Released mid 2012, and the only story content DLC for Arkham City. As the title suggests Harley Quinn comes up with her own revenge scheme on Batman, following the events of the story in the base game.
The story spans two different timelines. You play as both Batman and Robin, the latter is on the path to find Batman after he's goes missing during the hunt for a grieving Harley, who has captured a bunch of cops.
It's great getting to play as Robin, I've always loved getting to play as others in the Arkham series, but it's always limited to just challenge maps. Now we get a whole story that has a new playable hero, equipped with his own abilities. The story blends well together as you swap between the dynamic duo throughout.
Robin plays very similar to Batman, besides being able to glide around. Robin is also equipped with a shield capable of blocking bullets, which always comes in handy. Robin is also armed with a big stick making it simpler to knock out some thugs.
It's a interesting story, it keeps you engaged while you try to figure how the world's greatest detective went missing. It's relatively short, but that's often the case with DLC unfortunately. There's also a great end boss fight with Harley Quinn, a bit different to the usual ones as it's entirely stealth focused.
It updates the ending, but it's not really a necessity to get it, but as with the Arkham series, their content is always brilliantly developed. If you don't think this is the greatest DLC to exist, you'll certainly see more good points than bad. In my eyes it's easily worth it.
3.6/5
