About

You may enjoy this if you want a quick, animated take on a famous Batman tragedy and don’t mind a recap-like approach; Not for you if you want a full, standalone story like Batman: Assault on Arkham.

Pros: strong voice performances; polished animation | Cons: feels like recap; short main story; extra segments distract
