Black Mask Deathstroke Deadshot Hints of more Oh my... Wait...those weren't actors playing the parts of the characters, that was the graphics in the game?? HOLY CRAP!!!! Even if all my misgivings turn out to be true, at least this game will look gorgeous.

Graphics will still be incredible, just not what the trailer looks like. I wish they would start doing graphics like that for full blown Batman movies though, that would be incredible.

Awesome trailer,can't wait for more...
BUT bad news,Conroy IS NOT the main voice actor for Batman in this game,courtesy of IGN...
"Update: Contrary to what we reported earlier, it seems Kevin Conroy will not be returning as the main voice actor for Batman in Arkham Origins. A Warner Bros. spokesperson provided IGN with the following statement: "Roger Craig Smith is confirmed as the voice of Batman and Troy Baker is confirmed as the voice of The Joker in Batman: Arkham Origins."

Aww... Don't ruin The Joker's arc. {Spoiler}After Arkham City, The Joker should be put to rest in these games.

No Conroy!?
I hope that they can manage to bring him in. He IS Batman to me.

Yeah, Conroy tweeted that what he said in Dallas was that he was working on a new Arkham game coming soon... not Arkham Origins coming this fall.

Just a cool little idea I had, but I think we should get a side mission where a break-in is reported at Ace Chemicals, and when we get there, we have to fight the Red Hood and a few thugs. Upon beating them, he tries to run, and falls into a chemical vat, being presumed dead.
Just a small reference, but I think it'd be cool.

I'm personally opposed to having Joker anywhere near this series again (though that Red Hood idea would be pretty cool), but if he just sounds and acts exactly like Pyrrhon that might make me interested. Mostly because you know if Joker's involved he's going to hijack the plot entirely so there'd be a lot of him.

I think whether I get this game or not will depend entirely on whether the stupid Riddler fetch quest is in it. Arkham Asylum was bad enough for it, but Arkham City turned it up to 20.

Eh the side missions are not required so I don't see the big deal. If you don't want to do them you can simply ignore them and stick with the main story.

In my idea, there'd be no mention apart from that, maybe a few minor, scannable clues, such as the Red Hood helmet lying around somewhere, "HAHAHA" carved into a wall next to it or something. Work off the implications, rather then outright stating it.

Part of it is me just absolutely loathing collection quests in games when they serve no purpose but to pad trophy counts and hastily add something to do in endgame. But in City it really hurt the atmosphere of the game to believe that Riddler was able to infiltrate every single locale on the map, past every villain's thugs, past the League of Shadows, into the most obscure places that he couldn't possibly reach without the exact same tools that Batman had, and then be shocked with the toys Batman had. Not to mention he felt the need to test Catwoman for some completely unexplained reason. In Asylum it was at least more understandable to put it in places, City really stretched that to the point I just couldn't get past it. The twists they had with the deathtraps and the riddles was really cool, and if his sidequest was that, it'd be great. I hate having to go hunt down trophies to get to play those parts though.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the Riddler himself did it. It could very well may have been some of his thugs (that he had infiltrated on every gang in the city, I might add (won't count the League of Shadows, cause that's not really a gang, but then again all his trophies were in Wonder City, not the Hall, so he could've arranjed some sort of trip down there in the time he was in Arkham City)) that put them there. Or it's just a videogame and it gets into the "stairs that lead nowhere" in Castlevania

Or it's just a videogame and it gets into the "stairs that lead nowhere" in Castlevania It was still in some places people wouldn't be able to reach without at least climbing equipment, and he was shocked that Batman had such equipment. I mean, really, you found these old ancient ruin underneath Gotham, you had some guy get across this giant pit to put a trophy on a ledge with absolutely no walkway to it, and then you're shocked that Batman could somehow do the same thing? Or the fact that there are all these glowing statues that no one seems to care about, even though all the villains hate each other and presumably that'd include Riddler. And does he have a freeze gun to put the ones in the block of ice? Yeah, I know, he could have just frozen then, but it was just another thing that took me out of the game when I was getting them. There are so many of these things that you have to get to get to the actual fun puzzles that it was more frustrating than it needed to be. And yeah, it is a comic book game and I am overthinking it in a series with a shapeshifting clay monster, but it still just doesn't fit right with the setting for me and took me out of the game. And there were so many of these things in Arkham City that it was impossible to avoid altogether. Also, I hated the Catwoman segments. It was being forced to play as a less-adequate sidekick just after playing as the really cool and capable character.

If I am not mistaken they changed him.....er.....her, as a result of the DC higher ups loving the hell out of her character design in this game.
