To resolve this issue, we will be performing maintenance on the game servers.

With these two bugs, players and critics had felt very lukewarm about the title. Many fans enjoyed seeing their favorite DC Comics characters interact with one another in this alternative world of the main universe but cannot get into the gameplay with some saying that they had expected more advancements in design after the previous Arkham series titles.
The game is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Windows platforms on their respective stores.
