The verdict
A visually stunning, deeply atmospheric Batman finale with the series' best combat and traversal. Skip it if forced Batmobile tank sections or a 243-trophy Riddler grind for the true ending sound miserable.
Great for
Batman fans who want fluid combat, stealth and a gorgeous Gotham, and can tolerate lots of Batmobile and collectibles
Main risk
Mandatory, repetitive Batmobile tank sections and Riddler trophy grind can sour the experience
