How many DLC's were released for this game (were they worth it?)... I haven't played the game since release so Im wondering what Im missing out on?

^^^ theres a couple of them but they were mostly Challenges instead of continuing the story like Harley's revenge. You might want to get the Game of the Year edition, it comes with all the Content including skins and challenges.

naw Im not that hardcore, lol. Ill have to find out more about these DLC's. I was planning on playing the game again. I think after 5+ years of "online games" Im starting to enjoy more "offline" games again more. There really fun all of a sudden again like this one was when I played it first.

I was a hardcore COD onliner for about 3 years and just exhausted myself, lol, and now I suck at online FPS games! I was one of the top gamers online on COD4.

I got it yesterday and it adds a little bit to the story . You play as Robin and goes back to Batman, pretty good for $10.00 . If you enjoyed the game you'll enjoy this too

Summed up perfectly, to a tee.

It's nothing groundbreaking, or revolutionary, but it expands upon the excellent storyline and game. Plus it's pretty cool that it features Robin, too. I don't think it'd have been worth the £6 odd I paid for it if it was just Batman as like I said, it's nothing groundbreaking.

Quite looking forward to the sequel. It'd seem that they're going to play on Batman's emotions following the events in Arkham City. Quite liked what they did, regarding this, in the DLC.

The next game in the Batman Arkham series will be a prequel featuring characters such as Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern and the Flash.

According to a report by Variety, the story will centre on Batman’s first encounter with the Joker and draw heavily from DC’s ‘50s comic book series that saw the formation of the Justice League of America.

The report also speculates that the title is aiming for a 2014 release date “at the earliest.”

Finally, Variety also mentions that Arkham Asylum sold in the region of 4.3m units, while the latest instalment, Arkham City, reached over 6 million.
