Batman: Arkham Origins - Part 3

[cryptic name]

The Azrael stuff seemed like the biggest hint at the story coming. Scarecrow and Hush will undoubtedly play roles, but I think the main thrust will be "Gothamn burning".

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

I think Ra's Al Ghul would have suited that theme more... He was completely wasted in Arkham City.

 

[the last son]

Yea they dropped the ball and downplayed so many great villains. Two face, , bane, black mask. Can't complain about their use of strange. I thought his buildup was great. ras was ok to me to. He wanted strange to prove himself worthy.

 

[jacobed]

Ras seemed to hint that he had a bigger plan and Strange was only the first piece. I'd love to see where that goes as well as Azrael and Scarecrow

 

[The Caped Knight]

I wonder if the next DC Assassins to be revealed is Green Arrow's Nemesis Merlin : The Dark Archer.

 

[Midnite]

Found this on while looking for concept designs. Just wanted to share.

I wonder if the next DC Assassins to be revealed is Green Arrow's Nemesis Merlin : The Dark Archer.

Never considered Merlyn, but he would be a cool addition. I like the idea of someone using arrows and edged weapons, just to change it up. I would also like to see a martial artist to pit Bats against, since they have that new enemy combat martial artist system. So David Cain or Lady Shiva, like I said before. Maybe even Bronze Tiger or Richard Dragon. And maybe this is a pipe dream, but it would be awesome to use The Phantasm or even the Reaper as one of the assassins.

You know who would also be a cool addition if they could successfully differentiate him from Bane? The KGBeast. They'd have to make his design a little less leather slave, but he's a cool character from a great story and a serious threat for The Batman.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Wow... that's a little kinky.

I've never seen that before.

 

[Nathan]

I prefer this design.

Yeah I loved the Azrael stuff at the end of the side-quest and Scarecrow was something I greatly missed in Arkham City. I would love Ras to be revealed to have multiple Lazarus Pits and come back to wreak havoc in the sequel.

 

[SpideyForPrez]

How are people getting invites for the multiplayer beta? If it's not too late I'd like to sign up for that. Or did you have to subscribe to some Arkham City newsletter or something way back?

Don't forget his body was gone once you beat the game, and considering who he is it's easy to assume he could return.

They can always bring those characters back though. I mean this is an origins game. It might be fun to have a level where you train with ra's

 

[zeptron]

Wasn't it confirmed that Harvey Dent would appear in Origins? Maybe it'll show how he became Two-Face.

 

[Two-Face]

I think he was mentioned in Black Mask's Bio or Hugo Strange's Bio.

 

[Spider-Vader]

I prefer this design.

That costume looks AWFULLY familiar. But I can't placed finger on where I've seen it before. Hrm...

 

[Hunter Rider]

I prefer this design.

Is that from BTAS?

 

[zenith16]

I think that was from JL/JLU episode. He was in the Legion of Doom there.

 

[cryptic name]

Wow... that's a little kinky.

I've never seen that before.

The costume design was...bold...but the story is really cool and he's a great character. Always one step ahead of Batman and a physical match.

 

[I'm Venom]

With the Black Mask and Deathstroke DLC being announced as bonuses for pre-ordering, wonder if it's possible to play as Deathstroke in the Black Mask challenge maps?

Catwoman was playable in all of Arkham City's maps, but Joker only was in Joker's maps in Arkham Asylum.

From the DLC press release:

Deathstroke will come complete with his own unique weapons and special moves, and will be playable in all challenge maps in the game, as well as two additional challenge maps that will be included with the pack...The pack will also contain two alternate Deathstroke character skins.

I just hope that there's some kind of payoff between Black Mask and Deathstroke after their exchange in the trailer. If not, I'll take care of it in a Black Mask challenge map with Deathstroke myself!

In regards to Arkham 3, I hope they do not have the plotline(s) involving Joker and Quinn dominate the narrative. Harley's Revenge DLC and Endgame wrapped everything up nicely; I would not mind having her as a side mission, or second or third tier villain (referring to screentime/gametime.) I would like to see Scarecrow and Hush's plans expanded upon: I imagine the Scarecrow's aim is citywide, while Hush's is personal (sabotage at Wayne E.? destroying Bruce's public image?)

Well, Joker's dead and hopefully he stays that way. I could see Harley Quinn returning though since she is such a popular character, though she serves little purpose without the Joker. But yeah, City clearly hinted at future story paths with Hush, Azrael, and the brief Scarecrow easter eggs. I suppose that game will have to come with the new generation of consoles.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

They could go for a Return of the Joker vibe in order to bring The Joker back... and with all the clues dropped in Harley Quinn's revenge, I don't think Rocksteady are entirely done with the Joker.
