   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. AWESOME DLC. Great story with two playable characters Batman and Robin and a couple of new enemy's. The Dlc may feel a little short clocking in at only about 1 hour and 15 min, but is still worth a buy, plus there is one new great Easter egg: Hint when you enter the steel mill and walk into the room with Harley's old costume look over by the window and you will know.… Expand

   This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The title of the content says it all. Harley is back. She is angry about her late boyfriend Joker's death at the conclusion of the main game and she wants revenge on Batman.
   
   So what's a psychotic psychiatrist to do? Capture Batman of course....
   
   No real changes really to gameplay unless you have not downloaded the Robin DLC. In that case you will have a new character to play as along with Batman. Robin is more of a versatile and lethal fighter. He has some interesting gadgets that includes a collapsible bow staff as his main weapon, remote sticky bombs, a bullet shield, shurikens (Robin's version of batarangs) and his grapnel gun is more of combat tool than a way to get around, even though it still serves travel purposes. Again still the same core gameplay, just with Robin's animations and gadgets.
   
   The story bounces between Batman and Robin between different segments: Robin searching for Batman and Batman getting caught and later saving the day. This only takes place in one district of Arkham City so forget free-roaming the city.
   
   A lot of people thought this was going to be a huge extension to the shocking conclusion of Arkham City, but on that note it fell through. With all the hype for this DLC and it being easily complete in one sitting or two it just felt like a missed opportunity. All we get is a few dialog snippets that hints at Batman being emotionally compromised after the Joker's death, and the rest plays out like a 30 minute Batman Animated episode Arkham City style. Plus the collectibles or hunt for balloons feels tacked on and a waste of time. All the enemies are the same just with a new paint job. Harley herself is a retread of the Two-Face from the main game playing as Catwoman.
   
   This is a nice gift for the Game of the Year buyers, but for consumers who already own the game it can feel like a bit of a rip off.
   
   After all is said the DLC is fun to play and experience, but it falls way short on delivering any impact that that this still young Batman game series is so well known for.… Expand

Not in Harley Quinn's Revenge. It's a fun, one hour ride that puts you in the Boy Wonder's shoes, but it does nothing special to the main story from start to finish. There are no answers to your questions and it destroys one of the biggest hopes for the Batman: Arkham 3 game.… Expand

   Disgustingly short. High amount of time in a partially new, very small area (Backtracking.). 1 new enemy type. Not worth $10. Would be worthDisgustingly short. High amount of time in a partially new, very small area (Backtracking.). 1 new enemy type. Not worth $10. Would be worth $5. Go on YouTube and watch a "Let's Play" of it. You'll get more enjoyment out of not being ripped off.… Expand
