Epic new Batman trailer

There are so many reasons to watch the latest Gamescom trailer for Batman: Arkham Origins: the Batcave; the Batwing; Firefly; slow motion Batman. It's all here.

Following the hugely successful Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, Arkham Origins is (unsurprisingly) a tale of beginnings. Set several years before the first two instalments, Origins features a younger, unrefined Bruce Wayne, combating the initial rise of some of Gotham City's most deadly criminals. The Black Mask has put a price on the Bat's head, attracting a host of impossibly cool assassins, all vying to put a knife/bullet/fist between the Dark Knight's eyes.

We've already become giddily excited about Arkham Origin's multiplayer features, but this trailer has successfully dragged our attention back to the jaw-dropping campaign. The 25th October can't come around quickly enough...

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
