Fine content-wise, but several performance issues.
Most notably cutscenes run at a low framerate by design, lips can be off sync with spoken dialogue quite obviously, also dialogue didn't play during a certain cutscene, just other sounds.
Also experienced several crashes during the main story playthrough.
Re-tested with newer firmware from 2025:
Part of the Batman: Return to Arkham package.
All content completed including DLC and new game plus.
Platinum trophy unlocked.
Gameplay and real time cutscenes run at 60fps while pre rendered cutscenes run at 30fps.
Minor frame stutter occurs most of the time when moving to a new area such as emerging from the underground railway to the surface or while gliding with detective mode turned on.
Had a non repeatable game crash in the inmate processing area after entering a door and activating detective mode.
An A posing duplicate Penguin can be found at the Arkham prisoner entrance where the player first meets him.
When Harley is finished talking to you underneath Joker's office, the grate below her will be in the detective mode hue for a split second if you had it enabled before triggering the cutscene.
Had a game crash in a late game fight at the Inmate Processing area in New Game Plus when multiple explosions were occurring at the same time. The crash could not be repeated despite redoing the entire section again in a similar amount of time to progress.
