Violence & Gore
-
- Arkham origins has intense and brutal violence all throughout.

All of this is portrayed with with a smaller amount of blood then it should, but it's still there.

- A character hosts a high-stakes fighting tournament. Violent punches are thrown.
- Batman interrogates several thugs throughout the game, using intimidation and threats of serious injury to get them to talk.
- Batman, after interrogating Ricky "Loose Lips" Leblanc, ends up accidentally knocking him unconscious from his performing too tight of a neck grip on him, eventually resorting to interrogating him above City Hall, even slamming him against the clock face when "dropping" him (having attached him to a bungee cord earlier). After he gained the information outside of torture, he drops Ricky on a Christmas tree.
- Batman violently beats Penguin to obtain information. Prior to Batman's arrival, Penguin rams an umbrella holder into Alberto Falcone as well as gives him shocks with a shock prod. Falcone also is covered in blood, implying prior, more brutal instances of torture offscreen.

- The eight Assassins are usually seen killing people.
- Some blood, (Bloody noses, some stab wounds)
- Batman throws a character into a mirror and it shatters over his body.
- Bane, after discovering Batman in the elevator, proceeded to supply a brutal beatdown on the caped crusader before throwing him into Joker's room, relenting for a sole minute only after Joker gave the implied threat of blowing up the building they were currently in if Bane didn't cooperate.
- Joker, shortly after the above, manages to destroy the entire top of a building in the vicinity as his "Christmas Eve" present.
- After GCPD aids Batman (albeit unknowingly) acting as the cavalry, Joker fires several rounds from his machine gun at the GCPD choppers with the implied orders for his men to do the same. The GCPD choppers, as they had warned beforehand, open fire in retaliation. Several deaths from the resulting gunfire are implied, with Bane being grazed by one of the stray bullets. The choppers are later shot down by several choppers (implied stolen) manned by Bane's mercenary group. Bane later ends up firing a rocket launcher at the Joker in retaliation for the latter firing at him.

- One side mission requires Batman to destroy several stashes of illegal drugs. Many packages containing the drugs can be seen in a church.
- Some scenes involve Batman being poisoned or otherwise drugged, which cause intense hallucinations.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
-
- Similar to the previous entry this is a strong T rated game, contains stronger content than any entry in the Halo franchise which are all wrongly rated M.
- Batman in this game is in his early years, and is much more violent, and ruthless but still wants to protect the city.
- The game is very dark, much like the Dark Knight movies.
- Killer Croc's voice appearance may frighten young children. Deathstroke appears intimidating. Copperhead slinks around in the dark, appearing in shadows and cackling evilly. The Joker is also a creepy, intimiating and murderous villain.
- Bane in this game is a much different interpretation than in the previous games. Not only is he big and scary looking, but also very tough and smart, practically a match for Batman. The final confrontation in Blackgate can be scary as you have to keep moving and you're not always sure where he is.
- A sequence inside a psychopath's mind, while very artistic, may be disturbing to some children.
- The Joker blew up the top of a nearby building, with the explosion being powerful enough to shatter the windows of the building they were in and completely damage the TV sets in the room, and also implied that he'll detonate another building soon with significantly more casualties. Although the building was later revealed to have just been a construction site (which according to Joker had not had anyone inside that he was aware of), the initial implication that the Joker may have murdered hundreds of people in the bombing is present, and will very likely disturb audiences.
- The Joker's overall character is extremely disturbing and menacing, especially with how he treats his men (where it is heavily implied that he often has his own men murdered for his own sick amusement), as well as the implied bombings against Gotham for anarchy. In addition, his overall appearance as a maniacal clown may frighten young children. Also, he kills many people throughout without apparent reason.
Spoilers
Violence & Gore
- Joker beats Roman Sionis (while the former is disguised as the latter). This is somewhat prolonged and brutal.
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
- Bane experiments with a street drug called "Venom," which is essentially a steroid. It is revealed that he is recruiting volunteers to be test subjects for his new version of Venom. Batman fights a few, and later learns that the Venom compound killed one of the test subjects he previously fought. It is also revealed that prolonged use can cause memory loss, the effect of which we later see in Bane.
Frightening & Intense Scenes
- Batman is poisoned by Copperhead, which make him seeing various scary hallucinations. Later, he uses antidote.
- For a few moments, we see Batman as The Joker sees him, which could be quite frightening.
- Alfred is beaten to death by Bane. The act happens offscreen, but Batman arrives just in time to see Alfred die. This can be very upsetting. Batman defibrillates Alfred, bringing him back to life.
- Batman is placed in a situation where he must either kill Bane, let the Joker die, or let himself be killed. The stakes are later increased when Joker holds Gordon hostage with the implied intent of having Gordon be electrocuted alongside him after Gordon tries to free him. Batman uses his shock gloves to stop Bane's heart, and later defibrillates Bane.
