For the "why doesn't Killer Croc just leave since he's in the sewer" question, I've been under the assumption that his collar would shock him if he got too far away from the island.
The only problem with that is I get the feeling that Croc would actually push the issue until the battery died if he actually decided to leave. There must be some kind of security over the sewers otherwise he'd just endure the shock collar until the battery fails.
The only problem with any explanation about why Croc doesn't just use the sewers to escape, is that he ends up using the sewers to escape. His cameo in Arkham City even happens in a sewer. (And out of the collar?? Can't remember.) My guess is that Croc stays in Arkham (or in its sewer anyway) because he chooses to. I have no reason from the game(s) to believe this, that I can recall, but it's the only answer that makes sense of the information.
Oddly enough it's an island Batman and Commissioner Gordon can drive to. . . So it's an island prison/hospital for the criminally insane with a highway leading to it from the mainland. It makes sense that a prison for insane super criminals known for having a revolving door has a convenient roadway to escape on.
Fenris30 even better probably because she had access to a lot while joker was prisoner in 1 room and didn’t have time to check everytime he was escaping from Arkham asylum.
@@DegenerateJay and for the last on e the reason they don't escape because if they do they know Batman will come and arrest them so the reason they stay is to make show batman is dead so no can stop them and like you said the police are not good at there jobs
@@DegenerateJay Well if they have full control of the asylum, who said they didnt go fetch their personal belongings? The question is "why arent they all wearing their regular clothes they were admitted in". They have control. If its available on the island, they have access to it
Just a real question. If black gate is burned down, if Arkham asylum was destroyed and Arkham city was closed down where do all the prisoners and villains now go.
James Vorster I assume other cities in this universe have max security prisons, so they could be transferred there. The GCPD also has its own mini-prison as seen in Arkham Knight.
@@stuvros1 After Arkham City was closed down they had to let the inmates go, because Dr Strange and Quincy Sharp had violated loads of civil rights and arrested some of the inmates with falsified evidence.
As a biopsychologist specializing in psychopharmachology, it's conceivable he just got access to some drugs on site and developed a makeshift version of his toxin. Still, perhaps the easiest explanation to this is that Joker literally planned the trap for Batman. It's very likely his plan included providing the necessary materials for Crane to make his toxin.
"Why is there no Batman surveillance?" You're right CBR, it's not like there's a satellite Batcave built into the island or anything. Maybe he should have done that.
@John Wick honestly, at this point, I don't even think they have the money to fly/ship the prisoners anywhere. Like, I'm almost certain the entirety of Gotham is funded with 3 dollars and some pocket lint. In all seriousness, my guess would probably be something along the lines of both bruce/batman pulling some strings to keep them all close, and something along the lines of there being the risk of them escaping during transport or something? Idk.
Swim out of the island? Ever heard of the criminals that tried to swim off of Alcatraz? Yep they died because of the freezing water and the violence of the waves. Good luck swimming off arkham island
Yes. She said it in the game too. In those tape logs, I believe. Game was epic, along with the sequel "Arkham City" was / is one of the best Batman games ever made.
Exactly. And it’s not like she might’ve even had to do it all herself, because as we say with Officer BOLES!, he has connections to people on the inside as well as her.
Actually Batman's response to Barbara when she asked him how he got a Batcave on Arkham Island was "It's me. Remember?" He might as well have just said "because I'm Batman."
Next CBR issues with the game: - How can Batman just return to life after you fail a mission? - Why does Batman see blue indicators of enemies' attacks? - How can it all happen in one night even if you play for 20 hours?
"Mainstream" gaming sites are awful. They are forced to put out a ton of content every day so a lot of it is just BS they made up so they can fulfill their quota. Their reviews are not trustworthy because they seem to over rate a lot of games in order to stay in developers/publishers good graces so they get more review codes in the future. Developers/Publishers can be very easily offended and will stop sending review codes to reviewers who give low scores to their games on a semi-regular basis. It's not something that should be allowed to happen, but it does and it effects review scores all the time.
Kinda unrelated but I’ve Been seeing a lot of comments saying that the story in Arkham city was terrible. I honestly don’t understand how anyone can think that.
Wendy'sMarioActionFigure 1 if you ask me Arkham Asylum has the worst story. The Joker escapes and Batman has to catch him. What makes all this silly is because the Joker was in front of Batman the entire time but Batman didn’t know at all because the game prevents you from using detective mode when you go inside the building
6:50 There is actual in game evidence of where Jason Todd was in held Arkham Asylum. (However I doubt Rocksteady planned this far ahead.) In the West Wing section of the Arkham Mansion there is a room with a Scarecrow audio reel. The room is full of debris and is only accessible via ultra-batclaw at the end of the game. To back this up Jason Todd literally says "You left me in that abandoned WING at Arkham."
I think Jason was being tortured during the Jokers free time as controlling Arkham asylum since they’re are drawings on the walls and some cells. And then kept him after The events and then when Joker was healed they took Jason back to be tortured and killed.
It also explains why the Spirit of Arkham circles appear during the Jason scenes in Arkham Knight. They only appear on the spirit of arkham tablets and in Amadeus's room. You can also see in the Amadeus cell that there are a ton of books neatly stacked and a wheelchair with a moving wheel as if they were recently used. The same wheelchair makes an appearance in the Jason flashback as well.
@@jackmcguffin1572 did you even watch the video?? He mentions the Arkham Knight Genesis comic, he escaped during the jokers party at the end of the game thanks to Deathstroke
@@fugit1vegaming397 In the book "The Art of Rocksteadys Batman", they explain that Crane sews up different pieces of inmate clothes to make his costume.
and harley is dressed in some nurse uniform she probably turned bad as that game happened I mean he office is in the game with joker pics and a in progress of her actual suit so it was only joker and scarecrow
for me the message screens seem like something they play to help pass inspections or something, like part of a facade to make it seem like its a really pristine and devoted institution
Regarding item #13, I worked for a company that was trying very hard to be more profitable by cutting costs. Yet they still had the budget to install some big screen TVs to show off a loop of the future of the company. Seeing it in real life, I can totally see it happening in a video game.
A defense of poison ivy's outfit: Her skin is literally toxic, all she has to do is will it, and her body produces a deadly venom that kills or incapacitates on contact with unprotected skin. Unless the city is willing to pony up for hazmat suits for the sole purpose of making sure one prisoner conforms to the dress code, it's impossible to compel her to wear anything she doesn't want to. And that's leaving aside the ethical concern that her body is photosynthetic, and making her wear too much would literally starve her to death. That's why the lights in her cell are a different colour, to supress her photosynthetic properties thus making her easier to control. By the same token, blocking her ability to photosynthesise entirely could ethically and legally be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
That sounds like comic book reasoning bullshit just to have a half naked ivy. I mean I’m not complaining but I’m not gonna defend it either. It’s like the video game equivalent of anime fan service
@@valentai_777You'll get no argument from me, I just figured, if you're going to bash on it, then the in-lore justification for it ought to be addressed too.
17:50 also at the start of the game the guards said that Batman shouldn't be there as he might "Set off some of the more violent inmates". So it's not like he was really allowed there, more so that he escorted Joker in because he felt that "Something wasn't right".
There is literally a organization that tracks down "doctors" who break the Hippocratic Oath. Yes, there are so many cases where "doctors" (And I use quotes because some criminals fake their ID. Kind of what Joker did when talking to two-face in the dark knight trilogy.) That kill their patients.
That is one thing that shocked me when I put it together in the timeline. During Arkham Asylum, Jason was hidden away somewhere in a secret room that batman never went to. Gives you a couple of creepy thoughts. 1) During the large segments of time that you dont see the Joker in the first game, he might have gone to visit Jason. 2) Batman might have walked directly over Jason's head at some point during that night...so close yet so far away.
