A decent sequel with only minor adjustments to the original's fun gameplay loop.
+ noticeably tightened if unsurprising combat
+ still highly entertaining ensemble of antagonists
+ smoother movement to go along with the more open (but small) setting
+ good amount of hidden objects and side quests
- less atmospheric and focused set pieces (meaning no horror, as well)
- unimproved detective vision tarnishing the otherwise fine graphics
- mediocre writing that strongly appeals to already established fans of the universe (random character appearances steering an erratic narrative)

I'm not a fan of superheroes in general and only played this because Arkham Asylum was pretty fun to me, anyway. You're probably right that this isn't for me but I don't think my score is unreasonable since reviews should always come from people with different perspectives.
