Few things to address, since I've gotten a lot of comments I don't want to individually respond to with the same general message. 1. I stand by the Barbara hallucination being a slay. You just can't excuse the glass bullet holes in any logical way other than someone being in there and shooting themselves. 2. Francine is dead. It doesn't matter if she was revived and became She-Bat after the fact. I established this in City and Origins. Even if a character is revived, if they flatline, they go on the Sum. Francine was considered deceased when we saw her body in the lab, so she goes on the sum. 3. Alfred and Batman aren't dead after Knightfall. There's no concrete evidence to whatever Knightfall was, so there's no way to say if they're alive or dead. Furthermore, the simple fact that this would require Bruce killing, not only himself, but Alfred, is just too ridiculous for me to consider it true.

When crane sprays clownpuncher with fear toxin, he hallucinates city of fear. Not because it’s scary, but because of the number of corpses

This is how it happened… This is how clownpuncher lost his mind

The year is 2036, ClownPuncher is in the game industry. While leaving for his lunch break, he overhears one of the map designers say "Why don't we put like, 50 something dead bodies here, it'll really help with the aesthetic." A vein swells on our Slay Summer's forehead, before he calms himself down to continue with his day

Plot twist: They lied about the tanks being unmanned and you actually murdered thousands

Rocksteady developers: Yea sure just throw in a bunch of bodies here and there. It adds atmosphere and its not like anyone is gonna count them.

Crane didn't want to breake Batman by making him see his allies killed and his city destroyed, he wanted to breake him by making count all the bodies. Your dedication is awesome man.

hearing clown swear and break down is the most emotional thing ive seen all day, its like seeing your old sweet grandpa swear except its the king chap himself

Can we take a moment to appreciate this mans dedication to counting these games

Slaysum: I'll break you clownpuncher Clownpuncher: no slaysum this time I break you

When Batman said ‘it’s batmaning time’ and batmaned all over the villains is definitely the moment of this video.

Dear Mr ClownPuncher I have NEVER spent money on youtube, i have never bought youtuber merch, but i had to thank you after this, i couldnt not, id give you 50 if i could, the sheer dedication, effort and hours just blow me away, i will never get tired of your content and i am in absolute awe that you managed to pull this off, i hope you blow up and go big Papa ClownPuncher139, you have my full support even into the afterlife. Love, Ashley

This is it. This is how the Clownpuncher lost his mind.

I just saw on wikipedia (so it could be completely unreliable) but according to the list of non-state attacks, Scarecrow with only city of fear, has made the 7th most deadly terrorist attack in history. The Joker wished he had Crane's capabilities

Probably what ClownPuncher thought after finishing this: “HAHAHAHA! SO LONG SLAY SUM! HELL OF A RIDE BUT I’M GETTING OFF!”

even though scarecrow is a supervillain, he managed to kill almost all of the criminal population of gothem.

The two calm ninjas were just meditating to preserve their life-force

Honestly I can’t believe he actually tried and did this even if it was just a community post saying you tried it but failed people would have understood but you were dedicated and did this and you deserve to be more known

Batman Arkham Knight Slay Slum aka ClownPuncher swearing, Crying, Raging, and going insane over numbers

The face scarecrow makes when he's screaming at the end of the game should have been the thumbnail

I think this game might have broken clownpuncher…I’m sure the words city of fear is just gonna bring flashbacks to this video.

If anyone wonders why there are no Kill Count channels for games, this video perfectly explains why. There are simply too many variables at play due to the interactive nature of video games. And like Clownpuncher said, this series doesn't even take into account player initiated deaths because you can't kill, besides the Diner scene in Knight. Imagine doing this for a game like Call of Duty or Vampyr, where you have the ability to kill as many people as you want. The only ones that wouldn't be hellish to count is like, specifically Telltale games. Either that or you place ridiculously strict restrictions on what can be counted as a death and what doesn't and that just isn't fun for anyone involved now is it?

Your dedication to counting all the corpses in this game is simply admirable.

Chears bro! Been waiting for this slay sum forever lol. Glad to see someone still actively making fantastic content on this franchise. Been watching your vids forever and don’t plan on stopping. You inspired me to actually get 240% in this game so I thank you for that too😄. Also have you ever considered starting a discord server?

Hats off to you clownpuncher for the city of fear endeavors of this challenge

The dedication this man puts into counting background body's that most people don't notice is something else. Also I imagine your going to do a slay sum for kill the justice league and gotham knights so can't wait for those is you decide to do them

Don’t even try committing to this like clownpuncher. He is a dedicated legend for doing this. This really matters

One thing I do thing you disregarded is that at least 20 militia deaths are player determined, as in ACE Chemicals the 20 outside the office can all be left conscious and able to presumably run while Batman was unconscious. That means whether those 20 died depends on whether the player enters the Batmobile without knocking any out, which will result in them running into the office.