Scroll up someone made a cool paragraph about Jason escaping Amadeus’ cell when the chaos happens. If that’s true,then the whole Arkham series is a really deep story
I'm pretty sure that the Arkham staff(particularly Penny Young's group) use the Titan Research Facility at their disclosure to manufacture Titan. Also, you do see Croc at the end credits scene in Asylum, confirming his escape, but it is revealed later on in Arkham City that Bane's ending was the canonical one, preserving the fact that the Arkham Sewers were closed off.
I’ve noticed a bunch of sites like this either post stuff to fill quotas, or because they have possibly skipped every cutscene and bit of lore just to get an article out. Because of lot of what was on the list is either hinted at or directly talked about, but you either have to search for it or pay attention to the cutscene (which you wouldn’t know if you skipped it sort of cutscene) so I’m pretty sure a bunch of these sights either halfway finish the game or skip every cutscene trying to get an article out
They can't even had played other than the demo. Wayne has no security? Did you check what brand the stuff had you destroyed with the cryptic scentographer or whatever it was called? Did you notice a name among it that constantly was there, a name like Wayne? Are you really that dense you don't think Bruce Wayne has means to use it to his advantage when he has a screen available, or to send update patches? A minor effort when playing or experience the game would turn that list to 1 single question: why are the vents so huge a grown man can fit them?
@@zilvertron even bigger question. How in the name of God did the Riddler get half of these trophies where they are. Like one being 20 feet off the ground on the ceiling, like did a police officer/ Riddler glue it and just toss it at the ceiling hoping for the best? Or concrete walls 50 feet off the ground that you have to pull out to get behind them.
Alfred Hinton I hope the next Arkham game has a daylight cycle so that you can play as the bat family in day time as their normal selves or as their hero counterpart.
In regards to the escape thing. Joker even states himself in the beginning of the game, quote "I don't want to escape I'm having way too much fun, I even have you here to keep a smile on my face." So that question was already answered by the game if only the person writing this article actually paid attention during the first 5 minutes of the game! 🤣
Arkham asylum is by far my favourite game, mainly because of the nostalgia when you play it after years and the amount of classic villains you get to face, love your vids jay
@@I_Play_Vic20 If I can answer that from my viewpoint. Playing the same game constantly in short periods is a sure fire way to get really tired/bored of it. It's obviously a matter of being in the right mood. Some don't mind replying the same game often. Others are satisfied after a playthrough, moving on to other things, and coming back later.
Ivys coat has an Arkham symbol on it, Harley is shown in the lore getting into the asylum before the events of the game, zassz has cut up his uniform so that he’s shirtless, and scarecrow probably stole his gear after joker got to the medical center. There’s the explanation.
Wrt the complaint about the info announcements in the medical ward, this actually adds realism to the game because they explicitly say that it’s regarding outpatient treatment, and in real life mental hospitals which are equipped to house criminal commitments will often have that be just one part of the facility, and the rest being for non-criminal mental health commitments and treatment.
All of the inmates were wearing their prison cloths, the ivy jacket is an arkham one, bane is arkham pants and shirt(he probably protested removing bus mask), joker and harley are the only ones not and it makes sense
Also note, I think its the Treatment Center that has a plaque for Bruce Wayne donating funds to it for renovations. It's not impossible to think he took advantage of that to sneak in equipment to setup the Arkham Island Batcave. Would explain the random empty boxes around the cave too....
20: about the costumes: the asylum didn’t have enough time to put joker in the outfit. With other villains, they might’ve gone into normal clothes after Jokers first step was completed.
For Robin and Nightwing, Robin is protecting Gotham while Batman is at the Asylum. It's also implied that a lot of criminals escaped the asylum during during the Arkham riot so there needs to be SOMEONE to intercept the criminals. If you ask why Robin wasn't going after Two-Face around the end of the game, you could chalk it down that he was busy chasing another bad guy at the time. Two-Face could've just escaped prison after Batman caught him off screen after Arkham Asylum. Happens all the time. I read somewhere that the reason why Harley Quinn was loose at the start of asylum is because she was deemed sane by the faculty and was allowed to walk around and help out.
I know this is late, but in regards to Nightwing and Robin, doesn't the game LITERALLY say Joker claims to have bombs all over Gotham, and if anyone (i believe his words were 'police or caped crusaders') attempt to make their way onto the island he'll detonate the bombs? I always took that to mean they are 1) afraid to take the risk by calling Joker's bluff 2) Were busy looking for the bombs to disable them.
People can admit themselves to Arkham Asylum in the Arkhamverse. It is addressed by those same monitors/speakers in the area where you rescue the three doctors. The speaker begins saying something like "While Arkham Asylum has become synonymous with the various so-called super criminals incarcerated in the Asylum, Arkham also hosts a state of the art in-patient treatment center which accepts most major insurance plans."
A lot of the conclusions the author came up with almost seem like they are based off someone else's summaries of the game and not their own experience of it
The number 1 reason, "Easy escape plan" was so stupid. Joker intentionally let himself get caught by Batman in order to enact his entire plan that was in the making for a significant amount of time. Sometimes you have to question these lists and the reason why they are putting them out there, mostly for clickbait as you say. Great video Jay with dissecting all the baits laid out in the article, you really are a fantastic mass de-baiter.
Oh my god just leave this old amazing and beloved game alone! They annoy me, but whatever. I still love the game, and no one can change my mind about it. The game is what got me into Batman. Anyways, I love the rebuttal you give. Keep it up Jay! Happy Holidays to you if I don’t say it later!
Cringe, people can make criticisms of games, although these ones were mostly shit, stop tying your life to a video game. I could make plenty of video games, although I give video games more benefit of the doubt in terms of writing and plot holes since they have to weave gameplay into it aswell. But there are plenty of valid criticisms of the narrative of the 4 games I could make, although they are still great games
Wait a minute... are the people at CBR asking why Arkham Asylum [the place] is lacking in security? Arkham Asylum? The almost medieval and dungeon like prison? The one in the city with the corrupt system? The same place where we got Harley Quinn and [possibly, I can't remember] Scarecrow?!
The cotsume one for every other villian can be explained as them just grabbing their stuff after the riot or some of the people being to scared to make them change
These videos would be much more pleasant to watch if the topics you are talking about are actually shown through gameplay clips. i understand that would take a lot more editing, but the point about costumes could def use a clip to "remind" us of how Ivy pulls off that outfit.
Also not all the prisoners were their remember Joker bragged about destroying the prison for normal convicts. More or less saying he burned the prison severely or as he called it a horrible accident. The prisoners were moved to the asylum likely while the repairs to the jail were being done. As for Harley we dont know how many years after Origins did she turn evil. She could of just concealed it until the events in Asylum she is crazy as hell but shes not without her intelligence.
We also need Rocksteady games based on other DC comic book heroes- Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Booster Gold, Blue Beetle, Green Arrow and Black Canary, Martian Manhunter, Static Shock, The Atom, Captain Marvel/Shazam, Plastic Man, The Justice League, Justice League Dark, The Teen Titans, The New God's, The Justice Society, ect... No offense. But I'm sick to death of B man and seeing him take on the same bad guys over and over. Unless you give us A Batman that gives something new in terms of a plot and story. And has him taking on new bad guys that haven't been used in the Arkham games yet. Don't waste time and energy demanding more Batman stuff (Some variety would be much appreciated).
