Line 29:
** Though it helps that it's a very old building and their ventilation systems tend to be unnecessarily large by modern standards, sometimes even big enough to actually allow people to crawl through.
* The Joker in this game combines features from every previous version of the character -- which is hilariously appropriate for Joker, who is not a man with a past but more a force of nature with a mercurial past and many names, none of which are truly his.
** A fun fridge horror game to play. Go attack some goons with Suicide Collars on, taking careful note of the mechanical laughing noise the collar alarms make. Now go watch the [[
* The combat system is set up in such a way that the fights actually get ''easier'' when he is up against massive odds, as opposed to a small pack. Which is [[Fridge Brilliance]] since this is how things are in most incarnations of Batman. He'll spend just as much time with a horde of mooks as with one or two mooks (a few panels, a few scenes, whatever).
* If Riddler can hack into Batman's communications system, why hasn't he done this before and figured out where/who Batman is, etc? Simply, Batman and Oracle ''allowed'' Riddler to hack in so they could find him after stalling him by finding his trophies and such.
Line 48:
* A somewhat meta example. On this game's Headscratchers page, people wonder about Joker's 'marzipan and kitten' bombs, and others mention that it would be in-character of Joker to have 99 kitten bombs and one real one. And I realized something PROVES that, perhaps deliberately; think of the 'presents' Joker leaves at certain parts. Most of the time, they've got harmless (if annoying) chattering teeth...but some have a knife-wielding psycho.
* If you think about it, [[The Joker]] is right: Batman IS as crazy as the inmates incarcerated in Arkham Asylum. How else could he[[Crazy Prepared|be so well-prepared]] to battle the super-criminals of Gotham if he weren't just as crazy as them? And, on a certain level, Batman realizes this. His personal No Kill policy is so strict because he knows he's teetering on the edge. He also fights crime as hard as he does because he doesn't want anyone else to end up on that edge alongside him.
* At the end of the Scarecrow hallucination where Batman gets locked up by Joker, the game gives you a fake [[Nonstandard Game Over]] where you're told to "Use the middle stick to dodge the Joker's gunshot." There is no middle stick on either Xbox360 or [[
** This wouldn't work for the PC version, in which the player receives the instruction to "tilt the mouse" instead. Although that does sound strangely in-character for the Joker.
* [[The Stinger]] at the end of the game shows one of Batman's Rogues Gallery grabbing a crate of Titan. Bane on Titan? Meh. More of the same. But imagine what might happen if Croc gets the drug. [[Fridge Horror|Or Scarecrow]]. ~ Surgoshan
