The Joker also makes an appearance in the trailer as Batman is shown confronting him while he detonates some kind of bomb. The Bat Wing makes its first appearance in the Arkham series, satisfying fans that were anxiously waiting on more of the popular vehicles to appear in the games. Batman travels around on the plane as he must have a fast means of transportation to get around the larger Gotham City.
The previous two games took place with the Arkham prison and a newly built Arkham City, which functioned as a larger version of the first prison. Vehicles were not required for travel, as Batman could get around easily with his grappling hook.
Another villain known as Death Stroke also makes an appearance during the trailer as he is shown fighting Batman in some kind of underground UFC league ring. He could work for Black Mask in the game.
"Batman: Arkham Origins" will be released on Oct. 25.
