All 3 partners (Catwoman, Robin and Nightwing) will get side-stories too.
My memory didn't fail me! Can't wait to play as her, she's gonna be fun.
The Killing Joke would be pretty shit as a Batgirl DLC, considering she's never even suited up or doing anything. That book is all Batman/Joker, Babs is just a plot point. She's in like three pages.
1) Walk to door.
2) Press X to open door.
3) Get shot.
4) Roll credits.

I've always played all of these games day of release but this shit is getting ridiculous and I'm putting my foot down now.
I'll wait for GOTY edition.

That actually sounds like a reasonable amount of content. Makes the initial vagueness of the announcement all the more confusing. Any kind of pre-release mention of DLC is met with negativity these days, and they're actually charging more than season passes generally do. I'm not sure how they didn't anticipate the negative reaction, to be honest...
Still not going to pre-order DLC, though. I'll wait until some/most of it is out before getting it. Hell, I got the Arkham Origins SP for pretty cheap and even then I kinda regret it since I still haven't played Cold, Cold Heart.

When I saw Batgirl in the title, my initially reaction was that they probably ruined her look like they did with Harley, but no! She actually looks really good. Still, like every other Arkham game, I won't get it at launch. It'll be months after.

Potential Batgirl spinoff?

I will get this but I'm going to have to wait for a sale. $100 for a single game is beyond my budget.

Same. I want this game, but it's going to go on sale eventually...

Cant wait for the goty edition, game is gonna be dope
I'm not saying it should be the entire dlc, I'm saying a Killing Joke nod would be cool since that's pretty much what people understand to be the established canon as to how Barbara became crippled, and since we already know she was Oracle by the time Arkham Asylum happened we can also assume she's crippled by then. The DLC will be an entirely original story though, I'm sure.
To be honest, I doubt there will be any direct Joker involvement in the game, which is fine, but having prequel DLC would be a nice opportunity for at least some fan service.

Actually this sounds pretty good! And there's post game story stuff too. Very interesting. I will wait until this is 20-30$, because I can't see myself handing out 100$ just this fast. But I still have to read impressions and see a bit of gameplay out of these story packs.

Got the game preordered for 30 bucks on ps4. Gonna get season pass too whenever it sells separately.

They're giving the Batgirl DLC top billing, which makes me think that it'll be somewhat extensive. If that's around four hours and the others are around the same time that the HQ DLC took to complete (which is two hours according to HowLongtoBeat), then that would be fair. Of course we won't know the exact time they take to complete until they're released. But this at least answers what is in the DLC. And from that you can see that the cost is really down to them making story content.

The way season passes have been getting discounted, before even all the content is out, this year you'd have to be dumb to pay full price.

Does Gamestop let you preload games? Seems like that's the place to buy from if you want all the preorder bonuses. The Red Robin DLC wont expire for 9.5 years so most likely only chance to get it.
Not certain it will be worth the hassle of not being able to play minute one.

Playing as Batgirl, okay that's pretty sweet. Several story missions, if they are meaty enough (Catgirl/Nightwing from Arkham City), might very well be worth buying. But I just really doubt the Season Pass will be worth $40.
About these Batmobiles, are the racetracks they are talking about just for cruising around and enjoying the looks of the vehicles, or are they actual races?

Yep they let you take the game home and preload it then give it back, or bring in your console and preload it.
lol no they don't . Don't believe what I said.
There's no way they're going to keep Red Hood DLC exclusive. It'll be an exclusive preorder and then shortly after release people will be able to purchase it, like with Alien Isolation DLC.

Definitely interested in Gotham City Stories and the Batgirl DLC, but I doubt I'll pay 40 bucks for a season pass just for two things. Hopefully I can just pick them up separately.

still not worth 40 bucks.

if it's good, I'll buy that content for $20.

The Season of Infamy feels like it might be Dick Grayson-Batman under the hood.

I was hoping they'd just give a code that i could plug in and get the usual countdown. Has GS never down preloading? I thought for some reason Destiny had that. Could very easily be wrong.
I was mostly basing the 10 years thing off this:

Don't get suckered into another WB Games season pass, people. All of them have been half-assed, short, and overpriced even though they sound good on paper. Not to mention they get bundled with the inevitable GOTY edition the beginning of the following year.
At least wait until the first piece of content to see if it's actually substantial (hint: it probably isn't).

Race tracks? Like the Batmobile arcade game or the Sega CD version of Batman Returns?
I would like to see the skins in the actual game.
The idea of Batgirl is intriguing. She looks fantastic and I hope she has her own vehicle? Maybe? Please?

3 pages in and no mentions of Boob Armor
love the almost slap at the end

Most of the Gamestop pre-orders I can remember have had that, it's just when their code expires, not an exclusivity contract with the DLC or anything.
