8. Arkham Knight's DLC Broached Some Really Interesting Questions

Despite the mixed response to Arkham Knight's finale, some of the post-game DLC did approach it in an interesting way. There was GCPD Lockdown - a segment where you played Nightwing to reclaim the GCPD building from criminals - Catwoman's Revenge, which followed the eponymous character as she settled her feud with Riddler; and A Flip of a Coin, which centred around Robin's efforts to apprehend Two-Face.

Out of these, there were only two that really tried to address the implications of Arkham Knight's ending, and those were the two that revolved around Robin and Nightwing. GCPD Lockdown saw Dick Grayson try to put out the fires left behind by the events of the main story, while the latter gave players a view into how Tim Drake was dealing with the Dark Knight's apparent death.

Bear in mind that Bruce Wayne kept his true fate a secret from his own family, and it's easy to see how Rocksteady could centre a story around them uncovering what really happened to Batman.

Who better to lead that than an outside force?
