Rocksteady should really consider making a horror game, not just for jumpscares but also disturbing lore

On Arkham Wiki you can read that Joker blew up a school full of children and kidnapped children doing surgery on them. Putting body parts at differnt positions and making the parents try to identify their children. This leads to Jason Todd wanting to kill Joker, which then leads to Jason Todd being overwhelmed by Joker and being kept in Arkham Asylum. I say Joker is worst than Professor Pyg.

In the Arkham games its pretty clear that Batman really hates Mad Hatter in particular. Out of all the villains in the series Hatter is the only one that Batman outwardly tells to go to hell, which in some ways could be a way of wishing death on someone. And if the subtle details about Hatter really do mean he does those terrible things it’s understandable why batman feels that way.

Jason todds story is probably the most disturbing since he was hinted in asylum and there are drawings on the wall, but the most messed up thing was in Arkham vr you can hear jason screaming and begging bruce to help him

Jason Todd's story is so inherently disturbing to me that part of me wants an entire alternative storyline comic where Batman actually manages to save him from the asylum. Like he found him screaming in there but managed to bring him home and then the comic detailed his recovery, going back and forth between wanting to trust Batman and his burning anger and fear at Batman, or Jason doesn't believe this is real and it's another Joker trick but Batman has to convince him again and again, waking him from nightmares, Jason lashing out at Batman in moments of flashbacks, not unlike one of the alternate endings we saw in the Death in the Family interactive movie where Jason actually had the strength to stop and heal. I know that will never happen, but it's the heartwarming fluff that would be nice after this storyline

Pyg's dollatrons are MUCH worse than people realize. Not only are they horribly disfigured for life but the masks they all wear are skin grafted on their faces, so you cannot remove them unless you want to rip off your own face. There was even a comic story where one dollatron escaped Pyg but they sould never bear to take her mask off becuase she was traumatized at seeing what would be underneath it.

Damn bro the voice actor for the guy who was dying from Joker pills rlly needs a raise bc it just sounded so legit

I love how they made Arkham Knight darker story because Batman and most of his stories surrounding him are extremely dark. The fact that they spent time putting in little clues to smaller characters and villains that some people don't know about but big fans of batman do was amazing

Joker has ended countless lives and in the most sadistic of ways; torturing a Robin with implications he was raped by inmates, fooled a man with a sick daughter and let them both die, psychological manipulation, and infanticide? With hydrochloric “Holy Water”? In a church? Not to mention the other villains… Batman and I guess the rest of whoever runs gotham: “he can always change” I genuinely am curious as to what the Batman universe would look like if Gotham did have a death penalty

Arkhamverse harley quinn is pure evil. Honestly Arkham is like the opposite of TAS. All the villains are irreedemable.

There's no version of Pyg that ISN'T horrifying. Even in the mainline comics, he's still absolutely sadistic and cruel. He's one of the few enemies I kinda wish the writers had kept locked away and buried in their minds, rather than being put on the page...

I'm glad they made Arkham Knight M. It really allows them to get to the darker parts about Gotham and the Batman mythos.

7:55 yeah...Joker is no stranger to killing kids. In Arkham Asylum, he mentions infecting babies with the Titan formula. He says "I said I wanted the Bat stopped. Did no one listen? It's like you don't want an outbreak of Titan enhanced mutant babies climbing over Gotham."

Everything I’ve heard about Pyg makes him sound incredibly disturbing. He hardly kills, but mostly mutilates his victims and removed everything that makes them a person, and then removes the free will of whatever’s left. The fact that I’m Arkham they’re still conscious makes it even worse, it must feel like your soul is trapped in a mannequin, unable to move and subject to whatever Pyg wants, which is even worse because if he is a rapist then you’ll probably be forced to partake in what he wants. Pyg is the most deserving of the death sentence in Arkham Knight, and the only person who might be as deserving is Joker.

I like the fact that the theory that he replaced her eyes came only because of bad animation in her face 😂

The red hood is genuinely what Gotham needs. Joker, Hatter, Pyg, and most of the rouges gallery deserve two in the head

Professor Pig is basically Leatherface in Batman universe and he's just as messed up and scary as that guy in a horror movie. Also one dark detail about Dollotron's.....after Pig's side mission in GCPD Lockup where henchmen's are kept, Dollotron's are actually in one of the cells...and they're just....standing there....watching you....and I feel it's creepy because a part of me (and I think Batman's) thinks that these are still normal people brutally mutilated for life, and sadly there's no way to help them.....geez that's so dark.

How Joker never got the death penalty is crazy.

