** NightmareRetardant: [[spoiler: The fact that you have full control over Batman/Joker's arms and hands means that you can screw around and cause some serious disconnects between tone and your character's actions. Make Batman do the [[Series/{{Batman}} Adam West dance]] as you slowly realize that you're the killer!]]

The trope is not "a dig at the players", it's "an emotional gut punch to the players"


* PlayerPunch: While it is an alternate reality, the fact that [[spoiler:Batman kills Nightwing and sees Robin murdered]] is clearly meant to criticize players who dislike both of them.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: A common criticism of the game is its short length, able to be beaten in less than an hour, if one rushes through.

** The ending. [[spoiler: After wandering the halls of Arkham Asylum, you find Joker in one of the cells before he lures you into it. Then you find out that everything you've been investigating, from Nightwing's murder to Robin's disappearance, were done by '''you'''. As all of this takes form around you, your hands become bloody and the writings on the walls increase in number, and then, just to top it all off, your reflection in the mirror becomes ''the Joker'' taunting you in the most disturbing way possible, and then nothing. The game ends there.]] It would've been frightening on a TV Screen, but the fact that this is happening in ''virtual reality'' makes it downright ''terrifying''.

I know this is the YMMV page, but this doesn't count for the trope. Fridge Horror is when a seemingly inconspicuous event becomes terrifying. Simply imagining the murder from Nightwing's perspective doesn't make how it happened more horrifying. Besides, it's so broad it can be applied to every character who suffers horrible deaths, like Bruce's parents.


* FridgeHorror: Imagine Nightwing's perspective when he was killed. Here's your mentor, showing up out of nowhere like he usually does. Maybe he needs something? He's being awfully quiet. Your guard down, he promptly breaks your jaw in a single punch and takes away one of your batons. Is this a Test? It didn't feel like one. Soon, he goes too far, breaking your arm. Confused, you quickly attempt to escape via Grapple, but he breaks your grapple line, causing you to plummet onto a railing, breaking all your ribs. Now he puts you in a headlock, you feel a pressure on your neck....then Darkness.
