The only thing I was looking forward to during that Batmobile vs. Deathstroke tank fight was for Bats to pull him out of the tank and have Phase 2 of the fight be hand-to-hand. I wanted to dodge his sword swings and was completely expecting this to be a fast-reaction-time type of boss fight, but was completely let down to not even get to see him character model fight in action.
I wish we could have gotten a playable version of Deathstroke that used his sword like Batman uses Ra's sword against the Clayface spawn in Arkham City.
Now hear me out. What if in the original plot for Arkham city joker did everything just to get batman to kiss clayface and everything else is secondary 6:00 its probably a titan variant like the one in the scarecrow section in asylum
What I really miss from the games is taking down Calendar Man. Joker sets him free in the beginning of Origins and ridiculously he's never mentioned again, as if he would stay still on Christmas. We then get to hear just how messed up he is in city, where he can escape again as a relatively hidden feature. He finally makes a cameo at the end of Arkham Knight. It seems the CALENDAR Man also didn't do anything on Halloween...
According to the story you find in AK he had big plans for Halloween but Scarecrow's attack sidelined them. It does feel like they had more in mind for him originally though
I'd imagine a fight between them would be in stages. So first there would be a predator mission, taking out some thugs working for him. Then a brawl, then a boss fight similar to deathstroke from origins. Except using all the gadgets and tools
Slim Titan Joker fit him way more, he's not meant to go hand to hand with Batman, never was, stealth would've made sense for both Batman and Joker Asylum is about the Asylum's creepy environment, a stealth boss fight would've enhanced this, but I understand boss fights weren't even meant to be in the game, so we atleast there was even a Boss fight
@@foeinformI feel like the sewer titan made it seem much more repetitive. If it was the titan from the beginning, the 2 in the gardens and the 2 in the final boss fight it would be better. The sewer one felt redundant.
yes, I always see his rejected design and think: I'd would've been so sick if the Final boss was a reverse predator section, were we have to hide from this nightmarish slender joker in a very dark room
@@friendlyreaper9012, I didn’t even consider titan thugs bosses, hm. Just some buffed up enemies. The bosses were Poison Ivy, Bane (who acts almost like a titan thug though) and titan Joker. Killer Croc and his toothpick don’t really have their boss fights…
It would’ve been so creepy to have a stealth battle with a giant, lanky, spider-like Joker crawling around on the walls. Would’ve fit the game’s horror-influenced tone perfectly.
I can understand why hatter would be cut from asylum. Ultimately he and scarecrow have too much overlap in how their powers are represented in game with the hodgepodge level design.
3:23 note for this: I know the cut content is focused on the train, but for anyone curious the defusing bomb missions (or at least a variant of them) is reintroduced in the cold, cold heart dlc Edit; turns out it’s in the main game too, I forgo
@RafelChip I won't lie to you I don't know if it's in the base game or not but after you exit penguins final offer ship, anarky comes up on the big screen and spits out a speech. You then grapple to the screen and talk to one of his thugs who gives you the mission to disarm 3 bombs.
Meh, hush doesn't really fit to be the final boss. Scarecrow makes sense. Kinda wished croc's design was that of the asylum version and wished he was part of the main story instead of a DLC.
That's what I thought... but then Marvel's Spider-Man has a shit ton of terrorist attacks with the demons like... suicide vests n shit which is arguably worse. And that game is rated a 16.
@@BatteryAcid10 The Marvel's Spider-Man series is a lot less grounded than the batman Arkham series, which is probably why. There's also the fact that both games WERE MADE BY SEPERATE STUDIOS
Anyone else think the reasoning for removing zsasz is kinda dumb? At face value I understand and it makes sense but thinking about how these two character could interact and criticize each other, although they do very similar things they’re reasoning is somewhat different and having two similar but opposing villains with citizens stuck in the middle could be kinda interesting. Like imagine finding a pyg victim that has been tampered by zsasz and you have to uncover which villain did what or how pyg believes he’s making these people pretty before disposing them and how zsasz may view that as a selfish waste because he thinks killing them is saving them or zsasz critiquing pyg’s kills because he’s more experienced like a new guy vs veteran type of story. There’s a ton of nuance and freedom the writers could’ve had here. I’m not sure any of this has a history in the comics tho
What really sucks is that we never even got a follow up to the Suicide Squad tease from the end of Origins (and no I don't count the 2024 game as an actual follow up). Could've been a DLC campaign where you get to play as Deathstroke sent with the rest of the squad on a mission for Amanda Waller, and he escapes by the end of it.
