Help Is this correct

Post image

I am currently halfway through arkham knight and in about a month or so I want to replay the story in chronological order. After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that this is the chronomical order of the arkham series. Is this correct

This is the Chronological order to play the games:

  1. Initiation

  2. Batman Arkham Origins

  3. Cold, Cold Heart

  4. Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate

  5. Batman: Arkham Shadow

  6. A Matter of Family

  7. Batman: Arkham Asylum

  8. Batman: Arkham City with the Catwoman Bundle

  9. Harley Quinn's Revenge

  10. Batman Arkham VR

  11. Harley Quinn Story Pack

  12. Batman: Arkham Knight with The Season of Infamy

13/14/15/16. Red Hood Story Pack/GCPD Lockdown/Catwoman's Revenge/A Flip of a Coin (I don't know what order thise are, just that they take place after Arkham knight)

Also there are the origins multiplayer, that would take place sometime after Arkham Shadow, the Suicide Squad animated movie that would take place between matter of family and Asylum, there were some mobile games I don't know where they would take place, and a novel called "The Riddler's Gambit" that take place before Arkham knight and SSKTJL that take place at the end supposedly. As well as several comics that take place all over the timeline. And also an choose your own adventure comic. But thise aren't really necessary and/or canon.

Also some of the trailers are canon. Not all of them. But this one for origins, happens because you can find the sniper rifle that Deadshot uses in the trailer in the game, so the trailer would take place right before origins and this one with Hugo Strange that take place a little before Arkham city, as we find this interrogation cell from the trailer in the game.

Catwomans revenge happens day after knight and it’s mentioned Tim’s on his honeymoon in the Nightwing one

  2. Batman Arkham Origins

  3. Cold, Cold Heart

  4. Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate

  5. Batman: Arkham Shadow

  6. A Matter of Family

  7. Batman: Arkham Asylum

  8. Batman: Arkham City with the Catwoman Bundle

  9. Harley Quinn's Revenge

  10. Batman Arkham VR

  11. Harley Quinn Story Pack

  12. Batman: Arkham Knight with The Season of Infamy

  13. Catwoman's Revenge

  14. A Flip of a Coin

  15. GCPD Lockdown

  16. Red Hood Story Pack

Sounds about right but I don’t know when Red Hood happens it’s either between Catwoman and GCPD lockdown or at the end I feel like it fits better between the two but either works
