Over the last weekend I picked up the newest Batman video game and have been quite surprised how good it is. The gameplay is both parts action and detective. A good balance that really showcases what Batman is all about. Batman is able to glide from heights using his cape, and use his grappling hook to ascend short heights or escape and hide from foes on gargoyle statues. In order to track The Joker and other archenemies, the player can switch in and out of "detective mode" which activates special visors in Batman's cowl. In this mode, most of the game world is rendered in darker colors, but objects of interests and people are highlighted, including limited x-ray ability to detect the location of people. Special objects that Batman can interact either directly or with a number of gadgets that are gained over the course of the game are also highlighted. The detective mode will automatically be switched to special scanning modes to track the presence of compounds, fingerprints, and other unique data, which are used to direct the player to the next location to explore. 

Oh, and the pug with the bat-mask is NOT from the game. I just like the image!
