. What a special game. My brother saw me playing that part, and he instantly declared the game awesome and vowed to start playing it.
. That was a refreshing and fun as hell gaming experience.
the scarecrow nightmare fight
I had a feeling that Batman was having a nightmare, because I noticed his eyes glowing red, and I thought it suspicious that the game developers could kill off a character as important as Gordon. Then when the strange telephone operator responded to Batman instead of Oracle, my suspicions were pretty much confirmed. It was so fucking cool entering the morgue to see the metal cabinet doors flapping around, and then, - fuck... this is when my brother and I flipped our shit - I tried to exit the morgue and ending up right back in the same place. Opening up his dead zombie parents' body bags, and then getting freaked the fuck out by the third body bag, and then fighting in the bizarre, ludicrously trippy nightmare world, all of that combined just blew me away

You'll really lose your shit at the next scarecrow encounter. It is a really powerful sequence of events
This is the first game since Halo 3 that I actually wanted to collect everything. Now that I have, I'm still not at 100%. I have to get all the challenge rooms completed, and try and get 100%. I am going for 1000/1000 for this game. This is INCREDIBLY rare for me. This game is something else, for some reason.

But I went back and beat the bastard, 1st place once again. Madden666 I am coming for all your scores.
As far as a sequel goes, let's discuss potential villains and how they will handle it.
Two-Face for sure. I would love other ones like Prometheus, Penguin, Mr. Freeze, and bring back the Riddler. Killer-Croc is still alive ( he grabs the Titan formula at the end of the game, after the credits ). How will they handle it without all the villians being in Arkham Asylum? I'm thinking like a hub world, the Batcave. You get calls and you have to go to the places and investigate, discover more, etc. But you just select them and Batman drives there in his Batmobile. I don't think free-roaming would bid well in this game.

Actually
the ending is randomized. When I finished, it was Scarecrow's hand grabbing the Titan formula. It's gonna be one of three endings, Scarecrow, Croc, or Bane.

What a game. What a fucking game! It has everything I needed from a Batman game!
I think I am 80% done with the story mode.
My favorite part:

My favorite part:
Bruce entering Crime Alley via Scarecrow's Toxin. I swear, I left the controller when lil bruce fell on his knees. I stopped playing for 3 or so minutes before I started walking again.
Can someone explain what is up with the Green Question Marks sometimes seen in Detective mode?
I assume they are for the Riddler challenges, but I have no idea what to do with them. I try to scan them in a million different positions but it always comes up as incomplete or something like that

Usually the question mark will be missing the dot. Climb somewhere high to find the dot and align it. Once aligned, you can solve the riddle

Can somebody please reassure me about something? I have just finished the first section of the game and have gotten to the surface of the island. There are a few areas of the first section that seem inaccessible (need explosives), am I right in thinking I will get these later on in the game and will have to go back to those areas again, or have I missed something?
Oh yeah, forgot to say, the game is FUCKIN' AWESOME!

The answer you are looking for is "Yes".
Shit unlocks later on. Even if you miss out on the riddles, you can still backtrack at the end of the game.

Cheers mate, that is what I thought, but spent a good hour looking around the whole section last night just in case. i will just go with the flow and tidy up the loose ends once I am finished, I am a bit of a completionist (*cough* trophy whore *cough*)

Hoooooly shit this game is AWESOME! I've spent like an hour and a half with the main game, though I'm extremely slow at playing it - I've only just started encountering
. But for the last half hour or so I've just been doing that first challenge room :lol It feels SO GOOD to get a combo up into the 30s and 40s!!
I haven't even downloaded the Joker DLC yet, either. Holy shit I love this game. My GOTY for sure, so far.

Ok I was trying to solve a riddle last night
BTW my wife loved the cartoon and she has been glued to the screen watching me play. This game is amazing.
Im in the room where it says you need to look from a different perspective? I climbed up top and i looked to the left and it says partial solved or partial clue? I'm not sure what I'm actually looking at though lol. I found the killer croc cage one so I know its not that. Any advice to what I'm doing wrong?

I'm afraid I enjoy the combat system so much I'll never be able to leave the first challenge room to progress through the awesome main game and unlock more challenge rooms
There's plenty of combat in the regular game too.
Been playing a little bit. Just quit at the point after
So far, it's been soooooo good. I want to play more, but I promised my girlfriend that I wouldn't play too much before she got home from work, because she wanted to see it.
So hard to not boot it up again and keep playing.
Also played the first challenge room. Had a great time, and being the goddamn Batman and dodging every single blow, to get the Perfect Knight Bonus felt awesome.
Can't wait to play more!
Harley blows away the elevator and you need to climb around to get up the floors.
