^^ I agree with you Re: Upgrades. Like the freeze grenades... i could really give two shits about freeze grenades, the sonic batarang, the grapple boost (really, what does that even do?), and the electro gun. Also, batman should be able to swim.... seriously.

Spoiler: There was a point in the game where batman is at risk by a shark, and I thought it would be a perfect moment to bust out the shark reppelent spray... sadly, this did not happer

I don't think either stories were spectacular, between this and the last one. The first game had a brilliant set-up, but the ending and the boss fights were lousy. Genetically altered soldiers? give me a break...

In this game, the set up is awful, and absolutely unconvincing. The villains, indeed are diluted, I think the game would have benefitted from a slightly more episodic approach. It seems logical.

Still, it was fun, and I'm catching up on those riddler trophies now...
