Description Hello DA! it's me, Ark. Who doesn't love a good origin story? That's what we get with one of the most underrated (in my own opinion) games of the entire Arkhamverse series, 'Batman: Arkham Origins'. The game that shows how Batman the Joker met for the first time, and the first Batman Arkham game to introduce Deathstroke! Yay!

The plot takes place before Batman was allied with the police and worked around his own agenda. The gangster Black Mask on Christmas eve hires several assassins to kill the Batman and receive fifty million dollars as a reward. These assassins are Deathstroke, Firefly, Copperhead, Deadshot, Electrocutioner, Lady Shiva, Killer Croc, and Bane. But as Batman delves further into his hunt for the assassins, he discovers the true mastermind behind the hiring of these mercenaries is far more deadly and insane than any other villain he's faced in his entire life.

Storywise, it's pretty good, and so is Batman's suit that he wore in his early years of being the Dark Knight, looks very military based and looks incredibly awesome. Not to mention we get the Batman: Noel, Injustice, and Dark Knight Rises suits as hidden goodies for doing certain things in the game to unlock them as well as several others.

DLC missions are good too, such as the Deathstroke and Mr. Freeze missions that take place around before or after the events of this game. Multiplayer gameplay allows you to play as either Batman or Robin (Dick Grayson). Side missions allow you to face familiar faces such as the Mad Hatter, The Riddler, and Anarky as well as the Penguin making one or two appearances throughout the story and DLC missions too.

So in conclusion, it's not THAT bad as far as some other who will have their own personal little gripes about the game will tell you, but it's worth playing and finding out what's in store for yourself.

the one thing i never understood was shiva. i wasn't sure who she is cause i never really read batman comics but It seems she omes out of nowhere.
copperhead was pretty interesting. she's kinda like a muted version of scarecrow

Ark: lady Shiva I believe was a lady assassin, I never knew if she was a member of the league of assassins

Ark: in the comics she trains Tim Drake, in Infinite Crisis I mean. So if you read that you'd understand where she comes from and who she is. Also, am I the only one who thought Bane was a B***H to take out in this version?