Always love seeing videos looking into cut content, wish there was an alt universe/game where we could see all of the contents in their own unique games, and see if people are still such as fond to arkham
3:25 That moving train addition in Arkham Origins would've been so cool! I guess then Batman could've used the train to fast travel across the map apart from using the Batwing. I am sad that feature got removed.
Fun fact: the beta design of the explosive gel in Arkham Origins still appears in the final game. When Bane uses the TN-1 and Batman sprays gel around both of them, if you look close you can see it's the beta design.
I feel like the Fear Dart gadget may have had a similar effect on the thugs as the Remote Electrical Charge, causing thugs to turn on each other, though perhaps more brutally. Maybe Rocksteady just thought it felt out of character for Batman. 🤷
4:20. Honesty they should have added a DLC where the Joker was playable & you can destroy all the buildings & stuff in the dream sequence. Also joker would have a diverse move set not just the one gun. He can have a shotgun, machine guns & assault rifles & melee combat to his unique style. 15:25 Yes, that is a shame. If only they had more time!
Bulky gadgets or just alternative tools and methods would have been a nice to showcase the early struggles of Batman and a way to bring new changes to gameplay. The remote claw is a fun alternative to him lacking the standard line launcher to use for traversal (even though it's not his gadgets and has other purposes). It would probably take up even more time than was available. The suit design is the one thing they could have made less modern than his other suits unless you'd argue he had more armour because he wasn't as confident or didn't know to make a suit that was armored but less bulky since the previous arkham suits had a layer of armor in them.
0:41 Arkham Origins honestly a great game, but this is why it is hated. It was quite buggy and cause of this the suit was removed and crashed ocassionly. However I loved playing it great bosses and liked the younger batman.
honestly OG arkham asylum not having rain but guards and convicts wearing raincoats doesn't "seem lacking" it jsut feels like it was reaining when you were inside a building
On the Arkham Knight Zsasz absence or rather presence that Batman ignores thanks to both the riddle as well as the Oracle captured footage, I think it would've been pretty sweet if Batman did acknowledge his existence like if he said, "Zsasz! I'll have to keep an eye out for him... Now, where's Oracle..." or something. Essentially making Zsasz a more optional quest and I mean there should be other interactions possible to be found throughout the game such as the riddle featuring his victims and that helicopter crash if it did have anything to do with Zsasz. Basically, Zsasz's inclusion and ultimate arrest would be entirely up to the player. It would've been cool to have other villains being completely optional such as Anarky, Clayface, or Prometheus. Of course, the only real issue outside of them simply not being in the game is that these optional villains probably shouldn't be part of the 100% thing - maybe New Game Plus' 240% ending would require them but not the base game.
Honestly I was actually thinking that when it comes around to remastering Arkham Knight (if it happens), then maybe Zsasz could be a part of another season of infamy with other villians like the ones u mention
@@Logan_A3670 The one downside to the possibility of BAK being remastered is Conroy as it would quite strange for Batman to just not talk during another season of infamy. Possible solutions could be using old dialogue from various sources or changing who the player is. If the second, then maybe the choice could be left up to the player as in if Azrael is _not_ arrested then the player controls him. If he is arrested, then the player can be Nightwing, Robin, or Red Hood. Though, personally, if it's tagged on as a additional thing, then the two player characters (outside of Azrael) should be Nightwing or Robin. Nightwing, if the events take place during the main story and Robin, if soon after the game. Arguably, it would be rather funny, if any remaster contained a new playable combative character tied directly to a possible season of infamy such as Gordon or something.
I think Gotham Paladin said the next step for rocksteady might be to reboot the franchise but seeing all this cut content I think I'd be better to do remakes of the games where they could have all the cut content if not at least most of it so we'd be able to play what the original vision of these games were especially for Arkham Asylum since it would be nice to have the explorable light house and Chapel Rock which could increase the Gothic feel of AA and would have the opportunity for more lore and creepy details. But that's just a thought that probably won't happen
Hard to know if they will reboot it or not! Would be fun to see remakes of the games with cut content but honestly I highly doubt WB are bothered with them as WB want live service games but hopefully I’m wrong haha
I liked the arkham asylum face much better than the City Face. When i got city and played it in 2011 i thought straight away it looked weird seeing his face younger when its much after. Just a little critique, game was of course amazing
I have mixed feelings about Prometheus being cut. It would have been interesting to see an anti Batman going to battle the real deal, but I would have rathered it'd been the Wrath, since he's my favorite villain of that type.
