Glad that Deathstroke (aka 'Slade' from Teen Titans) isn't the big bad, cause he sorta seems like a Robin/B-Team villain ever since he was featured on the CW cartoon. Why should his mistreatment in some crappy anime butchering of Teen Titans dictate his use as a villain in respectable adaptations? That'd be like writing off Mr. Freeze and Bane because of Batman & Robin.

That'd be like writing off Mr. Freeze and Bane because of Batman & Robin. Mistreatment? Did you even watch the Teen Titans cartoon? He was a f***ing evil badass in the show. Was he the merciless calculating assassin to end all assassins that he is in the comics? No, no he wasn't, but he was still a diabolically planning evil, evil man, and one of the best episodes of the show was the one where Robin was being haunted by his ghost. And honestly, if they don't get Ron Perlman to voice him in this game, I'm going to be kind of let down. The disturbingly calm voice he used for Deathstroke/Slade was just great.

^Isnt Perlman still busy on SOA? Are they currently filming right now? Perlman has been "busy" with SoA for years now and still has appeared in other works. It isn't like his schedule is nothing but SoA. Voice recording for Deathstroke shouldn't take him too long. If it took more than a few days, I would be shocked, and that is if Deathstroke has several hours worth of dialogue in this game.

I'd be pumped if Tallyman was in the game. I really want Tallyman in a Batman game to gain some recognition and perhaps return to the daggone comics and get a new life.

Deathstroke is a fantastic villain. I like his character better in the comics vs. Teen Titans cartoon, but Slade was pretty great in his own right there.

I think it's totally a comics vs animated series thang. I guess in terms of a kid growing up on Batman TAS, having Slade be Robin's (granted, the entire Titans'-- but remember this is kid logic) nemesis felt like it was a sidekick nemesis. His name censor as well aided in me thinking 'Slade' isn't very menacing way before I found out his true name was Deathstroke (plus they had him cracking jokes like a good guy if I recall correctly, 'Slade' didn't seem on the Batman's level the way he barely hangs with Robin half the time.)

I'm wondering why they are going the prequel route if the Joker isn't going to be in the game? And why call it "Arkham Origins" if it features the more "sane" villians. I've a feeling this is just the tip of the iceberg of the story.

The thing is even in the comics he is primarily a Titans villain above all else. Yes he'll meddle in the business of the main heroes from time to time, but the majority of his best and most prominent tales revolve around the Titans, and considering the Titans are almost entirely comprised of sidekicks.....yeah, he's primarily a sidekick villain with the occasional upgrade to primary villain. He could fight the primary heroes if he wanted, he just rather fight the teen/young adult sidekicks more. Plus it is kind of hinted that he holds back every time he fights the Titans both in the cartoon and comics. He could easily take them out, but doesn't.

I know the game is gonna be good, but I wish they continued from where City left off. There were so many good storylines that would work even without the Joker's presence

There's so many loose ends to tie up in Arkham City, that it's really sad they went with a prequel instead. Will Ras be back? Will Talia be back? What's the deal with Azreal? What's the deal with the Scarecrow? What about Croc? What's going to happen to the villains that are all pretty much still free in Arkham city (though beat up for sure) including Penguin, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze, and Mad Hatter? What's going to happen with Hush? Will that tiny little frail looking "prison" really hold Bane for long? I'm sure I'm missing other things, but I have to admit I'd rather go forward with the story rather than back. I don't really care, at this moment, how Batman first met all these guys, nor do I really give a crap that Joker might not be able to be in a sequel game. I guess a lot of these stories are continued/concluded/told in the comics (Hush, Azreal, ect) but I just enjoy playing the games.

Hurray! Still wary about the game because of the no Rocksteady, no Dini, and possible multiplayer, though.
Also, the bigger story here is that Deathstroke will be playable in some capacity, according to that link.

Yeah, I'm not buying this game entirely because I want story progression. I really don't at all give a damn about any of this, particularly about seeing a game headlined by a guy whose only role in the series so far was throwing a chair and getting tased (Black Mask was all kinds of awesome in Under the Red Hood, but still, that has no bearing on his depiction in this series), and Arkham City has plenty of leads following up on it I do care about. Might be missing out on a good game, but whatever, I've missed out on plenty and I might as well use my money on some game or other I actually will care about.

I know it sounds sad, but if Conroy wasn't on board, I probably wouldn't buy it. He'll always be Batman to me.

I'm sure the game will be good but... I'm just not a big fan of prequel stories.
There's less interest in them for me because I kinda know how things are gonna turn out. Whose gonna live, whose gonna die etc. Would prefer the Arkham story to continue rather than it being a prequel series.

Holy shit. That looks awesome. I hope that playing as Deathstroke is full blown, and not just some crappy challenge missions.
