What did you think of the list? Would you change anything? Let us know down below!
I ain't played the game in like 6 years but yeah It was pretty solid.
With how good the videos are I thought you would have more subscribers. I'll sub
@@rushpatriot2866 Thanks so much! Did you check out the other Arkham videos?
@@Cytonox I ended up working a little after that but I'll listen to them when I fall asleep. I usually listen to youtube when I go to sleep.
@@Cytonox you'll have to make a new ranking with the gotham knights coming up
Worst: Deathstroke in a Tank
Best: Deathstroke on a Boat
(Jack here) Deathstroke in RV Camper❓
When's deathstroke on a plane that was about to crash on the twin towers
@@Grass_Slayer shit
@@Grass_Slayer not funny
@@batmanarkhamclips the likes his comment has says otherwise.
Deathstroke could have been the final boss of the game
In terms of intensity, 100%, but in terms of story, it wouldn’t work out I think. Having Joker as the main antagonist and him leading the Blackgate jailbreak which leads to the whole showdown with Bane was pretty necessary to develop Joker and Batman’s background whereas Deathstroke’s just kind of a neutral vigiliante if that makes sense.
@@Cytonox then how about I change the story a bit of my au if that’s fine with you?
(Which I’m currently doing on in my deviantart, thinking about some ideas)
@@pogggaming4470 go for it bro! Send it to us on Discord when you finish, our tag’s in the description of every video. Good luck👍
I just wish they wouldn't have put him so early in the game
They could’ve had him in. 2 fights like one in the area and then one after u leave the boat. I think they could’ve slides the trailer in after the boat and then made u have a fight after dead shot shoots the chain
The boss fights in this game is what we needed in knight…for the most part…
it was very disappointing going from the best this game has to offer to the… “bosses” thrown up in knight
@@Cytonox absolutely, especially the miserable way they treated some of the better villains
Red Hood’s arc was malevolent
I still think electrocutioner was harder than arkham knight's boss battles together
damn straight
Better? Probably. Harder?
*Flashbacks to Cloudburst fight*
I had trouble sleeping because of this. I hear him taunting me every time.
@@bluehotsaiyan5955 same 😂
The aesthetic of the Mr. Freeze's fight > the actual fight. I have never seen that rage inducing battle so artistically summarized, made the wound all better 👌
Thanks man! And 100%, the design and visuals are fantastic but the actual fight is little more than downright insulting
Mr Freeze is EXTREMELY overrated bro.
Repetitive fight, repetitive animation, no cool choreography. It's just ultimately a glorified Jason Todd boss fight. The fight would've been significantly better with some goons around, so you would've had an added pressure of staying out of sight while thinking of ways to attack Freeze.
I've never had such a problem with the Freeze fight for the 4-5 times I've replayed this game. Also, the icicles aren't the only option to damage him. That whole DLC is the best in the series
The Deathstroke fight will always have a special place in my heart. I expected an easy boss and was rewarded with lessons in humility and getting your ass kicked 201-1001. I take pride in the fact that I was able to do it perfectly once.
I was legit laughing at how mad you were at the Mr Freeze fight 😂
It's pretty good fight too? He should know you can't only use the icicles
had WB Montreal been given more time to develop Arkham Origins, it would've easily become the New Vegas of the Arkham saga
The worst game in the franchise?
In the 12 spot for some reason I thought we were talking about Arkham city and seeing me freeze in 12 I was about to jump off a bridge
Oh yeah that'd be nuts lol. We both love his fight in City which is part of why his fight was so disappointing here.
@@Cytonox I loved how you describe the origins Freeze boss
@@brewmaster2912 Jack here and thanks so much for the complement and for watching! I think my rage and anger was pretty fair as well, it’s an awful boss fight.
@@brewmaster2912 Have you checked out our other Arkham boss rankings?