Oh foeinform did not expect you to make a Arkham cut content video after about what I told you in the stream and also I left a great comment in the short where you talk about the bell tower in Arkham city you might like it have a great day and great video as always keep it up
I want to see a batman game where you choose your load out. Choices between armor or maneuverability, bulky powerful gadgets or compact and specific gadgets. Stealth, combat, boss fights that can end in multiple ways. I want freedom with the gadgets. Not just skins and every tool is invisible and is pulled out from behind the cape. I also want a suit that takes unique damage and needs to be repaired or replaced throughout the game. It would also be great to have sidekicks. When batman needs to leave the fight to get to the batmobile so he can rearm himself or change his load out for the boss fight coming up. An option to remove the cape to lower weight or because bosses/enemies keep grabbing it, leading to the research and development of batman beyond type wings/rocket assisted gliding. It would be an amazing batman beyond game.
If i had to guess a lot of stuff like the Knightmare suit and big clay monsters were cut due to animation issues, since rigs have to be shared between characters it was probably too much work to bother with giving the new enemies unique animation rigs
11:40 As somebody who's played a lot of arkham origins, I'm a bit surprised to hear this, but in the way that I've had thoughts about the gadget size a fair few amount of times throughout my playthroughs! Of course it is cosmetic, but I have often thought for at least certain gadgets especially when I receive them "dang, those look sorta small and fragile", at least when compared to batman's bulkily-armored hands lol. While I could definitely see it potentially hurting recognizability if not done quite right, I do agree it would've been very cool to have as a nice detail, and in my eyes almost seems a bit that batman using/holding gadgets seemed designed around bulkier gadgets.
Imagine if we got that gangly Joker in Arkham Asylum. Instead of a fighting pit on the roofs, it would start as a predator section in a map probably not used in the main game (like ones from the DLC). With enough strength and speed, Joker could leap around and hide around corners, calling in henchman to pan out the room. If not careful, he could climb up to vantage points and rip them off. Our goal is to damage him through Explosive Gel on walls or get the drop on him for a brutal takedown (at that stage, he wouldn’t be as strong as usual TITAN-infected). By the end, he fully transforms into his hulking mess, maybe a cutscene showing after the last takedown attempt so that he can either grab Batman or enter a chase sequence akin to the ending of Killer Croc’s lair. You run down the halls as he tries to snare you, leading to you grappling up to safety. However, the TITAN in your system begins to hit, leading you to keel over just as Joker grabs you from the dark. From that point, you’re led to the roof where you’ll enter a combat section.
With all the lore hunting you do in the games I so badly wanted to see Killer Moth, Great White Shark, and especially Prometheus. Prometheus would have been so much better of a villain then the Arkham knight
As much as i would have loved more gameplay as the joker having taken over batman, if it was only 5 minutes long and highscore based it would have gotten quite dull and the lack of that content makes that part of the game more special.
A quick note here along with some things I'd would've liked to have seen in the games, recently there's been rumours going around that Rocksteady is going to be remaking Asylum so maybe they'll bring in the cut content and maybe improve the bosses. I wonder what Paul Dini's version of Knight was going to be like? He helped write Asylum and City so a part of me wants to see his take on the story. If there's one thing I'd like to have seen more of from City it would be sword game play, instead of a real sword though maybe Batman would use a wooden practice sword which would be cool when fighting enemies that use blades. Origins in my mind could use a remaster as well since there's a lot of issues that could benefit from a clean up.
I hate collectibles in video games because they are just padding for a short game. I remember growing up, games had longer campaign stories. Today the stories are super short and they place collectibles to keep players in the game wasting hours.
Considering the thunder and lighting you can hear/see in the medical building in Arkham Asylum, I'm 100% convinced they wanted it to rain, but cut it pretty late in development. Seeing as the PC version has PhysX though, it seems a little odd that they didn't bother adding it into the PC version along with it.
