** Armored mooks's costumes come with large patches of white or red to easily differentiate them from the rest.
* [[Composite Character]]: As with ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum]]'', Batman is once again based on the comics version, has the [[Kevin Conroy|voice]] of his [[DCAU]] incarnation, and wears [[Batman Begins|body armor with a glider cape]]. Likewise, [[The Joker]] is again based on the comics version, has the [[Mark Hamill|voice]] of his [[DCAU]] counterpart, [[The Dark Knight|wears a suit in poor condition similar to Heath Ledger's]], has [[Batman (film)|a face similar to Jack Nicholson]], and mugs like [[Batman (TV series)|Cesar Romero]].
** Some of the pre-order bonuses include [https://web.archive.org/web/20130208104020/http://arkhamcity.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3955 alternate costumes] of classic 70's style blue and gray, ''[[The Dark Knight Returns]]'', ''[[Batman Beyond]]'', ''Earth-One'' and ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' (in Bruce Timm's style!). A [[Green Lantern|Sinestro Corps]] outfit could be obtained by purchasing the extended cut of the Green Lantern film on Blu-ray. All of these costumes were later made available via the Skin Pack DLC. Due to the game's success, ''[[Grant Morrisons Batman|Batman Incorporated]]'' was also made available, separately, [https://web.archive.org/web/20120107151000/http://community.batmanarkhamcity.com/news/latest/item/218-a-thank-you-from-batman-arkham-city for free].
** [http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/batmanarkhamcity_18.jpg Pictures of Two-Face] revealed that [[Batman Forever|his unscarred side looks similar to Tommy Lee Jones]] and the suit itself is based on the right half of ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' Two-Face's suit. But the entire left side owes more to [[The Dark Knight|Aaron Eckhart]] (the scarred side and the suit being a normal suit with the left half ruined), though the left hand is also scarred ala ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'', and while Richard Moll from ''Batman: The Animated Series'' isn't reprising the role, [[Troy Baker]] does seem to be emulating him. In fact, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYglhZW9LPs&feature=related if Two-Face's interview tape is anything to go by], then in this continuity, Carmine Falcone, like Rupert Thorne on ''Batman: The Animated Series'', fills Sal Maroni's role in the origin of Two-Face, despite the Maroni family being mentioned in game.
** While not deformed like his incarnation in ''[[Batman Returns]]'' (though given the art for his bio in ''[[Batman: Arkham Asylum|Arkham Asylum]]'', the idea was probably toyed with), the Penguin [http://i219.photobucket.com/albums/cc131/Jokerfan1980/Penguin.jpg does share a similar fashion sense] with the ''Batman Returns'' Penguin and, while not deformed, has a similar personality (savage and animalistic, but trying to pass off as refined) as well. He also seems to look similar to Danny DeVito, albeit more along the lines of how the actor normally looks and not the make-up he wore as Penguin. After Bruce breaks his hand, it's wrapped up and looks like his flipper in ''[[Batman Returns]]''. Finally, Penguin also complains about how the Waynes 'ruined his family', indicating they were once wealthy, ala both Returns and ''[[The Batman]]''.
** Mr. Freeze looks like his [[Batman: The Animated Series|animated series version]], but wears power armor that's more streamlined, looking vaguely similar to what he wore in ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]]''. His voice filter, once it kicks in, is also very similar to the voice filter Freeze had in ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''; a low, emotionless buzz. The game also hints that Freeze's body is [[Body Horror|gradually taking damage from his condition]], much like his ''[[The Batman]]'' counterpart and, again, his [[Batman: The Animated Series|animated series]] incarnation.
** Robin is Tim Drake and [http://www.worldsfinestonline.com/news/images/arkhamcityimage22.jpg wears a costume similar (at least design-wise) to the classic one wore by his comics counterpart, though more in-line with the body armor aesthetic that Batman sports in the game]. However, from the preview pic, he also looks to sport a hood similar to Damian Wayne's Robin and has a hairdo similar to the one sported by the version of the Dick Grayson Robin played by [[Batman Forever|Chris]] [[Batman and Robin (film)|O'Donnell]]. Like Batman, you can also get [https://web.archive.org/web/20121109133200/http://arkhamcity.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4588 alternate costumes for Robin], based on Red Robin from the comics and Dick Grayson's Robin costume from ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]''.
** Nightwing's costume is based on his classic black and blue one from the comics, but like Batman and Robin, it has the look of body armor. The alternate ''[[Batman: The Animated Series]]'' skin is also included.
** Vicki Vale is a TV reporter like in ''[[The Batman vs. Dracula]]'' and is blonde ala her appearance in ''[[Batman (film)|Batman]]''.
