Arkham Knight Critique - Legacy of the Bat

Batman: Arkham Knight is about Legacy. Rocksteady ripped out every system, re-examined every set-piece, redesigned the combat, the stealth, the gadgets, to give them a new lease of life in an open world that is proudly designed to be played, not wander through. The feeling of playing Arkham Knight is very different from the feeling of playing Asylum, City, or Origins. And that’s not just because of the batmobile. So let’s look at Batman’s legend, and the legacy of the game that said goodbye to him. *LORE DUMP* Thumbnail by Zoltiboi *MERCH* humanus?collection=qRRSshxeWA *TWITTER* *PATREON* *TIMESTAMPS* 00:00:00 - Introduction 00:05:36 - Life is Just Death’s Opening Act 00:22:29 - i 00:25:15 - Evening the Odds 00:41:17 - ii 00:43:51 - A High-Tech Hero 00:57:05 - iii 00:59:04 - Gallery of Rogues 01:24:32 - iv 01:26:37 - Theatricality and Deception 01:38:40 - v 01:41:27 - A Matter of Family 01:52:32 - vi 01:53:35 - Arkham World 02:08:11 - vii 02:10:08 - Joker 02:24:53 - viii 02:28:00 - Race Car Riddler 02:41:02 - ix 02:44:42 - Beatdown 02:54:07 - x 02:56:56 - The Arkham Knight 03:08:54 - xi 03:11:54 - I Am Batman *BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS CRITIQUE - VENGEANCE OF THE BAT* *BATMAN: ARKHAM CITY CRITIQUE - BREAKING THE BAT* *BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM CRITIQUE - FINDING THE BAT* *GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY CRITIQUE - ROCK’N’ROLLERCOASTER* *FOOTAGE/REFERENCES* 1 - Angry Joe - Arkham Knight Angry Review (Spoilers) 2 - Godzilla Mendoza - Arkham Knight’s Disappointing Gameplay 3 - MinnMax - Chat with Dax Ginn, Producer of Arkham Knight - Floor Report E3 2014 4 - Red Carpet News TV - Kevin Conroy Picks His Favourite Batman Video Game 5 - Travis Langley - Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight 6 - Unleash the Enemy - Sefton Hill: “We’re Putting Everything into Arkham Knight“ 7 - God is a Geek - Batman: Arkham Knight - An Interview with Gaz Deaves 8 - Connected Digital World - Batman Arkham Knight Exclusive Interview with Rocksteady 9 - IGN - The Fire Burns Forever: Reflecting on a legendary Batman saga with writer Grant Morrison 10 - IGN - The New 52 Interviews: Batgirl 11 - Venture Beat - Batman: Arkham Knight - Designing a Proper Gotham City (and what’s with the Batmobile?) 12 - Screen Rant - Gotham Knights Must Avoid Batman: Arkham Knight’s Worst Mistake 13 - The Comics Journal Library - Frank Miller: The Interviews - 1981-2003 14 - Kotaku - A very excited man tells us all about Arkham Knight 15 - Gamespot - Rocksteady checks in with the guys about Batman: Arkham Knight - Kinda Funny Stage Show E3 2015 16 - Game Informer - Why Arkham Knight is Rocksteady’s Last 17 - NeoGame Archive - Batman: Arkham Knight: The Voices of Arkham 18 - Watch Mojo - 10 Weirdest Arkham Knight PC Glitches 19 - Playstation Europe - Arkham Knight Interview with Dax Ginn 20 - Playstation - Batman Arkham Knight Exclusive Interview with Sefton Hill 21 - Holy Batmania (1984 Documentary) 22 - Connected Digital World - Batman Arkham Knight Interview with Gaz from Rocksteady 23 - The Daily Wire - DC made SUperman gay, climate change activist.
