Although Rocksteady helped improve the technology, game mechanics and its engine, WB Montréal developed the story independently. The plot was partly inspired by the comic-book series Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight and the graphic novel Batman: Year One, detailing the first year of Batman's career, with Arkham Origins described as a "Year Two" story.
Other elements of the plot were inspired by other Batman stories, such as Batman: The Man Who Laughs, Batman: Turning Points and Batman: The Long Halloween.
