"The best thing in any game is when you have choices about how you want to play. You can either take the suicide route or try to take on everyone you meet head on or in true batman fashion use the shadows and fear to work your way through. Hanging off of gargoyles and ensnaring enemies forcing more enemies to come to that location. This is you being a hunter baiting your prey to where you want to be so you can take them out one on one. You will be able to use Batman's cape to glide to areas and land softly doing stealth take-downs in a more tactical sense while gathering what you need to hunt down the Joker."
