The henchmen have, of course, wised up to Batman's "he sits on the rafters" trick, though, and they occasionally scan the gargoyles to see if Batman is on them. the gargoyles, for example, that once plagued every building in Arkham (for no reason other than Batman sits on gargoyles, duh!) no longer do, replaced by rafters, or protruding metal poles. The stealth sections have been improved in tiny ways, also, but it mixes up the formula so well from Asylum. If anything, I hate the Batman universe! But Rocksteady, god bless 'em, have managed to combine all the elements of the Batman universe that deserve to be combined, trimming the fat, and adding details that amount to the best Batman world ever realized. A man who prefaces every sentence with "riddle me this," a small child who spouts hideous one-liners as Batman grimaces to himself. Batman is a psychologically tormented ninja-type figure who stalks on the fear and superstition of criminals. And for the longest time, Riddler - the list goes on there's so many parts of Batman that rub me the wrong way.
This may come across as the praise of a fanboy, but quite the opposite - as much as I love Batman, there are so many elements that irk me, so many elements the true Batman fans would say must be there.

It's Rocksteady Studios though - with the help of Animated Series head writer Paul Dini - who have crafted the best possible representation of the Batman universe.
