Video Description

Truly one of the Batman Arkham articles of all time HUGE shoutout to @GothamPaladin for reading through the article so that I could then respond to each of the points and debunk them! Go check out his great content if you haven't seen it already! Every once in a while, I happen to stumble across some takes about the Batman Arkham Series on the internet that are just so... terrible that it's like they're practically begging me to make a response debunking their points. In this case? It's an article written by "gaming journalists" about 10 things that make no sense across the Batman Arkham games. Except... Nearly every situation they mentioned actually has a very logical explanation and does indeed make sense, they just have no idea what they're talking about... When they're not completely misunderstanding fundamental aspects of characters like Batman, Joker, and Hugo Strange, they're blatantly just making stuff up about the Arkham games like how the Asylum apparently lets their patients run around in their standard costumes, or stuff about how Killer Croc and Scarecrow had a duel boss fight where they worked together to try and defeat the Dark Knight? Even of the few things they mentioned that I'd somewhat agree don't make much sense in the Arkham series, they somehow managed to use the absolute worst examples possible to back up their points. It's like they didn't even play the games! __________________________________________________________________________ The Batman Arkham article that we'll be responding to: - Batman Arkham: 10 Things About The Series That Make No Sense published by TheGamer The 10 points made in this Batman Arkham article that we'll be debunking (for the most part, there's like 2 that aren't so bad): - Number 10: The Villains’ Asylum Clothes in Batman: Arkham Asylum - Number 9: Batman Refuses Robin’s Help in Batman: Arkham City - Number 8: Titan Production At Arkham in Batman: Arkham Asylum - Number 7: Having Batman in Arkham Asylum in Batman: Arkham Asylum - Number 6: Hugo Strange’s “Strange” Plan in Batman: Arkham City - Number 5: Batman Has A Tank in Batman: Arkham Knight - Number 4: Hush’s Bruce Wayne Disguise in Batman: Arkham City - Number 3: Batman’s Immunity To The Explosive Gel in the Batman: Arkham franchise - Number 2: Penguin Captures Nightwing in Batman: Arkham Knight - Number 1: Scarecrow Surviving Killer Croc in Batman: Arkham Asylum __________________________________________________________________________ MUSIC USED: - The 25th Hour - Schlatt Crossing - Saving the Doctors (Batman: Arkham Asylum) - Stagg Airships (Batman: Arkham Knight) - Oracle Captured (Batman: Arkham Knight) - Panessa Studios (Batman: Arkham Knight) - Stealthy Bat (Batman: Arkham Asylum) - Last Stand (Batman: Arkham Knight) - Stagg Airships again (Batman: Arkham Knight) - Open World 1 (Batman: Arkham Origins) - Panessa Studios again (Batman: Arkham Knight) - Stealthy Bat again (Batman: Arkham Asylum) - Tarrey Town - Misty Lake __________________________________________________________________________ ARKHAM KNIGHT SUIT MOD USED: Batman Arkham City Suit made by MrBinkss: https://www.nexusmods.com/batmanarkhamknight/mods/1765 __________________________________________________________________________ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬CHAPTERS ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 - Intro 1:38 - Number 10 3:52 - Number 9 6:14 - Number 8 8:48 - Number 7 10:46 - Number 6 13:21 - Number 5 16:06 - Number 4 19:20 - Number 3 20:44 - Number 2 23:11 - Number 1 25:15 - 10 Things That ACTUALLY Don't Make Sense __________________________________________________________________________ According to Section 32 of the Copyright Act, B.
