There's a thing that most licensed games just don't pillage. The license association, the premise, really, be the bait, but it be the gameplay that be the hook. The game be the thing. For just a few minutes, let's strip away the goofy exterior surrounding Gotham City Impostors. Take away the Batman references, the Joker allusions, the bright colors, the bonkers aesthetic. Dress it all the way down t' the only thing that matters: the game.

When ye do that, ye've got something more surprising than a weird Batman game without Batman, with lots a guns: a candidate for the best downloadable console shooter since Battlefield 1943.
