These things about Batman: Arkham Knight are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

  • Anticlimax Boss: Hush's side mission was underwhelming simply because it was just a cutscene with a button prompt.
  • Author's Saving Throw: Rocksteady listened to fans' complaints about the game including the PC version and made some improvements.
    • Rocksteady made a series of patches to have all eight playable characters on the combat and predator maps, including Harley Quinn, Batgirl and Red Hood.
    • Rocksteady was aware of the lack of challenge maps and brought in multiple DLC packs with the traditional round systems like in the previous games.
    • For the "In From the Cold" side mission from The Season of Infamy DLC, there is only one Batmobile shooting level, much to fans' joy.
    • After fans complained about Nolan North voicing a Fake Brit Penguin in Arkham City, it was revealed in this game that Penguin got the accent at school.
  • It's Short, So It Sucks: Many thought that the Arkham episodes were too short for an Arkham game.
  • Obvious Judas: It's unfortunately obvious that the Arkham Knight is Jason Todd. For example, there are a good number of flashbacks with Jason Todd and Red Hood himself is a playable character for a pre-order bonus.
  • Porting Disaster: The PC port is terribly glitchy and as a result had worse reviews than the other versions.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: A good number of players disliked the Batmobile taking the spotlight from the gliding parts of the game.
  • Surprisingly Improved Sequel: The game got better reviews than Arkham Origins for having Rocksteady involved and a more original map, as well as Conroy and Hamill returning.
  • That One Sidequest: The Riddler side mission can be a pain, not to mention solving all 243 riddles is the only way to defeat the Riddler.
  • The Unexpected: Nobody expected Deacon Blackfire, a lesser known Batman villain, to appear in one of the side missions.
