Arkham Origins Review

Batman: Arkham Origins Review




         Although I was initially put off at the idea of a prequel after so much sequel setup in City, and skeptical about a company other that RockSteady working on it, Arkham Origins quickly allayed my concerns. I'm trying to keep this as spoiler free as possible, although I've included the names of some bosses, a couple of gadgets, and features in the game, but avoided all major plot points.

Dark Knight Trilogy Revisited

Nolan Batman Trilogy Revisited.
Here thar be spoilers.

         The DC Cinematic Universe inexorably lumbers forward, and a new Batman is on the horizon, but lest we forget, the Christian Bale trilogy was an amazing self-contained Batman tale, worthy of the following recap. Foremost among the trilogy's strengths is that it had a beginning, middle, and end, all solid contributions to the mythos. We got a solid telling of Bruce's journey from shattered childhood to Gotham's protector.
