We thought it was a Batman video game. A sequel to Arkham City. A board game is incredibly underwhelming. Which would you rather play? Video game or board game?

Do you feel sly for pulling one over our eyes? That's just wrong and a huge let down.

@LEVI well played buddy. I kinda guessed it'd be an April Fool's joke, but didn't expect the board game stuff. This may be the best prank on the site today. Nice one.

Better watch it or else I'm going back to Screenrant or one of the dozens of other sites that aren't fascist [fricks]...
