Arkham Knight's Boss Fights Weren't As Good As Arkham Origins

Batman: Arkham Knight is considered one of the best Batman games, but its boss fights are disappointing compared to Batman: Arkham Origins. As an action-adventure fighting game, Batman: Arkham thrives on letting players face impossible odds and come out on top. While Batman is often outmatched by his opponents, whether by numbers or brute strength, his cunning and gadgets allow him to pull off impressive feats. The quality of boss fights is often representative of a game's overall quality, but Batman fans preferred Batman: Arkham Knight over Batman: Arkham Origins, making both games an interesting enigma in the franchise. Several characters and mechanics existed to make Arkham Origins far superior to Arkham Knight's boss fights, which unfortunately couldn't elevate the game to higher ratings.

Batman: Arkham Origins takes place on Christmas night after Black Mask puts a $50 million bounty on Batman's head. Firefly, Copperhead, Bane, Deathstroke, Electrocutioner, Deadshot, Killer Croc, and Lady Shiva appear as boss fights throughout the game, battling Batman and each other for their reward. Batman: Arkham Origins explores a younger Batman whose abilities and instincts are still being honed, with the deadly, wintery hunt becoming one of his first significant wars against crime. The game also explores Joker's first confrontations against Batman and details how their rivalry culminated into the events of Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. However, Arkham Origins' greatest boss fights and triumphs Arkham Knight doesn't even include Joker, speaking to the combat gameplay's overall quality.
