Sure, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor's Talion might already look like a certified badass, but how much cooler would he look as a Dark Ranger?

The 30-second trailer above shows us the Dark Ranger skin in action, giving Talion an even creepier flair as he rends his opponents while mired in shadow. Given the dark themes and grim aesthetics of Shadow of Mordor, it makes all of the sense in the world to make Talion look even more wraith-like and intimidating. Indeed, it looks as if Aragorn had decided that he wanted to become the Batman of Middle-earth and started swooping around and knifing the forces of Mordor.

You can grab the Dark Ranger skin if you pre-order the game here. You can check out the Dark Ranger skin for yourself when the game is released on Oct. 7 for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
