My favourite bit of lore from the game was that Riddler escaped Arkham because he helped the guards cheat on their taxes.

[@deepvoicedude4749]

Most realistic moment in the Arkham series.

[@lebronyoung2549]

Id turn a blind eye too

[@altalia07]

🤣

[@outrider8569]

​@@lebronyoung2549then you start glowing green

[@Carlisle-mn3fv]

Arkham canonically closed down after the events of the first game

[@The_Phantasm]

4:11 James Gordon Jr. was mentioned in the novelization for Arkham Knight but that book is famously not canon at all because it is significant differences from the main story. It even has Hugo Strange just casually being alive despite the fact that he died in Arkham City.

[@adanuvalle3776]

This game is also significantly not canon due to its lack of consistency

[@Cheeseburger-f9y]

There is a Arkham novel ?

[@jsphgddrd]

@@Cheeseburger-f9y My thoughts exactly, I knew there were comic series that acted as prequels to each game, but I have never heard of Arkham novels.

[@K.I.A-2.0]

Bro thought he was slick calling us a bitch at 10:49

[@Cheeseburger-f9y]

10:48 damn bro, didn’t need to call me a bitch

[@b1ackspid3r43]

My best guess for Starro is that after Batgirl MOF the GCPD searched the park, found Starro & he was moved to StarLabs at some point in Metropolis and attempted a takeover at the same time as Brainiac

[@johnfarmer888]

It's tragic honestly how a lot of the villains in the Arkhamverse a lot of them have been killed

[@BestManGamer]

Damn the more i think about it Killer Moth would've been perfect for SSKTJL if they didn't kill him off screen. 😔

[@brewmaster2912]

Apparently he’s still alive, if you go out of bounds, Waller will blow up your head and tell Flag to find Killer Moth

[@GothamPaladin]

The funny thing is, Killer Moth is shown to be alive in the most recent SSKTKL prequel comic which is an inconsistency. I’ll have a video about that soon enough lol

[@Rhyciz]

@@GothamPaladin You could take it as an inconsistency, or you could use it as evidence that this isn’t canon to the Arkhamverse. Kind of a “what if?” of sorts, but not actually part of the first four games’ timeline.

[@464588]

or someone else took up the mantle of killer moth

[@blistow3519]

@@evilzdeaditeexactly some thug said the red hood got killer moth but it’s almost basically a rumour maybe killer moth retired/ turned himself in out of fear of the red hood and Gotham criminals just assume Jason got him (as obvious he’s going round Gotham killing criminals so it adds up)

[@king_n_d_north285]

The Selina Kyle postcards and a lot of the bank vault props are actually all assets from Wayne manor in the Arkham VR game which takes place right before Arkham Knight.

[@kyleyuen245]

Paladin's voice is his batman and the subtitles are his inner unhinged joker

[@KOTSOSMC2002]

Amazing video as usual!!

[@baronmarrow076]

15:15 My guess for when John became Green Lantern is that it was at least around the time that SSKTJL Deadshot resurfaced. I mean, I don't think the game mentions him being an architect at any point, but him just being a bystander during the Deadshot shootout, getting the Green Lantern powers, and then stopping it would at least explain why SSKTJL Deadshot hates him so much. This random bystander ruined Floyd's life by intervening in a situation he had no business being a part of. Then again, that's just my opinion. Keep up the good work, dude!

[@t0m0ka85]

7:53 tf was that Family Guy cutaway?! That caught me off guard 😂

[@Master_Bricks]

There was no family guy cutaway

[@dray1195]

@@Master_Bricksyou’re right, family guy usually has setups to their joke. This dude just randomly put a clip of him and his friends mid video and couldn’t think of a decent joke for putting it there lmao

[@dudewithachannel1163]

I'm honestly kinda glad she didn't show up. Knowing this games handling of iconic characters they would have found a way to botch Selina too

[@toycarsushiwriter3573]

Thank God For Small Miracles.

[@nkohler5601]

Amanda Waller say that the Squad was simply the first man who survived getting into the city. Likely meaning that Polki-dot man and Kite-man were earlier attempts by her to get into the city.

[@caolanmcflynn2412]

Head canon that Bruce and selina started a relationship and have Helen wayne

[@Revali69420]

Kite Mans 😊back story and catch phrase are the reason I love the Tom king Batman run

[@DavidLeexhaj]

Its said on the Arkham Wiki that Earth 2 Lex’s Universe Hal Jordan was the Green Lantern in the League and Wally West is The Flash instead of Barry

[@HigorNicoli-v6x]

Yep, in the mission we meet lex 2, the statues in the hall of justice and posters around the area show these differences

[@GothamPaladin]

I meant for Earth 1 in this game! I shoulda made that clear haha

[@DrDodo117]

I think that Barry was just retconned to live in keystone in this universe

[@Spidey-eq1eh]

15:08 Wonder Woman was referenced in Arkham Knight as a Wayne logo.

