Batman: Arkham Origins devs working hard to make sure you feel like Batman while playing
Coming from a Kotaku interview...
"In the situations he's in, we want his options to feel like ones that are true to that property. Like, Batman with double-machine guns wearing—I don't know—no shirt, rolling around in a pink cadillac would be a horrible violation of the property, something I don't think we would want to make or that people would want to play. We want to make sure there's an opportunity for the player to feel like he is that guy doing the things in that world that Batman would do. And he's not punished for not doing them if he doesn't want to, but there really is a sense of pay-off for being that guy." - creative director Eric Holmes
