My beef with Origins is that it doesn't have the two lead voices I want (though Craig Smith and Baker do very well), tends to go buggy on me, and has a poor story overall. I in particular find the crime-scene-investigation missions a bit tedious.
But the AO score is awesome! Christopher Drake knows what he's doing. I wish he'd be more involved with the Batman films.
And in other vids :
A question for me? If so, Catwoman is actually the top seed in the contest.
I agree, Arkham Asylum is my favorite of the series. I like it, as it focuses on the story and it's small scale. A great start to the series. Arkham City is a close second, for its villain's portrayals, and surprises you don't truly see coming. A few tweaks, with boss fights and a certain character rewrite, and Arkham Knight would truly be as great as Asylum and City.
I never played much of Arkham Origins, so I can't judge. I also think that its studio wanted Gotham Knights to truly follow the Arkham Trilogy like Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. But Rocksteady and others told them no. I have yet to play Gotham Knights, but I am interested.
Two of my other favorite Batman videogames are Vengeance and Begins for Xbox. A lot of great memories of playing those, growing up and now.
@MaxCasino, you make an excellent comment about the scale. Arkham Asylum can be beaten, Riddler Trophies included, in a reasonable amount of time. Arkham City takes a lot longer but is still doable. Arkham Knight... Oh boy. If you really want to get all those Riddler Trophies and whatnot, you'll have to play for weeks if not months on end. That's my only beef with AK. Because I'm the kind of player who wants to do it all... and yet, here I am, complaining about all that playable content being too much. ;-)
Look the twist is beyond stupid but they took detective mode up to 11
I wish we could have an origins 2 to be honest
My ranking
1. Origins
2. City
3. Asylum
4. Blackgate
5. Orgins for the ipad
6. Then Knight
I hated arkham knight despite playing in the keaton bat suit the game was still horrible
And again spoliers
joker being the main bad guy of all four games was well annoying and beyond stupid i still think some how joker will be the main villain of sucide squad kills the justice league
That being said i hope to get an xbox series x soon so i can play gotham knights which i dont care what people say in my head works better as a follow up to arkham knight then sucide squad
Also also there was a origins 2 in development with (shock horror) joker not as the main villain…
Its been a while since i looked up info about it but it was to show case Robin’s origins two face was the main villain i beilieve bigger map then Knight with haley’s circus being playable location etc
There was also a Batman Beyond Arkham game that featured Damian wayne as batman that some character art work was leaked that also got scrapped because Wb doesnt want to make money i guess

You have more patience than I have, @Creasy47!
I think I came back and had about 80-85% or so already found, so thankfully there weren't too many lingering out there, but holy hell the in-game list of them compared to trying to actually find them cohesively was the worst part. I thought the solutions and whatnot would be, but nope, it was trying to scratch them off as I went along and not overlook one in a corner that I'd never find again. Definitely a pain.
I think the worst ones were when I'd have to press a button on a rooftop, dive down, hop in the Batmobile, and drive with perfection to the final button to unlock one.
A nice opportunity for Bat-fans. I had the privilege of seeing all three in the same night at a theater coinciding with the midnight release of The Dark Knight Rises back in the day. Was an awesome time. I’ll likely just stick to watching one Batman film at home if I remember the special day - probably Burton’s original.
I would do the same. I also heard that some theaters are playing Batman 89 and Joker. My top 5 favorite live action versions of Batman (and Joker). Ironically, I view The Dark Knight Trilogy as one long movie.
Don't get me started on those. That's when the fun is being sucked out of a game and I'm basically doing tedious homework. When games become too challenging, I start losing my appetite.
Well said. It quickly becomes miserable and ruins any sense of fun.
The JOKER won – barely over the CATWOMAN.
While we were specifically asked to vote for the “character” and not necessarily for the performer, that was almost impossible – at least for me as Frank Gorshin, Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero and Julie Newmar made quite the impression back in the day.
And, of course, many of the “second tier” villains like George Sanders / Otto Preminger / Eli Wallach (MR. FREEZE), Roddy McDowall (THE BOOKWORM), Van Johnson (THE MINSTREL), Shelley Winters (MA PARKER), Vincent Price (EGGHEAD), Cliff Robertson (SHAME), David Wayne (THE MAD HATTER) and Malachi Throne (FALSE FACE) were great as well! A virtual “who’s who” of film and TV stars. What Fun!
This might be controversial, but I found George Sanders as Mr. Freeze far superior to Otto Preminger and Eli Wallach, who leaned too far into hamfisted camp. I also found Van Johnson's The Minstrel to be somewhat boring, though his episode had a decent script. But I fully agree with anyone who praises Roddy McDowall's Bookworm, Vincent Price's Egghead, Cliff Robertson's Shame, David Wayne's Mad Hatter, and Malachi Throne's False Face. The latter might be the best of all the second-tier villains, and it's a shame he never returned. Apparently the producers thought he was too sinister, but why is that a bad thing in a villain?
Thirty-one years ago today, this highly influential classic was shown to the public for the first time. Happy anniversary Batman: The Animated Series! You have proven to be a timeless classic that is arguably the best version of Batman.
31 years I can't believe it, I remember watching the show debut. The Mask of the Phantasm is still my favorite Batman film.
Nonsense, son! The best Batman film remains Batman '66.
I mean, MOTP!

I really hope we see more comic book characters in this. I could see Dr. Hugo Strange, Toyman, Professor Pyg, and a few other characters fitting in this world well.
Neither did I. She was an adequate Catwoman, but there wasn't much electricity between her and Batman. West and Keaton had better luck with their Catwomen.
My feeling was that the movie started out strong but lost steam in the third act, which didn't seem as tightly written as the previous two. The Riddler became less interesting as the movie went on. Nor was the running time justified (why does every movie have to be three hours long nowadays?). But Pattinson was an effective mopey Batman and the movie was enjoyable enough to merit a sequel.
