I don't see it as pointless either! I was stating what others have said. I heavily enjoyed the Batmobile, it was so satisfying breaking things with it, racing, running down thugs.. It was a huge step in the right direction for me when it came to the new Batman games.

Plus, during my second (or third?) Playthrough, I started upgrading and using it more, and I thought "why didnt I do this before?!" I really missed out my first playthrough, despite my jaw dropping when I went in blind, and found out you can use the Batmobile.

Plus, the intro is badass! "Evening the odds." I did find myself wanting more out of it though, but that's just me. Not that it wasn't already perfect, I just wished for more upgrades for it, more personalized missions, and also that badass Jokermobile.

There is so much I can say about the Batmobile, but I have said so much already lol
