I love your sections that discuss comics and novels. I always find that I learn something new about a universe and it's refreshing that continuity errors are brought up because it feels like you're valuing their worth rather than treating them as disposable like the companies that publish them do.

Thanks for this massive retrospective son. As a huge Batman fan, I ate every one of these up.
Personally, Arkham Asylum still remains my favorite because it stays closest to the source material to me when compared to the others, and maintains a consistent focused, and solid story and interesting easter eggs for characters and obscure villains from the comics (Maxie Zeus and Tweedle Dum, and Tweedle Dee come to mind). I also liked its intro, where you feel something is wrong. I also really liked the chemistry between Batman and Joker, whereas in City, I felt I didn't see remotely enough of him.
But all in all, the entire series is great. I made sure to platinum each game on PS as they came out minus the VR title, because VR headsets make me literally sick, and it's sad that I can't physically experience it.
I hope they can release Suicide Squad in a good state, and I hope it does justice to Kevin Conroy's Batman. He's still the definitive Batman voice to me just like Mark Hamill's Joker. Sad that we won't get more from either of them in these roles but happy we got what we got and crowned off the series.
While I did watch this entire retrospective, just wanted to ask what your take is on how Arkham Knight ended. What was your take on that epilogue scene! Cheers

Excellent job son! On the topic of Arkham Origins I personally think it was a decent choice to not add too much to combat and gadgets because it would be weird if Batman in the game was more advanced than in a game set almost a decade later. As far as the character designs I always took it that this was before everything started getting more fantastical, as in Bane wasn't using enough or as potent venom and Croc hasn't furthered his mutation all that much. In Arkham Knights dlc with Croc they showed him even more monstrous and referenced him advancing his mutations with genetic tech thefts.

There is one character quasi-introduced in Batman: the Animated Series... I say quasi-introduced, because the character himself is part of the DC Universe, but, not this particular user of the character mantle... that they really should have put into, at least, one of these games.
That character is Templeton Fugit, the Clock King. This is a character who should have taken the mantle into the DC Universe from the cartoon in the same way as Harley Quinn. But, while they have brought in new versions of the Clock King in the comics, not Templeton Fugit.
He is nothing but an OCD, middle aged lawyer, obsessed with time management, who had a psychotic break. Yet, with his mastery of time management, in his very first encounter with Batman, he escaped without giving, or taking a hit. Taskforce X used his planning to steal from the Justice League's headquarters. He even got a temporal device in one episode to give him time-speed and slowing powers. Templeton Fugit honestly deserves a place in the comics, as a whole. I quite honestly have always seen him as the greatest shining star villain of the Batman: the Animated Series universe.
But, back to the games, this is a character who could have used Psycho Mantis attacks against Batman, knowing how to avoid his attacks with use of timing in the environment around him.
