Kai Cenat has definitely embraced streaming marathons. His recent run through the Batman: Arkham video game series was a real show, drawing in massive crowds and seriously boosting his follower count. Now, he's closer than ever to finally claiming third place on the platform for followers.
As always, Kai Cenat didn’t just play, he put on a full-scale production. From costumes and props (even a Batmobile!) to streaming setups that perfectly recreated iconic spots like Bruce Wayne’s garage and the legendary Batcave, he went all out to bring the Batman universe to life. Even more impressively, Variety reports that Warner Bros. Pictures had no hand in the production: Cenat made it all happen on his own.
Cenat’s marathon covered all four main games in the series: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins, and Arkham Knight. Naturally, there were some unforgettable intermissions, like hilarious moments with Robin, played by Lil Rodney, and brief sleep breaks: Kai never stopped the stream until he had beaten all four titles.
Completing all the games took Kai almost 100 hours, and according to Streams Charts, nearly 3.5 million people tuned in during that time. His average concurrent viewership throughout the marathon was an impressive 69,900 viewers (even with sleep breaks!), and the peak viewership hit 141,600 viewers, which happened at the very start of the marathon.
The longest game for Kai was the final part of the series, Arkham Knight, which took him almost 15 hours to complete. The title with the most engaged viewers was Arkham City; during that playthrough, his average viewership hit 95,900, 2.9% higher than Arkham Asylum, which came in second.
The Batman series marathon is far from Kai's first in the last year or so. From 2024 to the present, he’s hosted eight marathons, with the record-breaking Mafiathon 2 being the most successful. In terms of total watch time, the Batman: Arkham series marathon ranks fifth, following the first Mafiathon and both Elden Ring marathons, as well as the hilarious Fortnite Battle Royale hunt with Darren “IShowSpeed” Watkins Jr.
Throughout the Batman marathon, Kai gained over 200,000 new followers, significantly narrowing the gap between him and Raul "Auronplay" Alvarez, who currently sits in third place on Twitch’s most-followed list. Alvarez adds around 1,000 followers per stream, so if Kai keeps pumping out incredible content at the same pace, he’ll soon overtake the Spanish streamer.
While Kai was undoubtedly one of Twitch’s biggest stars last week, his content didn’t even make it to the top spot in terms of peak concurrent viewers. That honour went to the Polish Twitch community, where a local streamer award show became a massive hit.
