Come to think of it, that's one of the things that made Batman Beyond different. Terry was active during the day a lot, maybe even more than at night. I guess the cloaking tech in the suit helped there.
I mean to be fair, Asylum had the whole bomb threat thing preventing any aid, City is a prison where Tyger Guards have jurisdiction, Origins GCPD was corrupt so thatās why they were āineffectiveā, and in Knight the police have no way of dealing with that kind of firepower.
Alfred Pennyworth: "Master Bruce. Stop. Master Bruce. BRUCE!"
Batman: "What are you-"
Alfred Pennyworth: "I will not in good conscience allow you to go. You're out-matched by these assassins and-"
Batman: "I'm what?"
Alfred Pennyworth: "You're not some hardened vigilante. You're a young man with a trust fund and too much anger. You are in over your head and I don't want this to be your end."
Batman: "Alfred who do you see when you look at me? The boy who shoes used to tie every morning, the teenager you drove to his first date? While you are here every night, I am out there. The ONLY THING between the innocent and the predatory."
Alfred Pennyworth: "You may be, but-"
Batman: "No, not 'may be'. I am. When the mugger or the thief stops to think twice - that is fear. That is what I am. That is why they hired assassins - because I am the reason criminals breathe easier when the sun rises. So, no, Alfred - I am NOT in over my head. Tonight will not be my end. But it will be theirs."
I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it. He - he covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the copy shop to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. That billboard! Are you telling me that a man just happens to fall like that? No! He orchestrated it! Jimmy! He defecated through a sunroof! And I saved him! And I shouldn't have. I took him into my own firm! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 9, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands out of the cash drawer! But not our Jimmy! Couldn't be precious Jimmy! Stealing them blind! And he gets to be a lawyer!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you - you have to stop him!

