What bounty does Black Mask place on Batman in Arkham Origins?

Black Mask places a $50 million bounty on Batman in Batman: Arkham Origins.

The bounty drives the game’s opening crisis. On Christmas Eve, Batman is still only about two years into his career, and eight elite assassins come to Gotham hoping to claim the enormous reward. Their arrival turns the city into a battlefield and forces Batman to confront killers including Killer Croc, Deathstroke, Deadshot, Copperhead, Firefly, Shiva, Electrocutioner, and Bane.

The amount is a total bounty on Batman’s capture or death, not a separate $50 million payment for every assassin. That distinction helps explain why several highly skilled hunters compete for the same target rather than forming a single cooperative team.

The story also plays with the identity behind the offer. Batman initially believes he is pursuing Black Mask, but discovers that the Joker has impersonated Roman Sionis and exploited the bounty to create chaos. Even with that twist, the canonical figure associated with placing the bounty is Black Mask, making $50 million the correct answer.
