Finally, after knocking an inmate to the ground, try to perform a 'Ground Takedown' on them to finish them off before they get back up! Finally, you can stun enemies by pressing the 'Cape Stun' button when nearby this will render them helpless for several seconds, which can be extremely useful when battling groups of baddies. However, it doesn't inflict any damage itself. Whenever an enemy's about to attack, a blue 'action' symbol will appear above their head-this indicates they're vulnerable to a 'counter.' To counter, simply tap the respective button anytime the blue symbol is displayed, this will knock your opponent back before they can attack, stunning them briefly. This will be the move you use most often. Basic attacks can be performed with the 'Strike' button pressing it multiple times will create chain-attacks. This is a good chance to become acquainted with the battle system. After Batman breaks through the window after him, you'll have to take on a group of escaped inmates.

Uh-oh, the Joker's broken-free (what a surprise, huh?). This is a pretty lengthy sequence, so try and enjoy the stroll. Looks like your job is already done! Go ahead and escort the police as they drag the Joker through the asylum. Well would you look at that Batman's finally captured the Joker. Also, we’ve found that having the remote controlled Batarang early on is also especially helpful, allowing you to drop several enemies with a single throw. The amount of times it'll save your hide more than makes up for its cost, particularly as it helps build your overall experience level. Speaking of which, when it comes to upgrading your abilities, additional armor should be your first priority. As for the armed opponents, use your cape to stun them, before battering them into submission. When it comes to engaging a mixed group of armed and unarmed enemies, It’s generally a good idea to take on the unarmed opponents first, just to get them out of your way. Not only does it inform you of how many enemies are located in the vicinity, but its X-Ray capabilities allows you to easily spot them against the background.

It’s also a good idea to keep detective mode on pretty much at pretty much all-times, particularly when entering a new area. You can also try setting traps and using distractions to gain the upper-hand For instance, use your explosive gel to set a trap then try getting everyone’s attention-when they come running to see what the commotion is all about, they'll be sent flying sky-high. Instead, employ some stealth Batman action and take them out from behind with a silent takedown to avoid alerting the others. Of course, if you encounter a group of gun toting enemies, don't attack them head-on.