@@Cytonox yep
4:57 I will pay with my life to watch a one hour version of this clip
you lost me when you started dissing the mr freeze origin, that is a great and iconic story and mr freeze would not be the same without it
I wish they added Batman Arkham Origins on Playstation 4 and 5.
Agreed, luckily I bought it off Amazon for like a dollar and a half for an Xbox 360 disc version (which unlike Asylum and City's 360 discs don't run on Xbox One.) Hopefully the Arkham series gets one final game someday.
Same
Imagine a fight like that in Knight with Deathstroke.
Great video. Recently finished Origins and was curious what other people thought about the bosses. Imo the best in the series (besides Mr. Freeze in Arkham City).
Thats pretty much our take on the bosses also, glad ya liked the video!
@Carbonated soda Jack here, and yeah, nostaliga bias definitely helps a game here and there. Personally, I played Origins last of the four and I actually think City has better bosses to each their own so very understandable take.
@@Cytonox I think that City has some cool bosses, but collectively, there isn’t a ton to write home about. We all know Deadshot sucks, Mad Hatter isn’t much better, and despite being the best combat sequence in the game, Joker is just that: a combat sequence. Solomon Grundy is pretty good, but quick firing explosive gel feels super clunky in every game but Knight, so having that be the mechanic drags the fight down a bit. Clayface is pretty good, but sometimes his AI is far too predictable, and fighting him once you notice that makes it feel less like a fight and more like a scripted sequence. The second phase is just normal combat but with a sword and the occasional pop up of Clayface. Mr. Freeze is pretty much universally agreed to be the best boss in the series, so I won’t waste any time there. Ra’s al Ghul is mostly just basic combat but with ninjas and then dodging some very easily telegraphed moves. It’s pretty good though.
Origins has a handful of not good bosses too. Most notably (or most unremarkable, rather) Bird, Anarky, and Black Mask, who are all just basic thugs joining a fight with their boys. But in terms of the rest, we’ve got a pretty solid selection. Killer Croc is serviceable as a tutorial boss, not much else to say. Shiva is also not very good, but I separated her from the other thug fights since she at least uses rarely encountered enemies like sword ninjas. Pretty much a watered down Ra’s al Ghul. Copperhead isn’t super hard on your first play through, but she actually becomes one of the harder bosses on NG+ and IATN because her animations are so vastly different from any other enemy. You have to be careful since you can’t easily tell whether you need to counter, blade dodge, or evade. Other than that, she’s not too great, but again, she’s serviceable. Past this group though, the rest are almost all excellent or at least very good. Firefly is great for both the spectacle and the actual fight. Bane on the rooftop is a pretty good fight, but TN-1 Bane is probably the closest the series has ever gotten to horror as the clock is ticking and he slowly whittles down your resources. A true successor to Mr. Freeze. Deadshot is also a very unique predator encounter with his ability to scope off walls, and would be the best predator fight if Freeze and Bane didn’t exist. And then there’s Deathstroke, the best combat boss in the series. Overall, I’d say Origins has the better roster of bosses, with City following it closely, with Asylum trailing far behind and Knight just… sort of existing.
I think deathstroke deserves to be number 1. I even remember when he was just pain for me, when i defeated him for the first time i was so freaking happy and TN-1 bane deserves a number 2 in my opinion as well.
Jack here, and yeah for sure, Deathstroke is definitely the best boss in the game. TN-1 Bane had a thrilling atmosphere and exceptional gameplay in my opinion, glad we share similar opinions on Origins too!
@@Cytonox yeah same!
TN-1 Bane hit different. Especially going into that fight for the first time with no knowledge. Bro I freaked out when my detective vision got jammed and Alfred told me how screwed I am if Bane gets me. (I tried to disrupt the jammer... did not end well...)
Jack here, it’s all around suspense and I love it. On revisit it’s not as exhilarating but man was that first fight hectic.
