You will have to perform a reverse Beatdown or risk being hit by another enemy. Thugs can now grab Batman from behind and hold him in place. When facing an oncoming car, Batman can counter the car if timed correctly, jumping onto the hood and spraying explosive gel, then jumping off to watch the resulting explosion (the occupants will stagger out, stunned but alive!) If he is not countered, you will have to KO him with no information gained.

Fallen enemies can still be attacked on the ground, without requiring a ground takedown.Ī Riddler Informant may sometimes refuse to talk, and try to fight back. Fallen enemies on the ground can be picked up, where Batman can then perform a critical beatdown on them. If Batman has stunned an enemy, he can pick them up off the ground and perform a beatdown that causes critical damage.Ĭountering an attack while moving toward the enemy can result in a throw that can damage enemies caught in the way. Successful strikes will build up the Batmobile meter, and highlight an enemy in blue on which the takedown can be performed. If the Batmobile is nearby in combat, Batman can perform a batmobile assisted takedown, much like an environmental one. The Super Cape Stun can also be upgraded to be used by charging the cape stun button, rather than stunning an enemy 3 times in a row. This can damage other enemies in the trajectory. The Super Cape Stun (Cape Stun x3) can be upgraded to include an attack finisher as the enemy is thrown into the air. Batman and his allies no longer have a special area of effect stun attack (Bat Swarm, etc) These objects are also highlighted in blue, and will highlight a nearby enemy who can be used in the takedown as well.

There are now specific environmental objects that can be interacted with to perform instant takedowns on.
