On the 25th of October this year, we get to be Batman again. Yes, we’re all very excited to see this new Batman in action, which is why teaser trailers are still better than nothing.
The full trailer will be coming on the 20th of this month, but in the meantime, we are supposed to be happy with this teaser. It doesn’t actually feature much – just shows Batman fighting Deathstroke in the snow. Still, it will probably help stoke the fires of excitement for this game. WB also teases a variety of new characters and relationships in this statement:
Taking place before the rise of Gotham City’s most dangerous criminals, the game showcases a young and unrefined Batman as he faces a defining moment in his early career as a crime fighter that sets his path to becoming the Dark Knight. As the story unfolds, players will meet many important characters for the first time and forge key relationships.

I’d love to see if they are going to be leaving the freeflow fighting system as is or fine tuning it a bit more.

Well, if its origins, then perhaps he will not be as good in combat?

They did mention they will tone down his capabilities. But I wonder how badly or if they are going to leave the combat as itis and just reduce the effectiveness of gadgets in combat?

Maybe he will fight dirty? Take Batman Beyond (Batman of the Future). Bruce was getting his ass kicked by a generic dude, then his heart gave issues, and he picked up a gun O_O (did not use it, just said “Never again”)

Guessing gadgets will take a back seat, which is a bit sad because they were fun to use.

Teaser trailer indeed. It spends more time showing you the logo’s of who is involved than actually showing you the game.

Me too, I loved the previous two. The only thing that’s making me slightly nervous is that it’s not being handled by Rocksteady any more.

What could be interesting is if Batman had to avoid the cops because he’s just regarded as some vigilante.

a fetish-ist vigilante! would be awesome seeing the dark knight hauled off for being yet another guy out prowling the streets in a funny costume.

So, if it’s an origin story, does that mean he will have a squeaky voice?
