something something "everything was joker"

I like the idea of playing as Batgirl but I'm quite worn out on Joker now.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

The DLC itself is 7 bucks. Season pass is 40

I'm sure they said it because there is no PC release

 

[weevles]

I love batgirl. I'm interested.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Probably worth mentioning but someone on gaf data mined some of the game files and found some costumes possibly relating to the DLC like alt outfits for Batgirl including her New 52, Classic '66 TV show and The Animated Series outfit:

Ditto for Robin too.

Finally, TAS skins make a reappearance.

 

[erawsd]

Oh joy, more Joker. There isnt enough of him in the Arkham games.

 

[Shia_Labeouf]

Who was robin in/before asylum?

It's been a long time, but I'm pretty sure Robin had a very minimal role, if a role at all, in Asylum. Pretty sure it's been Tim since City, though.

it was more the date and then the "ps4/xbox one" which is why I bolded that section

omitting the still fucked PC version

 

[BUNTING1243]

I really hope the DLC for this game is good. I'd be down for a couple more hours of it!

 

[Palette Swap]

Who was robin in/before asylum?

It was probably Tim in Asylum, it's mentioned it was Jason up until some unknown time before that and Dick before.

The timeline isn't very clear and depends on how various events like

Spoiler

The Killing Joke or Death in the Family intertwine

I'm just not a fan of Tim's design in the Arkham series.

 

[Hellshingu]

I had no idea WB Montreal was making this. Any reason as to why Rocksteady isn't taking charge of this games DLC? Not that I have a huge problem with it, just doesn't make sense to me.

Ahhh I see. Sorry about that.

 

[Messypandas]

So no hope of a Batbike?

 

[Savitar]

The Joker shot first.

 

[Vire]

Hoping the length is significantly longer than the pre order shit... and of better quality.

Will wait for reviews, but I loved AK.

 

[Korosenai]

What is my best option to watch Batman the animated series?

 

[Lifejumper]

Weird that Tim and Barbara are a couple.

 

[erawsd]

Amazon Prime

 

[Dan]

Seriously, people need to stop asking if this will be the same length as the preorder bonuses. It's absolutely positively abundantly clear it will be significantly more substantial.

 

[Luigi87]

Still hoping this Robin isn't Tim.

Considering the Arkham series shipped Tim x Babs

Spoiler

WHYYYYYYYYYY

, pretty likely it is him.

 

[MattyG]

There's a riddle and case file in Arkham Knight that likely ties in to this.

Spoiler

It talks about Barbara as Batgirl having to rescue Commissioner Gordon who was taken hostage by The Joker.

So it's basically

Spoiler

The Killing Joke except with Batgirl in Batman's place and the paralysis coming at the end instead of the beginning

?

I can dig it.

 

[PtM]

This is set before Knight, and any of the other games except maybe Origins presumably. Barbara is, you know...walking and all.

Psh-yeah, could as well have been another new Batgirl I never heard about.

Thanks for the replies, guys.

 

[Luigi87]

Spoiler

That would be a massive continuity plot hole for the Arkham series, considering we actually see the flashback of when that happens in AK.

Set before Asylum, at some point after Origins. Origins is ten years before Knight apparently

Spoiler

I think according to Deathstroke

 

[DrGonzo615]

That's a pretty good value. Some Blazblue chars were 7$ on their own, ya?

Remains to be seen....

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Waiting on PC date please

 

[MattyG]

I know we see it happen in AK, but this would obviously take place

Spoiler

before the attack.

I don't see how that would be a plot hole. The timeline would go

Spoiler

All in the Family > flashback we see in AK > AK

. I'm just saying that it wouldn't surprise me to see them use that scene again as the finale of AITF.

 

[jett]

That's a pretty good value. Some Blazblue chars were 7$ on their own, ya?

Means nothing until we see what it is.

For instance, I wouldn't pay $7 for AC's "Harley Quinn's Revenge."

