sasuke Uchiha exactly what I was thinking
The Arkham Knight This is the game I've been dying to get my hands on. I'm so damn pumped. I'm still hoping Man-Bat does make an appearance here
Deathstroke. Is. A. Villain. Think reasonably, will you?
MNIMnoob oh lighten up. if Red hood is a dlc, why not deathstroke too
this trailer still goes so fucking hard. 8-9 years later. craziness. this and the “This Ain’t No Place for a Hero” gameplay trailer for Arkham City are just peak.
I always come back to it. It really does Scarecrow justice
The voice of Kevin Conroy saying "Over my dead body" sends chills down my spine every time!
Edit: Rest in Power Kevin, you truly were Batman! 🦇
PS4 Fanboy: "You know we have the best looking ver..."
PC Elites: "Over my dead body."
Franz Pogi said flopstation fanboy
i am a pc player and i dont care, this is completely unnecessary.
althought it was funny and badass.
the fact that pc is better is a scientifically proof because of the hardware, althought it doesnt mean you should stick it in people's face.
Who the fuck cares?
The ps version and xbox version graphics will be at parity the developers aid it themselves
Xbox ppl: *sits in corner*
Man, John Noble as the Scarecrow is just amazing. Can't wait to see what him and AK have in store for Gotham!
Harley Quinn looks younger than she was in Arkham City, did she use the lazarus pit or something?
Doctor Who! :D
Johann Diaz what, that's not a doctor who refrence
David Nguyen Oh crap, sorry. I got confused because because in Doctor Who there's an episode in which a guy turns younger by doing an experiment called the lazarus experiment.
Lazarus is a person in (I presume) the Bible, and is resurrected by Jesus 3 days after his death. This is why things referring to cheating death often are called Lazarus (Pit/Experiment, for example). Not to mention it's a relatively cool name for something.
i'm talking about the Lazarus pit that Ra's Al Ghul used
0:48 two-face still has the scar from when catwoman scratched him in Arkham City. Nice touch
I love how they gave scarecrow his long deserved front page. And it makes sense. Two face and penguin is a gangsters, poison ivy doesn't have a beef with batman or willing to work with others, harley as fun as she is, not a big of a threat to batman, except the dlc, and riddler well, he has his trophies to set. So it would make sense that Scarecrow will have his revenge by destroying batman's, to prove that even with years of protection, people of gotham will be afraid of every villain and gangster that will cross their way.
HYPED!!!
And Poison Ivy is in this?!?...YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
same goes for firefly :D
rodolfo velazquez I hope the Al Ghul's and Deathstroke including Shiva make a return
Delon Luu and Catwoman!
games only 3 months away so that should be enough time to include more characters
thedarksaviour755 yes!!! Can't forget that too
Asylum - great beginning
City - ultimate sequel
Knight - epic conclusion
Truly legendary trilogy.
What about origins? best boss fights?
@blackphantom6334 The game is really good, i've never doubted it. But "Origins" is more standalone in my opinion. You can enjoy it without trilogy.
Starting from 1:33 on while they show the villians...does anyone else get chills during that part?? OMG!!! FRICKIN AWESOME!!!!!
Two years later and this is still so cool, my favorite Arkham Knight trailer. Gives me chills.
Perfect Games, Perfect Trailers, Perfect Story, Accurate Lore.
Welcome to the Arkham Series.
The main story of this game could've easily been the fourth installment of the dark knight trilogy
Except Two-Face is dead. The actor of Joker is dead while Joker himself is alive. There was no Harley Quinn, Oracle, Penguin, Riddler, Nightwing, Poison Ivy, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Firefly etc.
sweeneysparrow98
ivy voice seems like fish mooney's from gotham
I thought the exact thing! XD I was expecting to see Fish when I heard the voice.
HOW DAre you insult harley quinn
eiji niizuma
harley queen?
9 years later and this still tops any game trailer since! Back when Arkham & Rocksteady were at the top! Alas we got the Suicide Squad 😫
I just love that my boy scarecrow finally got a chance to shine
This trailer still rocks all these years later. When we all partied at my house back in the day I’d play this drunk for everyone over and over.
If only they brought in Paul Dini to write the story for this game, we would have gotten the epic story and ending we wanted.
Sebastian Joseph The story of AK was way better than the first 2 games.
