[@themadtitan7603]

I noticed that too. At first I wondered if the game being advertised on the newspaper had to do with some scheme Riddler was up to but I guess it indicates he has a similar origin here to that of BTAS. Edit: Maybe not, since Origins established him as as being employed at the GCPD's Cyber Crime Division.

[@Relichunters01]

​@@themadtitan7603 this game follows from Arkham origins. Riddler was in that game, he was a forensic analyst working for the GCPD at the time. His plan involves hiding data packs with blackmail material all across Gotham so that his own servers couldn't be hacked. He was going to release all the data on Christmas day and expose the corruption in Gotham's government and law enforcement, driving the city into chaos

[@themadtitan7603]

​@@Relichunters01 You're right. I don't know why for some reason I thought him being a game designer could've somehow fit in his GCPD Cyber Crime history established in Origins but likely not & it's just a reference BTAS.

That’s actually and insane deep cut

[@mediarare2386]

At this point Harleen has been "treating" Joker for a few months now and it's already difficult to say where Harleen Quinzel ends and Harley Quinn begins. I'm sure she wasn't an angel before but her downfall is still a little tragic.

[@themadtitan7603]

The audio tapes from Origins suggest as much and I do feel a bit contradict her characterization here as someone who's only done some questionable things when forced to, but yeah, she was grey even before Harley Quinn.

[@MyJanvic]

Yeah, before becoming the agent of Chaos, Dr. Harleen Quinzel isn't really a good person. She isn't bad. She makes questionable choices when pressured by corrupt scumbags, but she tries her best to improve the health system in Gotham City. So, in her lowest point, the Joker came in and she became Harley Quinn, his first girlfriend.

Of course Firefly would take a liking to someone named "Matches".

[@RC_vstheworld]

Troy Baker sounds amazing back as Joker. The voice does sound a tiny bit different than it did in Origins but i think it's just that he got better at voicing the character. Hope we can get more Arkham content with these two as Batman and Joker in the future

[@themadtitan7603]

Yeah, I thought his voice sounded a bit different as well. The only issue I have with his portrayal is that I think he leans too much on sounding British when Mark Hamill Joker's accent is more Transatlantic.

"A fitting end for his kind" is what Batman said in his very first comic after killing a mobster. The no-kill rule came a long time after his debut

Joker said he has been locked up since BAOB, it stands to reason that Joker should NOT be the last boss you fight before you deal with Catwoman in canon. And since Black Mask is in a cell not far away, his ending isn't canon, either. Guess that leaves Penquin as the canon ending for Batman Arkham Origins Blackgate.

The way Bronze Tiger was able to so quickly pick up "Matches'" training from Kirigi is so awesome. That blew my mind when I heard him say that.

Now if only he'd put the pieces together... two seemingly completely different people from Gotham who both trained under Kirigi...

[@daph0307]

Various people train under Kirigi. Is not as evident as you think.

[@Shocktimus989]

To be fair, we only know three people by name who trained under him in the Arkhamverse. And since Matches keeps up the perception of east end scum wanting to get in with Falcone, Turner could probably put two and two together if he saw through that facade. After all, how would some lowlife thug survive the training, but keep to their life as a D-list criminal?

@@themadtitan7603 that is just how jokers is for most incarnations. He never wants anyone to know who Batman is, not even himself.

Man, this is such a treat! This could be the best Arkham story yet! It's certainly up there! This just proves there's a lot more room for stories in the Arkham timeline, and I'm very intrigued by Batman's rough-around-the-edges era! Especially with how masterfully these villains' origin stories are being weaved into the narrative--including some long-time, fan-requested appearances! The gameplay also looks excellent! Not to mention that it gave us our first Asylum-style game since... Asylum! (I only half-count Black Gate.) Not to mention, how *long this game is! We're 9 hours in, and we still have more to go! Even VR games that I was interested in before, like Horizon: Call of the Mountain, were only a few hours long, with a relatively bare gameplay loop. And the movement and combat certainly weren't nearly this varied, fluid, and engaging to watch! If *this* is what we can expect as the standard for VR in the future, then I'm *finally* interested in picking a headset up for myself! ...When I can afford it. Maybe someday...

