“I made a PROMISE to a ten-year-old boy! He was a little kid, whose parents were taken from him, by this monster!
This is for Bruce Wayne.”
He’s the best…😭😭😭
I got to draw Arkham Shadow Harvey, I must
(In Leslie’s office, while she works at her desk, Bruce and Harvey play-fight as the Gray Ghost and an unnamed villain)
HARVEY: “You don’t think this is gonna stop me, Gray Ghost?!”
BRUCE: “I made an oath to protect the people of Gotham!” (Grunts)
HARVEY: (scoffs) “You couldn’t save anyone even if you tried! You hide like a coward and watch their suffering!”
(Pause. Bruce punches Harvey, who falls to the floor.)
BRUCE: Take that back!
LESLIE: (standing up) Hey—!
HARVEY: He hit me!
LESLIE: —Cut it out!
BRUCE: … Take it back.
HARVEY: (stammering) I was only saying what they said on the show…!
BRUCE: Take that back or you’ll be sorry!
LESLIE: Stop it! (Softer) That’s enough playing for one day.
HARVEY: He hit me!
LESLIE: (helping Harvey up) It was an accident, Harvey. Apologize, Bruce.
BRUCE: Someday… the bad people will get what they deserve. I will hunt him down and make. Him. Pay.
LESLIE: (appalled) Bruce! Sit down!
(Pause. Bruce sits. Another pause)
HARVEY: … I’ll help you find the person who took your parents. And you can make him pay.
LESLIE: All right, stop it! Listen to me, both of you. What you’re talking about is revenge.
LESLIE: That’s not justice.

ARKHAM SHADOW: Just the Bruce/Harvey scenes
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.

Some quick Arkham: Shadow Harvey-based sketches because I am still reeling. Spoilers so it's cut off.
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.
