Batman: Arkham Insurgency - 10 Things It Must Learn From Knight

8. ...But Keep The Most Wanted Missions

The easiest way to dip into the biggest list of Batman's villains in the quickest amount of time is through the 'Most Wanted' missions; small, focused introductions and executions on everyone from Two-Face to Professor Pyg.

Arkham Knight's only issue was each one only took around 10-15 minutes to get through. Two Face's in particular were just three stealthy Predator missions, Hush's was a barely interactive cutscene-cum-fakeout, and even Mr. Freeze's DLC was a glorified fetch-quest. Whilst the base idea of "Here are a bunch of villains loose in Gotham" is serviceable, they have next to no staying power or memorability if they're played off as an annoyance, or something you're checking off a list.

To that end, trim the villain pool and create more memorable missions that get away from the notion of just 'rounding up' what should be a formidable challenge. Arkham Knight implied that all of the Rogue's Gallery were working together, for example, but we never got a sense of that other than Scarecrow and Arkham Knight - more Batman 'taking care of business' like swatting a number of semi-identifiable flies.
