   I love the fact of they put the main theme of the game (Batman became more mature as hero and learning to be a better fighter) at the gameplay. This will be good, oh yes.

      His her name is Carolyn petit...they are I believe a transgender person....I have no problem with their gender but Carolyn has been known to throw her politics into reviews of games....its also annoying that they felt the need to insert themselves into a video about arkham origins....no offense but people are not interested in you or your camera time, they just want arkham origins content. It felt very out of place.

         I felt the whole convo was out of place, utterly disregarding whoever it was conversing with whom.

         I found the conversation kinda pointless too. Just put whoever at a mic talking about the game.

      I was like "WOW THAT CHICK HAS A CAMELTOE!!" ...then I realised it was a little bit more than just vaginal bulging. I think it's great that shes found acceptance in the gaming world but I felt the screen time with her was a bit distracting. I'd say 1/3 of that video was spent on me trying to figure out if she was a guy or a girl. I kinda even forgot it was about Batman.

   Does anybody notice the slight lag in the gameplay? This concerns me...

      It's probably just because of the video. Batman News played Arkham Origins at Comic-Con and it was buttery smooth, just like Arkham City.

   I can't wait for this game! Though, I have to admit, I'm pretty bummed that they were so reluctant to touch the free flow combat and predator. I mean, while brilliant, nothing's perfect. I wish they'd have fun with it a bit and take some risks. They are still a very young studio and maybe a bit un-experienced so I don't really blame them.

      dude, the combat system is what separates this game from the others...its what separates the men from the boys! try playing arkham city for an hour or two then play assasins creed or mafia 2 immediately after and see what I mean. The movement and free flow is the best i've seen in a game. I wish most games would adopt this style, it'd be awesome to have a superman or iron man game with the arkham style of play. maybe they could just add more moves, or more animation...

         I do agree the combat style is one of the best though it doesn't mean it can't get better. I say you always gotta reach higher. Keep everything in tact, of course, but boost it to the next level. They're already ahead of the curve, add to that now and it'll remain like that for the next decade or two. I've played Assassin's Creed lol, it was kinda boring for me though =S.

   Maybe it's just me, but I'm disappointed they showed Deathstroke's face already. Also, I kinda want a Catwoman vs Copperhead fight now.XD

   I really do not get how people claim to be fans of the first two and yet not interested in this one.

    Huge fan of both Deathstroke and Batman. I REALLY hope they don't water Deathstroke down.

    This is the guy who out-plays Batman 2/3 fights (in the comics). He is Captain America-level strong and fast, he has a healing factor, and he operates at a tactical level (I'm not getting into the whole "10% brain" thing) that is and should push Batman to his very limits and beyond. He can die but can come back to life, usually beserk.

    IF I had to classify his healing factor in 1 (where 1 is average human) out of 10 I'd put Deadpool at 10, Lobo is a 9.5-10, Wolverine at 9.7, Hulk at a very strong 10 (hell, Hulk could "dial up to 11...cuz he goes one higher" :P ), Superman-with-the-sun would be anywhere from a 6-8, depending on the writer and how close he is the to sun, etc. Frank Castle/The Punisher and Bruce Wayne/Batman would be at 1.8-2, both are near-superhuman in that regard. Captain America would be a 2.5-3. Spidey would be the same, with a stronger durability, of course.

    Deathstroke should be at around 4.8-6 (with meditation). He is about as strong as Bane, maybe not Bane at his very strongest (a fight between these two is LONG overdue, imo), an he is as faster than the likes of Lady Shiva and possibly Karate Kid, he has been able to tag the Flash before (though only through anticpiation of where he would be, still, that's some serous speed there!)

    My point is that I hope that 1) Deathstroke has a bigger role than is let on (since they're letting oyu play as him, or his "skin" more aptly) 2) You/Batman are completely overwhelemed by him in terms of taking him on in a strictly h2h sense or even a tactical sense. Deathstroke has age, experience, speed, strength, is his tactical superior (especially at this point in the story) and possibly his long-term-strategic equal. So how do you beat him? Well, you're fuckin' Batman! You figure it out. I just hope hope that the game doesn't break it down to "Well, Batman is the best martial artist in the world and the world's greatest detective (he's in the RUNNING for world's best martial artist, and certainly is the world's greatist detective, but...you see what I'm getting at), therefore Batman>Deathstroke"

    See what I mean? when Batman inevitably defeats Slade, he should damage the hell out of him, and Slade should come back later. Meaner, with a better plan, and with the possibility of making you feel like you are completely outgunned in every way. THAT would make for an exciting fight!

    Did you catch the leaked Achievements list for Origins over at IGN? Has a couple of possible spoilers (at least a couple things I didn't know about yet!)
