5 Worst Boss Fights in the Batman Arkham Series
Vložit
- čas přidán 26. 08. 2024
- The Batman Arkham series does a lot right. Between Batman Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins and Arkham Knight, each game brought in new unique elements of the Batman mythos and provided a spin to the classic Dark Knight lore. One area where the games seemed to struggle, however, was boss fights. We already took a look at the best boss battles in the Arkham series, so now we're taking a look at the worst the series has to offer. Rocksteady and WB Games Montreal had very different approaches to bosses, but everything is fair game here. #BatmanArkham #Top5 #Batman

With Knight you can't even tell what counts as an actual boss fight
I legitimately love your username.
Thanks
the only thing close to an actual boss fight was riddler and tgat random chopper drone. everything else hell no. even riddler boss is pathetic and makes me wonder how this riddle should be challenging in any way coming from the RIDDLER
was hyped as hell for killer crocs return. His Origins was a good fist fight, his Asylum one had amazing atmosphere, but in Knight you literally just fight everyone else in the perfectly lit room then just spam x and press y when it pops up for 3 seconds. I was under the impression his hide and muscle and scales would be too tough to take out with fists alone but I guess not. Everyone's favourite Batman fights are the ones where he just doesn't stop punching
Daniel Wood The Killer Croc fight is pretty much just a reskin of the black joker thug guy
The Deathstroke tank battle is an embarrassment if we’re being honest. Deathstroke in origins was intimidating and the fight felt intense. In this battle, he stays in his tank, and then when he comes out Batman just pounces him and knocks him out in one hit. Why’d they have to slap us in the face like that?
U r so right seriously I remember I had died over and over to origins deathstroke boss battle then there’s Knight...
JC Gregory by the end of the battle, my forehead and palms were so sweaty
I agree, and even then if they wanted a tank battle sure but it would be nice if after he jumped out of the tank you had to fight him hand to hand or something.
I honestly think the reason they made deathstroke and firefly boss battles batmobile based is because Arkham knight and origins were being produced at the same time, so that being said both respective companies probably discussed the games with each other and thought “we shouldn’t make both games have identical boss fights, let’s make all of Batman’s other rogues unique and give the ones who are in origins the batmobile ones” which tbf is the most logical choice but in hindsight and the failure of origins, they should’ve invested the batmobile boss fights in non combat based villains like penguin and two face
What makes it worse is that riddler takes multiple hits by Batman and catwoman in arkham knight but deathstroke just gets one-shotted
Electrocutioner was the best
Nightwing24 yeah man
Very hard boss battle isn’t it
Oscar Young
yeah...
I died like three times...
Have to agree with this one
Obviously.
But we all know no one can top the executioner boss fight
Electrocutioner is OP
I like jokers in origins.
52 weeks it took me
Where’s the BAT
Yoooo, I almost quit because of the insane difficulty
deathstroke’s boss fight in arkham knight was amazing
said no one ever
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
The boss fight is iconic for all the wrong reasons
Yep, it's so fucking annoying.
They should have save deathstroke boss battle for last.
Its so free .x. its harder getting to em than it is fighting em lmao
"Why did Joker shoot himself with the Titan formula?" -- this wasn't Joker's plan in ArkA. By that time, Batman had already beaten his main plan (which could be considered a problem in story pacing, I agree.) Joker had set up an ad hoc plan to turn a captured Gordon (surprise!) into a Titan in front of Batman, but Batman took the shot instead. To Joker's surprise, Batman was resisting the change, so he Titan'd himself up to force Batman to change, now with an extra twist: either stop the Joker by giving him the cure, or be slaughtered by the JokerTitan if Batman cures himself.
Admittedly the subsequent grand finale boss fight is lame (aside from the final punch, though that looks like it ought to hurt Batman just as much if not more, and it doesn't.)
Still how could he resist the change? Some kind of superpower or something?
@@akwilson1676 batman always had the strongest will
Because he's Batman. (And also has had an ongoing regimen of anti-toxins for ten-plus years by that time.) It's kind of a trope that Batman can just trump chemical reactions in his body to a certain extent, by using advanced eastern esoteric biorhythm techniques or whatever. He tanks a ridiculous amount of fear toxin earlier in the game, too: the Scarecrow starts to wonder if he's even human!
I never even thought about that! Thanks for the perspective!
