Can you actually get it from the East Regal Hotel solo? You don't actually defeat Joker and you get the rewards from Gordon.
Right, but I asked because you're not actually defeating Joker. He gets away and Batman leaves to chase him.
It's like that Titan Training duo where you fight Robin Damian Wayne briefly. You fight him, but don't completely beat him. But you beat him in battle to continue the mission it drops Damian Waynes Katana. You just have to fight and defeat the character regardless if it's mission progression or end of mission. So once you defeat Joker there's a chance at a drop. It's not an end game reward. It's a drop as soon as the character is defeated.
So as soon as Joker bails it will pop up if I'm lucky enough to get it? Nothing to do with Commissioner Gordon, who I have to circle to get rewards?
I’ve been wondering this too. I’ve pulled Batman’s from Robot Batman in Star Labs Satellite, however beating Joker in Regal Hotel or T.O. Morrow’s Hideout has never dropped it off Joker. No luck so far against Robot Joker in Star Labs Satellite on Villain side so far either.
The hotfix for tomorrow will make it available from the East End Regal Hotel. It seems it was not available previously, and it will be awarded as part of Gordon's loot.
I have run this mission ALOT from both hero and villain perspective and have only gotten Batman's to drop once and never Joker's. Yet...
