Yes, this pre-installed v1.1 GOTY build is offered as a free download at 8 GB. The original game is a paid retail title, so if you want to support Rocksteady and WB Games, buying it on Steam is the recommended route.
Extract the 8 GB archive into a folder you've excluded from your antivirus, install everything inside the Redist or _CommonRedist folder, then run BmLauncher.exe as administrator from the Binaries folder. A full Installation Guide.txt is included in the game files.
Those errors mean the legacy redistributables weren't installed. Run the DirectX June 2010 and .NET Framework installers found in the Redist folder, then relaunch BmLauncher.exe as administrator.
It does, but the controls are mapped awkwardly and the game clearly expects an Xbox-style controller. Many players report the game prompting for a controller on first launch — plugging one in resolves most input complaints.
The GOTY Edition adds four Challenge Maps on top of the base campaign: Crime Alley, Scarecrow Nightmare, Totally Insane, and Nocturnal Hunter (the last two from the Insane Night Map Pack).
