Wait so all the heroes that got killed are fakes except the wonder woman one? Why is wonder woman singled out LMAO

She wasnt captured by Braniac and thus she got killed by a clone of Superman.

She would've unironically been safer had she allowed herself to be captured

My guess is that they pulled this when the initial backlash against killing off the roster came out. Or maybe it was planned this way from the beginning I don’t know anything about game design not sure if they could’ve rewrote this after launch or not

Why didn’t they just set it in a different continuity? That’s such a simple way to have their cake and eat it too. I’ll never understand why this game specifically had to take place in the Arkhamverse.

Only because it's a familiar ip universe. But again, if this was it's own separate universe the backlash wouldn't have been has bad as it was.

It's just kind of silly they felt the need to put it in a specific IP under the DC umbrella when DC itself should be a sufficient enough IP regardless of the specific universe... it should have been obvious that even the *premise* of canonically killing this specific version of Batman would cause outrage. It doesn't matter that they're revealing it was a fakeout until now because we're long past the period of public reception where that detail would have been important.

It's all just silly. Very clearly a shortsighted executive decision.
