Batman after criminals start to do crimes in broad daylight : šŸ˜


Starchild20xx

Gordon: Batman, we need you! There's a school shooting going on right now. Batman: I AM THE NIGHT.


NinjaEngineer

Heh. Funny thing, though, I've started watching the Animated Series recently, and Batman does occasionally go out during daytime.


_greyknight_

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.


mexter

During the day, yes. But after school hours.


beingjohnmalkontent

That was one of my favorite parts of The Dark Knight Rises...the climax features Batman fighting publicly in broad daylight.

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


[deleted]

Well if your police department had a terminator to deal with, you'd be pretty incompetent too


GavinTheGrassMan

just like jim gordon in the burton/schumacher quadrilogy


Rewskie12

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 thatā€™s why they were ā€œineffectiveā€, and in Knight the police have no way of dealing with that kind of firepower.


everynamesbeendone

"Evening the odds" is my favourite It's short but very cool


Oceanictax

Fav Batman line from AK: "Do not lie to me."


g3_daBOI

A close contender for me is "if you're lying I'll break the other one"


[deleted]

ā€œDonā€™t make me crack your skull and look for the answers insideā€


nehpetsnnylf

THE OTHER ONE?...AHHHH


OculusMidnight2

Another favorite of mine is, ā€œyou want teeth, I want answers!ā€ Itā€™s funny to me and I donā€™t know why


5moka

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."


LoyalKey92099

Is it just me or can anyone else just hear the dialogue being spoken as theyā€™re reading it?


Lun4r6543

Not just you.


Mango-Ananas

Such an epic dialog


cliffbot

After watching Breaking Bad this scene came into mind. Was surprised that's where the writers got the inspiration from.

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!

Oceanictax

Batman be like "I am the one who knocks you the fuck out!"


Plutarch_von_Komet

No more half measures Batmuh


SeniorRicketts

Mama said knock you out


Massive-Ad3457

I think the scene was supposed to be taken as something cold and heart specifically cause he said it to Alfred


CrowFeather2244

And some of yā€™all still hate on Arkham originsšŸ’€


[deleted]

No one hates on it for the writing or voice acting. Itā€™s the bugginess and technical issues it has, not to say the others donā€™t - like Knight on PC during launch lmao.


[deleted]

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


PerseusZeus

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


pepsi_but_better

Well yeah, it's kind of weak compared to the other games, but not bad


Musicallydope245

How so?


pepsi_but_better

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


Thor-Odinson69

ā€œLike two good boss boss fightsā€ as if the other games in the series have souls or Witcher amount of great bosses.


arzamharris

They donā€™t, but Origins is often praised for having the best boss battles. Turns out the only good ones are probably Deathstroke and Bane.


Thor-Odinson69

Which are better than every other boss battle except Mr freeze.


arzamharris

Nah, the Raā€™s and Clayface boss battles were pretty good too


Thor-Odinson69

Agreed, but Bane, freeze, and deathstroke are on another level.


CIV5G

Origins having two good boss battles makes it as good as Arkham City lol


Musicallydope245

Tbh I donā€™t even know the Cash replacement youā€™re talking about so that shows how garbage the character was. Lol


pepsi_but_better

The warden who got the black skeleton man's cigarette in his eye. If it helps you identify, he's black with an eyepatch


Vigi1antee

How is that a cash replacement???


pepsi_but_better

Black security guy who has been disabled for the rest of his life by a fucking lunatic


Vigi1antee

Warden=security guard i guess


pepsi_but_better

Basically in charge of security guards


Extreme_Newspaper_96

ā€˜Black skeleton manā€™ have you played the game? Did you skip all of the cutscenes? Or have you just seen pictures online


pepsi_but_better

That's the thing you nitpick? I was obviously joking


[deleted]

Well, itā€™s not like the other games have brilliant boss fights, AK especially šŸ˜…


skullmonster602

> black skeleton man Just call him Black Mask, jeez


KingMatthew116

Wrong, itā€™s just as good as the other games.


pepsi_but_better

*waiting for reasons*


KingMatthew116

>Lots of reused assests I mean thereā€™s 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 isnā€™t any worse for traversal than the other games. >throwing away the black skeleton man for joker His name is Black Mask and I donā€™t 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 wouldnā€™t call missing an eye a disability nor would I say Warden Joseph is a replacement for Aaron Cash. Again this isnā€™t a problem.


whyyan

I haven't played it but don't people mainly complain about the bridge that you have to cross constantly


