That ending wow, never thought that Batman would reveal his true identity. There are more endings apparently, can't wait to see them. I
liked the gameplay with Joker :p Walking through the corridors scared the hell out of me though pff x'D - Hry
Just imagine that instead of Bruce Wayne, Batman was just a random dude from Gotham. Scarecrow and the rest of the world would be like: "who the hell are you ?"
Omg I need that
Like in a Justice League Unlimited episode where Lex Luthor accidentally swapped minds with The Flash. He hides in a bathroom in the watch tower, talking to himself in the mirror and goes
"Hm. If nothing else, I can at least learn the Flash's secret identity..."
{takes off mask}
".............. I have no idea who this is."
{puts mask back on}
and looking into the mirror going
"... i have no idea who the hell this is"
Someone write this into a fanfiction, I beg of you
Mono Chaos And I want Batman to go: "My name is [insert here whatever name you want]"
Scarecrow gasps and his eyes open wide:
"..... Never heard of you....."
For all you confused people out there. This is a mental battle between Batman and Joker.
Batman got infected with Jokers mutated blood from the last game and Joker is living inside him, slowly taking over Batman's body. He intends to do what you see happen in this bit, pretty much make Batman and homocidal maniac who kills everybody and sets Gotham alight.
In the sequence that shows Joker killing everybody, you see Joker but it IS Batman, which is why everybody is so shocked that he's killing people. It is Batmans darkest fear, losing himself to Joker. The batmobile is there because when Joker took control, he restyled it and made it into a killing machine.
When we see Joker in the restraints back in the Asylum and Scarecrow taunts him, that means Batman is gone and Joker took over. When Joker then gets injected with the fear toxin, we see HIS worst fear, being forgotten. And Batman uses that to lock Joker away inside his mind and retake control permanently.
It's a very good conclusion to an excellent plotpoint.
Imagine if Scarecrow just stayed his hand without injecting "Joker" with the toxin...he did the opposite of what he wanted to do and saved Gotham xD
thanks
*****
I wish they'd done that, if only for a small portion of the game, to show us what it sounded and looked like.
Exactly! That's tho only thing with this bothering me. Batman gotsaved by chance and Scarecrow loosing patience.
bladske it's not just about the blood taking over him either, batman and the joker have always been two sides of the same coin, two reactions to terrible loss, batman's biggest fear is giving into the jokers brand of madness
It must have been really disturbing to Scarecrow and the viewing public in Gotham to see Batman laughing maniacally like the Joker.
What time is that
+Montesama314 how the hell did scarecrow not notice tha the had transformed intot he joker? You know, like, *THE DISTURBINGLY DRASTIC CHANGE IN APPEARANCE!?!?*
HeavyDonkeyKong Batman didn't literally turn into the Joker. The audience is just seeing the mental shift so we know what's up. What Scarecrow and the people watching Batman's unmasking can see is Batman acting like a nutjob.
Montesama314 ah okay.thnx.
Personally I would have liked if they showed that to the player too. Would have loved to hear Kevin Conroy imitating Joker and laughing maniacally.
I honestly think Jokers biggest fear was not having everyone forget him. It was Batman forgetting him that scared him more than anything.
I wouldn't want anyone to "forger" me either
@@VesperHP Lol my bad
@@SB-xj8xj sorry to be that guy
@@VesperHP It's all good.
He didn't really care about anyone else but Batman, it makes sense for that to be true.
They ought to make a dlc where Joker completely takes over and you play as the Joker, taking everyone down.
This!
good idea there. An ending where you can choose to be the joker in the end. I wonder what will be the story? will he kill scarecrow
they should, Need a spotlight for once.
The batman who laughs game
@@m3rl1on
Except the Joker is fully in control. Because the Batman Who Laughs is actually still Bruce Wayne, but somewhat Jokerized
I love how, even in Joker's worst fears--which was a hallucination-- Harley is still there for him. He's so bad to her, though... Makes me sad she didn't say anything in his trance. :(
If you read this you will die tomorrow deep down inside, the joker truly does love harley, in his own sick, twisted and demented way
@@eonnexus i don't think it's love I think it's obsession
Athif Arif maybe because Harley was one of the people to understand him and he probably liked her for that, that’s prob why he transformed her
@@norr0513 joker likes no one except MAYBE batman, Harley is just a tool that joker is obsessed with, not person, tool
Athif Arif did you play Asylum and read Harley’s bio? It literally says this:
“Dr. Harleen Quinzel was Joker’s therapist until she FELL IN LOVE with him” it’s not obsession.
