When we reported that Batman: Arkham Knight got the Money, er, excuse me, Mature-rating from the ESRB, our crack commenting team speculated that it might be due to the Red Hood missions you can only get by preordering from GameStop. Chalk one up to the team because it looks like they were right.

That’s… very Gears of War of you, Rocksteady. I’m not complaining; we’re going to have plenty of gargoyle-clinging and mook-punching in the actual game, and I actually prefer it when developers use DLC to explore new ideas.