Unless he knows that too and keeps it to himself. 2:42: Of course he'll be uncooperative, but at least he ain't impersonating someone this time. 2:54: *Blow* up the city. 3:05: He fulfilled that, surely enough, even after the day the Joker died. 3:20: Reality bites. 4:58: So that's how the coin idea came. (In an aside, would be curious on how modders will check out these flashback scenes outside the second-person view.) 6:25 and 6:46: Useful for speedrunning and non-Joker fans. 7:19: Nothing much to say. 8:03: Reality returneth. 8:22: Never further the Joker's whims. 8:48: Once more, with reality. 9:00: Understood the shoelaces bit. 9:44: Again, reality begs for the Joker to be uncooperative.

Anyways, is there an actual Joker character model inside? 19:16: Got the name wrong there? 19:37: Oh, Firebu-sorry, Firefly. 20:00: Heh. 20:06: Don't further the vices. 20:31: Difficult yet awesome boss battle back there. 20:52: So, he's not into dames unlike his DCAU counterpart? Brutal, Lynns, brutal. 22:57: He too didn't escape Blackgate? That leaves us with only the Penguin, and even then, the lore in this game states that he got out because of testifying against CarmineFalcone. So much for Origins: Blackgate's endings. 22:52: Oh, Batman swore. 23:13: Ah, made him admit. Here's to hoping it wasn't a body double of his for that future Red Hood mission in Arkham Knight. Thought Falcone's plan was to create Two-Face. 25:24: Moldoff? As in the Silver Age Batwoman? 25:52: Is the game Riddle of the Minotaur, from the Riddler? Surprised Bolton's still on the cams, despite his beatdown the day before the news report. 26:37: Hmm, in-universe, it's six years early? 26:56: Knew it. Oh, it's a VR game made by one Ulysses Edwards, now. 27:42: Not sure about Edward Lawton, but Warren White is mob boss Great White Shark. 29:16: Until Harvey's gourd shall snap. 29:33: Solitary has done a number on Malone. 30:22: Sounding like some people in and out of the Arkhamverse. 30:38: At least solitary hasn't brought Malone out of touch with some reality. 31:52: Last night? 35:35: No. He's compromising himself by being here. Hold up, is Yamashiro... oh, snap. 40:36: Jack Ryder and Vic Sage stuff? 40:50: It sure is a long July in this game. 41:24: Right, right. 41:54: Now that sounds better in reality. The choices at 42:35-43:48: Good talk, right through the mark. 43:50: Yes, you are. Nothing to buy now? 44:19: Or a Batman. 47:44: Weaned him away from Bane, I see. 48:27, 49:27, and 50:35: Nice guy there. Neat thing about where Bird got his name though. 48:40, 49:48, and 51:09: Mean guy there. Such is Batman's reality. 51:55: The eyepatch should be a ruse. 53:54 and 55:46: Honestly, clever "brick joke" there. 54:50: Poison or poison, take the pick. 57:21: Hmm-mmm. Oh, he knows about the Initiation DLC setting and people. 57:45: Staying in cruel character, on reality. Crane also had a hold on TYGER? Kinda explains his role with the later Arkham Knight's Militia. 58:41: Tiger, you're not supposed to talk about the Squad. 58:54: He's already hurt lots, even before becoming the Scarecrow. 59:16: But he'll spiritually and symbolically break the Bat before that happens. Hence, Knightfall. 59:44: Interesting detail, the noose coming from the later renamed Scarface. Wait, the other CO isn't named Woody. 1:00:41: Many thanks for the free poster! Such a chill guy. 1:01:47: This is gonna be a nightmarish night. The developing Bat-Family sure were worried on the long wait. Nuts, that Crane. 1:07:00: Oh, Catwoman, when in Rome... hmm, this moment's sure timely with The Penguin miniseries in mind. 1:08:03: A is A? 1:09:19: The Rattenköning assumption may bear fruit. 1:10:50: Ancient Rune 4 found. Could it be that those plants will be connected with Poison Ivy? 1:12:48: Rat Radio No. 32. Numerically tricky. 1:13:42: They got jammers now. Yes, doctors, infight. 1:15:35: Level Up! Melee Armor 3 active! 1:16:22: Rat Radio No. 33. 1:16:44: Rat King Idol No. 28. 1:17:23: Rat Radio No. 34. Very mappy. 1:19:27: How should anyone know? Origins: Blackagate's eponymous location looked more like Arkham Asylum anachronistically at places. 1:22:26: Level Up! Ballistic Armor 4 out of standby! 1:23:04: Relevant in the main Arkham trilogy set years after the Blackgate trilogy. 1:23:23: Rat Radio No. 35. Such is Detective Vision. 