** For extra creepiness, in between Ivy's sacrifice and completion of the next objective, not a single living person can be found on street level. Normally busy places like Grand Avenue and Chinatown are suddenly quiet as a grave with thug corpses littering the street. Only after completing the next objective do enemies slowly re-spawn on the street.

** If you look through the character bios, the renders for almost everyone seem relatively normal, often a bit creative or dynamic. When you go to Jason's however, ''it depicts him during Joker's torture,'' in stark contrast to all the rest. His head is lowered, face bloodied, and his arms bound above his head...the dude looks utterly defeated. Further worsened by what his occupation is said to be: "Crimefighter (deceased)".

** Footage of Jason's torture may have revealed the very room Joker tortured him in. [[https://youtu.be/EamdMCwpF7U?si=poEWs0tEUQolxNYU If you replay Asylum and head to the Sanatorium]], you might notice that the shower room matches up well with the room Jason was kept inside of - not to mention a ''large'' splatter of blood near the vent. It all reinforces one part of his BossBanter, and really hammers in how much HarsherInHindsight this otherwise merely creepy background detail proved to be.
-->'''Jason''': You wanna know where Joker kept me? I was ''sooooo'' close...

*** It's possible to break a Dollotron's mask through an environmental takedown. Whatever is under there, it's probably for the better not to see it. Part of it is a strange mass of lumpy flesh at the top of the head.

** Let's just put it this way. If you're a villain who's insane to such a disturbing extent, to such an unholy level that even ''Joker'' admits that you're completely crazy, '''you're ''pretty'' goddamn scary.''' ''That's'' pretty much Professor Pyg - so unsettling and terrifying that even Joker, as AxCrazy as he is, as much as he's doing everything ForTheEvulz, as terrifying as ''he'' was in life, pretty much says that Pyg's crazier than the rest of the bunch.

** How deeply Riddler has fallen into madness is equal parts unsettling and pathetic. While he was always childish dating back to ''Origins'', he at least seemed to be partly AffablyEvil even if it was condescending. Now, he's so completely detached from reality that he seems to devote every second he can in desperately trying to prove himself superior to Batman; not even caring for his hygiene or once-dapper fashion at this point. He's long since shifted from a merely self-righteous douche to a ''homicidal lunatic.''

** While Croc's voice was slowly changing from raspy to a growling tone, he sounds utterly ''monstrous'' here. His voice at this point is just pure deep dread, sounding like it physically hurts him to try to speak anymore now; it just goes to show that Croc's lost any remaining trace of humanity he had left at this point.

** Even worse, Croc's appearance in the ''Season of Infamy'' DLC shows that it wasn't just a flight of fantasy; ''it's already happened to him''. Yet worse, it wasn't a natural mutation either; a corrupt warden ''caused'' it via experimenting on him. Specifically, he ordered to have Croc's hand sawed off (which, of course, you have to watch footage of), and the resultant trauma on his body caused him to regenerate...and end up looking much worse for wear.

*** Joker's demeanor, when you compare it to ''Asylum'', ''City'' and even ''Origins'', is still humorous for the most part...but also noticeably much darker and outright malevolent, being less FauxAffablyEvil and more just flatout ''evil''. When Joker is urging Batman to kill Scarecrow, Mark Hamill drops the energy completely for a bone-chilling, venomous ''hiss'', scarcely heard before in earlier games. It's a testament to the fact that, among all the villains, behind the laughs, mayhem and even survival instinct, the Joker is and will remain the '''''worst''''' of them all...

** Harley's equivalent to the Detective Mode? A red tinted filter, with walls covered in barely decipherable scribbles (though you can make some phrases out... such as "dear god I'm alone") and giggles echoing in the background. Her DLC also changes the user interface to the same scribbled-on font as seen on the walls, with the enemy counter in Predator sections now reading "(insert number) little piggies", further driving in just how unhinged Harley is.
** It also reveals that she hears Harleen's voice in her head all the time, trying to convince her to stop her brutality. Deep down, Harley probably knows what she's doing is wrong, but is too far gone to stop doing it.
