I've been playing through this game on and off for a few days and finally decided to get around to completing this DLC. I don't really know how else to review it so here's a ranking.
4: Wonderland. (Mad Hatter)
A pretty generic side mission that ends on a high note with a sequence that gave me Psychonauts 2 vibes (TBH I think the only reason why someone would play this mission would be for either 100% or to get to the enviable Batman trips balls sequence but it's pretty subdued). I wish they went further with it because it's the only noteworthy thing about this mission, other than Mad Hatter being gay for Batman. Games should have trippy shit in them more often.
3: Beneath The Surface (Killer Croc)
Nightwing is here and that's already a positive, and the area has some pretty creepy atmosphere too. Then halfway through you have to leave and find two guards before you can progress which is kind of a pace killer. Croc technically has a boss fight but he's easy to take down. Pretty much a generic group battle with the tag team mechanic with a tougher brute enemy to fight.
2: Shadow War (Raz al Ghul)
I feel like out of all of these side missions this is the one that really should have been in the base game the most. It has (the one) clever puzzle and it overall just puts a nice bow on a dangling thread from Arkham City.
1: In From The Cold (Mister Freeze)
Mister Freeze is the best Batman villain and this is one of the best stories told using his character so naturally this makes it one of the best Batman stories.