@@dylansmith5206 I don't disagree with you. All the Batman games felt fairly similar. Although i did really enjoy Arkham knight he was just a well made villain in my eyes and id argue better than the others mainly because he was someone you could feel bad for. In terms of other games, i don't think Rocksteady could pull it off. I'm happy to be proven wrong but i don't see them pulling off the heroes with super powers i.e. superman, wonder woman etc. Maybe they could do a Green Arrow, but how they could make it without feeling like another batman game, i don't know. That said I'm not sure u can pull off a Superman stand alone game because he is either overpowered or nothing. Obviously he does have his matches, lex, zod etc. But i don't wanna see a superman boss rush game. u cant make superman fight thugs it wouldn't be fun. That said i am ignorant to the source, Maybe u can make a viable superman game. I haven't read the comics. But most of what I've seen makes him a powerhouse unless kryptonite or maybe damsel in distress. I think superman works better in terms of a movie or comic but not as an interactive experience like a game.
I don't know why anyone is surprised Arkham's security sucks. You can put whatever kind of tech you want in there but as long as the staff can be bought(Bowles), perform illegal experiments on the patients(Young), become villains (Harley and Scarcrow), are severely injured(Cash), are murdered(Zsasz's doctor), or are serial killers who think they're the spirit of the original founder of the asylum(Sharp) it's never going to function.
On the Jason Todd thing, it's even worse for the author, because in the comic you mentioned, Arkham Knight Genesis, it's revealed Jason escapes at the end of the events of that game with the help of Deathstroke. He's being held in an abandoned wing of Arkham that Batman never visits during the game and Joker has access to by paying off Arkham Guards to give him so many minutes with Jason at a time, before people become suspicious of his whereabouts. Hence why whenever I play through that game now, after reading all the side comics, it always has a strange sombre feel to it.
I don't think poison ivys outfit is all that outlandish. It's an arkham issued button up that she wears provocatively, which is her gimmick. She's supposed to be hot.
Dude, most of the villans are literally wearing Arkham branded clothes, even Ivy. Like, the first point is actually completely moot especially if you wanna say that scarecrow made his outfit right after joker broke em all out, besides it was shown in an easter egg that scarecrow had a secret hideout in asylum. That first reason is kind of garbage.
CBR writers love to nitpick everything, I’ve read articles from them whereas they’ve picked at something so much, they’re literally pulling tiny things out and start spewing nonsense about it because they’ve not looked at the whole story/ thing they’re talking about
For the how did Batman get a cave built in Arkham Asylum: After the Knightfall comic in which Bane broke Batman's back, Batman built many Batcaves around Gotham so that he could never be caught off guard again. So during No Man's Land he uses those caves to restock resources and without those he would never be able to defeat the villains because he would be to far from the Batcave or Wayne Manor in order to restock. So there are "bunkers" in the Subway of Arkham City (Which you cant enter) Wayne Tower, Slums of Gotham, Crime Alley, Gotham Park, Warehouse.
During the events of asylum, you can see a tag that says "Ra's Al Ghul" meaning R'as was dead for a time but more so you can see a wheelchair on the floor with wheels moving in that abandoned wing portion of Arkham Asylum, most likely Jason only died what almost possibly a year or a few years before the events of asylum took place but Ra's likely had Jason revived via the Lazarus pit but Jason only was gradually retaining his composure besides being broken, and during the gap between games Jason was likely training the milita that we'd see in Arkham Knight.
Jason never actually died in this universe. When Joker shot him, he was immediately saved by some doctors Joker had ready immediately after finishing that recording for Batman
@@eddiediaz5518 An you back that up? As what's more plausible is that Ra's al Ghul had Jason in a near death state taken to where the league of assassins are, had him treated and from there with resources from Ra's, Jason formed the militia
I just remembered that Victor Zsasz doesn't wear a shirt either, but that could be just to satisfy him by still being able to see his tally Mark's, I dunno
Lol yeah sometimes my stutter messes up pronunciations too I've learned to roll with it. My dad used to also say MASHURE for measure and that made me cringe every time.
9:22 In both jail and prison, they actually have big high definition flat screens for inmates to watch TV in the day room, but the guards choose what channel it's on. When I was there it was either Oprah or golf. Also when you're being booked they show this informative video about rape and violence in jail and how to address it if you become a victim of either... Yeah not a nice place lmao...
Helping your argument with my own thoughts you didn't bring up. #20, ivy does wear an arkham asylum button up shirt and bane is wearing jump suit pants like croc. The only real one their accurate about is scarecrow, but he could've gotten them back Harley took over. #19, joker had arkham guard, frank boles, Dr yung, and eventually Harley under his payroll (which also helps #12). So it wouldn be too surprising if fiddler had a few guards under his. #11, Bruce could have always taken advantage of times arkham asylum had to have been renovated for new security systems and such to have put equipment in the arkham cave. Also, if Dr Young can make titan labs in the botanical gardens without most of the other guards, doctors, and warden sharp knowing, surely batman can secretly make a new batcave #1, they really talked about movie, the rock? They are aware alcatraz was a real prison, right? (cbr is now really pissing me off) Only a few people have possibly escaped, but there's no evidence to support it. I could into all the reasons why alcatraz was a successful prison, but I think even Mythbusters has covered this well.
One possible explanation is, at least for the first two Arkham games, nobody in universe really thought too much of Harley Quinn, and she's used that fact a couple of times quite effectively throughout the series: Including the times she stole Freeze's cure in City, as well as breaking into one of Batman's headquarters in Knight, both times while he was busy with what he at the time considered to be larger threats.
Dude. Your theory about Bruce funding for the Asylum's renovation, when you enter the Medical Facility, you'll notice a board that literally says Bruce Wayne donated to the organization.
In Arkham Knight, when Jason todd is getting tortured, you can look at the floor and see symbols of amadeus, and Jason Todd is on a wheelchair in most of the cutscenes, note the symbols. In Arkham Asylum you can go to a room filled with symbols, however it is just empty, once you come back after you finish the story, you can see a wheelchair there, and the wheel rolling. I would say Jason was getting tortured around the time Arkham Asylums events were rolling, and Joker was proceeding his plans, but I dont think it contributes to the timeline. There is a video explaining it more in depth. I can find and it copy the link here if you want me to do so.
Isn't Ivy wearing a prison shirt? It certainly isn't her classic uniform in any sense. Harley was busy pre-taking the Asylum, and from her dialogue hints she has just put on her "new outfit, pretty hot, huh?" Scarecrow is perhaps the most indefensible: his outfit doesn't seem quite ad hoc enough, but it's still more practical than a lot of his traditional garb.
Ivy's is like a weird Satin shirt or silky (idk) with the Arkham logo on it's back. It's like a prison/personal hybrid that to my knowledge only she is shown to have. Doesn't mean it wasn't inmate clothes technically since it is Arkham branded and I doubt she'd just throw that on.
The characters still in costume and Arkham asylum are joker: who just got there. Harley: who snuck in. And scarecrow: who made his out of scraps found throughout the asylum.
Well inmates just broken out are going to wear whatever's available, not they can go to Sears. I do wonder why the thugs after a certain point are wearing clown makeup when up till then they weren't. When Scarecrow threatens to dump his toxin in the sewer water that's a nod to both Dreams In Darkness, an episode of the animated series and Batman Begins which borrowed that plot. You do good videos, try Spiderman games next. It makes sense here, everything you've said. I do however find it hard to believe police would be waiting for Bane on Gotham's shore, as if they'd know he'd swim to an exact spot instead of another, then recapture him. One other thing is why would Poison Ivy accept that Titan shot from Joker since she hates him.
The batcave is a really big stretch though. Imagine how many people he'd have to invite there, make all those huge installations, how much noise it would make, how much time planning of the constructions would take, how many people he'd have to pay to keep quiet and so on.
Scarecrows ending makes the most sense, since we know that he’s still alive after getting attacked by croc and sort of hints at him becoming a major villain in a later game (Arkham knight)
The city story was talking about almost the legend of what happened to scarecrow and that he was mauled by croc but then floated out and bane was in the water because the bat mobile dropped him in the water

