SPOILER ALERT! Unintentional Spoilers maybe present in the review. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!



The rating I am currently giving the Batman Arkham Knight Season Pass is tentative and will most likely change once the Season Pass DLC is all released. As of this writing the only thing that is currently available thru this season pass is the Batman flashpoint skin, which by itself is not worth the $40 dollars at this time. According to Rocksteady all the Pre-order Exclusive DLC that is currently available if you pre-ordered the Arkham Knight WILL NOT be available to the Season Pass until sometime in Late August/Early September 2015 which is the following DLC...

- The Harley Quinn Story Pack (2.5 out of 5 stars)

The DLC can be accessed through the "Arkham Episodes" option on your Main Menu of the game once installed.

Synopsis: This takes place just before the events of the Main Arkham Knight Story Line "The City Of Fear" where you play as Harley Quinn on orders from Scarecrow and Penguin to break out Poison Ivy of The Bludheaven Police lockup so you can bring her to the big meeting that Scarecrow will be having with the other villains of Batman's Rouge Gallery.

The Pros: You get to play as Harley Quinn and use unique gadgets, specialized Baseball Bat, and her unique fighting style. Great Graphics, Control movements, and the best part her "Psychotic Vision" (Instead of Detective Vision) were when in use you get to hear all of Harley's self doubts become vocal.

The Cons: WAAAYYYY to short, you can literally beat this in less that a half hour. Just as you are really getting into it the DLC ends.

Overall: Had alot of potential that never came to light, this was a big disappointment to me and feel Rocksteady screwed over the fans on. As my son puts it "It's the equivalent of a extended Predator Challenge Map". Fortunately I got this for free with my game so I did not put any money out on.

- The Red Hood Story Pack

The DLC can be accessed through the "Arkham Episodes" of the Main Menu Menu of the game once installed.

- The Scarecrow Nightmare Missions (PlayStation 4 Exclusive, Now available at the PlayStation store as well)

The DLC can be accessed through the "AR Challenges" of your Main Menu of the game once installed.

- The First Appearance of Batman Skin (Detective Comic #27, 1939) *

- The New 52 Exclusive Skins (If you have a PlayStation 4 this is a free download via the PlayStation Store as of this writing) *

- The 60's TV Batman (Adam West) , Justice League 3000, and The 60's TV Show Batmobile skin Pack *



On top of the ones that I just mentioned Rocksteady will also be releasing the following DLC either around the same time frame as the pre-order DLC or later in 2015....

- Batgirl: A Matter of Family (4.25 out of 5 stars, Released to Season Pass Holders starting July 14th, 2015 and to everyone else July 21st, 2015)

The DLC can be accessed through the "Arkham Episodes" option on your Main Menu of the game once installed.

Synopsis: In this DLC you get to play as Barbara Gordon as Batgirl at the peak of her physical abilities before the events of the "Killing Joke" which then confines her into a wheelchair. The Story starts you out as Batgirl meeting up with Robin (Tim Drake) at a Oil Rig station that has been converted/turned into an amusement park to rescue Commissioner Gordon (Barbara's Father) from the Joker who is using him and other members of the GCPD as bait to lure the Batman's protege's into what Joker hopes to be there doom. In the Batman Arkham Universe I would say this story probably takes place about 2 or 3 years before Arkham Asylum.

The Pros: You get to play for the first time as a fully functional Batgirl that exhibits both her physical fighting style and intellectual skills (Not like in "Injustice" where you just get to use her fighting skills). Great Story campaign with alot of the same game play from the main Arkham Knight game but with some slight variations. Has an interesting side mission reminiscent of the Arkham Asylum History concerning the history behind the amusement park. Great performance as usual by Mark Hamill as the Joker.

The Cons: Harley really just has an extended Cameo, Rocksteady has really wasted this character's potential now in 2 DLC's, would have like to seen more of her. Some of the game play felt a little reminiscent of the Harley Quinn's Revenge DLC from Arkham City (Popping Balloon's through out the park). I understand this is a DLC but would have liked to see maybe a gadget upgrade or two other than just the standard stock.

Overall: A Vast improvement over the Harley Quinn Story Pack (and from what I hear I am sure the Red Hood one as well) with at least 4 to 5 hours of gameplay (Including the little side stuff) and when the main campaign ends to continue play the side stuff you may have not had time to take care of during the main campaign, for those who like collecting their trophies like I do.

- The Season of Infamy

- Episodes from Gotham City (Additional Story Packs DLC's)

- Additional Skins. *



* All skins can be accessed through the "Showcase" option of your Main Menu of the game once installed.



Now $40 dollars under normal circumstances for a Season Pass I would consider outrages but if Rocksteady comes through on their content they are promising to deliver than the $40 would be a pittance com paired to the $15 to $20 per Story Pack DLC for each.



I'll keep updating this post when more information comes available.
