    NO SPOILERS PLEASE! THANK YOU!


     In the grand tradition of such threads as 100 Things You've Learned Playing Fallout 3, I present to you the Batman: AA version! I'll start. Try to keep the numbering in order and the spam to a minimum if you can so I don't have to do too much cleaning later. (Duplicates and nonsense will be removed)
     
    1. Even though Batman is a total badass and an awesome gymnast, he still can't walk off of many small ledges without stopping first. Who's he trying to be, Marcus Fenix?

    2. Old mansions used to have gargoyles inside every large room.
     
    3. Forcefield gates have apparently been invented in modern day Gotham City.
     
    4. Arkham Asylum is well funded, because they can afford to install large LCD monitors in every room.
     
    5. Explosive gel doesn't require a receiver to be remote detonated.
     
    6. Punching someone and covering up their mouth is completely inaudible to other nearby human beings.
     
    7. Driving over someone with a jet powered car is considered a nonlethal tactic.

    8.  Arkham Asylum's security is balls out retarded. Of course the Joker needs more than one guard to be walked to his cell.

    11.  When Batman hallucinates he thinks of sidescrolling games
    12.  If you want to be a knife guy in Joker's army be prepared to hide in oversized giftboxes for extended periods of time
    13.  The Riddler could've had a successful career as a game show announcer
    14.  Commissioner Gordon likes to lift weights in his spare time

    15. Let's face it, when you're hanging upside down from a gargoyle, no henchmen can see you. Really, really? The guy is looking right up at me from a distance, you don't see the black thing dangling from the gargoyle?

    17. Batman can fit almost anything into his utility belt, except a gas mask. Gas masks just aren't worth carrying.

    34. If something has blocked your path, there is always a vent nearby to crawl into. 
     
    35. There are vents inside of statues that are only there to hide trophies, lead to nowhere and aren't connected to the ventilation system.

    37. Members of the Arkham staff have no discernable filing systems, instead prefering to just stack huge piles of files on top of each other next to perfectly good filing cabinets, and also leaving potentially revealing and important patient interviews lying around. 
     
    38. Whilst Batman did have the foresight to build a Batcave on Arkham, he couldn't be bothered joining the platforms up

    39. While it's absolutely possible to spam multiple regular batarangs in one throw, it is physically impossible to throw more than one sonic batarang per minute.
     
    40. The Spirit of Arkham has a lot of spare time, and has somehow placed down engraved stones on random locations across Arkham island detailing their patient malpractise, and has somehow made them look old and worn in the process.
     
    41. The Riddler is stupid enough to place down a map showing where he's hidden the solutions to his challenges, and still somehow get frustrated when Batman uses it.

    43. The Joker will only ever speak to you through a TV screen. Even if it means placing a TV set infront of his own head while leaving his body fully in sight and at the same time standing in the same cell for the duration of the game with only a pane of glass between himself and batman.

    45. The Riddler found holes in Arkham's pavement, put a trophy down there, and then resurfaced it poorly. 
     
    46. Arkham uses modern day psychiatric treatments such as electrified floors, and iron cages suspended by rusty chains over a large chasm.

    52. Minor goons are transformed into giant monstrosities when on Titan, but hot psycho chicks are just made more psychotic.
     
    53. Harley Quinn can ride an elevator counter weight upwards while twisted shrapnel and large metal beams rain down and not be injured in the least.
     
    54. Being on the party list doesn't mean you're actually wanted for the party. You have to have a smiley face by your name first.

    For those complaining about the Batcave under the Asylum, it's worth noting that they didn't make that up just for the game, it was mentioned in the comics before as something he built just incase.

    58. Mark Hamill must really hate people thinking Heath Ledger is the Quintessential Joker. 
    59. Batman may be rich, but he's not above going all 'Crocodile Dundee' on your ass if the situation requires it. 
    60. Arkham's lead architect had a thing for the old Disney cartoon 'Gargoyles'.