Scarecrow: (kills 823 people) Batman and clownpuncher139 : WHAT THE FUCK GCPD: need a bigger morgue

That sort of dedication definitely deserves a reward! If it wasn't for the stupid cloudburst boss fight I would've replayed this game just as much as Arkham Asylum. 💀

This is how it happened. THIS is how the clownpuncher lost his mind

This dude has all of my respect for him doing this, hats off to you!

Crane got clownpuncher with his own city of fear with those 597 dead people 💀

I agree with the idea that when "Barbara" kills herself, it's the KOed militia member. We know he was left in there, we know it's filled with fear toxin, we know Barbara wasn't killed, and if we pay attention to Scarecrow's lines during the sequence, he doesn't mention Barbara at all until *after* Batman talks to her. This clues Scarecrow into understanding what Batman is seeing and plays up to it, feeding that fear by "confirming" she is present and when the person dies and Batman very dramatically reacts to it, Scarecrow pieces it together that Bats just saw Barbara Gordon kill herself. Batman is under the effect of fear toxin during the encounter and his biggest fear in that moment is losing Barbara, especially after his confrontation with Jim earlier. So naturally that's what he sees, mistaking the militia member previously left there as Barbara (who likely sees the terrifying monster Batman outside the window due to his own exposure to the toxin and decides to kill himself in his terror). The militia member dies, not from the Ivy smackdown but from suicide due to prolonged exposure to fear toxin and seeing Batman, tricking him into seeing Barbara kill herself instead.

Let's take a moment to appreciate Clownpuncher's hard work and dedication to the slay sums, especially this one

You're suffering is greatly appreciated, hopefully this gets a LOT more views

he is never going to play batman arkham knight anymore

This video prompted me to download the entire Arkham Saga again and play through all of them, including Origins of course.

I love the descent into madness that Clown puncher spirals into as the video goes on. This was a joy to watch! Love your videos man.

So I found your channel recently and binged it to death. Because of that I went out of my way to play arkham knight which I forgot I bought years ago and it was the only game in the series I never finished. Seeing this video on the game as I just now finished the game myself feels really fitting. Thanks for getting me back into the arkham series and playing what is now my favorite game in the series.

Welcome to the slay sum, where we tally up the victims in all our favorite video games. I’m clownpuncher139, and today we’ll be looking at Batman Arkham Knight, released in 2015

Man your gotta have PTSD flash backs anytime you play these games and find a random body

Did you know, that to play the role of Joker in Joker (2019) , Joaquin Phoenix tried to count the number of bodies in the City of Fear mission?

You, sir, are a mega chap for counting every body in the game, and of course I enjoyed your suffering as you did an island count after the city of fear.

Respect for this one man. I knew you would always do it but I knew how long it would take. glad the video came out as well as it did despite the difficulty of counting bodies but I think you handled it well

m8, you’ve outdone yourself with this video, crazy how this will be the last video in the arkham series, what a way to go out what a legend.

You put so much effort into this, i have the utmost respect for you

It’s darkly telling that even with nearly 600 deaths from the Cloudburst, Gotham still being overrun with criminals just shows how poisoned the City is. (Though I’ll assume many are from out of town)

Incredible video! Thanks for all of the effort ClownPuncher, we love you

There's a certain point where it goes well beyond "I could do that" This video is massively beyond that point. There is no way in hell that I could ever stomach going through all of this. I did something similar in the Resident Evil 2&3 remakes but there I could kind of count shots and stuff. This is so far beyond that and I would have gone insane even trying the City of Fear aftermath.

You’re channel is such an amazing thing that I found I am so grateful I found it starting with all bosses ranked thank you

Seriously, Scarecrow probably has the highest kill count in the Arkham series

that's some dedication, counting all the bodies after the cloud burst goes off. kudos to you.

YESS!!! Im so happy you did this slay sum i was rlly hoping there was one when watching slay sum for other akrham games the other day, TY!!

You have earned a new subscriber, I shall now proceed to spend the rest of my day binge watching your videos, good sir.

600 deaths alone is a lot but a lot lower then one would expect for killing 3 districts of a Coty center lol. Just nods to how effective the evacuation was

This guy has a mentality of a determined man. Thanks for making this for us king ❤

That's some real dedication! You deserve more subs just for this alone.

Love the guidelines for the channel rule 2: don’t be a jerk, unless it’s towards me Lol

I loved your over the top energy when you were getting mad about the kill count from city of fear made me laugh a few times and made the video more entertaining 😂👍🏽

One of the best KZfaq videos I have seen. I would say the effort was well worth it. Keep up the great work Clownpuncher! :)

About the diner scene: If you talk to Owens when he's sane again he'll tell you he can't live with himself for taking *_a_* life. Meaning his kill tally is 1. HOWEVER it's totally possible the person he killed is one of the bodies you see in the morgue. So whatever I guess. Side note: Owens' dialogue shows how the cops instinctively share Batman's no-kill rule, only breaking it if needed. Which I find pretty cool

I love how far you’ve come since you first started! Love your vids keep up the great work!!

