Critic Reviews
Gotham City impostor – Batman: Arkham Origins
Bugs, glitches, game freezes, and other technical issues mar what would have otherwise been a passable, if unsurprising and uninspired Batman game. Batman: Arkham Origins was clearly rushed to market, and created with the sole purpose of cashing in on an established franchise with little regard to how it would affect the overall quality of the series. In a single stroke, WB Montreal has ruined any desire I had in ever donning the cowl again. Unless future entries show marked improvement, I will not be tuning in, regardless of Bat Time or Bat Channel.

Spending Christmas Eve with the Dark Knight is not the exhilarating experience you might expect in Batman: Arkham Origins, a largely and tiring tedious retread on what used to be unique and energizing ideas.
