Today, Gamestop announced what their exclusive content is for the upcoming video game
Batman: Arkham Origins. For the previous Arkham games, Gamestop for the most part has only done mostly challenge map packs but this exclusive is perhaps their best Batman: Arkham exclusive yet. Gamestop has announced that when you pre-order
Batman: Arkham Origins, you get two challenge maps and a playable character. The character's name? Black Mask! This is only the second time in the Arkham series where the main villain is playable. The first was back in
Batman: Arkham Asylum where in the Playstation 3 exclusive, you got to play as the Joker. What are your thoughts about playing as Black Mask in
Batman: Arkham Origins? Comment below. Peace and remember...
The events of Arkham Origins are set several years before Batman: Arkham Asylum, in the middle of winter in fictional Gotham City. Batman is an experienced crime-fighter, but has not yet become the veteran superhero portrayed in Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. He remains a mysterious force with even the police unsure if he is a vigilante, a myth or supernatural. Batman has battled with normal criminals and gangsters and is used to being stronger and faster than his targets, but on a snowy Christmas eve he is confronted with far more dangerous enemies: super villains tasked with killing Batman. The sadistic and brutal Black Mask has placed a bounty on the superhero, and Batman must discover why the villain harbors a deep hatred for him.