The scariest part about it is scarcrow had to witness batman laughing like maniac
Had to be intimidating from the scarecrow's perspective
The part with the Batman statues really creeped me out. XD
JK193765 Hahaha, I don't like these moments, I always freak out and it's too intense
MsLaraCroftx Me too. I'm not the best when it comes to horror games. I get panic attacks when I do. 😔
JK193765 lol same here, high five x'D So no Outlast, Dead Space, Evil Within and those kind of games for us
MsLaraCroftx Exactly XD
Speaking of Outlast I've posted an outlast episode in my channel! Anyways yes that part gave me chills, maybe due to the atmosphere!
I wish they made a game where you actually played as The Joker the whole time, it would be so much fun!
Probably rated R
Well, there is a DLC In Arkham asylum where you play as joker
Joker theft auto GTA in gotham city and you can make alliances with other villains
JOKER: Arkham Mayhem
dochmbi that would be so fun😩
I finish the game but playing as the joker scared the hell out of me
Me too lol
WTF Its Batman no P.T or until Dawn??!
Seaby Doggo im want too im want batman game that can choose hero mode or villain mode i will choose villain mode and as joker or any villain other too
OH HAHAHAHA YOUR WEAK I LOVED PLAYING HIM AHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh I mean ya totally
True
I just love how Joker says "good" xD
Emperor Joker
I'v just learned a terrible truth. I think mark hamill is a sith lord
@@parsaazizi7632 A Sith Lord?!
Mark basically got to play an older version of what Luke Skywalker would have become if Sidious had corrupted him completely.
Makes sense considering that this game is practically like the Arkham series’ Return of the Jedi
@@cashthecurator666 yes the one we've been looking for
Did anyone else also think that the Joker's rampage was at first actually the Joker-possessed Batman attacking Scarecrow, Gordon and Robin; with the pleading Penguin being the wounded and crawling Robin, the shocked and desperate Riddler being an equally shocked and desperate Scarecrow who's being horrified by what he just unleashed, and Two-Face being Gordon trying to stop the now obvious murderous Batman from unleashing his wrath at Gotham itself, and Alfred trying to reason with Batman was the real Alfred trying to reason with Batman after watching his rampage live on the news?
No, I pretty much took it at face value that it was all some sort of nightmare/hallucination born from Scarecrow's toxin. But your idea would be amazingly dark and definitely lend an even sadder air to the Knightfall Protocol ending if Batman regained himself after the rampage you described and realized he had to make sure he wasn't ever a danger to others again.
That being said, I DO think (in the context of the hallucination) that Two-Face, Riddler, and Penguin aren't seeing the Joker's body like the player is. They're seeing Batman fully succumbed to the Joker's influence...which makes me wonder what that would look like in this game. Perhaps something physically similar to The Batman Who Laughs, but with Joker's consciousness rather than just his personality?
Brandon Williams I don’t think he’d undergo any physical changes, rather more the Joker’s mannerisms and personality. The weirdest part would be seeing the normally stone faced and stoic Batman with a large grin and laughing his head off.
I honestly think that is what they're alluding to. Obviously it's a "what if"
But considering we see Two Face turn into Gordon, and all the dialogue matches up with what those characters would say, it makes sense.
I have actually been trying to figure out who Penguin and Riddler would represent and you pretty much cracked the code
Love how joker is in complete control and then taunts scarecrow into dosing him again. This time instead of affecting bruce it affects joker.
And this means scarecrow was curing Bruce without knowing it
@@eliainati3268yes
Finally an Arkham where joker can't escape
.....yet
joker is best...
This is it... this is how joker died
Hell
The ending of this game presented some horror that rivals true horror games.
Even some of the jumpscares in this game were terrifying.
Truly a masterpiece of storytelling.
Batman became the Batman who laughs but only for a moment
Ironic
The bit where where joker says “get ready for the encore” would have had effect to me if it was Bruce’s model and Kevin Conroy doing the lines/laughs
I love how Joker has a fear of being forgotten. Something Joker would truly fear
21:48 "Some men just want watch the world burn."
This return from Alfred in the dark knight movie
The fact that "Only You" is faintly playing in the background really sells this scene.
