Here is the walktrough of batman vengeance:
EPISODE 01: A Girl to Die For

LEVEL 01 - THE BOMB
Opening sequence: FMV of Gotham Chemical. Brightness mode option
appears before you begin the game. Press triangle or X button to
proceed. Run down the stairs. Run a little past the boxes, turn left
and again, run down the second set of stairs. Jump on top of the boxes
to avoid the steam. Move forward. Jump the gaps in-between. If you
do fall, look for the ladder and climb. Locate the area where the
steel fence is and jump down the opening. Open the door to rescue the
mysterious woman. Run towards the time-bomb and jump down. Follow the
path.

[batmaster]

Part 2:
LEVEL 02 - RANSOM NOTE
After the FMV that follows, you'll discover that the woman you just
salvaged is Mary Flynn. Take the Joker's ransom note

[batmaster]

Part 3:
LEVEL 03 - BATCAVE TRAINING
Enter Batgirl. After some small talk, proceed near the Batmobile area.
Let yourself fall before you reach the walkway leading to it and you'll
find a door. Enter training program with Alfred (a recording,
actually) as your guide. Use the BatGrapple to retrieve BatCuffs and
Batarangs (glide to do so). Practice your strafing skills and target-
practice with the Batarangs. Next, warm-up your fight moves on the
metal post. Once through, enter the next door and use the stealth move
to avoid and turn off the laser. Exit room to take the final challenge
which is the free fall action where you have to snare an object.
Couple of FMVs take place afterwards.

[batmaster]

Part 4:
LEVEL 04 - ROOFTOP BATTLE
Glide to the next building. Proceed to the other side for the grapple
icon. Battle thug. Climb ladder and secure box of BatCuffs. Grapple
your way to the next structure. Knockdown next hoodlum. Glide towards
the other end or you may want to check out what's beneath the grilled
pipes (health box). Simply locate the ladder to get out and move on.
FMV of Mary being chased ensues. Grapple to the next edifice. Fight
off goon. Grapple. Run the walkway and glide to the next. Enter door
and follow toughie. Grapple then, subdue another henchman. Locate
the part of the grills with an opening (to your left from starting
point) to see another grapple icon. Prior to moving forward, you may
choose to make a little stop. Move a bit forward (three short stops)
until you drop on the REAL ledge. Go left and on the next turn, there
is another grapple area. Do so and enter the door to discover cheat A.
Egress via the other door which will lead you to familiar territory
(way to open fence). Grapple to the other scene (boards). Gliding to
your right, you will encounter a criminal. In there, you'll also find
another health kit and a box of Batarangs. To continue chasing the
kidnapper, go to your left (from your point of origin) and glide from
board to board. Upon reaching the corner of the tower, glide on to the
next then, grapple to the one with gargoyle heads. You may opt to
glide to the next gargoyle to avoid wasting your energy on a fight and
having to climb to reach the short distance. Proceed to the other
end of the same skyscraper and use the last gargoyle as your
"springboard" to the next one (with the pyramid shapes on the roof).
Run to the opposite side of the ledge then, slide. Make sure you glide
when you're nearing the gap to make it to the next side. The villain
sidekick will challenge you to a round of fisticuffs. Pick-up the
BatCuffs in the process. Episode ends with Batman providing Mary a
BatCom-link.

[batmaster]