For the "why doesn't Killer Croc just leave since he's in the sewer" question, I've been under the assumption that his collar would shock him if he got too far away from the island.
Idk why I didn't even think of that. Good point actually since that seems to be a control shock collar.
The only problem with that is I get the feeling that Croc would actually push the issue until the battery died if he actually decided to leave.
There must be some kind of security over the sewers otherwise he'd just endure the shock collar until the battery fails.
That's good. Also with the sewers most likey being closed off tight.
@Chandler Burse yea ur ryt
The only problem with any explanation about why Croc doesn't just use the sewers to escape, is that he ends up using the sewers to escape. His cameo in Arkham City even happens in a sewer. (And out of the collar?? Can't remember.)
My guess is that Croc stays in Arkham (or in its sewer anyway) because he chooses to. I have no reason from the game(s) to believe this, that I can recall, but it's the only answer that makes sense of the information.
CBR: lIt’s on an island you could just swim” have they never heard of Alcatraz?
They've heard of the COD Zombies map...
Oddly enough it's an island Batman and Commissioner Gordon can drive to. . . So it's an island prison/hospital for the criminally insane with a highway leading to it from the mainland. It makes sense that a prison for insane super criminals known for having a revolving door has a convenient roadway to escape on.
Besides I doubt the waters around are not monitored, why would they even think of that escape plan.
because fuck hypothermia
I'm pretty sure Gotham bay has sharks, so only superpowered villains are going across the water.
They tend to forget that Harley worked at Arkham and knows the layout as well as the Joker.
Fenris30 even better probably because she had access to a lot while joker was prisoner in 1 room and didn’t have time to check everytime he was escaping from Arkham asylum.
In the Arkham universe Harley worked on blackgate
She worked at Blackgate and then got a job at Arkham. Because In the Interview Tapes for Harley she is talking to Joker when she is still a doctor.

