* It can be surprising how initially relatively friendly Cobblepot quickly turns into a complete prick when he shows up in Wayne Enterprises. It's all a clever plan to drive Bruce angry enough to later during the conference doze him on PsychoSerum and expose as a dangerous madman.

* There's a pragmatic reason for why [[spoiler:Thomas and Martha Wayne kept Bruce in the dark about their criminal dealings beyond EvilParentsWantGoodKids: he was friends with Oswald Cobblepot. They couldn't risk FromTheMouthsOfBabes giving the Cobblepots the heads-up, let alone anyone else.]]

* Why does [[spoiler:the promotional materials for the second season show that Alfred losing his eye is the canon outcome? Well, just remember how he got it. During the fight with Lady Arkham, Bruce has two options: Take off his mask or keep it.

* In the last encounter with the Riddler, he forces you into a game where he asks you riddles, and if you get them wrong he will [[spoiler:kill one of the Agency operatives, but if you get it right, he will blast Batman with his sonic device.]] Fridge brilliance applies when you answer his last question, where he asks who the real genius of Gotham is, with either "I am" or "Not Riddler;" he still [[spoiler:blasts you]], meaning Batman's answer was right.

* In Season Two, Episode Four,[[spoiler:it's revealed that The Pact's reason for both taking Riddler's body and raiding SANCTUS is so that they can mix his blood with a super-virus to supposedly create a miracle cure-all for their respective conditions.

But in the Vigilante ending we aren't given these choices when The Joker detonates the bombs as Bruce is in a different spot when they are triggered which means all three died in the blast.

* The revelation that [[spoiler:Vicki Vale is the main antagonist offers a very serious problem in Episode 4. Since Alfred probably said, if you chose to name Montoya as the one who killed Falcone, that would result in problems with police, who is to say Vicki wont expose that once Bruce is in Arkham?]]
* When investigating the leader of the Children of Arkham [[spoiler: Vicki!]] during episode 4: [[spoiler: Bruce drops by Vicki's adoptive parent's house and finds both parents dead in a quite gruesome way, at the moment Bruce only assumes that killing the father was to take control of his transportation business and because Vicki didn't need them anymore]] but there's something else that might be worth noting:[[spoiler: Bruce refers to the death of one of the parents as "if Vicki had a vendetta against them" and she seemed to have gone out of her way to explicitly beat her own father to death with a belt. Now, when Bruce finds Vicki's adoptive brother, the child at some point asks "if he will go to punishment" for what happened and later Batman can mention to Gordon that the parents were getting a "pretty significant stipend", add that the family pictures imply the child was adopted when Vicki was an adult and not around anymore and one can get the idea that maybe the couple exploits the system by adopting children for the benefits and then abuse the child in some form.]]

** And with The Riddler, Catwoman alludes to him having changed drastically since she'd met him in Europe, so he likely wasn't as cut-throat as he recently became - she even mentions in Episode 3 that his staff had been purely for show at that point. So when he was on a crime-spree in Gotham, while he was still playing CriminalMindGames by taunting police with clues, he probably hadn't hit AbsurdlyHighStakesGame levels yet.

** To be fair besides the Riddler, all of the villains Batman faces in the Tell Tale verse only started showing up after Batman began operating in Gotham. But despite most of them having motivations outside of Batman (Catwoman only came to Gotham for a job, Lady Arkham and Penguin were on a dark path long before Batman though it's implied by their dialogue that they were inspired to act because of Batman's actions.) it's hard for people to not associate Batman with the new breed of super Criminal plaguing Gotham regardless of actual culpability. ( Joker and Two Face notwithstanding.)

* In Season Two, Episode Four, [[spoiler:it's revealed that The Pact's reason for both taking Riddler's body and raiding SANCTUS is so that they can mix his blood with a super-virus to supposedly create a miracle cure-all for their respective conditions. While most of them are stopped and remanded to Agency custody, Agent Avesta reveals that Waller ordered samples of the supposed cure saved as a way to keep the captives in-line, and under Agency control. Now [[ComicBook/SuicideSquad where]] have we heard [[Film/SuicideSquad2016 that]] idea, before?]]

* Why does [[spoiler:the promotional materials for the second season show that Alfred losing his eye is the canon outcome? Well, just remember how he got it. During the fight with Lady Arkham, Bruce has two options: Take off his mask or keep it. Taking off the mask results in Bruce getting a part of his ear blown off while keeping it results in Alfred getting his eye mutilated. In short, the canon outcome of Alfred getting his eye getting deformed shows that Bruce Wayne isn't Batman, Batman is Bruce Wayne.]]

* It's a little strange that Roland/Blockbuster wound up in Arkham, of all places. But think about it. Batman shoved what was basically a taser right into Blockbuster's mouth. Who's to say that didn't wind up giving him ''brain damage''?

* Harley's iconic nickname for John Doe ("Puddin'") actually comes with an extra layer of depth considering what a pudding actually is. A shapeless mass poured and molded into a specific form of choice. Just what she is planning to do to him under her "mentoring" into a proper "Clown Prince of Crime".