Part 5:
LEVEL 05 - THE BRIDGE
FMV with Batgirl. Pick-up Flash Bombs. Take care of the baddie.
Ascend ladder and retrieve cheat B (glowing item on top of one of the
crates) by creating some leeway then, gliding (tilt slightly to the
left - Batman's vantage of ladder) to one crate and eventually jumping
on to the box where it is situated. With a little patience and
practice, it's possible. Retrace your steps and descend other ladder
or jump down. Disarm and immobilize a couple of bad guys. If you need
to recharge, you'll find a first aid kit near the crane area. Proceed
to the second truck (headlights off) and hug its van to secure the
Batarangs and weave your way into the next area. FMV appears. After
wiping out the anti-hero, check out the back of the crate near the
strewn gas tanks and you'll find some handy BatCuffs. Grapple your way
to the top of the bridge, cross planks, move up ladders and dispose of
crime aids (a pair) you'll meet. There is also a first aid box
somewhere. Enter door and grapple to an area with two antennas and
spotlights. Here, you'll do combat with the Joker (BTW, he's carrying
Toby) swinging on a wrecking ball. Another strength energizer and
Batarangs are available to tide you over. To finish off the Joker,
stay close behind an antennae (first, determine Joker's position).
When an opportunity arises where he hits it (instead of an open area or
worst case, you), bombard him with Batarangs (don't pause) so he won't
get another chance to swing. For his initial defeat, the Joker gets
back at you by dropping Toby. Mary pleads you to save her child from
apparent death. Here's where you get to use your talent in free
falling. Upon catching Toby, you find out that he's nothing more than
a doll - a booby trap set up by Harley - disguised as Mary. The Joker
and Harley have a little squabble over you. You have another
confrontation with the Joker (in spurts), this time hand-to-hand. His
acid trick and other gadgets are small time compared to his hands.
Moreover, watch out for his lock and grip move -- where he keeps on
punching you while pinning you down. Should he succeed in making this
annoying step, quickly move your left analog stick from left to right
(use your all fingers, not just your thumb) to kick him out of your
face. Utilize your power move to get rid of him much faster. He'll
ask Harley for some assistance but, he'll be snubbed because of their
earlier quarrel. Upon hurdling the third round, the Joker makes
another move but, Batman is quick to respond (just stay back and relax,
the computer takes care of this round). It's deja vu afterwards (per
the Joker). The Joker elects to die rather than get caught by pulling
of another old trick (shocking handshake). Batman loses his hold and
the Joker falls to his demise.

[batmaster]

Part 6:
LEVEL 05 - THE BRIDGE 2
Harley is heartbroken at the turn of events and decides to follow the
fate of her beloved "J." Another hangtime for Batman. After pulling
out Quinn from disaster, she walks away and says that her days as a
villain are over.

[batmaster]

Part 7:
EPISODE 02 - In Cold Blood

LEVEL 06 - ISAAC EVERS
FMV of Mr. Freeze who gets upset over the content of a video tape sent
to him. Batman heads to the Gotham Industrial Research via Batwing.
Save the flash frozen guard (you'll hear him moan) by boxing (to save
on Batarangs) the blocks. Chip your way to the next area (a little to
your left after rescuing the first guard) using a few of your jujitsu
moves. Drop down. First, cuff the ice maiden then, rescue the sentry
to avoid unnecessary encounter. To your left, on the same side you
came in, create space anew. Go up the ladder and replenish your
Batarangs. Climb a second set of stairs and work your way through the
next entrance. On the center table is a box of Electric Batarangs. On
your way to the door, you see Mr. Freeze on the video surveillance
camera and a communication involving Batman and Batgirl occurs. Enter
door. Disarm and disable the crime assistant. Free the sentinel.
Straight ahead, you'll find some more BatCuffs. Proceed to the large
(double) door/s (to your left, upon entering). This will lead you to a
room with gigantic test tubes. Battle another one of the Frozen
Madman's henchwomen. Grapple. Glide down to the next glass tube and
knockout cold another bad babe. Cross the bridge to the next tube.
Ascend the ladder and glide to the cylinder opposite it. Move up the
ladder once more. Cross to reach the next point and go up again.
Restore your health if needed. Cross the other side and rescue another
lookout and secure Storage Area Key 1. Glide to the opening. Enter
door.

