and the new 157mb is just 2 new skins.

Those skins were already present before, required WBPlay account to be connected. Now it's given for free without account and even account connection is removed from the game menu.

I can confirm that Denuvo is removed and all of the DLC content is downloaded now even if you never bought the season pass. I never purchased any of the DLC and my total game size was 39.0 GB. After this last update my game size is 53.9 GB. I only had a few items in my "...\Batman Arkham Knight\DLC" folder, such as the Harley Quinn story that came with the main game, and the size of my DLC folder was 2.42 GB (I had made a backup of my game files and am able to compare them). Now my DLC folder is 17.4 GB and has a LOT more items in it.

Browsing the sub-folders in my DLC folder, I can open up different .ini files and see references to all of the different Arkham Episodes and other DLC content that are part of the season pass. However, there appears to still be some minor DRM in the new .exe that stops you from accessing all the DLC unless you purchased the season pass because I can still only play the Harley Quinn episode and don't have access to the others like the Nightwing one when I launch the game. The Denuvo .exe was right around 100 MB, but now my .exe is 52.1 MB...which says a lot about Denuvo DRM apparently...it will almost DOUBLE your .exe size.

I'm actually considering filing a complaint with the FTC about this...they have placed a TON of data on my computer and won't let me access it. I did not buy the season pass for a reason, and I don't intend to. They should not put an additional ~14.9 GB of data on my computer unless I actually want it.

DRM removed, and two new skins, all in a tidy 11.5GB update. Will wonders never cease?

...and the update broke my game. I'm playing in Linux via Proton. No problems before. Now it crashes every time it gets to the "Searching for DLC" screen.

It really seems to be just the DLC preload. If I uninstall any DLC / the whole Season Pass, the game still always is 55056 MB big. So it seems they just removed the ability to only have the content installed that you own. Can anyone without any DLC confirm their game is 55056 MB big as well?

This would also explain why some people had small updates while others had huge ones.

I didn't have any DLC, folder is currently 37.7GB. I think you're right, it's downloading DLC i don't own (as well as removing Denuvo).

In the Steam version, is there still leaderboards and Gothams Greatest?

They aren't present in the EGS and GOG versions.

small "updates" are usually just newer versions of the common redistributables being uploaded to the steam repositories. There may also be different versions of the game update. Steaminfo.db will often, but not always have info about changes to the game repositories.

what is Denuvo? (bin a min since I looked at this game) - and why the heck is it taking 11.5G? Last update says from March
