I much preferred the atmosphere of Asylum but it's still a good novelty getting to explore a more open map though I found it didn't add too much to the experience other than me having to spam grappling hooks a lot more. It doesn't get in the way too much at least.

The villains are wasted on this game, having barely any screen time other than mentions from other characters until your final encounter with them. The boss fights are at least a lot better which lends more threat to the characters though this matters a lot less when there's very little buildup to their presence except maybe Penguin.

Catwoman was a fun diversion but gameplay-wise is barely any different so it fails to provide much mechanical variety thought at least her animation work and design is just as good as Batman's so there's some visual difference.

I enjoyed this overall but really just felt like a big retread of Asylum with some more distractions and less cohesion.
