Official Novelization

So i read the official novelization for Arkham Knight and i wish i knew if the writer even played the game or anything. It’s so inaccurate it’s completely rage inducing. Just to name a couple of big things that irk me; Hugo Strange is (somehow?) alive even though he died in Arkham City, and also Scarecrow knows Batman is infected by the Jokers blood because Joker (somehow) told him before he died so he manufactured his new fear toxin to bring out the Joker disease in Batman. What was the reasoning behind adding all these random things that make no sense? Who effing knows…