@@kirak1561 How? It was so predictable who the Knight was. So many people called it before the game even came out
Ink Hyaena Sure, because so many people already know the identity of the AK, that‘s why there were countless theories about his real identity ( Hush, Bruce Wayne Clone, Fear Gas illusion, Joker, even Sharp was a theory). Jason Todd was just one theory out of many. And AK is the best, because Scarecrow was awesome in the game& Under the Red Hood& the Killing Joke was mixed with fear theme of the game. The only part, that was weird was the Joker disease, but Joker still fit with the story of the game.
What's this? A game trailer that doesn't end by jarringly pushing pre-order bonuses into your face?
Well crap, I actually feel like getting this game now.
Rocksteady isn't EA/Ubisoft.
***** /Activision
***** Yet you still have to preorder if you want to play as Harley Qiunn lol
Leonel Gutiérrez Lol, true.
***** At the end of the first trailer for this game, the Harley Quinn preorder bonus was advertised
Still my all time favorite trailer for a game. Pure perfection.
Warner Bros: ok, any ideas of how to make The Batman film?
Me: "shows this trailer"
Comparing this Rocksteady to the one now is a travesty.
Scarecrow has a point: no matter how many times Batman saves the day (or night, as the case may be), he'll never inspire people to stay behind when a villain threatens them - fear will always win over them. And it just so happens that fear is Scarecrow's element.
How Is this 6 years old now?!
Returning to the trailer 5 years later gives me goosebumps all the arkham games were amazing the only complaint for knight was the boss fights they werent "boss fights" in the traditional arkham matter but whatever to the people complaining too much reliance on the batmobile it was cause so many people were complaining about "not using the batmobile" so rocksteady attempted to make it to satisfy those people but i also agree too much reliance. Anyways i just decided to type this in case someone sees this happy social distancing people.
I agree i also loved all 4 games
"...and when the dawn comes, when Gotham lies in ruin and I turn my gaze to the world beyond, the legend of the Batman, will be worth nothing at all."
Scarecrow is pretty damn hardcore in this trailer.
Can you say Scarecrow's entire speech?
R.I.P to the legend
And Shitaku says Scarecrow is the worst, most lamest villain in Batman ever. Because you know, they are totally not garbage and a paragon of ethics in journalism.
Why am I not surprised? xD
Yes, Ethics I love that word. Ethics, ethics, ethics.
Yeah...coming from a source like them XD
Scarecrow is the worst and most lamest villain? Shut up Shitaku.
Hes John Noble now, he will be amazing.
Game of the century. Nothing could possibly be better than this.
Metal Gear Solid V says hi.
avirx8 Shut up.
Slender Man lol
avirx8
No, just no.
I plan to play them and enjoy them both :D
One of the greatest games ever made and also one of the best trailers ever made!
You only truly appreciate sth after it's gone.
i dont care what any one says, Batman will forever be more iconic than marvel, and this trailer more iconic than the mcu
Oh my god, so bloody epic, can't wait.. Only bad thing is lack of jokes, if you know what i mean
After watching this trailer, I felt something was missing... But we'll get used to it
I'm not sure about that. Everybody knows how important the Clown Prince of Crime is. I'm just full of faith about the clown.
We've had enough of him.Time for some other villains to get the spotlight.
connor mccartney exactly right. Especially since Hamill stepped down.
Totally agree we need the joker back
I was so happy they made Scarecrow the main villain
Even after 3 years, this trailer still gives me chills
6 years now STILL CHILLS!
@megatrash35
Still chills?
I feel like this should have been a game where Batman decides to do away with his whole no killing rule. There's just too much at stake, and it seems just too inconvenient when he's driving a freaking tank.
EXACTLY
Yeah, it definitely challenges to his principles. And it would be great to see that get explored. But I'm not sure it would be a good idea since that's pretty central to who and what Batman is. Maybe, though. Definitely an interesting idea.
I thought the same thing. Batman should've just killed them all.
He wouldn't. Else he would become just an ordinary superhero. He's Batman and he'll stick to his principles. That's what makes him special.
They tried doing that in a movie recently. You know what happened when they let Batman kill people? We got "MARTHA"
I wonder if the Scarecrow hallucinations will return
Xavier Alvelo I hope so! If they do, they'll probably be crazy because of Scarecrow's new fear toxin.
Lestat de Lioncourt Lmao y'all had no idea two years ago. I mean ffs we saw the joker with the gas. Lmao
Ok gents, it's time for the ultimate poll: Which city you think might be the worst?
