In The Batman’s final act, Gotham undergoes a major transformation, and it is one directly inspired by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s excellent run of Batman comics. While it is great to see this story acknowledged in live action, it would be even more fun to experience in video game form. WARNING: Spoilers for The Batman ahead.
