Assassinating Batman in Arkham Origins - IGN

Players will not only see a much more skeptical and potentially hostile Gotham City Police Department (aka the 'GCPD', which happens to feature a young Captain Jim Gordon), but younger and healthier versions of big bad guys like the Penguin - who apparently didn't always have the tail end of a glass bottle shoved in one eye.

While the Montreal studio was free to develop its plot and new feature (like a 'Remote Claw', which allows you to target and pull two objects together), it leaned on Rocksteady for advice on technical and mechanical elements of the game.


Another new feature - quick travel via the airborne Batwing. Though not a controllable vehicle, Arkham Origins will finally eliminate one of the more tedious elements from Asylum and City, allowing Batman to move from point to point much faster than before - - provided he dismantles towers that jam his ability to call in his plane. (Unlike, say, Far Cry 3, these tower sequences will require a wide variety of skills and powers, including some that will have to be unlocked first.) It's a good thing Montreal is providing the Dark Knight with a quick method of transport - WB Montreal contends that Origins is nearly twice the size of Arkham City, adding an entirely new island, called 'New Gotham', to build upon the more familiar 'Old Gotham', which will still feature familiar locations like Amusement Mile and The Bowery.


The Montreal team intends to maintain the same world "density" despite doubling its size, adding ideas like 'Crime in Progress' (assist the GCPD and build your reputation) and 'Most Wanted' (track down non-assassin villains). In many cases these side quests will provide the upgrades to Batman's arsenal. These upgrades, combined with the game's existing XP system, funnel into the larger concept of the 'Dark Knight' system, which is basically the team's way of progressively adding more complexity and difficulty to Origins.

Since it is named Origins - Maybe we can see "Batman without his mask" (for the first time in Arkham series) in BAO.

Not the entire game without his mask..

Since it's named as ORIGINS - There should be a story of him to tell "Why he became Batman". (I mean the intermediate part - FROM where he lost his parents TO the day he became Batman). Get my drift?

Batman won't be Batman without his mask.
He won't wear the suit without the mask; it will be silly :p

But Spiderman did it. Oh wait. Nevermind. It would be silly.

@gearbox it deals with his early days as Batman. Best case, we get to see Bruce Wayne. There is no way we will see Batman without a mask.

at the start of Arkham City Bruce Wayne can be seen without his mask. or you mean something else? though his face was not 100% clear.

We play as Bruce Wayne, we see Bruce Wayne in Bat suit(without mask) in Arkham City. Its not the first time. Btw, this isn't the origin story of Batman, but his early encounters with lot of the villians and the first one with Joker ;)

The new suit looks awesome, good thing they're updating it. As awesome as the two games were, the suit felt really outdated.

Ye. This suit should've been in the previous games and that should've been in this. It's like he had better tech and no experience and somehow decided experience > tech. LOL. :-D

Or, this wasn't flexible enough.

I was thinking of suing rocksteady for the el-crapo el-oldo el-stupido "Dark Knight" skin in Batman:AC
