@RogerRoger Thanks for not tagging me in the spoiler post and then tagging me on after, really appreciate it!

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

@JohnnyShoulder No problemo; thanks for saying thanks!

@Th3solution Despite loving your alternative titles, I think my reply to you earlier was a poor one and I apologise for any confusion; I was talking purely in terms of story, character and overall narrative.

The game is called Arkham Origins moreso because the gameplay is near-identical to Arkham City, with only a few minor tweaks / expansions to the formula (there are fully-interactive crime scene reconstructions, a couple new combo animations, some new gadgets and fast-travel around the larger map... and that's about it, beyond the interiors and boss battles). Half of the game is the same part of Gotham from Arkham City, too, so it's (mostly) the same geometry.

Rocksteady basically gave WB Montreal the keys to their code and asset cupboard, and helped development in an advisory / support role (kinda like the Eidos Montreal / Crystal Dynamics relationship for Shadow of the Tomb Raider... come to think of it, that's a perfect comparison). So it's definitely an Arkham game from the "game" perspective, no question.