Jesus! They were gonna have the first Arkham Game was gonna be much darker :O Also Im surprised Prometheus didnt make the final cut as hes hinted at in City and in Knight causing problems in Gotham.
tbh it woulda been cool to see them make dlc's for the return to arkham series i get they were just supposed to be remasters but it would be cool seeing a dlc for return to asylum where you had to go to that island or the lighthouse cus lets say killercroc has beenliving there being a really evil crocodile man or smth so we gotta do smth about it of course doesnt have to be like that the point is id like the idea of them making dlc's for the game that were scrapped idea's
Your color saturation on your TV seems high in Arkham Knight. There is a setting on TVs to turn off enhanced color. That setting makes your colors oversaturated, which will look less accurate.
@@LueLucifer I actually just applied a filter to the video that boosts saturation but only by a small bit because apparently it’s more engaging from what I heard- appreciate the feedback though!
@@foeinform More engaging? Not really, unless it's toddlers lol. Just leave the filter off for the video to look nicer. A lot of people wouldn't really care with filter on or off. I personally like it with the filter off.
You should def do a video on the Original Idea for the story of Arkham Knight. Apparently the writer of the first two games. Paul Dini who also wrote of the animated Series wanted Hush as the main villain not Scarecrow
I havent seen anyone else in the comments mentioning it, so 20:30 Arkham youtuber Atomsmith got his hands on that build of the game and has streamed/uploaded footage of this Bane fight
I actually just finished Arkham Origins, Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and I almost fully completed Arkham Knight as well as the DLC’s. but I lost all of my progress on these games due to a power surge that fried my PS5’s motherboard and my internet router. so rip.
Oh shoot, another arkham cut content video, only a few days after WrappingFist! released his own video on the same subject, just shows how much content the arkham series really has, wished we did get an arkham 5 with all this cut content
It’s crazy after all these years we still finding things that we didn’t know about before . I wish they didn’t cut those things and they were in the game .
In regards to the rain of Arkham Asylum, I think it was more so due to hardware limitation as opposed to limitations with Unreal Engine 3. I say this because Arkham Knight still runs on Unreal Engine 3, and it rains like nonstop
I think prometheus and black mask were supposed to be in season of infamy originally I’m sure but they cut black mask for the red hood pack and cut prometheus because they wanted the dlc to focus on returning villians and not introduce new ones. I also heard that bane and Anarky were supposed to be in that pack but that’s not confirmed
I think another reason why the lighthouse in Asylum was made inaccessible would've been the bridge. Going back and forth on a bridge isn't exactly fun, as Origins proved. Though, I doubt the bridge in Asylum would've been nearly as big as the one in Origins.
I love these games and I won’t lie when I say these games had so much potential wasted imo, and not just cut content but other things, lack of Prometheus is one, more bat family would been better, and while Origins story is good and the joker twist is pretty good I kinda wish he was a long elaborate side mission tho, and black mask been the main villain, same for scarecrow in knight what we got was amazing but wish we got more scarecrow screen time and less tank battles 😅
@@jasontodd1896 highly disagree, while by today joker has been over used…when each Arkham game was coming out it was fine and it still is…if u look at the Arkham verse as a whole with it being the relationship between Batman and joker, u start to appreciate it more…like I said people were upset that joker ended up being the main villain for origins but in hindsight while I wish it was actually black mask, it works and the twist was actually cool, even knight…joker in this continuity is best in knight becuz he’s a more psychology a threat like he should, it’s just a shame scarecrow to a backseat for most of it, and I don’t blame joker I blame Jason himself, see there’s was no need to have him at all, Arkham as a whole can be summed up as Good and great for what’s there but would could of had been is unfortunate “Arkham games are good but they can be better”

If the second, then maybe the choice could be left up to the player as in if Azrael is _not_ arrested then the player controls him. If he is arrested, then the player can be Nightwing, Robin, or Red Hood. Though, personally, if it's tagged on as a additional thing, then the two player characters (outside of Azrael) should be Nightwing or Robin. Nightwing, if the events take place during the main story and Robin, if soon after the game. Arguably, it would be rather funny, if any remaster contained a new playable combative character tied directly to a possible season of infamy such as Gordon or something.
There is a cut line where Batman would acknowledge Zsasz, while looking at the footage
Severe missed opportunity, not including Zsasz in the Seasons of infamy. Having him be a side-mission like in Arkham City would have been fine.
