Corrections and Clarifications: Season of Infamy is part of the main Knight campaign, hence me not mentioning it. I didn't think I'd have to explain that, but I apparently do. Yes, I found the Origins Deathstroke fight boring and reptitive. If you like it, that's fine.

The second he said "the underrated game 'Batman Arkham Origins', I was like THANK THE LORD, SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS

Calendar Man is a very serious threat....to your gamer score if you want to 100% Arkham City. His achievement was a pain in the ass.

12:14 *T H E F O O K I N G C A L E N D A R M A N*

I actually enjoyed Arkham Origins.. *Runs into nuclear shelter*

The idea of Batman's career spanning only a decade is beyond absurd anyway.

Major opportunities missed. Jason should've been robin in a matter of family. Not tim.

8:40 It's actually explained that these hallucinations happen because Batman only took a half dosage of the cure (Saving the other half for Joker) and thus wasn't completely healed.

Convoluted is not good enough of a word to describe this shit. This is pretty insane. I can easily see someone's mind crash trying to put this together. I wouldn't blame you if you tried to become the Joker after this.

Batman isn't seeing visions of the Joker because of the sickness. It's because Batman was introduced to Scarecrows more potent fear toxin and hes seeing his worst fear haunt him. I.e. the Joker returning to life, or worse, Batman BECOMING the Joker. Edit: Holy shit i did not know this got so many likes, i wrote this 2 years ago and forgot about it. Thank you all so much

So that means in Arkham Asylum when we were walking the halls Jason was getting tortured.

I was thinking that the Arkham Knight was Jason Todd but I did not want to believe it. But when they showed the torture scenes then they pretty much confirmed that it was Jason. Then at the reveal, Batman's like "Who are you?" While everyone else knows. It's not good writing if the player knows who the masked person is before the protagonist.

"Deathstroke only ends up with a shit boss fight..." Me: *Spits out drink*

Somebody: What month is it Someone else: look at the 12:15

You are right they did retcon the story because now its an 8 year gap between Origins and Asylum, which gives much more possibilities and a realistic time frame.

Batman Arkham origins was the game that got me into the series.I had become very interested in comic culture and my brother game me his old Batman Arkham origins game.I loved it and it in the end got me more interested comic culture.Im thankful for it and I’m glad it’s considered canon

Joe chill no chill

never noticed the mARK HAMil, im having it - thanks baby. 9:40 for mgsv memes

I’d like to think that sometime between City and Knight, Flash changed the timeline.

yeah i don't count the arkham comics because they are confusing

This feeling of the Arkham series’ quality in story telling went from BTAS to Batman and Robin the movie.

Holy shit I think I just developed a tumor for just trying to piece the timeline together

Bane is not just a "luchador".

“Origins is set five years before Asylum.” Make that eight years, Knight says Origins was ten years before it and Asylum was two years before it. Makes way more sense if you ignore the expanded universe

Though I like the game, I honestly believe Origins was the definitive reason why the Arkham timeline was ruined. There are millions of inconsistencies with it and all the other games and supplementary material, I’d say Origins isn’t canon with the timeline at all, but Knight made it canon with Deathstroke and Firefly, I feel like Rocksteady was trying to be nice to WB Montreal in a way saying “oh, don’t worry guys, Origins is canon and we’ll mention the events of that game a few times in Knight” but from doing that, they created more inconsistencies. For example, Firefly mentions in Knight that him and Batman haven’t fought since the events in Origins, even though in a character bio for Firefly in both Asylum and City, they state Batman and Firefly have fought multiple times. The thing is, I absolutely love the Arkham franchise, I love the lore, gameplay, and stories. I actually really like Knight, even though a lot of people were disappointed with it, but yeah, mostly because of Origins and other comics, the timeline is really screwed up.

Out of this entire mess of a story, the only thing that I honestly really hate is that Barb and Tim are a thing. I just... ugh. It's supposed to be Dick and Barb!

You see this hole series is just crazy just wait till the next game comes out which is getting revealed in August

"shit boss fight" Are you serious??? The Deathstroke fight is the 3rd best boss fight in the Arkham series!

