About the game
If you thought you had the Joker or Riddler all figured out, think again! The Villain Upgrade Pack is here to take the customization of Batman: The Animated Series Adventures to a professional level of villainy. The star of the show is undoubtedly the new 'Rogues Gallery' class dice. Tired of your character having a fixed playstyle? Not anymore! You can now swap out your villain's custom dice to completely redefine how they behave on the board. Want the Joker to be a unpredictable trickster or a deadly brawler? The choice is yours—just swap the dice! Beyond this flexibility, this pack is a massive loot drop: it includes 12 new dice, 10 iconic hero sheets (featuring heavy hitters like Poison Ivy and Killer Croc), and a huge stash of skill and initiative cards. The real game-changer, however, is the new 'Almost Got 'Im' mission book. Step away from the standard cooperative mode and dive into a skirmish campaign, where players can take control of both villains and heroes in a direct, high-stakes showdown. If you prefer the classic cooperative experience, the A.I. mode is still fully supported. This is the ultimate expansion for anyone looking to add more layers of strategy and chaos to their Gotham adventures.