@@J__Tto my understanding, most of the lines Batman would say already exist somewhere
The moving trains in origins would have been so cool
13:03 he did have a riddle about him where that image appeared!
I think Gotham Paladin said the next step for rocksteady might be to reboot the franchise but seeing all this cut content I think I'd be better to do remakes of the games where they could have all the cut content if not at least most of it so we'd be able to play what the original vision of these games were especially for Arkham Asylum since it would be nice to have the explorable light house and Chapel Rock which could increase the Gothic feel of AA and would have the opportunity for more lore and creepy details. But that's just a thought that probably won't happen
Hard to know if they will reboot it or not!
Would be fun to see remakes of the games with cut content but honestly I highly doubt WB are bothered with them as WB want live service games but hopefully I’m wrong haha
I just want an "Arkham's Future" that follows Terry McGinnis.
I liked the arkham asylum face much better than the City Face. When i got city and played it in 2011 i thought straight away it looked weird seeing his face younger when its much after. Just a little critique, game was of course amazing
14:10 oh if they only felt that way about the riddler
9:25 that's fucking genius that would actually make me wanna see the end credit, all end credits should end like this
Why did they cut this, are they stupid?
No I think the jonkler did a little tinkle and took these from us😞
@@MuchDrOrange
Is there a lore reason for why they had to cut all this content?
I wish we had the original Bruce Wayne face model in that first ever Arkham Knight trailer I think that was the best ever Bruce Wayne looked
20 seconds in, your funny inflection is stuck in my head, all my thoughts sound like this now. YOU DID THIS TO ME
Taking out the dev team to then be informed about that developer would have been really cool
We definitely need a batman arkham asylum directors cut release (remake) witht the cut content
Lol yeah that’s not happening bud
@Dachin55555 Hey guys we got someone from the future here
@@ConnorMccloud25 yessir I am from the future baby whoooo!!!
We getting a remake supposedly
@@klfganims9561 It's a maybe but I'm pretty sure that got debunked the day after but it would be cool to see
Your video quality has majorly improved over the past few months, good work!
Thanks really appreciate it! Sorry for the late response I didn’t get your notification!
I have mixed feelings about Prometheus being cut. It would have been interesting to see an anti Batman going to battle the real deal, but I would have rathered it'd been the Wrath, since he's my favorite villain of that type.
Oh foeinform did not expect you to make a Arkham cut content video after about what I told you in the stream and also I left a great comment in the short where you talk about the bell tower in Arkham city you might like it have a great day and great video as always keep it up
Thanks really appreciate it I'll definitely have a look at what you said!
@@foeinformit is heartwarming and it’s on your 5 short that you made 3 months ago
That def team combat credits would be wild
I never thought about how everyone in Arkham Asylum was wearing raincoats. Definitely didn't notice it actually wasn't raining.
Very good video, but I feel like making separate sections for origins, asylum, city and knight.
17:17 in return to arkham in sure there is rain
17:53 nvm
@@justarandomuser12520no problem!
Instead we just got Joker being the final boss almost every game straight 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s only a final boss in asylum though isn’t he??? And if you want to count the crime alley sequence in knight
I could’ve sworn the nightmare batman skin was in the game i remember trying to unlock it on the xbox360
I want to see a batman game where you choose your load out. Choices between armor or maneuverability, bulky powerful gadgets or compact and specific gadgets. Stealth, combat, boss fights that can end in multiple ways. I want freedom with the gadgets. Not just skins and every tool is invisible and is pulled out from behind the cape. I also want a suit that takes unique damage and needs to be repaired or replaced throughout the game. It would also be great to have sidekicks. When batman needs to leave the fight to get to the batmobile so he can rearm himself or change his load out for the boss fight coming up. An option to remove the cape to lower weight or because bosses/enemies keep grabbing it, leading to the research and development of batman beyond type wings/rocket assisted gliding. It would be an amazing batman beyond game.
14:17 there is a deleted voice from Batman and he mentions Zsasz
If i had to guess a lot of stuff like the Knightmare suit and big clay monsters were cut due to animation issues, since rigs have to be shared between characters it was probably too much work to bother with giving the new enemies unique animation rigs
I believe the train shave been in Arkham origins because it would have made the game more detailed and realistic
True! I think some argued that it wouldn’t make sense during a snow storm but it would have been cool to see
20:40 That's just... that's Left 4 Dead. It's Left 4 Dead's climax levels except with Bane rather than an undead Tank.
