Design risks

| R2 | Monetization | 0.00 | |
| R3 | Social risk | 0.00 | |
The primary risks in Batman: The Telltale Series stem from its mature content, including moderate levels of violence, language, and potentially some suggestive themes, consistent with its M-rating. However, the game presents very low risks related to compulsion-loop design, monetization pressures, or social interaction with strangers, as it lacks microtransactions, loot boxes, and competitive online features.
