Batman ripping off vents
He is litterally pulling them off, all bolts attached. How? He doesn't have venom or superhuman strength. And I'm no expert on this, but I don't think any normal human is capable of ripping off bolted down vents even with training.

Anyone got any input on this?

I thought of this as well, either the vents are made in China or he really works out alot.

The metal could be rusted or weakened due to being in a humid and cold environment for many years. So it may not take lots of strength to rip them off. That is my theory anyways.

Even better when you do the slide across the floor and break the vents xD Like how?! XD

Another thing, as the games progress you get holes in your cape. How the hell can you still glide if there are holes all over your cape? XD

Because its a GAME and he is Batman, so stop nitpicking about da little things and enjoy xD. If u want real life go outside and stop living in the imaginary world. xD

Yes it's a game but when a superhero is based off realism nit-picking the lore can be amusing. Speaking of which if your jumping off a building and used a grapple, wouldn't your arm get yanked on and injured?

Some take this as nitpicking, others, like me, take it as inquisitive thought. And Batman's detective mode even states these vents are especially designed to be escape proof so the OP's question is a valid one. For your batmaning pleasure, Ive since discovered, despite beating this 3 times, Joker goons, can be grappled off ladders, ledges, and pulled/punched into electric fields, you can even punch one off a ladder as he climbs up to you. If your feeling like Aggressive Batman from Superman vs Superman, you can let Ivy's pods kill enemies for you prior to clearing said pods.

Batman says he doesn't kill anyone when really, his interference often just gets more killed. If he isn't the one to pull the trigger he is okay with it, but not killing the joker? Knowing he will just escape again and kill hundreds more... I can see why he wouldn't want to kill people. But Joker? Even in Arkham Origins he says he deserves to die. He knows he does, and he also knows Batman will never kill him so he can just keep having his fun with no real punishment.

Also in the first Christian Bale Batman movie Commissoner Gordon mentioned their little "arms race" with the criminals. They get semi-automatics, the criminals get automatic weapons. They get bullet-proof vests, the crims get armor-piercing rounds. They get batman... then the Joker appears?

Based on this I feel like Batman can kind of be blamed for the Joker. (His appearence, not his actions afterwards

Also in the first movie batman refuses to execute a single murderer to join the Leage of Shadows. Instead he decides to blow up the whole damn buildings, killing almost everyone INCLUDING the guy he refused to execute? WTF BATMAN?

I'm sorry I'm rambling, but since there seems to be some people on this thread with constructive thoughts I thought it would be best to throw out some other thoughts I had on Batman stuff.
I'd say it's some sort of exo-skeleton to enhance and increase strength hidden within his suit. Maybe not super-human strength, but enough to tear vents off the wall. He would need something to stop his arm from dislocating due to the grapple accelration, why not modify it to also allow an augmented boost to strength.

There is no real explanation for half the things batman does and it's not really in the realm of reality to begin with. You just need to let a lot of it slide by and enjoy the details they didn't forget about.

There is spider web in the vents, so the vents are probably old and rusty which makes them easier to break?

Good points. before someone says otherwise, its obvious to me your fasicinated with his mindset. I know your not knocking the games, though I do long for the days when devs made games that were fun, interesting storylines, and best part of all, actually WORKED properly...can you imagine?