Fighting ALL BRUTES in the final boss would be so cool. I would like to see the ending of a sword beatdown
Yeah that would be really fun!
If they delayed Arkham Knight to have the bat family playable in open world it would’ve gotten even more sales.
11:40 As somebody who's played a lot of arkham origins, I'm a bit surprised to hear this, but in the way that I've had thoughts about the gadget size a fair few amount of times throughout my playthroughs! Of course it is cosmetic, but I have often thought for at least certain gadgets especially when I receive them "dang, those look sorta small and fragile", at least when compared to batman's bulkily-armored hands lol. While I could definitely see it potentially hurting recognizability if not done quite right, I do agree it would've been very cool to have as a nice detail, and in my eyes almost seems a bit that batman using/holding gadgets seemed designed around bulkier gadgets.
Imagine if we got that gangly Joker in Arkham Asylum. Instead of a fighting pit on the roofs, it would start as a predator section in a map probably not used in the main game (like ones from the DLC). With enough strength and speed, Joker could leap around and hide around corners, calling in henchman to pan out the room. If not careful, he could climb up to vantage points and rip them off. Our goal is to damage him through Explosive Gel on walls or get the drop on him for a brutal takedown (at that stage, he wouldn’t be as strong as usual TITAN-infected).
By the end, he fully transforms into his hulking mess, maybe a cutscene showing after the last takedown attempt so that he can either grab Batman or enter a chase sequence akin to the ending of Killer Croc’s lair. You run down the halls as he tries to snare you, leading to you grappling up to safety. However, the TITAN in your system begins to hit, leading you to keel over just as Joker grabs you from the dark. From that point, you’re led to the roof where you’ll enter a combat section.
With all the lore hunting you do in the games I so badly wanted to see Killer Moth, Great White Shark, and especially Prometheus. Prometheus would have been so much better of a villain then the Arkham knight
As much as i would have loved more gameplay as the joker having taken over batman, if it was only 5 minutes long and highscore based it would have gotten quite dull and the lack of that content makes that part of the game more special.
Yeah true i agree! Especially if it was only planned to have 1 map originally also
Awesome video bro
Thanks Evan appreciate it!
13:36 What's that place?
Is he gonna slit his own throat afterwards.
Between his cheeks?! 😂
@@LueLucifer 😂😂
In all seriousness it's to finish the tally mark on his head. The diagonal dash
Arkham Origins online was awesome and needed Penguin and Two Face gangs
If sefton does another q&a someone should ask him about making a batman beyond game.
A quick note here along with some things I'd would've liked to have seen in the games, recently there's been rumours going around that Rocksteady is going to be remaking Asylum so maybe they'll bring in the cut content and maybe improve the bosses. I wonder what Paul Dini's version of Knight was going to be like? He helped write Asylum and City so a part of me wants to see his take on the story. If there's one thing I'd like to have seen more of from City it would be sword game play, instead of a real sword though maybe Batman would use a wooden practice sword which would be cool when fighting enemies that use blades. Origins in my mind could use a remaster as well since there's a lot of issues that could benefit from a clean up.
I use explosive gel so much especially for mini gunners every wall is a free kill pretty much
I hate collectibles in video games because they are just padding for a short game. I remember growing up, games had longer campaign stories. Today the stories are super short and they place collectibles to keep players in the game wasting hours.
The art of Carlos DAnda is just amazing✨❤
I love Batman arkhammm
Me too Alfred
Alfred didnt I say to analyse scarecrows fear toxin
@@foeinform *explodes in 'omg was that a reply?'*
@@Thedarkknight27474 is that meant to be an Alfred Pennyworth joke...?
@@alfred2744yes very
Considering the thunder and lighting you can hear/see in the medical building in Arkham Asylum, I'm 100% convinced they wanted it to rain, but cut it pretty late in development.
Seeing as the PC version has PhysX though, it seems a little odd that they didn't bother adding it into the PC version along with it.
