Elements worth mentioning:

- Arkham Asylum open endedness
- Kevin Conroy and Mark Hamill voice their respective characters of Batman and the Joker
- Predator gameplay: you can do these stealth takedowns on enemies much like the shipment scene from Batman Begins. Silently dispatching enemies leads to them becoming scared of you.
- Detective gameplay: there's a scanning mode like Metroid Prime. Puzzles can involve forensics.
- Zelda style boss battles: boss battles don't always consist of a straight out fist fight
- Ability to play as villains: article doesn't mention if this is a bonus or if it's part of the main game
- "What if Batman had to use a gun to save someone?...How far is Batman going to go to stop Joker?"
