The Complete BATMAN ARKHAM Timeline Explained!

The Batman Arkham franchise has grown to become an extensive series with a timeline that glides its way through 5 mainline games, a handful of spin-offs, a plethora of tie-in comic books, a novel, a VR experience, and a movie. But how does everything tie together?

This video breaks down the franchise chronologically, charting the story of Bruce Wayne’s alter ego of Batman from his origins, through to his supposed demise, and the rise of the Suicide Squad.

With Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League set to expand the Batman Arkham franchise, what better time to dive back into the gaming saga of the Dark Knight.

Make this the “suicide squad is not our canon” button

This series is the Michael Jordan of licensed video games, no matter how many come after it this would forever be the best. GOATed trilogy

[Leatherface]

Would so love a Batman Arkham Beyond game, based on Batman Beyond and set in a Cyberpunk'esk world. Return of Batman

[leniluan]

is anyone watching this after the suicide squad game killed out and just want to relive when the story was still good

[Zlopez]

I think Batman: Arkham Origins is a seriously underrated game in this franchise. I really wish they would’ve reissued it for X-Box one like they did with the others.

This would be on my recommend today😢 RIP The true voice of Batman Kevin Conroy

The only weird thing to me was making Tim Drake Robin in A Matter of Family. It takes place right before Barbara was paralyzed, which itself happened an unknown amount of time before Arkham Asylum. It would've made way more sense for Jason Todd to be Robin in that DLC, with Tim Drake not being Robin until the time gap between Asylum and City, since it was implied in Asylum that Batman didn't currently have a sidekick during the events of that game.

Let's be honest Batman Arkham Knight inspired the creation of the Batman who laughs.

[Andrew-updr]

I think it should have been Jason as Robin in a matter of family dlc and ended with him getting taken by joker

[TheAdoringFan]

No shade at all with the timing of this video ☠️☠️

[monsterabs]

Arkham Origins so underrated, love that game

[anasshahid]

The Batman Arkham Trilogy along with Origins are some of my all time favorite games, nailed the feeling of being Batman, the atmosphere, gameplay, story all top notch, Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill stole the show as Batman and Joker, it felt like reliving the animated series 🦇😃

I love that the suicide squad is so realistic brought back batman and king shark

[Drinibl]

Great Job, mate! You even paid attention to the DLC's. Keep confident!

[aidanbarger]

Should mention that Cpt. Boomerang was killed in the Arkham Knight Prelude comics. Some stuff from the comics and books are sort of up in the air about terms of continuity

[ace_gamer]

Thanks for explaining, hope I get to play it someday

[joenesvick]

Wish Origins was part of the Return to Arkham collection. Hey, wouldn't Cold Cold Heart be before Blackgate 🤔, Harley Quinn's Revenge also got skipped 😯

Blackgate wasn't my favorite and I totally got defeated in Initiation, and it reached the point where they wouldn't let me continue and expected me to start over. I basically just do Batman Arkham Origins, Cold Cold Heart, Batgirl a Matter of Family, Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Harley Quinn's Revenge, the Harley Quinn episode, Arkham Knight and the rest of the Arkham Episodes. The comics and animated movie sound like something to check out

I was disappointed that Mass Effect's Kimberly Brooks got recast as Barbara Gordon in Arkham Knight, but still enjoyed the game

i’m here after seeing arkham batman show up in one of the trailer for suicide squad

[dr.sivavignesh]

I'm just happy that there were 3 fine games mirroring the 3 fine movies nolan gave us.

im pretty sure it's explained in asylum that joker approched dr young as jack white al told her to create the titan while funding the project. But dr young realised it's wrong and cut the ties with joker. then joker got mad and took the matter into his own hands and came with the plan to take over the asylum hance the events of the game
