18. Like A Bat Out Of Hell - Batman: Arkham Knight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSKQjwY1RHc So you've just smacked around a gang of the Arkham Knight's goons, or blown up a battalion of tanks; what have you. You're gliding through the Gotham sky, and planning your next move when you spot a grapple point on the rooftop up ahead. Reaching for your trusty utility belt, you fire a line at the crumbling ledge of an old skyscraper, and as you zoom up towards the top, you're shocked into paralysis by a gigantic bat creature as it lunges towards you while you dangle precariously over the streets below. Does any of this ring a bell? If you've played through Arkham Knight, chances are you've already become well acquainted with Dr. Kirk Langstrom; also known as Man-Bat. I'm also willing to bet that after being frightened nearly to death by his introductory scene, you spent the next few hours bracing yourself every time you clambered up the side of a building (making the Joker's reenactment of this little jump scare all the more effective). Fun fact: did you know that if you set your console's clock to October 31st you can trigger another Man-Bat jump scare? Try it out sometime. Like Charles Cyphers' Sheriff Brackett so eloquently put it: it's Halloween, everyone's entitled to one good scare. Or two, in this case.
