Whelp, I locked up everyone in GCPD again on new game + earlier, thus getting 200%, and the last costume in the showcase is still not unlocked... Could have maybe been reserved for said classic Harley costume, but I kinda doubt it.
The Batgirl trailer looked alright, at any rate. Guess it'll be out next week for those who got the season pass.
How disappointing, and this shit is canon. At first using the batmobile was amazing...then it got repetitive shoot drones, rinse and repeat. The Arkham knight was disappointing, turns out to be Jason Todd...what a shock! It wasn't. Boss battles, where do I begin...remember Arkham City fighting Freeze and how cool that was? Well there isn't any good fights like that in this. The final boss battle was a joke, there basically isn't one! I fought my ass off to get to the end and what I get? Scarecrow revealing Bruce Wayne as batman to everyone, he then I dunno...dies? But then there's some weird supernatural batman? I dunno, but to be honest I actually think I prefer Arkham origins over this, Arkham city was leagues ahead. Arkham knight started strong and ended horribly. I felt like I didn't play through all those missions to have Batman win and be triumphant but to lose. I stated I dunno how many pages back, I don't like playing through a game as a character just to have him die at the end...
I mean I don't want to sound too harsh on Asylum since it was the first game and all (a rough gem to me, but a gem nonetheless after the years and years of subpar Batman games), but it was one of the most repetitive for me in addition to Knight, with the bosses or lack thereof and such (too much of the Titan thugs that fought the same as Bane, etc). Origins at least had decent bosses like City, and it playing off of City's formula, I see more of as a plus, than as a minus for not innovating as much as it could've. I dunno, just one of those things. Suppose it helped too that I played Origins a little later than most, so I didn't have to experience the worst of its bugs/glitches, etc.
I picked up Origins on the Steam Sale and played through it about 2 weeks ago. And I thought it was really good! Yeah, it was glitchy as hell and the combat was worse than in previous games and the challenges were broken such that I couldn't finish the stealth one, but it still had a lot of stuff that I really liked and I really got into the story and setting. It was goofy that so many villains premiered on the same night, but **** it its called Origins for a reason. I think it's very underrated. The Joker was ****ing awesome in it.
I think I remember being kind of underwhelmed by City though. I can't remember it very well which isn't good. Maybe I should replay it. Asylum was pretty epic though. Except that terribad Joker fight.

The Boss battles were repetitive yes, but the Ivy fight I enjoyed, Joker was...okay I guess, but AK just...there were no boss battles really, and the ending was shit
Origins was a great game.No idea why it gets the hate.(people only hate it cause its not a Rocksteady game imo)
The multiplayer was meh though.
Some of the elements like the boss fight were much better then in AK.
The dlc was pretty damn good unlike the shitty 5 minutes ones in this one.
Also dont forget not being able to play other characters in challenge maps.
