Man, some of you guys are crazy.
We get to be batman and cruise around the city in the batmobile.
Even though super graphnel boost is faster I find my self driving more often then not because how fun and powerful the batmobile feels. You don't really get stuck on anything in the environment because the batmobile just smashes through everything. Side swiping other vehicles feels great, or just straight up ramming them at full speed.. I love it.
I've always wanted to be able to play the batmobile, and I think Rocksteady delivered. While the hand to hand combat is better than ever, they have added a ton of extra moves, it's nice to change the pace with the batmobile tank sections, where things a bit more simple, yet can still get really hectic.
I feel like without the addition of the batmobile, it wouldn't have felt like a new game. It would have just been City again, in a larger city with a different story. I love City to death, and it's still probably my favorite game, so I didn't really need more of the same. I'm glad they mixed it up.
To me knight feels like a proper sequel to City. It ups the stakes, ups the crazy, and ups the gadgets - the batmobile being the biggest and baddest gadget of them all. And it does what it should do in a sequel, add a big new element to the series that's a natural part of the characters/games history. If all the batmobile did was drive, it wouldn't have been as interesting.
Bring on the batmobile dlc. I've been fighting dudes on foot for 3 games. The change of pace is nice. And gives me more reasons to come back and keep playing it. Since beating the game on normal and ng+ challenges and just messing around in the world are all that's left. And fucking around in the batmobile is a huge part of that for me.

If I had a complaint, it's hiding the ending behind Ridler trophies, I will get them all at some point, but, like many others, I just watched the final part on youtube.
Also, I wish catwomen wasn't locked away the whole game. Would have liked to see her more involved in the story.
Batmobile as a whole was a great addition, and if you haven't played the game, give it a shot don't listen the negative hyperbole in this thread.
It's really not the end if the world.
