I'm replaying Arkham Asylum for the first time since close to when it first came out! It's old for sure but it doesn't take long to get used to it again.

However, I'm reminded of 2013 when young me saw a TV commercial for "Batman: Arkham Origins".

If you're a Batman fan and never saw this trailer before, I promise you that this is the epitome Batman video that captures the pain, resolve, and essence of Batman entirely within 53 seconds. This is a must-watch.

Enjoy!

Origins tends to be the "forgotten" title in the Arkham series since it wasn't developed by the same studio and doesn't feature many of the iconic characters/villains of the others (just Penguin, Deathstroke, Riddler and Joker), but IMO it's still a very good game that can be held up with the others in the series and can introduce players to a variety of other members of Batman's rogues gallery they may have not heard of before.

And the multiplayer was surprisingly good. I heard that some enterprising modders managed to revive it, and I'd love to play it again someday.
