Violence & Gore

  • The game has intense violence all throughout. This includes torture, fistfighting and gun violence. However none of it is graphic and not any worse than in the Batman movies.

  • Lots of intense fighting where Batman can break and snap many bones of the enemy. The sound effects are quite brutal and the game will often use a slow mo camera angle to highlight the final attack Batman does to an enemy.
  • Batman can now use the environment to take down thugs. Like for example, you can smash thugs' faces into electricity boxes, bust thugs' heads into light boxes on the ground.

  • There are a few jumpscares. Definitely the darkest of the Rocksteady Arkham Games.
  • This third (or fourth) development in the Arkham series seems to have the darkest tone to it of all games.
  • Scarecrow is taking the role as a main character in this game, so expect crazy hallucinations, loud and freaky voices.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • After Kirk Langstrom has been captured, he is nude, and when Batman picks him up you can see a little bit of his buttocks, somewhat hard to notice.

Violence & Gore

  • At the end of the game you can shoot an unarmed hostage.
  • Jokers dead body is burned at the beginning of the game. Pretty graphic, as his skin burns away.
  • At the end of the game we can see Scarecrow pointing at gun at Batman in the forehead not shooting but this could scare some players thinking Batman will get shot.

Profanity

  • In an audio tape, Mad Hatter tricks Aaron Cash into unknowingly rhyming with him with "Son of a bitch" rhyming with what Hatter said.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The mask pyg wears and the operating room scene might be disturbing for children under thirteen.
  • Near the end of the game, a hallucination is shown where Joker executes x\several villains and a civilian. Very disturbing.
  • One of the suicide scenes is a hallucination but is still very intense and disturbing and it is only revealed to be a hallucination later in the game. So on a first time playthrough many will believe it to be an actual death.
  • There's a villain in the game called Man-Bat which really scares the players out as you grapple up a building at a certain point in the game.
  • If players replay the game on new game plus, there's a disturbing change to the joker cremation. As his body burns away, this time he jumps scares the player by screaming as he burns to death
  • A scrapped side mission features Victor Zsasz, who frequently says nihilistic things.
