I've just completed IVY and got back to the visitors centre where Joker is having fireworks now upon knocking everyone out I enter the door and it's just a black screen nothing loads up, has the game bugged out???

First, verify and patch the game, then test for improvement:
1. Select game in Library, right-click Properties > Local Files, Verify Integrity of Game Files.
2. Select game in Library, right-click Properties > Updates, Automatic Updating.

If no improvement, try disabling DirectX:
1. Locate DefaultEngine.ini: Steam \ steamapps \ common \ Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY \ BmGame \ Config \ DefaultEngine.ini
2. Open DefaultEngine.ini with NotePad
3. Locate "AllowD3D10=True" and change True to False
4. Save file and restart computer

If no improvement, try disabling PhysX from inside the Launcher > Settings, last item down.

Physics isnt enabled because Im using a RX580 8GB

Verified the game didnt work

Save was backed up to the cloud so can't use that, starting new game works so somehow the main nearly completed save is now corrupt and I would have to start again

There's a PhysX for AMD, if needed. If you still had the old save, you could've tested this:

Also, try reducing your in-game resolution from maximum from inside the Launcher > Settings. That might help you in your new playthrough.
