Just finished this game last week, it doesn't hold a candle to the Arkham Trilogy, but I also don't think it was THAT bad (trust me, I've played worse games) - I'd wait for this to be in a bundle or I'd say it's worth $5, depending on your disposable income and how large your current backlog is.
One word of advice, don't waste your time playing as Robin, IMO he sucks and his character is a whiny bitch in cutscenes.

I had fun with it, playing as the guy with a red mask and guns (sorry, I don't follow any super hero stuff). It was not good enough for me to finish, uninstalled it after around 10 hours. But again, if you're into the lore of this, then you might enjoy it even more so than I did.
Fighting is basically smash numbers and mouse. My best fight was basically automatic and I just smashed the mouse button. Try and do cool stuff...you end up disengaging and hitting a lamp post.
If i had to describe it simply, it is the most average "timewaster" game of the past few years. A solid 6.5/10 that feels like what is expected from a free to play game with lots of therepeated missions, gameplay, enemies, etc. Not to mention, most of the appeal of playing comes from collecting and forging better gear with stronger stats and unique traits. You also have some character-specific level trees to get unique abilities, but they aren't as good as something like Borderlands has.
The characters are paper-thin cutouts of what their comic book counterparts are, with all the depth of a half-empty pond. Similarly, the story feels like it was written based off one general overarching idea, and everything else was thrown in to pad for length.
One good thing i will say is, if you like mindless gameplay and are a Batman-universe fan, this thing will keep you entertained for a bit. Tons of minor tasks you can quickly complete, glide around stopping crimes, finding collectables, clearing hideouts, etc. I find myself losing track of the time i've played often when i play this.
Deluxe Edition is worth it if you like the bonus costumes which all look amazing. But as has been said, yes, they did completely ruin Robin. His character is a whiny child. Nightwing is the "cool older brother" archetype for some reason. Red Hood is downgraded to being a moody edgy tough guy in a PG-rated movie kind of way. Barbara is just thinking about her dead dad constantly and not in a cool way. It's more like a "ah yes, i recall my father. he was a good man..." kind of way.

I had fun with it. It's definitely not as good as the Arkham games; but in my opinion, it's worth a playthrough.
Everything is so boring, gameplay, traversal, story.