[@GothamPaladin]

True, but as far as direct connections go that confirm her existence, there is none. I should’ve made that clearer in the video in hindsight

[@douglassawyer5879]

​@@GothamPaladinThere was mention of her in Arkham City. Random street thug dialogue - "I heard someone saw Wonder Woman in Bludhaven". Something along that line.

[@knightghost1782]

James Gordon's son looks like Jeffery dahmer

[@BatFlash52]

I think Flash has either been active in the shortest amount of time or he’s the youngest member of the League since he’s shown to be the most impulsive when under Brainiac’s control, Lantern calls him rookie and everyone not being impressed when the squad kills him (though the last point is probably just the lazy writing). Side note loved Flash and Lantern’s dynamic in the game.

[@cameronmcewen7192]

There’s only dynamic between Barry and Hal, never between Barry and John.

[@Im_Negan_]

Hiding because she dont want them hands😂😂😂

[@damired]

Wake up GothamPaladin, babe just posted.

[@Bobman_Ting]

I enjoy watching these lore details from the arkhamverse, there are so many details and Easter eggs that I missed, great job on creating this video, I'm looking forward to more videos on the way

[@The-knight-from-arkham]

As soo as i heard Riddler's voice, i i hurled my force across my room. That guy made me restart his final race track 99 times...

[@ArcuesRiderXD_XD]

The postcards are actually from the Batman Vr game which I think takes place before knight so it’s more than likely old postcards that he kept for the memories

[@QuinceyChung]

I thought Killer Moth was alive. If you die in SSKTJL from going out of bounds doesn't Amanda Waller call you out and say something like "that's what you get for going out of bounds, Colonel Flag, find me Killer Moth" ?

[@unknogne]

I saw a video from the RedHood DLC from arkham knight, at the final fight with black mask, as theyre all fighting, one of the black mask men says “He’s the guy who killed killer moth” and unfortunately this game is supposedly connected to the arkham verse

[@464588]

another person could have taken up the mantle since more than one person has been killer moth in the comics

[@waylonjones7260]

I do know Catwoman is getting a infamy set in season 3

[@cameronmcewen7192]

How do you know?

[@clipsdelosmajes]

[@K.I.A-2.0]

16:26 ah, yes my favorite arkham game: Batman Arkham Oranges

[@jameshanson2067]

Since they killed Batman maybe we need a catwoman game

[@michaelcousins435]

Wouldn't it be crazy if the mind controlled league actually were clones🤔

[@Shadowed2]

[@quixotic_077]

​@@quixotic_077catwomans injustice 2 design is undefeated

[@thedoctimbo188]

My favorite lore detail is deciding that none of this is canon and the game simply doesn’t exist

[@dero_oan]

If we put the New 52 canon into account, Keystone could still be Barry since Central and Keystone are only separated by a river and Barry would often cross between the cities in that era

[@ChristianMartinez-kg7yr]

One thing I think is worth noting is that in this game, The Flash is kind of cocky and arrogant so, he may be a little younger than Bruce. Also, during a Lois Lane broadcast, after Barry “dies”, she says something about a “Grodd Incident”, obviously referring to Gorilla Grodd. She probably wouldn’t bring that up if he wasn’t a “veteran” hero. That’s just what I think.

[@464588]

gorilla grodd was also supposed to appear in the canceled sequel to arkham knight

[@uncleshagworthy]

She got the Tim Drake treatment

[@noir-214]

Apparently, the reason for Gordon's son to turn evil in the comics was because of the events of Batman: Year one as he was kidnapped by criminals, thrown off a bridge and Bruce saved him and that could have messed with him when he got older

[@The_succ_of_87]

With Gordon's son being shown in an Easter egg in Arkham Shadow I can't help but wonder how long he has been on the loose

[@invaderjay224]

I would love to see a catwoman dlc although she probably cant become a playable character bc of the gun centered gameplay

[@insertcodename1409]

Its funny that they used Scribblenauts Unmasked to reenact those fights

[@comicfan1324]

I highly doubt Barry has been around longer than Bruce has been Batman. He comes across as the youngest person on the Justice League.

[@dwightnorton3398]

Great job

[@nevillebatomene]

12:08 isn't that the city known as Cape Town in South Africa, you think Selina could be There?

[@maaGere]

Regarding Green Latern, I know that in origins there’s a billboard or something the name drops Ferris Aircrafts.Thats it though, nothing else.

[@_MANDOWN_]

So Bruce and Selina are together?? Doesn’t matter since the dude is dead now.🫤

[@RedCommunistDragon]

Unless that “theory” about the Justice League being clones is true. Doubt it though.

[@fiel81]

That would be a really dumb twist​@@RedCommunistDragon

[@RedCommunistDragon]

@@fiel81 I agree. Cop out all over it.

