Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $10.00 - $20.00
  - Reasoning: The reviews consistently indicate the game is overpriced at its current price, with users advising purchase only during sales. The content is considered insufficient for the full price, suggesting the fair base price is substantially lower. However, one reviewer finds value specifically for fighting Joker, implying a floor. Considering typical sale discounts (50-75%), a fair estimated range is $10-$20, where the lower end reflects the minimal content justification and the upper end aligns with what players might accept on a moderate sale.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: N/A
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: N/A
  - Endgame: N/A
  - Reasoning: Multiple reviews agree the DLC level is short, with two explicit estimates: 5 minutes (from a direct English statement) and ~30 minutes (from a French review). The 5-minute figure is more precise and comes from a speed-oriented negative review, while the 30-minute figure may reflect a leisurely playthrough. Given the absence of other time references and the consistent description as 'very short', the typical completion time for the single-story level is taken as 0.083 hours (5 minutes). This value applies to game completion (completing the DLC content), story/campaign completion (the level is the whole story), and session length (a single sitting). No evidence exists for endgame or post-story hours, so that field is null.
