It's not that Batman: Arkham Origins was a bad game; because it wasn't. It's just that Batman: Arkham City set the bar so high and, the inclusion of Deathstroke aside, overall Origins just didn't try to set it any higher. In the build-up to the Origins launch, the Batman: Arkham Origins Deathstroke Trailer digital short was released to hype Deathstroke as a playable pre-order exclusive character. This promotional short was outstanding as it brilliantly demonstrated to the Deathstroke uninitiated exactly how dangerous Deathstroke could be to Batman. I would have paid good money to have been able to see a full-length animated feature film this well done. Instead, we got Son of Batman. Don't get me started.
