If I Wrote Arkham Origins 2: Side Missions Edition

Video idea. What if Gotham Knights took place in the Arkham-verse? AKA, What if Gotham Knights was a sequel to Arkham Knight?

Yeah that’s a good idea

I would definitely love that

[@deshawnedwards6412]

​@@BatarangTV I know right? I mean it would still have the same plot and everything, instead it'll be taking place in a already established universe, just it takes place something after the event of Knight, where everyone believe Batman is "dead", we already have all main four of the characters existing in the Arkham-verse, Nightwing, Robin, Red Hood and Barbara. Who could become Batgirl again via the use of some wacky space age technology that could allow her Walk again.

[@mtfelizabeth9481]

Idea, maybe the Batcave could have a full-on Trophy Room with trophies unlocked for each villain you face in the main and side stories. Since Robin follows his investigations in secret, maybe he could have a hidden section of the Trophy Room designated for Trophies from his exclusive side missions. When Robin's completed all of his side missions, it would unlock a bonus interaction where Robin finds the secret Trophy Room open with Batman inside. Robin thinks Batman is disappointed in him. Batman would end up saying something like "You saved the District Attorney, took down a deranged serial killer, and helped three people get their lives back together. I'm proud of you, Dick. Next time, maybe just call first." Afterwards, Robin can find Batman in the private room commenting on Robin's trophies, saying stuff like, Batman: "Barton Mathis, the Dollmaker? I think this is the killer I've been tracking." Robin: "Guess I got to him first." or Batman: "I'll have to look into "Shrike" and his master. There's lots we still don't know."

[@agentcooper194]

That's be a pretty good idea and something I'd very much like to see.

[@definitelybread1863]

I absolutely love these missions and the characters you used. One side note is that while I love doctor phosphorous and his is my favorite mission, it is revealed in Simon staggs audio tapes from arkham knight he hasn't gone through his transformation even up to scarecrows teamup

[@thestrongestnerd4284]

Hmm maybe phosphorous rex or professor radium could b used instead then

[@mtfelizabeth9481]

@@thestrongestnerd4284 Dr. Phosphorous is needed for the mission because of his connection to Rupert Thorne in the comics. This doesn't really matter anyway since the Arkham series has been known to walk back on insignificant details like these. We don't even know if the audio tapes are canon since Joker's tapes from Asylum were retconned in Origins.

[@themadtitan7603]

I think it can fit depending on how it's handled. Arkham Bonds seems like a lighter entry which reflects Bruce accepting allies after Origins with Robin. As Game Den said, it marks the transition in Gotham from more grounded early year stories to the more comicbook ones. When Golden Age type villains & stories started occurring.

[@Justachannel-u9w]

It makes sense all the villains are new so they haven’t really embraced there darker sides yet

[@themadtitan7603]

@@Justachannel-u9w If such a sequel for Origins get made, it'd be cool to look at the Arkham saga as a descent of the Bat-Family and the villains into darkness. Hell, if Joker were to pop up in an Arkham Origins 2, I'd like if he was a side villain with sillier schemes like patenting smiling fish.

[@thestrongestnerd4284]

GED, you are missing your calling as a professional scriptwriter: the video game industry needs someone like you right now.👑

[@ARK.24]

Ah now we need a 3 part of this to show robin becoming nightwing and Jason being the new robin but the only difference is that he’s more aggressive compare to Grayson

[@Dommylmao]

I can picture it now; Batman: Arkham Legacy. Taking place in two places simultaneously, Blüdhaven and Gotham. While Dick is out on his own trying to form his own legacy as nightwing, trying to not be another Batman, Jason is dealing with the legacy Dick left behind in Gotham, with everyone, including Batman, comparing him to Dick.

[@insomniagobrrr5542]

Dick-era Robin was the most violent Robin until Damian showed up with a sword. Inversely, the only former Robin that is willing to kill was the most tame of them.

[@seanfulldark]

Couple of suggestions, I would change the doctor phosphorus fight to be more of a strategic replay of the Mr. freeze fight in the second Arkham game with a slight change up, instead of you having to perform sneak attacks your goal is to use the area around you to deal damage to doctor fossarus because the closer you get the more damage you receive the goal is to knock him out without being near him. I feel like this would make some interesting concepts about setting up traps and testing out more gadgets for your player character maybe one or two gadgets would be eventually disabled well because doctor posterous actually destroys your supply of the gadget or develops a resistance to it. Maybe some reward points for making it easier if you actually face off against killer moth first and then facing off against this match.

[@ApolloMusicWasTaken]

I loved this entire project down to the last detail, I can't wait to see what you do next with these types of videos. You've even inspired me to make my own project putting GK in the Arkham-Verse.

I really like both the original and this video on an Arkham sequel. I do kinda wish a WBMontreal trilogy was made separate to the OG as its own new trilogy. Additionally, if that wasn’t the case, I would’ve liked to see a side mission in Origins or this game about “The Wrath”. Have him be a 3 mission side story where he fights Batman, then Robin, then both of them. He would have a sidekick like Batman called Scorn, they would have a double boss fight with the duo and during a cutscene Scorn would fall off the rooftop fighting area too his death. This would lead to Wrath swearing bloody vengeance on Batman, Robin and Gotham itself. Fast forward to City where there’s some info dropped on a new player called Prometheus, his old base could be found in free roam. Then to Knight, where the ‘Arkham Knight’ is Prometheus/ The Wrath who has reinvented himself to destroy the Bat and Gotham. He also has Jason as his “new Scorn”, who he’s manipulated against Batman. The end fight would be Prometheus in a now comic accurate suit vs Batman, and Jason in an altered Red Hood suit vs Tim. I think this would be neat but that’s just my take. If someone has a question on this character I can answer if that’s wanted, or just Google them too.

[@ShackleYT]

You crazy You bought in Maxie Zeus, Matches Malone, and PENNY PLUNDERER?! you fan loving crazy amazing person i love it! Especially Maxie, my guy needs a better presentation than he usually gets. my favorite depiction is the one in the batman cartoon from 2004. The only way this could be more obscure and awesome is if Baby Doll was bought in somehow. And also Promethus. and maybe gearhead for some batmobile challenges.

Hades would be a better ruler than Zeus ever was. Plus, he's Zeus's elder brother. Dollhouse mission. You said there was a man, woman and child in the cage with Robin originally. Then you say, 'Robin has to keep the man and kid safe. Especially the child'. I know that's nitpicking.

[@yeez13]

For the Maxie Zeus part, I would’ve done something similar to the Zsasz & Hush side missions in Arkham City. Maybe even throw in a twist where it’s implicitly implied that Zeus is somehow supernatural (for real) in the ArkhamVerse universe as a means to explain his abilities + act as a subtle means to hint at the Greek Gods & Themescira within the universe’s lore. As for the Side Mission…it would be doing Crime Scene Reconstructions dealing with random electrocutions/“domestic disputes” + fights with themed henchmen who style themselves around Spartans/Athenian soldiers w/ period-appropriate swords & shields combined with Electrical properties that make them more dangerous…maybe even lightning bolts from a technological source (versus Maxie Zeus’ “REAL Magical abilities”) What would be wild too is if it’s a nod to Brian Azzarello’s Wonder Woman (New 52) run where Zeus is revealed to have been philandering & shmoozing with the mortal women of the world at large while leaving behind some single mothers while being in a disguise 🤔 It would be a great way to synergize with Avalanche’s in-development Wonder Woman game + still have the actual Maxie Zeus tied up in a Safehouse (or even Hades) somewhere as the Real Zeus uses his likeness
