Wait, what? THE Arkham Origins? Or is this just a scaled-down brawler for iOS?

Ugh, so dumb.

I don't get it... Android owns the majority of the cellphone market, they publishers just ignore them in their handheld development. LOL

Bleh...

Actually, Arkham City Lockdown was pretty fun, and it was $6. So given that this is probably going to be similar, and free, it's probably going to be fun.

At least it's free but no android version sucks.

Honestly... I'd prefer they remake the challenge mode on a mobile platform. That'd be a single handed game, or double-handed if necessary. You wouldn't need a virtual controller, and then they could emphasize the grinding and maybe even bring the MP mode over as a F2P mobile option. It used to be that idea would be crazy, but come on, iPads are comparable to some consoles now.

Actually they did say its coming to Android as well. Go to their official Facebook page for proof.

Free to download, yes. But it's $0.99 per Batarang and $1.50 per counter.

people talking negatively about this obviously have not played Injustice for iOS or have an android, I am very excited. That being said I hope the micro transactions don't ruin the fun, they didn't in Injustice.

Nice looking for a mobile game. Aside from the limiting one-on-one combat, there's a pretty high-production value here for an iOS game. Like the look of the Batman Beyond suit, maybe there's hope for a full of that too. . .

I think iOS is a bit...much, I mean some games just can't be mobile just like some games SHOULDN'T be on a major system (Never Dead, Hannah Montana ANYTHING, Amy, Borderlands 2, etc). Batman: Arkham Origins is one of those games you shouldn't stretch it out just to try and make a bigger profit.
