While the Joker died at the end of Arkham City, the character lives on in Batman’s mind as an almost cancerous growth that he cannot avoid. While this is a Batman game, Mark Hamill has returned (after vowing he was done with the character) to steal the show as none other than the Joker himself. The banter with Catwoman, Nightwing, Robin and Oracle really made the whole thing feel like a proper Batman experience. Some of Batman’s greatest on-screen interactions came from this game alone. “What’s Scarecrow’s plan?” “Who is the Arkham Knight?” And “What will happen to the Gordons?” Are just some of the questions that we as players are subject to as we play along, and while some of the story threads don’t really pay off in the end, the whole package feels like a Batman story.Ī huge part of what makes this feel like a Batman game is the same as what made Arkham Asylum and Arkham City so great the developer’s have nailed the world that Batman lives in and the characters that inhabit it. The way that Arkham Knight’s narrative plays out is very evocative of the Detective Comics stories where Bruce is pushed to his absolute limit in his search to uncover the facts of the case. Joining the Scarecrow in his crusade against the Bat is the Arkham Knight, a mysterious soldier who has bears a grudge against Batman and is willing to bring a multi-billion dollar army to help him enact it.Īrkham Knight manages to draw on 75+ years of Batman comics, cartoons and movies to create a story that perfectly does justice to everything that has come before.
Set a few months after the events of Batman: Arkham City, Arkham Knight pits the Caped Crusader against the Scarecrow, who has forced an evacuation of the whole of Gotham City so that he, and the rest of Batman’s rogue’s gallery can not only claim Gotham as their prize, but aim to break the Batman and show the world that he is not the hero that everyone thinks he is. With a new mystery to unravel and new villains to apprehend, is Batman: Arkham Knight a worthy swan song for the series, or have Rocksteady taken the game one installment too far? After six years of us as players being the Batman, we, along with the developers are hanging up the cowl.
