Batman: Arkham Asylum

Violence If you're a Batman fan, you know that his refusal to kill anyone is an integral part of his character. Of course, that is also the case in Batman: Akham Asylum. However, it never stops him from beating the stuffing out of the bad guys. This often includes breaking their arms (complete with crunching sound effects) and inflicting other traumatic but nonlethal injuries. Of course his enemies don't extend the same courtesy to Batman, and it is possible for the hero to die in some rather gruesome ways. That said, it's never very graphic.

Scary Imagery Some of the villains and environments are a bit frightening.

Sex & Nudity There is no nudity, but there are some scantily clad women. Harley Quinn, who appears in all the games, wears skin-tight clothes and shows off her cleavage. Poison Ivy appears in Arkham Asylum, and her outfit is similarly revealing.

There is some flirtatiousness from some of the female villains, but nothing too suggestive.

Strong Language The villains sometimes use tame swear words.

Substance Use There are alcohol and tobacco references. One main plot point

Discrimination Two female characters, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, are featured in the game, both as antagonists. Otherwise, as is consistent with the comic books, the game lacks diversity in gender, race, and sexual orientation.