The final timeline review is a thing of beauty and is more cohesive than I thought. Excellent job.

Now Superman is part of the ArkhamVerse.

And now to further complicate this shit show is the suicide squad game supposedly being cannon

I have the game I thought harley Quinn was thick af

The Deathstroke boss fight is one of the best boss fights it isn’t shit.

"Master Bruce, I've been through the candidates for your various superhero costume designs..." "Batsuit, Alfred. It's a Batsuit. What's your recommendation?" "This one, sir. Flexible, and incredibly durable. Not only that but darkly imposing. Should strike fear into the heart of Gotham's underworld." "Nice. What's with this mouthpiece though?" "Oh, that? Hmm. I know it ruins the look somewhat, but it satisfies the one major drawback to this design." "I have to be able to do my voice, Alfred. That's key to the intimidation factor. So what do we lose without it?" "Err... poison resistance. Unlikely, I know! But I thought it prudent to cover all..." "..." "Shall I at least keep the design documents, sir? In case one or more of these costumed miscreants should ever..." "..." "As you wish."

You’re the only person I’ve ever heard call the Deathstroke boss fight “shit.” It’s actually regarded as one of the best in the series by the community. You’re right though.. Origins is extremely underrated. I hope we get Origins 2 in the near future.

Batman Arkham Timeline BAT

I love Arkham Asylum, particularly the atmosphere. Also killer croc's level still terrifies me.

i just watched every fucking single second of the video. the timeline is more confusing than i thought it would be

In the flip of a coin dlc a thug mentions the “demon bat” but he refers to it simply ad “ghost.”

I'm so glad that you showed off the timeline, yet at the same time, still giving your thoughts and opinions about this game series.

I rewatch this video all the time for some reason

The court of Owls would be a great story but because of the constant Joker wank fest won't happen also it could introduce his brother Thomas Wayne Jr. aka Lincoln Monarch. He would have been a better character to have instead of Jason Todd.

“Underrated Arkham Origins” YES!! FUCK YES!!

Also Calendar Man is a badass in some comics, he once crippled the entirety of Gotham following the beginning of the new millennium with him completely losing his mind.

The Arkham Series: great games with a confusing time line

For me the Arkham timeline is like this: Before Arkham: Ra 's al Ghul is born, ra's al Ghul created wonder city, Cyrus pinkney story happened (as shown in Arkham origins),Amadeus Arkham opens Arkham asylum but he goes crazy and is his own prison that he created, Bruce Wayne is born, Thomas and Martha Wayne are shot in front of Bruce Wayne (8 years old) in crime Ally by Joe chill, Bruce Wayne goes to training, Arkham origins initiation happened. Year 1: Bruce Wayne returns to Gotham city and later that year he becomes Batman and helps to stop calendar man Year 2:a failed comedian is forced to steal from ace chemicals by the falcone crime family and later from a fight with Batman he becomes the joker, Batman Arkham origins (prequel comic),in december 24-25th happened Batman Arkham (Main Game),in december 31 happened Batman Arkham origins cold cold heart. Year 3:in March happened Batman Arkham origins blackgate (prologue) and in april is the rest of the Game,in september Arkham Asylum is opened (again). Year 4: dick Grayson's parents are killed in Haley Circus, later that year dick becomes the 1st Robin. Year 5: ln November the events of Batman Arkham origins multiplayer Happened. Year 6:Jason todd meets Batman after he is stealing the tires of the Batmovile. Year 7: Barbara Gordon becomes Batgirl And Harleen Quinzel and the Batman Arkham Knight Gotham City story Masquerade(we can read this in Batgirl Begins, Batgirl/Harley Quinn Special and Masquerade),Jason Todd becomes the 2nd Robin, Later in that Year The Joker Kills a bunch of children in a school setting Jason todd to the edge and he goes to Arkham asylum to Kill the Joker but he is caught by him in an abandoned wing in Arkham Asylum(You can read this in the Arkham Knight Gotham city story:the fall). Year 8:Tim Drake becomes Robin after Dicovering Batman's and Nightwing's identities, later that year Joker sends a film where he "kills"Jason Todd ,also the The Events of the Arkham Episode "a family Matter" Happened in this year, Barbara Gordon is paralyzed by The Joker and later that year Barbara becomes Oracle and also the events of the Animated Film Assault On Arkham Happened. Year 9:??? Year 10: poison Ivy sends spores that kill a lot of people, road to Arkham and Arkham Asylum (Main game) Happened In May. Year 11: in November 19th of that year Arkham City is opened Year 12: The Events of Batman Arkham City Happened, Batman Endgame(#1), Batman Arkham City Harley Quinn 's Revenge (flashback) and then the rest of the DLC ,the rest of the Batman Arkham Endgame comics, Batman Arkham Knight Riddler's Gambit(Novel), Batman Arkham prequel comics(most of them), Batman Arkham Knight Génesis (present day), Harley Quinn 's story pack,between october 30-31 the events of Batman Arkham vr, Batman Arkham Knight and season of infamy happened,later that year the events of catwoman 's revenge, Red hood 's story pack, nightwing and flip of a coin Happened. Year 17: Suicide Squad kill the Justice league

