The DLC shows again the good and the bad sides of WBM.
The story and design is great, the small new additions and extras are nice.
But the story would have needed a couple of more cutscenes or something that goes deeper into the story.
They arent brave enough to do more new things, this is what rocksteady does good, they find something new and do it fully, while WBM is to careful and holds back on what they could do.
Also i think the DLC would have worked better, without the "open world" possibility.
Gothcorp looks awesome, the buildings in the arkham series have a strong atmosphere, so having the DLC completley inside Gothcorp would have been a better idea IMO.
Also we have the storywise rushing again, it feels like Mr freezes "transformation" and the whole story happended in a month or less, i dont know how much time passed in the comics from freezes "accident" to his first apperance, but it feels rushed.
I feel that WBM has an extreme problem in general with the timeline and all that, the main game messed up pretty much on some parts......but i digress.
What i really like, is the feeling of the DLC.
It felt like a good old animated show episode.
Not too long and not too short, the overall feeling is really good for the DLC.
I will play the DLC a couple of times, that is sure.