Re Joker starting Titan production in the gardens: the simplest answer is that he didn't. Professor Young did. Joker took it over once he arrived.
Yes. She said it in the game too. In those tape logs, I believe. Game was epic, along with the sequel "Arkham City" was / is one of the best Batman games ever made.
And she did it with full knowledge and cooperation of the Asylum staff - it was a known research project.
Exactly. And it’s not like she might’ve even had to do it all herself, because as we say with Officer BOLES!, he has connections to people on the inside as well as her.

- How can Batman just return to life after you fail a mission?
- Why does Batman see blue indicators of enemies' attacks?
- How can it all happen in one night even if you play for 20 hours?

Lack of foresight on WB's part, that's how.
"Mainstream" gaming sites are awful. They are forced to put out a ton of content every day so a lot of it is just BS they made up so they can fulfill their quota. Their reviews are not trustworthy because they seem to over rate a lot of games in order to stay in developers/publishers good graces so they get more review codes in the future. Developers/Publishers can be very easily offended and will stop sending review codes to reviewers who give low scores to their games on a semi-regular basis. It's not something that should be allowed to happen, but it does and it effects review scores all the time.

Wendy'sMarioActionFigure 1 if you ask me Arkham Asylum has the worst story. The Joker escapes and Batman has to catch him.

There is actual in game evidence of where Jason Todd was in held Arkham Asylum. (However I doubt Rocksteady planned this far ahead.)
In the West Wing section of the Arkham Mansion there is a room with a Scarecrow audio reel. The room is full of debris and is only accessible via ultra-batclaw at the end of the game.
To back this up Jason Todd literally says "You left me in that abandoned WING at Arkham."
@@HOTD108_ which blocked it off. Once you were able to enter, Jason had already left
I think Jason was being tortured during the Jokers free time as controlling Arkham asylum since they’re are drawings on the walls and some cells. And then kept him after The events and then when Joker was healed they took Jason back to be tortured and killed.
@@jackmcguffin1572 Jason was "killed" way before the events of Arkham Asylum.
It also explains why the Spirit of Arkham circles appear during the Jason scenes in Arkham Knight. They only appear on the spirit of arkham tablets and in Amadeus's room. You can also see in the Amadeus cell that there are a ton of books neatly stacked and a wheelchair with a moving wheel as if they were recently used. The same wheelchair makes an appearance in the Jason flashback as well.

Hit em with a knockout smash to let others websites similar to CBR that the Arkham games are not to be fucked with.
Regarding item #13, I worked for a company that was trying very hard to be more profitable by cutting costs. Yet they still had the budget to install some big screen TVs to show off a loop of the future of the company. Seeing it in real life, I can totally see it happening in a video game.
That's an interesting point. I've seen similar wastes of money in the food industry during my time there too. Thanks for bringing that up, Scott!