So this timeline is gonna need to be edited with the ss game

It was so obvious that Jason Todd was Arkham Knight

I can see how much research you put in here you just earned a sub

This is a perfect example of why you don’t have your franchise branch out into every other media imaginable, it ALWAYS causes story problems in your story driven game and all it achieves is a sour taste & frustration. Not sure if rocksteady wanted it to have all this expanded content but if they did then they should’ve been checking it even lined up

The moment you realize that he used return to arkham footage instead of the superior original

I loved Arkham Origins. I personally think its the best one in the series. And holy shit I had no idea this series had such a crazy time line hahaha

I feel like Arkham Knight is the weakest in terms of story. Should have kept Paul Dini

Batman was real cavalier with the Joker in Arkham Asylum considering he killed Jason and crippled Barbara in a span of 10 months before that.

For as much work as you put into these entries, you should have WAY more views. People don't know what they're missing.

This was amazingly put together thank you very much. Keep up the good work 👍

Nahhhhhh the "I'm sorry but..... no" did it in for me LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣

I can only imagine how much work and patience went into this video. Great work!

So Joker built the whole his whole turf in Arkham City, in two months Seems legit

The Joker in this game franchise is just absolutely impeccable. Honestly might be my favorite character in a video game.

I love the games but they really really really condensed the timelines too much. AO should have been roughly 8-9 years before AA, AC should have been 2.5 years, after AA, and AK should have been another 2 years on. That would have given Dick time to have been robin, stop, being Robin, be replaced by Jason, have Jason be kidnapped, get Barbra as BG sometime in the 8 years, and have him with with Tim and have her and time be about the same age, perhaps a year younger than Jason. It just all was so condensed that it is a little too much to suspend disbelief. MO only....

The Arkham Timeline is very confusing.

Whats convoluted is why batman went from arkham origins suit to tights and underwear(yes I know origins wasn't thought of yet but still).

Batman VR is a nightmare that Bruce had

23:37 thats lookin like mark brown's Super Metroid map lol

Since Arkham Origins until Arkham Knight have been 20 years later, I guess

My headcanon is that the cure only helped physically

Don't forget that Vicky was also saved by Batman in city from jokers men when her helicopter crashed

*Speaks of Arkham games* *Show Return to Arkham footage* hm

23:24 well, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League did just that, and ruin the entire Arkham series overall.

30:08 Actually it's stated through dialogue that Red Hood has taken out several other villains in Gotham City before like Killer Moth and Black Spider

So as far as I can tell with all incarnations of Batman, Bruce's parents die on Christmas Eve or very close to it when he was eight. From then until around the time Bruce is 25-30 he travels the world and studies under varies instructors usually ending with the League of Assassins. After he leaves the LoA Bruce returns to Gotham and starts the design and construction of the cave using the naturally formed cave system under the manor. Bruce usually dons the suit for the first time around the age of mid twenties early thirties. For the first two years he is regarded as a myth and the police have a standing warrant for his arrest. The decade that follows depends on the writer or universe, but the order of the Robins remains consistent: Dick-> Jason -> Tim-> ?-> Damien (if Talia lives long enough to birth him). The question mark represents the off shoot sidekicks he employs between Tim becoming Red Robin (yum!) and Damien becoming the next Robin after. (Sometimes Tim is skipped entirely and Damien is never born like in DKR where Tim's spot is taken by Carrie Kelly). Other than that there is a giant blank for any writer DC assigns all that has to be added is Supervillain emergence. Personally, I want to see a Noir style detective Batman that faces Professor Pyg, Hush, Dr. Death, or one of the other more unique villains rather than the usual rouges gallery.

