+Ben Wasserman tbh I didn't, I remember the first screenshots of it and they looked fantastic, then they mentioned it would have mark hammil and kevin conroy, that's when I knew this would be something special
Nah facts but tbh most Batman games have always been good. Before this I grew up playing Batman Begins (2005) on Gamecube and even that game had similar stealth and gadgets and the fighting was good
When I was a teen and I played this game, Killer croc and his area scared the heck out of me. I would boot up the game, get to the sneaking part of the area and when I got caught he would scare the crud out of me. The death cutscene would play and I would be done for the day. Today, on November 8th, 2020, I finished the croc level and beat the game. I feel so dang proud of myself. I even had a big one person party, I had wine and some old new years eve party hats. It was about as fun as a one person party could be.
@@somedorkydude6483well he wrote Arkham asylum and Arkham asylum is before Arkham knight. So I don't think it's coincidence it's intentional Paulis Diner is a reference in Arkham knight to Arkham asylum, not the other way round
@@PLUTOXGOAT i should of been more clear. So paul left after arkham city. So everything from harleys revenge onwards was not paul dini. I say this because he didnt write arkham knight Doesnt make me right obviously but yeah i am wrong. Woops
Gotham has a somewhat limited weather pattern. It's either A: Rain and Thunderstorms or B: Snow (Although there are some sunny days and clear nights mixed in). I think the two prominent ones are for effects (ESPECIALLY rain and thunderstorms, very atmospheric).
Man, I just realized, when he taunted Cash with "Tick tock, tick tock, is that a crocodile I hear?" he wasn't referring to Killer Croc! He's calling him Captain Hook!
When joker say at 1:05 that was a nod to Batman the animated series. Batman was committed in to an asylum and he says “ joker has a bomb” lol I love these Easter egg 🐣 🐣 🐣
I love this intro. The way that Arkham is just a bunch of open doorways with no super doorways just sets the atmosphere ADN a dangerous place for everyone. Plus the computer voice is great and sounds like an evil prison.
I wanted to say: Thank you. I watched this 9 years ago and this sparked not only my love of the Arkham Series, but my love for gaming as a whole. It all got started cause of you, so, once again, from the bottom of my heart, thanks, man.
Fun Fact: I know it is really hard to see but if you pause at the right time at around 0:31 you notice it is the same sign from Arkham Knight which is dinner at the beginning of the game.
Greg Moore well, that's the genious part....he didn't have to escape...it was all a trap...he let Bats catch him and was dropping hints that the security was already on pay role. "with all the new guards hows a guy supposed to escape?" "dontchu think is funny they transferred all my crew here?!" Joker was home the second they brought him through the door.
8:44 Guard: Our guest has arrived. Joker: *Glares at Batman* I just loved that part. If you use the first person camara mode and time just right you can literally see that Joker is glaring at the player of the game. That's a sign telling you that right after the next cutscene, it's about to go down. I especially like the menacing look in his eyes because when that guard said "Our guest has arrived", he is referring to Joker. But in Jokers perspective he is referring to Batman. Because Joker considers the asylum as his home and Batman is his guest.
5:20 What is interesting that the doctors and the guards may be scared of the joker when he says "Boo" but not the batman, he's had a lot of fights with the joker. and yes he doesn't flinch when the joker says "Boo"
My mind was so blown when I first played this game. Definitely gonna be up there with the greats up there. Killer Croc is so fucking scary in this game. Also I always laugh at the part of Joker choking the guard and saying, "we're losing him doc!"