[batmaster]

Part 8:
LEVEL 06 - ISAAC EVERS 2
Climb the ladder on your left side. Walk near the conveyor and hitch a
ride. Drop down near the boxes, which is a higher portion of the room.
Replace any loss in your strength and grab some Nets (a substitute for
BatCuffs). Move further ahead. Ascend the stairs and free the guard.
Get Storage Area Key 2. Attack a duo of dangerous damsels below.
Proceed to the area behind the computers and rescue another security
person. Get near the chunk of ice blocking the bridge to reach it and
your destination. Upon entering door, a FMV develops. Mr. Freeze
spots you and has his hired help (total of three) kill you. Drop down
and get a box of BatCuffs. Incapacitate the trio first to facilitate
your crime-fighting job. After defeating all three small time
antagonists, the Iceman cometh. Lunge at him and he stops you on your
tracks by freezing your feet firmly on the floor. Squirm to free
yourself from your semi-frozen form. Batman then calls on the Batwing.

[batmaster]

Part 9:
LEVEL 07 - FREEZECOPTER
Simulation has never been mine strong point so, I can't give you much
in here. Simply avoid going head-on with the bridges, concrete trees
and signages (during the tunnel and freeway chases). A few bumps on
the wings won't do much damage. There's really not much need to use
the booster as Mr. Freeze's chopper is rather slow. Nor are you
required to use the spin move at all. Just avoid the ice blockades he
furnishes in-between buildings during the pursuit by firing electrical
spikes. Sometime during the chase, he'll also be releasing some
hovering pests which fire at you. You may use the spikes to rid
yourself of these annoyances. To do damage to the FreezeCopter, gun it
down using the electrical pods. When the crosshair turns red, fire
away. However, you'll have to wait for it to recharge before you can
give it another go (don't worry, charging time is quite short). Watch
the FreezeCopter icon (on the lower-right hand corner of the screen) as
it undergoes several changes: the shield turns crimson then,
disappears. From hereon, it will take just a few more blasts before
you take Mr. Freeze's fly down. Dr. Evers is ejected but, the Bat
comes to his aid. Dr. Evers denies he forwarded the Promethium
publicity tape to Mr. Freeze. During Batman's investigation, he also
caught the good doctor lying -- by saying that his research was being
funded by the Wayne Foundation.

[batmaster]

Part 10:
LEVEL 08 - PROMETHIUM FIRE
Batman back in Gotham Industrial to find more about Dr. Isaac Evers.
Exit WC. Head for the huge door. The door closes behind Batman.
Conversation with Batgirl informs you to unlock the hubs to get to Dr.
Evers files and unlock the door. You have a quarter of an hour to
solve the puzzle. Go straight ahead (grey monitor) to activate the
maze. The main objective here is to connect all the blue wires
together (they'll light up when you make the correct pattern). Sorry,
I can't give you the exact turns that you have to perform. It's more
of a hit-and-miss affair. When you're done with the blue wires, enter
the next room and do the same with the yellow wires. When successful,
proceed to the next chamber and finish the red ones. If you don't have
the patience for this type of puzzle, you may also just while the time
away (you will, however, miss a couple of points). (When the clock
runs out,) (T)here'll be a rocking explosion, afterwards. Batgirl
checks on your situation and informs you that Dr. Evers is "out of the
icebox and into the Arctic (in cold storage, carrying a disk)." To get
to Dr. Evers, glide (towards your right) through the "ice coffins"
(while avoiding the steam from above) to reach the control box at the
other end (left side). This will turn off the electric current thereby
enabling you to wade through the knee-deep water. Next, turn off the
other switch (just beside your starting point) that controls the line
of steam. Enter a couple of doors and get rid of a couple of cool
chicks. Before entering the large door on the far end, you'll find a
strength enhancer on a small opening to your right. Turn left, then
enter next door. Batgirl tells you of her discovery that Dr. Evers
lost support from the Federal Funding brought about by the dangers of
Promethium. On the other hand, Dr. Evers got to continue with his
project following a successful bank heist by the Joker. Logically, the
Clown Prince of Crime is behind the funding of Dr. Evers Promethium
research. Enter door. Go straight ahead and produce an entrance.
Turn right and create another opening. Thaw another female thug.
Climb ladder to get Batarangs. Find another girl gangster near the
next door. Again, get rid of that ice barricade to proceed. Defeat
another pair of dangerous dames. Look for a ladder somewhere ahead
(right side). Trek the other end of the walkway and discover a number
of Bat-treasures: Batarangs (normal and electric types), BatCuffs,
Stunners, Remote Charges, Nets, Strength Potion and Flash bombs abound!
Go down the opening (left side) and encounter two more sensitive
toughies. After knocking down the last one, secure laboratory key.
There's also a box of BatCuffs in this area. Enter the door (lighter
shade) on the right side. FMV where Mr. Freeze surprises Batman as he
picks up the disk left by Dr. Evers. Run around from end to end. Pick
up Remote Charges along the way. Your objective is to target the
moving glass containers on top with the Remote Charges and time the
release so that these fall directly on Mr. Freeze. You have to switch
from first to third person view every so often. This is really
frustrating since you have to press so many buttons in order to sweep
the boss. You need around seven to eleven hits (depending on the
amount of damage) before he burns. Mr. Freeze gets a dose of his own
cold medicine when Batman saves (and traps, at the same time) him.

