* [[Actor Allusion]]: A subtle one: [[The Joker]] attempts to force Mr. Freeze to develop a cure for him by holding his wife hostage. [[The Joker]] is voiced by [[Mark Hamill]], whose first voice in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' was Ferris Boyle, the guy responsible for Mr. Freeze, and Hamill's performance as him also landed him with his voicing [[The Joker]] in that series.
* [[Beam Me Up, Scotty]]: Many have misquoted or misinterpreted Mark Hamill as saying this game will be the last time he plays The Joker. He clarified that what he meant was he wouldn't continue playing The Joker if he felt that he couldn't top his performance, he wanted to leave on a high note. He has since played the Joker again on multiple occasions.
* [[Development Gag]]: At one point, Batman overhears thugs talking about the rumor that Harley Quinn used to be a man. Harley Quinn was actually motion-captured by a man, and they even released a [http://www.geekologie.com/2011/09/oh-shishi-its-sexy-time-harley-quinns-mo.php fake reveal trailer] to tease fans about it.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: [[Kevin Conroy]] and [[Mark Hamill]] are again reprising the roles of [[Batman: The Animated Series|Batman and the Joker]]. Likewise, [[Tom Kane]], Kimberly Brooks, Wally Wingert, Tasia Valenza, [[Fred Tatasciore]], Danny Jacobs, and James Horan reprise their respective roles from [[Batman: Arkham Asylum|the first game]] as Quincy Sharp, Oracle, the Riddler, Poison Ivy, Bane, Zsasz, and [[The Creeper|Jack Ryder]]. Though Tom doesn't reprise the role of Commissioner Gordon and Fred gets double duty as the voice of Solomon Grundy.
** [[Kevin Conroy]] also plays {{spoiler|Thomas Elliot}}.
Line 22 ⟶ 20:
** Chris Cox ([[Justice League Unlimited|Captain Atom]], [[The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes|Hawkeye]]) is Deadshot.
** Killer Croc is [[The Other Darrin|now voiced by]] [[Dee Bradley Baker]], [[Spider-Man (2000 video game)|who is]] [[Spider Man 2 Enter Electro|certainly]] [[The Spectacular Spider-Man|no stranger]] [[Star Wars: The Clone Wars|to voicing]] [[Thundercats 2011|reptiles]].
 
* [[The Other Darrin]]: [[Tara Strong]] replaces Arleen Sorkin as Harley Quinn. Despite [[Tom Kane]] returning, [[David Kaye]] replaced him as Commissioner Gordon.
 
* [[Playing Against Type]]:
** [[Nolan North]] as the Penguin.
** [[Dee Bradley Baker]] as Ra's al Ghul.
** [[Maurice LaMarche]] as Mr. Freeze and Calendar Man.
** [[Tara Strong]] as Harley Quinn.
* [[Talking to Himself]]:
** [[Nolan North]] voices both [[London Gangster|The Penguin]] and provides the voices of several randomized inmates. It's not unheard of to hear [[Nolan North]] [[Bad Boss|berating]] his [[Mook|Mooks]] about how much they suck, only to hear [[Nolan North]] reply "You heard Penguin! Let's move!".
** {{spoiler|Hush, who has being-Bruce-Wayne's-evil-double as part of his gimmick}}, is also voiced by Kevin Conroy for obvious reasons.
* [[Viral Marketing]]: Starting in early October 2011, major [[YouTube]] [[The Game Station]] affiliates [[Husky Starcraft]], [[Jesse Cox]], [[Total Halibut]] and the [[Yogscast]] left mysterious Riddler question marks in their daily videos: each one linked to an unlisted [[YouTube]] video part of a four-part audio involving Professor Strange and Two-Face that promoted the game and its [[Facebook]] page.
* The plot itself borrows ideas from ''[[Knightfall]]'' and ''[[Batman: No Man's Land]]'', among other famous Batman stories. A lot of the Joker/Batman dynamic is reminiscent of ''[[The Killing Joke]]''.
