 "Mad Hatter added to Batman: Arkham Origins rogues gallery")
If you thought the rogues gallery in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins is just too small, we’ve got some good news for you. A picture of the latest issue of the Official Xbox Magazine reveals that Mad Hatter will be joining all the other villains to try and kill Batman, according to VG247 . The picture shows Batman holding up Mad Hatter by the throat.
The last time we saw Mad Hatter was back in Arkham City. However, his appearance was so short-lived; I hesitate to even call it a cameo. In Arkham City, Batman gets drugged and then meets the Hatter in an acid-trip sequence. After this, Bats proceeds to beat everyone up, Hatter included.

Just recently, a trailer had been released that showed yet another addition to Arkham Origins’ list of villains—Copperhead. The assassin seems to have quite a bit in common, stylistically, with Catwoman, because of her lithe cat-like movements. However, much like a snake, she does use poison.
A trailer that was released back in June gave us our first chance to hear the new voice actors for Batman and Joker. Roger Craig Smith seems to be doing a decent enough job as the Batman. His voice goes well with the younger version of Bats that we’ll be seeing in Arkham Origins.
Troy Baker, who we earlier saw in Arkham City as a bunch of characters, including Harvey Dent and Robin, is tasked with filling in the big shoes left behind by Mark Hamill as The Joker. Baker also had a critically-acclaimed role as the protagonist of BioShock Infinite—Booker DeWitt.
Batman: Arkham Origins will be hitting store shelves on October 25 and will be available on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
Ever heard of one of those people who just never seem to shut up about something? Shunal is like the nerd equivalent of that guy. Believe us when we say that he can go on talking about games and smartphones for hours on end. We do manage to find some insight in his insane ramblings though, and through his moronic facade, he does seem to know more than he lets on. Sadly enough, it always ends up being about gaming with him. Or stupid, stupid puns.
