She has a far more likable personality. Even though her character isn't explored that much she is shown to be intrigued in mysterious personalities. She seems to see right through Bruce Wayne and his oddities right away and senses that there's something more to him. Also she still wants to pursue...
No, yeah. She's definitely not just a damsel in distress, but proactively investigates, as with her feud with Crane! Definitely a deeper character and a way more believable person for Bruce to fall for, due to their history. I even appreciate them, just as friends in that she still cares for him.
Rachel (especially K.H. Rachel) across the board! I appreciate them going back well before Batman, as she's a last tether to his former, ideal life. She never feels arbitrary, acting often as a 2nd moral compass and I always get that she's concerned for Bruce, no matter their standing. So wholesome!
I think I would get bored of the SNES. I always try to play something on the SNES, but nothing really screams “I want to play this.” I also grew up with the N64 more than the SNES.