Gotham (Pre-Scarecrow) or Detroit in 55 years?
Jo Rap Detroit is basically Gotham now.
Jo Rap If Batman is protecting Gotham,then obviously it's Detroit.
Gotham is in Detroit anyone that knows batman,DC,or comics should know that....oh I get it 😂😂😂
Joshua Williams Yea I like the idea of Gotham & Metropolis being Midwestern cities, I'm tired of everything taking place in New York.
Jo Rap DETROIT AGAINST THE WORLD
This game came out in 2015 how does is still look this fucking good
I like the fact that to people who don't know much about batman and his rogue gallery outside of playing the arkham games, scarecrow returning as the big bad here would seem like the return of glup shitto or something considering how he was almost nothing in arkham asylum
I...I JUST...I JUST CAN'T DESCRIBE HOW HYPED I AM!
me too
Where is catwoman.
Oo, another silver, and yes I couldn't agree more omfg. I love how you could be her in Arkham City, if they don't implement that in the finale I'm going to be very cross. She better be in it.
She in my batcave
I thought you were in HER batcave
Mohammed Wayne Well, something happen
She will be in this game. Arkham Knight wants to hurt Batman so he should aim her and other people Batman cares. Gordon, Barbara, Tim, Alfred. Also Azrael must be in this game too. It's very likely that since Hush escaped, Talia died (or not... Immortal) and Selina doesn't know who is Batman under his mask (as shown in Arkham City tapes) that they will play some romantic thing like that comic Batman Hush Heart (something like this).
I wonder if Nightwing, Robin, and Catwoman are available to play as when fighting in the streets of Gotham.
They just need to fucking include the entire Bat-family.
Aokigahara Filmmusik I want to play as Azrael using his amazing suit.
I'd absolutely would *love* to play as Catwoman, Nightwing and Robin in this game. I at least hope they'll be included in the story.
This game is 9 years old, god of war 3 is 14 years old, both games still look amazing and haven't aged one bit ever since the PS3/PS4 era
Batman's best villains are the ones that challenge him mentally and psychologically.
''Over my dead body . Not over 30 fps. ''
I liked Arkham Knight, but there are 4 things that Rocksteady could have done to have made AK a true GOTY contender.
1. Tone WAAAAAAAAAAY down on the trashy drones and Batmobile sections.
2. Go with the Spider-Man: Web of Shadows story formula. Start with a hustling bustling city, complete with Batman stuff, civilians, and baddies. Then have an unknown threat make itself more apparent, where threat of city-wide destruction looms, causing Batman to investigate further while the city begins to panic. (The scene where Batman stops that chemical plant from exploding would be a good transition into the final act. Except this time, Batman gets knocked out for a couple hours by fear toxin or something) Finally, go full out chaos/apocalypse in Gotham. Few civvies left, thugs everywhere, and the city on fire.
3. Make the Arkham Knight a figment of Batman's imagination. Batman gets effected by Scarecrow's toxin somewhere in the second act, and imagine's a vicious foe who leads a militia into Gotham. Instead, Scarecrow is still the main baddy of the game, but Batman believes he is working with someone else. Keep the Joker mechanic in the game just to throw player's off. Hell, even leave the Jason Todd reveal at the end, and then have the Joker or somebody reveal Jason is also a figment of his imagination.
4. Add waaaaaaaaaay more character side quests.
GOTY right there.
+TheConspiratorist another thing, new villains, there were like only 2 new villains in the arkham verse, mr pyg and that holy guy dude, forgot his name
I wanted more villains but nope 60% of the is militia stuff
Amrit Singh his name was a Deacon Blackfire
5. Instead of Jason Todd, make Hush the Arkham Knight. Crane mentored Elliot in college when he was a professor so their alliance would make sense given their shared history. It could also provide more flexibility to the story making it all the more surprising when the reveal of the Arkham Knight's identity finally arrives.
I would like to see a flying vehicle for the batman to use along with his other motor vehicles besides his already teched out batmobille
***** batwing batrocket and batjet (only used in a comic when with wonder woman I think)
***** Batwing
Grey Tiger Gaming and the bat
id love that! they said its 5x bigger than arkham city map, so there should be plenty of room to fly around.
piplup2009 the bat what
I can’t believe this is still one of the best looking games to date
This game is the only reason I have an Xbox One. I can't wait.
