There were whispers after Arkham City. Some think you changed. Some think you killed him. I know better. I know there are some lines that even the Batman fears to cross...

Love this game
Too bad Suicide Squad completely shits over these Arkham games in every single way imaginable. It’s best to consider that piece of shit entirely non-canon.
Crane being a Psychiatrist is always weird as it would make more sense for him to be Scientist with a Chemistry background considering all the fear toxin stuff he makes. I'm a Biomedical Scientist and most doctors I know are morons when it comes to the actual science. They just memorise the stuff in the books but don't understand it. so crane being a Psychiatrist (a doctor) never made that much sense to me.
>Joker uses smile gas he should have been a chemist not a clown
>Crane uses fear gas he should have been a chemist not a clown
>Bane uses strength gas he should have been a chemist not a wrestler
>Ivy uses plant gas she should have been a chemist not a botanist
>Ra's al Ghul uses zombie gas he should have been a chemist not an assassin mastermind
>Freeze and Firefly use whatever the frick they do, they should have been a chemist not whatever the frick they are
Freeze *is* a chemist
Botany involves quite a bit of chemistry, to be fair.
It's not just about having autistic skills to get a career.
He’s obsessed with fear and got into psychiatry to understand his own mental illness and fear at its core, it makes sense
It doesn’t make sense for Arkham Bane to have an IQ near Batman yet act like a luchador on roids
you sound pretty dumb, not surprising you aren't a Dr.
Well, Gotham technically exists in that specific noir "era", when chemistry is heavily involved in everything. Part of the setting, industry and stuff. You can't just pull space asteroid randomly mutating caveman into immortal being in Gotham setting or start throwing space bikers on jet motorcycles, it just doesn't fit the setting.
For me, it's Bleake Island.
Everyone but me hated the new Scarecrow, I thought he had a really good design and new voice
It’s good but I prefer Arkham Asylum’s Scarecrow more. He dosent even feel like the same character when you compare his portrayal in Asylum vs his portrayal in Knight. I love how he looks but his voice is a bit too monotone. I wish he displayed his insanity a bit more with devious laughs like he does in the Scarecrow Batmobile mission DLCs.
I thought the whole experience with Croc made him more serious. It makes sense if you consider that hes spent his villain career tormenting a guy in a batsuit or performing experiments on people for giggles, then suddenly an 8ft tall, 600lb mutant crocodile man nearly drowns you to death.
Yeah that makes sense and is pretty much canon, but I kind of wish he displayed at least SOME aspects of his personality from Asylum. He feels way too monotone and serious the entire game. I think a good compromise would be to have him be all serious and threatening during the first half of the game, and slowly show him start displaying just a LITTLE more insanity as the game progresses. Would have been kino hearing him laugh like a evil maniac again, showing he’s still the same character despite the facelift. The Batmobile DLC for PlayStation where you drive around Gotham and fight Scarecrow does this. He’s still scary and serious but he has fits of insane laughter every now and then. Would have been a great compromise but unfortunately he’s basically Hugo Strange 2.0.
To death is actually the only way you even can down someone.
people hated his design in Knight?
I hated it he should've re-entered as a boss fight at the last act with a scarecrow themed tank, it would've been so cool. Also the tanks would be accompanied by more tanks that batman would need to sneak around.

