Was that game not "fan service"?
Wolverine is an angry brawler, who loves to fight, acts rather than thinks, and that's exactly what the game provided.

Batman is different, he's not a brawler, he's a thinker and strategist.
That's why Batman fans love the Arkham games, because they explore most of his character traits, he IS the dark knight DETECTIVE!
There have been plenty of mindless batman beat'em up games over the years like wolverine origins(which was a bit of fun for about 30 mins), but the developers decided to go a different route and explore what makes the character that is Batman, and they captured it almost perfectly.

Which begs the question, are you a fan of Batman?
Because you don't seem to really know the character if you think Arkham is boring.

I've kinda gone off topic but just had to reply to that comment.

Fan Service = Costumes, obscure characters and storylines (Pretty much Harley Quinn's entire role in the Arkham games.)

You're seriously going to tell me that following a trail of blood/pollen/foot prints is a fun and exciting thing to do in a video game? Alright then. How about playing 75% of the game in detective mode because you can barely tell the enemies from the wall? I love playing games that are just blue and orange. Then there's AC's mission list where it's all fetch quests. Get thing for bad guy, bring it back, fight bad guy, bad guy asks you to get something else, move on to next bad guy, repeat.

Don't explain Batman to me like I don't get it. I know he's a damn detective. Doesn't mean the game is awesome just because he's doing things he does in the comics.

I'll give praise to the combat in the Arkham series but the game as a whole is bogged down by lame design, variety and story. It's a competent superhero game and nothing more.
