Arkham's Batman is the perfect companion for a spooky night of fun


Over the Halloween weekend, we return to Batman: Arkham City's challenge rooms - which turn out to be the spooky season's ultimate companion.

Instead you have to use everything else in the Batman arsenal: the gadgets, like explosive gel, Batarangs and smoke bombs, your traversal skills, such as the glide and the the grapnel swing, and the environmental stuff - weak walls you can knock through, grates you can dive in and out of, gargoyles you can hang from. You duck underneath the gargoyle, and the screen catches a wonderfully surreal glimpse of that bat cowl hanging upside down, its ears pointed earthwards. Tiktok seems to suggest as much, with displays of ingenuity that see Batman moving around the environment for ages before attacking, rigging every spot with something nasty for his foes, before waiting for the right moment and clinching victory in a single second.