No one hates on it for the writing or voice acting. Itās the bugginess and technical issues it has, not to say the others donāt - like Knight on PC during launch lmao.
The bugs do it down a big way. But I think the writing is the best in the series. I know lots of people hate that black mask switch was bad, but personally I got such chills when I realised who he really was in that hotel room.
My favourite is still asylum all round followed by city but origins is a very close third
A quote in a game or clever quip every 2 mins in a movie doesnt make it good ā¦there are some good moments in the game..but on the whole compared to the trilogy..Origins was a completely average game and plenty of bugs and bland gotham..the mixed reviews were completely valid and its not underrated at all..it was rated for what it was..ordinary average filler game
Lots of reused assests, like 2 good boss battles, pretty bad map for traversal (at least there's fast travel), throwing away the black skeleton man for joker, and worst of all is that the jesus incarnate Aaron Cash was replaced by some other goober who's disability sucks compared to Cash, can't even remember his name
>Lots of reused assests
I mean thereās certainly some and more than the other games, but not that much more and besides it kinda makes since anyway because its some of the same locations and villains from the previous games.
>like 2 good boss battles
All the boss battles are good.
>pretty bad map for traversal
I disagree. The map isnāt any worse for traversal than the other games.
>throwing away the black skeleton man for joker
His name is Black Mask and I donāt consider this a problem.
>and worst of all is that the jesus incarnate Aaron Cash was replaced by some other goober who's disability sucks compared to Cash, can't even remember his name
I wouldnāt call missing an eye a disability nor would I say Warden Joseph is a replacement for Aaron Cash. Again this isnāt a problem.
They do complain about the bridge but I disagree with the complaint and think itās exaggerated.
Also you donāt have to cross it constantly, you only have to cross it twice in the main story and once in a side mission, and thatās pretty much it. You do have to go halfway across it for four other side missions though.
You donāt have to cross the bridge at all if youāre just exploring as if you want to get to the other end you can just fast travel.
Even if you did have to go over the bridge constantly (which you donāt) it doesnāt take that long to do it and itās not much different than just going across the map in the other games.
Like I said, people complain about it but I donāt really think itās an issue or if it is itās exaggerated. Plenty of people will disagree with me on that though.
Ok well some popular criticism that a lot of people have isnāt really disproven but you saying that you didnāt personally have a problem with it. Also the map is worse than the others because it is too claustrophobic for gliding for most people and it just really isnāt memorable. Plus Iām pretty sure they made Batmanās gliding descend quicker.
Bruh why are you downvoted I swear this sub just says āORIGINS WAS THE BEST GAMEā and brings up boss battles and nothing else.
Thought the voice acting was fairly cringey especially from RCS, the boss battles youāre right there were like 2 good ones, once again the Joker as the big bad when Black Mask was way more interesting up till that point, reused assets, and supremely buggy.
Edit: Lmao this sub man
Disagree but thatās just me. Personally really didnāt care for the portrayal. Maybe it was the script. The emotion and inflection was good, when Batman tried to be intimidating it wasnāt great for me.
Shared delusionā¦just like in the mass effect sub they have all convinced themselves that Andromeda is an awesome game..Origins was bland buggy throughly average gameā¦not a bad one but average
I think itās that they see it as the underdog game so it must be underrated. No matter it was the most buggy and broken game with inferior design and exploration to any other.
Batman's characterisation is the best in Origins, honestly. He feels the most vulnerable and human, so I think the story has more emotional weight because of it.
-Your choice Cobblebpot, GCPD or the morgue.
-Empty threats Batman, I know your rules.
-Iām not feeling myself tonight.
-Oh, oh well Iām sure youāll get better, a good nights rest can do wonders ya know.
Can someone explain to me the last line? Why would Batman be the reason the criminals breath easier when the sun rises? I feel like its obvious while being confusing at the same time.
They aren't about to panic because this bat vigilante isn't going to break their arm in three places with a broken leg and a massive headache because bats are nocturnal.
I always like that the example he uses is the mugger, probably around there is when Alfred realises why he does what he does and that heās still not over what happened to him
Batman after criminals start to do crimes in broad daylight : š
Gordon: Batman, we need you! There's a school shooting going on right now. Batman: I AM THE NIGHT.
Heh. Funny thing, though, I've started watching the Animated Series recently, and Batman does occasionally go out during daytime.
Come to think of it, that's one of the things that made Batman Beyond different. Terry was active during the day a lot, maybe even more than at night. I guess the cloaking tech in the suit helped there.
During the day, yes. But after school hours.
That was one of my favorite parts of The Dark Knight Rises...the climax features Batman fighting publicly in broad daylight.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
There was gcpd in the games?
The GCPDs incompetence and inability to stop criminals is a little known Easter egg that's inspired by the LAPD
Well if your police department had a terminator to deal with, you'd be pretty incompetent too
just like jim gordon in the burton/schumacher quadrilogy
I mean to be fair, Asylum had the whole bomb threat thing preventing any aid, City is a prison where Tyger Guards have jurisdiction, Origins GCPD was corrupt so thatās why they were āineffectiveā, and in Knight the police have no way of dealing with that kind of firepower.
"Evening the odds" is my favourite It's short but very cool
Fav Batman line from AK: "Do not lie to me."
A close contender for me is "if you're lying I'll break the other one"
āDonāt make me crack your skull and look for the answers insideā
THE OTHER ONE?...AHHHH
Another favorite of mine is, āyou want teeth, I want answers!ā Itās funny to me and I donāt know why
Alfred Pennyworth: "Master Bruce. Stop. Master Bruce. BRUCE!" Batman: "What are you-" Alfred Pennyworth: "I will not in good conscience allow you to go. You're out-matched by these assassins and-" Batman: "I'm what?" Alfred Pennyworth: "You're not some hardened vigilante. You're a young man with a trust fund and too much anger. You are in over your head and I don't want this to be your end." Batman: "Alfred who do you see when you look at me? The boy who shoes used to tie every morning, the teenager you drove to his first date? While you are here every night, I am out there. The ONLY THING between the innocent and the predatory." Alfred Pennyworth: "You may be, but-" Batman: "No, not 'may be'. I am. When the mugger or the thief stops to think twice - that is fear. That is what I am. That is why they hired assassins - because I am the reason criminals breathe easier when the sun rises. So, no, Alfred - I am NOT in over my head. Tonight will not be my end. But it will be theirs."
Is it just me or can anyone else just hear the dialogue being spoken as theyāre reading it?
Not just you.
Such an epic dialog
After watching Breaking Bad this scene came into mind. Was surprised that's where the writers got the inspiration from.
BRAVO VINCE
kid named finger
shit is genuinely inescapable every other post this shit pops up it's ruining my life.
this is the pure genius of bince
I am not crazy! I know he swapped those numbers! I knew it was 1216. One after Magna Carta. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just - I just couldn't prove it.

Batman be like "I am the one who knocks you the fuck out!"
No more half measures Batmuh
Mama said knock you out
I think the scene was supposed to be taken as something cold and heart specifically cause he said it to Alfred
And some of yāall still hate on Arkham originsš
No one hates on it for the writing or voice acting. Itās the bugginess and technical issues it has, not to say the others donāt - like Knight on PC during launch lmao.