IamJacksColon4 this kinda spoils the game, but In the end when Batman's in the back of truck going to the asylum to surrender to Scarecrow, the truck drove past the "Arkham Asylum" sign and then went through the gates, and it was the same shots as the firs Arkham game.
I love this intro, it feels like a theme park ride with how much it shows you. It's a great example of setting expectations. Best intro to an Arkham game
Croc:'' I will hunt you down. A toy collar won't stop me from killing you, Batman. I'll rip you apart. Eat your bones.'' Joker: ''That reminds me! I really need to get me some new shoes.'' lol 6:35
@@muhammetcavus6995 Crocodile skin shoes. Because Joker knows that Batman could kill Killer Croc. It’s a joke about how futile it is to try and kill Batman. Joker is basically saying ‘might as well get something out of Killer Crocs foolish attempt to kill Batman’.
It’s really funny in the beginning when Batman is driving the joker and the joker says stand back fool I got a bomb oh right that just cracks me up so much it’s so hilarious lol
So picture this, here I am home alone at say 10PM and I had decided to replay Arkham Asylum. Everything's going fine, the intro is playing out and once I get to the scene where the power went out in the Elevator, at that exact moment the power goes off in my house. I'm just sitting there in complete darkness, alone sh*tting myself.
It's hard to believe that Batman Arkham Asylum 2 or Arkham City will be Mark Hamill's last time voicing the Joker ever. What a sad time that will be, but I'm assured that since it's his last time doing it. He'll go out with a bang... A big bang.... A really, big bang with millions laughing and crying.
I remember playing this when it came out when I was 9. I was staying at my Aunt and Uncle’s for the day and my dad worked close by so he went out of his way to drop it off so I could play it on my Uncle’s xbox. I didnt see the big deal at the time because super hero games were never that great imo. As I went through this intro, I became hooked and it was easily one of, if not the best games of my childhood. Because of this game, i had never built as much excitement for a game as I did for Arkham City.
Maybe it's not my favorite part of this trilogy, but the opening itself is one of the greatest of all time ,,Hundreds dying in shame and fear, All there lives coming to a horrifying conclusion, all thanks to you and a book of matches”
I love how scary this feels compared to the other Arkham games. It’s like Batman meets Outlast. The scarecrow nightmares, Croc’s lair, the insane lunatics, and the creepy asylum setting. All of this fits perfectly and feels like more than just a kickass superhero game. It’s a suspenseful horror game. And Batman was always dark brooding character, so this is the perfect setting for him and his villains.
@HelloKittyUwW07 ehhhh not really imo. Sure the ManBat and Joker scares on the buildings were very well done, don’t get me wrong, but that’s like two needles in a haystack. The Arkham Asylum game is full of the atmosphere.
This is a pretty cool game of the batman series. I'm a PS3 game fan, this game is on my next game list. The Joker's voice is very funny, very scary, very laughable and the character very seductive, very psychopathic.
Just Think At How Obvious That A Fire At Black Gate Caused Hundreds Of My Crew To Be Moved Here??? How Sad It Was That They Didnt Get Caught In That Unfortunate Fire great line
@TheGameGuru1000 They actually managed to execute him in the electric chair back in 1942, and somehow he came back a week later, good as new! There's just no killing this clown! Unless of course, you kill Batman first, he can't seem to hold on to his persona without the Dark Knight.
It's not the death threat actually. It's the fact that killer croc has batman's scent so the joker thought the scent was actually from his shoes(maybe stepped in something)LOL. May not be right but that's what I think.
To everyone who's commenting about the doctor around 5:30, that's Steven Blum. He does a like of voice acting, and it's no surprise with a voice like that. He also voiced Spike on Cowboy Bebop. =)

