![]() They set up the Arkham Knight as this anti-Batman who poses more of a threat than any other villain prior in Batman’s career but every time you run into the Knight, he either gets his ass handed to him by Batman, he runs away, or he lets Batman go due to orders from Scarecrow. Now I would agree that maybe I predicted it because I’m a comic book fan but the game itself does a poor job hiding his identity when out of nowhere, Batman starts having flashbacks to Jason Todd’s torture and death when there has been ZERO mention of Jason once in any previous game in the series! At that point, you might as well have a sticker on Jason Todd’s chest saying, “I AM THE ARKHAM KNIGHT!”Įnjoying our content?

Now you might be wondering, “Well why would she hate Jason Todd? He’s one of the best villains from the comics, right?” Yes, he is but when your big mystery can be predicted in the first ten minutes of the game? That’s not good. The big aspect that’s supposed to hook you into the story is “Who is the Arkham Knight?” Who the hell is this guy? Why does he hate Batman so much? Why does he call himself the Arkham Knight? Is it someone we met or is this a brand new villain? Well, unfortunately, the truth about the Arkham Knight is a giant letdown that stems from the fact that I predicted his identity from the first time I saw him in marketing. ![]() This is not me hating on what Troy Baker brings to the table as the character since the performance is far from bad, it is great talent wasted on a terribly written character. SPOILER WARNING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT PLAYED THE GAME!ī atman: Arkham Knight is a great game that I still have a blast playing every year but I will always say that the weakest part of the game is with the titular character himself: The Arkham Knight. ![]() I usually avoid doing posts like this where I just talk about something that I hate since I try to promote positive thoughts when I can but this is one that I have to get off my chest since it has been bugging me since 2015.
