No way this mess is in the Arkham universe

It doesn't make any sense. I'm shocked how Rocksteady disrespected Batman in this game. How badly it is written. Ain't no way it is a canon.

The story is pointless, if Brainiac wins then DCU story is just overall GG. Injustice story is the true and better version of a Suicide Squad story....

It's canon because rocksteady says it is and its their universe and they didn't disrespect batman lol the villains did. If you want heroes respected don't play a game where you are a villain .

Yeah no. I don't care what they say. Not a single writer of Batman: Arkham series has worked on this piece of a product. It seems that they don't respect Arkham fans in general in this game, especially Batman fans. From writing and awful generic boss fight to his death. No way Arkham fans gonna accept this mess.

How was Batman 'disrespected' ? I hear this exact same accusation from many people. It's really not beating the allegations that you guys are just parroting what someone's saying

Have you played or seen this SS? Do you familiar with the Arkham Batman? How Arkham Knight ended? I mean I can explain with a wall of text, but I don't think I have to or you really care. So I just repeat: from writing and awful generic boss fight to his death.

Rocksteady ♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with the Arkhamverse, soon they're going to find out proportionally to the level of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around they did.

I have over 13 hours in the SS game, I've completed the story and now just levelling my squad. So yes, I have played it. I've also played each Arkham Batman game, bought them on the consoles and I also last year bought them for my Steam account.

I'm not sure what else they could have done with boss fights in a looter shooter. In terms of his death however the story is not over yet - we have upcoming seasons which will continue the story. I really can't imagine Rocksteady would allow the Justice League to stay dead, I'm positive they will make a return among the citizens of Metropolis.

Do you like this story? Do you think the story has a good connection to Arkham series? Do you like how Batman was treated in this? How he died? I just don't understand how Arkham fan can say 'yes' to any of this questions. I persanally very dissapointed.

And man, THIS is Kevin Conroy's last perfromance as the Batman? Such a shame.

The whole premise is 'how can these 4 minor villains take on the Justice League' and that was what drew me in. Overall, believe it or not, I did actually like it.

I mean, a few minor connections?
Joker being dead, Harley being in the Asylum since Knight, Boomerang commenting 'I thought Deadshot was White'... etc... I will admit, if the game was more aesthetically like Arkham games (all dark and gritty) then it would make it feel more in that universe, but the SS are supposed to be all colourful and goofy I guess?

Batman was absolutely terrifying. The mission where you're trapped in the museum while he's lurking in the dark, picking off the squad 1 by 1... It was great to see it from the villains point of view. In the Arkham games I was always thinking they were overreacting, it's not scary and they're just cowards - but this made me see it in a whole new light. Also I like how in certain parts of the game you can see Batman stalking you from a distance, and I enjoyed hearing him talk over the comms. I do wish there were more, but we had a decent amount I suppose.

From what I gathered he died when he was brainwashed and it couldn't be reverted. Harley's speech was creative, it's amazing how she accused him of 'emotionally & physically traumatising everyone he knew' - this is a perfect demonstration of how warped her point of view is, she still thinks Batman is somehow the bad guy and still blames him for Joker's death.

I wouldn't say the game's perfect, but it's no where near as bad as many are insisting.

Creative? I don't think so. It's pretty weak even, considering what have they been through. The whole bench scene. I don't feel that writers care. Like at all. They just killed him on a bench after basic speech.

No man, this is just mindless always online looter shooter made by a studio that was loved for single-player Batman Arkham games. Lead people leaved, different writers, but of course they wanted money from old fans, so they promote it as Arkham universe game. Unfortunately, this is also Kevin Conroy's last perfromance as Batman, so they capitalizing on that. And it's not made for Batman Arkham fans for sure. It's not funny, pretty sad actually.
