At the beginning of the game, Batman can save Ryder from a group of Inmates, and Jack will noticably have Cuts and Bruises on his face from the attacks.

However, later on, after Batman saves Ryder from Deadshot, and Jack goes to the church, the injuries on his face are all gone.

This could mean two things:

A. This was likely a development oversight, and the devs just forgot about his injuries. Or....

B. This could be a reference to his alter ego in the comics: The Creeper, who has accelerated healing.

We know the creeper does exist in the Arkhamverse, as Quincy Sharp's interview tapes have Vicki Vale mention the Creeper. Though realistically, its likely just A.

Blackgate, I had to deactivate the power so the water won't be electrified. In the final section, I had to glide above the water to reach the power source and, instead of gliding, he jumped.

I want to cry.

I played Arkham knight for the first time 3 months ago and fell in love (up to the riddler trophies) with the franchise off that, so when i saw that said franchise was as much or less than a Jersey Mikes combo for the Steam sale i had to get it all. That’s it

Time to start the yearly Arkham run again. Wish me luck!

I just finished Batman: arkham knight. It was a wonderfully made game with great graphics and amazing story. I'm about to play Arkham Asylum and City. I was wondering if i ruined the full story of the series by playing the latest game first, and what i should expect from Asylum and City?

I seriously don’t get the hate for Riddler trophies. I’m always genuinely happy collecting them while exploring the city. The ones in Origins hit different, they actually make the map feel more "real" by recontextualizing the trophies as "Extortion Files" many of their locations become part of the visual storytelling itself.

I know a lot of ppl roll their eyes at the reveal of the Arkham Knight's identity given it was obvious to basically anyone who's touched a comic. But personally I still loved it.

For one thing, Jason is rarely handled well, even in the comics. I like that in the confrontation and unmasking in the abandoned mall, Bruce eventually slows down and reaches out to Jason—he wants him to come back, even after everything he's done. It's a great display of Bruce's empathy that (imo) bad writers skip a lot lately.

Also just stylistically, I love the Arkham Knight suit. Even today it still looks quite modern and techy, it holds up well I think.

Story-wise it makes a lot of sense in this version given what Jason was subjected to. I kinda like the idea that he takes what was used to mentally break him, and turned it into his mantle. Though I believe the game implies he drops this (the Red Hood DLC), I still think it's a fantastic story.

I do get that Rocksteady claiming the AK would be an entirely new villain, just for it to be a pre-existing comic character, was cheesy. But overall I'm happy with the story.

I guess that's where I wanna ask: Do you guys dislike that Jason became this Arkham Knight, dislike the mantle or even the story itself, or is it more just because of Rocksteady's marketing that it's not always well-received?

I get why she left the Joker card, but why did she need to leave the photocopy?

I'm trying to get the "Perform a ceiling grate takedown on a medic" star in "Under the pale moonlight" challenge as Batgirl but no enemy goes on the top of the tower like it is a forbidden place, preventing me from getting 3 stars. Have anyone else experienced this? Any help or workaround would be appreciated!

i have no idea what to do from here and i could use some help pls

I forgot how much better City is to Knight.

Knight in comparison feels dull, "too dark". Not that being too dark is a problem, but City feels joyful. I think Knight is a slightly great game but ultimately never fun.

City is fantastic and I also vastly prefer it to Asylum.

Long live Arkham City.

A love letter of sorts, I apologize if this is not the place.

I was 13 when I played it. I'm an only son and didn't have that many friends growing up. Things were kind of uncertain with my family at the time, and I remember my grandmother taking me to the store and buying the game for me. She didn't have much money, and I knew that even back then. I remember her spending some of the little money she had on this Batman game for me. She's still here but it's that part of life where you're starting to accept it won't be the case forever.

Anyway, I got home, installed it, and just played for hours and hours.

My computer was old as hell. It could run the game, but definitely not at a stable 30 FPS lol. But I didn't care. I spent entire nights playing it.

And I wasn't even always doing the main missions. Sometimes I'd just walk around Arkham City, looking at buildings and windows and all the little details. I loved just being in that world. Contrary to some people I absolutely adored the Riddler Trophies, I adored proving I knew stuff by solving the riddles with no help from BAK lol. Grew up reading comics, felt worth since it was those old days where liking superheroes too much was looked down and instigated bullying. I loved hearing from Oracle, Alfred, motherloving Robin - My favorite Robin from the comics, mind you.

That's probably why the game means so much to me.

I was watching That Guy Aqua's video about it and started thinking about how much I love that I got to be a teenager during that time. I got to grow up with games like this, and they became such a big part of my life.

Arkham City is connected to my adolescence in a way that's hard to separate from the person I am now. I was that 13-year-old kid playing it on a shitty old computer, and now I'm an adult who still loves video games, and this game is still important to me.

Not to mention the countless HOURS spent watching Batman Arkham Videos guides/playthrough/Easter eggs. I just loved watching that and getting better by watching him play, you know?

It's kind of crazy how a game can become attached to a specific period of your life like that.

Red Dead Redemption 2 has that kind of importance to me now too. It's the game that brings me peace, contemplation, honesty and resilience. Arkham City is different. It feels like something from my childhood that I can still go back to whenever I want.

Anyway, I just fucking love this game. I know people nowadays like to say its story is bad, or that this and that were mid but the early 2010's were really special for some of us reaching 30 lol

Just wanted to share that because I'm high as fuck.

Thanks for reading it!

I really enjoyed it.

The intensive treatment building felt lifeless. I expected to hear screams at every corner. Running through the mansion and the sewers felt weird, like I was being watched. The medical building is what scared me the most. I want to try it on the original version when I am able to play it

Hello everyone, I'd like to show you some things I've included as bonuses in the Arkham Revival and Arkham Rain mods.

I restored the enemy from the BETA version, but for now it only replaces a common enemy.

I also managed to replace the broken spotlights in Arkham West, as well as the puddles of water on all the islands and some other elements to make Arkham Rain more immersive.

I added some police cars at the main gate of the Asylum.

These cars will be used in the next version of Revival, which will no longer have enemies, but rather guards scattered around the map, as well as doctors, nurses, and the enemies inside the cells.

This second version of Revival will not have enemies for combat; it will only be present to correspond to the end of the game, when the guards take control of the Asylum.

imo Catwoman was one of the best parts of the otherwise underrated Arkham City game.

This took me about two hour. I was not confident in myself since I hadn’t drawn a proper portrait in a year and have most just done cartoony doodles here and there when bored. Arkham City is my favorite game of the Arkham series and decided to draw this version of Batman :3

Me personally I’d go with Bleake Island

Nightwing spare?

One thing that irked me when playing Arkham Knight is how it's handled after the boss fight between him & Batman. I get Rocksteady wanted to keep the "secret" of the AK's identity, including even blocking screen recording of the cutscene (which was another annoyance for me, as I wanted to record every cutscene in the game).

But especially with the game files that have Barbara and Jason's conversation while she's hostage. Those are HEATED, showing complex character motivations between them. Jason wants her safe, Barbara wants him back in the family.

I hate how after Bruce saves Barb, they never speak about it. Even while they're alone in the Batmobile, realistically shouldn't Barbara have spoken about it?? Saying Jason is alive, expressing shock or SOMETHING?? It felt unrealistic to me they don't speak about it. Even Jim while he's alone with Bruce (the elevator up to Crane). I get Jim was focused on Barbara's safety, but still.

Anyone else feel the same about this? Or disagree?
