Hello everyone- as a huge fan of the Arkham universe, the only one I’ve never played has been Origins, because I never considered it canon to Asylum, City, or Knight.

Only recently have I discovered quite a large number of people who actually DO consider it Canon, despite being made by an entirely new studio.

So I’m here to ask: is there any actual evidence in either the Arkhamverse or Origins that directly indicates that it’s supposed to be canon? Are any voice actors returning? Did any of the writers from Rocksteady work on Origins? I know they play essentially the same with controller schemes and mechanics, but that doesn’t mean anything, as those mechanics aren’t patented or exclusive to rocksteady.

I ask because I’m genuinely curious to hear what you guys think- is Origins canon? And why?
