Batman: Arkham Origins

From what we've seen of Bane in the Arkham-verse so far, he's an average strongman, which is supremely disappointing considering how they nailed every other rogue perfectly. We didn't see anything that indicates he's a threat to Batman in this universe, just a grunt. Batman beat him by tricking him into running into a room and locking him in. Not to mention, his dialogue doesn't sound like the tactician he is in the books, and it doesn't reflect the intellect he's supposed to have. He just comes off as a brute. It shows through in his character design...it's just really ridiculous and sort of lazy to me. Everyone else was brilliantly designed (Freeze, Joker, Scarecrow, etc.), and then you have Bane. It just seems like they didn't care about Bane from the get-go.

:up:

I think something like this, http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-2Y4466tHiMA/T2iwR9hMe8I/AAAAAAAAABk/YEEKUZtW2Xo/s1600/Bane1.png would work nicely for Bane, at least size-wise.
 
The one armed thugs that are running around Arkham city have the perfect Bane size. That's what he should look like without Venom. On Venom, you just make him a little buffer.

 
I really hope the Batcave is in AO. Maybe they could have a cut scene of the Batmobile driving there or whatever. It would be cool if all the stuff in the game like bios and such were accessed via the Batcave.

It will probably be there
 
That would be nice.

It would be cool if some of the data-files were connected to trophies in the Cave (the penny, T-rex, and so on.)
 
The latest GameInformer magazine issue has more info on the game than they released before,I'm now totally confident WB Montreal will do this justice and may actually be better than AC!!

The story/characters being handled and new features will all be WB Montreal But the technical aspects and gameplay mechanics will be the same stuff from AA&AC(Rocksteady is helping out with input too),Story sounds great and Batman will be younger and make mistakes But not a noob Batman and will still kick ass and be much more aggressive&wild and seems Blackmask will be a great while Deathstroke..Is Deathstroke which means awesome fights&interactions and maybe the best physical threat so far in terms of hand to hand combat fight scenes!!

There will be side-mission crimes called"Crime in Progress"such as cops being surrounded by large groups of thugs or a snitch about to be tossed off a roof,Doing this will help convince GCPD that your on their side,There will also be a"Most Wanted System"where you can go after villains outside the main story!!

WB is very picky with how their superhero properties are depicted. I mean they essentially banned the superman suit from smallville for like 95% of the show's existence.

I actually think they may not want to have those suits be depicted at all if they aren't seen being worn by the actual actors or their likeness and like we mentioned you'd need the actors permission for that. Otherwise i see no reason why they wouldn't have already released them?

I don't think anyone pushed for it. If WBIE is as hands off as we've heard, and trusted Rocksteady, then they probably wouldn't have forced them to do any TDKR stuff to try and use that as a marketing tool for the film. And, I could see Rocksteady not wanting to confuse people into thinking that AC was an adaptation of TDKR with there being skin that looked like Christian Bale as Batman floating around.

I'm not sure if that's the reasoning for why it never happened, but I think it's possible. Keeping a distance between the game and the movie, that are each doing their own things, could have been reason enough not to do it.

That and there wasn't a demand for it until after the game had been released. I could see the demand for it after AC's release carrying over into this, and maybe Origins will have it because of it.

It has to be in AO.
 
Still loving the Christmas Eve setting. Great idea.

Reminds me of one of my favorite bat-films Batman Returns. I hope we get to see the bat and cat's first meeting I really want to play as Catwoman too though.
 
IF Selina/Catwoman is in then I'm expecting her to be a side-mission in the"Most Wanted System"where you have to chase her on roof-tops and meet for the first time,I'd love it IF it'd be similar to how they met in Batman Returns.

This.

Personally, I would not mind an appearance by the Batskiboat, as well.


After reading Game Informer's articles, I even more excited about the game. The side missions really have me pumped; October cannot arrive soon enough.
 
The levels from the live demo that GameInformer played sounds f'n awesome,I can't wait to do what they played and hear&see thing they did!!

I would like that. These two meeting for the first time would be a whole bunch of fun, especially in the manner you describe. I enjoyed playing as Catwoman in AC and hope she’s back. I’d be interested in what suit she’d wear, given the AC suit was modelled after a prison jumpsuit. I suppose it could still be something similar.

The more I hear about this game, the more I’m on board. How at this point in time, Black Mask is king. He has his steel mill and signs around town. He was a force at one point, as the game will explore. Making him the main big bad is exciting and legitimate in the context of the story.

I hope for a demo to come on Steam, or I will be annoyed
 
I hope there's access to the Batcave and a side mission or two with the Batmobile.
 
The Storyline Of Batman: Arkham Origins,New interview video
http://www.gameinformer.com/b/featu...7/the-storyline-of-batman-arkham-origins.aspx

Clashes between young Bruce&younger Alfred should be interesting,It's good they got inspired by the Batman:Year One and Legends of the Dark Knight comics
yeah in a way it is. I just find it funny that people are saying this is the time before the freaks cause Black mask( his mask is his real face and he can't remove it and and look what happens when you try to punch him there and he has another surprise as well for ya ) Death stroke ( Evil version of captain America or Cap gone bad with being turned superhuman as his back ground tells ya ) and Bane (you know the deal with him and venom)are the freaks as much as bat's more known Rogues . more so then they are just not afraid of him. Any way it'll be interesting.

It doesn't look like the Batmobile will feature in that way. We'll probably see it in the Batcave and maybe a cutscene if we're lucky, but right now it looks like we'll just be getting the Batwing and we're not able to pilot that either.
 
Young Bruce and Alfred clashing sounds good for this story. Should be interesting.
 
so Joker and other known villains might be in the game apparently:
A Batman: Arkham Origins promotional standee has revealed new villains expected to appear in the game. A photo provided to CVG shows off The Joker, Scarecrow, Bane and Killer Croc in addition to the previously confirmed Deathstroke (CVG also claims to see Deadshot on the poster, though we haven’t spotted him ourselves).

Alrighty, here's something very interesting...

I see Deadshot at the bottom left, Bane (I think) in middle, and Deathstroke on the right. I can also see Joker and Scarecrow towards the top, but everything else is too blurry.

That logo reminds me of Batman Returns.

So I guess this is Bane, based on Nolan's version? If so, I guess I'm ok with it. Honestly, if it means having a normal sized Bane, I'm actually perfectly fine with it.