Liked as soon as I heard you say that Origins was “Underrated”

"I'm sorry, but... no." HA, too good.

Tf? Deathstroke’s fight in origins is objectively one of the best, if not the best In the entire series.

This proves why you put the origin first... Unless you tease the origin stuff in all games until its made

It's a crime that you don't already have 100k subs SMH BRO You literally make videos about so many different things that I'm interested in if I were a youtuber I'd do a shtick pretty similar to yours so your like a dream content creator for me keep up the videos man they're great for killing my time !

Hey, uh, I just wanted to apologize for calling you out over at that Mortal Kombat video I can't find. Personal Messages are gone from KZfaq now so this is the best I can do to contact you. You do hard work and it's appreciated

I could be wrong here, but my understanding is that the secret Arkham City plans room in Arkham Asylum was patched in by an update, and would not have been there on launch day.

Bro the insanity that is the days before Arkham asylum in the prequel comic. He took down so many villains and literally without rest he takes down more in just a single night. This version of batman is so incredible he’s almost superhuman

One thing I don’t get, if multiplayer is after the main campaign of Origins, then how is Bane still the same? Because at the end he injects TN-1 and becomes the Bane we see in Asylum and City, so how has he gone back to normal?

I think just for this you deserve a lot more subs..!

Jason was not under the asylum he was in a abdon wing

This series gives all these people the superhuman ability of time management. Dick learned everything Bruce knew in the span of about a year? Jason managed to amass and train the militia in about 3? Who did they have building those tanks?

I’ve never read a single Batman comic in my entire life and it was so beyond obvious that Jason Todd was the Arkham Knight. I don’t understand how anyone at Rocksteady thought that would be ok

So rare to see somebody else who has actually been exposed to all the minor stories and games. Great summary! By the way you missed the Arkham Knight novelization but it’s harder to get through than Riddler’s Gambit and has its own continuity issues as it just relates to the main games. Probably just to discount it as an “alternate telling” of the Knight story.

Origins should have been 12 years before Asylum, gives way more breathing room for all the plots to develop

To make things worse rocksteady said that origins actually takes place more then a decade before asylum

I thought the Arkham Knight showed up after the events of arkham city after bruce flies away

5:09 that was smart as hell congrats 👌

I'm personally of the theory that the new "demon bat" is Azrael. And perhaps his form of vengeance will be akin to his more "brutal" style of justice like his 90's debut, maybe Tim or Dick will defeat said Archangel Batman and eventually one of them will take up the mantle of Batman so Bruce can retire in peace.

The timeline is pretty accurate although one thing that would’ve made the timeline way clearer is that Arkham Origins was retconned to be 15 years before Asylum, not 5. I imagine that makes the timeline way easier and make a lot more sense

If Batman Arkham knight was about the teen titans the teen titans would probably take about 6 days to take down every Batman enemy

Such a underated youtuber :,)

Why am I watching this? I must have played an arkham game about 3 years ago...

Deathstroke boss fight in Origins was fire wth??

Why Doesn’t Anyone Ever Talk About Batman Begins On The Original Xbox Very Underrated Game!

None of those Arkham Unhinged comics and graphic novels (like the one that gave you the AK Batman Incorporated code and the one where Harley saves Joker from being executed by security guards and get into Arkham City via the sewers) are canon. They simply can't be. They conflict with a lot of other stuff like Tim's appearance in Matter of Family, Lucius losing a finger and the asylum getting destroyed by explosives etc...

I believe that WB Games Montreal just teased Court of Owls game...

So...Batman is 37 years old on Arkham Knight
