Batman counters him with a massive punch to the jaw, knocking him cold, and informs the other SWAT officer to keep on the straight and narrow from now on. The guy not only agrees, but is frightened enough to ''apologize''.

Joker did that all on his own. He has basically no credibility by the time Batman gets to him, and is trying to build it back up. And failing.


* Batman survives the events of this game. So he'll fight and defeat some of the deadliest assassins on the planet, build a relationship with the police, and begins the path to dethroning Black Mask as the top mob boss of Gotham. All in ''one night''.

Furthermore, Deathstroke is an EmpoweredBadassNormal (heightened strength, speed, and reflexes) with a HealingFactor, and has been active since Vietnam. This game features a rookie Batman; one still fairly young and new at crime-fighting. Deathstroke definitely has the advantage, and whilst Batman does make a few errors during their fight, he manages to prove himself an almost equal match for Deathstroke.

** After Deadshot destroys Deathstroke's secondary sword, Deathstroke turns around and gives him a DeathGlare ''right through his sniper scope''. Given how far away from the fight Deadshot is shown to be, and that neither Batman nor Deathstroke heard the shots coming, for Deathstroke to be able to pick out his location and subtly threaten him to back off is pretty impressive.
*** Not only does he not hear the shots coming, from his perspective, his sword just sort of snaps in two. So there was next to no way for him figure out the trajectory of the shots. And yet...
* WB Games gets one for doing what Rocksteady didn't: playing as Batman but in Gotham City instead of being confined to a prison facility. As big as [[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity Arkham City]] is, it's only a part of Gotham. This game allows us to really see not only supervillain antics, but what Batman deals with on a nightly basis. And since Batman can return to the Batcave, we can also really get an idea how his operation works.
