All costumes

At the main menu, press Left(2), Down(2), Left(2), Right, Up(2), Down to unlock an option to select any of the bonus costumes. If you entered the code correctly, you will hear a sound when you continue your game.

Alternate ending

The alternate ending requires the bonus "Catwoman" downloadable content. In Catwoman's third mission, when you have the option to go left or right with the "loot", go right to view the alternate ending. You will still be able to go backwards and not ruin anything in the main campaign.

Big head mode

Hold LB + RB and rotate the Right Analog-stick clockwise ten times. Repeat the code to disable its effect.

Cryptographic Sequencer Cipher

If you open up your Cryptographic Sequencer, you can find three broadcasts from a slightly fuzzy and robotic voice saying seemingly random numbers. These numbers are actually a cipher, numeric representations of the alphabet. Two of the broadcasts are garbage, but the third one says: "9 23 9 12 12 18 5 20 21 18 14 2 1 20 13 1 14" which translates to " I WILL RETURN BATMAN".

Easy "Story Teller" achievement

Then, load a saved game file where the story progress is past rescuing Catwoman. Enter the courthouse and talk to Calendar Man in the basement. He will tell you a story about the current month's holiday and tell you to return for the next month. Save the game by leaving the building. Exit to the system settings, then manually change the date to the next holiday. Repeat the process until you have cycled through the entire calendar year. The calendar on the wall next to his cell will highlight the holiday dates for the current year and scribble out which months you have already spoken to Calendar Man about.

Killer Croc reference

After you defeat Ra's al Ghul and are leaving the subway tunnels, instead of going the correct way, backtrack until you find a gate blocking your path. You should see a button on the far wall and a gap in the iron bars. Throw the Batarang through the gap to hit the button. There will be a cutscene with Killer Croc. Note: You cannot reach this area again after this point in the game.

Lost reference

Play the mission where you have to get the cure back from Joker. There is a part where a video plays featuring the Joker ranting about the ending to the show Lost.

New Game Plus mode

Successfully complete the game under the Normal or Hard difficulty setting. This mode allows you to keep your previously earned gadgets and experience points. Also, there will not be any counter icons on thugs, thugs will be more difficult from the start, thugs will have different configurations, and Bosses will be tougher.

Scarecrow Room

On a ship near the complete bridge going between the Industrial District and Amusement Mile, there is a tiny raised area on it. If you stop on this little platform and take out your Cryptographic Sequencer, you will start hacking something. This hack is very tough, but after you get it the trapdoor opens. When you go down you'll see several hundred bugs scurrying around and a dead henchman. If you zoom in on the henchman he will move a little bit. To the right of the henchman is a clipboard with Dr. J Crane's name on it, and an order for several thousand of those bugs.

Taunting

Rotate the Right Analog-stick clockwise repeatedly to perform a taunt. Note: If you execute a taunt before performing a glide kick with Batman or Robin, the view will change to the enemy's perspective.
