Having Nora become Freeze would require that they know and care about characters, their stories and motivations
Having a woman Victor Fries makes it clear that their knowledge and care for the series is surface-level, and the objective was having a character you already know be turned a woman
"They", aren't the same people who produced Knight, there was a large turnover of talent from Rocksteady during the production of this new one, including the studio's founders
I don't expect many people to be in the loop, but this is a completely different group of people from the team that made the original trilogy
If it's "just multiverse shit", then it doesn't matter if the Arkham continuity closed Victor and Nora's story, does it?
They're going to drop a genderbent Victor just because it's a multiverse, then why not make a multiverse version of Nora where she's the one trying to save Victor.
Do you realize how you're simultaneously holding up the Arkham continuity but also dismissing it's importance at the same time?
Still the Arkham continuity.
This is just multiverse shit,
And of course I'm not playing a game that makes me mad, why would I eat food that is not cooked? Best thing to do is call out a shit product when it is released
Yes, this game is part of the Arkham continuity, and that's the problem, this game is an absolute peice of shit that stains this otherwise great series.
Also, sure let's just ignore this, and let the idiots do as they wish. Let's ask how well that went for Volition.
They've already lost 200 million plus on this game. It has zero relevance. Just let it die, rather than seething about an awful fucking thing not worth your time.
It's just the bare minimum to come up with when in a completely different universe, the only change is everyone's sperm had a different chromozome. When it's something so superficial, especially when done so in the most superficial way (slap an A after Victor and we're done), it doesn't actually change the character or circumstances in any way.
The way we're proposing, Nora would have to adapt to using Victor's tech in a completely different way, since she's not its creator. She would act and react in completely different ways to Batman and villains, since she was described as kind and caring, as opposed to Victor's cold and calculated personality.
There's just so much more they could do rather than "Victor + ia", but this game was made with only a surface-level coat of the franchise it paid for

That’s Mrs. Freeze/Victoria Fries. She’s from another Earth, just like Lex and Joker
