When it was confirmed that the Joker would be in
Batman: Arkham Origins, some fans on here weren't happen for some reason which seemed odd and dumb. Me? I was happy that the Clown was back and now we find out he's just as deadly. With the game taking place on Christmas Eve, you know the Joker will have all sorts of gifts for Gotham.
One of those gifts is a set of explosives that are tied to a nearby building that go off. So where was Batman to stop the bombs? Well Batman was disarmed and stunned by what is said to be a more leaner and more true-to-the-comics Bane. Joker mocks and taunts Batman before setting off the bombs and Batman can do nothing but watch in the horror as an another landmark structure crumbles at the hands of a Joker.
This Batman, is described as being more primal, more vicious -- his fighting style raw and unrefined. Just as his enemies are younger and more vibrant, so is Batman. If you look at his suit, you will see that it resembles the Christopher Nolan’s films than anything we’ve seen in previous games. But despite all of these mostly thematic changes, much of what Batman: Arkham Origins is built upon is very, very familiar.
Warner wouldn’t confirm just how significant of a role Joker will have in the game, so it remains to be seen if there’s more to Origins than a lesser known mobster with a grudge. What are your thoughts about the Joker & Bane joining forces to cause chaos and destruction to Gotham and Batman? 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
