Let's go. Save Gotham guys Batman, Arkham Knight. Vengeance.Another W live.

All right, I'm not gonna lie, watch me take this down in like less than 30 seconds, bro.

Okay, ready?

Come on. Oh my God, that's crazy.

Charge him!

Don't scare me.

Got him. That wasn't even a sweat, which was crazy.

The city's finally gone to hell.

I'm sick of it, all of it.

I need you to stay calm. This won't help anyone.

I'm sorry, it's just all that's happened, it hasn't been easy. Feels like we're cursed or something.

I know about the sudden upsurge in fires. Was a cause ever established?

Nothing concrete. We were chasing our tails on that one. Hey, the way our luck's been, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the devil himself.

Wait here, an officer is on his way to pick you up.

Permission to give these guys a whack if any of them start coming around?

All right, if I'm not mistaken, I do remember if I'm not mistaken. Okay, here we go. But honestly, I wish they made a Superman game. Oh, is that it? Okay, I'm trying to see where it's at.

There's got to be someone left in Gotham worth robbing.

Or, you know, at least beating.

Man, the Bat could crush us in that car tank thing. Anybody seen that Anarchy guy?

That kid would love this.

Wait a minute, what's that over there? Hold up, if I'm not mistaken, is it that? I think I'm on the wrong side. Hold up, damn, because I remember passing this before.

Oh.

Oh, I think I, I see it.

One of the missing fire crew is being held near Grand Station. I'm going to get him back.

Plan your attack, sir. Multiple sentry gun placements have been detected.

Oh damn. Okay, I'm gonna plan it well. I just got to, um, I'm not Okay. Oh yeah, okay, okay. Okay, um, I'm trying to see if there's another way. I mean, there are ways to get around this too. That's what's funny about it. I'm just trying to see which way precise. No. I think, yeah. Ah, uh-huh, there, I remember now. Come on, come on, come on, come on.

This one.

Say hello to my little friend.

Oh, will be easy, freak.

Wow, you know what, that's crazy. Nah, sit your ass down, bro. Sit your ass down, bro, and leave me alone. Why I can't move?

I prayed for the first time in my life tonight. I should have known if anyone was gonna help me, it would be you. I need answers. We don't have much time. Whatever you want to know. The unexplained fires in the last few weeks. Was there a common accelerant found at any of the crime scenes? Sure, uh, petroleum-based napalm thickened with polyisobutylene. Poly what? Firefly. That's who you were tracking.

That freak? He hasn't hit Gotham for what, 10 years?

I tell you, someone needs to reopen the asylum. He's back. Don't go anywhere. Someone will come and take you back to GCPD.

Okay, here we go. And then there's one I remember right here. If I'm not— this— no, no, it's right here. Yeah. Okay, here we go. Wind at night. Let's go. Oh my God.

Soldiers, bombs, fear gas clouds, tanks, absolutely freaking everywhere. Crazy poison ivy pollen, not to mention the Bat driving around in his personal boar machine all night.

Next time there's an evacuation, the rioters holding a firefighter hostage near Wayne Tower. I'm going after him.

Be careful how you approach, sir. Scans are revealing the enemy to be armed.

Tonight's a great night to be bad. This is the true Gotham. All those other people couldn't face it. It's why they left. This is how things ought to be. You hear that? This is our city now. We get to do whatever we want. That includes beating you.

Stop, please!

But what do you want? He's smart. He's trying to figure it out. What do you think we want?

I, I don't know.

Wrong answer. Try again.

Money?

Hey, money sounds good. Maybe he's right. Nah, give him another guess.

I don't know. You want to know? You really want to know?

Okay, I really tried. I really tried, but I'm trying to see like a dude or whatever. I don't know how I'm gonna kick their asses. Maybe I can kick their asses. Doesn't hurt to try. Maybe I can kick their asses. He's not alone. I'm looking up you from up here. You know what, let me just shoot some people here. Got him.

Please don't leave me.

I don't know how to thank you, Batman. Have you found any of the crew?

Some, but there's more of you out there still in danger.

