*** Given what we know of the Joker, he ''could'' back up that boast; in fact, he'd probably use a different method for each and every one of them and each would probably be more gruesome than the last; some of his methods are known to be ''murder'', ''poison'', ''guns'' and '''''massive explosions''''' which sometimes contain poison or release it into the air via fumes... and the exploding buildings will probably be armed to the teeth with men... who are ''also'' probably armed to the teeth with guns. The Joker does have quite a case of ComplexityAddiction, after all.
* A minor one: [[spoiler:After Batman stops Bane's heart and successfully revives him, Bane doesn't even gasp for air or cough - he ''immediately'' jolts his head up with a DeathGlare towards Batman, and just as quickly stands up and chokes him with one hand. ''In '''one''' second.'' Bane is just ''[[{{Determinator}} that utterly dedicated]]'' to Batman's death - not even ''his own resuscitation'' fazes him!]]

* The Joker claims that he could blow up fifteen skyscrapers before sunset.

*** Given that we ''know'' the Joker, we know he ''could'' definitely blow up fifteen skyscrapers in one night; assuming we know him well enough, he'd use a different method for each and every one of them and each would probably be more gruesome than the last; some of his methods are known to be ''murder'', ''poison'', ''guns'' and '''''massive explosions''''' which sometimes contain ''both'' murder ''and'' poison or release both into the air via fumes... and the exploding buildings will probably be armed to the teeth with men... who are ''also'' probably armed to the teeth with guns. The Joker does love his MoreDakka after all.

* A minor one: [[spoiler:After Batman stops Bane's heart and successfully revives him, Bane doesn't even gasp for air or cough - he ''immediately'' his head already showing a DeathGlare towards Batman, and just as quickly stands up and chokes him with one hand. ''In '''one''' second.'' Bane is just ''[[{{Determinator}} that utterly dedicated]]'' to Batman's death - not even ''his own resuscitation'' fazes him!]]

--->'''Bane''': [[BluntNo No.]] He's coming for you now. And when he gets here, I'm going to kill him. ''(slowly approaches Joker)'' ...''So you '''wait'''''.

* "You want teeth, I want answers." delivered to Killer Croc, neatly summing up Batman's interrogation technique.

* [[ForegoneConclusion Batman survives the events of this game]]. So he'll fight and defeat some of the deadliest assassins on the planet, built a relationship with the police, solved many cases including the oldest Cold Case in Gotham's history. All in ''one night''. Makes one wonder what a slow night for Batman is.

** Also, that means that, if you take the optional fight, you beat him up [[RuleOfThree three times.]]

* As a subtle CallBack / [[BookEnds Book End]] to the above, after Batman suffers a HeroicBsod due to [[spoiler: Alfred's near-death]], it's Alfred who gets him back on his feet.

-->'''Bruce Wayne:''' I can't defend Gotham. [[AdultFear I can't even defend my own home]].
-->'''Alfred:''' [[GetAholdOfYourselfMan Master Bruce, now is not the time for doubt]].
-->'''Bruce Wayne:''' [[DespairEventHorizon I can't do it. I can't stop them]].
-->'''Alfred:''' [[BaitAndSwitchComment No, you can't...not on your own]]. But it is high time you realized that you are a man, not an island. And a man's strength comes not from just [[OneManArmy brawn]] and [[SherlockScan intelligence]]...[[YouAreNotAlone but also from his allies]].

-->'''Radio:''' --Priority One alert. [[OhCrap The Joker has broken free from his cell and is leading the riots at Blackgate]]. Repeat, the Joker has taken over the ''entire prison''. Multiple casualties, multiple hostages. [[DarkestHour We have lost Blackgate]]. [[GondorCallsForAid Captain Gordon is calling on anyone]]--''anyone''--[[GondorCallsForAid for assistance!]]

-->'''Batman:''' ''(In possibly the coldest voice to ever come out of him)'' You swore an oath to uphold the law and protect this city. The next time I see you, I expect you to be upholding that oath. Am I clear?

''Cut to the Batwing soaring above Blackgate as it dissolves into chaos, with Batman ejecting and descending into the heart of the storm.''

** Give Bane some awesome points for just showing a small hint of his strength, he doesn't even really throw Joker either, just kinda flexes his arm when his hand is on Joker's shoulder. Joker goes sailing back like Batman had kicked him in the stomach. Whoa.

* Any players who actually manages to get the ''I Am The Night'' achievement. Why? Because it not just requires you to beat the game on the highest difficulty, but to do it '''with NO CONTINUES'''. If you can get this achievement, then you really are Batman.

* After three games, we finally get to [[spoiler:have an actual combat with the true, non-enhanced Joker. Sure, it's [[CurbStompBattle extremely]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown unbalanced]], but it's so satisfying to finally [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown punish]] Joker]].

* The [[spoiler:penultimate]] battle with Bane [[spoiler:at Blackgate Prison]] counts. [[spoiler:First, in a ScriptedBattle, Bane gets his Moment of Awesome by countering Batman, [[HoistHeroOverHead hoisting him above his head]], and slightly breaking his back before tossing him and placing his foot on his chest. Then, after the Joker holds Lieutenant Gordon at gunpoint, and Batman gets flashbacks as clues on how to beat Bane, the muscleman says to him [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments "May you find the peace in death that you did not find in life"]] before lifting his foot to strike him for the kill. That's when Batman gets his Moment of Awesome by grabbing Bane's striking foot in a HeroicSecondWind and says, [[PreAsskickingOneLiner "I'm not here for peace,"]] before unleashing the unlimited power of the Electrocutioner's Shock Gloves. After completely draining Bane's health, we get to see the Dark Knight unleash that power on the muscleman, temporarily stopping his heart to save both the Joker and Gordon. True Moment of Awesome indeed!]]

** Also, the moment when Batman tells Joker [[ShutUpHannibal "you need to learn to shut up"]]. Not only because it actually stops the Joker dead, but the camera pans round to show the two greatest enemies in all of comic book history staring each other down for the first time, the music swelling in the background. Even if you knew nothing about Batman and Joker, you could tell, right then, those two would be [[Film/TheDarkKnight destined to do this forever]]

* Mr. Freeze's fairly explosive and powerful entrance ''into Wayne Manor'' of all places, as shown in the Cold, Cold Heart DLC trailer. He can be seen walking across the room with no one still alive daring to even stand up.
