Batman : Arkham Origins (2013) Asylum Prequel

[Ex-Parrot]

I imagine that Deathstroke DLC is just challenge mode content.

As far as playable Deathstroke goes, does anyone think that would be an awesome story mission? I think it'd be awesome if the shoe was on the other foot and we got to experience what it's like to be going toe to toe with Batman. We can't win the battle, but we can see just how long we can last.

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Deathstroke is the one adversary Batman has never beaten in a fair fight. Deathstroke has always beaten him. And since this is pre-prime Batman, I'd actually be surprised if Batman beats Deathstroke. Deathstroke should BEAT Batman in the game with Batman escaping on a technicality.

I imagine that Deathstroke DLC is just challenge mode content.

Definitely.

The Deathstroke DLC is good news. Glad Amazon is getting a decent exclusive this time. The lack of any exclusive for them for Injustice really sucked. I pretty much get all of my games from Amazon unless Gamestop gets an exclusive Lego figure for a Lego game. You can't DLC a figure later afterall

I just hope the DLC is included with the collector's edition too. I've gotten the CE for the past two Arkham games and I doubt this one will be any different.

Same here. The first time, I went with GameStop, and the second time, I went with Best Buy. Depending on what I see from other retailers, there might be no midnight launch in store for me this time around, as I don't believe there's an Amazon store around me.

Definitely.

Well, even better, then; how cool would it be if we could go toe-to-toe with Batman and beat him? It actually might work better than a boss battle with Deathstroke. Frankly, though, I'm just happy to see another Batman Christmas story. Looks like I'll have something to add to my tradition [of reading Batman:Noël and watching Christmas with the Joker and Batman Returns].

Awesome news about Conroy.

I hope they make a batman vs deathstroke statue cause that trailer kicks all kinds of ***. Watched it so many times.

 

[Ktjn]

I'll wait and see who has the best deal/price, if bb has the 20 rz cert and some decent dlc, I'll go with them.

SYNOPSIS

You've experienced the terror and mayhem of Batman: Arkham Asylum. You've battled Gotham's most sinister, lethal and forbidding villains in Batman: Arkham City. You've studied the psyche of the Dark Knight and immersed yourself in his quest to protect Gotham that you became the Caped Crusader every time you played the game. But there's one facet of Batman that you haven't yet experienced. One area that has remained in shadow — his past.

Experience an original prequel storyline set before the events in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. Watch the story unfold as Batman transforms from a crime fighter into the Dark Knight. Become a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career that determines his fate and leads him to meet many important characters for the first time and forge key relationships that shape his destiny.

Could it be? Are they really going to offer the same Pre-order bonuses everywhere? That would be amazing and solve a lot of problems.

Conroy back?

My body is ready.

That's a great trailer, but I wished Batman actually spoke.

 

[ironwez20]

That whole trailer destroyed everything in the dark knight rises. Game looks beast.

Beat me to it. This is much more exciting than sitting trough TDKR!

 

[Hologram AI]

That's a great trailer, but I wished Batman actually spoke.

Kevin is still voicing him so it's not much to worry about.

Wish they made a movie in CGI based around this storyline.

 

[Russell1982]

Came here to ask how come the trailer still wasn't up yet. And low and behold here it is. Haha. Awesome stuff. Really pumped for this game (like I wasn't already). Something about batman at Christmas in the snow always works for me. And the fight scene is better than any of the fight scenes in the movies. I'm aware of deathstroke but have never read any stories with him. Seems like he's gonna be an amazing character in the game at least though. Anyone else think batman's face, what we can see of it anyway, looked like bale at times?

According to an article on ign bane and joker are in this. Joker is voiced by Troy baker and batman is voiced by roger Craig smite

[Russell1982]

Bane could be really cool given the premise of the game. I was actually thinking, being that its early in his career, that it'd be cool to just see joker at the end kind of showing up, just seeing him emerging as the game finishes. Sort of a nod to what's to come.

Odd. That is the only source that says so. NAG magazine stated that they might be looking for a younger voice actor but if you watch the video above, Kevin stated that he was doing Batmans voice for a Batman game for the past 10 months or so.

Man, the more I see it the more I'm loving the origins bat suit. Really hoping hot toys makes this version, but only after we finally get the Arkham city version.

Anyone else catch the green arrow reference?

 

[Seph Stampede]

Perhaps Conroy is voicing an older Batman and Origins is set in his narrative? Or perhaps Rocksteady are working on a next-gen true sequel to Arkham City and Conroy's voicing Bats in it.