The Joker once again shows himself to be the true villain of the game.
It's way better executed than the Arkham Knight subplot's ending, anyway. At least I get to hit Joker with a punch!
"Only You," the final song sung in Arkham City, is a background to the slaughter in Batman/Joker's head.
Montesama314 if you think about it, the song describes the relationship that the clown has with Batman. They exist for each other. "You are my destiny" and such. And how "Only you can make this world seem right".
I think the player was releasing some steam in that last part, but honestly if I have Maduro- I meant, the Joker as a punching bag I would also go wild... Maybe even wilder.
Also Far Cry 5 ramoage ending lol weird coincidence
Hearing Alfred beg like that is legitimately heart breaking, even if it’s just a hallucination
I love the perspective shifts of Batman in this game (Gordon and Joker). It makes wonder why they haven’t made a horror game where you are just some low level criminal trying to rob a building, slowly watching Batman brutally take out your group.
It’s at night, skeleton crew working inside. You can try to run away from Batman, you can’t hide from him for long, you can try to fight him but can’t beat him (maybe to a degree but he shatters you if you ever try it again at any point of the duration of the game), you are designed to pretty much lose in every outcome by varying degrees.
Best endings: You just get choked out or one solid hit for not pissing him off too much. Or you successfully get away with the robbery. You get paid by whoever hired you, victory party, etc. Only to later wake up badly beaten in front of GCPD.
Quickest ending: Try to fight/shoot Batman when the majority of your people try to stand their ground.
Worst ending: Batman breaks nearly every bone in your body when he gets to you (possibly based on choices made thought the game or how much of a nuisance you’ve been up until that point).
Nice
You mean like arkham origins multiplayer?
The part where you play as the Joker and you’re in the dark room with the changing walls and Batman statues scared the crap outta me that’s definitely gotta be the creepiest part of the game!
I can see the next batman game already. "Batman, The Weeping Angel."
Ah this game was amazing i miss 2010-18
The Arkham Angel sounds like a good title, ngl
Mark Hamill makes this a hell of a masterpiece
Yea he does mark is amazing as joker I'll always remember him as luke Skywalker though but those roles is what made him so famous.
32:54 "No, Bats, wait!" That's just sad :,(
Goodbye, Joker.
I'm depressed after hearing his cries for help! It's just not like him and that is why it's sad
Oh, it feels nothing short of satisfying! The high-and-mighty clown that gives everyone a big headache of being a twisted, insane nuisance, reduced to a lowly, pleading, pathetic, cowardly man filled with fear. It's what he's had coming for a long time, and good riddance.
Did you notice on the elevator walls,there was a poster that said "The Flying Graysons"Dick and his family performed here?!
esther leslie yeah xD zoomed on it lol
I just realized that the song playing when you play as Joker is “Only You” by The Platters. Which is what Joker sings in Batman: Arkham Origins.
Actually is from Arkham city
Spider Gacha Yeah, I realized that a few days ago.
I love how this game turns into a 1st person shooter.
21:21 That Laugh!
23:20 THAT LAUGH!!!!!
22:19 till 22:44 still gives a little shiver up my spine
Seeing Alfred, who stays completely collected even under the most tense situations, losing his shit over Bruce killing the city he dedicated his life to protect. Yeah, that would do it
Even in death Joker is trapping Batman,
First the Asylum
Then into helping him find a cure
And now in his own mind,
Batman can never escape the Joker, they are destined to fight till they die
Because of me he hasn't disappeared he locked in the mind of the batman
I only just realized that when Joker was killing the villains, "Only You (And You Alone)" was playing
It's interesting to think of this version of Joker's biggest fear is being forgotten, when (if the Arkhamverse includes some Batman Beyond elements in the future) he probably would never be forgotten among other criminals if the the Jokerz gang comes into existence.
See I ironically see it as the exact opposite. The joker gang is nothing more than punk teens who want to be anti authority and be seen as tough. Just a bunch of thugs seeking validation. They’re so far removed from the Joker and his senseless terrorism that in a way, he absolutely has been.
Played this last year. But I remember really enjoying playing as Joker. It was cathartic and had a different feel. Especially the rampage portion where you can shoot the bad guys. It was gratifyingly evil. I think I would actually like a game where you play the villain.
But imagine it as a horror game where you are constantly being chased by batman when you least expect it
That could work amazingly actually....