A defense of poison ivy's outfit: Her skin is literally toxic, all she has to do is will it, and her body produces a deadly venom that kills or incapacitates on contact with unprotected skin. Unless the city is willing to pony up for hazmat suits for the sole purpose of making sure one prisoner conforms to the dress code, it's impossible to compel her to wear anything she doesn't want to. And that's leaving aside the ethical concern that her body is photosynthetic, and making her wear too much would literally starve her to death. That's why the lights in her cell are a different colour, to supress her photosynthetic properties thus making her easier to control. By the same token, blocking her ability to photosynthesise entirely could ethically and legally be considered cruel and unusual punishment.
That sounds like comic book reasoning bullshit just to have a half naked ivy. I mean I’m not complaining but I’m not gonna defend it either. It’s like the video game equivalent of anime fan service
@@valentai_777You'll get no argument from me, I just figured, if you're going to bash on it, then the in-lore justification for it ought to be addressed too.
17:50 also at the start of the game the guards said that Batman shouldn't be there as he might "Set off some of the more violent inmates". So it's not like he was really allowed there, more so that he escorted Joker in because he felt that "Something wasn't right".
There is literally a organization that tracks down "doctors" who break the Hippocratic Oath. Yes, there are so many cases where "doctors" (And I use quotes because some criminals fake their ID. Kind of what Joker did when talking to two-face in the dark knight trilogy.) That kill their patients.
That is one thing that shocked me when I put it together in the timeline. During Arkham Asylum, Jason was hidden away somewhere in a secret room that batman never went to. Gives you a couple of creepy thoughts.
1) During the large segments of time that you dont see the Joker in the first game, he might have gone to visit Jason.
2) Batman might have walked directly over Jason's head at some point during that night...so close yet so far away.
Scroll up someone made a cool paragraph about Jason escaping Amadeus’ cell when the chaos happens. If that’s true,then the whole Arkham series is a really deep story
I'm pretty sure that the Arkham staff(particularly Penny Young's group) use the Titan Research Facility at their disclosure to manufacture Titan. Also, you do see Croc at the end credits scene in Asylum, confirming his escape, but it is revealed later on in Arkham City that Bane's ending was the canonical one, preserving the fact that the Arkham Sewers were closed off.
And maybe the scarecrow one too. As he is the “main” antagonist in knight
I’ve noticed a bunch of sites like this either post stuff to fill quotas, or because they have possibly skipped every cutscene and bit of lore just to get an article out. Because of lot of what was on the list is either hinted at or directly talked about, but you either have to search for it or pay attention to the cutscene (which you wouldn’t know if you skipped it sort of cutscene) so I’m pretty sure a bunch of these sights either halfway finish the game or skip every cutscene trying to get an article out
They can't even had played other than the demo. Wayne has no security? Did you check what brand the stuff had you destroyed with the cryptic scentographer or whatever it was called? Did you notice a name among it that constantly was there, a name like Wayne? Are you really that dense you don't think Bruce Wayne has means to use it to his advantage when he has a screen available, or to send update patches? A minor effort when playing or experience the game would turn that list to 1 single question: why are the vents so huge a grown man can fit them?
@@zilvertron even bigger question. How in the name of God did the Riddler get half of these trophies where they are. Like one being 20 feet off the ground on the ceiling, like did a police officer/ Riddler glue it and just toss it at the ceiling hoping for the best? Or concrete walls 50 feet off the ground that you have to pull out to get behind them.
The only thing I honestly *hate* about batman arkham asylum is that you can't save poor Jason.

In regards to the escape thing. Joker even states himself in the beginning of the game, quote "I don't want to escape I'm having way too much fun, I even have you here to keep a smile on my face." So that question was already answered by the game if only the person writing this article actually paid attention during the first 5 minutes of the game! 🤣

Ivys coat has an Arkham symbol on it, Harley is shown in the lore getting into the asylum before the events of the game, zassz has cut up his uniform so that he’s shirtless, and scarecrow probably stole his gear after joker got to the medical center. There’s the explanation.

Wrt the complaint about the info announcements in the medical ward, this actually adds realism to the game because they explicitly say that it’s regarding outpatient treatment, and in real life mental hospitals which are equipped to house criminal commitments will often have that be just one part of the facility, and the rest being for non-criminal mental health commitments and treatment.

All of the inmates were wearing their prison cloths, the ivy jacket is an arkham one, bane is arkham pants and shirt(he probably protested removing bus mask), joker and harley are the only ones not and it makes sense
All the security systems in Arkham are Wayne tech easy to explain him moving stuff into the cave while working on the asylum
Very good point. He bankrolls a lot in terms of security for Gotham in general.
Wayne Enterprises: makes everything from ballistics technology, to surveillance and mobility gear, to microwave ovens.
Also note, I think its the Treatment Center that has a plaque for Bruce Wayne donating funds to it for renovations. It's not impossible to think he took advantage of that to sneak in equipment to setup the Arkham Island Batcave. Would explain the random empty boxes around the cave too....
20: about the costumes: the asylum didn’t have enough time to put joker in the outfit. With other villains, they might’ve gone into normal clothes after Jokers first step was completed.
For Robin and Nightwing, Robin is protecting Gotham while Batman is at the Asylum. It's also implied that a lot of criminals escaped the asylum during during the Arkham riot so there needs to be SOMEONE to intercept the criminals. If you ask why Robin wasn't going after Two-Face around the end of the game, you could chalk it down that he was busy chasing another bad guy at the time.
Two-Face could've just escaped prison after Batman caught him off screen after Arkham Asylum. Happens all the time.
I read somewhere that the reason why Harley Quinn was loose at the start of asylum is because she was deemed sane by the faculty and was allowed to walk around and help out.
The World’s greatest detective, the Dark Knight, the Master of Baiting
I always thought the mushrooms in Scarecrow's lair were what he used to make his fear toxin, since certain mushrooms can cause hallucinations.
And because their the only ones their and he puts them under the light
I know this is late, but in regards to Nightwing and Robin, doesn't the game LITERALLY say Joker claims to have bombs all over Gotham, and if anyone (i believe his words were 'police or caped crusaders') attempt to make their way onto the island he'll detonate the bombs?
I always took that to mean they are 1) afraid to take the risk by calling Joker's bluff 2) Were busy looking for the bombs to disable them.
People can admit themselves to Arkham Asylum in the Arkhamverse. It is addressed by those same monitors/speakers in the area where you rescue the three doctors. The speaker begins saying something like "While Arkham Asylum has become synonymous with the various so-called super criminals incarcerated in the Asylum, Arkham also hosts a state of the art in-patient treatment center which accepts most major insurance plans."
The fact that I can hear the background gameplay…
Am I high?
A lot of the conclusions the author came up with almost seem like they are based off someone else's summaries of the game and not their own experience of it
The number 1 reason, "Easy escape plan" was so stupid. Joker intentionally let himself get caught by Batman in order to enact his entire plan that was in the making for a significant amount of time. Sometimes you have to question these lists and the reason why they are putting them out there, mostly for clickbait as you say.