I think you got them scared.

Good.

Wait here. An officer will take you back to GCPD.

Hey, my stepbrother's stationed there. Sergeant McAllister. I sure as hell didn't think I'd see him again.

Is he okay? He's fine. You'll see him soon.

Thanks, Batman. I mean it.

I can't leave the fire.

Bro, I don't I think it was somewhere around here though, if I'm not mistaken. When I played the game before, I play— I passed it. This is like the second— I'm doing it like the hardest in New Game Plus.

But yeah, we're at the mercy of these rioters. They're out there somewhere.

The hell are the soldiers still doing here, man?

I'm almost rooting for Batman to kick their ass.

This is our city. They were beating on them pretty bad from what I could see.

Definitely ain't a good night to be a firefighter. Fighter.

Ain't a good night for most things.

I kind of feel like I lost something knowing he's Bruce Wayne. Hey, you know, like when you realize Santa Claus is really that drunk uncle.

You heard from Beeson ages.

I think he went all religious or something.

Okay, I'm getting bored. I think we do one more. I don't know how.

All I know is it's got to be now.

Now!

Yeah, now what are you, deaf?

Okay, Woody.

Okay, so there's nothing in here, bro. There's nothing in here, bro. This is fucking stupid, bro. That means I did this and then—

ah. Control is still confined. I'm seeing a riot in progress. Calder District, over. Why?

I swear, if there's nothing over here, I'm going to get so pissed off.

Help!

Somebody over here!

Help me!

You Crazy, you know that? No one's out there to save. Everyone's gone.

Gotham's—

I need to take out the thugs before I try and free the fireman.

Like, bro, that was light work, bro. I took out Olea. Like, what?

You know, I'm grateful for a job, but I never signed up for this. First the fires, now the whole city under attack.

I'm positive the arsonist you were tracking was Firefly.

Firefly?

That explains a lot. Those fires were something else. Some of the worst I've seen.

Was there anything linking them? Location? Type of building?

Yeah, they were all abandoned tenements or redevelopment projects. Does that mean something?

I can't say for certain yet. Don't worry, you'll be taken back to GCPD. Wait here.

Bye-bye, Arkham Knight, and good riddance too. This town's got enough guys in charge. When they said there was a job going to have fun with you guys, man, they had to turn people away. That was a line around the block. Guys lining up to get a piece. See, you represent everything about this city I hate. Law, order, justice— they never done nothing for me but lock me up. We got a lot of anger to vent, a lot of frustration.

One way or another, you're going to help us work it off.

Take out the big guy first. You see, you take out the big guy first and that's the least of your problem. These fuckers, you can save them for last. Okay, hold up, I got you right now.

I'll kill you, freak!

Oh man, I went in the water again. Psych! That's the wrong number. Okay, we'll see.

You're going to die, freak! What are you going to do, Batman? This will You're going to die tonight, Batman.

Oh my God, how the fuck? I forgot how to do this shit. No, I mean like that. I'm not scared.

Batman, God, it's really you.

I need you to stay calm and concentrate. Firefly was the arsonist your crew has spent the last few weeks tracking.

Firefly? You sure?

I haven't seen police records, but I suspect there was never a sign of forced entry.

State-of-the-art alarm system. Arms automated response, it was always neutralized. Wherever it was, they were one step ahead of us the whole time.

Even had the chief spooked. You found them? Don't worry, I'll find the chief. A GCPD officer is en route to pick you up.

I'm like, I got confused because I do know there's a little mini island right here.

I thought Bruce Wayne had nothing better to do than waste his parents' inheritance. He's really gone down in my estimation. So who's controlling the militia now that the knight's gone? No good looking up to the heavens.

He ain't saving you. He ain't saving nothing.

Well, after we kill you, I think I might go and do some shopping. Haven't you heard? Everything's free.

I think he's crying. Don't be upset, kid.

Your life wasn't worth a damn anyway.

With you.

Batman!

Hey, don't stop on my account, Batman. These bastards don't deserve the air they breathe.

You're safe now.

How many have you found? God, I almost don't want to know.

