Tips

You can block enemy projectiles and attacks by holding Down and pressing the attack button. This defensive move is crucial for surviving boss fights.
Save your Batarangs and special weapons for bosses and large groups of enemies, as your ammo is limited.
In the Batmobile and Bat-skiboat stages, prioritize dodging obstacles and incoming fire over destroying every enemy vehicle.
