Batman might be a paragon of virtue, but he's only human. So we rounded up some tips to help you make the most of your tools and skills, and keep Joker's henchmen from clipping your wings.
Save and Spend
Enemies with knives and cattle prods will ruthlessly interrupt your combos, and thus limit your experience bonuses, unless you learn to deal with them appropriately. Cape stuns and dodges will keep you alive, but require more skillful timing. Whenever possible, rack up a combo multiplier on more manageable goons, and then put a more troublesome foe down with an unblockable special combo throw or takedown.
Tips for Surviving Batman: Arkham Asylum
See that guy in the back with the pipe? He'll present a much tougher challenge than the others so save him for last.
Ambush Artist
As soon as a roomful of armed guards is aware of your presence, your life gets much more difficult, so it pays to take out as many as possible with your first assault. Study the patrol pattern, slather explosive gel onto weak walls and other key spots along the different routes, and position yourself where you can take out another roving goon just after detonation. With a little planning, you can ice five or more goons in a single attack.
Beast Baiting
Bosses hyped up on Titan all follow the same basic pattern; master one, and you master them all. Just as one starts to charge, double-tap L1 to toss out a batarang, dodge, and then start pounding. Or, if you'd prefer to earn a trophy or achievement by leaving your batarang on your belt, stick with this simple pattern: two attacks, double-tap dodge into the boss to flip over him, and repeat. Get the timing down, and the poor dope won't ever land a single fist.
Costume Comfort
Resist the temptation to buy Batman's armor upgrades early in the game. The WayneTech purchase screen won't tell you so, but each of the four available improvements to your uniform's strength also doubles as a full and immediate health refill. This side effect comes in pretty handy during a couple of tough battles late in the game.
