Ok, so we've all gotten it, played it, and loved it. However, just one thing REALLY irks me about this game and I'm sure it's irking others as well. It's Catwoman as a playable character. If you were worried about whether getting her is a deciding factor, it's not, not at all. She sucks, 100% and I'm going to tell you why.
Her moveset is basic at best, there are very limited upgrades, she isn't used that frequently, merely thrown in for sex appeal, and her story only just BARELY crosses over into Batman's. Yes, that's right, you just read that correctly, SHE SUCKS and is COMPLETELY unnecessary. She feels like an afterthought. Let's break this down, shall we?
First, her moveset. It's extremely basic with NO upgrade options except for armor. Really? Seems, like Bat's got all the love on that one. Her thief vision sucks as well. It's hard to see in, doesn't list ANYTHING, can't be used to tag trophies, and it doesn't display the number of badguys or what they are armed with. Really? So when I'm sneaking through a room it can't be bothered to tell me if they all have guns??? I have to find that out the hardway by getting spotted which you will because like I said, it sucks. She also gets zero upgrades except in the instances of ballistic armor and combat armor, oh and a few whip attacks. That's it. No cool gadgets or toys, and no real sense of character.
Secondly, she's not used that much, hardly at all actually. Right at the beginning you get a chance to experience her. At this point, that's kinda cool right, well yes and no. She's used a total of FOUR times, the entire game and it's story, that's it. Four fucking times, 2 times right at the beginning and then she's gone more then half the game, and then you get her right towards the very end. OH and her segments aren't even that long, try less then 30 min each. So like 2 hours max. Hardly a "PLAYABLE" character if you ask me.
Right off the bat, you can tell she was thrown in merely for sex appeal. She's in a super skimpy leather outfit, with giant boobs just begging to pop out. Sure, Ok sex appeal I can go for that but at least have some depth...which she doesn't. Her story sucks too btw. It can be summed up in a paragraph.
The final and absolute reason it pisses me off. We were told that her story would cross over into Batman's a play a key role in it. HAH, AHAHAHAHA, HAH FUCKING HAH! No it' doesn't! It doesn't even come CLOSE to over lapping it. You want to know how close? HE saves her at a point in the game, and she saves him at a point in the game, THAT'S IT. That's how close it comes to overlapping. Fucking lame.
If you are thinking about buying her for 10 bucks, DON'T. She sucks, is completley unnecessary and is a waste of disk space IMO. It was a cool idea that fell flat on it's face becacuse it wasn't given enough love and attention. Rocksteady should not have said she is a playable character because I find the whole thing to be an insult.
Sure the way she moves and fights is interesting, but that doesn't make a character playable.
Plus if you get the DLC content you are just trippling the amount of work to platinum. You have to do her trophies and then the SAME Riddler's Revenge Challenges that you do with Bats, you don't even get different ones.
Catwoman had to be the biggest disappointment to me with that game. It's not a game killer by any means, but it irks me and pisses me off. Then they have the nerve to charge 10 bucks for it? I don't think so. She should have been free for how little she really is.
I recommend not even getting her DLC and just play the stock game. Waste of damn time, that was.

Catwoman is better than batman because = tits. Just sayin'. Suck my nut.
Actually, she does ruin the game. At the ending. Think about it. You go through that epic ending of fighting clayface, then and emotional bit where Joker dies once again. He goes through a somewhat slow death that he accidentally caused himself, then Batman carries the Joker's body out to the police and walks away quietly. It was awesome. THEN, the game fucks with you and says "Oh, by the way, you have one more mission that is really annoying and challenging because the enemies respawn and you will die a lot because catwoman is not a very good character when it comes to strategy. She ruined the ending, I wish I could remove her content, but I have the PC version, so it is there forever. It comes built into the main code.
