Official Full Trailer

Release date; October 25th 2013. So...is it October yet? Hopefully it ties in well with the previous 2 games, it would be fun to play them in order and have it feel like one fluid trilogy.

Looks great.

Deathstroke is insanely awesome. Really happy that Kevin Conroy is returning as Batman. The Joker has been confirmed for this too

Actually, I read an article on CBR last night that Mr Conroy tweeted that he is coming back for another Arkham game but NOT the one coming out this fall. It was then removed.

Aww ...

Roger Craig Smith as Bats then. Troy Baker is Joker... he voiced Two Face in AC and Nightwing in Injustice. Should be interesting.

ill definitely want to try it, i just hope it doesnt feel too similar to the 2 previous arkham games. everything is like that now, new games that dont have a number or some subtitle in its title...or both, seems so rare these days.

I'M SO PSYCHED! PRE-ORDERING!

I'm cautiously excited for Origins...
First, Rocksteady isn't making it. It's being made by Warner Bros. Montreal and all they've ever done is the port of Batman Arkham City to the Wii U...
I mean, I'll be honest; outside of the Arkham games, I can't think of one Batman game I've ever liked... But apparently WB Montreal are more or less leaving things the same in terms of combat and whatnot, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Second off.. No Kevin Conroy as Batman. What.
The guy has done Batman in just about anything and everything animated since the 90's and to NOT hear his voice is gonna be a little weird...
Same thing with Mark Hamill, even though he's told us he's retired from doing the voice of the Joker. He was perfect for it, I don't know if anyone will ever be able to pull it off the same
Though Troy Baker is an excellent VA so it'll be interesting to see how he portrays the Joker.

That being said though, Origins is still looking awesome.
Deathstroke being in it just gave it 1000 points of coolness, because the guy is an absolute badass.

And that trailer was pretty damn sick. I'm a little psyched just off watching it.
Fingers crossed WB Montreal can do a good job on this.

Gameplay trailer, and we get to hear a snippet of the new (younger) voices of Batman and Joker.

definitely want to play this as i loved the other 2 games. i just hope its not too similar to those. that seems to happen with everything now. ill think its good but ill feel like i am playing a game i have already played. everything seems to have a number in the title or be a part of some already existing series.

Looks great i really need to play the previous games as i have them but never played it yet.

This game is awesome, bought it on Friday and have been enjoying it. New developer, new voice actors, new writers even and they've kept the core of what made the other two games by Rocksteady great. I dare say this game is even better. I love some of Batman's new gadgets. You just wouldn't want to play this game first (since it's a prequel) then Arkham Asylum because Asylum might disappoint you with the restrictions it will seem to have, being the original Arkham game. WB Montreal have built on the improvements made with Arkham City. If you've watched the Animated Series you might hear a voice from it that will be very familiar, someone from the Batman comics that has been missing from the Arkham games.

I really want to play it as I loved both the previous games in the series. I've been seeing that a decent number of reviews on it are saying that it's too similar to the previous games, and giving it a lower score at times because of that. Yet I bet that those same sites and people have given each Call of Duty like a 9 or 10 each year even though they have all been practically the same game every year.
