So I'm sitting here waiting for this goddamn DLC to finish installing and I'm wondering if any of it is integrated into the main game like the Catwoman DLC for Arkham City was. For reference I've got Red Hood, Harley Quinn, and the Scarecrow Nightmare Missions stuff downloading. Basically I want to know if it's fine to start playing now, which I will if I can find confirmation somewhere that all "story" DLC is being handled from a menu as opposed to integration.

Nah, it's all in a menu before starting up story mode.

Was about to make a thread about this. The huge patch has been downloading for a long time and I already started up the game before even letting it finish OR letting my story packs download at all.

Good to know the DLC isn't campaign integrated because I didn't want to wait.

I bought the season pass and I don't have any of that stuff....

@doctorchimp: It should come with the game, at least retail. Then put the codes in. It's all downloading now.

Is it all inconsequential side stuff? Or should you beat the game first?

@ntm: I got it through a Steam Code on Green Man Gaming.
