4. The New Main Character Inclusions Feel Natural
So, as of time of writing there are seven confirmed playable characters; Batman, Robin, Nightwing, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, Jason Todd and Batgirl - however aside from Batman only three of them appeared in City, and only two had any say in the main canon. It might simply be that Rocksteady go "Well, Batman's allies were always around - you just didn't see them!" which is serviceable enough - especially as Nightwing operates in neighbour city Bludhaven - but considering how dire a situation Bruce found himself in halfway through City, you'd think Oracle might've called on someone like the original Boy Wonder to save his skin. Instead he was relegated to DLC alongside the others, with the newer Robin only popping in to deliver an item halfway through the story, never to be seen again. As AK is addressing all 75 years of Batman's history in terms of certain memorable characters from both sides of the fence, that's a lot of introductions and motivations for each. All round it's going to be a far larger and more epic affair, which as City and especially Asylum felt like focussed and believable tales centred around specific areas and characters that all got their due, it could lead to a huge lack of focus as Rocksteady plump for straight-up fan service.
