13. Deathstroke - Batman: Arkham Origins

Y'know, Arkham Origins just isn't that bad, and with moments like this, it actually provides some standout Batman sequences we'll be talking about for years.

The Deathstroke fight for example, was just an excuse to combine a number of fun gameplay sequences into one button-mashing frenzy of superpowered attack-trading. Opening with the standard third-person Arkham gameplay, you'll get thrown a curveball when suddenly you're tasked with defending a flurry of blows that only get faster and faster.

Survive though, and you'll turn the tables on Deathstroke, opening up your own barrage of elbows and punches, pummelling the guy into submission as you no doubt go hell-for-leather for the win. It's a very arcady duel for sure, but one that reminded us just how much fun quick-time events can be when done well.
