Classic FreeFlow combat is expanded with every new opponent and with Batmans abilities to engage them. The PlayStation 3 edition of the game features the Knightfall DLC pack, with alternate Batman outfits based on the character's design in the 1960s TV series and Azrael's Batsuit from the " Knightfall" story arc (1993). The events in Arkham Origins take place about eight years before Batman: Arkham Asylum, in midwinter Gotham City.

Robin's skins include Tim Drake's first and second Robin costumes, his Red Robin costume, the designs from Batman: The Animated Series and Arkham City and a slightly altered version of the default Arkham Origins costume.

The story was criticized for lacking a cohesive narrative (particularly the opening plotline of assassins hunting Batman, largely forgotten by the game's end), [159] but EGM said that when it works, the story was worthy of any Batman film, TV show or comic book. Arkham Origins introduces crime scene investigations; Batman can rewind and fast-forward through discovered elements of the case to uncover new clues.Some mention that it's varied and more fun, while others say that it can be extremely frustrating and the controls are easy to master. The game emphasizes Batman's detective skills; for example, he can scan a crime scene with Detective Vision (displayed in first-person perspective) to highlight points of interest; holograms act out theoretical scenarios of the crime.