I just figured since he resisted the fear gas but it wouldn't be out of his system that fast, it weakened the Titan. Doctors ask about the drugs you take because some can have unpredictable results when taken together. Just this time, the reaction was one negates the other. Scarecrow saved the Bat this time.
Worst boss fight ever! in the Arkham series, Deathstroke in Arkham Knight.
Deshawn Edwards I was so hyped when I found out this was in the end game ....
Then the boss battle happened ....
@@AHeroAlmost I cried
What that was my favorite boss fight. Am I to assume that u guys didn’t like tank battles? How, the game was filled with them and each one was better than the last
Arkham knight battles in general were bad
Just Why. well its not all bad but its mostly bad
Agreed: the only creativity to the Firefly sidemission, was rescuing the firefighters -- which of course was treated as a separate side mission!
I know I’m kinda late but I really hated that because I saved all firefighters first so I was a little confused and disappointed
I think if they gave the Deathstroke and Arkham Knight tank battles a second phase where you fight them hand-to-hand, their boss battles would’ve been a lot better.
The deathstroke tank fight legitimately pissed me off. You go through all of that work of destroying all of the mines, checkpoints, etc. Just to get a repeat of the cloudburst. It would have been one thing if it was a scrawny guy like Riddler, but THIS IS DEATHSTROKE!
Title: 5 Worst Boss Fights in the Batman Arkham Series
Answer: *All of the boss battles in Arkham Knight*
I think the final fight against Scarecrow was great. It wasn't a true physical fight against Scarecrow, but a psychological one that from a gameplay point of view, it actually turned into a physical real fight inside Batman's mind against the Joker. And I think that was genius: the final fight against Scarecrow was the internal fight against the Joker, or against Batman when you play as the Joker. Because if you think about it, while it's true that Batman had Joker's blood in him, it was ultimately Scarecrow's toxin at the beginning of the game which triggered the Joker's hallucinations.
Croc was cool
Slothers Croc wasn’t in Knight
NATHANIEL SIEGER wait you mean beer belly?
The final was great! You use Joker while he's dead, because Batman can't live without Joker, Joker can't live without Batman! That's why Batman has Spirits of Joker.
Fun fact: you can take down Deathstroke before Scarecrow.
I think after you fight Jason in arkham knight HQ you can fight deathstroke
You have to in order to watch the secret ending
The Deathstroke tank battle is a copy and paste version of the Cloudburst boss battle
An easier cloudburst mission
Facts
The cloudburst tank was more fun than the deathstroke because it was a hit and run where you had to drive away from it while it chased you. I wish that it would have been much faster when you were driving away to increase tension
People to Origins after playing the Arkham Knight boss fights.
“Perhaps I treated you so too harshly”
Arkham Origins gets a bad rap. It is certainly in my bottom two Arkham games, but it was still super good. I remember having tons of fun fucking around with Deathstroke DLC and stuff. Now that I think about it base game is just okay. But the boss battles were good
@@youraveragegamer8832 they were the best
Wdym origins has the best boss line ups in the entire arkham franchise
Sure City have Mr.Freeze, but other than that it's either a run and gun bossfight with goons or The Inferior Bane or Deadshot
Honestly, origins had the best story and bosses, not to mention how amazing the cold cold heart dlc was
Origins : amazing boss fights
Knight : here just shoot him in a tank
Rocksteady should have hired WB again if they forgot how boss battles worked
Wb is working on Gotham knights, I’m sure the bosses are gonna be good
@@pogggaming4470….
@@jd.cd2493this is all wb's fault
Even though the Deadshot “boss fight” in City was a side mission I wasn’t expecting it to be that simple to defeat him I was honestly disappointed.
its so pathetically easy its hard to even call a battle, it takes less than a minute lmao. it's basically the electrocutioner
1. Deadshot from City
2. Deathstroke from Knight
3. Joker from Asylum
4. Bane from Asylum
5. Firefly from Knight
Before watching the video, that’s my top (or bottom?) list
Our lists are really dang close lol.
Degenerate Jay Didn’t mind the Cloudburst fight so much, except when it was re-skinned for the Deathstroke fight
I was so excited for the bane fight is asylum because i love bane, and then i beat the boss and was like “wait, what, thats it??”
Deadshot should not be considered a boss fight . There are only 4 boss fights in arkham city
Solomon Grundy
ras al ghul
Mr freeze
clayface.