 

[HORRORSHØW]

haven't played AK and don't plan on picking it up but love batgirl's model

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm hoping this is a decent length, the Harley Quinn DLC was a LOT shorter than I thought it'd be. Guess I'll wait for some impressions before biting.

 

[erawsd]

Weird that Tim and Barbara are a couple.

Yeah, probably due to the way everyone has been aged up. It doesn't seem like Arkham Batman was taking in children. Comic Tim was like 10 when he joined Batman, Arkham Tim was college aged, so 18-22.

 

[PROh1bited]

Looking forward to this. Hopefully it's longer than 2 hours.

 

[Neoxon]

Spoiler

Classic Harley is in this?

HYPE!!!

 

[OnionPowder]

ahaha

fuck you too then

I'd rather them fix the PC version before releasing more content for it

 

[TGO]

Harley in her orginal outfit? IM ALL FUCKING IN ON THIS

This is the outfit they are referring too?

If so I hope its optional.

 

[Sub Zero]

Please make Classic Harley a selectable skin for her!

$7 is surprisingly cheap. Wasn't this supposed to be the big story DLC of the game?

 

[exmachina64]

Same, but I don't expect them to use a different villain for the next Batman game.

Weird that Tim and Barbara are a couple.

Spoiler

In the 100% ending of Arkham Knight, Gordon is mayor and Tim and Barbara get married.

 

[OnionPowder]

I don't know if he is the mayor or is just running for mayor

 

[ubersticky]

I'll get the season pass in time for this

 

[FranXico]

It will probably also be surprisingly short.

 

[AdaWong]

HARLEY QUINN YESSSS. Hype.

 

[NEO0MJ]

It will probably also be surprisingly short.

Maybe they'll pull an episodic format for this.

 

[Ri'Orius]

Based on what we learn in AK,

Spoiler

Joker shoots Barb when she's not in costume, and in fact doesn't even realize she's Batgirl at the time (although that could be a lie). So she can't get shot in the big boss battle or whatnot. It's possible that they'll throw in a cutscene of the attack after the end, but it seems like the attack should be pretty unrelated to the events in the DLC as described.

 

[Revolutionary]

It's been a long time, but I'm pretty sure Robin had a very minimal role, if a role at all, in Asylum.

I played through AA over the weekend - he isn't mentioned by name at all. But Joker does mention that Batman could use a new sidekick prior to the Bane fight, as if Robin was already dead.

So yeah.. I'd say there's a real possibility of the DLC Robin being

Spoiler

Jason

.

 

[Drayco21]

Just can't bring myself to give a shit about Barbara Gordon. Would have loved to see a Cass DLC focused on fighting Lady Shiva, or anything with Steph, instead of more Joker and Harley shit with the worst Batgirl.

 

[delSai]

Sounds good, i'm in.

 

[exmachina64]

Spoiler

I don't know if he is the mayor or is just running for mayor

Spoiler

He was the mayor; I can't link the video since it shows through the spoilers.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Get Arleen Sorkin to come back as Quinn. Even if she can't quite do the voice anymore, it'll be preferable.

 

[Ephemeris]

Bought PC and PS4 versions of the game but only the PC version of the Season Pass.

Awesome.

 

[serenewarfare]

I'd rather them fix the PC version before releasing more content for it

I agree, but it sucks for people who aren't having big issues with the PC version (like myself).

 

[Pimpbaa]

You'll get some version of shitty Arkham Quinn and you'll like it.

Arkham Knight Harley Quinn is the best Harley Quinn! Only shitty version of Harley in the Arkham series was in Arkham Asylum.

 

[Spoo]

Sad PC user here. Held on to the game because I got a good deal on it (and have a PC with specs where it's *playable* even if it's atrocious). Thing is, I really like the game -- at something like 96% completion -- and I just want more. This looks good to me. I don't know a thing about Batgirl, honestly, so this could end being pretty fun for me.

Please Rocksteady, hurry with the next patch!
