"Holy Ice cubes Batman! Mr. Freeze is terrorizing Gotham City."

The third game in the Arkham Series, Batman Arkham Origins gets a new DLC storyline that features Batman's ice cold enemy, Mr. Freeze. DC Entertainment has posted teaser trailer of the new Batman Arkahm Origin DLC storyline entitled Cold, Cold Heart and it will be available in April 22 this year.

Developer Warner Bros. Games Montreal teased the new Batman Arkham Origins content last month, along with an image inviting players to the Humanitarian of the Year Awards at the Wayne Manor on New Year's Eve. WB Games vice president Ames Kirshen calls Cold, Cold Heart a "big, open-world narrative-based DLC."

"We're super excited to give fans the origin of this great Batman character," Kirshen said. "It's like a mini chapter in the game ... This is in-game mission story content with a brand new story wrapped around Mr. Freeze in the Arkham Origins settings."

This is the second appearance of Mr. Freeze in the Arkham game series as he previously appeared in Batman Arkham City as a boss character. This new dlc storyline might provide more insight into Mr. Freeze and his first encounter with Bruce Wayne's alter ego Batman.

In Batman lore, Mr. Freeze, real name Victor Fries, was a cryogenics researcher whose wife was diagnosed with a fatal disease. Mr. Freeze assumed his villainous identity after an accident that transformed his body.He depends on a high tech suit with a cooling unit in order to survive, as prolonged exposure to heat will weaken and eventually kill him.

The DLC will be available April 22 for PlayStation 3, Windows PC and Xbox 360; it will not launch for Wii U.
