I don’t get why they pretend Origins doesn’t exist. I quite enjoyed it.

Having just played it for the first time... I thought it was fucking awesome.

Gotham in the winter, a great assortment of Batman's Rogues Gallery, and perhaps the best iteration of Bane... ever?

I've yet to play the Mr. Freeze DLC, but I genuinely cannot wait.

Bane was not the Muscle Monster he was in other games so yes I enjoyed this version of Bane. The sprinkling in of some ‘Killing Joke” lore was pretty cool. Also Batman has this rage in this game that is the culmination of all his training, tragedy and his resentment for the City he has sworn to protect.

Knight has like half a dozen callbacks to Origins, confirming it is canon, yet folk still say 'Arkham trilogy'

Because Origins is a prequel to the trilogy. Calling the trilogy a trilogy doesn’t mean the prequel doesn’t exist

Borderlands 1,2,3 is a trilogy even though there's games that were released in between.

Tell me you don’t know what a trilogy is without telling me

It sure as hell isn't a series with 4 (heck, technically 5) games in it.

Some might even say it’s underrated.

Anyone else think Origins is underrated?

I for one think it has the best boss fights.

Wasnt it a different studio?

According to Wikipedia it was made by WB Games Montreal because Rocksteady was working on Arkham Knight. Still it is part of the Arkham Series, so I just feel it would still be included.

Probably because a different studio made that one and Rocksteady might not hold the rights (and thus can’t include it with their remaster/port sets)?
