'Batman Arkham Origins': What Do the Easter Eggs Reveal? [VIDEO]
After Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, the "Batman: Arkham Origins" has been released and on sale but the question is: What will this new game offer? What do the Easter Eggs reveal?
In one of the missions, Batman passes by a crate which had a clear "Queens Industries" mark on it. DC Comics and CW's Arrow fans know that this is a company operated by Oliver Queen, also known as the Green Arrow. Does this mean the game mixes mythologies such as the Arkham series or will this be strictly based on Green Arrow the TV show? From Green Arrow's isolation and rigorous training on a remote island for "getting used to the controls" mission at the early stage of the game to eventually becoming a vigilante in Star City, his hand-to-hand combat in training and bow would work perfectly on console.
The spoiler end of Arkham Origins is the imprisonment of Slade Wilson, also known as Deathstroke, in Blackgate prison. This is done by Batman as he locked Wilson in when other prisoners escape during a riot. In a post-credits scene, Amanda Waller of Suicide Squad forcibly employs Deathstroke.

Suicide Squad is where villains are given a second chance and allowed to run fatal missions for the government so eventually they will be freed. This can be a set-up for Deathstroke missions in Arkham Origins but it can also be a team game "Suicide Squad." If Suicide Squad is made up of Deathstroke, Deadshot and Harley Quinn, the Arkham games could create a villain centric game just like that.
After a ton of bad Superman video games over the years, Warner Bros. are working out how to successfully translate the "Dark Knight" into the "Man of Steel." With Arkham Origins' massive destruction and Batman swinging around the city with his Batclaw at super speeds, it's almost a flying Superman/Zod battle. How about a Wonder Woman game? Gamers who are used to "Call of Duty" and "God of War" would surely like a game mixing war fighting heroics and Greek mythology.
Arkham Origins is a huge game and no doubt there will be another Batman game soon but what new aspect of Batman's life will be covered next? A travel adventure versus the villain Ra's al Ghul perhaps or maybe a mix of all the Easter Eggs possible clues above as Batman's first introduction to Justice League? The thematic trilogy is done and hopefully the next will be as good as the previous three.
