Batman Arkham: 10 Boss Fights That Blew Us Away

The Mr. Freeze boss battle in Arkham City is one of the most iconic boss battles of all time, not just in the game or the series. It was seen as revolutionary at the time for good reason. Fighting Freeze is an ingenious and unique boss battle with a concept that unmatched in how well gameplay aligns with the narrative.

There are many fights in the series that pit brawn against brawn, or brains against brawn. This fight is one of the only one that is exclusively brains against brain. This is good, because Mr. Freeze is a highly intelligent man and his mind is the key mechanic this fight is designed around.

Freeze is far too capable and brilliant to allow Batman to defeat him by simply repeating the same handful of techniques over and over again. He learns from what you throw at him, he adapts, and he doesn't allow you to throw it at him again.

This fight forces players out of their comfort zones. No longer are they able to get by with using the few tactics they've become comfortable with in their hours with the game. They'll have to use every tool at their disposal.
