10 Things You Didn't Know About Batman: Arkham City

9. Deadshot Threatens Bruce Wayne In The Processing Center

One of the long-running side missions in Arkham City concerns Deadshot, a supervillain running around the city and sniping other inmates, leaving a trail of dead bodies for Batman to find and follow. It's one of the game's more memorable optional encounters, relying on Batman's detective work to track the killer down.

However, it's even more satisfying to complete it and take him out with this detail in mind.

The opening to Arkham City actually has you controlling Bruce Wayne outside of the costume, being escorted through the prison and hounded by inmates. While most of these nondescript goons fade into the background, there is one in particular that tells Bruce Wayne he's on his list. It turns out this is actually Deadshot out of costume.

As a result, when you finally defeat him hours later, the victory feels even more personal.
