‘Batman: Arkham Origins’ Gets New Screenshots And New Info About Younger ‘Dark Knight’

Batman: Arkham Origins is getting closer and closer to release and while we’re still a few months away there is plenty of new info and new screen shots to be had.

Recently we found out that the titular character would not be voiced by Kevin Conroy. Conroy has been the voice of the Dark Knight in the rest of the games in this series but WB Montreal decided they wanted to go with a younger sounding actor this time around.

The younger actor is supposed to go along with a younger caped crusader and new reports indicate that this version of the hero will be around the second year of his career.

Batman: Arkham Origins takes place on Christmas Eve and because of this the gamer plays quite a bit of the story in a snow storm. WB Montreal had originally included a sort of storm sensor that was supposed to tell you when a blast of cold air was coming. In the end the company felt it changed the free flow of fighting too much to keep it.

The new screen shots that have surfaced back up the reports of a kind of “Winter Wonderland” to fight in. The game also takes place at night so you get the dark foreboding tone that the other games have managed to pull off coupled with the frigid cold.

When it comes to the fighting mode for this game, the developers say that goons will be able to take advantage of the “verticality” of New Gotham.

The costumed villains won’t be the only people The Bat has to take on. Gotham City police officers are quite corrupt in this game and because of that he’ll have to take on the authorities as well.

One police officer that the character will meet for the first time will be Jim Gordon. Gordon is a captain at this particular juncture of the storyline.

Does this info get you more excited for Batman: Arkham Origins?
