Arkham Knight's HORRENDOUS Storytelling

"World's greatest detective." well he is the one who figured out Alucard is Dracula spelled backwards.

I heard that the reason why Paul Dini didn't write Arkham Knight, was because he wanted to use Scarecrow and Hush as the main villains, and you can tell he was teasing that in the Hush side mission in Arkham City, because if you look around Hush's hideout you can see a few canisters of Scarecrow's fear toxin, and Rocksteady didn't want to do that, sooo we all know how that turned out. Great video btw.

I don’t know what was going on in rocksteady’s head when they thought “Hey, let’s make Deathstrokes boss fight a batmobile fight” DO WHAT THEY DID IN ARKHAM ORIGINS!

The fact that Batman got 2 cures in Arkham City and he's still dealing with the infection was ridiculous. They went out of their way to shoehorn Joker into the story with people turning into him. Woulda loved to see Paul Dinis vision of Arkham Knight with Hush and Scarecrow teaming up

Joker being in every Arkham game is like green goblin being in every single Spider-Man game

Characters becoming dangerously incompetent in service to the plot? Ok, now I’m sure Netherrealm wrote this.

What if instead of Joker being the voice in Batman’s head, it was Jason Todd? Isn’t that Batman’s greatest fear, that the people he loves will die around him? Todd can act as the pure manifestation of that fear, leading him to make more and more aggressive decisions, until the vision quest scene where he goads Batman into taking the lethal method. Then Batman snaps out of it, realising that the guilt over Jason’s death is driving him crazy and that he needs to forgive himself.

They always said that Batman has so many excellent villains Yet when they wanted introduce a new villain, they didn’t put enough trust that the certain villain will be good enough so they always brought in Joker in some form to save the plot even though it makes no sense.

Oh my god! Imagine if the Arkham Knight hated Batman because the Knight was actually Damien Wayne and he hated Batman because he let Talia die. That would have been cool.

I like how they adapted the red hood storyline where Jason todd hasn't been introduced and the entire plot revolves around the fact that the joker is alive, which he isn't.

"They made him a whiny teen brat who wears a clunky robot suit, hates his old mentor for no reason and hangs out with a hooded figure with a deformed face" OMG he really is Anakin in Revenge of the sith, I never noticed that lol.

Agree with most you say but you got one thing wrong. Scarecrows plan was not to use the fear toxin in Gotham. He wanted to infect the entire east coast. He wanted Gotham evacuated so he could make the poison with the least resistance. That part makes sense. How he went about it is another story.

You know what's really interesting about this games story? When Batman and Robin was being filmed, Warner Bros. we're going to make a sequel, and it was to be called Batman Unchained (or Batman Triumphant, either way it doesn't matter.) The story would've had Scarecrow attacking Gotham City, which triggered the birth of Man-Bat, and Harley Quinn would've appeared, out for revenge for Joker's previous death, only there she would've been Joker's daughter, to retain some continuity. You might think: well, that's a coincidence, with those three villains appearing and having similar motivation to the game's story. But you know what's really interesting? Jack Nicholson was going to comeback, as a Joker CAUSED BY SCARECROW'S HALLUCINATIONS. Isn't that crazy.

Didn’t these videos use to be under the title “Arkham knight was a huge disappointment”?

The Jason twist was obvious. Not only does the Knight look like Jason’s suit in Battle for the Cowl, but they specifically talked about Red Hood DLC...in a series that HASN’T MENTIONED RED HOOD EVER.

Scarecrow is one of my favorite bat villains and I was exited for a game with him as the main antagonist for game but then he became Hugo Stange 2.0 instead of the mad doctor obsessed with the effects of fear.

I think Arkham Origins is undeservedly hated. Especially now after Knight has released I remember at the time the biggest criticism I heard for it was "well the game is okay but just wait for Arkham Knight". Now that Arkham Knight was a disappointment I've only really heard people liking Origins.

It also hurts because of how much energy they sunk into the visuals. The game looked stunning for something made in 2015 and the predator, combat and grappling evolved so much throughout the series. It's fun to play but painful to watch

To be fair though Arkham Origins was one of the best explorations of the relationship between Bats and the Joker to date
