Batman is an insanely popular character and has made his way to pretty much every medium from TV, to film, to video and board games. One of the more interesting board game releases was Batman: Gotham City Chronicles a miniatures game where players took control of a team of heroes and a team of villains to battle it out on the streets of the titular city. The game's creators Monolith has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the second season of the game, with all new characters, missions and versus mode content.

Versus Mode

The original season 1 content for Batman: Gotham City Chronicles racked up an impressive 45 missions for the adventure mode, and season 2 is still adding another 9 missions, but the focus this time around has been on expanding the game's versus mode. The adventure mode sees one player, controlling a villain and his henchmen, fight off against a number of other players each taking control of a single hero each, but the versus mode pits players head-to-head with even teams, with a much more skirmish style to the gameplay. The new expansion seeks to add much more content to the mode since adventure mode was much more in focus on the season 1 content.

The new versus mode content and expansions include adding several new teams, such as The Suicide Squad and Batman Inc, as well as some new maps featuring classic locations from the Batman universe. You can now battle it out in the Gotham City Police Department map, and the sewers of Gotham City which come bundles with 10 new Versus missions as well. On top of that, all of the new characters can be used with the series 1 core box content, so if you love one of the new characters but prefer the maps and missions from season 1, then they're completely compatible.
