History Awesome / BatmanArkhamAsylum

* I think [[{{Tropers/TBNY}} for this troper]], THE awesome moment is just playing as ''Batman''. You are him, using his [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys gadgets]], wits, and interrogation scare tactics, talking with famous allies, and beating up the famous rouges gallery all the while saving people. What more could you ask for?

* Whenever a player completes all 240 of Riddler's challenges [[BlatantLies without resorting to the internet or the strategy guide, or any other kind of outside help]].

*** The third and final time will severely disappoint me if it doesn't end up as one of ''the'' greatest examples of FissionMailed ever: the console "glitches up" and "reboots" (which hit [[OmegaBlade me]] particularly hard, since I played the PC version and that used to be [[TruthInTelevision an actual problem with my computer]]), starting up the introduction sequence from the beginning of the game... except [[spoiler:[[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent you're playing as the Joker]] escorting BATMAN into Arkham Asylum.]] And then [[spoiler:your point of view switches back to Batman just as the Joker [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim takes out a gun and shoots him.]]]] You then get [[spoiler:the game over screen with the HaveANiceDeath tip telling you [[MindScrew "Use the middle stick to dodge Joker's bullet." (or on the PC, "Tilt the mouse")]] [[NotQuiteDead And then Batman rips himself out of an illusory grave.]]]] Then Scarecrow injects him with a crap-ton more toxin. Of course, the goddamn Batman isn't inconvenienced by this. He even wakes up amid the unconscious bodies of about six thugs and a Titan henchman.

** That is a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for copy protection EVERYWHERE. [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Fuck crippleware, fuck securom, fuck starforce, fuck Sony rootkits]], THIS IS HOW ITS DONE! To this date, this troper has only seen this implemented once before. In the GBA Samurai Deeper Kyo game, if you've dumped it or are playing the ROM or are playing a copied cart on the DS, the second boss will regenerate health faster than you can deal damage. [[DidNotDoTheResearch LEARN YOUR CRAFT YOU RETARDS]], and then you won't have piracy problems ever again.

--->'''Scarecrow''': How are you doing this? You've ingested enough fear toxin to drive ten men insane! WHAT ARE YOU? [runs off like a pansy*

*** Called "party crasher" naturally. and I counted, it's a 25 on one fight.

** Heck, the WHOLE GAME counts as a crowning moment of awesome for Batman, liscensed games, and the DC universe in general.

* Any time you clear out a room full of mooks armed to the teeth with just your fists, feet, wits, and gadgets - and three of them you don't even need. Particularly when you do so without them ever once noticing where you are AND the Joker repeatedly has to point out that there are fewer men on the job than punched in on the time sheet.
* Scarecrow's fifth and final interview tape; It starts with Scarecrow bragging about his ultimate fear gas, and you hear some of the victims, but then Batman bursts in, Scarecrow asks how Batman is affected by the gas however replies by saying he is affected but it ain't stopping him and that he and another doctor already made an antidote to the fear gas, then Batman delivers this awesome line.

--->'''Batman''': How that does make you feel? Threatened, humiliated? Scared?

*** The first time, he tricks Batman into thinking Commissioner Gordon is dead, and when Batman radios in to Oracle to tell her the bad news, she gives a canned "your call could not be completed as dialed!" message, cluing Batman - and you - in to the fact that something's up. Then [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel the doors in the morgue start flying open and Batman finds his parents' corpses]]. Meep.

*** Again a Moment for the developers is in the third scene with Scarecrow. It's completley debatable exactly why [[DemonicDummy Warden Scarface]] was added, but I'm quite sure any reactions ranged from 'oh, well that's interesting' to 'oh hell yes'.

* There is a fully equiped second batcave on arkham island. When asked how he managed to hide it, he says, "It's me, remember?"

*** The third and final time will severely disappoint me if it doesn't end up as one of ''the'' greatest examples of FissionMailed ever: the console "glitches up" and "reboots" (which hit [[OmegaBlade me]] particularly hard, since I played the PC version and that used to be [[TruthInTelevision an actual problem with my computer]]), starting up the introduction sequence from the beginning of the game...except [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent you're playing as the Joker]] escorting ''Batman'' into Arkham Asylum.]] And then [[spoiler:your point of view switches back to Batman just as the Joker [[WhyDontYaJustShootHim takes out a gun and shoots him.]]]] You then get [[spoiler:the game over screen with the HaveANiceDeath tip telling you [[MindScrew "Use the middle stick to dodge Joker's bullet."

** That inspired this troper to loudly state, to the screen, "I'm Batman."\\

--->'''Batman''': No Bane! This time I BREAK YOU!

** That said, the game has several [=CMOAs=] all its own. This troper's personal favorite is in the final boss fight [[spoiler: where Batman ''smears explosive gel across his knuckles'' to give his final punch a little extra kick. Hard. Core.]]

--->[[spoiler:'''Joker''': I can take it! I can take anything you can dish out, Bats! Hee hee hee, I'm actually going to win! Ready for the next round?\\

'''Batman''': I'll never let you win. ''Never'']].
** Scarecrow has a few [=CMOAs=] at various points throughout the game for [[spoiler:how ''completely and utterly'' he'll mess with not only Batman's, but ''your'' mind in some seriously epic {{Mind Screw}}s.]] Let's tally them up (but seriously, do ''not'' open these spoilers if you haven't beaten the game!):

*** The second time, [[spoiler:he forces Batman to walk through a dark alleyway and relive [[DeathByOriginStory his parents' death]]. Halfway through the sequence, [[AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent Batman de-ages into a young Bruce]]!]]

** Another moment that shines comes at [[spoiler: the very end. Batman and the authorities have subdued all of Arkham's inmates and thus the nightmare comes to a close. Gordon tells a bloodied, surely sore Batman to go home and take a deserved rest when, moments later, a nearby radio police unit says that Two-Face has just robbed a bank. The Batwing then swoops mightily and Batman rides on, heading for what is definitely NOT Wayne Manor to take a nap. [[TheDarkKnightSaga As Bruce Wayne put it so wisely, "Batman has no limits."]] ''Indeed'']]
** The CarFu on [[spoiler:Bane.]]
--->[[spoiler: '''Bane''': I WILL BREAK YOU BATMAN! AND THEN THE "BRUJA"!]]\\
[[spoiler: '''Batman''': No Bane! This time I BREAK YOU!]]

** The entire goddamn game for Batman. Beating the crap out of countless thugs, Bane, Harley, [[spoiler: Poison Ivy, blowing Killer Croc up and actually resisting being transformed by Titan.]] Plus he can [[spoiler:uncover Arkham's darkest secret]] and solve all of the Riddler's challenges to [[spoiler:send him into a rage which allows him to send the police his location.]] All in a single night. How? Because ''[[ThisIsSparta HE IS THE]] [[MemeticMutation goddamn BATMAN!]]''

** Though certainly not a scripted event, ThisTroper once popped up behind three unsuspecting inmates. After triple bataranging all three to the ground, Batman pounces on one guy and knocks him out and proceeds to pounce the next guy to knock him out too. By this point, the third had gotten to his feet and had his bat raised over his head ready to smack Batman in the back of the head... when the counter signal appeared and Batman proceed to give the guy a [[OffhandBackhand Backhand]] to knock ''him'' out too in mid-swing.

*** What, are you dense? Are you retarded or something? What the hell doyou rhink you should tell him? "I'm the goddamn Batman."
