Likeable arcade racer Hot Wheels Unleashed is adding some big DC Comics-themed content as we edge closer towards Christmas, with the DC Super-Villains Racing Season getting underway from 11th November through 18th January. Available to every player, the Battle Pass-style update will deliver “a large number of free and premium content than can be unlocked by completing new challenges”.
This will include six vehicles: Bane, The Cheetah, Poison Ivy, Black Manta, Deathstroke, and Harley Quinn. There’ll also be a ton of customisation options for your Basement and Player Profile to unlock. It’ll be followed on 2nd December by the release’s first major DLC update: the Batman Expansion. This will feature an entirely new Career Map inspired by Gotham, and a new environment: the Batcave.
“The Batman Expansion also includes five themed vehicles spanning The Penguin, Robin 2.0T, Armored Batman, Batman Rebirth, and The Joker GT, plus a new Track Builder Module – the Joker Funhouse Split – and tons of themed customisation items,” the press release reads. If you already own the Hot Wheels Pass Volume 1 then you’ll get this add-on as part of that, but it can be purchased separately.
There are a couple of trailers embedded in this article which show the new content off. Are you feeling the lure of the Batman signal at all? Gargle with gravel like the Caped Crusader in the comments section below.

I’ll be patiently waiting for the ‘66 Batman Batmobile to come out..
I really enjoyed this game right up until I finished all the single player content. I was going to attempt to platinum it, but those coin and gear trophies would require an absolutely ridiculous amount of time in multiplayer to obtain, so I dropped off.
I bought the Challenge Accepted Edition, so hopefully this content will bring me back. Looks really fun from what they’ve shown.
@SoulChimera damn, that sucks to hear about the post game grind. Any sneaky ways to boost that currency?
@Jeevz I read a few posts in forums about building a track that takes 2 seconds to win, but for that, you would still need hours upon hours and also someone else to sit there and do it with you online.
I’m sure it’s much faster, but it would still take a long time. Much longer than most people would be willing to sit through.
@SoulChimera yeah been there, done that. I'm not a big fan of boosting anymore myself. Sounds similar to THPS 1+2. In my heyday I would have grinded out that last trophy but not so much today.
This game does look cool though. I kind of want to play it.
Why do they put batte passes in everything now 🙈
@Would_you_kindly they don't....
@Jeevz Yeah, it’s great fun. If you like arcade racers, you’ll really enjoy this.
To be fair, I’m not an online multiplayer person, if I was, I’d probably just play it every now and again and naturally obtain the platinum.
Maybe the new content they have planned will be enough to entice me to play online.
@SoulChimera I love arcade racing games. Maybe I'll see ya on the track in the Bane mobile.
Thats fast how long is the game out already?
If they keep this kind of cool content I will probably buy the pass! The game is great and hopefuly they will fix the coins soon!
They cost too much, I am happy with the free blind boxes I get!
@SoulChimera I got the game at a pretty good price on Amazon. Wanna boost the coins and gears sometime? Maybe they'll be more available in the battle pass?
@Jeevz Could do, although we will need to find 40 hours worth of podcasts to listen to while we press accelerate for 2 seconds, then wait 30 seconds to select the track again and then another 30 seconds to start a new race. Hahaha.
I’m hoping they either alter the amount you win per race (At the moment I think it’s 70 and one of the trophies is for 100,000) or, someone finds a quicker way to scan the system.
Or yes, they add some more ways to win with all this DLC.
@SoulChimera The boost method I saw had 2 players earning 5000-6000 coins an hour. I know that's probably best case scenario but what about all the coins you earn in Single Player? They have to add coins and gears to the battle pass.
@Jeevz According to my PS5, I’ve played for 19 hours so far (although a few of those would be messing around in livery and track editors) and I’m yet to achieve the 10,000 coin trophy. Haha.
The other two coin trophies are for 50,000 and 100,000.
Unless they change the amount you win per race, I think this is a platinum I might just forget about. Haha.
@SoulChimera okay man, lemme know if you change your mind. My PSN ID is Hundredhandslap
@SoulChimera Hey man, the DC Super Villains Racing Season has begun for Hot Wheels Unleashed and there's A LOT of coins and gears to be had in the battle pass. I don't think you have to buy anything to get the coins and gears but all the premium DC content can only be gotten if you buy the racing season DLC for $7.99
@Jeevz I actually bought the challenge accepted edition, I think that should include this DLC. I’ll have to check it out. Thanks!
@SoulChimera I believe the racing pass DLC is independent of all the other DLC for the game. Go figure
@Jeevz Haha. That sounds about right.
