[@just1randomguy658]

@@Spider-Mate It's pretty terrifying to think what it'd be like if the toxin was real. I mean, it's gotta eat a person up inside. Like, yeah, you could threaten or scare a guy with a weapon or somethin', but with the toxin, it feeds on the person's innermost fears based on their personal experiences. I mean, really think about it. Every day you're not just reminded of things you regret or grief you've felt, but they become visualized, as if you're still in the moment. Just leeching on you, even after you submit to it. No gun can do that. And on top of that, I don't think (in Arkham Knight) that it's said how long the toxin lasts (though correct me if i'm wrong). So it could possibly last as long as years.

29:08 "Let's not mix work and politics, ok?" Smart goon right there.

[@Black_Knight_-BK-]

I remember there was a line from the militia that they saw Jason Todd's face. It was like "Arkham Knight was a kid" or somethin. They even saw Jason crying

[@villiannewyork]

20:12

[@Black_Knight_-BK-]

@@villiannewyork Nah, that's not it. They said he was crying

[@gx_pro2277]

Most of these soldiers seem like young men themselves

[@rasheedqe]

1:19:33 Yeah that thug is going to get every bone in his body broken.

[@undertow619]

His ass isn't coming outta that coma.

[@dissassemblydrone]

Batman would do it then wait till he heals and do it again. Every time until brucey dies

[@thatoneguy7765]

Anytime some thug, militia soldier, or whatever started talking big I always appreciated how someone was there to point out how many *other* people had boasted about how they were going to take down The Bat. Always made it so much more satisfying to drop down and kick ass right afterwards. It was such a lovely invitation, how could I refuse?

[@umbrellazandthangz1539]

20:22 THATS POINTING OUT HES FRIGGIN JASON TODDSD

[@Spidersapien5]

The conversations in these games are always a treat.

[@T-Bone99]

„An architectural connoisseur” 😂😂😂 I do love the one with the „we‘re right across a giant clock and you’re asking me how late it is?“ also

[@roryc6672]

T-Bone I had that one today lol

[@R0S3inC0NCR33T]

i love the notion that Gotham city is internationally infamous for having weird supervillain shit happening all the time, in addition to the high rate of traditional crime

[@maskedman]

Best dialog from the Thug: 39:32

[@joeferri3491]

1:27:33 best Conversation ever

[@damianalexstefan4466]

1:15:40 I just love when the thugs are playing like children. :))) Puts a smile on my face...

[@32123ABCBA]

I like that the NPCs have lively conversations, makes me more entertained

[@jojosbruhmoment1192]

I remember hearing a militia saying “group up for a selfie! #city of fear!” Probably worded it wrong

[@dmobh5047]

It’s so cool how they subtly integrated same sex relationships in this conversation. 31:45.

[@rickyjupe704]

I didn't even know that was a line lol

[@Kabirdix]

Winter Sky It’s pretty understated, mate. I’m sure you can take it.

[@TheDittoMan]

@Winter Sky TFW you're so fragile that you can't handle fictional gay people in a video game

[@budusbusham3324]

Gotham criminals/terrorists are equal opportunity offenders. Hell, remember the time the Joker beat up Red Skull because he was a nazi?

[@arbodeltaco]

reddit moment

[@ReaperofValhalla]

I feel like a game about the Ark Knight and how he built his army. Going off recruiting cast away soldiers, killing those who get in your way and researching cutting edge tech. Kinda like another MGS game

[@uberbyte7467]

Deathstroke is basically big boss, except without stealth abilities.

[@wobblewokgaming655]

I love how dialogue from the guards shows us just how powerful Scarecrow's Fear Toxin is. Even in its gaseous state, which Scarecrow himself admits isn't nearly as potent as the liquid Fear Toxin in his Freddy Krueger-esc syringe hand thing, is powerful enough to cause convincing auditory hallucinations just after breathing in a small amount.

[@PointManFoxy]

Just in the Arkham Knight's anniversary day . Nice work man keep it up

[@jelliottbeck]

I like how these guys have the most simple conversations while being trained soldiers They're just doing their jobs, taking orders, and then here we come, turning their leg sideways, stealing their femurs, and twisting their arms 180° like the menace we are lol

[@JohnDoe_51151]

4:19 this conversation hits hard dude. I forgot that these criminals and militia soldiers are human beings too

[@KennyLunacy]

They went above and beyond with NPC conversations. Just imagine how much of the dialog was cut from the game.

