I kind of wish someone would make a (good) Batman game with wacky 60's style Batman instead of gritty Batman.

Crime Fighter Challenge Pack #5 (6 New AR Challenges)

-----------------------------------------------------

Catwoman’s Revenge puts players in control of Catwoman as she sets out to infiltrate the Riddler’s HQ as the final humiliation in their encounter.

A Flip of a Coin sees Robin dealing with the aftermath of Batman’s disappearance and hunting down Two-Face.

The three post-launch Arkham Episodes are all roughly the same duration and are intended to be short, narrative vignettes that give a sense of what has happened to each of these characters after the events of Batman: Arkham Knight. We’re also converting these environments into new challenge maps to give more replay value to these packs.

In December, the Season of Infamy: Most Wanted Expansion will appear in your Gotham City, with each one approximately the similar length as the Most Wanted missions in the main game. Mad Hatter is playing a sinister mind-game with Batman, and GCPD’s finest are the pawns. Killer Croc has escaped from his maximum security cell and is wreaking havoc on a crashed airship. The League of Assassins has returned to Gotham City, but what is their motive and who is in charge? And Mister Freeze may be closer than ever to completing his life’s work… but at what cost?

Well, I guess that guy who said they'd shoe-in Two-Face was right.

I see no mention of Prometheus or Black Mask, though, unless they're keeping them a surprise for whatever reason.

I might be taking it wrong but is Season of Infamy just adding more Most Wanted Missions? Like if you start up a base game with the expansion you'll have get the sidequests too? Going to make my eventual Batman 66 playthrough even funner

Curious as to how these new ones will work during the main game as, for example, there aren't any crashed airships lying about the city during the game (and the other two need to stay up for Riddler purposes).

Yeah, I read it as just new most wanted in the main game, but the line regarding the crashed airship with Croc made me think post main game is a possibility. I mean it doesn't have to be one of Staggs, but I can see it being, and you need access to them till after Riddler.

I forgot, yeah, the Croc one has to be post-game/post-Riddler as he's the one in the mostly opaque hibernation cell/chamber in the middle of one of the airship predator rooms. Either he gets out and causes it to crash, or the ship crashes on its own allowing him to escape.

Notice the crack, he's already been trying to get out. Also, his Story says something about Stagg's men capturing him.

Ah neat; I had skimmed through the stories and never made the connection Croc was probably on the airship. Hell, I didn't even recall it was Staggs men who attacked him. I do seem to recall most of the 'stories' for the other 3 characters had a, still around, but biding their time vibe going for them too, so I'd assume it's all going to be some sort of post main game content for them.

Just popping up here, guys. The end of October update is currently planned to bring the PC version fully up-to-date with all of the patch content and non-exclusive DLC released across all platforms at that point.
So when it launches, BAK for PC will have content-parity with console (with the exception of platform-exclusive DLC).

Not wanting to speak for everyone here, but I think we're all looking forward to this patch being live.

No it isn't. They're going to drop it at some point but without much fanfare and it isn't really on the front lines. I think they said next major patch should have it.

I'm noticing a pattern with PC players typing the words "at the end of the month..." in this thread.

No, but really it sucks you guys got hosed. At least you actually had an option to get a refund. PSN could sell an app that just melts your PS4 and they'd tell you to gently caress yourself if you asked for your money back.

Nope, those side missions blow, are repetitive, and never get much harder or more challenging after the story one. Skip it.

Getting all the boost upgrades seemed to make those missions easier for me, to the point that I wonder if there's an undocumented increase to your baseline speed.

Before I started playing (like a month ago) I read a recommendation to spend most of my early points on the batmobile, which seemed to work really well in general.

If they're adding all those side-missions from the Season of Infamy pack to the main game, does that mean they're now part of the Knightfall protocol for anyone who hasn't beaten the game or are they just optional? Or are they going to get other voice actors to reprise their roles just for the DLC? I doubt Mark Hamill's coming back as Hallucination Joker just to say a couple of lines about Freeze or Mad Hatter.

Very likely is that these extra missions were planned from the start and have already had their voice acting completed for months.

Are you drifting all the drat time? If not, you're probably taking your corners too slowly. One bad turn will put you back to a default distance behind. But yes, whenever presented with the opportunity to upgrade the batmobile, take it (especially rate of fire and boost stuff).

I enjoyed the APC side missions as they were a million times more fun that crabwalking around shooting drones for never-ending minutes on end, and sideslamming escorts out of the way was always pretty satisfying. But really, the missions do make the sad point that the APC is actually overall a better vehicle than the Batmobile--it's generally much faster, it corners like a dream, and takes a respectable amount of damage.

Also, don't be afraid to go down other roads/alleys if you just know you're not going to be able to make a corner without crashing. Just keep going straight and catch up elsewhere. But mastering drift cornering will get you further than anything else.

Meanwhile, Ra's looks like a literal zombie and Freeze's suit looks more like an astronauts get up than the slick outfit he had back in AC. Tetch is just.. whatever. Nobody can keep a consistent design for Tetch in any medium.

And what's up with everybody but Freeze having the same beady yellow eyes? When did Tetch and Ra's acquire reptile eyes? Does Freeze have them too behind his goggles? This banner is rear end.

Ra's having goofy eyes I can understand, due to all the Lazarus Pit fuckery.

Tetch I've got no idea but he sure does still have his identifying hat. Maybe he's secretly Copperhead. Either way the whole banner does seem to fit in with the game's promotional art direction. Which is to say not great but at least they're sticking with a theme.
