Batman: Arkham Origins - Conversations (Criminals, Mobsters, Cops)

This video gathers a lot of ambient conversations between Gotham criminals, mobsters and cops that you can find in Batman: Arkham Origins. The ones featured in the 'Cold, Cold Heart' DLC are also included in this large compilation. A special thanks goes to The Arkham Nation for additional help on the subtitles that were added to each clip - as the game itself does not provide them.

The 151 conversations featured in this video do not belong to any of the game's main or side missions. They're from street thugs you'd just randomly beat up. The game does not provide their subtitles even if you have them on - which means each clip was manually subtitled in order to help everyone better understand what's being said by the thugs. Hope you enjoy the video, and Merry Christmas! 🎅🏻🎄

Thank you so much The Arkham Channel! One of the best Christmas presents I had today! I’ve been waiting for someone to do the conversations in this game and cold cold heart.

[@shikachibi]

Awesome video and subscribed! If its possible in future can you make the conversations video of Artkham City? These coversations are so addictive to listen to!

[@wobblewokgaming655]

1:29 "I saw a cat over there. I wanna pet him." my man got his priorities straight.

[@alexandermase8622]

He....was a hero. Batman just couldn't see It. 😑

[@lobaandrade7172]

A thug I’d avoid hitting

[@scoutdy6547]

Imagine if batman interrogated him for the cat "WHERE IS IT!" "IT OVER THERE I SWEAR!" "IS IT FLUFFY" "VERY SOFT LOOKING" "Let's go find it." "Ur not gonna hurt me?" "Only if ur lying" "I'm... I'm not I swear"

[@overlord6815]

The conversations between NPC is by far one of my favorite features of the games. They talk about some interesting things.

[@jamesvach6698]

I enjoy those conversations as well. It really is interesting what goes through their heads, and some of the conversations are quite funny.

[@overlord6815]

@@jamesvach6698 100%. I also noticed a significant contrast between the conversations of thugs from Origins vs the other games. In the other games(especially Asylum) they often genuinely sound like messed up and terrible people. In Origins they feel much more relatable, basically just poor guys trying to get by just like everyone else. The difference is rather than joining the military as a last resort like many of us do, their last resort is working for Crimelords like the Joker and Black Mask.

[@jamesvach6698]

@@overlord6815 It was mentioned in Origins in the bio of one of Penguin's assistants that times were hard when she joined, presumably an economic downturn which forced her into working for Penguin. Just to clarify, I'm not talking about Tracy, I am talking about the other one Candy, I think her name was. So presumably a number of people turned to crime in order to feed themselves and their families. Crime has a tendency to be the occupation of last resort when nothing legal works. In addition, at the time Batman was thought of to be a myth so the criminals mostly still believed that they were invincible and above punishment from the law. People joining the winning team and all that. In Asylum and in particular other games, it seems as though the people involved are hardened and experienced criminals many of whom have committed terrible crimes. There are still those who seem to express some semblance of being human beings. An example would be in Asylum when Joker put the runoff and excess venom into the water to run into Gotham. One of them expressed concern that his mother lives where the water runoff is going, and he doesn't want her to get hurt. It is a curious contrast.

[@overlord6815]

@@jamesvach6698 100% agree. It's a minor detail but Origins really did a good job of emphasizing how the story was the beginning for EVERYONE, not just Batman and the main villains. Even the grunts of Origins were overall a very different kind of people than in Asylum/City.

[@jamesvach6698]

@@overlord6815 Very true, A number of Batman's supervillains as well as the more common grunts were not as well-established back then. Falcone was still in control while later games had him flee from Gotham and Black Mask was considered a crime kingpin before Joker appeared. He lost his throne and never regained it despite great efforts on his part. Likewise, the criminals were probably not as experienced, but as they gradually gained criminal records, they likely lost a good degree of their sense of morality. Crime like becoming a superhero seems to be something that is easy to get into and hard to get out of. Those who try to flee (guys looking through random crates) and establish their own name (the turkey man) find it hard to do so.

[@chalo2854]

I hope they continue the criminal dialogue it’s so fun flying around as Batman and hearing them talk

[@binary1769]

I like the Criminals who seemingly wanna go legit. It seems like Gotham forced them into the life they're in, and they're just doing it to support themselves or their loved ones. They don't dream of staying in a life where they're actively hurting their city by what they do. It makes me wanna break less of their bones :)

[@zekeram129]

Actively wanting to reform automatically upgrades the criminal to fractures-only status

[@calpone6399]

1:09:10 Something I love about this game that I wish they had in Arkham City was Gang Wars. Like, you could see Thugs from Different Gangs fighting over turf in this game. There is a straight-up Gang War in Arkham City yet you never see any of the Thugs Fighting. You see different Gangs in Different places and see a few that were taken prisoner by one Gang and you hear the thugs talk about it all the time, but you never see any actual fights between 2 Gangs. It would have been so cool to see some fights going on in the city.

[@mcmlii.v]

Too bad the thugs don't come up as, "deceased" when viewed in Detective Mode. Kinda ruins the unique interaction.

[@jakeproven256]

1:34:40 The thug here mentions a building called the "Ellsworth Building" This is a reference to Whitney Ellsworth he was the editor of the Batman comics in the 40's. He was also the one who convinced Bill Finger and Bob Kane to keep the Joker alive after his first appearance in Batman #1 There's also the Sheldon Park that might be a reference to Sheldon Moldoff an artist on Batman during the 50's and 60's.

[@arkhambricksskylar3808]

I love this. Every low life in this city knows that something bad is out there. And it's not on their side. It's fed up with them. Sick of them preying on the weak and the innocent. And is on a personal mission to drag them off the streets and make Gotham a better place. It's not human. It's not scared. And they're terrified. You can't run from it. You can't reason with it. You can't even submit to it. He doesn't discriminate. He doesn't care if you big time or small time, part time or full time. He'll find you and punish you.
