Hints
Defeating Bane
Xbox 360 Bane's health meter is in three sections. He will sometimes rip a chunk of wall out and throw it out you. Tap A(2) to dodge these. When he is about to charge, quick-throw a Batarang (tap LT). Bane will cover his face and run head-first into the wall. When an entire section of his health has been depleted, run up to him, while stunned, and perform a combo. Batman will jump on his back and rip out a hose which supplies his venom. After each time that you do this, henchmen will jump the railings and attack you. Deal with them before Bane. While it is possible to still attack Bane while dealing with the henchmen, it is difficult. It is better to just dodge Bane until the henchmen are unconscious. Repeat this process three times and Bane will be defeated. Note: If you wait too long between attacks, Bane will periodically recharge his health.
Killing Poison Ivy's plants
To kill Poison Ivy's big fat plants that sit on the ground, get near them to pull out the heart by dropping from above. Find a high point such as a tower or building then drop down directly beside it. The plant will not have time to produce the irritating orbs that can hurt you before you rip its heart out.

Solving The Riddler's "?"s
If you are stumped by The Riddler's more "taxing" riddles such as "What's right in front of you but still hidden from view?", you will usually be able to use Detective mode to find a piece of a question mark without a dot (or the dot without the question mark). The easiest way to see an example of this is to go to the second balcony outside of the penitentiary. Look toward the medical facility and enable Detective mode. You will see a "?" with no dot under it on the floor. Grapple to the balcony above and on the center pole of the railing is the "?"'s dot. Align them onscreen and use Environmental Analysis. This solves the "Do you see what I see? No? Then maybe I am in a stronger position." riddle. There are a only a few of these, but remember you must find both parts of the "?" and align them to solve the riddle.
"Solve The Spirit of Arkham's Mystery" chronicle
Created by EggoGF.
If you are skilled enough to find all of The Riddler's secrets maps, or if you can actually find all the Chronicle of Arkham pieces hidden throughout the game without them, there will be one more blank chronicle remaining to decipher. To unlock it, go all the way back to where you found Clayface behind the wall in the penitentiary. Go up the center stairs where you left Warden Sharp a long time ago, and there will be some scribbling on the floor. Use your Environmental Analysis on it and the last chronicle will unlock. Note: This will unlock the "World's Greatest Detective" achievement or trophy.
Easy combo points
- Fight a Titan henchman along with a group of normal henchmen. Stun the Titan, then jump on his back and use him to hit the normal henchman to build your combo total.
- While attacking, after two or three simultaneous attacks when you attack the next time press [Attack] for a moment then release it to unleash a special move. This gives you two points points and does more damage.
Record Breaker stage in Challenge mode
After Poison Ivy destroys the Batcave, cross to the three hills to land on the mainland at Arkham West. Note: You will unlock a trophy after you land on first hill. Then, go to the second one. There are two small holes through which you can see cliffs. Through one, you see the mainland which is directly in front of you after you land on the second hill. Before doing that, look and grapple over there then go to a small exterior. You will see a cliff which has no den or any other place to land. Glide onto that location and you will find a trophy which will unlock Record Breaker in Challenge mode.

