- The reparation of the relationship between Alfred and Bruce. After the former is almost killed by Bane, Bruce finally begins to realize how selfish and thoughtless his actions have been and begins to warm up to the idea of having help. Alfred also understands the importance of what Bruce does.
- Bane tells Batman that he left enough life in Alfred for some final words. And what does he say? "Don't add me to the weight you carry." In what he thought were his final moments, Alfred tells Bruce not to let the guilt consume him as it did with his parents.
- The fact that, when Alfred declares that he's never been crudely resuscitated before, the first thing Bruce does is tell him to immediately say something if he has any negative symptoms.
- On a similar note, Batman and Gordon's relationship as well. The two are never really on good terms until Firefly holds the bridge for ransom. By the end of things, both of them realize how invaluable an ally the other was during the event.
- A short but sweet one is Alfred wishing Bruce a Merry Christmas over their Comm-link as the clock strikes midnight and Bruce returning the notion. Borderline Tear Jerker because of the solemn tone of the conversation since Bruce couldn't make it home for Christmas.
- Even more heartwarming is the post-storyline when Alfred tells Bruce that he's been keeping Christmas dinner warm for him, knowing he'll be coming home right after wrapping up some loose ends.
- Additionally, when Bruce suggests that Alfred get some sleep, Alfred responds "not until you're back safe and sound", and says that they can have Christmas Dinner for Breakfast.
- Various pieces of dialogue between Alfred and Batman in the Batcave:
- Alfred feels upset that they will not be able to eat the Christmas dinner he prepared, and Batman assuredly saying that they can enjoy it the next day. Batman states that "Christmas ham on Christmas day isn't the end of the world", and Alfred jokes that it "is certainly close".
- Alfred joking that he is aiming to be placed in the "sarcastic butler hall of fame".
- Alfred informs Batman that he managed to deliver Christmas presents to an orphanage. He details how the orphanage, less concerned with the crime on the streets as much as they were the children having a good Christmas, sent a truck over to Wayne Manor and Alfred was able to get the gifts sent out. Batman is pleased by this, saying that it will "mean a lot to the children".
- When Batman suggests cancelling the New Year's Ball at Wayne Manor due to security concerns, Alfred refuses. Batman relents, surprised Alfred enjoys himself at the party, and Alfred responds that it is not for him, but that it is one of the few times he sees Bruce Wayne happy.
- Alfred mentions that the Batcave is cold in the winter. When Batman suggests adding more heaters, Alfred refuses, prioritizing keeping themselves off of the energy company's radar over his comfort.
- Helping Barbara take down Penguin's arms caches. She's ecstatic to be working with this symbol of justice she believes in so readily.
- In a twisted sort of way, Bane hoping Batman finds "peace in death that [he] did not find in life" as the former is trying to kill the latter. And he says it without an ounce of mockery.
- Joker and Harleen get a moment that is kind of sweet in a twisted way and rather ambiguous given how it's unclear whether Joker genuinely means it (both of which is as usual for them):Harleen: My name is Harleen. Harleen Quinzel.
Joker: What a pretty name. Do your friends call you "Harley"?.
Harleen: Oh, I don't have a lot of friends.
Joker: Well, Harley, you got one now. - When rounding up the escaped Blackgate convicts, one of them begs Batman not to send him back because the guards are worse than the prisoners. Batman knocks him out and sends him back anyway, but not before he assures the prisoner that things are going to change and tells Gordon to send a police officer who's trustworthy to come collect him.
- After disarming Firefly's second bomb and saving the hostages, Batman can interact with one, whom thanks him, calling him a hero and saying she prefers him over the GCPD. It's one of the few times in the game where someone treats Batman with recognition and respect for saving lives.Hostage: Screw the police. You saved us. You're a hero. (...) I meant what I said. I'll take you over a rotten cop any day of the week. (...) We won't forget what you did for us.
- In an overheard conversation, a henchman who came to town with Killer Croc defends him when another henchman calls him "half-crocodile", even referring to him as "Waylon". Apparently even a misanthrope like Croc can inspire loyalty.
- In the Initiation DLC, Kirigi is shown going from extremely brutal and racist toward the American Bruce Wayne, to grudging respect, to, upon his defeating Shiva, actually warmly welcoming him to train with him...if you get all 15 medals. After all of the work, it seems to mean a lot to Bruce, even though he says nothing.
- It's possible to talk to cops that have been rescued from random crimes, and while a lot of them seem to indicate that they're only letting you walk away because you saved them, there's a chance that the response will be an honestly grateful comment that the department is wrong about you.
- Further continued in Cold, Cold Heart where cops will be grateful to Batman for thawing them out of their frozen cocoons with the XE Suit.
- After spending the first half of the DLC thinking Mister Freeze is a cold, heartless monster, Batman ends it by rescuing both Nora and Victor and promising him that Boyle will face the law for his crimes. When he confronts Freeze just before their final bout, Batman, rather than angrily give his usual "Surrender or else!" ultimatum, sympathetically attempts to talk Victor down.Batman: I know the truth! And so will the police. Boyle will face judgment for his crimes. [...] You've endangered lives all over the city. Nora wouldn't have wanted this!
- After finally incapacitating both him and Boyle, Batman reboots Nora's cryostasis pod and reassures Victor that Boyle will face justice.
Batman: I'm sorry, Victor. I can't give you peace... But I can give you justice.- Over the credits, the news report states that not only have Boyle and the Penguin been arrested, but the corrupt mayor of Gotham, Hamilton Hill, has resigned after facing "anonymous" allegations of ties to the Maroni crime family... which means that James Gordon is now on his way to becoming Police Commissioner.
- Also, in the credits, we hear from citizens and the police who all either praise Batman or thank him for saving them. Likewise, Vicki caps off her report by thanking the Dark Knight on behalf of Gotham's citizens.
