DC and Warner Bros's revival of Batman's popularity in gaming continues with Batman: Arkham Origins. Despite being the third installment it is set years before its predecessors, which are only a few months apart. As the title suggests, it is an origins story of sorts. It is set within the earlier years of Batman, on the night that his name first became known to the entire city.
As before, the events are set over the course of a single night, Christmas Eve in this case. Unfortunately, it will prove not be such a merry holiday this year, as a massive surge of criminal activity sends Gotham into a lockdown state. Crime, however, isn't Batman's only concern tonight. Black Mask, a notorious kingpin at the height of his power, has placed a $50 million bounty on his head, summoning eight of the world's most skilled assassins to Gotham to compete for it.
What starts as a prison riot at Blackgate Prison escalades into a city wide calamity. It appears that just about everyone is active tonight, and Black Mask in particular, is certainly utilizing far more aggressive tactics than usual. In the midst of his encounters with each of the world class killers, Batman must attempt to uncover the true cause of this uprising, and everyone's role within it. Who is really behind all of this, and what does intend to do next?