Most of your crew are alive back at GCPD. Just 3 are missing.

Not for long with you looking.

Wait here. A GCPD officer is en route to pick you up.

You think it's safe being out here again?

You know, I might mail bits of your body to GCPD. Could be like a jigsaw. Ain't long before you go to the big fire hydrant in the sky. Catch this.

And that's why they call me Batman, because I just got hit with a bat. Look at that.

Thank God. I've been listening to them talk about how they were gonna kill me for the last 20 minutes.

There's only one of your crew left to find.

Thank God. What about the chief?

Still missing.

Damn it.

You think he's okay, right?

I'll find him, don't worry.

They wanted to take our jobs, Batman. He fought, gave us hope. He even found time for the victims of fires. Only last week I saw him with a guy, awful burn scars over his hands and face, the kind of person other people crossed the street to avoid, and there was the chief helping him. That's what he's like—

selfless.

Wait here.

Ivy saved Gotham?

Sellout.

Control, we have a riot in progress. Chinatown, over.

I'm going to the waterfront near Ace Chemicals. One of the missing fire crews being held hostage by rioters.

Who's leading the militia now? I'm telling you, we should split.

What happens if the bat decides to break all our limbs? In case you forgot, we just—

That's the emergency room.

Man, Batman gets unmasked, puts away Scarecrow, and he's still out there. Take a night off already, you playboy vigilante nutcase.

I didn't expect to see anyone, least of all you.

You were the last person to I see the chief. What happened?

I was trapped when the truck crashed. I could feel the flames around my feet, my boots melting. Next thing, the window above me smashes, and there was the chief pulling me out. The truck was gonna blow, but he didn't give up. I saw them dragging him towards the City Vision building. Please, you have to help him.

I will. Don't go anywhere. An officer is coming for for you.

By morning, this place is going to have more plant life than a nature reserve.

We'll be the endangered species. Oh, what's the matter, Chief?

You look upset. Yeah, you should be happy. We're giving you the night off. Don't talk to me. Touchy. Maybe he had other plans. Oh, we're interfering with his busy—

Only the crew's fire chief left to save. He's at the City Vision building. They'll kill him unless I stop them.

Be extra vigilant, sir. I'm picking up a substantial enemy presence. They're not giving him up without a fight.

It's your fault.

You let your men here.

You got them all killed.

You know, how about we burn you alive instead? Hey, maybe we should just put you out of your misery and slit your damn throat.

And it's no fun when they're depressed. Highland to be hysterical. Don't eyeball me, old man. I'll cut him out of your freaking head. You know, how about we burn you alive instead? Hey, maybe we should just put you out of your misery and slit your damn—

That won't work. He isn't wearing a headset.

And it still fun when they're depressed.

I like them to be hysterical. How does it feel?

This is your— you led your men here.

You got them all killed. Don't eyeball me, old man. Cut him out of your freaking head.

And then we can just put you out of your misery and slit your damn throat.

You know, how about we burn you alive instead?

And it's no fun when they're depressed.

I like them to be hysterical. You know, how about we burn you alive instead?

Hey, maybe we should just put you out of your misery and slit your damn throat. Don't eyeball me, old man.

Cut him out of your freaking head.

How does it feel to know this is your fault? You led your men here.

You got them all killed. And it's no fun when they're depressed.

I like them to be He's there!

Hey, what happened to you? Huh? What the hell? Who's that? I can't attempt to free the Fire. I see something over there.

My men, are they okay?

Your men think a lot of you, Captain. They trust you.

You know, don't you?

I know you would do anything for your men. Even if that—

I always made sure they were—

you put your—

they've got family.

This is your seat, Chief.

Riding in the Batman's car, my little girl's gonna be jealous.

I didn't know about any of it, I swear.

You have to believe me.

Why would you?

Why would anyone? I don't know how to tell them. I don't think I can.

You owe it to them.

I know what you did was wrong, but you came back tonight.

That means something.

Yeah, kill guilty conscience.

But thanks.

Let's go, Chief.

