Arkham Origins unironically has the better story.

>>738541274
They weren't random, and neither were they innocent. They were people who helped build and design the bombing systems, and journalists who were trying to expose his scheme.

>>738541794
>Arkham Origins unironically has the better story
I agree, Origins genuinely has the best plot of the 4 games
but you don't completely forget about Strange. Much of the plot is about how he's supplying each of the gangs with info and weapons in order to escalate the gang wars and allow him to get permission to bomb the place.

Trying to get rid of witnesses who know your eeeevil plans is still bad and idk how journalists trying to expose Strange are not innocent

City's main plot was kinda shit but it had great character writing, especially in some of the tapes that still stick with me fifteen years later. Kind of the same problem that Knight had, I still find it incredible that the same team that wrote the Joker tulpa's fantastic banter also wrote the Arkham Knight """twist""" and clapped themselves on the back for a job well done afterwards.

Origins is good enough to be canon, but isn't as good as Knight
Gotham Knights is actually good if you ignore gay retards telling you it's shit because there's an email where a character uses pronouns or something.
Suicide Squads opening hour is as good as City
The rest of Suicide Squad really is as shit as people say.

So what do you guys want from the new single-player Bamham game that Rocksteady are apparently releasing in '27?

Do we think it's Batman Beyond, or do you think they're just gonna glaze over the destruction that Braniac wrought?
It'd be cool reusing the JL clones from SS as their Earth-3 counterparts or something.

Protocol 10 will commence in 10 hours. Yes, you have played the game for over 20 hours by now, and it's still somehow nighttime and the sun will definitely not be high in the sky in 10 hours. Also my elaborate plan with a secret code name is just to use a bunch of helicopters to shoot rockets aimlessly into the streets of Arkham City.
>>
if you kill one murderer the number of murders stays the same.
But if you kill two murderers, you have now decreased the number of murderers. Keep going until you have murdered all the murderers and then you can as a bonus kill yourself and there's 0 murderers left.

Batman the mentally ill billionaire vigilante will violently assault you, rupture half of your internal organs and put you down unconscious if you even try to harm this deranged psychopathic serial killer who most definitely deserves to die.
>>
>>738541620
If I kill two or more then the number goes down. The lesson, kids, is don't stop.
>>
>>738544915
Statistically, Batman must have murdered people, especially in the Arkham games where he's repeatedly knocking dozens of henchmen unconscious in the streets. Like you said, he could easily rupture their internal organs if he kicked or hit them with enough force in the right spot. Remember that football played that collapsed in that game because he just happened to get hit in his heart causing cardiac arrest on the field?
You can kill someone just by punching them in the head, it happens all the time. Hell if you punch someone in the head and they get knocked unconscious and have a TBI they could suffer from the repercussions of that hit for the rest of their lives. He could fracture their spines if he kicked them in the right way or knocked their back into something that caused a fracture.

Or, say one of the people getting knocked out falls down and hits their head HARD on the concrete or a piece of metal or some other object lying around that causes an internal hemorrhage, or causes an aneurysm inside their brain. Batman has more than likely murdered hundreds of criminals at the very least from all the damage he's doing repeatedly punching their heads and bodies or breaking their bones.

Ok. I'm never going to play knights or suicide squad. They're disgustingly gay to me.

I didn't like origins and dropped it. Loved asylum, city, and knight tho. Never understood why /v/ hates knight but loved origins. Origins felt "B-team" in every way.

A punch to the back of the head can literally turn you retarded, happened to this guy.
Batman has landed countless nasty full force elbows to the back of the heads and spines of enemies in every Arkham game I've played. They're all stuck in wheelchairs shitting and having to be fed by a helper their pants right now.

>>738545420
Suicide Squad is canon but, it's revealed that the League are all clones by Braniac. You save the real League in the end, including Banham.
Knights isn't canon.

>main plot was kinda shit but it had great character writing
This is pretty true of the entire series really
Take the Riddler - even though his actual plots are stupid and exist only to stick collectibles in the game, the actual dialogue and characterization of him is the best in any batman media.
There's a line in knight where he says something like
>It's as if I have been transported to an alternate reality where I'm not the genius and you aren't a jumped up amateur with an overinflated sense of his abilities
and you can almost hear the exasperated realization in his voice creeping in before his flat out delusion takes over once again

/v/ has a lot of contrarians who will see a near-universally despised game and latch onto it, defending it with their life. Arkham Origins is one such game, other examples that spring to mind are Resi 6 and FF15. Anyone calling Origins underrated or SOVLful can be safely ignored.

The real reason people say that Arkham City is the best is because it had by far the best soundtrack compared to Asylum and Knight. They won't admit that, of course, probably not even to themselves, but it's the truth.

part of the whole point of Batman is that he’s just as much of a delusional madman as his villains, only differentiated by his morals and discipline. the fact that a mass murdering clown is the only person who truly understands him should tell you everything

Red Hood by far is best to play because of that. He has guns and that makes combat at least seem faster since you can close gap and combo with guns from distance. It doesnt help how retarded AI is in this game and how enemies literally arent aggro at all no matter what difficulty,they just circle around player and dont even close gap for most of the time.

These games are definitely the better presentation of Batman on any media, but man is the writing bad at times.
City's plot is said to be the best but it's retarded.
The game makes a big deal about Protocol 10 right at the start, but as soon as you get the Batsuit, Bruce's method of investigation is yelling "WHAT IS PROTOCOL TEN" to the nearest Arkham inmate who obviously wouldn't know.
The Joker hijacks the plot (setting a trend) and Batman just decides to stop investigate anything about Protocol 10, until it happens and what is it? Bombs. Apparently they didn't think having a city wide prison was enough of stretch so now where supposed to believe that the Gotham City Council decided to legalize FUCKING AIRSTRIKES in their city.
And Knight actually reaffirms that shit by saying that the thugs sued the City won, as if this was all that would happen if a Mayor had just tried to mass extermine its citizens
Every single plot beyond Origins (which has some issues) and Asylum (which is by far the best) is baaaaaaad.
