Just a different take i guess…

[@veedee5]

I reject it as even existing

[@darlingxluxii7977]

True

[@gun_violence_gaming]

Why are the asylum subtitles so tiny 💀

[@Inkiplier]

Who doesn't?

[@ivanhunter6492]

I reject SSKTJL as canon

[@Jodykang]

Youre wrong and not liking the game wont change that. but whatever helps you cope. The hates hyperbolic and baseless given the fact that its been leaked and hinted that as the seasons progress, all the heros get resurrected. So him dying didnt matter at all and robins death was probably a fake out since we never see a body. We just see king shark assume

[@Ryan-cs3uc]

@KeithMaxwell-rq3yiit’s easy to imagine that as a elseworld story that shares a similar story to arkham. It doesn’t even fit in properly with the arkham world so it’s not hard to treat it as not being canon

[@UnluckyCantaloupe4]

@Jodykang Season 1 is out and there has not been a single fucking hint at this clone fakeout nonsense

[@TariqTheGuy]

Even if Batman isn’t dead and turns out to be clone I hate how Batman just abandoned the knightfall protocol and just became Tony stark

[@Ten-Heisenberg99]

It’s not canon as far as the Arkham games go; Origins, Asylum, City, and knight should be viewed independently. (Just like the way Cynic organised this video)

[@Adam_X78]

If you like the Arkham games, SSKTJL isn’t canon.

[@JasonL77]

Personally, I like the Justice League game. As far as if it’s canon or not, I try not to overthink it because for me, that would take away from the game. I just had fun with it.

[@tiltingrobin]

Batman is a primal force of nature even with all of his intellect. Gotham needs Batman because we the viewers want a reason to see the bad guys get there asses kicked. The real world isn't usually black and white but we still love Batman because we want the world to be a better place. Great take on my favorite hero.

[@yusavelli0448]

Origins and knight is how I like my Batman 🔥

[@seanmichaelkurtz]

​@@yusavelli0448 my favorite Batman is pretty much anyone being played by Kevin:)

[@darlingxluxii7977]

It’s a shame how they ruined Batman in SSKTJL. ❤

[@isaacgriffee3095]

this channel legit is me because of rdr2 and arkham knight

[@gun_violence_gaming]

He just like me fr 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@Adam_X78]

He’s the goat

[@real_Hamilton]

The fact that he chooses NOT to kill his enemies is his biggest problem. Every super villain that he has ever put behind bars has broken out. And as a result more innocent people die because of it. I find that to be very frustrating. His life and everyone else's life in Gotham would be a whole lot easier if he would just simply get rid of these guys. Problem solved

[@channel45853]

no, him killing the villains makes him just as bad as them, there would be no difference between Batman and his rouge galley because Batman would just be another guy in a costume murdering people and striking fear into the people of Gotham the batman murdering people would be a big problem

[@giovanniandangelmendez8043]

it is a balancing issue if he goes too far killing every person just for doing the smallest crime that is him going too far, but if he restrains himself too much, he is just encouraging people to go more and more extreme like the Joker and become more corrupt and careless about the casualties

[@smallmediumatlarge]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@channel45853but the villains that continue to do exactly that: harm MORE INNOCENT lives. By letting them live Batman is responsible for all those that suffered because of his own delusional self-righteousness. If he truly cared for the lives of the innocent Gothamites he would do what a hero, protecter, and savior would do and save lives by stopping the ones ending them but doesn’t because ego. In short one goth furry role-playing Dexter is better for the city than several serial killers/domestic terrorist, logically speaking, ofc.

[@channel45853]

@@smallmediumatlarge nope, Batman isn't responsible for the villains killing and hurting innocent people, the people who hurt innocent people are responsible. Batman stops them as best he can while not becoming a murderer, which is what makes him a hero. He wouldn't be any different from the villains in his gallery if he murdered the villains.

[@stevenwoods5787]

That’s on the state, it’s the local and state governments fault. Batman’s already breaking the law apprehending these criminals and beating their asses in the streets, not to mention the gear he uses

[@juliojuarez4033]

In the arkham knight game they were already hinting at the batman who laughs

[@CyberController-]

Even though it doesn't exist in the same universe, Gotham Knights is still a better epilogue to the Arkham games than Suicide Squad.

[@abramsullivan7764]

Ras Aul Goul is alive actually his sword is on the ground in the front entrance of Arkham City.

[@UltiNateum]

YAAAAY MORE CYNIC BATMAN!

[@Aldgri]

Now that Batman is “Ghost” where do you think his character goes? Just a force of nature? How do u think he interacts with the JL

[@ButtersCCookie]

This is a pleasant surprise.

[@TheAssassin123]

Batman isn’t Batman the answer. He is the solution

[@rsingh_98]

[@LadyWildcat2007]

Only thing I hated about Arkham Knight was the damned Batmobile missions.

Those drove me more insane than the Joker did. 😂 😭

[@chardy8683]

Harsh to call it “trash” the gameplay and graphics are some of the best I’ve ever seen, smooth gameplay and unreal graphical fidelity definitely make up for the weaker story- also don’t forget the brilliant side content