There are some PlayStation exclusive Batmobile challenges where you drive around in the Batmobile and fight a giant version of Scarecrow. Seems extremely obvious that these missions were part of the main game, but was cut to be a console exclusive for whatever reason. Seems like it would have happened around the time when Scarecrow activates the Cloudburst and covers Gotham in his toxin.
I liked it...if he wasn't completely different in asylum. Should have made him a different character.
Imagine the smell
I love Arkham Knight. I think most of the backlash it got was due to it's performance issues. There is certainly criticism to be made, but it was the perfect sendoff to the saga, perfected the gameplay systems, was a huge batfam power fantasy tribute and is to this day one of the best looking games of all time
The writing sucks but seeing the leaks for Suicide Squad makes me reevaluate how tough I was on this game. Yeah the whole joker blood plot line is fricking moronic but it’s way better than a bunch of nobodies murdering the Justice League
*blocks your path*
>cure him of vampire bat ligma
>he gets free next Halloween and slaps me in the mouth again
>also, his wife also contracted vampire bat ligma
It be like that sometimes, I guess.
“You thought me lost deep beneath the waters of Arkham Asylum. But like all suppressed fears I eventually resurface...”
Why does he blame Batman and not Killer Croc for what happened to him, even though Croc is also around?
Shit writing, but I guess you could say that Batman didn’t even try to save Scarecrow after Croc grabbed him and took him underwater. He says in a broadcast that he believes Batman left him for dead, which is KINDA true considering Batman dosent even bother looking for Scarecrow at all. I guess he assumed he was dead as frick but knowing Batman I don’t see why he didn’t at least TRY to find him or his corpse
I bet Batman at the back of his mind appreciates the idea of his villain ensemble killing each other off or maybe the Joker getting a sniper bullet to the head or the death penalty. He isn't that much of a control freak that he wants to protect them and it would alleviate so many other issues. If idk Ivy were to get stabbed in prison by Harley and die does he have any reason to feel bad? He did his job, put the criminals away.
The thing I like about Batman is that he genuinely wants to help the criminals he puts away. He believes that they can all be reformed and renter society with help, which I actually admire about him. So it kind of makes sense why he would go out of his way to save criminals from their deaths. He deeply cares about most of them and wants them to get help.
I think this angle works more for the tragic ones who started out more sane or have hints of redemption in them. Like in The Batman, Ethan Benett is Batman's friend who becomes Clayface and its played as a horrific tragedy. Two-Face was once a respectable lawyer, Ivy could feasibly use her powers for good more than evil, Harley has a doctorate and so on. But Joker or Zsasz? I mean they're serial killers. Croc is implied to engage in cannibalism and so on.
I agree that it’s a bit of a character flaw/plot hole, but I like the interpretation that Batman is basically just as insane as the rest of the villains he fights, and that if he starts killing them, he won’t stop. It kind of implies that Batman WANTS to kill people like Joker, but knows that doing so will send him down a rabbit hole he won’t be able to get out of. Also keep in mind that Batman works with Gordon, who is a very “by the books” police officer, so it makes sense that he would want to honor the integrity of the law. Plus Gotham City is in a no-kill state, so it’s not really Batman’s fault that the police/government decide NOT to execute his rouges gallery. Plus they are all technically insane, so they can’t really be killed for their crimes. Personally, I never was really bothered by Batman’s “no-kill” policy. Makes the character more interesting when you view it as a character flaw.
Croc just wants to be a normie again and plays up the monster angle because of how he's treated. There's an AU story where Bruce becomes a doctor at Arkham and Croc is one of the people he manages to cure just by treating him like a person.
>The thing I like about Batman is that he genuinely wants to help the criminals he puts away.
This is the only time in any Batman media and excluding like 5 or 6 Batman comics where I felt Batman managed to do just that, and for Joker no less.
Say what you want about Telltale games, but this scene was Kino of levels that shouldn't be possible in any Batman game ever.
The Telltale games had so many dumb writing decisions, but dammit if they didn't make me like John by the end.
>you broke my heart John
While that is definitely true for some of his rogues in general I would say it's less about rehabilitation and more so them having a reckoning with justice in a high minded paternal sort of way. The punisher would mutilate and kill someone he found irredeemable, batman would have them face the truth of their evil deeds while they live out their sentence.
>He isn't that much of a control freak that he wants to protect them.
lol he beat the shit out of Jason once in the comics when he tried to kill the Penguin. And he threatened to do it again if he tried.
Idk URH kinda disputes this
Red hood calls him out on this, he’s had so many opportunities to “let” Jason or a rival dealer kill joker but bagman autistically saves him despite joker fully awaringly going on to still kill people lol
Like what’s the harm in just letting red hood slip away one time then murkinf joker.
I like to believe that the reason Croc ended up in Iron Heights being tortured is because of Scarecrow.
Idc what anyone says scarecrow in Arkham is kino
Dude is just genuinely mentally I’ll and obsessed.
>doesn’t gvaf about Batman’s identity
>uses people like a psychopath
>genuinely just hates Batman for throwing him in the river with croc
>badass autist rants and speeches during kino moments of the game
>only genuine villain that is kind of scary
AK falters a bit towards the end and I think Crane is defeated a bit too easily, but still kino
Every time Scarecrow comes on a TV to monologue I always stop what I’m doing and just stand there facing the TV screen while he says his speech. Absolute kino
I feel like Scarecrow talked too much in Knight. He just felt like he was trying too hard to scare you.
>I know better. I know there are some lines that even the Batman fears to cross...
So he raped him or?
Get out of here, Gordon.
How do you like this place?
frick is up with the floating ufo building?
Only Bioware knows.

Replaying this game now and while I do enjoy most of it, such as the stupidly fluid combat and the graphics and the overall content, but to this day I'm still wondering what the hell happened with the boss fights.
Arkham Asylum had mid boss fights but that is justifiable considering it was a test run and the team didn't have many resources.
Arkham City had some of the best boss fights like Clay Face, Ras, Freeze.
Origins had Deathstroke, Bane, Firefly and even Copperhead was ok.
Yet Arkham Knight didn't even have one enjoyable bossfight. Every enemy from the previous games they triviliazed.
They reduced Deathstroke the one guy who can go toe to toe with Batman to a fricking tank fight and a cutscene.
Firefly is a recycled Batmobile chase.
The Arkham Knight spend the entire game shit talking you in every encounter just leaves everytime and when it's finally time to fight him he just starts camping on a gargoyle like a CoD player trying to snipe you. You would've though that they would make you fight him hand to hand before that.
Only Riddler who is one of the last villains who would ever trade physical blows with Batman got a proper boss fight.
How do you explain this?
I thought scarecrow kind of sucked in knight? he became a lex luthor league of super criminals stand in, it was weird.
