Batman: Arkham Origins

[EWB's Best Poster.]

I agree with you nick there's an awful lot of content coming out for vita lately.

Since that was a huge factor to some, its library size, I'm kinda glad for the boost.

If the Batman of Origins is "Batman 5.0" and the Batman of Arkham City was "Batman 0.9", did Batman get worse as he aged? Because Origins is supposed to take place two years after Bruce assumes the mantle of Batman, and City presumably takes place after that. >_>

[=BK=]

"The top assassins from the DC Comics Universe". So Deathstroke and Deadshot? I can't think of any other big villans known as assassins.

[MalaCloudy Black]

There's a number of League of Assassins agents they could use, especially since the League is so closely tied to Batman in almost all Batman media. Then there's characters like Tigress and Cheshire too.

I'd looove to see Deathstroke as a villain. I really enjoyed how they used him in Injustice, a similar portrayal would be awesome.

[Maxx]

If they're using the DC Universe's greatest assassins and don't include David Cain, I shall be very sad.

You've read it back to front, it says Origins 0.9, City 5.0.

Best dc assassin?

Deadpool

[Nick Adams]

That would be Deathstroke, methinks. Deadpool is Marvel.

Nick... That's the joke.

I'm deadpool 4th wall breaking.

IGN has a 40 second teaser.

Also, full trailer premieres the 20th of May.

AHH SWEET JESUS.

Why do these games just keep getting more fuckin' hype each time!?

[TKz]

Waaaaaaay more interested in this than I was in City. The fact it's out of Gotham (As if they didn't beat us over the head enough with it, it's set in Star City.) is kind of a blessing too. Shame they can't ditch the Arkham name, because it probably won't make much sense in this one. Totally up for seeing the adaptions of guys like Deadshot, Black Mask and fucking Deathstroke. I really hope we see a bit more of an extended DC Universe in the game from this. I want Green Arrow to show up and lend a hand, that'd be fucking sweet. If not Green Arrow, the least they could do is feature Nightwing in some capacity. They're going a different route with the villains, that's awesome. Now let's see some new heroes.

They totally need to make a Batman: Arkham Asylum sized game surrounding some other DC heroes. Makes you hope that the Deadpool game sells big - could open the doors for a whole bunch of other lesser known hero based games.

I can see Green Arrow, but I honestly don't see Nightwing, I mean, isn't this game set only two years after Bruce dons the cowl? Way too early for Nightwing to show up, storywise. Also, wasn't Deadshot in Arkham City as well, as a mini-boss?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Erm, it's in Gotham? It's set in New and Old Gotham, Old Gotham being the part of the city that was cordoned off as Arkham City. Where did you hear/see that it was set in Star City?

[TKz]

It is? Is that confirmed? There's what looks like a Star City Bridge in the background, as well as the container being from Queen Industries. And yeah, good point on Nightwing.

One of the big features that sets Arkham Origins apart is its midwinter Christmas setting. The game picks up on a cold and forbidding Christmas Eve night in Gotham City.

I think you're just looking far too much into what's most likely just a nod to the expanded DC Universe with the Queen Industries container.

[TKz]

Ah man. I was actually kind of more excited in the game being taken out of Gotham. The idea of Batman being a bit more isolated, away from his home sounded fun.

[Colly]

Worth reading anything from the green Queen toolbox?

I've heard baaaad things about the Deadpool game, don't hold your breath.
