This is the start of one of my favorite game trilogies, and still remains pretty interesting to this day. It doesn't have the larger open-world as City and Knight, but the condensed area of the game still makes for quite a neat world. I did my most recent playthrough on Hard mode which I'd mostly recommend as it gives rid of visible counter prompts, feels way more suitable this way. It's worth mentioning though that the challenges mode of the game is a bit unsavory, I did manage to do them all but only with a lot of frustration at points.

Story-wise the game has the smallest cast out of the series, but features The Joker is his best form out of them. It's worth noting that the bosses in this are certainly lesser than the sequel, with them mostly just calling in extra enemies every time. Still more bosses than Arkham Knight though!

If you've got any interest in superhero stuff or Batman himself, this is certainly one worth playing for sure.
