So apparently there was another new patch for the game today (PS4), and I noticed now there's a trophy for getting a certain amount of stars from new AR challenges having to do with using the '89 Batmobile... Huh. Guess that's the next DLC, but wonder when it'll be out.
I guess it's safe to say pretty much any challenge-related DLC for this game will AR challenge/Batmobile-based, instead of combat & predator challenge map players being tossed a bone... Realized more and more over time how little replay value this game has compared to the other Arkham's without those.
Well, I guess the other pre-order skins from earlier are now free. Downloaded 'em, and currently using the Batman Beyond one. Looks pretty sweet and a definite improvement over the Beyond skin from City.
The part where you have to sneak around a few tanks using the disruptor, hacking device, or whatever? Use it on the 1st tank while you're under the grate after selecting the gadget, then move on and there'll be another tank around the corner on the right. Disable that one after you're far away enough from the first one, then once you move past that, there'll be a 3rd one up ahead. After that just grapple up and sneak inside that one room.
Or tl;dr, this.
Oh, and there actually will be some challenge pack with Batman, Robin, Nightwing, and Catwoman after all. Saw it as one of the other upcoming DLC's. Don't think it's till next month though.

Just completed the game 100%. I saw some guys in YT only got 98-99% in the GCPD Lockup, but still got the full Knightfall Protocal ending. Weird.
Too bad I had Riddler as the final character locked up at the Maximum Security cell. Would've wanted to see Joker's comments about him, but I finished the main storyline missions before I finished Riddler's.
Anyway, my thoughts about this game:
Pros:
- amazing graphics, despite using outdated Unreal Engine 3
- VA is spot-on. One of the best I've heard (Pyg's voice recordings creeped me out a bit)
- the appearance of the characters are modern yet attractive (I like the armored look)
- Batmobile
Cons:
- main storyline mission is too short
- too few rogues
- dubious ending
- somewhat repetitive gameplay
- replay value is low
The storyline could be viewed as a Pro or a Con depending on how you see it. I think for the most part it's OK, but of course, I expected better.

The main storyline felt like it was rushed. The pacing was awkward. You face the Arkham Knight, then suddenly Deathstroke comes out from nowhere heading the militia. Would've made more sense if Nightwing saved you from Scarecrow, and let Red Hood lead the militia til the very end. It's like the game devs thought "Oh, we need to release the game asap, so let's just have Deathstroke replace Red Hood as head of the militia instead of making a set of different missions for Deathstroke." Prolly has something to do with the lack of rogue characters. Most were already used back in Arkham City/Asylum.

I don't think that is what happened. The storyline is usually finalized before any sort of major development happens. They might not know the exact details but they know Deathstroke would be the character that replaces AK.

Deathstroke, a hallucination, a robot. Anything would've been more preferable than what was obviously expected when AK revealed himself. I already knew from the start it was [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Jason Todd aka Red Hood but I still didn't want that spoiled because I wanted to be wrong about that.

From watching the trailers, I honestly thought that the Arkham Knight was going to be a Bruce Wayne clone. However, all of the AK's shit talking and bravado made it painfully clear who he was very early on into the game.
While Arkham Knight looks incredible, anyone else think that it looks more realistic and less comic-book esque like the other games did?
