‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ Teaser Pits Bats Against Deathstroke

by Josh JacksonMay 16, 2013

A few months ago, Warner Brothers Interactive announced “Batman: Arkham Origins,” a prequel to the wildly popular “Arkham” games that achieved a task that many thought was impossible; making a great Batman game. While new developer Warner Bros. Games Montreal has some huge boots to fill with the legacy left behind by Rocksteady Games, their first official teaser hopes to put these concerns to rest.

Check out Batman going toe to toe with master assassin Deathstroke and tell us what you think! Be sure to check back on May 20th when the full trailer is released! Same bat site, same bat web page!

Batman: Arkham Origins will release for every major platform on October 25th.

‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ Gets Eight New Screenshots, Kevin Conroy Not Returning?

by Derek KraneveldtApril 29, 2013

Warner Bros. Interactive today released a nice new batch of screenshots for their upcoming, highly anticipated prequel, Batman: Arkham Origins. The shots look fantastic, but fail to really reveal anything that we didn’t already know about the game. In any case, it looks like the title is coming together quite nicely, and it better be, as October is just six months away.

In other news, it looks like Batman may be getting a new set of pipes. Kotaku has learned (via South Africa’s NAG Magazine) that Warner Bros. Montreal has decided to look for younger talent to voice the Dark Knight, as “the game features Batman in his early years.” It makes sense, but it’s still sad news for us fans. The news hasn’t been confirmed by either Conroy or Warner Bros. however, so there’s always the chance that it’s not true (fingers crossed).

Check out the new stills below, and let us know what you think! Batman: Arkham Origins hits shelves on October 25th!

‘Injustice: Gods Among Us’ Gets A Launch Trailer!

by Derek KraneveldtApril 12, 2013

Hot on the heels of the awesome Green Lantern trailer from earlier this week, Warner Bros. Interactive and NetherRealm studios have just released the official launch trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us. The game looks bad-ass, and if you’ve had an opportunity to play the recently released demo, you’ll know that the game plays wonderfully; I can’t wait to get my hands on the retail version and see just what each character has to offer.

There’s just a few more days to wait for this one: Injustice: Gods Among Us hits shelves on April 16th! Can’t wait that long? Hopefully the cool iOS version can make time pass just a bit more quickly.

Watch the launch trailer below, and let us know who you’re most excited to play as!

“Gods Among Us” debuts as a bold new fighting game franchise that introduces a deep, original story featuring a large cast of favorite DC Comics icons such as Batman, Cyborg, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Deathstroke, Solomon Grundy, Superman, Lex Luthor, The Flash, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Bane, Catwoman, Shazam, Black Adam, Raven, the Joker, Doomsday, Killer Frost, Ares and more. Set in a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, players will experience heroes and villains engaging in epic battles on a massive scale.

First ‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ Screenshots Revealed!

by Derek KraneveldtApril 10, 2013

Following yesterday’s awesome (yet basically footageless) announcement trailer, the first screenshots from Batman: Arkham Origins are now available for your viewing pleasure. The screenshots feature plenty of the baddies we’ll be dealing with in this Arkham prequel, including Deathstroke, Black Mask, and the Penguin.

Now, if you didn’t catch it in the news yesterday, Arkham Origins is not being crafted by Rocksteady. This time around, Warner Bros. Games Montreal is taking care of the game’s development, while Rocksteady works on a secret, not yet announced project. My biggest concern is that this different team won’t be able to match the sheer quality of the first two titles, but as Rocksteady has given the Montreal team its blessing, Origins should turn out pretty fantastic.

Check out the screenshots below (click for larger versions), and let us know what you think! Batman: Arkham Origins (and its portable spinoff, Blackgate) hit shelves on October 25th.
