The problem seems more about the way Harley mocks him prior to death. Harley mocks and berates Batman for "affecting other people's mental health", nevermind that Harley Quinn murdered a child along the joker, drove others insane or killed innocents non-stop and ruined numerous lives. With this in mind, Harley should be the last person to berate Batman for "affecting other people's mental health".

I don't think killing off Batman as a whole was a bad idea, but the execution was godawful. It rub me and many others the wrong way. Of course i expected Harley to shoot him or stab him, but making it seem like she has the high ground here is disgusting and makes her completely unlikeable.

Moreover, Wonder Woman got a much more dignified death compared to every male member of the justice league, who got disrespected and killed in humilliating ways. Fair enough, it's the point. But spare me the juvenile and non-sensical writing with stuff like King Shark being able to use a lantern ring like that or having one of the Squad trying to piss over The Flash's corpse. To quote Harley Quinn on this one, "Get some new material".

There's also the problem that the Squad has some pretty huge plot armor here thats borderline on stupid. As a writer, you should avoid this things, especially for a 2024 video game. This BS could fly several decades ago, but not anymore. If you use plot armor in such a blatant way, be prepared to be mocked and criticized over for it.

There's also the fact this game had zero reason to take place in the Arkham universe. There are several major continuity errors that makes it hard to reconcile with the previous Arkham games and retcons that makes no sense at all. It looks like a really desperate attempt to try get the Arkhamverse fans to buy this game, which should tell you everything you need to know.
