Link to my Arkham Knight review: https://www.backloggd.com/u/Flameyboy928/review/1419456/

I think this is the best DLC in the franchise. It adds 4 of the biggest villains omitted from Arkham Knight's main game. It also gives 4 really solid side quests 3 of which are set in completely new areas so they aren't all just crammed into already existing buildings. Ill talk about each quest briefly in order from my least favourite to favourite.

4. Mad Hatter - I think this is the weakest of the quests as it is very repetitive and doesn't have that good of a pay off. Basic premise is Mad Hatter has kidnapped 3 cops and hid them in bomb rigged cop cars. Batman has to diffuse the bombs to save them. Problem with this is i found the controls to be really janky and diffusing the bombs especially the harder ones became quite difficult. But the final wonderland fight is pretty cool but has nothing on the Origins or City one.

3. Mr Freeze - My favourite character out of these 4 but the side quest itself is nothing special. A lot of Militia stuff for some reason, adds an unnecessary tank fight but it has a fantastic ending with Mr Freeze and Nora sailing off together after finally being able to free her from the cryogen.

2. Ras Al Ghul - My least favourite character of the group but damn this side quest is good. Premise is that the League of Assassins are in a civil war, where half want Ras dead and the other dont. It introduces Nyssa Al Ghul as the leader of the rebel faction. The choice at the end is a tough one where you choose to either let Ras die or revive him, its a tough one on Batman's moral code. Love the hidden base being under the hospital thats really cool.

1. Killer Croc - Probably my 2nd favourite side quest in Knight. I love traversing through the destroyed Prison and seeing all the carnage. Croc's design is monstrous where he has no resemblance of a man anymore. It has a pretty cool twist of Croc being experimented on by the warden and thats why he is attacking them.

I love this DLC as it adds 4 fun side missions and a whole new wing to the GCPD building which is great. It is pretty weird that a DLC is required to get the max completion of the game but regardless I would 100% recommend to anyone who hasn't played.
