Batman: Arkham Shadow is an action-adventure video game played from a first-person perspective. In the game, the player assumes control of Batman who must stop a new villain called the Rat King from unleashing chaos in the city. The rhythmic, free-flow combat from the previous games returns in Shadow, allowing Batman to attack, stun and counter. Combining these three main abilities can keep Batman attacking while moving between enemies and avoiding being attacked himself. The stealth predator sections are also back. Batman can activate Detective Vision to identify the locations and the patrol patterns of all enemies in an area, and stealth tactics such as silent takedowns, inverted takedowns and hiding in grates can be used against armed enemies. He also has a large arsenal of tools, such as smoke bombs and batarangs to aid combat. The game's structure is similar to that of Batman: Arkham Asylum (2009), in which Batman explores a series of large but confined spaces. Batman can glide from heights using his cape, and use his grapple gun to climb onto higher ledges. As players progress, they will gain new gadgets and tools, enabling them to open up new paths to reach previously inaccessible areas.
Of all the films or animations we've had about Harvey Dent, Arkham Shadow was the heaviest, because it was Bruce himself who burned his childhood friend's face.
@@JarvisCosric885Yes, but even so, Bruce felt it was his fault, since at no point in the game was Bruce by Harvey's side, and the only time they were together was to reveal that he was the Bat.
These lines from other games hits different after Arkham Shadow. Arkham City Thug: "I know a guy who was in the courthouse that day, he said Harvey tried to fight back, even his other half face was melted on the floor." Two-Face in Arkham Knight: (To Batman) "I wish I was dead... I'm a freak because of you! You're the man who put that acid-throwing bastard in the dock!"
I love the whole court scene to be honest (and this game in general), but my favorite part is Dr. Crane just being like 'Ah yes, let me just HUUUFFFFFFFFFF annnnd I'm good to go!' XD. No wonder his eyes are so red.
I love how they carefully maintained this new game and it's story in cannon to the dialogue Batman and Harvey have after apprehending him in Arkham Knight. It was perfect, down to the last minute detail😂
In Arkham Knight Harvey is mad at Batman for putting that "acid throwing freak at the docks" while in Shadow he gets burned at a courthouse, seems they partially retconned somethings
@@GamePapaGio I think that's the Harvey Dent Ending if you capture him BEFORE the unveiling at the end of the game by Scarecrow. In the aftermath of capturing him, Two Face says "Bruce...is it really you?" Which does infact keep canon.
Complete coincidence that I watched The Dark Knight last night, as this version and and Aaron’s version are definitely the most sympathetic versions of Two Face
@@gamerboy-pt7nw Definitely my favorite of the bunch, he's started off as such a teddy bear and ended up taking a downspiral out of his control and lost everything in the process. Poor guy.
@@bananatiergod I literally thought when I first saw him he’s one big teddy bear (and they he’s probably great with hugs). Especially as he wanted a better Gotham from Mayor Hill who was a corrupt murderer whilst Harvey was a decent guy. Overall, it as clearly the drug that he got injected with that clearly bought out his Two Face persona not actually Penguin burning half of his face (even if that certainly didn’t help). Hence why I always choose to redeem Harvey every time I play
Harvey: THE AGE OF WAYNES IS OVER! NO MORE FALSE PROPHETS! FOLLOW ME, AND YOU WILL NEVER BE DECEIVED AGAIN! RISE UPPPP!!” *Rats cheer for him, as Alfred, Leslie, Barbara, and Commissioner Gordon look in complete shock and fear*

Solomon Wayne (or whoever’s Alpha Trion): ARISE!! BATMAN!!” Bruce opens his eyes and quickly flies up as Two Face orders* Two Face: “BURN IT DOWN, ALL OF IT!!”
@@EJAXK13 Boles: Hey, it’s that defective miner, Brice Vaine! Bruce: Bruce Wayne..! Boles: WHO CARES?! WE TOLD YOU NOT TO COME HERE!! Bruce: WHY ARE WE YELLING?!
He is now after this game. This is one of the best two-face stories I've seen in a while. He was so underused in the main games. It's a shame it took a VR game from another game studio to give him the spotlight.
@ yea I agree I liked him in city but wanted more and then knight they could have done way better but now with this game it pretty much gives him the chance he deserves after so long
He didn’t if you actually pay attention to the scene when crane tries to put the gas on Bruce, Bruce puts has hand up causing crane to flinch and turn around smashing the container on Harvey
That's what i was thinking. I don't see how you could even blame Bruce Wayne considering what would have happened if he didn't push that acid away from himself.@freedomwriter9688

We need a STORY DLC now
"I am SORRY Harvey" Batman in Arkham Knight.
He doesnt say this to other villians except Jason.
Good find
True that
Of all the films or animations we've had about Harvey Dent, Arkham Shadow was the heaviest, because it was Bruce himself who burned his childhood friend's face.
Well technically it was Scarecrow because Scarecrow scared Bruce as Matches to accidentally cause Scarecrow to scar poor Harvey
@@JarvisCosric885Yes, but even so, Bruce felt it was his fault, since at no point in the game was Bruce by Harvey's side, and the only time they were together was to reveal that he was the Bat.
@@aNgEl_oF_dE_nIgHt Still tho, the Long Halloween duology did it better
Crazy to me that it took them THIS long to give Harvey more attention but I'm glad they did

@@GamePapaGioyou need to remember Dent's memories are scrambled, He Gordon and Batman took down Falcone.
@@GamePapaGio I think he meant court room dock. Thats where the defendant sits during the trial.

What about the animated series?
@@gamerboy-pt7nw Oh wait until you get to the Telltale version, you WILL want to give him a hug
@@bananatiergod I’ve already played it and yes I definitely feels sympathy for that version as well

I'm on the fence of the "villain" being called Rat King because I immediately jump to thinking about the TMNT character
Am I the only one that thinks Arkhams two face is like maybe top two or three versions of two face
He is now after this game. This is one of the best two-face stories I've seen in a while. He was so underused in the main games. It's a shame it took a VR game from another game studio to give him the spotlight.
@ yea I agree I liked him in city but wanted more and then knight they could have done way better but now with this game it pretty much gives him the chance he deserves after so long
This game would’ve been amazing on other consoles I swear
He wanted to end corruption in Gotham but ended up becoming corrupt himself
Where did the picture for the Thumbnail come from? Really awesome. I must know
It’s ma’am… man. Ok we are back to sanity.
Split personality disorder given from…
extreme and repeated childhood abuse
The proper term is DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder).
@ I have literally no idea what that is
@@lucasthegamemasterporterfi84 It's the proper medical term for split personality.
Child Bruce sounds like that kid from the IT movie
Harvey and Bruce had sexual tension 😂
😅
Why did bruce do it !?!?! this is out of character for him to burn Harvey dent .... HE would never do that to dent ??
He didn’t if you actually pay attention to the scene when crane tries to put the gas on Bruce, Bruce puts has hand up causing crane to flinch and turn around smashing the container on Harvey
That's what i was thinking. I don't see how you could even blame Bruce Wayne considering what would have happened if he didn't push that acid away from himself.@freedomwriter9688
It was an accident. Everyone blamed Batmans alter ego Matches Malone for the incident. Everyone saw Matches as a criminal that worked for Flacone.
It wasn't. he put the hand up and Crane just turned around and hit Harvey. Watch it in slower speed and it will be more obvious.
