 * 100% Completion: This is the only way to get the complete Knightfall Protocol ending. That includes all Riddler trophies and side missions.
 * Back from the Dead: Ra's al Ghul is the main villain of the "Shadow War" side mission, put on life support.
 * The Bad Guy Wins:.
 * Batman Grabs a Gun: Batman is forced to deploy the Batmobile as a tank with an actual anti-tank gun because he has to fight unmanned drones with lethal weapons. He never had to go that far in the previous games.
 * Big Bad: Scarecrow is the leader between a group of antagonists seeking to kill Batman, including the titular Arkham Knight.
 * Bloodier and Gorier: Since it is the first Arkham game rated M, there has been an increase of blood.
 * Broken Bridge: While technically all of Gotham City is accessible, areas you need to access by vehicle are blocked at points in the plot until you find the way to fix (or rather lower in most cases) the bridges, as the city is divided into three islands and two are blocked off early on.
 * Canon Foreigner: Warden Ranken, the villain of "Beneath the Surface" originated from the game.
 * Circus of Fear: "The Perfect Crime" had Professor Pyg of the Circus of Strange taking people from his visits and turning them into Dollotrons.
 * Closed Circle: All of the environments of Gotham City are deliberately closed off to entry or exit, or Scarecrow threatens to Fear Gas everyone inside. This keeps people like Batman and the villains in, and any help from the outside out.
 * Darker and Edgier: Since Scarecrow is the main villain and a few frightening villains such as Pyg and Man-Bat were in the side missions, this goes to that route.
 * The Dragon: Deathstroke is the commander of the Arkham Knight's forces.
 * Dramatic Unmask:
 * Scarecrow was able to remove Batman's cowl in front of the whole world.
 * In "Friend In Need", Batman removes his cowl to Hush.
 * Driven to Suicide: Henry Adams kills himself after killing off the three other people with Joker blood.
 * Evil Sounds Deep: Scarecrow has a deep voice in this game.
 * Famous Last Words:
 * "Nature always wins." -
 * "Detective? Proud... of you." -
 * Follow the White Rabbit: The Mad Hatter says this word-for-word in the final part of "Wonderland".
 * Golden Ending: The complete Knightfall Protocol ending can be unlocked by doing all of the side missions.
 * Grand Finale: Of the Arkham series.
 * Halloween Episode: The game takes place on Halloween night.
 * Hallucinations:
 * The Joker is still dead but he appears in Batman's mind throughout the game.
 * Batman had one of Barbara Gordon killing herself.
 * Heel Face Turn:
 * Poison Ivy redeemed herself to help Batman dissipate fear toxin.
 * Hoist by His Own Petard: Scarecrow gets injected with his own fear toxin before getting sent to GCPD.
 * Jump Scare:
 * While gliding around Miagani Island, Man-Bat shows up and roars at Batman before flying away.
 * After first encountering Man-Bat, the Joker does this to Batman while gliding.
 * Man-Bat does one yet again if the player finished "Shadow of the Bat" and played this game on Halloween.
 * Multiple Endings:
 * "Shadow War" ends with either Batman resurrecting Ra's or destroying his life support.
 * "Heir to the Cowl" ends with either Azrael leaving the Clock Tower or getting sent to GCPD.
 * My God, What Have I Done?: Dr. Kirk Langstrom yells "What have I done" in his chamber knowing that his wife Francine died.
 * New Game+: Finishing the story can unlock this for a second playthrough. It will carry over Riddler trophies and upgrades.
 * Rhymes on a Dime: The Mad Hatter in "Wonderland" speaks entirely in rhyme. In an audio tape, he rhymed along with Aaron Cash and tricked Aaron into rhyming along with him.
 * The Reveal:.
 * Sidequest: The Most Wanted missions are secondary to the main story and show a wide array of villains.
 * Unreliable Narrator: Thanks to being just a figment of Bruce's mind given form by the Fear Toxin, whatever the hallucination of the Joker speaks about the real deal is pretty suspicious and product of Bruce's own paranoia and/or theories. By example, it says it would have tried harder in his crimes against Bruce if he knew the billionaire was Batman.
 * Villain Song: The Joker sings "Look Who's Laughing Now" during the Johnny Charisma level.
 * Wide Open Sandbox: All of Gotham City is up for exploration in this game.
 * Wild Card: Poison Ivy isn't interested in the Scarecrow's plan to kill Batman but isn't interested in helping humans too.
 * You're Insane!: Batman says this to Pyg.
 * You're Insane!: Batman says this to Pyg.
