-->'''Harley Quinn:''' Well, now you're working for Mr. J. You Chowderhead. You'll do what he says and take what he gives and hope it's not a bullet!

* GuideDangIt:
** To get into Ra's' fortress, you have to fire your grappling gun in a very specific spot.
** In order to get the best ending, you must disable a specific computer (indicated only by a flashing red light) using your Universal Tool. It's ''really'' easy to miss, and there's no real indication of ''how'' you're supposed to do it even if you find it.

Whoops, wrong game.


* FakeDifficulty: The poorly-implemented camera and control scheme make the game harder than it should be.



* MultipleEndings: There are several different endings depending on your actions throughout the game, and if you won or lost the final battle.
Is there an issue? Send a MessageReason:
None


* UnderusedGameMechanic: It is possible to sneak up on enemies and neutralize them instantly, but there are very few instances where this opportunity can arise.

Misaimed Realism is now YMMV. Moved to the YMMV page.


* MisaimedRealism: The game emphasizes that hand-cuffing enemies will permanently neutralize them, but it still doesn't make sense that they couldn't just get up anyways. This is especially egregious since Batman ''leaves'' them behind after hand-cuffing them.
