While battling goons, interrogating henchmen, and playing detective is no less fun-it definitely doesn't feel as "new" as what Robin has to offer. While you play as Robin for about half the story, the other half features Batman. He cannot explore Arkham City, even in a limited capacity. It's fun to traverse the environment as Robin, but I was quite disappointed to discover that Robin can only access the interior of the Steel Mill.
Anyone that's played his challenge map DLC will know that he has a slightly different arsenal at his disposal than the Batman, his Bullet Shield being his most unique tool. Playing as Robin is definitely the highlight of this expansion. Perhaps the most satisfying aspect of Quinn's story is the blatant placement of a baby carriage, further elaborating on one of Arkham City's more subtle Easter eggs. You see a tiny glimpse into Bruce's relationship with Tim-but once again, it's very little, as the two share about a minute of screen time together. There are allusions to Bruce's troubled mental state since the multiple deaths of Arkham City-but unfortunately, there's little more than the occasional perfunctory comment here and there. Set in the aftermath of Arkham's dramatic finale, Revenge does little to advance the story. While everyone that's enjoyed Arkham City will enjoy the two hour romp through Harley Quinn's Revenge, this epilogue doesn't really hit the same high moments that the original game did. Taking place immediately after the events of the main story of Arkham City, it places you in the shoes of both Batman and Robin-an enticing proposition that should make the $10 asking price "worth it." This isn't a collection of costumes or challenge maps, but a honest-to-goodness expansion of the campaign. Harley Quinn's Revenge is everything Batman fans have been waiting for from Arkham City DLC. Note: This review includes spoilers from Batman: Arkham City.
