All I know about this game is that it made some chuds very mad because of "woke". Which makes the game already worth playing in my book. Is it any good beyond that and why exactly are chuds crying woke about the game?

It's a live-service looter shooter using the IP. According to most review outlets it has about 10h of content, a questionable story and pretty much nothing special about it. The "wokeness" of it is basically due to Harley Quinn being less sexualised and something to do with how batman is portrayed in the game.

Also they gave Captain Boomerang a gun, so yeah.

Does his gun shoot boomerangs? I'll settle for boomerang shaped bullets if it does that.

No. Same guns that Kingshark and the Sniper guy use as well.

People are having trouble figuring out differences between characters aside from movement.

Ugh and here I was getting excited about it.

I had a bad feeling about it when it kept getting delayed, then the rest of my hope was down the drain after I heard it was another goddamn looter shooter and a "live service" too.

Best case scenario is it can be had for dirt cheap in a Humble Bundle like Gotham Knights. Worst case and probably most likely scenario is they pull the plug on it pretty quickly, like other failed live services (Babylon's Fall comes to mind).
