History Awesome / BatmanAssaultOnArkham

* Harley holding her own against the Batman. She even ''[[UpToEleven gave him a bloody nose]]'' at the start of the fight.

** If you go by the theory that she really was [[spoiler: trying to help the Joker escape]], she managed to [[spoiler: get the bullets to ricochet perfectly to damage his cell walls without actually hitting him]]. In a very small, enclosed room.

** To put things in perspective, [[spoiler: Joker threatens to kill Deadshot for "touching his stuff" (i.e. Harley). With the clown in possession of his wrist-mounted machine-gun, Deadshot proceeds to walk up to Joker and put the psychopath's gun to his own forehead. He tells Joker that he's out of bullets, and when the clown pulls the trigger, nothing will happen and then he's going get his face beaten in. After a three-count, Joker insists Lawton stop because he's sure there are still bullets in the chamber. He fires once into the ceiling, which gives Deadshot enough of a distraction to punch him in the face, snatch his gauntlet as it falls, and open fire on the fleeing clown. Somehow, Deadshot knew Joker still had one round left, and bluffed him into wasting it. The man sure has one hell of a poker face.]]
* The very ending, where [[spoiler:Deadshot managed to catch Amanda Waller in her office, is setting himself to shoot, and has his daughter ''playing with a teddy bear while this happens'']]. Talk about EarnYourHappyEnding.
* [[spoiler:Deadshot]] versus [[spoiler:[[BadassNormal The Joker]]]], the former outmatched through lack of tools [[spoiler:(Deadshot ran out of bullets, but Joker had his knives and signature acid flower with him)]]. [[spoiler:Deadshot wins and The Joker of all people admits he's the only person not named Batman to give him a problem.]]
* The Riddler sits calmly in his cell, waiting for the assassin that he knows Waller will send. It turns out to be Killer Frost. [[MercyKill She promises to make his death quick]]. Riddler, unfazed, asks her if she wasn't the least bit curious why Waller wanted him dead. When Killer Frost says no, Riddler calls her on it. Then, never losing his collected calm, tells Killer Frost, even as she's starting the process of freezing him to death, that he had already figured out how to disarm the [[ExplosiveLeash nano-explosives in their necks.]] And had already done so to himself. To also show himself to be AwesomeByAnalysis, Riddler needs only to see that [[spoiler: "Black Spider"'s head was perfectly intact to realize that it was Batman]].

** Let's not down-sell what Shark did. He rams Batman through half the warehouse, knocks the tasers away from him, catches a punch ''from'' one of those tasers, Bats had to go for the groin with the taser, and he gets back up after that without much trouble. [[spoiler: Spider gets switched for Bats pretty quickly once the lights go down]].

* Harley holding her on against the Batman. She even ''[[UpToEleven gave him a bloody nose]]'' at the start of the fight.

** Followed by [[BigDamnHeroes Batman saving his ass]] and taking Bane out [[CurbStompBattle ''in ten seconds.'']]

* Batman deals with Victor Zsasz, who has a woman at knifepoint and is his usual AxCrazy self, in classic ''Film/BatmanReturns'' fashion by firing his speargun into the wall behind him and then taking him out by smacking him with a piece of wall. Batman stops another would-be murder spree in all but ten seconds before letting the cops handle him and moving on to other business.

* The [[CasualDangerDialogue casual attitude]] of the "veteran" members of the Squad upon waking up to find they're back under Waller's thumb again. They see the whole thing as more of an inconvience than a life-threatening suicide mission. Comes with the reputation of being a badass.

* [[spoiler:Deadshot]] versus [[spoiler:[[BadassNormal The Joker]]]], the former outmatched through lack of tools [[spoiler:(Deadshot ran out of bullets, but Joker had his knives and signature acid flower with him)]]. [[spoiler:Deadshot wins and The Joker of all people admits [[{{HSQ}} he's the only person not named Batman to give him a problem.]]]]

** Deadshot attempting a break out from the supermax he currently resides in while under guard. Using only a "borrowed" ballpoint pen, he picks the lock to his handcuffs, stuns a guard with a well-aimed throw to the forehead before slamming the man into a wall), and then takes apart the other guard's gun with a single move and knocks him unconscious.

* The first fight Batman has against the Squad when he arrives at Arkham. The ''only'' one who manages to fight him almost as an equal is Black Spider. Him aside, he outclasses ''all'' of them. Better still, Killer Shark had just finished verbally dismissing some of his RoguesGallery before he arrived, and yet as seen in the games, some of them gave Batman a better fight one-on-one than the entire squad did.

* During the breakout, Commissioner Gordan methodically empties his revolver at a charging Bane like he does this crap everyday.

* Batman, [[{{Badass}} being]] [[OneManArmy Batman]], takes out all of Waller's men without so much as a scratch on him.

** Harley Quinn attending a meeting at a half-way house for women at the Roosevelt Support Center. One of the ladies is foolish enough to [[TooDumbToLive take away her iPhone while she's watching]] ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow.'' Harley's response is to rip her ear off with her teeth before going back to watching her cartoons like nothing even happened.