[batmaster]

Part 11:
EPISODE 03 - Plant Food

LEVEL 09 - SAVING BATGIRL
Somebody provides Ivy with a vial of green chemical. When she tests it
on one of her plants, it turns into a carnivore. Batgirl informs
Batman that the transmitter given to Harley has been tagged on Mayor
Hamilton Hill. Batgirl follows, is caught and calls for back-up. In
this level, you have to constantly keep track of Batgirl's health bar
as well or it's game over. Here's the fastest and most sensible way to
tackle this: Climb ladder, drop down, get Electric Batarangs in
between cars 1 and 2. Ascend ladder and defeat alien thug. Enter door
3, electrify green goon and Exit. Pick up Remote Charges in between
cars. Go up car 4. Nip Poison Ivy's "bud" guy. Move up car 5 and
pluck out weedman. Climb car 6 and enter car 7. There are two vile
henchmen in here. Get Electric Batarangs. Ascend ladder on car 8 and
get rid of plantman. Go up car 9, burn the alien thug and again, move
up car 10. Singe the green goon and grab the Electric Batarangs.
Enter car 11. Scorch the last two botanical bad guys. Pull lever
(which would activate all four electronic switches on the last car)
then, hurry outside. While several more switches can be found inside
the other coaches, they're too far off (eventually, they would bog down
and you can no longer make use of the rest). Enter final destination
and the Dark Knight rescues the damsel in distress. Trench-Coat hies
off as soon as he sees Batman.

[batmaster]

Part 12:
LEVEL 10 - BATMOBILE CHASE
Trench-Coat leaves via a stolen car. Enter Batmobile. This level is
similar to the chopper chase with Mr. Freeze. It's a repetitive one
(about three rounds). Important things to remember are: keep sight of
the getaway vehicle; time your turns; lastly, make sure that you
constantly hit the car (icon should turn red by the second round).
Avoid bumping into traffic (this slows you down considerably) and veer
away from the mines. When you've done enough damage, a FMV takes
place. Batman tells Batgirl to bombard the car with smoke bombs. Make
sure you get this right or you'll have to go through another round of
the chase if you don't hit Trench-Coat's getaway car. The technique is
to keep on firing away (of course, you have to make sure that you're
hitting your target -- just keep moving your analog stick and ensure
that the crosshair/target appears). This should take only a few
seconds then, the next FMV appears with the vehicle careening towards a
cliff and getting ready for...