Jesus! They were gonna have the first Arkham Game was gonna be much darker :O Also Im surprised Prometheus didnt make the final cut as hes hinted at in City and in Knight causing problems in Gotham.
tbh it woulda been cool to see them make dlc's for the return to arkham series i get they were just supposed to be remasters but it would be cool seeing a dlc for return to asylum where you had to go to that island or the lighthouse cus lets say killercroc has beenliving there being a really evil crocodile man or smth so we gotta do smth about it of course doesnt have to be like that the point is id like the idea of them making dlc's for the game that were scrapped idea's
Ngl I think the dev team beat up woulda been badass especially as a way to give them credit
Your color saturation on your TV seems high in Arkham Knight. There is a setting on TVs to turn off enhanced color. That setting makes your colors oversaturated, which will look less accurate.
@@LueLucifer I actually just applied a filter to the video that boosts saturation but only by a small bit because apparently it’s more engaging from what I heard- appreciate the feedback though!
@@foeinform More engaging? Not really, unless it's toddlers lol. Just leave the filter off for the video to look nicer. A lot of people wouldn't really care with filter on or off. I personally like it with the filter off.
@@LueLuciferyeah speaking to a bunch of RUclipsrs they say they do it so thought I would too 😅
9:17 idk why but i find this part so sad that it couldnt make it
You should def do a video on the Original Idea for the story of Arkham Knight. Apparently the writer of the first two games. Paul Dini who also wrote of the animated Series wanted Hush as the main villain not Scarecrow
I havent seen anyone else in the comments mentioning it, so 20:30
Arkham youtuber Atomsmith got his hands on that build of the game and has streamed/uploaded footage of this Bane fight
My life as a teenage robot mentioned!!!!!! Goated show
Love how we still get game info years later. Great job, how did you do it?
I actually just finished Arkham Origins, Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and I almost fully completed Arkham Knight as well as the DLC’s. but I lost all of my progress on these games due to a power surge that fried my PS5’s motherboard and my internet router. so rip.
Oh shoot, another arkham cut content video, only a few days after WrappingFist! released his own video on the same subject, just shows how much content the arkham series really has, wished we did get an arkham 5 with all this cut content
It’s crazy after all these years we still finding things that we didn’t know about before . I wish they didn’t cut those things and they were in the game .
In regards to the rain of Arkham Asylum, I think it was more so due to hardware limitation as opposed to limitations with Unreal Engine 3. I say this because Arkham Knight still runs on Unreal Engine 3, and it rains like nonstop
Joker : " I can take anything
you throw at me batz are you ready for the next round ? "
Batman : " always I'l
l never let you win . "
I think prometheus and black mask were supposed to be in season of infamy originally I’m sure but they cut black mask for the red hood pack and cut prometheus because they wanted the dlc to focus on returning villians and not introduce new ones. I also heard that bane and Anarky were supposed to be in that pack but that’s not confirmed
I think another reason why the lighthouse in Asylum was made inaccessible would've been the bridge. Going back and forth on a bridge isn't exactly fun, as Origins proved. Though, I doubt the bridge in Asylum would've been nearly as big as the one in Origins.
Weird i thought worst knightmare was a playable skin in origins.. butterfly effect
2:16 i mean this make sense if they are trying to make another Arkham game with Damian
is there a lore reason to why these got cut out
Im sure they will remake these games at some point. It would be cool if they added some of the cut content when they do
I love these games and I won’t lie when I say these games had so much potential wasted imo, and not just cut content but other things, lack of Prometheus is one, more bat family would been better, and while Origins story is good and the joker twist is pretty good I kinda wish he was a long elaborate side mission tho, and black mask been the main villain, same for scarecrow in knight what we got was amazing but wish we got more scarecrow screen time and less tank battles 😅
Joker destroyed the Arkham franchise
@@jasontodd1896 highly disagree, while by today joker has been over used…when each Arkham game was coming out it was fine and it still is…if u look at the Arkham verse as a whole with it being the relationship between Batman and joker, u start to appreciate it more…like I said people were upset that joker ended up being the main villain for origins but in hindsight while I wish it was actually black mask, it works and the twist was actually cool, even knight…joker in this continuity is best in knight becuz he’s a more psychology a threat like he should, it’s just a shame scarecrow to a backseat for most of it, and I don’t blame joker I blame Jason himself, see there’s was no need to have him at all, Arkham as a whole can be summed up as Good and great for what’s there but would could of had been is unfortunate “Arkham games are good but they can be better”
HOLY FUCK I didn't know the "Ploob" guy wrote Asylum's story