12 mr Freeze
11 Bird
10 black Mask
9 Killer croc
8 Shiva
7 deadshot
6 Anarky
5 copperhead
4 bane
3 tn-1 bane
2 Firefly
1 Slade Wilson
And I take electro cutioner is 0 cause his was so good it was off the chart!
just returned to the game after like 4 years and can’t wait to get into a fresh story mode. just wanted a refresh off the bosses and you were hilarious lol, thanks for the nostalgia and the laughs, can’t wait to shit myself with a tn-1 bane running up my bum, you’ve earned yourself a sub my friend :)
Jack here, wow! Thanks a lot bro, and yeah enjoy it! I actually got all the Arkham games through a trilogy collection and I remember the excitement I got both saucing Origins off Amazon for $1.75 and also just playing the game for the first time. It’s such a great game and ranking its bosses were fun. Thanks for the sub man, not to mention thank you for both watching and enjoying the video. Did you check out our other Arkham rankings?
I disagree with the Freeze ending cutscene being bad. I thought it was perfect. Batman saves Nora before doing anything else after knocking out Boyle. It shows how much he cares and how much he both sympathizes and respects Freeze.
Take a seat humanitarian!
@@SunshineStateCoastersI'm sorry Victor. I can't give you hope. But I can give you justice.
Bruh, Electrocutioner was so hard it should have been Number 1. It took me 5 months to find out you need to rapidly press alt + f4 to beat him on PC.
I love this game so much. The overall feel of it is something that I adore. I love Batman stories that are set around the holiday and it’s something I wish more Batman media did. Also, the music score is fucking AWESOME!!!!
I lost all hope when freeze was 12th. It’s an amazing dlc and fight
Bit of a hot take: City in my eyes has better bosses than Origins. Solomon Grundy, Ras Al Ghul, Mr. Freeze, and Clayface felt like Zelda bosses where certain gadgets worked against them. Origins had bosses like Firefly, Bane 1&2, and Deathstroke which are all amazing. Copperhead, Freeze, and Croc were meh. Electrocutioner was just a joke. Deadshot is an improvement from Two-Face and Harley Quinn from City. Shiva, Anarchy, and Bird were just mundane fistfights. Black mask was just a normal thug.
Jack here, and looking back, I totally agree! City had inspiration and originality going for it while Origins had too much repeated action and minimal intensity/action quality. Great take!
Alex here, unrelated to the comment but I love Fawful and hope to cover the Mario and Luigi games sometime so if that's up your alley stay tuned
@@Cytonox dude city boss fights minus freeze we’re literally just use the gadgets. Ras was use the electro gun, clay was run in circles and spam the ice grenade. Solomon was literally quick fire the explosive gell what’s the fun in that???
@@VTObi4z I didn't really like grundy fight and it's coming from a person who grew up with city first and thinks city is number 1 arkham game but the reason why I didn't really like it is because it's so easy and was never challenging. The rest I actually had fun and enjoyed alot
last place: Mr Freeze
Me, who's broke and can't buy the dlc: I'm saved. Thank God
a blessing in disguise
the dlc is still good tho
@@tinygrub1194 it’s alright, pales in comparison the Knight’s dlc in my opinion. I think just Origins in general is a bit slow and the dlc’s story was a half-ass ripoff of Mr. Freeze’s story from Batman Animated Series.-Jack
Love the vid man. Keep it up!
Jack here, thanks bro! You watch our other Arkham rankings?
Batman actually finds out about Black Mask's pacemaker at the Steel Mill Computer.
Also for the Deathstroke achievement you can just spam the Batclaw. The fight kinda loses its charm once you find out you can just spam him with the batclaw and he can't retaliate.
I personally prefer fighting him normally but as I learned later, yeah the Bat-Claw breaks Deathstroke.
