Batman: Arkham Origins online component will hide from the Wii U
Earlier today Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment confirmed players would be able to “take the award-winning franchise” online to play against friends. This online component blends the traditional play mechanics of Arkham and a third person shooter.

Warner Bros. has released a statement to Eurogamer concerning this matter.
MP will be available for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC,” a Warner Bros. spokesperson told Eurogamer. “The team is focusing development efforts on platforms with the largest MP audience.”
