Goofs
In this game, Batman uses a grapnel boost. It was featured in the previous Batman: Arkham City, which takes place six years after the events of this game. In the previous installment, Alfred mentions that the grapnel boost is a new prototype gadget that hasn't been used.

Quotes
Alfred Pennyworth: Master Bruce. Stop. Master Bruce. BRUCE!
Bruce Wayne: What are you...
Alfred Pennyworth: I will not in good conscience allow you to go. You are outmatched by these assassins and...
Bruce Wayne: I'm what?
Alfred Pennyworth: ...you're not some hardened vigilante. You're a young man with a trust fund and too much anger. You are in over your head and I don't want this to be your end.
Bruce Wayne: Alfred, who do you see when you look at me? The boy whose shoes you used to tie every morning, the teenager you drove to his first date? While you are here every night, I am out there... the ONLY THING between the innocent and the predatory...
Alfred Pennyworth: You may be, but...
Bruce Wayne: No, not 'may be'. I am. When the mugger or the thief stop to think twice, that is fear. That is what I am. That is why they hired assassins - because I am the reason the criminals breathe easier when the sun rises. So no, Alfred, I am NOT in over my head. Tonight will not be my end. But it will be theirs.

Batman at any cost

So this third game of the Arkham Saga you must know that this game is not really an official game because it is not the same publishing house that created the first two So as I have already said in the previous ones I will talk about two things always the first is the story So this timeThis game is a prequel So in this story they don't really tell from the beginning the story of Batman which was never mentioned when Batman was a wanted man Then Commissioner Gordon wants everything to set Batman up but at the same time another person also wants it or the black mask who has hired assassins that's how they want to take him Batman is Batman has to sign all this So what do I think of the story for me the story Among the four games I consider it the most beautiful for me it was better than all because in this story we really have a beautiful Batman and U. SBatman who was seen in Arkham City who seemed like an idiot instead in this Origin for me it was really beautiful for example that this is a Batman who wants every way to save Gotham and no he uses any way to save that hateful bounty for something that doesn't matter to meI like it I didn't like That black mask was actually the Joker Ugh But it's really impossible that they always put this character in everything interesting you find him it seems like he's just a black mask and a bad guy No why do I have to put the Jokers every day the story I rate 8.5 Alice let's start thereplayability The only negative thing about playability if this game is set in the past how is it possible that everything is very sophisticated compared to the previous two which had increased in the present the same thing that also happened in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and then this time the map it's for all of Gotham City since the previous two which were set on the island of Arkham Asylum is arkham city and then the movements are really fantastic and then this time to go to places much further away flying vehicle and then here there are a lot of resignations secondary but the one that II like it much more when Batman investigates murder cases. This one is much more beautiful regarding the game. I found it very beautiful, unlike the second one but less beautiful than the first and I can't wait to talk about the last game too to conclude I vote 8.5.