1:24:20: ... Why though? It does look familiar to an Arkhamverse veteran, and yet it doesn't. 1:24:57: A long one, but here's the Patient Tape about... no, not Dr. Crane and Bronze Tiger... Dr. Quinzel and Harvey Dent. 1:29:53: Rat King Idol No. 29. 1:30:37: And then she won't anymore. Tragic pity, and then more sinful things abound. She sure loves hyenas before becoming Harley Quinn. 1:31:56: Count Vertigo, a Green Arrow villain at most. 1:31:34: The Toyman, basically a Superman villain. Not to be confused with KtJL's younger, more heroic fanboy take. 1:32:37: Ah, trusty thing especially in Origins: Blackgate. You know, why didn't the Batman just go to the Lookout Tower beforehand? 1:33:25: Since when's Crane into plans? 1:35:06: Level Up! Melee Armor 4 patched up! That's all the protection Batman shall need, not that he even gets hit almost anytime. 1:36:13: Rat Radio No. 36. 1:36:44: Rat King Idol No. 30. 1:37:04: Oh. Halfway called it early on. 1:39:07: Level Up! Readying Special Combo Batclaw! That's all the Combat prowess parameters. 1:39:53: Rat King Idol No. 31. 1:40:35: Sighing as well. 1:41:26: She and/or her supervisor did the right call. However, Arkham Origins happened, all the way to Knight. 1:43:42: Rat King Idol No. 32. 1:45:41: Level Up! Batclaw Disarm, go! And that seems to be the final upgrade. Been fun, all that fast progression. 1:46:04, 1:46:15, and 1:47:05: She's not supposed to fall in love with *him.* 1:46:27: Someday, in the future, Harley Quinn should be forced to say such regrettable words to a higher power. 1:46:37: If only she were voiced by Hynden Walch. 1:47:30: Patient Tape about Dr. Quinzel and the Clown Prince of Crime. Seems to be an interquel to those Arkham Asylum tapes. 1:51:10: Same goes to her future self. The events of Asylum, City+ Harley Quinn's Revenge, Knight+that Arkham Episode featuring her, and maybe KtJL sure would flash on a player's/viewer's mind during the walk with Dr. Quinzel. Music ain't helping too. 1:54:20: Rat King Idol No. 33. 1:57:43: Why not an oversized hammer like in the cartoons? 1:59:01: Maybe? More like an affirmative. 2:00:48: Almost just like that scene in Batman: The Animated Series' "Two-Face: Part 1". Deserved it, though, that goon. Feels wrong, giving Wesker Woody. 2:04:23: That song is The Rat Pack's "Me And My Shadow". 2:05:26: We all know how this goes with experience in Asylum and Knight in mind. Can't be helped, but at least this can be justified because it is Batman's first experience. 2:05:56: A tea stalk is up, so of course. It's always Crime Alley. 2:06:54: Hello. Joe Chill, was it? 2:07:11: Arkham Origins. Batman vs. Joker on Blackgate chapel. *That's the Bat-Man vision the Joker saw.* Bruce Wayne was just a child. How COULD he, really? 2:09:13: How nostalgic, series chronology aside. Guilt tripping the audience and the Batman at this point, as should be expected yet also welcomed. 2:11:44: Heh, hallucinatory does. Bring it. A giant, Fear Toxin-imagined, evil Batman. Didn't KtJL also do that? 2:16:18: How dare it say that, and yet be more awesome and respectful than KtJL's own giant Batman?!? 2:22:13: Amygdala. Look him up. 2:22:22: So awesome. 2:22:28: Rat King Idol No. 34. 2:22:44: Patient Tape about the Scarecrow and the Ventriloquist. Literal-mindedness can make for some gallows humor. 2:24:43: Rat Bombs 5 and 6. 2:25:27: Rat Bomb 7. 2:26:04: That's some slam. 2:26:38: Rat King Idol No. 35. 2:27:13: Rat Bomb 8. 2:27:39: Rat Bombs 9 and 10. 2:27:54: Rat King Idol No. 36. 2:28:04: Rat Bomb 11. 2:28:26: Rat King Idol No. 37. 2:28:53: Rat Radio No. 37. 2:30:40: Rat King Idol No. 38. 1:31:16: Here's to Memory No. 10. 2:31:57: Yeah, same. Ah, there's Rat Bomb 12. 2:32:22: Rat Bomb 13. Strange how the TYGERs aren't reacting. 2:33:33: Rat King Idol No. 39. 2:33:47: Rat Bombs 14 and 15. mission accomplished. 1:36:39: Whoops. 2:37:41: Rat King Idol No. 40. Another mission accomplished. 2:04:04: Describing dogs like that isn't exactly untrue. 2:41:32: Rat Radio No. 38. 2:42:13: Rat Radio No. 39. 2:42:32: Ancient Rune 9 found. Wish Azrael and his Order didn't fail on their hype. 2:47:12: Patient Tape about Leslie and Joe. *Wrong. Bruce Wayne.* 2:49:13: Rat Radio No. 40. Silence is golden. 2:49:32: Patient Tape about the Scarecrow and Lock-Up. Also, all Maps scanned. 2:56:47: The boys are becoming men.