I feel like Arkham Harley is the Harley most obsessed with the Joker

The most eerie one has to be the Starro Easter egg, just knowing what’s starro is capable of and the fact it’s sitting there out of plain sight and nobody knows makes you wonder what if

The more you see villains like Joker, Pyg and Mad Hatter, the more you realize that Red Hood is the future of Gotham. There is NO salvation for these sick people, they can only be stopped! This is why I love the Arkham games as much as I love the Marvel's Spider-Man games: Both are amazing franchises, with so many important details and deep stories.

Too bad Arkham Knight couldn't include the ability to visit both the asylum and the city, to not only see what has changed, but also get clues on where Jason Todd has been tortured.

this makes me even more enraged at Harley's speech to batman in that suicide squad games

7:42 Most of the Arkham Knight comics are not canon but the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City ones are canon because they don't contradict anything in the games.

There’s also a story about Joker, Jason and a kindergarten in Arkham Knight, you can read it if you find a riddler trophy. That one was horrifying

Man that laugh in the audio tape was so realistic

Arkham asylum and MANHUNT had the scariest environments in gaming for me

The only reason i wanted to play batgirls dlc was because of starro. I like the detail that when you enter the room you start hearing a pitching noise, like if starro was attempting to control you

Joker giving a guy pills to kill him is quite possibly the most normal thing he’s ever done.

On Pyg, It's mentioned that he had a mental break during his career. While the abuse from his parents was part of it, his mental illness (schizophrenia) made him even worse. The fact that he uses the word "perfect" when making the tape for Janosz, along with how he essentially butchered his mother, makes me think he SA'd the woman before killing her. Really dark stuff. As for the Dollotrons, I believe they disappear from their cells at a certain point if you bring Pyg in early. Tinfoil hat conspiracy here, but I felt that the GCPD euthanized the remaining Dollotrons due to their damage, which would have happened to them even if they survived the night. Pyg was never going to give that information willingly. Pyg's face being heavily scarred also suggests he tried surgically altering his face to be 'perfect'. In all likelihood, Pyg probably got the death penalty for what he did, and the Dollotrons were euthanized. They got the rawest deal out of anyone in the series, next to the Lunatics and anyone victimized by Joker.

12:39 Scarecrow is me being bombarded by the sheer amount of "Holy fuck" in this video.

I agree that Starro being trapped in that tank is truly creepy. The way the music plays as you stare at it is truly unsettling. If characters like Superman or Braniac didn't exist in the Arkhamverse, seeing Starro would give that undsettling feeling that we are not alone in the universe. That there is probably more of this terrible thing out there in space and might come to Earth.

The Arkham games are disturbing as a whole

My head canon about Ratcatcher is that instead of killing, Penguin forcefully employed him. He might as well get smuggled goods using something as inconspicuous as rats sneaking out of the City.

My favorite hidden detail is how Anarky was supposedly killed by Croc. For those who don't know, Arkham Knight has a little alcove below Panessa Studios filled with a bunch of props, but has nothing to do with any of the game's multiple sidequests. There are also some Anarky tags throughout the entirety of Gotham City, with one of them being right by the little alcove. And just above that tag is an area with some torn down guard railing, giant claw marks, and a large reddish-brown stain on the ground. Similar stains can be found in the alcove, with some people believing the alcove to be Clayface's hideout, with the stains being a similar color to him, and with his past as an actor, but others, myself included, think that Anarky was using it as a hideout, due to the nearby Anarky tag, and he was killed by Croc due to the fact that Croc's lighthouse can be seen from the alcove.

I’m I the only one who gets a weird unsettling feeling when playing these games

I played these games when I was younger so a lot of this little details went past me. Thanks so much for keeping this fandom alive

Rat catcher:exists. Penguin and Arkham Knight I THINK THE FUCK NOT

What are the more sad/eerie things in Arkham: origins was "the flying graysons coming soon!" Poster. Like just because we all know what is going to happen when they come to Gotham

This video was really fucking good. Always loved the creepy & dark atmosphere that Rocksteady set in the Arkham games. Hoping you make a sequel to this! I feel this will blow up in the future heavily

Realising how much disturbing stuff Harley was involved with makes it even weirder to see her in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League as the same Harley from these games

Imagine a Gotham Horror game where your play as a GCPD detective sent to different points of interests like the amusement park or the asylum in order to track a killer who turns out to be an Arkham super-villain. The game could have you interact with Batman and Robin in some missions where they are tracking something else (that’s going on in Gotham) in the same mission. Could be a good way to introduce a new female hero (my brain is just imagining the chick from Control) or just a cool new character in general. Probably wouldn’t work with Commissioner Gordon for a number of reasons but it could be a cop from previous games, I do think it would work better as a brand new character tho. Potential Mission Areas: Seagate Amusement Park, Arkham Asylum, Abandoned version of Wayne Manor, Iceberg Lounge (maybe as a dialogue mission), Subway map (maybe set in a secret area near Mercy Bridge), abandoned orphanage, different areas set on the islands, etc. Cool alternate idea: a riddler story where Batman is doing his thing but Gordon assigns a new detective to do their own investigation. Edit: the hospital would be a cool map too.