It's so touching to see that Jason has painted a bat on his chest.
to this day, this ending is my favorite out of every ending of the Batman: Arkham series. I loved Arkham City so much but this one is the best one on my opinion.
It’s a fantastic game, but they forced the batmobile too much for me to call it the best. It’s a fun mechanic, but it’s a bit rougher than the parts that they spent two prior games polishing to a mirror finish. And that’s understandable, but since they spend so much time forcing you to use the weakest part of the game, it gets dragged down a little.
@@rock21611 i would understand your point of view. kinda hated that they did pushed it a lot especially with the riddler racing stuff. i believe now that arkham city was the best and really refined the series because arkham asylum was great but city improved upon it a lot.
"The question mark guy?" _Ooh, that's a low blow, Bats._
25:30 this part scared the shit out of me the first time I played this game. That and the first time we see Man-Bat. I mean I recently replayed Batman: Arkham Knight, I knew what was gonna happen with Man-Bat and he still got me. Scared the hell out of me. And it was worse the first time around, I almost had a heart attack.
For a second there when I was playing for the first time I actually thought that Batman is not going to win this time. But still, in a little corner in my heart I never lost faith. Batman can't be defeated. He is NIGHT, He is Vengeance. He is BATMAN.
man this brings back memories this was such a fun game they put alot of time and work into it
Love the Joker reaction : ooo cripsy ! Or forget to send the invite don't you ?
Jump scares make me shit a brick and hide under the bed like
"IS IT DONE YET?!"
I kinda wish that the ending had the joker take over and kill scarecrow snapping batman to his senses and then proceeding with the knight fall protocol before joker takes control again.
If batman killed scarecrow he wouldn't snap to his senses he'd still be joker
it was because of the second stab of fear toxin that batman regained control, if scarecrow hadn’t done that, Joker would still be in control.
One of the most amazing gaming moments I have ever experienced, this was truly epic.
Although most of their battles are epic, the battle in the head was the best
Harley Quinn sorry about your pudding
This is as close to the batman who laughs we're ever gonna get
am i the only one who felt really sorry for Joker at the end? The way he was pleading with Bruce, I mean, I know he's done wrong and he's an insane sociopath, but like... yeah, he's still human...
+TreyDZd The Joker wasn't afraid of the world forgetting him. He was afraid of BATMAN forgetting him. Without Batman, Joker is nothing.
sgauden02 yeah i get that, but, man its still kinda sad
TreyDZd I know.
+TreyDZd Sad? he crippled and killed anyone in his path, he deserved a way more ugly death.
+TreyDZd he literally crippled a teenage girl, took nude photos or her with her body laying on the floor, kidnapped the girl's dad, made her dad see and experience the nude photos in order to make the dad go insane. Plus he killed hundreds upon hundreds with no regret over anything. Pretty sure he deserved everything he got.
Joker: I need you
Me: Heartbroken
Did I just hear The Platters 'Only You" at 21:13?
Aimran Azman I think it is the one that Joker sings at the end of Arkham City.
You definitely did
It is but as a little Easter egg or a bit of a homage I'm sure
Yep
MsLaraCroftx i died a little in the inside when i saw Harley on the floor crying :( shes usually happy...
Angel Drawer Yeah, so sad :(
I like how you deliberately corner him away from the container to beat his ass.
I am vengeance I am the night I am Batman what a good way to finish off the series with joker this game is on point.
This is masterful storytelling.
You know the most brilliant part of this sequence (besides I am Vengeance) is that we get to see the Batman through the eyes of the prey. We are the ones being hunted and we are the ones on the other end of the Dark Knights rage. And it is terrifying. My hairs were standing up when I was slowly being surrounded by the statues, turning and seeing them all face me, I genuinely got scared when I couldn't destroy them all and they inched closer and closer. I jumped from my chair when Batman finally hit us so hard we had to change from 1st to 3rd person. And that's another brilliant choice the devs made, having it be in 1st person changed the feeling completely! Batman wasn't just hunting the Joker, he was hunting US! It's an awesome way to see Batman the way his enemies see him, a terror waiting and watching in the dark and giving a feeling that there is no place to run and no place to hide from him.
Playing #batmanarkhamknight , playing as the #Joker and ending
I love your game plays!
Wait so barbara lived
Yusuke Kurosaki yes
MsLaraCroftx well that sucks
Lara, whats your favourite tv series?