Firefly felt quite cinematic to me....and I liked it.
The cloudburst was actually the best tank battle. For once playing hide and seek was actually important.
I was more disappointed in how it didn't change anything really afterwards, everyone was perfectly normal, all the bodies somehow just vanish.
Hirnlego999 I somewhat agree with you, it was jus so damn difficult the first tine through tho! Difficult and tedious. Even now I just stick to one specific building and dodge around it to kill the Cloudburst. Had no fun playing it, but I’ll admit it did feel unique
@@SILK97 Yeah, it was very difficult and it certainly felt that Batman was quite not capable of dealing with this anymore. Which I loved, I mean it was not the city of fear so much for its inhabitants as it was for Batman, he was way over his head this time around.
Cloudburst is super easy
Cloudburst was horrifying boss when I first played it beacuse it felt much more dangerous and quick than standard tank (or maybe I'm just a bad player)
@@mysoncrumphaseveryinjury3853 Well no, he is quite a bit better than the average Cobra tank, and it can be a small place to be stuck in with so many and of course there is some randomness to it.
I've replayed the game maybe 5 times and even a couple times later on I've almost been killed because I took too big chances.
And of course if the player has not acquired the update to lure the cobras with the shots and has no upgrade points to spend then it becomes even harder.
Joker injecting himself with Titan reminds me of Brawn, an episode from The Batman TV series where Joker stole Bane's venom gear and used it to boost himself up...wonder if the creators of Asylum took inspiration from that....🤔
Most likely. Too similar to not be the case. Would be cool if it is though
for sure they did
Arkham Knight’s was the most disappointing. Just grappling up to him really? That’s the best they could come up. After the INCREDIBLE boss fights in Arkham city I expected so much more
I wouldn't call City's incredible but they were a huge step up from Asylum and much better than Knight. They at least all worked and were mostly fun. Freeze was great and so was Ras.
The Questionable not incredible? What boss fights are good to you then lol?
It's especially terrible when you can just run up to Jason Todd and end the fight in a little over a minute.
they both got their pros and cons arkham city may have better boss fights but the story is easily the weakest of all 4 games ,arkham knight has a better story but awful boss fights.
Wise Green Wanderer wtf ? Arkham City has the weakest story? Arkham Knights was better? They literally just ripped off the red hood storyline. I hope ur not being serious with that comment because city has an amazing story.
Slade has my favorite and my least favorite boss fights
Juan Pedro relatable.

@@DegenerateJay i know
I thought you were bouta include the origins death stroke fight with the thumbnail
Imagine the comments
Same i nearly shat myself
Same, one of the best boss battles I’ve ever played
Could you imagine what the Deathstroke boss fight in Knight could've been if it was hand-to-hand, and if Rocksteady took advantage of the game's combat, which is the most refined of the series? It would've been insanely great!
Jay: We need some bad batman bosses.
Arkam Knight: Now this looks like a job for me.
There is nothing scarier than whenever you are one hit away from death and the arkham knight's tank comes zooming around the corner
Arkham ORIGINS'S Deathstroke fight was done prettyvwell.
It’s a masterpiece
Don't forget bane and
Eletrecutioner
That Deathstroke boss was the best in the whole series.
@@jemsielvelazque8409 couldn’t beat that guy
my favorite on the series, second mechanically only to the mr freeze fight in my opinion
When I saw the thumbnail I was all “Deathstroke worst boss fight?? No way!”
But then I remembered Arkham Knight. I literally forgot he was in the game
The Deathstroke fight was the most fun! Once you learn his moves, whooping his ass becomes so much easier.
They’re talkin about deathstroke from arkham knight, not origins
@@zesty6006 He's talkin about deathstroke from arkham origins, not knight
@@toddtaylor8368 We know but Christopher's comment had nothing to do with the video. The deathstroke fight in this game was the terrible tank one.
I beat him first try hard mode hitless. I play fighting games alot
@@toddtaylor8368 no he isnt bro he already put Origins Deathstroke in top 5 best
My favorite discussion lol .
Joker Boss fight (Arkham Asylum) To robotic and he kept jumping away from you even thought he was bigger and stronger
Deathstroke (Arkham Knight) It was just a copy and paste of the Arkham Knight Cloud Burst tank chase
Arkham Knight (Arkham Knight) Running from him in a giant drill and no hand to hand.
