The problem is that we didn&#8217;t expect it to deteriorate so quickly. It took only three more games (&#8216;City&#8217;, &#8216;Origins&#8217;, and &#8216;Knight&#8217;) for the saga to completely fall apart with mistakes like <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/suicide-squad-kill-the-justice-league-has-failed-and-shows-that-games-as-a-service-are-not-liked\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">&#8216;Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League&#8217;<\/a> or the mobile game &#8216;Arkham Underground&#8217;. <strong>But we didn&#8217;t see this coming.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Batman: Arkham Asylum\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/87558b9e-96d4-11e6-99e8-00163ed833e7\/4096601279\/batman-arkham-asylum-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Batman: Arkham Asylum<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/batman-arkham-asylum.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/batman-arkham-asylum.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s happening in VR<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The next game in the franchise, in a spiral towards nonsense, is &#8216;Batman: Arkham Shadow&#8217;, which finally continues the franchise ten years after its last installment and of which we only know two things. One, the official description, which adds nothing new (<em>&#8220;Evil is in the streets. Gotham City is in danger. And only you can stop it&#8221;<\/em>).