There are subtle hints that it only appears to be the Joker you’re playing as. Such as when he kills the Riddler. Why would the Riddler think a hostage would stop the Joker?
“It only appears to be the joker your playing as” wdym? You’re actually playing as the joker or what?
@@For_Fun.537 The player sees it as the joker, but the villain see it as Batman. Remember, this Joker's personality taking over Batman's body.
I mean it's not really a HINT. It's obvious that it's supposed to be Batman.
What IS probably a hint tho is the fact that Harvey turns into Gordon.
This probably means that you, Batman were actually killing your allies, not the villains.
I love this game ,and i love when Red Hood save Batman,max respect for Jason.
Love how some of batmans fight moves in the joker vs batman scene are actually the same moves as joker in asylum dlc
23:08 this scene is genius
Hearing joker beg saddens me. I know it shouldnt because he is a murderer but jesus christ that was heartbreaking
I beat it this morning and don't worry your not the only one😔
26:06
It absolutely shatters my heart to see Harley crying and Joker yelling at her because he wants attention
35:14 I found it kind of humorous when he screamed
Pretty much the Batman who laughs...
This is the closest "The Batman Who Laughs" we got
Batman promised the clown ,that his stories will be wiped out the memory.
31:57 joker beat down! Batman lays the smack down on joker
That was one hell of an ass beating Bruce gave the Joker 😂😂😂
Hey, The Grey Ghost poster! 1:18 :D Nice touch!
Wait so when Joker took over, everything that happened really happened? The burning city, killing the villans, everything was real? Jesus christ, one of the best plottwists.
No it wasn't real. It was Batman's worst fear
Playing as the Joker for this part was cool but was creepy at the same time. Playing through the Joke's point of view scared me so much. The statues were what made my heart go to my throat. Seeing them everywhere, I thought I was going to get jump scared for sure.
20:34 best part of the game genuinely was worried batman lost his shit and murdered all his villains.
Joker:[MANIC LAUGHTER]
I love batman arkam knight and your videos keep them goin!!! :D
+Bandit Ramirez thanks :)
+MsLaraCroftx np :)
The Batman jump-scare didn't scare me nearly as much as a Man-Bat like genius that scare so well-placed and so unexpected I'm pretty resilient jump-scares but that one was so well-placed it actually still scared me
32:54 Holy clow, from this part on, it looks like the end of a "relationship", if you know what I mean... xD
Pretty ironic that the game ends at where all the madness began(Arkham asylum)
i think it would be a good horror game idea where we play as a criminal in gotham and batman terrorized us
This was about to be batman who laugh if scare crow didn't gave him second dose of fear toxin
This is one of the best moment in a videogame
I remember that symbol from batman arkham asylum when scarecrow sprays his fear toxin and it shows that joker took over the asylum but it was scarecrows toxin its very strong
Joker: No Ones FORGETTING ME!
Freddy: I Know how you feel being forgotten is a bitch! And you should write your name in people's blood that'll make em remember
I love how that secret Harley dialogue is so unnoticeable yet adds so much. It's these little types of touches that make the Arkham games special in my opinion.
I love this crazy, green hair, psychopath dude so much!!!! O.o ...kinda wrong decision!...but i can't help it XD
I actually enjoyed playing as the joker... It was fun and crazy.
Only you in the background gave me chills jokers fear is scary asf
I like the little touch where Batman sees the Red Hood symbol on the wall and looks at it just before entering the building.
I never realized how likable the Joker was in this game.
For picking who you were gonna kill I didn't kill Penguin I killed Riddler didn't kill the hostage and killed two-face.
great gameplay! Scarecrow infuriates me!
I would think that Scarecrow would've come up with some sort of Plan B with an antidote, considering how many times he gets injected with his own poison.
This was the most fun I had with the whole game tbh
This is by far my fav game.... Game of the year 💯💯💯💯💯
The segment where you shoot the batman statues before he jumpscares you…true horror
when Goradn took off the mask i just realized it was like a robot like mask since it realeased like that
32:50 is honestly sad
So I’m guessing the joker blood has this effect because of the chemicals he fell into in his origin story. I mean regular human blood doesn’t turn people into the person who gave the blood.
Closest we will ever get to seeing the batman who laughs playable on a game
Hearing only you in the background instantly takes me back to far cry 5