The more and more Troy plays The Joker the closer it sound to Hamill’s original Animated series voice

[@TheMcK777]

This is some Splinter Cell Double Agent shit and I absolutely love it

[@RubixCubed3]

The only thing Crane has to fear is fear itself.

[@TreWilder]

Of course. Of fucking course HE WOULD be a "Honk-Mimimimimi" I'm LIVID right now.

[@skyn3945]

I kinda wish this game was on a console.

[@MinecraftJimmy7951]

The backstory timeline at 1:25:14 makes me confused. Arkham Origins said Cyrus Pinkney was in his 40s and faked his death in the 1850s, and Arkham City’s stories said that Arkham asylum was active in the late 1800s when Wonder City was functioning. Now Arkham Shadow is saying the asylum and these characters are in the 1900s and the asylum was made then?

[@b.u.l.1734]

They screwed up the dates on all of the Pinkney/Arkham related stuff, which is weird considering who well the rest of the game fits in the Arkhamverse. I hope BAV or other Arkham KZbinrs with access to Camouflaj devs can tell them about those mistakes so they can fix them with a patch or something.

[@themadtitan7603]

I was wondering about that but I wasn't sure if I actually caught a mistake. It seems like they pushed the timeline forward to early 20th Century, closer to the comics.

[@themadtitan7603]

​@@b.u.l.1734 I'm not sure if they'd patch that because a lot of it would require re-recording voice lines.

[@chrisbrutusyoung1722]

Yesssirrr been waiting for a part 4

[@surfinturf4620]

1:17:11 😱 You actually missed!

[@MB-hy7nb]

it still shocks me that joker recognized them immediately😮

[@amkibb]

It is fascinating how similar this is to the hallucinatory Batman fight in Suicide Squad...while being infinitely better.

[@themadtitan7603]

I wonder if the maze in Arkham Ward is meant to be the cut garden maze from Asylum that was going to feature Mad Hatter's tea party. Also 1:07:09 is & "When In Rome" reference which may make might make Arkham Shadow the Arkhamverse's equivalent of Long Halloween/Dark Victory since When In Rome took place midway through the latter.