Seriously, joker was one of the only villains i would have executed at the beginning of Asylum Morality gets thrown out once you kill kids

Joker in the Arkham series is next level evil also where is the implication of Jason being SA

You made me want to play the Arkham games again and really listen to every dialog said. Amazing video, CANNOT wait for Part 2!!

I like how they made the Arkham games so dark, that nearly every character seemed creepy as hell. Joker looked like straight out of a nightmare. Scarecrow had two different designs and both were better then every Scarecrow version ever before and don't even get me started on Killer Croc. Even more goofy villains like Riddler looked more creepy and psychotic in those games. Or Starro. I would never say Starro is a creepy villain inside the DC universe, but his design and that sound you hear near him inside the Batwoman DLC was so terrifying. I even remember the advertising poster in Arkham City from the Rat Catcher. The poster looked also creepy as hell. They just nailed it and I would like to see more Batmanlore like this. I also think, that The Batman movie from Matt Reeves had that tone.

I've always felt the amusement park odd. There is something in the atmosphere of that map that made me felt unease and that something was very wrong. For real I felt like I was being watched in game all the time

Another thing that I think deserves a mention is that Strange drugged and brainwashed his tiger guards in Arkham city, while I am aware that this is just speculation, it’s heavily implied when you look at the tiger guards with detective mode, no matter how much you try and scare them they always remain calm.

I don't know why People hate Jason Todd's story in this universe, because it's one of the best yet tragic and scary stories in Arkham-Verse. This story and Burke's fate shows that Harley Quinn in this universe is not a victim, she's just as bad as The Joker. Also in one Tie-In Comic it was shown that Jason had a chance to sniped sick Joker in Arkham City but basically said....."Nah, I'll let him die slow and painful death" that's so cold and satisfying. And shout out to Troy Baker because in Arkham Knight he perfectly captured Jason's anger and sadness in his voice.

Did mark Hamill voice the Edward amusement park guy? His laugh sounded like jokers kinda signature laugh

This was fantastic! I also appreciate that you're one of the rare KZfaq channels left that has uncensored content!

the thing with arkham games is that dead characters somehow fossilize in a matter of years like how tf did the theme park owner become a skeleton in what seems like a year or so

When I found the Ratchatcher Riddle, it immediately made me so sad. It felt so brutal and awful for anyone, especially considering he never seems to be a particularly bad villain in the games.

Love videos like this. The Arkham series does horror so well. Pyg is more insane than the Joker but Joker is more evil. Pyg is so delusional that he thinks what he does is “helping” and “fixing” people. Joker knows that what he’s doing is wrong, and he loves it even more so because of the pain it causes. He doesn’t have any delusions that he’s doing what’s right, he knows he’s evil and has a blast doing terrible things.

It’s really neat how much lore is actually in games like this. I always thought it was just Batman fighting villains but then you see it’s so much more than that. I really liked how you showed different clips and comic book strip pieces too that just help build a better picture and the subtitles help too Keep up the great vids 👍

I don't think the comic about Jason being tortured is canon because why would he kill rat catcher someone who didn't torture him but he would work with two face and scarecrow who we saw in the comic tortured him

Ima tell u the most disturbing one imo that isnt on this list, its that once we started playing batman arkham asylum for the first time in our life times and all of us loved it so much we come back to it every year or so (depends on who), and coming back to batman arkham asylum feels like home... And thats something batman was always afraid of, thinking that it could happen at some Point of his vigilante career.

I got here through tik tok, and I just love your content, in Brazil we have few good content from the Arkham saga. And about the subtitles in the video, for those who don't know English very well like me, it helps a lot.

Great job with the vids you are keeping the Arkham series alive

Great video! This makes me want to go and play all of the arkham games....You definitely need to do another one.

I never thought much about that baptism line much, but now . . . Oh. My. God. It creates quite the scenario in the mind, but I am choosing not to dwell on it for obvious reasons. Thing is, Joker would absolutely find it hilarious.

The Arkham games are like a speedrunning challenge on how to put some of the most eeriest & creepy details at every corner in a game.