Remember when this game first came out, and people thought it was going to end up like all the other Batman games? Boy were we in for a shock
Yup
+Ben Wasserman tbh I didn't, I remember the first screenshots of it and they looked fantastic, then they mentioned it would have mark hammil and kevin conroy, that's when I knew this would be something special

that moment when you first see croc and think "oh shit, I've got that sinking feeling i'm going to bump into him later"
Yeah and I'm almost thinking like "Why he look at us like that?".
yup his boss is scarier than scarecrow
For real hahahahah
"I'll rip you apart. Eat your bones."
"That reminds me. I really need to get me some new shoes."
Best line in the entire game.
Are you alive?
@@on-xe2uo 23 hours ago lol
Why are gay?
Without subtitles I was thinking He was saying "Eat your balls"
@@on-xe2uois he stupid?
The way batman fearless grips joker in the dark in the elevator is so badass. That "I won't take any bs from you" stare. I just love it.
I loved this intro, it was just perfect
As Jim Gordon once said
"This is how it happened. This is how the Batman began."
It is probably the only "walkie talkie" sequense I actually like.
Rest in Peace Kevin Conroy ❤️ he will forever be The Batman 🦇

Phonos Smith thats super cool city is way different than in knight
Omg yeah
Pauli diner
Paul dini
Coincidence probably he didnt write arkham knigjt
@@somedorkydude6483well he wrote Arkham asylum and Arkham asylum is before Arkham knight. So I don't think it's coincidence it's intentional

Gotham has a somewhat limited weather pattern. It's either
A: Rain and Thunderstorms
or
B: Snow
(Although there are some sunny days and clear nights mixed in). I think the two prominent ones are for effects (ESPECIALLY rain and thunderstorms, very atmospheric).
“Honey I’m home!”
A line so important, it returned in Arkham knight
Man, I just realized, when he taunted Cash with "Tick tock, tick tock, is that a crocodile I hear?" he wasn't referring to Killer Croc! He's calling him Captain Hook!
Well Croc ate Cash hand. So he was taunting Cash by referencing Croc.
When joker say at 1:05 that was a nod to Batman the animated series. Batman was committed in to an asylum and he says “ joker has a bomb” lol I love these Easter egg 🐣 🐣 🐣
Season 1 episode 31
Dream in darkness
I love this intro. The way that Arkham is just a bunch of open doorways with no super doorways just sets the atmosphere ADN a dangerous place for everyone. Plus the computer voice is great and sounds like an evil prison.
4:33 ...
Now that right there to me is a perfect Joker laugh, love it.
I wanted to say: Thank you. I watched this 9 years ago and this sparked not only my love of the Arkham Series, but my love for gaming as a whole. It all got started cause of you, so, once again, from the bottom of my heart, thanks, man.
The Greatest video game intro ever made. The setting, the music, everything man.
This intro is so good and memorable. It really gives you that feeling that something is odd and things are going to get bad.
5:18 to 5:31 ik this is obvious but I like how the guards immediately aim their weapons at joker cause of how dangerous he is.
I love Killer Croc in this game. So intimating
“I’ve got your scent Batman”
Batman: note to self, don’t be near croc as Bruce Wayne
10:34 I just noticed the Wayne Tech logo on the security panel! What great attention to detail for such an old game!
That Batman/Gordon friendship tho
More satisfying if you play origins just before
“Hundreds dying in shame and fear, All there lives coming to a horrifying conclusion, all thanks to you and a book of matches.” Such a good damn line.
Fun Fact: I know it is really hard to see but if you pause at the right time at around 0:31 you notice it is the same sign from Arkham Knight which is dinner at the beginning of the game.
Happy 15th Anniversary, Batman Arkham Asylum.
This is the Batmobile we should have had =/
We do, it's a selectable style, but we can't shoot.
As cool as the buildup in this intro is, it's kind of a letdown that Joker's diabolical escape plan essentially amounts to headbutting the guard.
Greg Moore well, that's the genious part....he didn't have to escape...it was all a trap...he let Bats catch him and was dropping hints that the security was already on pay role. "with all the new guards hows a guy supposed to escape?" "dontchu think is funny they transferred all my crew here?!" Joker was home the second they brought him through the door.
He was in cahoots with the security. Plus Joker sees everything pretty much as a game.
And he also started that fire which ended up consolidating all his goons to be put in the same area.
Well, it was cooler than simply being freed by a corrupt guard or a goon
@@zeemancan3713 really? i always thought it was Firefly that caused that fire at Blackgate. on Joker's orders, mind you, but still
8:44 Guard: Our guest has arrived.
Joker: *Glares at Batman*
I just loved that part. If you use the first person camara mode and time just right you can literally see that Joker is glaring at the player of the game. That's a sign telling you that right after the next cutscene, it's about to go down. I especially like the menacing look in his eyes because when that guard said "Our guest has arrived", he is referring to Joker. But in Jokers perspective he is referring to Batman. Because Joker considers the asylum as his home and Batman is his guest.
Pretty sure looking at Batman is just is default animation during most of the scene.
Literally one of the best intros in video game history
It's so iconic and they know it, which is why they keep referencing it in their games
"That reminds me, i really need to get me some new shoes"
ROFL !
5:20
What is interesting that the doctors and the guards may be scared of the joker when he says "Boo" but not the batman, he's had a lot of fights with the joker. and yes he doesn't flinch when the joker says "Boo"
My mind was so blown when I first played this game. Definitely gonna be up there with the greats up there. Killer Croc is so fucking scary in this game.
Also I always laugh at the part of Joker choking the guard and saying, "we're losing him doc!"
Killer Croc Definaely was Scary Especially When Inside His Lair
I love how the end to Arkham Knight has the same scene pretty much shot for shot of Batman driving back to the asylum. Love it!
TheRubbaRazza eh what AK game did u play? i dont remember anything like that
IamJacksColon4 this kinda spoils the game, but In the end when Batman's in the back of truck going to the asylum to surrender to Scarecrow, the truck drove past the "Arkham Asylum" sign and then went through the gates, and it was the same shots as the firs Arkham game.
I just checked and it was true
"You need to take my tepature I'll be happy to drop my pants" my favorite part
"I'm warden idoit, you'll never escape..." hahahahaha classic joker
It’s so sad how such a high security facility had to close after this incident
Hunter Polonoski Didn't close after the events of the game. They close after the creation of Arkham City.
One of the best on-rails intros ever.
I love this intro, it feels like a theme park ride with how much it shows you. It's a great example of setting expectations. Best intro to an Arkham game
Dios, veo la fecha de subido y me doy cuenta que probablemente este sea el primer gameplay de este juego, simplemente épico
Puede ser
Croc:'' I will hunt you down. A toy collar won't stop me from killing you, Batman. I'll rip you apart. Eat your bones.'' Joker: ''That reminds me! I really need to get me some new shoes.'' lol 6:35

