[edit] Description
Members of Batman's supporting cast of allies also appear in the cinematics of the game, including Oracle, Robin, and Batgirl. Nightwing does not appear, but is mentioned in dialogue as possible backup leading into the climax of the game.
Many precedents of the comics are cited, especially as it pertains to Ra's Al Ghul, and Batman's "undefined" relationship with Al Ghul's daughter, Talia.
[edit] Reception
The game was heavily bashed by critics because of its confusing game play engine, its repetitive mission modes, and its extremely awkward camera angle. The end of the game is also criticized because there is no direction to the "fulfilling ending" of the story, unless you look to another source (I.E. the internet, or a player's guide.) Game Informer even gave this game a 0.75 out 10 for its unacceptable gameplay.
Although the gameplay was heavily criticised, the story and the in game cinematics were widely praised. The story was written by veteran monthly Batman writer Scott Peterson, with assistance of famed Final Fantasy writer Kenji Terada. The villains in the story include Black Mask, Scarface and the Ventriloquist, The Ratcatcher, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Mr. Zsasz, The Joker, and Ra's Al Ghul.
