Following Arkham Origins: The Newest Trailer

Alright! So if you happen to have read my very first post on the previous Arkham Origins teaser trailer then you would know my excitement for this game is off the charts!I've decided to officially follow this game as well as I can and share every known detail as they are revealed. Once the game actually comes out I plan on doing a  video and written review and I hope I can conjure up some loyal readers. Let's get to business. 

Good News- There's a new trailer out! This one being 4:52

Bad News- There's still a good many months before this game releases

Now the teaser, being only 41 seconds was good, but concise. This new trailer actually contains the 41 seconds we previously saw as well as some footage as to what occurred before and after those 41 seconds. 

Go ahead and check the new trailer out on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pnK8akbd2M

Black Mask makes his debut appearance in this new trailer

Exciting, right?! Again beautiful graphics and an even better look into what's actually going on in this new title. So lets just simply break it down. 

A couple criminals are up to no good (good old Gotham) when all of a sudden Batman swoops in to save the the day. Everything seems to be going fine when all of a sudden Death Stroke enters the scene. Now it looks like Death Stroke set those criminals up to lure in the Batman as he remarks, "Looks like you got my invitation," but its not certain. Regardless the two begin an intense conflict, which is where the original teaser makes another appearance, until all of a sudden our point of view shifts to that of a distant sniper. Not just any sniper though; Dead Shot.

Dead Shot fires down on Death Stroke to prevent him from killing Batman. It would seem the two share an assassination target. Batman is downed, times skips forward, but no body is found.

This is where we find out Black Mask's involvement in the story. He comes to meet survey the scene where Batman was taken out, but discovers no body. Its then implied that Black Mask is actually the one who hired the various assassins to take out Batman as we hear Death Stroke tell him, "And next time keep your other assassins out of my way."

So here are the new questions that arise. Is Black Mask the mastermind behind our new plot? Or will it turn out like Arkham City where we though the mastermind was Hugo Strange, but it was really Ra's al Ghul? In other words will another criminal actually be behind Black Mask's actions? I hope not, but we'll see. 

Another point to consider is which other characters will be introduced? Black Mask has been getting more and more appearances throughout this franchise and because this story line takes place before the top tier criminals arise, I hope we get to encounter some of the lesser known Batman enemies. I for one would love to see the Great White Shark and Firefly come into play.
