New Arkham City DLC pack lands Dec. 20, takes us to the Batcave

by Jordan Mallory on Nov 27th 2011 4:30PM

Well, we don't know for sure that the Batcave challenge map included in the next Batman: Arkham City DLC pack isn't the one Adam West and Burt Ward called home, but it seems far more likely that we'll be beating down Gotham's worst in something a little more contemporary.

According to this tweet, the pack arrives December 20 and also includes two previously available maps: Iceberg Lounge and Joker's Carnival. No pricing information has yet been revealed, though we feel safe in assuming that the sum total will cost more than nothing and less than a hundred billion dollars.

Wb isn't getting another penny from me until they fix the PC version.....

ALL my money.

I wished all the recent DLC for Robin and Nightwing had a story campaign like Catwomans. I mean there is a huge map in BAC to explore. Imagine some Batgirl and Redhood DLC...i should work for Rocksteady.

@rambo8

I agree. Robin in particular plays like a hybrid of Batman and Catwoman. It's a shame there wasn't a story section for him.

@Shig
His shield and zipline give him a bit of a unique quality. Definitely stands out more in the predator missions than the combat ones.

@rambo8
All this talk about Batgirl and Batcave has reminded me of this video

Please tell me I'm not the only one terrible at the challenge maps.

@bloodlinejake

I am too.

*gives virtual hug*

@The Cole Train How ghey! But I need one too. I think we would all be a touch better on the challenge maps if we all had teh city to explore and get used to the DLC Characters.

Hey, throw in a damn storyline as well. #Sigh

I gotta say, the side scrolling train challengey-thingy-ma-jig was ok. Reminded me of old school final fight and streets of rage.

The tweet says the other two challenge maps will "also be available to download then". I'm not sure if those two will be included in the Batcave pack. Sure hope so!

I'm still waiting for my game to work.

DLC?

Just fix my game or give me my money

You know what would be awesome? A Batman Beyond game, and if anyone can do it Rocksteady can. Though I didn't like the steroid like Batman Beyond skin.

@NPTran23 I didn't like it either, I wanted the build of the skin to look like Terry.

@NPTran23 & @Oopacsunoo

you guys do know that Wayne wore the suit before Terry and he was built. also there was a Beyond game made many years ago that wasnt...errr too bad i suppose, i think it was for PS1.

@ChaseHammerJ
No, it was bad. Real bad. Return of the Joker was easily worse than Superman 64, it just didn't get noticed cause it's a licensed movie game, that's to be expected.

Don't know if this classifies as spoilers, but I may as well say SPOILER ALERT...

At the end of multiple side missions in AC, it said "Flagged for further investigation at the Batcave". I hope to Batgod this is more missions, possibly playable with Batman, Robin, Nightwing and Catwoman instead of more challenge maps (I don't mind if it includes challenge maps but not only maps)

I will put a stash of money away now, for throwing at heads later.

Cannot get enough of this game.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the Challenge mode? Don't see the appeal of paying $5 for more of the same.

@adeese
Nah I don't like the challenge maps either. I find them super annoying and boring in any game I play. Like a horde like game is fun if you're playing with friends and it's stacked against you, but in in Batman they were just mash attack fests. For 10 rounds

what is so good about paying for these packs? its the same game play,same game moves. nothing new and worth buying them all for?

Giant penny == day one

To anyone who hasn't played it: Peter Parker dies in the end

...

What if you own the other 2 maps already, I have to pay $5 for one challenge map?

Only as a challenge map? laaaame. Why are all the DLC's for this game just stupid maps to beat up guys on?

@Baagawk Because something has to sell Batman Gotham City in 2012/2013!

I don't mind challenge maps and characters as DLC, but am I the only one who thinks they are waaaaaaaay overpriced?

@jbs1018 they say the prices are normal.

@jbs1018 $7 is way too high, that's only a few dollars less then Undead Nightmare. $3 or $4 max sounds a lot more reasonable.

Why is it always challenge maps? They have all these Rogue Gallery villains and this giant beautiful city to explore. Add more DLC that is interweaved into the story mode. Show us how Robin got ahold of the batline shooter and ended up on the rooftop to help fend off Ghuls ninja chicks.

Just please, no more stupid challenge maps.

I remember reading something about Rocksteady working on more Catwoman material but haven't heard anything for a few months now. I'm not very interested in paying for more challenge maps.

This game is just begging for more story based DLC, I second the idea of centering it around how Robin fought his way to Batman on the roof.

Challenge maps are cool and all but they get repetitive quickly. I personally would like to see Robin and Nightwing campaigns like how they did Catwomans in the Main game for DLC and also add bosses for the Riddlers challenge when you reach the last round and add cutscenes, just give me something NEW please!