[batmaster]

Part 13:
LEVEL 11 - THE CRASH
Glide to the crash scene and pick up an apple. FMV at the BatCave
where the duo are stumped (as to Harley's involvement). Batgirl
discovers something in the apple. Something that Mayor Hill may
have..."oh, gross!"

[batmaster]

Part 14:
LEVEL 12 - PLANT ELECTROCUTION
Batman proceeds to Gotham Chemical Plant to check on the poor mayor.
Jump down. Open the door to your right to discover some Electric
Batarangs. Follow the path. Careful now as there are two of Poison
Ivy's minions. Knock them down with the Electric Batarangs. Enter the
opening. Go straight ahead as there are poison-spewing plants on both
sides of the entrance. Turn left to flame another alien thug. Turn
right. Grapple to the other side. Again, follow the path. However,
don't just go running ahead as there are vines that will strangle you.
First, paralyze Poison Ivy's poisonous plant pet (the one on the
ground) with a dose of Batarangs. Hug the wall and proceed. If ever
you're caught by any of the vicious vines, frantically move your left
analog stick left and right. Upon reaching the fungus room, grapple.
Make sure you step away from the yellow slime oozing on the floor (they
sap you of your strength). Quickly glide (left) onto the next couple
of mushrooms before they tilt you back to the ground. On the third
toadstool, glide towards the ledge and grab the health box. Grapple
and glide to the other part of the ledge for extra Batarangs (there's
another set on the corner below, in case you're interested). Grapple
to reach the top of the blocked steel staircase. Climb a few more
steps and enter door to find Trench-Coat sneaking away. Hurl a
Batarang on that single deadly vine below. Go down and grab the Remote
Charges. Go up the ladder on the upper left corner. Enter. Turn
right and slide. Open steel gate.

[batmaster]

Part 15:
LEVEL 12 - PLANT ELECTROCUTION 2
Continue sliding. Avoid the first gap. Allow yourself to fall down
the second cavity. Drop. Get Secret Key 1. Grapple, jump and carry
on. Glide to stay clear of the final crack. Before going straight
ahead, open the door to your left (right after the opening). Defeat
the lone guard to get Cheat C. Exit and electrocute a couple of vines.
Turn right, follow the path and get some Nets. Retrace your steps and
proceed to the tunnel. When you reach the room full of chemical vats,
electrify the vine in front of you. If you need some more Batarangs,
there's a box directly below the plank and one in-between vats 3 and 4.
Glide to the next three ledges to reach the corner. Climb ladder. If
you still have some Electric Batarangs left, life would be much easier
as you can take care of the three thugs at this point. Cross and glide
from point to point (there are three in all). After the second
installment, you may opt to go down straight towards the door or
recuperate if need be (there's a health kit on the other end of the
broken bridge). After going to a series of entrances, you'll come
across a room similar to the one with the vats. Only this time, you
have to glide towards your left side. Subdue a solitary crime
creature. Grab first aid kit. Cross the bridge and come face to face
with Mayor Hill (you might want to go down the stairs first if you're
down on your health bar as there is a first aid box on the opposite
end, hidden between plants). Mayor Hill relates to you that Poison Ivy
put some thing in their (politicians, businessmen) stomachs. She was
blackmailing them for money and power in exchange for plant food that
would sate the hunger of what's inside them -- for if not, they become
them. That's the reason why he met with Trench-Coat -- to make a
payment. Enter Trench-Coat. He removes his disguise. It's a
frustrating battle since he just won't seem to go down even if he's
already out of health. Just keep on punching him near the edge and
watch him drop down the vat. Pick up the sub-basement key he'll leave
behind. Batgirl contacts Batman for a lead. According to her, Harley
admitted putting the trace on Poison Ivy because she was afraid of her
after she turned down Ivy's proposal. She knows too much and shares
her knowledge. She squeals that electricity is the waterloo of Poison
Ivy's creation. Your next mission is to locate and operate the main
power breaker located at the sub-basement.

