    I just entered my codes and I'm downloading the content now. Each download is like 21 MB for the skins. The Catwoman Bundle Pack is 252.34 MB. I'm not sure how big the Iceberg Lounge Challenge Map is. Is this all not on the disc DLC?

    It looks like it, ive downloaded the cartoon skin, batman beyond skin, and the carnival map and they've all taken a couple minutes.

    Much like the day one PhysX patch for the PC version of the original game, I suspect this is an effort to combat piracy and not give pirates that content. At least without making them wait/work for it a little. People might rip a console ISO of the disc and this way they don't get the 'bonus' content too.

    Now, people won't rage about '' locked content on disc'', won't they?

    People get so stupid about that stuff. We already live in a world were it happens in every other game, precedent has been well established, just put it on disc to save the server cost and give me a faster download.

    But then people would bitch and complain about potentially having to pay for content they "already own on the disk".

    How big is the retail disc? Maybe they had to push it off the disk?

    So now are people going to complain about taking time to actually download DLC, instead of just getting it mad quick like on-disc DLC?

    People really will complain about anything. It's getting pathetic.

    Word. It's a serious "damned if you do, damned if you don't"/"can't please everyone all the time" situation for publishers.
