Batman: Assault on Arkham (2014)

Set in the Arkham Games universe, this seemed like a test run of the 2016 Suicide Squad. In all honesty, this should have the Suicide Squad in the title rather than Batman. But I guess Batman is a better sell. It is fun and the different personalities mesh well together. Batman pops in periodically but it is the Harley and Deadshot show with the squad as supporting characters. This is definitely geared toward boys with all the half-naked villain girls but only one guy shirtless. This could have been better but it is hard to hate something with Harley Quinn’s insane self at the center. It is a good time all around.
