Batman - Arkham Asylum Theme

[nightfallkilla77]

arkham city's is better

[bballvballlover31]

Have you listened to this one plus the Arkham City one back to back? Listen to Arkham Asylum first then Arkham City second and they meld together pretty well, making one single theme song.

[Aeolis7]

I would have loved to have heard Shirley Walker's awesome music.

[DarkAlphaStar]

this was great b4 but batman AC totally pwned this by a long shot

[TheSolow666]

Killer croc one hell of a villian I thhink his lair shud of been more difficult than it was

[DevilishmanThe]

@TheSolow666 Gotta agree with that.

[Ceamonks890]

Arkham Asylum's main theme is slightly better than Arkham City's one. Although AC's one is pretty good too:)

[Ravemaster888]

sounds very sinister



[115386acer]

yes theres a side mission were ya fight the riddler

[TheSolow666]

@jackwoop yea thanks for not spoiling it for me...by the way wud u happen to kno wat button to press an when?

[TheSolow666]

But u don't actually fight killer croc y wud he jus talk to batman an leave he hates batman

[Jackw00pw00p2]

@TheSolow666 Play the game to find out, I won't spoil it for you by telling you. But it's a good cameo none the less and an excellent game :)

[TheSolow666]

@rpsmith wat does it do?

[TheSolow666]

Does u actually see the riddler in AC?

[MegabyteUnleashed]

@TheSolow666 Killer Croc appears in a cameo if you hit a specific button at a specific point in the game (easily missed if you don't know about it). He just appears, talks to batman for a moment, then walks away.

The Riddler has taken a bunch of hostages and you have to get trophies and solve riddles like in AA. After a certain number, you get to go to a death trap and you must solve it to rescue a hostage. Once you get all the riddler stuff, you get to go take Riddler himself down

[TheSolow666]

I wish they had killer croc in AC too

[rpsmith014]

@TheSolow666 There's an easter egg where he appears for a minute.

[TheSolow666]

AA theme is way better than AC

[Aivottaja]

Both themes are great in their own style. I like AC's because it makes me think of Batman as a self-sacrifing hero (goes with the larger scale threat Strange posed). AA theme creates an atmosphere of isolation with Batman being the "specialist" who takes the inmates down .

[henxr678]

not nearly as good as Arkham City theme, this theme has more intensive, dark and 'heavy' theme.. It's okay.

[Mateusrr1]

arkham city have a biggest map,have side missions,have catwoman,have robin,nightwing and arkham asylum have just joker and batman,batman s gadgets are better,the riddler appears in the game and of course more inmates and super villains

[OTimeMasterXO]

This theme is excellant, as is the game. Similarly, 'City is also fantastic in soundtrack and gaming. Both games work really well in their own ways. Personally I love 'Asylum for the sense of claustrophobia and the fact hat Batman is trapped in with all thelunatics. However, it can grate after the main story is finished.

'City on the other hand, is great for its sandbox feel which keeps the mood even afte the main story is finished. However, it wouldn't work without 'Asylum setting up it's story

[oldskoolrocker1000]

@OTimeMasterXO Yeah the "no one can hear you scream" mystery feeling in asylum is what kept me going after the story.

City I didn't feel as interested in the story till my second time around when I started looking for the riddles in new game plus.

[saltythebear]

'Asylum' is a much more atmospheric and more psychological in its theme and tone. The nature of madness and if, maybe, Batman really does belong in the asylum with everyone else. 'City' naturally, like the difference in scale is about a larger scale mystery of corruption and deception, putting lives, instead of sanity on the line as Batman struggles with being poisoned, that he may die and how he may not be making a difference.

[Jackw00pw00p2]

Arkham Asylum: More toward Danny Elfman.

Arkham City: More toward Zimmer.

[deathofblackrose]

no offense but i thought this theme was depressing almost

[OatesQuotes]

@deathofblackrose It kind of is. It really sets the tone for a game where you play as a man who dresses up as a bat and fights crime to avenge his parents death, and is trapped in an asylum with crazies and lunatics he previously locked up trying to kill him though, to be fair to the track.

