The combat is simple but almost elegant, a brutal ballet of punches, kicks and blocks that require good timing and keen awareness of the Caped Crusader's surroundings. By flicking into so-called detective mode, Batman can see foes through walls, suss out enemies' fear levels by detecting their heart rates and pick up on clues invisible to the naked eye. His might, intellect and gadget-festooned utility belt all factor into the game's mechanics.