Ok whoever wrote the comics detailing Jason's torture is seriously fucked up. Making Jason go through all of that for over a year is disgusting and completely unnecessary. The stuff that was in the game was already pushing the limit. But then showing all the villains taking turns beating the shit out of Jason and then the hints at sexual abuse crosses the line. I'm actually disgusted by the people who created that. That was as close to torture porn as you can get. How does adding all of that enhances Jason's story? It doesn't. It was completely unnecessary, especially since this was happening to a minor. I despise rapists, and now I'm wondering which Batman villain did this company turn into a *fucking child rapist*. Good to know this company hates Jason more than the people who wanted him to die all those decades ago. Even those fans didn't wish for this kid to be raped.

Great video, “love” hearing about how dark villains get

Gentle reminder that Joker killed a nurse and left her body in a room full of about 20ish infants

I'm pretty certain the Arkham Knight comics aren't canon, since they have Bane being killed by Jason, but in the actually game, it's revealed Bane is not only still alive, but left the country to return to Santa Prisca, recovering from his addiction to Venom and vowing to destroy the prison that made him what he was.

Kudos. These WERE disturbing and I had no idea about them.

The most disturbing detail is that Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is canon.

I don't know if these are a complation of shorts but impressive you talk this fast without shuddering

Love the vid. I was aware of most of the intel. I still play all of them over and over. They are by far my favorite. Thanks

A small addition: The Joker tells Batman in the Origins prequel that a crazy man sold him an amusement park without specifying that he and Harley brought him to this.

"....have a great day!" Welp, I'll sure try after all that! 😅

The details in these games are truly incredible

Fear is the most primal emotion, so the Dollotrons experiencing it doesn't seem all that shocking, and Detective Mode bases it purely on heart rate, which is something that could be influenced by a lot of things.

That’s one of the main things I first loved about the Arkham games as a kid-I discovered what lore was and kept digging lol……I remember being the only one that figured the idea that Batman was close to finding Jason in the Asylum-people in comments were calling me a reaching fanboy, now it’s comic accurate lore in itself!

holy shit mad hatters was disturbing i had no idea

Not a disturbing detail, but disturbing how much attention the devs paid, with how, when you look at Barbara with Detective Mode, you can see her shot through spine.

Best video I’ve seen from you so far 🔥🔥

your pretty much right with all these points rocksteady could try making a horror game and god dang it it would be disturbing maybe

I love your videos you should make longer ones 😔

Hey I have noticed your great detective skills and I have to say I’m impressed,you should make a video to where riddler was in Arkham origins he seems to be hiding somewhere in a place where he uses a lot of electricity to his advantage probably Gotham light and power

I enjoyed this video keep em coming bro ❤

Funny how people find some of the stuff so "disturbing" when the real world we actually live in is way worse with many more crimes happening night and day.

Arkhamverse is the best universe in the superhero genre. The hidden details, ambient environment, the stories are superb, the characters are so well acted; Everything is just so well done. All the games including Arkham origins black gate edition.

The "Just shut up and do it" part killed me!😂😂😂😂

I feel bad for Jason, even if he becomes a pretty bad dude.

Omg you’re the guy I always see on TikTok. I didn’t know you had a yt. Automatic sub

Arkham Asylum had shut down prior to Arkham City, and Blackgate is mentioned to have been converted to a mall, so I imagine whatever prison replaced Blackgate is where Sharp was held.

This is why I fell in love with these games. I've always loved batman but these games really brought out the horror aspect of his story and his villian's stories.

Now that i hear roger craig batman voice (The calm one, not the angry voice) Now i believe that rojer can be a good successor to the late kevin

Batman games will never be the same without Kevin Conroy

The Kidnapped Girl saying "No, it's not" could mean Mad Hatter did literally anything. It's amazing how much you've read into that.

I had either missed that audio about the park builder or had forgotten about it. Really drives the point home how evil Joker and Harley are.

like the vids streams keep ‘em up

Well in the original comic, pyg was assigned to an experiment were they would wipe out someone's identity. Even making the person forget who they were. But thing is the pyg was exposed to the wipeout drug and forgot who he was, it also made him insane. So if his mother wasn't abusive in the games then I think he would still end up being the psycho we all know him as.

Something I quite like about these details is that a lot of them don't have too much attention drawn to them: they're either implied, off-hand comments or details that you have to find yourself; because, to me, it really shows how normal it is for the events to occur, making everything that much more darker

Please please do another video like this. It’s so good but so creepy. What do you think is the worst one?

You're probably correct on the blackwater theory being a catholic church. But it could also be Baptist church where you're not baptized as an infant but as an adult. And a lot of southern preachers are baptists

I haven't read the comics myself, but us it outright stated or just implied that Jason was a victim of SA?