[@Dachin55555]

@@RedCommunistDragonKevin is no longer with us so i doubt they would want to bring Batman back unless it’s a different voice actor which would be dum

[@RedCommunistDragon]

@@Dachin55555 I’m not 100% sure if this is true so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I remember hearing news where Keven Conroy did indeed voice Batman in later projects before he passed away. Again not entirely sure but it’s definitely possible.

[@br.writerdiary2905]

You can actually find a wanted poster of Jim Gordon's son in Batman Arkham Knight at the police station

[@UserName70-ee4fx]

If there is a Batman Beyond game, I think Blight should be the main villain. The experiments of WaynePowers start creating metahumans like Big Time, characters that are just hired like Inque show up, and maybe a side story about Cuvier and splicing

[@MobiusTrigger7]

i found a Johnny carisma poster on a biulding, its a reused pic but with Updated cities, so he was on tour one big thing, metropolis is in a desert with palm trees and cactuses and lots of desert fauna and takes a very Nevada look, which is new and cool. so gotham and metropolis arnt close to eachother, palmtrees and cactuses cant grow in the north east where Gotham is and gotham gets blizzards. so they are on diffrent sides of the nation +

[@Alphagames389]

I think it was like 10 to 11 years for the matter of family, DLC and suicide squad gap

[@robin_dcuo4098]

I think we can see Hal Jordan and Wally West in a posters around Metropolis

[@eldeadkilljohnkennedy3946]

James Gordon son is dead in this universe. Apparently someone on the Internet. Remember this is a rumour he was killed during the event brainiac invasion, metropolis, even the clone Batman killed him.

[@mrowley7300]

It's a shame that Rocksteady didn't give the other heroes their solo games

[@comicfan1324]

There’s actually some text mentioning Hal Jordan on the Bat Computer. The text is upside down for some reason, and people of speculated that this may have just been some thing in the game before they decided on a green lantern. But you could totally use this as evidence to suggest how Jordan is a green lantern in this universe and just isn’t a direct member of the league. There’s also some concept art of Hal Jordan in the daily planet. Arkham videos made A video showcasing these Easter eggs

[@DukeChuggs]

Didnt gordon say that Barbara was all he had in atkham knight?

[@kxrraidon]

You absolute doofus you read that on the screen at 5:34 don’t try and act like your remeber a single line from a game that came out 8 years ago

[@therustybucket221]

Yep. “She’s all I’ve got, Batman!” Punches him.

[@ClockWithoutNumbers]

i like the scribblenauts-esque art style

[@theorangeelimination823]

With Barry and John, if you go to earth 2, the JL posters have Wally and Hall instead of John and Barry

[@tyx8898]

I believe that version of Flash from Keystone goes by Wallace West now because of the other Wally West

[@weenusschmartington]

Bro this makes me wish that babs and Tim took Starro under their wing and they had an Arkham Garro

[@vegasimp]

mabey barry retired for a little bit then joined the league

[@comicfan1324]

You know, I have to question when the current Arkham timeline takes place in terms of years. We don’t get many solid dates but we can assume by relatively modern day technology present in the Arkham trilogy that it would be at the time present day. But on the other hand you look at the poster for the amusement park in KTJL and it looks like it’s priced for sometime during the 1900s

[@INFAMOUS67]

Another lore details video 🫡

[@Mr.Wilson_exist]

I don’t think Batgirl found Starro that’s why the room is hidden. Which could be the reason why he’s loose now

[@65ivetterios]

these captions are insane...

[@rejvexplx449]

where are the other members of the justice league? where is Martian, Shazam, Cyborg, Green Arrow, Dr. Fate, Hawkman and Hawkgirl?

[@rogue9658]

James Gordon Jr is in the comic “The Black Mirror” it follows Dick as Batman solving a series of murders. It is such a great story and James Gordan Jr is very creepy as a villain. I highly recommend!

[@nova_beam]

Humans with super human abilities are usually called meta humans in the DC universe. So Polkadot man and any other powered persons would be a meta humans.

[@LibertyBridgeProductions]

James Gordon Jr is touched on heavily as the main villain of the final story in the original detective comics series. Batman: Black Mirror which is one of the best ever Batman stories and actually has Dick Grayson as Batman.

[@Zevimi]

I was wondering where reverse flash was during all this but then I remembered. The reason reverse flash never outright kills flash is because is flash dies Thawne never gets his powers. And now that flash is dead, reverse flash can’t exist. (From what I remember)

[@WoofyandWhiskers-zh9si]

[@Arkhambatpro564]

So those post cards Selina sent bruce were actually taken from Arkham vr and so is the globe that is located next to them which has a bunch of newspaper clippings of robberies in the same places the post cards were sent from! Coincidence, i think not! So this either means two things, either these are recent and catwoman is alive and still active, or because they appear in Arkham vr, which is a dream that canonically predates Arkham knight, these are old robberies that bruce saw in his dream because they were real and he later simply had them moved to the vault in this game, which also means Catwoman's current status is unknown!