Oh God, this is really happening. Try and make sure the men don't find out. I want to be the one who tells them you're right. They deserve that much.

I'm always looking for talent. Let's talk. Small opponents can be deceptively strong in combat. You need to lose some weight first.

I always thought the person inside that suit had to be messed up.

I think it's really cool that someone like you is doing something worthwhile. It's admirable.

Selina's still trapped in the orphanage. Nygma's got something in store for us both when I get there.

I wish Joker's Funland was still open. No lines for the Ferris wheel.

A bunch of Penguin and Harvey's boys working together.

I'm telling you, sign of the apocalypse.

Selina's still trapped in the orphanage. Nygma's got something in store for us both when I get there.

He was laughing, didn't you see?

Batman, Bruce Wayne, whoever he is, scarecrow gassed him and he just found it funny. That stuff screws with your head, man. It don't mean nothing. I don't know, that laugh seemed kind of familiar to me.

Control Falcon 4, we've got something. There's a body strung up on a rooftop in Bristol. All right, let's put—

we got the riddle done.

Welcome back to the Riddletorium. Do not fear, your friend has not been harmed. Before I allow you to see her, however, riddle me this. Riddle me this. What kind of question can only be asked upon reflection? Reflection. Good luck.

Good luck.

No, Dark Knight, you're way off the mark. Off the mark.

Selina's still trapped in the orphanage. Nygma's got something in store for us both when I get there.

Close, but it's not quite on the dot. Almost there, Batman, but you haven't quite made my Mark. You haven't quite made my mark. Well, well, it seems you have earned the right to see your friend. Your friend? Why, she'll be as surprised as I am that you've made it this far. They made it this far.

Oh good, you're back. Eddie wouldn't show me whatever deranged parlor game he's got waiting behind that door until you arrived.

I'll get you out of here.

I'm sorry, do I seem testy? It's probably something to do with the gorgeous necklace Eddie picked out for me. Have you seen it? It explodes.

Oh, I do hope you two are getting along, because you'll need to work together if you want to find the key hidden in here. Find the key?

Well, this looks creepy. Someone's been reading feng shui for serial killers. Oh great, extra trapped. As if the collar wasn't enough.

Oh, Batman, Catwoman, neither of you is getting out of there without the other's help.

I've got 5 switches and the world's most boring light show over here. You?

Same.

Oh look, it's more of Eddie's homemade friends.

Your mockery is pointless, cat. I don't have any friends at all. You simply won't solve this one unless you can see things from each other's point of view.

Point of view.

You'll never get out of here if you don't learn to communicate. Two questions and two answers, children. But which goes where?

Which goes where?

You simply won't solve this one unless you can see things from each other's point of view.

Point of view.

Well, there we go.

It's settled.

You're not quite as dumb as each other. Congratulations, Batman. Catwoman, you're lagging behind.

Lagging behind.

Oh, Dark Knight, I can barely describe to you what a pleasure it is to see your brow furrow over the simplest of conundrums. I do apologize for not— don't feel left out. You've been merely found in submission. Why don't you take out your primitive frustrations on my automated assistant? It's quite liberating to have freed myself from reliance on Gotham's ill-educated muscle. Well then, it seems you've earned another key.

Another key. This is going to take all night, isn't it?

I can't leave the key.

Well, that was fun.

At least I got to hit something.

I wouldn't celebrate just yet, you two. Dark Knight, my next challenge can be found beneath Elliot Memorial Hospital, conveniently located for when you pass out due to mental exhaustion.

Mental exhaustion.

Riddler's next trial's in Bristol. He's losing, Alfred, and that makes him dangerous.

Perhaps the real challenge is tolerating his relentless self-aggrandizing commentary.

You know, I never thought I'd I'm getting kind of tired of all this rioting. It's Batman! Get out! We got you, Batman! You ever wonder if this whole thing is some kind of—

The preliminaries are done with, Dark Knight. I hope you understand that. Oh, had I so wished you'd have failed before you had even begun to comprehend the very first hurdle. But no, no, no, I want I wanted you to know the full extent of my brilliance, you understand? To fully appreciate my superiority. But now, well, I'm not going easy on you anymore. Another racetrack, Detective, but please do not let its unique peculiarities crush your spirit. Crush your spirit. Shall we begin? No, Dark Knight, you are not losing what little grip you have on reality. You've merely entered a brave new world of my design. No, Batman, you can't drive through solid objects.

