Batman: Arkham series. It is a prequel to the previous games, following Batman early in his career.
Synopsis for "Batman: Arkham Origins"
It is Christmas Eve of Bruce Wayne's second year of being Batman. Thus far, he has mostly fought "normal" criminals, such as mob bosses and drug dealers. But criminals who share the Dark Knight's flair for the dramatic are beginning to appear, such as the Joker, Penguin, Anarky, and the Mad Hatter. Bridging the gap between this new breed of criminal and the old style mob bosses is Black Mask. He has placed a bounty on Batman's head that has attracted the attention of eight deadly assassins, who will stop at nothing to corner their prey.
