5	''Batman: Arkham Underworld'' was a ''VideoGame/ClashOfClans'' clone for UsefulNotes/{{iOS\|Games}} and UsefulNotes/{{Android\|Games}} set in the universe of the ''Franchise/BatmanArkhamSeries''. [[DefunctOnlineVideoGames It ran for only one year]] from 2016 to 2017.

7	Initially taking place after the events of ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'', unlike the other ''Arkham'' games, which have the player play as Batman, it had the player control the various super villains in Gotham City like the Riddler, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Bane as they take over the Gotham underworld from TheMafia. Later DLC took place after ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham'' and featured Amanda Waller tasking Deadshot (who was stopped from killing Waller by Batman) and Harley with a mission.

10	!!This game contained examples of:
11	* AllegedlyFreeGame: Diamonds are often used to speed up build times, and free players are stuck with one carpenter to build or upgrade items with (unless a second is purchased with real money).
12	* ContinuitySnarl: The game model for Harley is based on her ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' design--despite Harley herself stating in that game that it's a new outfit. Given the "9 years ago" tag at the start of this game, the main plot of this game (or part of it, anyway) takes place not long after ''Origins''[[note]]As ''Knight'' established that the events of ''Origins'' takes place ten years before that game[[/note]].
13	* TheDon: The game features the first actual appearance of Carmine Falcone after he spent most of the series as TheGhost.
14	* EvilVersusEvil: Taking cues from ''ComicBook/TheLongHalloween'' and ''ComicBook/DarkVictory'', this features Batman's RoguesGallery vs TheMafia.
15	* FaceHeelTurn: Part of the plot involves the downfall of Harvey Dent.
16	* HeroAntagonist: Batman here is amongst the enemies the player must fight.
17	* {{Interquel}}: The main plot of game takes place between ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOriginsBlackgate'' and ''WesternAnimation/BatmanAssaultOnArkham''. DLC, however, takes place after the latter, as it features Amanda Waller and Deadshot and includes references to the ending, where Deadshot tried to take a shot at Waller, with the game revealing that Batman stopped Lawton before he could fire.
18	* VillainProtagonist: Unlike the other games, this focuses on the actions of the RoguesGallery.
