** Worse due to the fact that Batman is among the leaguers controlled by Brainiac. It was thought by many fans that Bruce was gone after the end of ''Arkham Knight'', only to have to fight him and potentially kill him in this game. Considering Arkhamverse fans have played as Batman/Bruce for 7 years, the facts that he is among one the targets and this being one of Kevin Conroy's final roles before his passing makes it doubly sad and some would argue, distasteful.

* Diana goes down fighting Superman, successfully stabbing him in the chest with a big chunk of Kryptonite. However, it's not enough, and he blasts her with enough heat vision to ''incinerate her'', and it only benches him for a while as he flees back to Brainiac's ship. Diana's last words are her begging the Squad to prove her wrong and step up to the task of defeating the remainder of the League and Brainiac.

But I never stopped being Bruce Wayne, citizen of Gotham. Remember that we are all handed adversity in our lives. No one's journey is easy. It's how we handle that, how we help others, that makes us unique. That's what the Batman will always stand for." Metropolis, we'll get through this. And Batman, goodbye. You will be missed but never forgotten.

* Harley ends up shooting Batman. For a very brief moment at the end of the scene, once the gun goes off and Batman is dead, Harley ''genuinely looks sad''. Remember, this is the ''Arkham Batman'', a Batman we knew and loved for over a decade, one whose journey we followed for four whole games, dead at the hands of one of his rogues. The somber rendition of his theme music is the final twist of the knife.