Thank you for sharing the existence of &fmt=22, helps a lot
Playing this game the first time in 2009, this intro really let you know it was gonna be the best comic book game ever made.
6:17 this right here is one of the scariest and the most shocking moment in this game
14 years of greatness. Much love and respect for the creators of the arkham games rocksteady and their next games.
9:10 Who else remembers seeing this scene in the demo? If so, you're an og man!
9:33 Look at the size of this guy's hand! It's freaking huge! And I've been playing this game for 10 years now and just noticed that!
And you know what else is big if his hands are big 😏
I remember watching this whole playthrough in 8th grade... Memories :)
I never realised the first time, but you can explore the entire path later in the game. The scanner room is one of the stealth rooms.
So picture this, here I am home alone at say 10PM and I had decided to replay Arkham Asylum. Everything's going fine, the intro is playing out and once I get to the scene where the power went out in the Elevator, at that exact moment the power goes off in my house.

Its weird seeing joker so....healthy :(
Yo I know you
but he's "healthy" in 3/4 games.

What a fuckin glorious intro and what a fucking glorious game i will kill to play this game for the first time again
the voices of both batman and joker from the animated series!!!
Don't forget Harley Quinn voice Arleen Sorkin is also the same from the animated series but just in the Arkham Asylum game.
Just Think At How Obvious That A Fire At Black Gate Caused Hundreds Of My Crew To Be Moved Here??? How Sad It Was That They Didnt Get Caught In That Unfortunate Fire great line
Arkham Asylum was like the PG version of the first Resident Evil: creepy, ominous, and full of wicked secrets.

Stand back fool, I've got a bomb!
10:27- that laugh doe 😂

I have a doubt.. what if the police patrol car hasn't moved out of Batman's way . there could've been an accident?
HA! The same voice actor from the Animated series and the anime that came out few years ago. I guess its hard to have Batman now without him
"its my favorite show im warden idiot you'll never escape" lol
My favorite line was joker's little child like "Weee!" Idk why but i just find it adorable-
@DancesWithEskimos91
Mark Hamill. He played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars and has done voice acting as Joker in the animated series as well.
anyone notice how Batman looks alittle older in this game than he did in AC?
Lightner445555555555 Personally I think it has to do with Batman having visible stubble in Asylum while he was clean shaven in City.
Security work in Arkham it's a interesting job.
ROFL
"Oh it's my favorite show. I'm Warden Idiot, you'll never escape!" .... Hahahahahaha.... oh fuck. Joker. You rock my world.
Calls 'em as he sees 'em.
haha he said Bat Snacks im in 2020 n rolling my eye
The original had the animation and models down right.
The remaster corrected the lighting.
We never got both of those together.
This Batman looks way more badass than the one in Arkham city and knight
You're doing Batmah: AA! Woowoo!
Although, I hope that you plan on completing your play-through on Wolfenstein.