It's really physics.

What? I was not focused. I, I did that to myself. What?

Another racetrack, detective. But please do not let its unique peculiarities crush your spirit. Well, shall we begin? No, Dark Knight, you are not losing what little grip you had on reality. You've merely entered a brave new world of my design.

I control these.

That ceiling applies 300 dead bats of pressure, Detective. I invented the measurement myself. I built this course in a sewer, detective. You needed the home team advantage. Oh, you incompetent boy racer. Very good, Dark Knight.

Again, you fell asleep.

Careful now, Batman, you didn't go to—

No, I'm surprised you fell asleep.

Stay in the black in order to scoff at it.

No, I don't.

How do you know this, Batman? The walls of inevitability are closing in. No, Batman, you can't fly through solid objects. It's really basic physics. That's it, I'm cranking it up. 500 dead bats of pressure. You know, I think the wheels on that thing might actually be a thick as your skull. Feeling claustrophobic, detective? Get ready for the final lap. What a fitting end for you, detective.

No stain on my floor.

You'll be cracked.

What?

Pulverized.

Uh, any second now. I can see it, Detective. You're miscalculating corners, swerving through straights.

It's time!

1,000 dead bats of pressure!

No!

What a racing line is. You appear to have been utterly crushed by my superiority. Try again, detective.

I have all night.

If you can't understand the intellectual virtues of completing this trial, Batman, I'm not going to explain them to you.

Faster, Batman!

Like Hades! Or if you prefer, that Roman knockoff Mercury. Aren't things clearer now that that insane clown has been disposed of? Now you know who your real nemesis is. Get up! Another lap would be the end of you, Dark Knight, and I can't quite bring myself to stop the fun so soon. Your next key awaits.

Next key awaits.

Oh good, the fun part.

Riddle me this: what has a cape, a cowl, and can't be trusted?

Not—

and here we go.

I think that's the wrong key, if I'm not mistaken. I hope not. I hope not. Oh, yep.

Checkmate, Batman. I seem to have decapitated your queen.

But the thing is, it said it was on that side. That doesn't make any sense.

What?

Oh good, the fun part. And here we go.

Unless it's this side, that's the green part, right? It has to be one of two sides. Okay, yeah.

Congratulations, Catwoman, you proved yourself able to follow simple directions. I must say, Dark Knight, that But your desperate fumblings have exceeded my admittedly rather meager expectations. I am impressed. This must be how naturalists felt upon observing chimpanzees using tools for the first time. Did you know, detective, that the cleverest chimps can even obey simple instructions? It's true. Let's try it, shall we? Go to Gotham Casino for your next test, and I'll give you a banana.

Riddler's trials in Kingston.

He's been toying with me so far, enjoying the sense of control. I doubt he'll be playing games much longer.

Heaven knows how his insanity has manifested itself this time.

Oh, Detective, I can't tell you how pleased I am that you're playing along with my little game. You literally cannot imagine what it's like to be so intellectually removed from the rest of the human race. I couldn't honestly say you offer me a battle of wits, Dark Knight, but your feeble resistance makes a pleasant change from the instant capitulation of everyone else. Oh dear, Dark Knight, what a pity you couldn't bring the Batwing to this one. Hurry along, Dark Knight. This isn't rocket science.

Science.

Stumped, Dark Knight? I can see your brain flying through the possibilities. That's two down, Detective. Be careful of the death trap en route to the next one.

Bat!

The only mammal capable of flight. Since all you do is glide, you're actually a variety of squirrel.

I can't leave now. I have to help Selina choose the right key.

More cabinets. Great, I love this part.

Good luck, Catwoman. Given Batman's limited intelligence, I'm afraid you're going to need it.

Need it.

Okay, time to possibly maybe die.
