So this is how Batman defeats so many foes in one night

[@aidensimpson4882]

I thought it’s because he’s batman

[@TheWaffleEdits]

It’s ShikenNuggets. It’s always been him

[@MaxNMotion]

The only explanation

[@comicfan1324]

Strange: “Protocol 10 will commence in 10 hours“
Batman: “Oh yeah? I can beat you in under one hour!”

[@WarpingFist]

I gotta be honest, I wasn't even aware the Arkham games had a large speed running community. I've only recently become addicted to watching some of them.

[@BananaWasTaken]

The history of ‘Batman Arkham World’ records? What a treat, Arkham World is the best game in the franchise.

The History of Batman Arkham World Records? Finally

[@OmarKhalil-rc5wf]

Man you are right.
Batman Arkham city is the best game

[@danielpetkovsky4102]

we love shikennuggets

[@TheWaffleEdits]

Shiken was the one that introduced me to Arkham speed running. I knew these games were broken, but not this much
I even tried finding glitches myself in City. I found 2 actually. One where you can turn back into Batman when you do the Bruceman glitch (I need to re record that on PS5 capture and not on my phone) and a potential skip of the jammers in City

[@guywhoasked6046]

5:36 thats some interesting camera view I might say

[@dawudabdulali3827]

Not exactly related to the vid, but i always wonder who was the first person to buy batmam arkham asylum, or who was the first person to collect all of the riddler trophies in city ? And many more I wonder.

[@illuminatidad]

The devs

[@batmaneris1663]

Amazing vid loved it

[@dawudabdulali3827]

I wonder who the heck found all of the speed run glitches, I have a theory that the actual game developers purposely made the glitches and reaveled them secretly.

[@clemions1696]

you should do finishers tierlist. Like batman using batarang finisher, or batclaw finisher. You could also do them for other playable characters.

[@Knighthawk_]

i did the glitchless w/cat speedrun a few years ago, really fun game that i still play to this day and an underrated category (even though the glitches are really cool)

[@BS-re9fc]

you should make a video about arkham inspiration lake btas or the comics but great video

[@RitroRuns]

I hope you plan on making a sequel to this when I regain my world record.
And by the way, if you’d messaged me on discord, I would’ve sent you footage of my WR. I really do enjoy this video, I keep coming back to it. Good stuff.

[@bakirboss555]

My speed run is 1h and 52 min and 22 sec

Now do the history of Man : Ham city

[@user-tu9pk2ub1d]

I thought someone best it in 27 min

[@comicfan1324]

Speed running is very impressive, but for me personally I like playing games at my own pace. I want to experience the world The gaming habits, not rush through it.

[@kalxys]

What about the Console Boards? That sure does have some interesting history.

[@THEBATMAN_396]

It sure does

[@Blobbie_]

Word

[@Halfbreedmofo]

Speedrunning is only way how Batman was able to do everything in one night

[@thegreatacolyt1277]

I have played this game so many times I can beat it in 3 to 5 hours and I have beaten it twice in one day and my biggest problem with this game is the shitty traversal cuz its so slow and bad so thats where my time slows down 2:04 i know his guy

:D

[@ajsnake]

2nd

[@AldoWaldoBaldo]

Is there a lore reason why people play games faster? Are they stupid?

[@Ayowqz]

Because they already beat the story normally so they find it fun by speedrunning

[@Isfirstsrtike]

First!!!

[@Ayowqz]

Cool

[@tyleroutland435]

My second favorite Arkham game and speed running through games is stupid

[@Rhyciz]

You have some serious balls to put the words “Arkham” and “stupid” in the same sentence my friend

[@lewiscarroll-sl9so]

Speed running is a skill beyond the game

[@thegreatacolyt1277]

Why?

[@tyleroutland435]

@@thegreatacolyt1277 because it's unnecessary

Best Arkham game wrong Arkham knight is ten times better. Larger playing area, better story and it gives call backs to batman Arkham origins
