10 NEW Lore Secrets in Batman: Arkham Shadow

Batman: Arkham Shadow, the latest entry into the Batman Arkham Series, adds SO MUCH new lore into the Arkhamverse, so I thought it'd be interesting to go over 10 of these story details and lore additions that are on the more obscure side.

While it's basically confirmed and this isn't as needed, a pal of mine got into the games files and found that the Rat is even labelled as Dick Grayson.

[KD_]

Camouflaj didn't just do their homework on Arkham lore, they did the extra credit assignments as well

[kwayneboy]

12:08 It's Babs the evidence bored confirms it because it states it saved Jim from Killer Moth which is what Batgirl did in the Arkham lore. They likely think it's a dude because Babs cowl doesn't show her yet and she speaks in a more deep tone plus her armor is mostly police vests so it hides her female frame.

[tierk]

Batman must've beat the amnesia into Dick cause there is no way in hell that I'm working for someone who throws me through a brick wall.

[Kafka.]

If you visit Leslie Thompkins while playing as Malone, there’s a conversation about “the kid”. Bruce asks Thompkins if she can find him, which is referenced in the end credits. she says “it wasn’t hard to find him.”

[blistow]

Another interesting thing about the dick Grayson thing the way he lands after been thrown by Batman very similar to the dead nightwing body from the first vr game. Obviously that’s one of Batmans dreams/ nightmares but it also suggests that Bruce is semi consistently thinking about the details of the night he first met dick

[primrose]

It’s crazy respectable how much they paid attention to little lore details and care for Arkham Origins, AO Online, and AO Blackgate. Most people haven’t even played Origins (much less Blackgate and Online) as it’s seen as the black sheep of the Arkham series and isn’t even playable on modern consoles so most people wouldn’t even care or even notice if they messed with the continuity of the games.

[NyctoPhobia]

I think the “copy-bat” could be Barbara pretending to be batman, I dont know if the stalking figure is the copybat but it could be possible

[Bobbybillybillbob]

Troy Baker at 9:21 really nailing that Hamill impression

[lildawfinn]

The shadow figure stalking you is just hinting at the Scarecrow sequence later in the game, the game is literally ABOUT your shadow self so it was just showing that its lingering over him at all times

[walangaccount]

They tied shadow so much to the arkham games I love it, more than what the original devs did on whatever SSKTJL was.

[WyattDucar]

This game makes me really hate Crane way more than Arkham Asylum and even Knight given the fact he was responsible for not creating this mess in Arkham Shadow but also creating Two Face it kinda makes the scene from Arkham Aslyum where he gets almost eaten by Croc leaving only his damage face a lot more deserving for what he did in this game.

That said, Elijah Wood did an amazing job as Dr Crane (plus he sounded a lot like Dino Andrade who did Scarecrow in Arkham Aslyum.) I think he would be great as a live action Scarecrow/Crane in either DCU Batman story or more likely in Matt Reeves The Batman 2?

[DotK-tm]

So Bruce recreated “Robin gets punched in the face” meme

[dragonbornrook]

13:00 While I’m positive it could be Barbara Gordon beginning the Batgirl persona but I actually think the one there’s one other suspect regarding the “Second Batman” I think potentially it could be Andrea Beaumont, A.K.A The Phantasm! The ability to vanish in smoke, bullets passing through the suspect’s body all match The Phantasms skills & abilities, having been confused as Batman quite a few times in her debut as a vigilante.

[AwesomeNinjaXD]

Someone in a different video suggested the stalking figure could be Ra's Al Ghul, as he has glowing eyes, is stealthy as an assassin, and has clearly been interested in Batman since Arkham Origins.

[bobbybarrett]

As a lifelong Batman fan, I caught the "Joe" thing as soon as he first introduced himself. The little hints afterwards (especially during the session with Dr. Quinn) only made it that much more obvious to me. Was a pretty good reveal in the end, and I love how Bruce handled it, though I would have loved to hear a follow up conversion between him and Alfred about it.

[vanishingllama]

3:01 Robin's origin???😮 This is an awesome take on the character! It's also just funny that THIS is how they met by beating the snot out of the other.

[Ahx-elqr]

It must of been awkward when Dick found out the guy who trained him threw him into a wall💀

[OliverLundeen-hcgg]

When I saw Joe’s reaction to hearing about Bruce’s childhood in the therapy sessions in my first play through, as a joke I said out loud, “he’s the one who killed them!” And then when they revealed that he did I was shocked
