@@Sam_Gunn Same thoughts. Practically guaranteed given the big name attached to the character and a "big twist" involved in the plot. Rat King being a new character just feels like set up for this kind of reveal. A city enveloped in darkness and chaos with Scarecrow being present just feels like the perfect opportunity for him to try and run experiments under that persona to see how a city driven mad into chaos spreads a sense of fear throughout the city. The Rat King moniker could be an allusion to being the top cheese overseeing fleeing fearful citizens that are metaphorically representing rats jumping ship from a sinking city.

God damn, I love the idea of making a game out of Batman going undercover at Blackgate. Really can’t wait to see how the rest of this plays out. It’s a small thing, but I like how they adjusted Boles’ backstory to make him a guard at Blackgate before Arkham reopened. The Asylum character bios said he was an Arkham security guard for 8 years, but Origins is set only 7.5 years before Asylum and it’s still months after that game before they actually get Arkham up and running. This is a neat little retcon to help smooth that over; just assume his first year or so was spent at Blackgate. Also love (what I assume is) the Year One reference with the “skiing injuries” excuse.

That line about "wanting to understand the criminals he fights" line reminds me of an idea shown in Batman Begins. To understand why people resort to crime in the first place.

I'm not trying to nitpick but did you mean Shadow takes place 7.5 years before Asylum? Because Origins takes place more so straight up 8 years before the latter according to official information. But yeah, it'd still be a shift from 8 to 7 years.

[@themadtitan7603]

@@themadtitan7603 Origins is 7.5 before Asylum: Origins is set on Christmas Eve of year two (given in-game). Knight is set 10 years after Origins, on Halloween, making it year twelve (given in-game). Knight is set 9 months after the cremation of Joker (stated in-game), placing City in late December of year eleven or early January of year twelve. City is set 18 months after Asylum (stated multiple times in game), thus setting Asylum in the summer of year ten. The difference between Christmas Eve of year two and summer of year ten would be seven and a half years.

Frankly, I just wasn't sure if you consider Asylum to be set in Summer like some don't (saying it takes place in Fall) so I wanted to know where you stand on its timeline there that led you to 7.5. Or if perhaps you misspoke & meant Shadow as it takes place six months later. Thanks for clarifying & I'm with you on the 7.5 estimate roughly (just dependent for me on if AA takes place in July or August) & again, so with the one year less than what Asylum states his servicing time to be.

@@Slo.c5 I certainly hope so. This game looks great so far to me (although I'm only watching the story playthrough) & I'm hoping it leads to more traditional, story-driven Arkham entries if successful, ideally flat screen Origins sequels.

1:07:10 such a cool Easter egg, giving a shout out to all these legendary Batman writers. Respect to Neal Adam’s and Dennis O’Neill for basically reinventing the franchise for years to come.

[@SilentSnake1998]

Also love how the game acknowledges that since this is earlier in Bruce’s career, the pain of losing his parents is a lot more fresh in his mind, with Alfred having to make sure he’s alright when visiting the monarch theatre at 1:20:02 Reminds me of that Year One panel where Bruce had an inner monologue about how the ache was still fresh, even after 12 or so years.

[@jlev1028]

Who's Cameron and Carver?

[@SilentSnake1998]

@@jlev1028 Could be talking about either Donald Clough Cameron or Cameron Stewart, the ladder being more likely since the Easter egg is located in the same apartment where you meet Barbra, with Cameron Stewart having wrote issues of Batgirl comics in the past. As for carver, I’m not sure who that’s referring to, but It could be referencing Alton Carver aka Talon. Don’t take my word for it tho, cause I’m not good with names.

I love how much Matt Reeves' The Batman flim inspired how Arkham's batman evolved his suit after Origins. Batman media always influences other batman media. Nolans Batman Begins is why we have Batman Arkham Asylum to begin with.

[@WorkGalaxy47]

Actually I think the reason we have that game is because of A Serious House on a Serious Earth, which is basically a Batman horror story where he goes around Arkham Asylum dealing with the villains and his own mental health. It also has the writings of Amadeus Arkham too.

Same. I thought it sounded good based on Q&As but it's also engaging in ways I wasn't expecting. Which is good because I don't have the opportunity to play this game so it makes just watching the playthroughs more engaging.
