ARKHAM SHADOW: Just the Bruce/Harvey scenes
HARVEY: I don’t see any of that. You’ve gotta make it up.
LESLIE: You see what you want to see. It’s abstract.
BRUCE: What’s that supposed to be?
LESLIE: (looking closely) I think… that’s Perseus.
HARVEY: What’s that?
LESLIE: Oh, he was a hero in Greek mythology.
BRUCE: Why was he a hero?
LESLIE: He was, uh… pretty brave, for starters. He went on dangerous adventures, fighting monsters. But it’s more than that. A lot more. What else makes a hero?
HARVEY: They’re strong.
LESLIE: Hm.
BRUCE: They beat up bad people.
LESLIE: Some do, yeah. But punishing bad guys isn’t what makes a hero, y’know. To be a hero, you have to save people too.
HARVEY: The good people.
LESLIE: Everyone.
LESLIE: Harvey, would you pause that, please? (To Bruce) Put your suitcase down, honey.
LESLIE: Harvey, this is Bruce. Bruce, say hello to Harvey. The two of you are going to be roommates.
(Time passes, Leslie is gone and the boys are alone)
HARVEY: What’re you in here for?
BRUCE: My parents were…
(Pause)
BRUCE: You?
HARVEY: My dad’s…
(Pause)
BRUCE: Hey, what’re you watching?
HARVEY: Uh, Gray Ghost. You seen it?
BRUCE: I, uh… I don’t think so.
HARVEY: ‘S good. I can rewind this so we can watch it together.
BRUCE: Hn.
GRAY GHOST ON TV: There’s an ominous presence in the air tonight, Captain!
BRUCE: (sniffles, breaks down sobbing)
HARVEY: (Concerned, understanding) Hey. You’re okay. You’re okay.
Now who would do such a thing
Harvey & Bruce comforting each other, sharing tears, and protecting each other is all canon to me. But this, this was another level:

Holy fucking shit Arkham Shadow.
I’m so mad this story is buried in a fucking VR game only a fraction of people will play. This is not only the Arkhamverse Harvey story we’ve needed this whole time, but it’s also a damn good take on Harvey that lifts from (and greatly improves upon) elements of Scott Snyder’s “My Own Worst Enemy.” It even does the thing that I so wish the Nolans had done at the climax of The Dark Knight.
God. That ending… I need to stare at a wall for a while.
I know Arkhamverse fans are gonna be divided on this one, between the format and the refreshing, dearly-needed, and almost-complete lack of Joker, so I really hope this reaches the right audiences who can appreciate it for what it is.
Holy shit, Troy Baker. Just…. holy shit.
Yeah, if you’re like most people and not gonna shell out for a fuckin’ Meta contraption, I hugely recommend watching a playthrough. At least until they consider an actually playable release.
Skimmed through a playthrough of Arkham Shadow without sound just to see how big a role Harvey has and I’m now VERY intrigued to properly watch this game ASAP.
WHAT DID THEY DO TO MY MAN? This design of Harvey, I swear. : /
WE DID IT, GILDA/HARVEY SHIPPERS
During the morgue cutscene in Arkham Asylum, the player has to investigate three body bags. It doesn’t actually matter what order you open them in, all three contain the same character until interacted with. The first bag will always be Tomas Wayne, followed by Martha Wayne. Finally, you’ll be greeted with jump scare when the Scarecrow pops out of the third body bag.
But you want to know the best part of all this? For just one single frame while opening Martha’s bag, Scarecrow’s model pops into the scene standing completely vertical with his head spilling out like twinkie filling.
Oh, and Batman is headless. I love videogames.
He’s a burritcrow
