Is the Wii U set up similar to the 3DS where you have to purchase dlc from a store inside the game rather than the E-Shop? Maybe it wasn't worth the effort of implementing a store just for the Wii U version.
It didn't have pre-order DLC. Said pre-order DLC is simply available for free on the eShop, no pre-ordering required.
PC has a history of not getting DLC, btw. Just saying.
That said, Warner Bros. clearly doesn't have their eShop situation figured out.
No. Works like every other digital store.
I hope this isn't the case. I was planning on buying the WiiU version. If the Deathstroke stuff is just challenge arena stuff I wouldn't care too much, but if it's story content like Catwomen I don't think I would be willing to miss out.
It's really odd though. This looks to be developed alongside the other versions. It's not a rush job port like most of the third party WiiU catalogue. By the time this releases it actually has a decent chance of being successful but this would just shoot its chances in the foot.

My money is on Wii U.
No one makes DLC for Wii U because the games don't sell, but the games don't sell because no one makes DLC for Wii U.

watchdogs is apparently getting preorder dlc too
Nintendo Network logo is not the eShop logo.
This is the eShop logo:
Eh, sure, but the Nintendo Network is the equivalent to XBL and PSN, the two logo's and terms that's used on all marketing material. I never seen them use the words Xbox Live Marketplace or Playstation Network Store.
Just like how Nintendo puts their Network logo on their gameboxes and not the eShop logo. Same with Sony and MS.
The other guy just asked the wrong question
It saves you future money since you can eventually say "our games don't sell on that platform because we don't bother doing it properly so we can just scratch that platform out of our support-column forever"
But the eShop logo appears at the end of trailers or on promotional materials. The Nintendo Network logo only ever appears on box art.
vs.

Yeah, I can't imagine that Nintendo isn't updating the eShop to support direct DLC redemption, then. It's bizarre that it hasn't been done already, but it is Nintendo.
I think the nintendo eshop logo is used to indicate availability for download off the eshop whereas the nintendo network logo is meant to indicate online functions. It's the difference between XBL:Marketplace and XBL.

Watch_Dogs and Rayman Legends pre-order stuff could quite easily be Uplay unlocks so therefore not need the eShop.
This might be a stretch, but is it possible it will just be included on the WiiU version without a preorder? Similar to what they did with the PC version of Batman Arkham City? I can't remember how they marketed that one. I'm not getting my hopes up but I suppose it might be a possibility. Technically it's not DLC in that sense. The ad does say exclusive access for preorders though. But it would be a way to boost sales for the platform.
Thinking about it, this does seem to confirm that it won't be included with a standard PC purchase this time.

Yeah, that must be it. Nintendo really have two separate terms, while MS and Sony just uses XBL and PSN logo's.

We all know it's the WiiU who's not getting it. Fuck it.

And the 360 never got the playable Joker in Asylum. Was there a shitstorm around that?

"It's not the same content."
No one gives a shit about the 360, gawd!

Having just bought AC on Wii U and loving the gamepad connectivity, I will get Origins on the Wii U for sure.

If this is just Nightwing/Robin Challenge room stuff then I don't care but if it is anything approaching Catwoman content then I will be upset (assuming Wii U is indeed the platform missing out because it is the platform I want this game on).
maybe Wii U will get exclusive Cassandra Cain DLC.
not "shitstorm" but I remember it was actually a big deal for people who wanted to get the game (also remember AA wasn't a hit yet and no one know the quality of the game when that got announced)

Would just like to add that PC is getting the DLC, GMG has it up on their pre-orders page http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/action/batman-arkham-origins/

Seconding this. Loved both Assassins Creed 3 and Batman on Wii U. Gonna grab Watchdogs for it as well.

Coming from an interview with Joystiq ...
"On the subject of specific versions, Mattes also confirmed to us the Origins will have specific functionality on the Wii U, but he wasn't prepared to go into details.
"We're not talking about specific features but we're encouraging people to imagine," Mattes told us, "We obviously paid to attention to the Wii U platform and what sort of functionality makes sense for that platform."
We also asked him about whether or not the Wii U would receive the same DLC as other versions, given the speculation about the system possibly not receiving the Deathstroke content. Mattes told us WB Montreal is "not yet talking about" DLC and its relationship to the different platforms."

Not surprising, but disappointing WB Montreal is not addressing this head on one way or another