@@Cytonox I found that out because I saw Batman do it in the trailer so I figured it would work
Hey mate this is only my second vid of ur I watched and I can tell ur gonna be great
Thanks man! I think our newer videos have finally made it to the objectively good quality territory, I’d recommend those if you haven’t seen ‘em - Jack
@@Cytonox will do I hope u have a great day
My list (also I haven’t done all bosses because I’m bad at this game)
this is just my opinion, don’t get mad, also I count the brutes as mini bosses
1: Bane
2: Deathstroke
3: Mr. Freeze (please don’t hate me)
4: Killer Croc
5: Firefly
6: Mad Hatter
7: Brute
8: Electrocutioner
9: Copperhead
I disagree with the freez fight. I never had him bug on my game but maybe I was just lucky. Phase 1 is annoying but once I realized that I can just rush the generators while ignoring everything else it became trivial. In phase 2 I am pretty sure you are supposed to use the ice to take out the goons and use the walls and remaining vents for takedowns. Those takedowns actually do decent damage to him and the fight ends much quicker. Definitely not the best fight in the game but I don’t think it is that bad.
1:31
Summons up this one boss fight I did for the first time
That Deathstroke trophy is the one I’m most proud of having of all of the trophies I’ve ever earned.
Shiva had an even better (and much harder) boss in the Initiation DLC.
She's a ninja and martial artist BUT ALSO armoured.
Not only that but despite difficulty she will never have a counter indicator.
Pair this with difficult enemies she is by far the hardest boss in the series
yo bro Armong said that he loved the video stay rocking my guy
No higher praise than than that of Armong
The ranking seems fair
Fantastic Bosses Overall, Best of the Series ( except for Mr Freeze in City)
How the hell do you only have 700 subs
we’re growing 🤙
Joker should be on here, just punching him 100 times
perhaps in a remastered ranking... potentially coming someday in the relatively near future
Or punched by him 100 times u still win 😂 even if u don’t dodge most of his attacks u just gotta dodge a few. The game will force some of ur hits.
I give Deadshot extra points for being such a massive improvement over his city counterpart
ive seen someone put the mr freeze from this game on there top 3 out of every boss from every game
shocking that
@@Cytonox i know right
My Ranking:
Shiva
Bird
Copperhead
Killer Croc
Deadshot
Mr. Freeze
Firefly
Deathstroke
Bane
Let's face it though, the electrocutioner boss fight is actually the best in the whole series.
no doubt
Wait, achievement that entails a perfect fight with Deathstroke? I should’ve looked into this before committing to achievement hunting
Yeah bro. I (Jack) don’t know if there are any specifics (i.e. NG+ or I Am The Night only, or even Hard, Normal, or Easy) but I know for a fact that there is an achievement unlocked for a perfect fight with Deathstroke. Honestly it’s not too bad on Normal and I almost did it as I said in the video, the real pain is the challenge map medals. Screw those yo. And in Origins just overall the multiplayer is dead so a good chunk of achievements are impossible anyways. Good luck on your journey though!
@@Cytonox thanks man, keep up the good work 👍🏽
same to you, good luck!
300th sub, enjoy Cytonox!
Jack here, cheers brotha! Thanks for this milestone, sincerely. We appreciate our subscribers and congrats on being 300!
@@Cytonox and in the 10 months I was inactive you manage to get 7.5k subs! Well done!
We’re on the up!
Why is youe gameplay’s controller layout is using switch controller??
Electrocutioner has to be the hardest boss out of any video game ive ever played, makes ghosts and goblins look like childs play
The design process behind Ghosts and Goblins was hilarious. They’d have someone play it, and then use that feedback to decide where to put new bs obstacles and stuff to mess with people. It was literally designed to be frustrating lol
-Alex
I think I'm starting to appreciate not getting the cold cold heart dlc for Arkham origins cause that boss fight with mr freeze looks so unfair and cruel to the player.