Hush (Arkham Knight) All that build up in City and we get one button counter move ?
Fire Fly ( Arkham Knight) Just chase him around the city and eject . Wash ...Rinse ...And repeat.
And a bonus ....Two Face in Both Arkham City and Arkham Knight
Arkham Knight two face was pretty fun.
@@AwesomeMooseSmile Only fun I had with him in Ak was shocking him over and over again for 5mins , then freezing and unfreezing him for an additional 8 mins before knocking him out and taking him to GCPD lol
Mrthenekin it was a disappointment
But I found AK’s in the drill kind of fun
I was thinking that after the tank battle with DeathStroke they would have a "hand to hand" section, and then I see Slade lunging at BatMan... I was like "oh yeah" and then "wait what?"!
So was I! I almost refunded the game after that.
Those tank battles give me anxiety. They never end!
I've played this game a few times. When I fight the cloudburst tank, I unload like crazy on the core. Makes it faster to beat. Just drive backwards, then use the cannon and hold down the machine gun button. Using both also cheeses that battle.
Manny Zozaya lmao it’s all good, that battle needs to be cheesed
When i first fought Jason in the cobra i was terrified lol
That joker one was so fun- even if it didn’t fit him. Punching those criminals into the electric walls was hilarious
Never played "Knight" but the Scarecrow chasing and beating him up easily strongly reminds me of Spider-Man PS4 when you do the exact same thing to Shocker. But, Shocker had a badass boss battle!
I thought the Arkham Knight Deathstroke fight was going to transition to a fist fight, since the Deathstroke tank basically camped around this little archway into a sewer, and I thought once you beat the tank, he would eject and you would fight him on top of that arch
How is Arkham knight sniping position “boss fight not on here” that was incredibly lame and dumb
Jacob Harder because there were worst
Yeah and everybody talks about how overused the batmobile tank battles were but no one talks about how overused turrets were
@@eatmytoeb9727 stfu best arkham game the fight were too good
@@King_3398 cap😂
As someone who liked the batmobile, I think it's inexcusable to make any boss battle in the batmobile
This was a Idea me and my Friend came up with in Arkham Knight Around the time the game came out It would’ve been better if like what you said the Deathstroke Boss fight should have been Nightwing And Batman vs Slade and Rose Wilson or Deathstokes son
It would have made no sense story wise to include rose or Slade's son because they havent introduced them before and for people unfamiliar with the comics they really wouldn't know who they are.
The Protagonist I get what you mean by Story sense but with them not being in any of the games I mean there a lot of people in Knight Who haven’t been in Arkham series like Deacon Blackfire Professor pig like all they would have to do is give a Character profile like The orders I have mentioned With the story part just Throw in a few Lines from Batman or Nightwing about them and I know Slade works alone I’ll just make the Excuse that the last time he was in Gotham he got he’s ass Kicked by Batman so 2 is better than 1 Or even if it was just Batman and Nightwing vs Slade like there would have been so many funny One Lines from Nightwing Letting us know the player that Slade and Nightwing know each other
I just wanted a hand to hand combat fight with death stroke again
- Gooch me to man
Adam X78 I mean, they could just do it as I sort of dlc if they REALLY wanted, or like one of those AR challenged or whatever it’s called 🤷🏻♂️
Dude, the best boss fight is when you fight Shiva in Origins’ story mode. There’s so much on the line!
No not really,she's just a reskin of the amrtial artist enemy type with one or two moves extra.But the stroy behind it is interesting.
@@soulofconflict I can’t remember why I wrote this, but I think I was being sarcastic
The Joker Boss Battle in Arkham Asylum is so underrated!
I'd love to see a video from you two in which you re-write Knight. From story, gameplay changes, boss fights etc. Would be interesting to watch
I wouldn't change anything about the gameplay at all
IMO, with a lot of the side missions in Knight, Rocksteady just said "Fuck it" and got lazy.
Imagine if Deathstroke joined Scarecrow and the Arkham Knight from the beginning, and was integrated into the story as a way to keep challenging Batman, and then have his tank battle happen as a sort of set-up for the Arkham Knight's tank much later on. Later, have him lead the GCPD assault, and then instead of fighting his forces on the roof, you fight Slade in a hand-to-hand battle. That would be awesome.
