History Trivia / BatmanArkhamOrigins

* NoPortForYou: Unlike ''Asylum'', ''City'', and ''Knight'', ''Origins'' hasn't been ported to the [=PS4=], Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch, and being a BTeamSequel, was not included in [[CompilationRerelease "Return to Arkham"]], which included ''Asylum'' and ''City''. However, the [=PS3=] version is playable on the [=PS4=] via PS Plus Premium, while the Xbox 360 version can be played on the Xbox One and the UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesXAndS through Backwards Compatibility. In each of these examples, due to a lack of a digital port, it is necessary to have a physical copy of the game to play.

** A lot of the Predator maps are reskins from ''Arkham Asylum'' and ''Arkham City''. Particularly obvious and blatant is Gotham National Bank, the location for [[spoiler:the first meeting with Joker and the Deadshot BonusBoss battle]] which is visibly the Museum from City complete with elevated platform bridge symmetrically dividing the room in two sections and large staircases and vents located in identical positions.

* LyingCreator: Before the game's release, the "Worst Nightmare" skin was stated to be available in the main game and vaguely implied to be unlocked with 100% completion. However, those who managed to achieve that feat never unlocked it for use, causing much speculation on how it was to be obtained. Complicating the problem, the developers kept quiet for some time, before eventually admitting that it had been "removed" in testing, and was never in the commercially released version.

* NamesTheSame: Michael Gough, voice of Jim Gordon is not to be confused with the late Michael Gough who played Alfred in the Burton/Schumacher Batman films.

** In the French dub, in addition to having the same role reprisals the previous games had when it comes to Batman, Killer Croc, the Penguin, and Vicki Vale, this game has a few more voice actors reprising their roles from previous adaptations:

*** Also from ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'', in the German dub Tobias Kluckert reprises his role as Bane. He even uses similar vocals and speech patterns.

** It was the first game of the series dubbed in Brazil, and brought in the Batman, Alfred, Gordon, Bane and Joker from The Dark Knight Trilogy, the animated Harley Quinn, the Riddler from ''Film/BatmanForever'' and ''Westernanimation/YoungJustice'', and Batgirl from ''The Batman''.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Batman was originally going to occasionally trip and miss targets with his Batarangs to showcase his inexperience, but the developers decided it would have been too much of a ScrappyMechanic.

* NoPortForYou: Unlike ''Asylum'' and ''City'', ''Origins'' hasn't been ported to the [=PS4=] or Xbox One. However, the [=PS3=] version is playable on the [=PS4=] via PS Now, while the Xbox 360 version can be played on an Xbox One.

** From ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': In addition to the Penguin and Killer Croc, Renaux Marx as Ferris Boyle.

* NoPortForYou: Unlike ''Asylum'' and ''City'', ''Origins'' hasn't been ported to the [=PS4=] or Xbox One.

* {{Blooper}}: When seen in Detective Mode, Mad Hatter has no bones. Given the [[MindScrew theme of his mission]], it ''could'' technically be intentional, but it's generally assumed to be an developer oversight as it never leads to anything and is only briefly seen.

* CastingGag:
** This wouldn't be the first time Creator/RogerCraigSmith's voiced [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII a stealthy, combat savvy, cape-and-cowl clad rooftop jumper]].
** Creator/TroyBaker as the Joker, having voiced Tim Drake in ''Arkham City'' - [[GrandTheftMe Tim became the Joker]] in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker''.
** This isn't the first time Creator/BrianBloom played [[VideoGame/TheDarkness a gangster who doubles]] [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths as a supervillain]].
** Creator/JoshKeaton voices Robin in Multiplayer, once again voicing a [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan young, red-costumed, chatty superhero]].
** Creator/KellyHu's no stranger to [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 voicing]] [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice assassins]] [[Series/{{Arrow}} or dealing with vigilantes]].
** {{Invoked|Trope}}. Commissioner Gordon is hit with this on two levels. Not only does Creator/MichaelJGough have [[NamesTheSame the exact same name]] as the actor who played Alfred in the Burton/Schumacher Batman movies, but Gough previously voiced [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Deckard Cain]], who is noted to sound exactly like Bane in ''Film/TheDarkKnightRises''.
* EasterEgg: The Joker (and Red Hood, because it's the same outfit) has a belt buckle on. What is it? A bat.
