I thought Initiation was basically just challenge maps with a new setting, but I could be wrong.
Anyway, I'm the opposite. Given how unsatisfying the Harley Quinn DLC was and how fun the challenge maps were, I'm more wait and see on the plot-oriented stuff. The costumes I couldn't care much about though, and the multiplayer sounds like garbage.

Nope, it's a story based campaign prequel to the game:
That said I expect it will be largely influenced by the Challenge Map approach given it covers Bruce's training as a ninja, but it'll feature new story/plot.
I can understand that. While the storyline of HQR was a let down, I did enjoy being able to play as Robin, just as I enjoyed playing as Catwoman in the Catwoman DLC episodes for AC.
I just enjoy anything which expands the story, due to my completist nature.

Deathstroke plays a lot like a mix between Nightwing/Robin from AC.
I've beaten the main story and all the side missions except Enigma's data packs all over (about 80% done). But I kinda wanna stop. Mostly cuz the alternate costumes just don't interest me. I mean the Gotham By Gaslight NF Red Son are cool...but I can't see me actually playing in them. I was shooting for The Dark Knight costume (from Nolan's films) but then I discovered that costume is just the game's default costume painted all black. So pass.

I like the character design a lot more than the steroid-heavy bull**** of the older games.

I agree for the most part, but I don't like Killer Croc's look in Origins as compared to Asylum or City. It's more realistic, I suppose, but it just seems...off.

I haven't seen the new old Croc. I'm trying to go in as blind as possible.
But while Amazon shopping for Christmas presents I found a seller's copy of Origins for 40 bucks, with Deathstroke maps and pre-order skins. I caved and ordered it.

Lol, hopefully I can find a similarly good deal. Looks like I'm off to Amazon.

Arkham Origins was just a really long DLC. Disappointing. I did enjoy the Firefly fight.

So, the Initiation DLC hit a few days ago. I haven't played it, but according to people who have, it's about on the scale of the Robin content from AC. It's a five map challenge campaign with the last being a boss fight with Shiva, with your mentor saying a few Mr. Miyagi words at the beginning of each map (and Bruce doesn't talk). Sorry DiB. I think an actual narrative campaign set in, say, Nanda Parbat could have been fun. The interesting bit is Bruce is treated as a new character, playable on all the maps with his own move set, gadgets, and predator map objectives.
I wouldn't go that far. It's more of the same, but I figured that was expected. I'll wait to post my full opinion until I'm done, but I'm mostly enjoying it.

There is this game for iOS called Tiny Death Star that I can't stop playing.
I downloaded it and played a little so I could help my daughter with it and suddenly I found myself caring about it.
It's based off another game called Tiny Tower. You have to manage the Death Star by building different floors or levels, residential, retail, services, food, etc. People move in to the residential and you give them jobs in the other levels based on their ability. They sell items and you get credits for it to build more levels.
Can't. Stop. Playing.

They couldn't figure out how to get the superspeed mechanics to work in a game, so they settled on a game where you use stock Flash pictures to build your own motion comic!

Get me a Wii-U and the game and I will play. 
I plan on getting the game once I do actually get a Wii-U. The new additions they've added on look amazing. I just wish they would also bring back the double-kart feature and "super-powers" for each character back.