Have the fight against Deathstroke even be a Batman and Nightwing team up fight. It's a shame that mechanic was never used for an actual boss fight and the Slade one makes perfect sense.
The Mad Queen what about the fight with the Goliath ? 🧐
@@Joibuzzr1 Ah, forgot about that one. Yeah I guess it was fine, but it was pretty basic imo.
A fight with a proper martial artist like Deathstroke or a beast like Killer Croc would have been really cool though.
The Mad Queen I’m totally kidding. That fight was cheeks
you know knight bosses are bad when electrocutioner isn‘t even in anyones top 5 but instead all these knight ''bosses‘‘.
Electrocutioner wasn't really a boss battle
I would put in Man-bat
All you do is find him and glide on top of him into a cutscene. Could of been like the man-bat Btas episode where Batman grapples around man-bats leg and has to dodge obstacles that man-bat flys past.
True I mean is it even a boss fight it's seriously hard to tell.
Personally I wouldn't count it as a boss fight. I love man bat and was really hoping for a punch up, I didn't hate the mission but I was sad it was just jump on him 3 times. I'd have preferred if they mixed it up the second and third times (this actually applies to the Firefly chase too. If they'd just mixed it up in the 2nd and 3rd runs it would have been less tedious) and had you have like a punch up in the air I'd have enjoyed that more.
But the real reason I comment is to say, I love that Batman the animated series can be shortened to Btas. I thought you'd misspelled bats at first.
Degenerate Jay I remember this one person on CZcams. Forgot his name but he suggested an amazing idea for the Man-Bat boss-fight. You glide and jump on him but he senses it ( bats have better auditory capabilities) and throws you into a building. In the process, he rips your cape so you can’t fly away. You get into a stealth mission, and you have to activate specific lights to blind Kirk when he’s searching for you. When he’s blinded, you inject him and this repeats for 3 times. The last time, he counters the attack and throws you away. You have to block all projectiles he throws at you along with a loud scream. You get to him, inject and knockout punch.
Robinbat Palpatine that would have been pretty cool...
I’m still stuck on the electrocutioner boss fight I NEED STRATEGIES’ IT’S JUST TOO HARD!
Dude he is one hit your so bad
@@toxicrenagade971 It was a joke.
@@toxicrenagade971 it's a joke dumbass
I absolutely loved knight, but I do agree that it can get really repetitive with the tank battles
Let’s be honest, every single Arkham Knight Boss fight was absolutely atrocious.
Killer Croc was actually pretty good (too bad it was DLC)
Arkham knight boss fight was pretty good
Proffesor pyg?
Professor Pyg was wasn’t that bad and if you include Man Bat he I really liked his battle
The riddler fight was good
Another thing wrong with the firefly fight is that he stayed at ground level. Seriously, *HE CAN FLY* but he stays low enough for Batman to chase him in the Bat-Tank as opposed to gliding and zip-lining. Batman could have set up traps for him like shorting out his wings, using some crying grenades (I can’t remember if those were in Arkham Knight though). Maybe they could have had Batman tether him to the ground, or fight him while he was in the air and flying though buildings
The Arkham Knight and Deathstroke after tanks were introduced: *COBRA TANK! Oh, you got him? COBRA TANKS!!!*
Before watching, I bet the majority of these, if not all of them are gonna be from Arkham Knight
EDIT: Yepppp, that game seriously dropped the ball on boss fights
Though I'd include Bane's boss fight from Arkham Asylum since it was just a copy/paste of all the Titan boss fights throughout the game
@AnEn Rocksteady dropped the ball so hard with Bane, it's like they forgot that he's a genius on par with Batman, and not just a big dude on steroids
The hand to hand combat was fun but the boss fights were horrible
@AnEn I'm not gonna lie, I thought you called the show bad for a second and I was about to say some stuff.
@AnEn yeah, I like their Killer Croc tho.
Makes me happy to see no Arkham Origins bosses on this list. Just gives me the impression that Rocksteady doesn’t know how to do a good boss fight. Striking lucky gold once with Mr. Freeze in City being their peak.
The Ra's Al Ghul fight in City was fun too
@@Modernww2fare yea I forgot about that one. That’s not bad either. And Clayface as well. And maybe Grundy. Ok, so maybe a few bosses in City weren’t awful. But there are still a lot that were throughout their history. Add in the Suicide Squad bosses and well…
The way you can beat the Cloudburst Tank fight quickly is just do what Kwing did and just fire your machine guns at the weak spot!!! That moment in his playthrough was so funny and satisfying at the same time!
