For the sin about the Asylum's sign having a sub-sign to warn of escaped patients, one should note that real jails and prisons have these signs on the nearby roads as well because; yeah, people escape every now and again. Having the sign doesn't actually indicate a high escape ratio, it indicates that the states learned their lesson from stories in previous generations of criminals escaping through various means and using the fake story of being a hitchhiker to enlist unwitting motorists into helping them get further away from the holding facility.

“Is this a Batman game or a horror game?” “YES” Bro I couldn’t agree more

[@crazydud3380]

Yes, it is a unique aspect of Arkham Asylum, that is never replicated, save for some brief isolated sections. It plays up the gothic nature of the Batman mythos, and traps you in complete chaos with mentally unstable criminals. That is a horrifying scenario. The game often conveys a tone and atmosphere of subtle horror (which becomes more explicit in the Scarecrow sections, and the Killer Croc segment).

[@michaeliv284]

About the fact that the doctor's tag only says "doctor": beside being an easy way to reuse an asset for multiple characters, it is in canon a great way for the inmates to not know your name. In real life, it is advised to not put your full name on your "name tag" if you work in the medical field, so the patients won't be able to find you on social media, etc. Here, in Arkham, it would also allowed the doctors to reveal their name and exact profession only when they want to and to who they need to. Not every inmate has to know their last name, only the ones they are working with.

The sin about Batman not bringing more gadgets is a not uncommon one that completely misses how necessary it is from a reality standpoint. Batman can't carry everything he owns. He has a base loadout because carrying too much risks weighing him down too much. He could have heavier armor plating, but it would reduce his agility and speed. Batman has to be achieve a balance between being prepared for anything and actually having only what he needs. Which is why he has an arsenal in the Batmobile and satellite Batcaves. No matter where he goes in Gotham, he can still have close access to an armory that will have what he can't carry at all times. It'd be really convenient to have a tool chest and array of basic automotive supplies in your car at all times, but most people don't so that they can have space to carry groceries or whatever. Same principle.

[@TheRealBDouble]

One thing to point out, not all staff that work in prisons/mental institutions are trained to defend themselves. As someone who's worked in corrections and in a hospital setting, I can attest to this. Medical staff *might* have incredibly basic training to defend *themselves*, but likely no training to defend others. There is a difference. Also, medical staff is usually prevented, by policy, to intervene in a physically violent situation and would leave that sort of thing to security staff. Yes, I know that this situation is something out of the norm, but the orderly that saved the guard probably would have had no idea how to fight Joker, and/or would have been too scared

[@tobyjack1238]

It’s been a long time, but I do distinctly remember having to look up the riddle in this game where you have to scan Wayne Tower because I only thought they would be things you could see up close. The same thing happened in Arkham City where you have to scan the asylum, but that’s even more obtuse because you can never get a hint on the map for it. At least by Knight I was wary enough of this type of riddle that I immediately scanned the notable areas outside the map when I saw them.

[@greathoonta3461]

Detective mode is explained in Arkham Knight. It uses a mix of sonar, and a sort of Bluetooth system which detects electronics. Along with Batman having thermal imaging lenses which I assume are contact lenses much like in the new Batman movie. Through that sonar it can also detect heartbeats. I’m sure the devs didn’t care about the science, but I assume they can tell through the sonar interference of hitting someone’s body and having the sound waves be partially dampened. If you don’t know, opposite directional sound waves will cancel each other’s sound. Being hooked up to the bat computer he can get his enemies stress levels and life signs with the sonar as well

So I'm currently getting a B.A. in History, and one thing we spend a lot of time with last semester was being able to understand which texts were written independently, and which use another text as inspiration or outright plagiarize those, and I think it's funny that here you can see this, in how some of the exact same "sins" repeat, like the Harley concussion sin, and the Joker Party thugs all having "the same voice actor" where you can clearly see that one is based on and heavily draws upon the other.

Not necessarily.

Perhaps Joker survived the shot to his jaw due to the happenstance that partly creates that smile. According to “The Three Jokers” storyline, one of the Jokers states that it, “Hurts to laugh.” This is revealed to be due to the vat of acid that bleached his skin. While examining several victims killed by the acid, it’s revealed that their jaws had partly melted. This seems to be true for at least one of the Jokers. So, in the game, due to the jaw melting, it could have concentrated more material to the bottom of the jaw due to gravity, allowing for an odd shape, and stronger structure, to save him from dying.

11:18 on top of that. It's a stealth game. The enemy AI has to be less aware of its surroundings than a regular enemy AI in order to make the game fun. Arkham actually has some of the best stealth game AI in gaming 35:55 it's actually year 11 and Batman has at least three other caves in the city alone, why not one on Arkham. Especially considering the fact that the Arkham Island cave is small and only has the basics 52:15 The police cars seen in this shot are most likely Ford Crown Victoria P71s which are a modified version of the Ford Crown Victoria sedan to serve as a police interceptor. It has a top speed of 177 kmh. The Batmobile in Arkham Knight has a top speed of 322 kmh and that's without the use of a literal jet engine. Considering that the Arkham Knight Batmobile is much heavier than the Arkham Asylum version, this version might be faster. Those cops couldn't follow batman even if they tried

10:12 also the Detective Mode isn't a rip off, it was somewhat reused from Rocksteady's Urban Chaos that was released 2 years prior to Asylum where you use thermal imaging.

