Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that I had to make a cut in the video around the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew2vg50IT2c&t=5730">1:35:30</a> mark due to a dispute around copyright, so that's why there's a bit of an awkward transition there. What's missing is the deathstroke vs batman cinematic, as well as a 1 minute section pertaining to the Anarky side mission. I honestly could have disputed this further than I did, but I was nervous to risk the video as well as a potential strike, so I went ahead and made the trim. Sorry for the inconvenience.

One cool detail: when Bane states that Joker has “one minute” to talk with Batman, he actually returns about a minute later in real time.

Gonna say, looking back Origins has the most tight story where antagonists don't over shadow each other like it was in City and Knight. Also, Bane is so good in this and shows that Paul Dini should never write Bane.

That Batman vs. Deathstroke cinematic didn't need to go as hard as it did. That was some movie-level action right there. Actually, the plot of this game would make for a good Batman film, with the caped crusader having to face multiple villains all out for his head.

One of my favorite little details in this game has to do with Killer Crocs design. Younger crocodiles in real life tend to have a more white belly that gets darker and greener as they age. Killer Croc in this prequel has that white chest/belly of a younger crocodile. 💙

Fun fact: in the Batcave you can find a letter from an "Andrea Beaumont" who was Bruce's love interest in the Batman animated movie "The Mask of the Phantasm"

I always found the "Loose Lips" nickname funny and kind of ironic, because compared to Batman's other interrogations in the Arkham games, Loose Lips easily puts up the most resistance, and finally talks maybe once in the GCPD.

I always loved the Origins batsuit, it looks thick, layered, brutal.

I love how the Joker’s first line about “If only you [Batman] were all I wanted. You’re just a teeny distraction!” How wrong he was. He had no idea he had just met his other half. Makes me think about two lines—one from Heath Ledger, “I think you and I are destined to do this forever”, and one from the Batman who laughs where Joker says to Bruce, “I want neither of us to win. Ever.”

The "I won't kill you, but I don't have to save you" is a creation of that movie. Most interpretations of Batman outside the films for awhile now believes inaction and being directly involved with the killing to be the same thing. In Arkham Knight he does a similar thing, letting Ra's die is phrased as "taking a life" when he talks through it with Alfred.<br>As to why that's the case I'm not sure.

This game above all the other Arkham titles holds a special place in my heart.<br>This was the game that made me finally “get” what the Arkham series was about. Beyond being a celebration of the Batman mythos, the Arkham series is essentially a 4 game character study on the relationship between Batman and The Joker, and this is the game that made me realize that.

That whole scene, from when Bane rips Batman out of the elevator, to Joker blowing up the buildings, is just fantastic.