Cringe, people can make criticisms of games, although these ones were mostly shit, stop tying your life to a video game.

But there are plenty of valid criticisms of the narrative of the 4 games I could make, although they are still great games
Wait a minute... are the people at CBR asking why Arkham Asylum [the place] is lacking in security? Arkham Asylum? The almost medieval and dungeon like prison? The one in the city with the corrupt system? The same place where we got Harley Quinn and [possibly, I can't remember] Scarecrow?!
Cbr: Why TF don’t they just swim to land?!
Us: Have you tried swimming from an Island to civilization?
“How did he build a batcave?”
He tells oracle in the game he found the cave one day and then built a batcave around it
CBR has failed me for the last time
I wonder if CBR would do the same with the last of us
The cotsume one for every other villian can be explained as them just grabbing their stuff after the riot or some of the people being to scared to make them change
These videos would be much more pleasant to watch if the topics you are talking about are actually shown through gameplay clips. i understand that would take a lot more editing, but the point about costumes could def use a clip to "remind" us of how Ivy pulls off that outfit.
Also not all the prisoners were their remember Joker bragged about destroying the prison for normal convicts. More or less saying he burned the prison severely or as he called it a horrible accident. The prisoners were moved to the asylum likely while the repairs to the jail were being done. As for Harley we dont know how many years after Origins did she turn evil. She could of just concealed it until the events in Asylum she is crazy as hell but shes not without her intelligence.
We need another Batman game so bad!
We also need Rocksteady games based on other DC comic book heroes-

@@dylansmith5206 I don't disagree with you. All the Batman games felt fairly similar. Although i did really enjoy Arkham knight he was just a well made villain in my eyes and id argue better than the others mainly because he was someone you could feel bad for. In terms of other games, i don't think Rocksteady could pull it off.
I'm happy to be proven wrong but i don't see them pulling off the heroes with super powers i.e. superman, wonder woman etc. Maybe they could do a Green Arrow, but how they could make it without feeling like another batman game, i don't know. That said I'm not sure u can pull off a Superman stand alone game because he is either overpowered or nothing. Obviously he does have his matches, lex, zod etc. But i don't wanna see a superman boss rush game. u cant make superman fight thugs it wouldn't be fun.
That said i am ignorant to the source, Maybe u can make a viable superman game. I haven't read the comics. But most of what I've seen makes him a powerhouse unless kryptonite or maybe damsel in distress. I think superman works better in terms of a movie or comic but not as an interactive experience like a game.
Dylan Smith I’ll take anything besides green arrow, he’s literally Batman anyways.
@@Joke8372 Well... not literally.
I don't know why anyone is surprised Arkham's security sucks. You can put whatever kind of tech you want in there but as long as the staff can be bought(Bowles), perform illegal experiments on the patients(Young), become villains (Harley and Scarcrow), are severely injured(Cash), are murdered(Zsasz's doctor), or are serial killers who think they're the spirit of the original founder of the asylum(Sharp) it's never going to function.
On the Jason Todd thing, it's even worse for the author, because in the comic you mentioned, Arkham Knight Genesis, it's revealed Jason escapes at the end of the events of that game with the help of Deathstroke. He's being held in an abandoned wing of Arkham that Batman never visits during the game and Joker has access to by paying off Arkham Guards to give him so many minutes with Jason at a time, before people become suspicious of his whereabouts. Hence why whenever I play through that game now, after reading all the side comics, it always has a strange sombre feel to it.
@ "It's easy. You stick it right in front of him, right under his long pointy nose and wait."
I don't think poison ivys outfit is all that outlandish. It's an arkham issued button up that she wears provocatively, which is her gimmick. She's supposed to be hot.