Easy "Catch" achievement or trophy
Created by Y2KFrosty.
Go outside of a building. Toss your Batarang with the Remote Controlled Batarang upgrade. Control the Batarang so that it returns to Batman in a wide arc.
Easy "Freeflow Perfection" achievement or trophy.
Note: This trick requires that Batman is fully upgraded with all combo-based upgrades, etc. You can do this fairly easily in the later rounds of the first Challenge, "Intensive Treatment". You must be able to perform the following moves in a single combo, without getting hit, blocked, or allowing the combo counter run out: Quick Batarang (may be optional), Quick Batclaw (may be optional), Punch, Stun, Evade, Counter, Throw, Instant Takedown, Ground Takedown. Note: You can evade as many times as desired to keep the combo going. Begin with the Batclaw and follow up with a Batarang. These may not be required, but you may as well throw them so they cannot hinder you. After using the first few moves listed after those, plus a few Punches to get your combo meter above 5x, you can perform a Throw. Do not let Batman hit anyone else or you may leave yourself without any opponents to continue the combo. Punch a bit more and Evade as needed, then use the Instant Takedown when becomes available. Before using a Ground Takedown to complete this combo, use some Batarangs to stun anyone else nearby. If it is all clear, execute the Ground Takedown to complete the "perfect" combo.
Easy "Mano-a-mano" achievement or trophy
This strategy requires the Proximity Detonation Explosive Gel Upgrade. In Challenge mode, select Rumble In The Jungle. Fight through the first three rounds, conserving as much health as possible. In round 4 do not engage the Titan until everyone else in the room (other Arkham inmates) has been put down permanently. Do not use a Batarang -- if you hit the Titan with it at all it voids the achievement or trophy. Immediately switch to your Explosive Gel and wait for the Titan to charge at you. Watch out because there is always a chance he will throw a dead body at you first. Dodge the charge, then set one of your own (meaning spray the floor with Explosive Gel; it is best to do it immediately after he rushes at you and make sure you let Batman completely spray the gel). Stand over the area you sprayed if possible. When the Titan charges again, dodge and you should hear a loud bang. The explosion does not take much health off the beast at all, but it does not matter. After he takes one big blind haymaker punch move in, just keep hammering him with attacks. You can build up a good twelve to fifteen hit combo on him before Batman delivers the knockout blow earning, you the achievement or trophy.
Easy "Night Glider" achievement or trophy
- Reach the highest point of Arkham Mansion in Arkham East (the clock tower), then glide down.

Easy "Party Pooper" achievement or trophy

Ras Al Ghul's resurrection
You can find Ras' corpse in Dr. Young's office. Later in the game if you re-visit the office, Ras Al Ghul's body bag has been unzipped and his body is missing, showing that he once again resurrected and escaped.
Hidden website
In the Intensive Treatment, there is a long hallway (where Scarecrow first attacks you). A recording talks about how to treat patients. It tells you that you can find pricing information at http://www.arkhamcare.com/prices/ which is a real website.
Batman: Arkham City reference
Enter the Warden's office. Go to the back to the room with the Warden's portrait on the far wall. Turn left when you enter the doorway and approach the wooden wall. Destroy one of the wall panels with Explosive Gel. Enter the opening to access an unmarked room with a blueprint on the wall. It displays the plans for the relocation of Arkham to Gotham City.
Batman RIP reference
During the final confrontation with Scarecrow, it shows Batman's gravestone, which is the same design as the current comic book series Batman RIP.
Batman: The Killing Joke reference
Before the end fight with The Joker, The Joker sends thugs to attack Batman while he watches from a "throne" set on top of mannequins. In the graphic novel, Batman: The Killing Joke, when The Joker has Commissioner Gordon at the carnival he is sitting on a "throne" on top of skeletons.
George Clooney reference
Rescue Cash and the orderly from the Joker's laughing gas. Then, stand in the main room looking at the smaller room where they were trapped. A ticker will scroll the following garbled message: "Dr. Clooney report to Gynecology." This is a reference to George Clooney, who once had the role of Batman.
KnightFall reference
If you lose to Bane there is a cinematic of him snapping Batman's back over his knee. This is reference to KnightFall book 1, where Bane breaks Batman's spine.
Scarecrow actor references
Listen to the first Scarecrow interview. You will hear him talking and mention a Dr. Murphy, and a Dr. Combs will be mentioned by a security guard. Cillian Murphy played Scarecrow in the newer movies and Jeffrey Combs voiced Scarecrow on the later episodes of Batman: The Animated Series.
Three Stooges reference
While doing detective work looking for Gordon's pipe tobacco, you will hear The Joker paging "Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine, Dr. Howard".