[TheOnlyShadow101]

I hate thumbs up comments !!! ........Thumbs up if you agree

[yougonasorry]

no this theme aint that impressive... but arkham city.. absolutely a MASTERPIECE! BRILLIANT!

[astersnake]

@yougonasorry is the same music, the arkham city theme is just more "epic"

[yougonasorry]

@astersnake type in youtube 'arham city theme' and listen fully to the video wth half of batmans face on it... this one here is absolutely nothing compared to the arkham city one

[astersnake]

@yougonasorry ya arkham city song is better, but is the same song, the base of thenew song is equal to this one just with more tum tum tum pun tututututu pum.

[dumbestname]

Like this theme, but the Arkham city theme tops this easily.

[corvettecrazy262]

@dumbestname I like Arkham City's theme much better too, but Arkham Asylum is the better game

[gamesmasterSJ9848]

@corvettecrazy262 agreed, I feel like rocksteady cockblocked me in the end of AC, and now we have to wait for the next game for the answers AC made. But the score in AC is incredible

[lalakersballer1]

@dumbestname arkham city theme i much better than this but still both of them are great

[Paulqk]

@dumbestname that's where you're wrong,this song totally beat's the crapp out of Arkham City Theme even if i like it,if there would be a song to describe Batman i would chose these one because in it you can find drama,action,total kickass,stealth=Batman it's like i only still play Arkham Asylum just to get to that part where is a mixture of the gameplay and this amazing song.

[bloodnivel70]

@dumbestname of course

[cats1992matthew]

@dumbestname HELL YEAH

[veso5554]

@dumbestname I don't know about that. I think the two themes are about equal. When you think of Arkham Asylum, it created more of a claustrophobic, trapped feeling. This theme reflects that. Arkham City was aiming for a less claustrophobic but equally dark and epic feel. Its theme captures that well. So I think both themes are good within the context of the games.

[ShaolinDragon9]

@veso5554 I have to agree with you there, you can also hear a Hans Zimmer kind of feel when you hear both themes. First that came to mind was wow, this is another Batman Begins video game, which was very good. Of course it was something much different...and both games being very good. Best superhero games ever.

[AmonCastro]

@dumbestname What?

This theme is way better that the Arkham City's song.

if you think that one is better than this, ok, but "tops easily? come on

[Urathomable]

@AmonCastro Seconded.

[Xipz001]

@AmonCastro It's true I mean it sounds like they just put some pieces of different songs together like what the coe???

[Xipz001]

@dumbestname So.Friggin.True.

[Anamewhowasnottaken]

THIS IS BATMAN ARKHAM ASYLUM ;D

watch?v=IfxqYIlxy8E

[13Psycho13]

I bet its Michael Keaton in secret under that cowl

[g8282]

This track is insane! (no pun intended) :)

[chuchupadinha]

OMG! I have to find gurgaya's commentary

[legoluke60]

@chuchupadinha Only two pages of comments, couldn't be that hard.

[megadanielj]

feo, sergi no se si sabes quien soy pero agregame al steam, (HardCore) ese es mi nick mi nombre de steam : aleixpujals

[gurgaya]

good game i have ever played ... but batman arkham city is better because it contains improved graphics and more characters to beat up...

[BlueBlazer89]

@gurgaya graphics to you mean a better game ? rolls eyes

[Rhonion]

@BlueBlazer89 wasn't able to play it yet, but according to what i could find about it, they seem to have made the combat and flying system more advanced. on top of making it even more free-roam.

so, i would agree that arkham city is better(IF, all what i said is true), on the points listed.

story and acting i won't talk about til i played it myself

[V742]

@BlueBlazer89 You have to admit, the frame rate was significantly better. I tried playing AA after playing AC is it was not pretty.

[iTubeYourDadsMinge]

@gurgaya

Very silly comment. Please get good.

[RCBreaker]

@iTubeYourDadsMinge But Arkham City is like ten 10x better than asylum, you can't deny that.

[henxr678]

@gurgaya lol if you say that a game is good if it has good graphics and lot of people to smash then I'd shut up if I were you. Operation Flashpoint (2001) Shitty graphics, an excellent game.

[mcdarklink]

love how it fades in and out throughout the entire game :)