Imagine if you didn’t have detective mode

I played through knight recently (couple months ago) and during it when I saw a body I was thinking this will be in the clownpuncher video I’m so glad that it is finally here li adore your vids so keep it up my guy

Gotta admire your dedication. Great content I really enjoyed this video.

Fun fact, you can open the door for the Batmobile without being detected by the group of militia at 8:34. From there you can skip the combat encounter entirely and just use the Batmobile eject to launch into the predator section. That'll save 20 dudes that won't be knocked out when the bomb goes off. Also I'm like 90% sure the helicopter at 10:43 is an oversight. The Militia will establish a watchtower in Eliott Memorial at the end of the game. I'm pretty sure the idea is supposed to be that the turrets on the tower shot down the helicopter, since that's what they're implied to be using the watchtowers for.

I love all your videos! Excited to see your reaction and gameplay to Gotham knights!

This is amazing. That you actually did this. Loved the video man! Hope one day we get some DLC Slay Sums butI know that will be awhile.

Bruh, when you said 73 were slain on the two airships at 19:00, Batman’s eyes widened right when you said that lol. Then he started grieving 😂

After seeing u go through all that, u have earned the subscription

Hearing ClownPuncher saying fuck makes me very happy for some reason

The slay sum series is one of my favourite series from your channel

Can we all just take the time to respect and appreciate this man for the amount of dedication he put into this Slay Sum. Thank you, ClownPuncher.

"Unheard of in Kill Count of Slay Sum history..." That took all of 2 days for Dead Meat to demolish with Dude Bro Part Massacre 3.

Francine in the Man Bat story isn't actually dead. There's an easter egg where you can discover that she as well changed into a bat. Arkham Knight fandom wiki also says her status is alive. Still with that amount of work, counting one additional slay with it only being proven wrong in an easter egg isn't anything bad.

LET’S GO I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Your Really Dedicated Dude, Props To You!

With dedication like this, you could work for the US census or something! On another note, your channel has been a favorite of mine starting this summer when I first found you. I've been playing the hell out of these games since Asylum came out, so it's good to see someone as enthusiastic about them as I am. Keep up the good work ClownPuncher!

And this is why Deadmeat hates counting bodies in the Purge movies. Riots always leads to a shit ton of bodies and most of them are hard to count. It’s funny that applies to both games and movies

Just one bad day can turn a man into Joker After having to count all those corpses I believe we will be dealing with "Batshooter" in the future

Clownpuncher realising that suicide squad has 8 billion bodies on earth 1 and 2 each to count:

I have played this game multiple times so I can understand why he yells in the beginning “notably NOT AT THE GLASS!”😂

The total amount of people dead in the Arkham Series is a whopping total of 1,389 people dead in total

This is probably the most I've heard Clownpuncher swear and I'm here for it

Bro made the airship sections look so short

ClownPuncher139 a man whose determination and willpower rivals Batman himself.

I've been waiting for this since the Origins video.

Now all he has to do is do all the games in 1 video for a complete and (semi) accurate total count

congrats on 40k clownpuncher139 keep up the good work

Finally great video dude

Kinda unrelated, but a really cool detail i noticed is the airships aren't immediately stationary at founders island. You can see them move across gotham and on the map as you progress.

That one rocksteady employee mindlessly copying and pasting these models to provide atmosphere.

Since you have to finish the sidequests to beat this game, it technically makes all of them part of the main story.

Honestly Man until this series i had never even thought of how Many Bodys were in the Arkham series let alone Arkham Knight and my god over 800 Bodys i honestly feel bad you had to do all that your very dedacated Man and my fav Arkham KZfaqr for sure i just think about how all thoses Bodys had to also be Programed into the game your Prob the first person to count them all and as you said you may have missed some it could be in the 900s or maybe even 1000s for all we know Thanks for the content Clownpuncher.

Just got back from school and I’m excited for this

Never stop making Batman Arkham videos please

This is genuine perseverance, dedication and downright loyalty to both the series and the fans. You have my full respect, ClownPuncher, take it easy now; you finally did, you're Number 1. BTW, when's Blackga-

I definitely killed someone as batman when the game glitched and sent me surfing on a thug all the way off the top of a skyscraper, my condolences to his family.

Fun fact in the remote helicopter fight at ace chemicals u can see the Arkham knight on the very top of the main ace chemicals building and u can shoot him with the riot cannon
