Things I Learned from Batman: Arkham Asylum
You may think you have the Joker under control, but you don't. You never will. He will always be one step ahead of you.
You cannot cape stun a henchman into unconsciousness.
You can't with Batarangs either.
There are always lunatics somewhere.
Speaking of lunatics, don't let them gang up on you. They're like angry monkeys, and if you have seen 28 Days Later, then you know how dangerous they can be.
However, when Poison Ivy is taking over the island, her flowers will knock the lunatics out. So you can wait for them to do that for you before going into an area. Cha-ching.
When trying to grapple up to a gargoyle to escape armed henchmen, make sure you target the gargoyle and not the bridge where they are all standing.
Yes, that floor is electric. Stop jumping down onto it. That doesn't make it turn off.
You have a line launcher. Don't forget about it and therefore waste a half hour trying to figure out how to get out of the broken-down cave area.
Speaking of the line launcher, it doesn't work against Killer Croc. Make sure you have a Batarang selected to throw at him when he charges at you, not the line launcher. You will make his day but not yours.
If a sniper has his laser on you, don't sit still and think he doesn't notice you. He does. And he will shoot you. Repeatedly.
Don't do the morgue level at a late hour.
When you finally do the morgue level, scan the Great White Shark riddle so that you don't have to go back in there.
If you press the detective mode button when you are in Scarecrow's dream world, he laughs. It is perfectly okay to abuse this.
When trying to dodge a Titan henchman, make sure you are angled to jump away from him, not towards.
You can cut down unconscious henchmen that you used the inverted takedown against and use the gargoyle to perform the same move again. Yay for not confronting the armed henchmen!
When you are stuck, go into detective mode. It always gives you something to work with.
When your screen freaks out at the last Scarecrow level, your system is not broken. Stop panicking.
No matter how many curse words you yell at it, the Play as the Joker PS3 exclusive will not suddenly work for your Xbox.
Always stop and listen to the Joker when he comes over the intercom. He always says something funny and/or badass.
It is completely appropriate to yell Western rodeo-related things when you are on top of a Titan henchman.
Why yes, Riddler, I did use the internet to solve your riddles.
The game does seem easy enough until you try it on hard.