[@Christian-be6eg]

Hey for the Scarecrow in Asylum I'm pretty sure that for the fear gas you could probably use a mask but in Knight his fear toxin has been upgraded Dialog from Knight: *Mentions the things that happen that night* "perhaps we should've left with the others" "Nah, I got a gas mask" "I've heard that the gas will go through masks" So for that it's more likely that Batman didn't expect to encounter Scarcrow seeing as though he was just fighting Joker then immediately went into the Asylum so Batman probably just prepared for fighting Joker so didn't think about a gas mask for Scarecrow (I could also be wrong but I don't think I saw anywhere in Asylum that said a gas mask was ineffective only in Knight)

But when Joker dies, Batman broke his rule.

Edit: I forgot to mention. I absolutely love this video. And your “what is actually wrong with” videos. Awesome work dude. Keep it up! Firstly, the sin that Joker is leading Bruce everywhere. Playing a game of cat and mouse instead of trying to stop Bruce. I absolutely love what you countered with. But I’d also like to mention that it is literally Joker’s MO. He leads everyone on cat and mouse games. Trails, clues, demonstrations…it’s all fun and games to him. He is known for incredibly elaborate, creative, and genius schemes that, on some occasions, turn out to be overthought. And until he finds a way to best Batman, he will lose in the very end. Because Batman is the sole being he has yet to best. If he can best Batman then he can best anyone. Secondly, It is sinned multiple times in these EWW videos about Joker not killing Batman. Which is stupid. Joker has not once wanted to legitimately end Bruce’s life. I don’t think Joker wants to end people’s lives just to end them. Or to end them at all. I mean, Joker loves to toy with and torture and terrify his victims. Usually he ends up killing them to mess with Batman and because they are lose ends. Without Batman, Joker has no archenemy. Without Batman there is no one who could stand in his way. Joker likes the challenge. Joker likes the extra effort he has to put in his schemes because he is very intelligent and creative. Batman’s existence allows him to follow through with elaborate schemes. And Joker would never kill the Batman seeing as how Joker has yet to truly best Batman. Sure, he’s beaten Batman. But never, never has Batman ever failed to stop Joker in the end.

As much as I hate to agree with the sin channels, there is one thing they criticize that although it doesn’t bother me I do think it is sin worthy: Batman resist turning into a Titan just because he has strong willpower. The problem is the Titan transformation is physical. It’s not like scarecrows toxin where you can resist it by overcoming your fear, The drug is meant to turn you into a hulking monster like Bane. Of course unlike the sin channels I can suspend my disbelief and say “he resisted it as long as he did before injecting the cure because he’s Batman” but I also understand why others would find that explanation to be BS.

Also the bit about Batman’s grapple gun . Batman vengeance was the first game to have a grapple gun. And it came out 4 years before resident evil 4 and batman begins. And 10 years before Arkham city defined the entire grapple system. Edit Also did you know that the spider man 3 game has a spider sense that you could toggle on and off to see enemies and useful objects. And it came out 2 years before asylum. Edit in Arkham city and Arkham origins all batsuits have a bigger right arm. Edit batman and robin 1997 was the first 3d Batman game to have playable robin and batgirl 15 years for robin and 18 years for batgirl the first to have an open world Gotham 16 years before Arkham origins. Note city is technically a prison and origins has south new Gotham witch you can see from wonder tower in city.and the first game to have a full 3d batmoblie 18 years before Arkham knight.

Another thing about sin 3 is the fact that even simple prisons have these signs. Mind you, they tend to be road signs and not on the actual sign itself, since obviously you shouldn’t pick up a hitchhiker right outside of a prison, but also escapees are more likely to have run off and are rarely dumb enough to linger just outside of the prison (where there are sure to be guards coming in for their shift or patrolling the exterior for breaches and the like). I see that sign as just the developer’s way of adding some attention to detail for the sake of making it much less plain of a sign, while keeping it within the realm of realism. Another argument you could have made is that even Alcatraz failed to keep inmates in, despite being on a rough island far from the coast, with rough and likely predator inhabited waters.

[@gamingmoth4542]

I love how he complains about the "Hitchhikers maybe escaping inmates" sign completely ignoring the fact that there are signs on roads like that around prisons all over the world. He could make the point that putting such a sign right at the entrance of the prison is redundant, but sinning the fact that it is there and claiming "Well, I guess security is just bad." is such a dumb remark. Some of the most secure Super Max Prisons in the U.S. (which are basically inescapable) still have these signs to warn passing drivers that they shouldn't pick up any hitchhikers for even the slight chance that someone may possibly escape.