[@DallySkyeAnims]

31:58 Even cheating would be a better excuse than this betrayal lol.

[@thatonefool0215]

Yeah, right? If his man finds out about what he's doing in Gotham, he's a dead man 😂

[@justwatch7091]

To be fair, he is technically in a business trip.

[@annoying_HK_guy]

1:29:01 still not good as Mark'laugh,guys!

[@funnyguy2991]

Maybe Paulie could teach 'em.

[@Spidersapien5]

1:12 almost everyone's fantasy

[@ericbudiono7451]

15:12 i love the little details that the 2 soldiers actually walk away after finishing the conversation

[@00Batman]

Every member feels like they each have their own lives and thoughts

[@Archone666]

30:50 sums up the REAL problem with Batman's modus operandi.

[@Serryy]

The militia consistently being freaked out by Scarecrows face throughout the game is one of the best parts of Arkham Knight :D

[@Ambushbug]

One of my favorite batman moments no action just fear and stare down 13:14 Milita look it batman keep away from the doors milita #2 why look he can get through here it solid iron "hi batman i know you love to come in here and use your fancy kung fu on us and reck our radar console, but your not on the list milita so you not coming in #2 d.don't provoke him and don't put your fingers through the bars milita #2 yeeahh he look different up close and bigger uhh you think i piss him off? Milita i don't know maybe ask him milita #2 uhh Batman i was joking about the list but we can't let you, in here we just doing our your just doing your hobbies no hard feelings yeah?

[@strykerman7888]

I want to know what happens when you go back to them. XD

[@Ambushbug]

Lol they freak out even more

[@smartii3s]

I honestly love the Militia reaction to finding bodies, their little talks “Was it batman?” “No bruises Choked out(Something like that)” and how they know his MO and then at the end there’s one left they’re terrified and Knight is just wanting him to be taken out although I don’t think there’s any dialogue when they’re alone

[@alperthemephistopheles3342]

It's been 3 years. 3 Years since the legend died.

[@sharkdude7]

7:36 good thing this guy never met Ratcatcher

[@kentjackson2694]

I can recognize Steve Blums iconic voice from a mile away

[@kyleyuen245]

15:19 I like to imagine that both the Arkham Knight and Scarcrow told him not to do it

[@shazamblake3796]

I think we can all agree that Militia Conversation #8 is relatable to a degree And at 13:18 I like those two militia soldiers. They seem nice, a hell of a lot nicer than most other thugs. And at 51:55, one of the thugs was being really dramatic with their threat. "Its gonna be NICE and SLOOOW" 😂😂

[@maggyaspaannetta5863]

"Look, look, look,they got jawline at 3"

[@tzvijakob5122]

56:03 do the worm

[@Nic_03_21]

Don’t you just love waiting, listening to their conversations, adding it to the main story, and then you have to take them down.

[@Raipongai]

44:18 imagine an army of robins

[@gx_pro2277]

The funniest one ive heard is two making a bet and saying that the loser has to tell the arkham knight he'd look better with a cape

[@JSCUBS]

Seeing the soldiers laugh and make jokes just makes me so happy

[@notsomadmax8286]

I feel bad for some of the militia like that one guy at 19:43 that conversation just really made me feel bad for them.

[@GriffonGaming8888]

It makes sense because of Bruce negligence for Jason

[@calamityjehn]

13:30 cracks me up so much. Just the bravado slowly fading down to the uncertainty. And then the certainty of "we had an understanding". Almost makes me feel bad when you break in later. XD

[@DeathStroke-wr5zl]

I was pretty much a little kid when I first started following your channel all those years ago. It's amazing to see how far you've come ever since then and with a new rocksteady game coming soon it only goes up from here

[@TheArkhamChannel]

DeathStroke1116 Very glad to know you still follow the channel! Hopefully there are still many more games to come, so the cycle never stops.

[@DeathStroke-wr5zl]

The Arkham Channel I'm sure everybody who knows they are developing another game is hoping it's a game related to the Arkham series somehow even if you're not batman because there were many holes left in the story after Arkham knight

[@tritondemius3723]

The fact that I listened through this entire video and was entertained is really telling of how good the dialogue is
