Finally settled on where to get it. Toys R Us.

Buy 2 get 1 free. So a buddy & I went there at lunch. I bought Arkham City & Ratchet Clank and he got the new Hockey game. We thirded the costs and basically got $20 off each game.

By the way - the $30 gift card deal at K-Mart is sweet, but the card is only good for next week. If you try to use it after the 29th it's useless.

TRU's copy also comes with the Bronze Age costume (i.e. Adams, Aparo, Newton).

I tried out some of the challenge maps.

Batman fights differently than Catwoman who fights differently than Robin.

Batman is pure muscle, close strikes with more damage. You have to use the counter button

Catwoman is acrobatics, flips and kick with hits taking her across the arena floor. With her the counter button is not really necessary

Robin is in between. His staff does damage but not as much as Batman while his jumps and acrobatics don't travel as far as Catwoman. Sometimes the counter button is necessary.

Do you have to unlock the Catwoman pack right away? Or can you start a game first and unlock it whenever? Does it only take effect with a new game?

When you put the disc in, it asks if you want to unlock Catwoman (if you have the code, included in a new game), buy it (if you don't have the code) or ignore it. Supposedly the game plays a little differently if you don't have Catwoman.

That's why I bought it. I figured Gamefly would not send me the code.

Yeah, I just put it in.. I don't want to have to re-start the game if unlocking Catwoman only takes effect in New Games.. so I guess I'll download it now.

I was going to suggest playing it without Catwoman to see if it actually plays differently.
