In two days, Batman returns to consoles. Of course, he'll have a heck of time making it out alive, as he's up against a plethora of assassins.

WB Montreal's Batman: Arkham Origins gives us an earlier glimpse into the life of the Dark Knight, but he's still a rather formidable fighter. As you can see in the launch trailer above, Batman is working his way through the underworld to get to Black Mask, the man who put the bounty on his head. There are appearances from the Penguin, Bane, Copperhead, Deathstroke and more, and that's only a brief look into the crazy Christmas hitting Gotham.

While Rocksteady developed the previous two Batman: Arkham titles, WB Montreal took up the reins for this sequel. For all intents and purposes, it looks like it follows the previous entries just fine. We'll only have a few days to wait until we find out for ourselves if this was an origin worth telling.
