Lack of demand for extra content means that the story ends here for Wii U owners.

The Wii U version of last year's action-adventure title Batman Arkham Origins will not receive the previously announced downloadable content.
Users who purchased the game's Season Pass, which had been sold for $19.99 in North America and £15.99 in the UK, will receive a full refund to their Wii U eShop account.
According to separate statements released by both Nintendo and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, the five pieces of DLC, which include two short add-on campaigns, were cancelled on Wii U due to a lack of demand for additional content on the system.
Well, at least the season pass folks got their money back, which was "the right thing" to do and more than I would have expected either Nintendo or WB to do. *shrugs* Still, this is kind of what you get for buying what was already a known gimped version of the game right at the outset just because it was $10 less and on a platform with no 3rd party support.

"What you get?" Pretty harsh words.
Wouldn't call it a sale... it's got no end date so it may be a permanent price drop.

Dude, I'm sorry but WB showed with Injustice that they would pull DLC from the Wii U version of their games if they felt the demand wasn't high enough. They cut the tacked-on multiplayer mode from the Wii U version of Arkham Origins explicitly because the Wii U's userbase is so small. The warning signs were all there.
I kind of feel with that information if you bought the Wii U version of Arkham Origins and then paid WB $20 for the promise of future DLC support someday, you kind of deserved to get fleeced. Luckily for you, they refunded your money and you merely paid $50 for a mediocre Arkham game, but it's always been "Buyer Beware" on Season Passes (even on the other consoles) and Wii U devs have shown a reluctance to bring DLC to Wii U versions of their games. At some point here, the buyer takes on some responsibility for using their money wisely.

I think you deserve to hit get by a truck, isn't that the same fucking thing?
Did you seriously bleep yourself? This isn't your parents house, it's okay to swear.
