History Awesome / BatmanArkhamAsylum

----> '''Joker''': You'll never stop me, Cash!

*** Also, when playing as the Joker presumably 'escaping' from Arkham, the only person he threatens and views as the only real threat to his fun? Not Sharpe, but Cash.

*** Further evidence of Cash's sheer awesomeness: What does he do when tied to a chair, six armed guys around him and Batman shows up to rescue him? He calmly tells Batman how many guys there were in the room and how much fire power they were packing. His reaction to being stuck in a room full of poison gas? "I can do this all night, but the doc over here looks like he's not gonna last much longer."

:::The Scarecrow's sections of the game are like playing the most memorable parts of ''VideoGame/EternalDarkness'' as Batman. And it's ''awesome.''

** You can get an achievement for ''beating them up'', called "Party Pooper" naturally. It's a 25 on one fight.

* There is a fully equipped second Batcave on Arkham island, which Batman had built years ago for situations like this. When asked by Oracle how he managed to hide it, he says, "[[CrazyPrepared It's me, remember?]]" You can almost ''hear'' the grin on his face with that line.

* Creator/KevinConroy and Creator/MarkHamill reprise their roles for this game, which is awesome in itself seeing as both of them are considered [[CantUnhearIt the definitive voices]] for these characters. But what really makes this even more awesome is how they really get to show their acting talents for these characters. Kevin is able to once again convey Batman's grimness with that same sense of determination, while also reminding everyone just how terrifying the Dark Knight really is. Mark, meanwhile, lets loose and shows all of Arkham just why the Clown Prince of Crime isn't just Batman's greatest enemy, but he's perhaps the ultimate threat to Gotham. It just goes to show why we love hearing Kevin and Mark's voices.

* The takedown moves, especially at the end of a match. Watching Batman RKO a KnifeNut inmate in slow-motion, to the sound of fracturing bones? Yes please.

** Aaron Cash just in general. Guy survives the night, and manages to keep the people who stay around him alive as well. Plus, Batman may catch 'em, but he's the guy who has to live with 'em. He got his hand bitten off by Croc and didn't quit.

--->'''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]

** The third and final time becomes a FissionMailed: the console "glitches up" and "reboots", 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 [[CombatPragmatist 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. Batman isn't inconvenienced by this. He even wakes up amid the unconscious bodies of about six thugs and a Titan henchman... which, coincidentally, you had just beaten up in skeleton form in the Scarecrow nightmare.

** Even more awesome when one considers that this was only Rocksteady Studios' ''SECOND GAME.''[[note]]The first one was a quickly-forgotten shooter called ''Urban Chaos'' for the [=PS2=] and XBOX[[/note]] SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, indeed.

-->'''Joker:''' I can take it! I can take anything you throw at me, Bats! Hee hee hee! I'm actually going to win! Ready for the next round?!
-->'''Batman:''' ''Always.''
-->'''Joker:''' ''What?!''
-->'''Batman:''' I'll never let you win. ''Never.''

--->'''Bane''': I WILL BREAK YOU, BATMAN! THEN THE ''[[GratuitousSpanish BRUJA]]''!\\

** The real Crowner is walking into it for the first time, Batman saying "On," the cave powering up, and then gliding down as the music swells slightly in the background. Gave me goosebumps.

--->'''Batman''': He ''fooled you'', Crane. [[IronicEcho How that does make you feel? Threatened? Humiliated?]] '''''[[IronicEcho Scared?]]'''''

** Even better if you didn't use detective vision, instead of knowing it's a trap by seeing it, he just, knows.

* The moment you realize that you are 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 rogues gallery all the while saving people. What more could you ask for?

* Freakshow Rodeo. That is all.

* Another moment that shines comes at 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. [[Film/TheDarkKnight As Bruce Wayne put it so wisely, "Batman has no limits."]] ''Indeed''