[batmaster]

Part 16:
LEVEL 12 - PLANT ELECTROCUTION 3
Enter the door which was previously locked. Down the stairs and out
the doors. You interrupt Ivy and Mayor Hill's discussion. You, in
turn, are interrupted by Poison Ivy's Green Monster. To defeat the
hideous creature, keep on bombarding the left and right tentacles with
Batarangs. As soon as it releases its grip, keep on firing away at the
tubes where it hangs on (make sure your crosshair is red) to release
steam. This will prevent it from hooking up anew. Don't worry about
losing ammunition as Batarangs will be available at your disposal.
When you've disabled both sides, focus your attention on the center
tentacle. As soon as it drops in the vat, immediately grapple to the
other side. Take Ivy's threat seriously that you've only made it
stronger (it's going to resurface if it takes you too long to proceed
to the other side). However, hear her carry a different tune as soon
as you get near the breaker. Pull the switch to permanently abort
Poison Ivy's babies. Batman gives Mayor Hill the antidote which Poison
Ivy drops. FMV with Batman telling Batgirl of his conversation with
Harley re Joker's possible comeback (blimps stolen from Gotham Airstrip
by perpetrators in white).

[batmaster]

Part 17:
EPISODE 04 - Fool's Grave

LEVEL 13 - GASWORKS
This level stinks. Anyways, proceed to your right, avoiding the jester
box. Move a bit forward then, turn left. Look for the ladder and
climb. Go right and near the boxes you'll find some BatCuffs and Flash
Bombs (evade the gunfire in the process). Slug it out with the two
thugs (stay away from their bear hugs). On the path to your left is a
strength energizer. Near the boxes where you got your gadgets is a
wheel that will close the pipes. Turn it and enter door. Run down and
glide towards the second steel support as the first one serves as a
trap. Follow this path until you reach the end where the mime man is.
Knock him down and turn the wheel beside the stack of crates. Glide
down (watch out where you land). Careful that you don't step on the
weak floor boards. Behind the covered boxes are a set of Batarangs
(just ignore the jacks-in-the-boxes). Enter the opening where the
fire-breathing clowns roam (where there is a huge crack on the floor).
Enter door and run down the hallway. Before proceeding ahead, disable
the two hoodlums (one each above and below). Go straight, avoiding the
two gaps on the floor. Subdue the first goon. Grapple and do the same
on the toughie here. Glide from rail to rail (note: you'll find some
cuffs on the boxes below and a strength enhancer behind it). Turn the
last wheel (near the crate) after defeating the second villain on the
top level (another note: see the grapple icon near the railing, the
one you can't seem to access from below? Glide from there to see a
sewer passage with a total of nine boxes all lined up. Land on one
crate and jump until you reach the end. Cheat D is definitely here.
Your best bet in nailing this one to the ground is to watch the
movement of the crates. They bobble up and down so, time your jump
when it's in lower position for you to land safe and sound. Sure, the
boxes do break if you don't move fast enough but, believe me, ten
seconds is an eternity here. Going back (from above), glide to the
opening. When you reach the area where there is a grapple icon and a
couple of clowns, it's gliding most of the way. The trick is to stay
as close as possible to the wall and away from the gushing liquid.
Cross the ledge you would chance upon then, glide once more. Before
entering the opening, turn left to replenish your strength bar. Switch
to first person view and get rid of the clown box. Go straight ahead
and exchange blows with the first henchman. Once down, disarm the
other one before gliding or you'll never make it across. Enter door on
your left. Ignore the two mechanical-musical menace as they'll
malfunction the moment they fall down from the platform. Defeat the
villain sidekick and grab the Remote Charges behind one of the posts.
Proceed to the inclined plane and open the door. You discover that the
firebomb toys are being loaded in the sewer pipes which trace to the
entire Gotham system. Fight the baddie inside the room from your
position (you'll be giving him a great advantage if you go inside since
there are three clown boxes that would hound you). When you've floored
him, pull down the lever inside the room to turn the pipes. Exit the
door where you came from for a much easier grapple. Pin down the bad
guy and proceed to the far end and enter another room with a switch.
Exit. Grapple again, this time to the topmost ledge where there is
another mime plus a strength potion. Floor the guy and enter the
switch room (final link that would connect the gas and water lines).
Batgirl will inform you to open the main valve. Go outside and to the
far end of the ledge where there is a Little Johnny Pyro toy. Glide to
the opposite area (or grapple should you drop) where there are three
sets of flywheels. Align the green portion of each wheel to the green
indicator to open the flow of water and rid Gotham of the firebomb
toys. However, you find out that the water valve at the pressure
station has been closed anew. A crime aid barges in the opposite door
and starts shooting. Unarm him before gliding to make sure you don't
fall prey to his bullets. Punch and kick him soon as you reach his
side to push him inside the room and give you space to maneuver. After
putting him to sleep, get the box of Batarangs and move the lever that
will drown the nefarious clown gadgets. You find out the nasty little
secret that Dr. Evers (he's behind the plot to burn down the Gotham
Industrial Plant to serve as an insurance scam) has been keeping all
along. And the twist (the Joker's men he hired for the job turned
their backs on him) that came with it.

