Friday the 13th 2009 reboot

Growing up I never liked horror movies the whole idea that being terrified is equal to pleasure was a bizarre concept but this changed one faithful day when I gathered enough courage to watch a horror movie with my friend and that movie was called Grudge 3. Since then I've been watching quite a few and I've officially found my favourite series that being the Friday the 13th series.

The Friday series began as a typical "Who Dunnit" type of slasher movie where we wonder who is the murderer in the movie. This changed in the 3rd movie where we see the murderer.

Out of the several movies of the series my favorite Recalling. This was basically almost every single part in one. The movie had Jason's ( the main villain of the movie) origin. Some of his original kills etc. This movie also had a more terrifying version of Jason as he was a human being as compared to an undead demon in the other movies. he was an agile hunter who knew his home i.e. Camp Crystal Lake like the back of his hand. he created trap doors and tunnels so that he could spring out of anywhere. this caused great panic among the audience as we kept guessing where he would be.

My favourite moments from the Batman Arkham Games

From my earlier blog, you must have noticed my love for the Batman Arkham games so to continue this trend ill present my favorite moments from the Batman Arkham games that I've played. This is a spoiler warning for those who haven't played the games.

1 - Batman goes to the batcave in batman arkham asylum- In the very first batman arkham game, we come across Dr Penelope young whose research is very dear to the joker as it helps him create a drug called TITAN which was a derivative of the drug that Bane uses called Venom. This drug helps him create his army of monsters. Batman comes across the research and travels to "Dead Mans Point" which was a popular Suicide point in the asylum. Batman glides down from that point and enters a hole which turns out to be the new batcave in the asylum.

2 The Scarecrow Boss Fights - One of the most terrifying boss fights in the asylum was the Scarecrow Boss fight in my opinion. His intro terrified me as a child. The boss fight consisted of a Platformer type obstacle course the goal being to reach the bat-light.

3 Climbing the Wonder Tower - To stop Hugo Strange from destroying Arkham City, Batman must climb the Wonder Tower. This scene included not only every form of traversal from Batman but also different ways of fighting Hugo Strange's Private army.

How Rocksteady Studios Ruined the Batman Arkham Series with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League

Introduced on May 30 1939 Batman has been surrounded by many fans from all over the world (Including me). Thus it’s of no surprise that there have been multiple games ( 51 to be exact) on him but none have been as popular as the Batman Arkham series created by Rocksteady. In 2009 they created they're first Batman game called “Batman: Arkham Asylum”. The game Featured Kevin Conroy as the voice of Batman and Mark Hamil as the voice of Joker many may recognise them as the voices of Batman and Joker in the Batman animated series as well as some Justice League movies and shows. This game redefined the combat system of many video games of that time and has been an inspiration to many others , the most popular being Insomniac's “Amazing Spider-Man” series which features similar gameplay mechanics. No wonder this game won Game Of The Year.

The popularity of the first Batman game gave the studio enough confidence to create their second game roughly 2 years later in 2011 called “Batman: Arkham City” This time the game took a different approach. Instead of the linear playthrough of the first game the studio decided to make this game open-world. This change was one of the best changes the studio made as this game has been known to many as “one of the greatest Batman games ever”. Spoiler alert to anyone who hasn’t played the game The Joker dies in this game.

Warner Brothers which is the parent company of DC Entertainment wanting to capitalize on the success of the Batman Arkham series created another game called “Batman: Arkham Origins” This game was meant to act as the beginning point of the Arkham series as this series shows a young batman Just beginning his vigilante career of being the guardian of Gotham city. This time it featured Troy Baker as the voice of Joker and Roger Craig Smith as the voice of young Batman. This game featured one of the best boss fights in the series i.e. against Deathstroke

To close the Batman Arkham universe Rocksteady decided to create their last and final game ( or so we thought) with “Batman: Arkham Knight” in 2015 this game featured a new combat system i.e. we used the bat mobile. This game was the studio version of the Red Hood story by DC Comics. It again featured Kevin Conroy as the voice of the Batman and Troy Baker as the voice of the Red Hood. In my opinion this was another underrated game if it wasn’t for the technical difficulties the game faced.

Roughly 5 years later Rocksteady Studios announced another Batman Arkham game called Suicide Squad Kill the Justice League. The game was meant to be released in the year 2022 but got delayed twice due to complaints by fans, The game finally came out in February of this year and in mine and a lot of people’s opinion ruined the series. This was for two reasons i.e. the Voice actor of Batman Kevin Conroy passed away from Intestinal cancer at the age of 66 therefore this was the last performance of the actor and the way the studio went about handling the death of Batman. The other reason was that the studio decided to make this game a live service. Simply, a player could spend real money to buy cosmetics and overpowered weapons from the game store

The studio could only save themselves by erasing this story, saying that Batman isn't dead, or saying that this game is not part of the Arkham verse. This game does have two popular theories namely the heroes we see dying are clones created either by the Justice League themselves or by Brainiac. and the second is that the game will slowly bring back the dead heroes because of hidden voice recordings found in the game's files. Whatever they do I hope they make Rocksteady make the right choice.