Nah, honestly neither freeze phase is hard, a little annoying having to dodge the ice-ray in the first phase but the second phase is quite reminiscent of the fight i city. If you only use one method of attacking him, instead of a mix between all of them, then I can understand not liking it, but it's kinda a user error then. Also the story makes sense if you pay attention to what people say :)
Funny is that the banes super sane charge can be the easyest think to dodge
Just keep runnin to the side lol
Misses you by an inch
I think that the Mr. Freeze boss fight isn't the best but Cold, Cold Heart is an amazing DLC and all of the bosses except for a few in the main story were great.
Hey, the Cold Heart DLC is great.
Lol Mr. Freeze has both the worst and best boss fights in the series lol
The best bosses in the series AND the one of the best boss lineups in all of gaming.
Will you play returnal? I think that you will like the Hyperion fight, it's perfect
Maybe eventually, I’m literally broke and can’t buy new games atm so I won’t be picking up anything new for a bit
Bro Deathstroke took me forever to do
damn,when i was younger,i died 9 times to slade and won with little health left lol. defenetely the best boss fight
Have you even try to make different takedowns on mr. freeze ? Guess what yes you can make those fun takedowns, research on CZcams all takedowns on mr. freeze in Arkham origins dlc you’ll be surprised about it.
I once beat Deathstroke, Lady Shiva, and T-N1 Bane without getting hit
I got that achievment for deathstroke by accident 😅
How did you put electricutioner so low? It took me years to beat him but one day I got Lucky and beat him in one hit.
Mr freeze was a top 5 boss fight, and electrocutioner had a better fight then shiva, change my mind
I can’t say for certain about the boss, but I heard that the freeze dlc is actually really good
I’m not entirely sure since I never played it, but I heard it’s one of the best dlcs in Arkham, alongside Harley Quinn’s revenge. So seeing it in last really confused me. Conflicting points I guess
Also, bugginess in the fight might have been because origins overall was VERY unfinished
I never played, so I guess I can’t really speak for myself
Deathstroke fr got nerfed into arkham knight
You can go behind him to take him down just like Arkham city
I was stuck on deathstroke for years. I played on will u and I never beat him
Personal fav game of the series
This list is fake news, we all know how hard the electrocutioner boss fight was, put all our combat and predator skills to the test and this vid edits it all out.
😂
TN-1 bane is my favourite fight
Man I love bane in this game and yea I love arkham orgins to but couldn't play it didn't came to ps4
I think the PS3 disc version works, and yeah also TN-1 Bane kicks ass.
Yea it does right now I'm using ps now but I was thinking of getting an xbox 360 first but in my country it's big price so I got a ps4 but not all games work like arkham orgins I feel like when I get it ill keep it on top list and the last boss fight was nice when ur enemy is bane as a titan it's like he gained more size but it feels like he's the same size of arkham aslyum but he's better now he has classic outfit same for the others bane would be insane but I'm confused when you fight the boss it's like he's there 4 times I tought they could add diffrent bosses in some of the parts but bane was there 4 times a little bit a bummer but he was a great boss fight
And while ur fighting killer croc and firefly I never saw those buttons on the screen I wonder what did you use?
I play Xbox, so the buttons don’t appear on screen rather it’s Y to counter and X to hit.
Yea I saw 1 controller like that before it looks nice but I am a player who likes to play ps4 controllers but I would love to try 1 of those controllers
Origin treated Deathstroke better than Arkham knight
he had an actual presence
Ya’ll rockin with human rights ⁉️
Ofc not 😏
That's funny since I'm learning about Human Rights for World Studies right now
Icicles are not the only way to hurt freeze
He is the best in Batmans early years but worse when batmans bout to last years he should have upgraded not degraded thats BS
Number 12 is a really good boss what the heck plus it's a really good dlc
4:56 whats this song even called
It’s a beat that a friend of ours made as a joke, it’s not released anywhere
@@Cytonox oh ok thats funny
We all know the electrocutioner is easily the best worst list ever.
Im kidding i love it good job
deathstroke is definitely the top dog in the arkhamverse to hell with batman.