I think I shit myself when I saw death stroke as the thumbnail for

1. Titan Joker
2. Hush (Knight)
3. Deadshot (City)
4. Bane (Asylum)
5. Deathstroke (Knight)
I enjoyed firefly. I thought the visuals of chasing him throughout Gotham city as well as the voice acting and music was insanely entertaining.
God, Knight was such a disappointment.
The worst fight was the electricutioner! Surprised that didn’t make the list.
Its supposed to be tho 🙃😂
Well it’s not trying to be an amazing boss fight and it doesn’t really count as a boss fight to me
It was just WB making a joke.
I liked the cobra fights because of the stealth element with the battank, but yeah for the arkham knight AND deathstroke bossfights to just be against the cobras pissed me off
When I saw deathstroke in the thumbnail I thought you were going to talk about the fight in Origins and I was about to fight everyone 😂
Well to be fair Joker isnt a brilliant combat strategist so his titan boss fight really captures his personality.
My least favorite hands down was Arkham Knight/red hood. After reading the under the red hood comic or watching the animated film and seeing how formidable Jason actually was with hand to hand combat this fight really let me down, it boils down to hide and get under a gargoyle and grapple up to where he is. By far my least favorite
The first game was well-received
The second game was just as revered, but had a slightly different atmosphere and introduces an open-world.
The prequel game was mostly mixed.
The third game added in unnecessary vehicle sequences.
What is this, Banjo-Kazooie?
Temporary Titan Joker made so much sense for the storyline of Arkham Asylum and was a BADASS design! Of course he was gonna keep “posing” for the cameras to show off - he’s all about theatrics and showmanship.
First view
For arkahm knights deathstroke fight they could've kept most of the tank fight if absolutely necessary but maybe instead of him willingly going inside gcpd maybe he could've gotten out of his restraints somehow and you had to hand to hand fight him like in other games . That could've satisfied fans and they would've been able to keep their tank part. Just my 2 cents though.
I think an interesting one to talk about would be Two-Face or Harley Quinn from Arkham City/Harley Quinn's Revenge. I still remember the first time I fought both of them, and I remember absolutely hating them. For one, they're exactly the same, just one as Catwoman and the other as Robin. There's just a bunch of henchmen that constantly respawn, and Dent and Quinn just go to random points and shoot rockets for no reason. I feel like playing as Batman would have made these encounters much better. A) Because Catwoman Predator sections are the hardest thing in Arkham City. And B) Because Harley could have been more unique than a direct copy of Two-Face.
As another one, after just replaying Arkham Origins, can we talk about Shiva? By god this fight was horrible! She had a lot of buildup, especially with her mission before the fight, but it was all wasted. For one, it's just a copy of Ras' al Goul's fight from City but without any of the epic scale or unique setting. You literally fight the same ninjas from City, right down to the same voices and nearly models. And Shiva herself doesn't pose a threat like Deathstroke, as she just fights the same as the ninjas. Big letdown for a pretty decent buildup.
My favorite battle is the clayface fight in city. And even if I don't like titan joker, I get why they did it. Rocksteady slowly improved their battles, learning from their mistakes, and that was their first test, they tried to make him look cool, be menacing. As I said my favorite battle is vs clayface , but my favorite joker fight is from knight, you can see that they finally hit the jackpot of how to make a joker fight , instead of a physical brawl, a mental showdown. It isn't hard, but it completely fits the character.
I actually found the Cloudburst too overpowered. Not only the firepower of the Cobra tank, but he chases you down right after. And you have to clear 8 other tanks first. It’s just too much hassle with no recharge for later stages. So the first time I did it, I got stuck on it for a week and cursed the car’s lack of flexibility. They talked up how agile the new suit was going to be, then put you in a station wagon.
Fireflies boss fight in AK was literally just the Apc side missions but with slightly less buttons used.
Firefly in Knight. Firefly “ You beaten me once but that was a long time ago”. Batman “ Get in the trunk of my tank”.
7:22 it's just the same as the one You play to stop the cloud burst but with no jokers and no fear toxic
Tip for Deathstroke, use max level missile barrage after taking out the Cobra, one hit KO
Some boss fights are so bad that people memorize it of how bad they are
In Arkham City, I thought deadshot would have an actual boss battle, but it’s just you sneaking up to him and pressing a single button. I thought after all the build up he’d have a decent boss fight but no.
