The DEVIL in Batman: Arkham Knight Analysis

When first putting this Batman Arkham Knight analysis together, I didn’t think that Arkham Origins would have such a profound impact on the series. It turns out that I was wrong. I appreciate Origins more now for how it contrasts young Batman’s behaviors with veteran Batman and sheds light on the psychological and religious journey Batman goes through in fighting the Devil within himself. What do I mean, and how does Arkham Origins fit into the big picture more appropriately? This video and a well-known Apostle will explain it all.

Quick correction: the excerpt from Paul to the Ephesians is Chapter 12, not Chapter 2. The verses are still correct.
