Over a month since its release in video game consoles and platforms,
WB Games epic looking prequel entry to the
Batman Arkham franchise,
Batman: Arkham Origins, has served up an interesting look at what transpired in a younger
Dark Knight's career prior to the events of the two classic
Rocksteady Stuidos games,
Batman: Arkham Asylum and
Batman: Arkham City. Developed by
WB Games Montreal, Origins looks at the more inexperienced
Batman facing overwhelming numbers of criminals and assassins on Christmas Eve, with the villain
Black Mask putting a hefty bounty on the
Caped Crusader's head for good measure.
Now that the game is out, people are looking towards what's to come next, and sure enough, and whole slew of DLC is coming to add some extra content and depth. While many out right now are additional challenge maps, costumes, and items (not to mention the
Deathstroke pack), a new DLC exclusive sub-adventure was promised some time ago, and now is being teased at this week's DLC All Access. Entitled "
Initiation", "the prequel to the prequel" story sees
Bruce Wayne who has yet to don the Cape and Cowl, and is undergoing training in a monastery deep within the Himalayas, fighting ninjas and learning vital tricks that'll be important to his mission... which is a nod to the comics itself and the first film of
The Dark Knight Trilogy,
Batman Begins.