Something in Arkham knight about deathstroke boss is that he keeps on taunting you the whole mission and fight
It's like with the deathstroke tank battle, somebody saw LEGO making cars for every superhero/villain in everything and said "Give me THAT!!!"
Electrocution had to be the worst Bossfight ever in Batman Arkham games because all you do is kick him and that’s it there’s nothing else
When I saw the thumbnail, I thought it was gonna be Deathstroke from Arkham Origins and not knight lol
Same, I was triggered.
Yeah, Arkham Asylum has a different feel to it, the boss fights were more old school (wait for quick time events) That’s because it was self aware, and it never forgot it was a video game. The boss fights were all video game style and never cinematic movie style.
Deathstroke in AK : “ The man i fought didn’t hide in a tank “
Also Deathstroke : * Tank battle *
Me: sees deathstroke from Arkham Origins on the thumb nail. How dare You!!!
Jay: Deathstoke from Arkham Knight
Me: Thank god
I’m honestly surprised that the joker fight wasn’t one or two cause it was here fight my goon something you’ve done all game and the pull me down punch me and dodge away.
The arkham knight cloud burst is such a hard and creepy boss battle when I destroy one core my hands freaking shake
Meanwhile, I regard the Deathstroke tank battle to be much worse than the Cloudburst tank battle for several reasons, all in Knight's favor: The Cloudburst battle has lots of context, before and after. The Deathstroke battle breaks what little context it has by building up references (thin as those are, and as implausible that Deathstroke has avoided Gotham for 10 years). Whereas the Cloudburst battle is integrally part of the story, set in a visually striking situation, and can be considered to be part of a (somewhat extended) multi-stage boss fight with different types of stages.
Also, the Cloudburst battle at least provided a version of the Cobra tank hunt that hadn't been done yet in the game. The Deathstroke battle is practically a copy-paste, with even the same defeat animation (just switching out Deathstroke's model for the Knight's). It was easy to do as a last-minute addition, no doubt, and it's clearly a rushed fix for a pacing hole (so to speak). The Cloudburst fight (or the Ivy finale perhaps) should have been the last major tank battle.
I guess i am the only who didnt get tired of the batmobile(this doesnt mean i didnt get disappointed by the Deathstroke battle)
I have played all the Batman Arkham games and i agree with everything
15 tried later and I’ve finally bested the electrocutioner
3:16
Titan was supposed to make him buff, not a fucking giant
Holy shit i just noticed the size difference
I was thinking " Why didn't they put Scarecrow from Knight, I mean he is the big bad in the game"
Then I remember it didn't had one :v
Even the bane fight in orgins was hard then the joker titan fight, which is sad because the joker infected with titan was bigger, stronger, and faster but it was good for what it was
The last fight against Scarecrow were one of the best boss fights when u beat the fear gas and joker fears and that's just amazing
If the cloud burst tank isn't number one this list has made a serious error
When I saw the thumbnail I thought you meant the origins death stroke boss battle, thankfully I was wrong
I couldn't find many good pictures of deathstroke from either game in a high quality.
Tv Tropes has an explanation for why the Deathstroke fight is the way it is by explaining that in the ten years Batman has improved himself and is more then prepared to take down Deathstroke again. But while I understand that I also kind of hate that because it means that Deathstroke didn't bother improving his skills to take on Batman in a rematch even though the Knight should have told Deathstroke about how much Batman has changed. I played through Knight on new game plus and when I finally got to the fight with Deathstroke it took me less then five minutes to beat him thanks to using the cobra tank hack upgrade. You know what would have been better have Batman figure out where Scarecrow was hiding out, then going to the Asylum and when he encounters Scarecrow. Batman's about to take him down but right before he can punch him out, in comes Deathstroke with an ambush similar to his fight in Origins only they wind up (somehow) in the area where you fought Bane in the original. The two characters would then slug it out with each character using their new gear and armor to slug it out for superiority (while the Joker hallucination provides commentary) one more time with Batman barely winning. This would leave Batman weak enough for Scarecrow to ambush him with his new toxin but finally giving Batman a chance to expose his Joker persona to the gas getting rid of him once and for all.
for me the best boss fights were in origins, especially deathstroke and the final bane boss one