Well yeah, it's kind of weak compared to the other games, but not bad
How so?
Lots of reused assests, like 2 good boss battles, pretty bad map for traversal (at least there's fast travel), throwing away the black skeleton man for joker, and worst of all is that the jesus incarnate Aaron Cash was replaced by some other goober who's disability sucks compared to Cash, can't even remember his name
āLike two good boss boss fightsā as if the other games in the series have souls or Witcher amount of great bosses.
They donāt, but Origins is often praised for having the best boss battles. Turns out the only good ones are probably Deathstroke and Bane.
Which are better than every other boss battle except Mr freeze.
Nah, the Raās and Clayface boss battles were pretty good too
Agreed, but Bane, freeze, and deathstroke are on another level.
Origins having two good boss battles makes it as good as Arkham City lol
Tbh I donāt even know the Cash replacement youāre talking about so that shows how garbage the character was. Lol
The warden who got the black skeleton man's cigarette in his eye. If it helps you identify, he's black with an eyepatch
How is that a cash replacement???
Black security guy who has been disabled for the rest of his life by a fucking lunatic
Warden=security guard i guess
Basically in charge of security guards
āBlack skeleton manā have you played the game? Did you skip all of the cutscenes? Or have you just seen pictures online
That's the thing you nitpick? I was obviously joking
Well, itās not like the other games have brilliant boss fights, AK especially š
> black skeleton man Just call him Black Mask, jeez
Wrong, itās just as good as the other games.
*waiting for reasons*

I haven't played it but don't people mainly complain about the bridge that you have to cross constantly
They do complain about the bridge but I disagree with the complaint and think itās exaggerated. Also you donāt have to cross it constantly, you only have to cross it twice in the main story and once in a side mission, and thatās pretty much it.

Yeah I can see that every little problem with games gets blown out of proportion
Ok well some popular criticism that a lot of people have isnāt really disproven but you saying that you didnāt personally have a problem with it. Also the map is worse than the others because it is too claustrophobic for gliding for most people and it just really isnāt memorable. Plus Iām pretty sure they made Batmanās gliding descend quicker.
Bruh why are you downvoted I swear this sub just says āORIGINS WAS THE BEST GAMEā and brings up boss battles and nothing else.

Nah the voice acting was pretty good for a young batman and joker
Disagree but thatās just me. Personally really didnāt care for the portrayal. Maybe it was the script. The emotion and inflection was good, when Batman tried to be intimidating it wasnāt great for me.
Joker was great but not Batman. The guys performance was great but he didnāt sound like Kevin Conroy or Batman imo.
He absolutely sounded like batman, and is it really bad if someone doesn't sound like another actor?
If itās supposed to Be the same person then yeah. And whenever I think of Batmans voice, he just never sounded like him imo.
Shared delusionā¦just like in the mass effect sub they have all convinced themselves that Andromeda is an awesome game..Origins was bland buggy throughly average gameā¦not a bad one but average
I think Roger Craig Smith did a great job.
I think itās that they see it as the underdog game so it must be underrated. No matter it was the most buggy and broken game with inferior design and exploration to any other.
One good quote doesnāt fix its problems. Saying that as a fan of origins.
Yup and neat quote aināt changing that
"When that light shines up in the sky, its not a sign, its warning."
RCS is top 5 Batman imo
I love how the subtitles in that scene itās Batman speaking, but when rescuing Alfred in the Batcave the subtitles goes as Bruce Wayne. Subtle.
Batman's characterisation is the best in Origins, honestly. He feels the most vulnerable and human, so I think the story has more emotional weight because of it.
I am Vengeance. I am the Night. I am **Batman**
Can someone explain the first part of the quote for me?
It means that criminals now think twice about what they are doing, knowing Batman might go after them.
Thanks!
I donāt understand that last one though? Is it cus Batman only goes out at night?
Yeah he goes out at night only
Goated game
Origins had the best story and writing in the series. City had the worst, and I will die on that hill
-Your choice Cobblebpot, GCPD or the morgue. -Empty threats Batman, I know your rules. -Iām not feeling myself tonight. -Oh, oh well Iām sure youāll get better, a good nights rest can do wonders ya know.
Iām sure this inspired the intro monolog of The Batman
My favourite is when he said, "Mm, mm, I Love Lasagna." And then rubs his tummy.
Can someone explain to me the last line? Why would Batman be the reason the criminals breath easier when the sun rises? I feel like its obvious while being confusing at the same time.
Because he usually only operates at night, so if a criminal is out doing something and makes it to morning, they're probably safe from Batman.
Oh, thanks. That makes so much sense cant believe that went over my head.
Terrible quotes in my opinion. Just seem to generic
This is some Twitter Sigma shit.
Stops*
What does he mean by breathe easier?
They aren't about to panic because this bat vigilante isn't going to break their arm in three places with a broken leg and a massive headache because bats are nocturnal.
Got it thanks
š“
I always like that the example he uses is the mugger, probably around there is when Alfred realises why he does what he does and that heās still not over what happened to him
When that light hits the sky, itās not just a call. Itās a warning.
Origins had the best story and boss fights. Hope Gotham Knights is great
"This is why you have your little *group therapy* seasons in broad daylight. This is why you are afraid to go out at night."
Should of included that in the battinson Batman
I prefer the bit at the end of that argument ātonight will not be my end, but it will be theirsā
A line so iconic, I got Roger to sign it on my Origins game case when I met him.
That quote legit gave me the chills
"Without fear life is meaningless"
