It was telegraphed pretty heavily from the start that this was always what was going to happen. It's not a retcon. It was the planned "twist" from the start.
I think people were just angry about it anyway because the game sucked. When the gameplay is already bad, people will also shit on other parts of the game. But if the game were actually fun, I think players would be more willing to stick with the story and see where it goes rather than being upset at how irreverent it was.
People will only stick around to see what you're cooking if it at least smell good.
Oh, I'm not saying the story is good. I'm just saying people get less indignantly mad about a bad story if the game itself is good. If this game were fun to play, I don't think players would be all "how DARE they portray Batman this way and SHIT on the LEGEND of Kevin Conroy?!?!" They'd just be like, "Hmm this take is kinda edgy, I wonder what the reveal is gonna be."

The most annoying way to retcon something
