* Jason is shown walking with his back hunched over in every scene he's in. He could be just doing this to look more threatening, but remember what he was in during the joker torture scenes: a wheelchair he was tied to with barbed wire. There's no telling how often Joker would keep him in the chair, so his hunched back might be yet another reminder of what joker put him through to go with the branding and other scars. All the king's horses and all the king's men really couldn't put Robin together again.

* Here's something disturbing to consider: as heavily mocked as he is, Riddler came the closest to killing Batman. In the final fight, his robots increasingly adapt to Batman's attacks, and would've won if Catwoman hadn't returned. Batman even admits to Riddler that he would've lost otherwise. The fact that the robots don't adapt in Catwoman's DLC means Riddler was updating the robots in the field, and hadn't uploaded his data to his main computer yet. If he wasn't so focused on making elaborate puzzles, race courses, or even personally fighting Batman to prove his superiority, Riddler would've tuned his robots until they were unstoppable.

* It's speculated that the Nightmare Batman in the GoldenEnding is really Bruce using some form of Fear Toxin to intimidate thugs after faking his death. If it's true, then Bruce, all this time, was perfectly okay with resorting to ''chemical warfare'' against street thugs but held back for the sake of his friends. Not only does this suggest that Batman is closer to the kind of insanity his enemies show than previously suggested, but what if, without friends to think about, he eventually abandons his one rule? The player can go back to Panessa studio after Barbara's rescued and tell Robin. You'd think that Batman would then release Robin so he can help out finally, but Batman doesn't, and the game plays out like it does normally. Batman ''planned'' for Scarecrow to capture Robin. Even considering the circumstances with Joker's blood, he's so determined to win that he'll ''intentionally'' use his own partners as bait is disturbing. He really is that close to breaking.

* If you let Azrael go free in his side quest, there's a chance he'll return to protect Gotham in Bruce's absence. Unless he rejoins the police, he's going to be a vigilante with an identical fighting style to Bruce's, which would put Bruce's loved ones in danger as criminals mistake Azrael for Bruce in a new costume. To make things worse, Bruce has been investing millions in Gotham, specifically to rebuild the Arkham City site. As he learns about the plight of the fire crew, the layoffs, the fires, the attack on them Firefly, he must be kicking himself, thinking that he could've prevented this if he gave the fire department money.

* In the Panessa flashback, Batman tells Gordon that the inmates are suffering from an extremely mutated form of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease after being exposed to Joker's mutated blood, with them and even Batman slowly mutating into variations of Joker. There has been pushback from people questioning this premise, as CJD normally kills within a year and can't be controlled, let alone cured like Batman eventually does. But, when you listen to the audio log under Joker's profile, Batman says that the blood ''acts'' like a prion infection, meaning they never had CJD in the first place. Batman misled Gordon, banking on Jim's lack of medical knowledge to drive him off after he hears a weird name, because while he obviously had to warn Gordon, he didn't wamt the cops getting too close for fear of their safety. The scene is foreshadowing Batman's trust issues.
