NO SPOILERS PLEASE! THANK YOU!

In the grand tradition of such threads as 100 Things You've Learned Playing Fallout 3, I present to you the Batman: AA version! I'll start. Try to keep the numbering in order and the spam to a minimum if you can so I don't have to do too much cleaning later. (Duplicates and nonsense will be removed)

1. Even though Batman is a total badass and an awesome gymnast, he still can't walk off of many small ledges without stopping first. Who's he trying to be, Marcus Fenix?
