** [[invoked]]Commissioner Gordon is hit with this on two levels. Not only does Michael Gough have [[NamesTheSame the exact same name]] as the actor who played Alfred in the Burton/Schumacher Batman movies, but Gough previously voiced [[VideoGame/{{Diablo}} Deckard Cain]], who is noted to sound exactly like Bane in Film/TheDarkKnightRises.

** Martin Jarvis, Creator/NolanNorth, Chris Cox, Peter [=MacNicol=], Creator/TomKane, and Music/GreyDeLisle reprise their respective roles as Alfred, Penguin, Deadshot, Mad Hatter, Quincy Sharp, and Vicki Vale from ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity''. Likewise, Creator/WallyWingert reprises the role of Edward Nymga/Nashton, albeit under the pre-Riddler alias Enigma and Creator/TaraStrong returns as a pre-Harley Quinn Harleen Quinzel.

* CastingGag:
** This wouldn't be the first time Creator/RogerCraigSmith's voiced [[VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII a stealthy, combat savvy, cape-and-cowl clad rooftop jumper]].
** Creator/TroyBaker as the Joker, having voiced Tim Drake in ''Arkham City'' - [[GrandTheftMe Tim became the Joker]] in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker''.
** This isn't the first time Creator/BrianBloom played [[VideoGame/TheDarkness a gangster who doubles]] [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueCrisisOnTwoEarths as a supervillain]].
** Creator/JoshKeaton voices Robin in Multiplayer, once again voicing a [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan young, red-costumed, chatty superhero]].
** Creator/KellyHu's no stranger to [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 voicing]] [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice assassins]] [[Series/{{Arrow}} or dealing with vigilantes]].

** The character voiced by TaraStrong doesn't have many friends. Only this time, her character goes down a darker path to get some rather than [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic learning the magic of friends]].

** Batman is voiced by Creator/RogerCraigSmith instead of Creator/KevinConroy because A) Conroy was too busy working on [[Videogame/BatmanArkhamKnight other]] [[Film/BatmanAssaultOnArkham projects]] and B) They wanted a new voice actor to portray a younger, less experienced Batman.

* RoleReprisal: [[spoiler:CCH Pounder as Amanda Waller]], returning from ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueUnlimited''.
** Robert Costanzo is back as Harvey Bullock after voicing him in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.

* PropRecycling: A particularly strange instance, as Mark Hamill's loudspeaker cackles from ''City'' are recycled for some of the multiplayer maps.

** Creator/JBBlanc replaces FredTatasciore as Bane, which is surprising considering Tatasciore returns to provide voices in the game.

** Because of the game taking place at an earlier time, Creator/RogerCraigSmith voices Batman instead of Creator/KevinConroy.

** Robert Costanzo is back as Harvey Bullock after voicing him in ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries''.

** [[spoiler: CCH Pounder reprises her role as [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Amanda Waller]].]]

* FlipFlopOfGod: On the canonicity of the games. It's suppose to be set within the rest of the Arkham-verse but contradicts many things that were set within it.