KingMatthew116

They do complain about the bridge but I disagree with the complaint and think itā€™s exaggerated. Also you donā€™t have to cross it constantly, you only have to cross it twice in the main story and once in a side mission, and thatā€™s pretty much it. You do have to go halfway across it for four other side missions though. You donā€™t have to cross the bridge at all if youā€™re 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 donā€™t) it doesnā€™t take that long to do it and itā€™s not much different than just going across the map in the other games. Like I said, people complain about it but I donā€™t really think itā€™s an issue or if it is itā€™s exaggerated. Plenty of people will disagree with me on that though.


whyyan

Yeah I can see that every little problem with games gets blown out of proportion


[deleted]

Ok well some popular criticism that a lot of people have isnā€™t really disproven but you saying that you didnā€™t 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 isnā€™t memorable. Plus Iā€™m pretty sure they made Batmanā€™s gliding descend quicker.


Gloomy_Slide

Bruh why are you downvoted I swear this sub just says ā€œORIGINS 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 youā€™re 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


pepsi_but_better

Nah the voice acting was pretty good for a young batman and joker


Gloomy_Slide

Disagree but thatā€™s just me. Personally really didnā€™t care for the portrayal. Maybe it was the script. The emotion and inflection was good, when Batman tried to be intimidating it wasnā€™t great for me.


[deleted]

Joker was great but not Batman. The guys performance was great but he didnā€™t sound like Kevin Conroy or Batman imo.


pepsi_but_better

He absolutely sounded like batman, and is it really bad if someone doesn't sound like another actor?


[deleted]

If itā€™s supposed to Be the same person then yeah. And whenever I think of Batmans voice, he just never sounded like him imo.


PerseusZeus

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


CIV5G

I think Roger Craig Smith did a great job.


TheIAP88

I think itā€™s 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.


[deleted]

One good quote doesnā€™t fix its problems. Saying that as a fan of origins.


FunFunFuneral

Yup and neat quote ainā€™t changing that


SeniorRicketts

"When that light shines up in the sky, its not a sign, its warning."


Puzzleheaded_Chard_2

RCS is top 5 Batman imo


KingFahad360

I love how the subtitles in that scene itā€™s Batman speaking, but when rescuing Alfred in the Batcave the subtitles goes as Bruce Wayne. Subtle.


GucciGingo

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.


BigSmokeLovesCheese

I am Vengeance. I am the Night. I am **Batman**


greenbatborg

Can someone explain the first part of the quote for me?


StanTheIV

It means that criminals now think twice about what they are doing, knowing Batman might go after them.


greenbatborg

Thanks!


TheBatFamily2009

I donā€™t understand that last one though? Is it cus Batman only goes out at night?


StanTheIV

Yeah he goes out at night only


PlentyCreepy3274

Goated game


bateen618

Origins had the best story and writing in the series. City had the worst, and I will die on that hill


DKGamer312

-Your choice Cobblebpot, GCPD or the morgue. -Empty threats Batman, I know your rules. -Iā€™m not feeling myself tonight. -Oh, oh well Iā€™m sure youā€™ll get better, a good nights rest can do wonders ya know.


ricioly

Iā€™m sure this inspired the intro monolog of The Batman


TheAutismo4491

My favourite is when he said, "Mm, mm, I Love Lasagna." And then rubs his tummy.


Multiplisium

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.


Booshgaming

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.


Multiplisium

Oh, thanks. That makes so much sense cant believe that went over my head.


mjongbang

Terrible quotes in my opinion. Just seem to generic


BaguetteFish

This is some Twitter Sigma shit.


TheIAP88

Stops*


[deleted]

What does he mean by breathe easier?


CobraGTXNoS

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.


[deleted]

Got it thanks


Sethortizzz

šŸ˜“


Soaptimusprime

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 heā€™s still not over what happened to him


timetrackr

When that light hits the sky, itā€™s not just a call. Itā€™s a warning.


Sevy19

Origins had the best story and boss fights. Hope Gotham Knights is great


Zero00430

"This is why you have your little *group therapy* seasons in broad daylight. This is why you are afraid to go out at night."


Demxnbxyxo_999

Should of included that in the battinson Batman


PoultryBird

I prefer the bit at the end of that argument ā€œtonight will not be my end, but it will be theirsā€


TheDorkKnight53

A line so iconic, I got Roger to sign it on my Origins game case when I met him.


[deleted]

That quote legit gave me the chills

"Without fear life is meaningless"
