jeriendhalSummary: In this DLC sequel to the hit Batman, Arkham City you play both the Batman, who is on a mission to rescue from GCPD cops captured by a grieving Harley Quinn a couple weeks after the events of the main game, and Robin, who has to go in a couple of days later to find out what happened to his mentor.
Review: For $9.99 this is a pretty pricey DLC for the amount of content you get. Yes, it's quite fun to fight as Robin in the storyline, as opposed to being limited to the challenge packs, but the action is confined tightly to the Steel Mill from the original game, now modified by Harley into a shine to her lost Mistah J.
Also it doesn't advance Batsy's characterization much. He seems to be in as much mourning as Harley from the Joker's death, but this is mostly expressed by being very terse in his conversations and thoughts (and being quite the ungrateful dick when Robin finally rescues him). I suspect there may be a second DLC coming along to knock him out of his funk, but I'm not sure it's worth waiting for. For about two hours of gameplay, there isn't much justification for the price, unless you really want to beat the crap out of Goth Harley in thigh high boots.