This game has the best bosses imo
Why not include Joker if you’re gonna include Electrocutioner. Or Shiva in the DLC challenge maps?
imo arkham origins has the best bossfights, but city has my favorite one
Our thoughts too, Mr. Freeze is in a league of his own surely.
Deathstroke boss is repetitive
Does Joker really not count in this game?
Well Joker is less the Joker and more the second Bane fight, there’s no distinct fight with the Joker himself rather varying bits of combat.
How was electrocutioner ranked worst? He took me 39477383848 tries 😂 😂 😂 😂
My only gripe with origins is how ugly croc looks. Knight did his design so right . Scary looking and big as hell
yeah, the domey head is a bad look
@@Cytonox I have to say despite the complaints some have for Arkham knight it had the best villian designs in my opinion
Bro I never got to play the dlc
I (Alex) never played it either, but based on what I've heard from Jack you aren't missing out on much. The seasons of infamy dlc for knight was good though, so I'd get that if you're looking for more stuff to do with the Arkham games.
Jack here, you aren't missing a whole lot. It's two hours long and has a couple boring "side missions" where you find anarky tags and unfreeze 20 random citizens. The boss fight stinks and the story is basically an exact replica of "Heart of Ice" (season 1, episode 4 on HBO Max) of Batman: The Animated Series. Heads up the 20 minute episode was better, more engaging, and more enjoyable than the 2 hour DLC, so yeah long story short save your money and get Season of Infamy or something and also thanks for watching!
if you haven't you should definitely play it, probably the best Arkham dlc
The cinematography for the deathstroke fight is amazing but I think the fight overall is very overrated It's fun as hell but it's just filled with quick time events and it just isn't that hard
This game has the best bosses in the series IMO.
wheres the mad hatter fight ????
Not much of a fight, really just a platforming bit.
The commentary feels like you took the voice of Rusty and the inflections of early Demodcracy. Not that that’s a bad thing I just thought it was funny.
I feel like anarky makes up I’m dialogue
Jack here, fair take I just personally think the fight still sucks. Also pretty generic political mumbo jumbo but the voice actor did a solid number
@@Cytonox anarky was criminally underused in the Arkham franchise. He had two references in Arkham night but that’s about it. He definitely should’ve been a bigger part
i think he sorta served his purpose honestly, there’s not really a lot to him other than he’s a radical activist with bombs. In the comics and in the game.
It's 'tetralogy', not 'quadrilogy'. The latter is a mixing of Latin and Greek.
You spelled electrocutioner wrong
deathstroke still is the best boss, its a shame a real shame, becuase arkham knight did him dirty heck arkham knight did the whole arkham series dirty, their wasnt a unique boss fight anywhere, it was so lazy, in the main story, you fight no one, all other bosses you have to grind to fight and they amount to crap, heck the hush boss fight was a bloody cutscene, what happened to doing the main mission and stumbling on the bosses, for example, your just minding your own business in arkham city and then all of a sudden you get thrown down the rabit hole, arkham knight was basically fight this group of enemies, then fight that tank, then rinse and repeat i was so happy when the batmobile was destroyed only to have my soul crushed when not 5 minutes later it respawned.
are you playing on switch???
bru
PS5
I'd put Bane at Number 1
Hate to be that guy. But it’s tetralogy, not quadrilogy.
I knew this from the Zelda games cuz there’s a theory about there being a “Tetraforce”, but for some reason missed this while proofreading with Jack at the time. I think it just sounded right and we figured people would know what we meant so it didn’t see off any alarm bells
-Alex
Electrocutioner boss battle was the best you bunch of liars.😏
Ayo did you just say that the mr freeze dlc sucks? Did you just have an opinion that happens to be different than mine? How dare you have an opinion, I can’t believe this. I’m now going to unsubscribe from this channel I enjoy watching because of this extremely dumb reason.
Bro, wtf was that Spanish
