[@DarthPhazon]

@@charlottea.cavatica1696 It goes back to Bane's childhood days in Pena Duro; as a young boy, he was first plagued of nightmares of a bat monster that persisted well into adulthood; when a missionary heard about this, he made a connection to Batman (who had just started his career at the time), which is where Bane got the idea that the only way he would be at peace was that if he destroyed the Batman.

I love how Batman roasts Alfred for his fear over the King Bat. People often forget that Batman has his own special sense of humor. He doesn't just brood.

[@domonchief]

I love that they made Alfred an actual character in this game, something I missed with the other Arkham games. Perhaps my favorite and most memorable bits of his dialogue is that randomly at any point after you raid the GCPD and get access to the National Criminal Database, Alfred will call Batman on his comms and say "Its midnight sir, just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas." "You too." Just one of those quick dialogue quips that really reminded me (and by extension, Batman) that I still have someone back home who cares for me. Idk but it was a touching moment imo

I'm beginning to believe Alfred Pennyworth was based on Christopher Lee. He was a secret agent in WW2, then became a prolific actor, released a symphonic metal album in his 80s, and was knighted. I sense an inspiration. Funnily enough, the guy was a cousin of Ian Fleming, and served as one of the inspirations for James Bond, as well as being a lifelong friend of J.R.R. Tolkien.

[@captainstu]

@@absoluteecho6152 Batman (Bruce) looks up to Alfred as both his best friend, greatest ally and surrogate father, in a way, he’s like Bruce’s only light in the world. So, it’s kinda like Alfred is Batman’s ‘Batman’, a saviour of sorts.

[@TheGoldenShamrocks]

These interactions and the fact the Batcave is in this game are reasons I think Origins is criminally underrated. Say what you will about the glitches, but I only ever encountered those a handful of times since the final patch. If you hated it when it was released (I disliked it admittedly), go give it another chance.

[@Fulgore2005]

+Spiral Out I love Origins myself. My only gripe is that the "Worst Nightmare" challenge could have been handled better, allowing you opportunities to finish them after the story. Everything else is fine IMO.

[@TheGoldenShamrocks]

I agree with that. And I think now that fans have been pretty divided on Arkham Knight (I loved the story mode, but mixed about the season pass stuff so far), maybe people will go back to Origins.

[@stevez4962]

I'm fine with origin except the fact that combat is so much worse than past games.

[@TheGoldenShamrocks]

I like the combat. The enemies increased aggression makes it far more realistic. And I adapted to it.

[@rickyleahey9286]

I actually prefer Origins over AC for many reasons. Origins has a darker tone and darker themes which is more accurate to Batman, while AA and AC did provide dark themes compared to the TV show, it is still very cartoony. Origins finally gave Batman armor and got rid of those crappy suits with underwear from AA and AC, because you know it's the 21st century and Batman goes up against criminals with machine guns and also a 40 year old man dressing like a Bat is one thing but it is not the 1960s and this is not a cartoon for 5 year olds, no more underwear for the Batsuit....looking at you Rocksteady. Also in Origins the criminals don't really believe Batman exist or if he is even a man or a creature but then when Batman shows up .....they $h!+ their pants, they are terrified of Batman and this is how it supposed to be. In AC the criminals mock Batman and are no longer really afraid of him, yes some run but most of them mock Batman. I love all these games, but replaying all of them the last couple weeks, Origins is the best IMO. I will never play Arkham Knight, the game looks beautiful and I hear combat is a lot of fun but the story is garbage, it is the single worst possible ending for Batman ever, the only way Batman could have a worse ending is being tag teamed by all the villains and then murdered. Was AK an original ending? Yes. Does that make it good? No. I honestly think Rocksteady just got tired of Batman and since they already killed Joker, they decided to totally cop-out and kill the Bat. Weak sauce. WB Monteral understands Batman better and I am looking forward to their upcoming sequel to Origins.

[@ArtPatron25]

i would love Alfred to be in the Sarcastic Hall of Fame.

[@Xehanort10]

With Man Bat living in the Batcave they'll probably introduce him into the Arkhamverse sooner or later.

[@Xehanort10]

Yump Bagle Since Kirk Langstrom didn't become Man Bat until shortly before Arkham Knight and Origins is set 12 years before Knight the giant bat in the cave was probably one of Kirk's bat test subjects while he was still researching the echolocation ability of bats that helps them navigate in the dark and trying to find out how to apply it to humans so he could cure his own deafness. So the King Bat Alfred talks about is probably one Langstrom experimented on which grew to gigantic size and found its way into the Batcave probably while hunting. It's also a reference to a storyline in the comics where Man Bat himself briefly roosted in the Batcave.

[@Xehanort10]
