Hey now, I actually listened to every thug conversation, looked in all rooms for balloons and easter eggs, and such.

STILL too short.

I did take my time, still went through it fast. I captured 90% of all the balloons on my first try.

Yeah...these.

[Kane52630]

Wasn't there new challenge maps that came with the DLC?

[Sparta*]

do you get anything for popping all 30 balloons?

As far as I know just an achievement.

[Balthus Dire]

Kinda sucks to hear people are disappointed; we were all pretty stoked for this lol.

[Kane52630]

It's a good DLC, don't get me wrong but for $10? It's a little much for something this short. If it was $5 I would be more enthusiastic.

[Sparta*]

yeah i would have been happier if it was 5$ but $10 is too steep. I think they just rushed this out after seeing how good the game did and seeing peoples requests for story DLC, but it could have been much much better

[Team Andino]

I think if you're patient enough to wait a few months after it's release and just get the GOTY edition you'd have made the best deal. Getting all the DLC, the extra characters, and Harley's Revenge for the original game price. I'm to big a Batman fun to of waited beyond the first day it was available though. Kudos to you guys who did wait.

Peoples expectations were too high. From the jump it was said this was only a 1-2 hour DLC. It also could be due to the fact that because the full game was so awesome, people felt that any addition to it should be just as mind-blowingly awesome. It basically comes down to paying attention to detail, if the rest of you were as good as I am, you wouldn't of been disappointed, as you would of known what you were getting. Unfortunately its a skill i cannot teach you.

It wasn't the length of the story that let me down, it was the barebones nature of it. Having Robin free roam would have been rad. Hell, even more Riddler trophies for Robin would have been cool. It just didn't add all that much, except a tease to Batman's emotional state for the next game, but even that was slim pickings.

Yea i can see that. It would of been cool if this was a full blown expansion pack. Oh well, i rather them get to work on Arkham 3 than put out a big expansion.

[Benstamania]

I just think that it's been how long since the release of AC... We should have gotten a bit more lengthy DLC.

I'd also like the combat challenges more if we could co-op 'em.

[Bruce Malone]

Been waiting for this for a while but it doesn't seem like i'm going to be getting it now based on the reviews here.

[javi1024]

I barely got to touch it last night, but I was a little disappointed it wasn't a mission you start in the story mode. Unless they give you a little portion of Arkham City you're allowed to explore, I'd really like to be able to roam around using Robin.

I hope that's something they aim for in the next of the series if they go for one. Have a story where it's broken up that we play between Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman, maybe even Cassandra Cain Batgirl.

[Big and green]

Why does everyone want co-op in every single game? What is the appeal? I mean I get it ohhh Batman and Robin, but come on. I just mean, geez ruin why can't we just be happy with what we got. Plus half the time, the co-op is half hearted and lame. IMO

[Team Andino]

I'd like co-op in the combat challenges, like let them throw you a crazy amount of guys and use your combos and streaks to get high scores. I'd love if they did a co-op for the Iceberg Lounge map were they never stop coming until they beat you.

I never said co-op. I said I'd like a story (maybe divided into chapters) where we would bounce between different heroes of the bat family so we can enjoy their different play styles. Kinda like what they already did with Catwoman, just more.

[The Joker]

Just finished playing Harley's Revenge. I have to agree with the consensus. It's a fun little romp that doesn't even take 2 hours to finish. But it adds nothing to the story really except establishing Bruce is in a depression over Joker and Talia's deaths.

It was fun playing as Robin.

I hear ya now. I just don't want Final Fantasy: Batman edition. An 80 hour game that by the time your invested into all the characters, you stop caring. I don't want it to be like AC where you can't have Batman interact with poison ivy, just an example.

[javi1024]

It doesn't have to be like an 80 hour rpg. Keep the story simple: A string of murders is threatening Gothams politicans; whatever. Your task: find the killer. Each character follows their own trail of clues, with their own arcs that highlight them specifically, until it all culminates in the end.

I agree, keep it simple. But you know the fanatics, won't be happy with simple. I think your on to something, but they should have it be a separated Gotham city with each character handling their part of the city, and meeting in the middle to face the bigger problem.

[nogap87]

I paid 10 bucks just to find out Batman and Harley are still upset over Joker.

Meh. I honestly had more fun beating up endless thugs in the Iceberg Lounge.

[Balthus Dire]

This DLC is $10. It's around 2 hours.

Most movies are way more than $10 and are are around the same length.

Just sayin'.