Amazing game. But I'll be damned if I didn't get lost throughout the asylum, that bitch was a maze.
“I am the mastur of bating!”
Dude, most of the villans are literally wearing Arkham branded clothes, even Ivy. Like, the first point is actually completely moot especially if you wanna say that scarecrow made his outfit right after joker broke em all out, besides it was shown in an easter egg that scarecrow had a secret hideout in asylum. That first reason is kind of garbage.
CBR writers love to nitpick everything, I’ve read articles from them whereas they’ve picked at something so much, they’re literally pulling tiny things out and start spewing nonsense about it because they’ve not looked at the whole story/ thing they’re talking about
For the how did Batman get a cave built in Arkham Asylum: After the Knightfall comic in which Bane broke Batman's back, Batman built many Batcaves around Gotham so that he could never be caught off guard again. So during No Man's Land he uses those caves to restock resources and without those he would never be able to defeat the villains because he would be to far from the Batcave or Wayne Manor in order to restock. So there are "bunkers" in the Subway of Arkham City (Which you cant enter) Wayne Tower, Slums of Gotham, Crime Alley, Gotham Park, Warehouse.
Ivy is in the same boat as Croc. They are both wearing inmate clothes. It’s just that Croc is just wearing bottoms and Ivy is just wearing a top lol.
Batman said In asylum that he saved an inmate from killing himself and found the cave he turned into a batcave
Congrats on 10k
During the events of asylum, you can see a tag that says "Ra's Al Ghul" meaning R'as was dead for a time but more so you can see a wheelchair on the floor with wheels moving in that abandoned wing portion of Arkham Asylum, most likely Jason only died what almost possibly a year or a few years before the events of asylum took place but Ra's likely had Jason revived via the Lazarus pit but Jason only was gradually retaining his composure besides being broken, and during the gap between games Jason was likely training the milita that we'd see in Arkham Knight.
Jason never actually died in this universe. When Joker shot him, he was immediately saved by some doctors Joker had ready immediately after finishing that recording for Batman
@@eddiediaz5518 An you back that up? As what's more plausible is that Ra's al Ghul had Jason in a near death state taken to where the league of assassins are, had him treated and from there with resources from Ra's, Jason formed the militia

Helping your argument with my own thoughts you didn't bring up.
#20, ivy does wear an arkham asylum button up shirt and bane is wearing jump suit pants like croc. The only real one their accurate about is scarecrow, but he could've gotten them back Harley took over.
#19, joker had arkham guard, frank boles, Dr yung, and eventually Harley under his payroll (which also helps #12). So it wouldn be too surprising if fiddler had a few guards under his.
#11, Bruce could have always taken advantage of times arkham asylum had to have been renovated for new security systems and such to have put equipment in the arkham cave. Also, if Dr Young can make titan labs in the botanical gardens without most of the other guards, doctors, and warden sharp knowing, surely batman can secretly make a new batcave
#1, they really talked about movie, the rock? They are aware alcatraz was a real prison, right? (cbr is now really pissing me off) Only a few people have possibly escaped, but there's no evidence to support it. I could into all the reasons why alcatraz was a successful prison, but I think even Mythbusters has covered this well.
One possible explanation is, at least for the first two Arkham games, nobody in universe really thought too much of Harley Quinn, and she's used that fact a couple of times quite effectively throughout the series: Including the times she stole Freeze's cure in City, as well as breaking into one of Batman's headquarters in Knight, both times while he was busy with what he at the time considered to be larger threats.
Good job for 10k subs
Another thing for #1 is that he never said or wanted to escape, he literally said that it was an island takeover
Dude. Your theory about Bruce funding for the Asylum's renovation, when you enter the Medical Facility, you'll notice a board that literally says Bruce Wayne donated to the organization.
In Arkham Knight, when Jason todd is getting tortured, you can look at the floor and see symbols of amadeus, and Jason Todd is on a wheelchair in most of the cutscenes, note the symbols. In Arkham Asylum you can go to a room filled with symbols, however it is just empty, once you come back after you finish the story, you can see a wheelchair there, and the wheel rolling. I would say Jason was getting tortured around the time Arkham Asylums events were rolling, and Joker was proceeding his plans, but I dont think it contributes to the timeline. There is a video explaining it more in depth. I can find and it copy the link here if you want me to do so.
Isn't Ivy wearing a prison shirt? It certainly isn't her classic uniform in any sense. Harley was busy pre-taking the Asylum, and from her dialogue hints she has just put on her "new outfit, pretty hot, huh?" Scarecrow is perhaps the most indefensible: his outfit doesn't seem quite ad hoc enough, but it's still more practical than a lot of his traditional garb.
Ivy's is like a weird Satin shirt or silky (idk) with the Arkham logo on it's back. It's like a prison/personal hybrid that to my knowledge only she is shown to have. Doesn't mean it wasn't inmate clothes technically since it is Arkham branded and I doubt she'd just throw that on.
The characters still in costume and Arkham asylum are joker: who just got there. Harley: who snuck in. And scarecrow: who made his out of scraps found throughout the asylum.
Batman Arkham asylum, the greatest superhero video game of all time!
'they should declare Martial Law and the US Military should just go in and put all these people down' yeah, that didn't age well...
“I AM THE MASTER OF BAITING”
Well inmates just broken out are going to wear whatever's available, not they can go to Sears. I do wonder why the thugs after a certain point are wearing clown makeup when up till then they weren't. When Scarecrow threatens to dump his toxin in the sewer water that's a nod to both Dreams In Darkness, an episode of the animated series and Batman Begins which borrowed that plot. You do good videos, try Spiderman games next. It makes sense here, everything you've said. I do however find it hard to believe police would be waiting for Bane on Gotham's shore, as if they'd know he'd swim to an exact spot instead of another, then recapture him. One other thing is why would Poison Ivy accept that Titan shot from Joker since she hates him.
Me an Arkham series fan: “I mean yea it makes no sense”
The batcave is a really big stretch though. Imagine how many people he'd have to invite there, make all those huge installations, how much noise it would make, how much time planning of the constructions would take, how many people he'd have to pay to keep quiet and so on.

Scarecrows ending makes the most sense, since we know that he’s still alive after getting attacked by croc and sort of hints at him becoming a major villain in a later game (Arkham knight)
The city story was talking about almost the legend of what happened to scarecrow and that he was mauled by croc but then floated out and bane was in the water because the bat mobile dropped him in the water