[batmaster]

Part 18:
LEVEL 14 - SWAT CHASE
As Batman is all set to deliver Dr. Evers behind Stonegate, he finds
Commissioner Gordon and half the GCPD unit outside. In a wink of an
eye, a Batarang from nowhere knocks down the Commissioner and the
police are after the Dark Knight. He grapples to a helicopter, heads
to the rooftops and calls on Batgirl to deliver the Batmobile. Just
move forward then, grapple. Use Stunners, Nets to hold them or better
yet, simply ignore the SWAT team (they're on the right side of the law,
remember?). Climb the roof of the third room and grab some Nets and a
health box. Grapple. Inside are two more policemen. Disregard. Just
find the ladder, ascend and exit the door. Follow the path until you
reach the helipad. Grab some Flash Bombs and health kit (look at the
corners) then, grapple. Avoid the sentries, move towards the left side
and grab some Stunners. Continue moving forward until you see a
grapple icon. Avoid one sentinel and grab Stunners in the center part
of the area. Move forward (VROOM billboard) until you reach the edge.
Glide towards the lowest room (left side) and move your way up. When
you've reached the top, glide to the next building. Go up ladders.
Get Batarang near the antennae. Drop to your left and find some
Stunners and Electric Batarangs. Glide to the next edifice. Stay away
from the two guards manning the area. Look for the door with a red
light on top (just straight ahead). Beside it is a control panel.
Throw a Batarang to activate the door. A box of Electric Batarangs
await. Exit the next door. The police helicopter starts firing stun
as you cross the connecting bridge. Batman gets impatient and calls
Batgirl. Exit and look for the grapple section. Before doing so, you
might want to grab some Nets on top of a box near the drums. Go
straight ahead then, turn right while avoiding the steam. In front of
you is a structure with a flagpole bearing what resembles a shrimp and
what seems like a greenhouse on top. You need to be on that tower. To
get there, jump on the steam box to reach the upper box with the lamp
on it. By the way, in case you're low on health, there is a first aid
kit on the next turn, some distance from the water tank. Glide towards
the ledge of the next building. Hug the wall and use the catwalk to
reach the terrace. Towards the middle (in-between the two trees),
jump, look for the fence break and glide. Drop down the elevator
shaft. When you reach the bottom floor, get off and take the
Batarangs. As soon as the elevator goes up, descend and disable to
controls to open the elevator door. When done, climb the stairs then,
glide to get inside. Pick up Secret Key 2. Wait for the elevator
shaft and ride it on your way up. Make sure you get off before the
platform kisses the ceiling (count four ledges then, jump). Get the
Elevator Shaft Key. Continue moving forward to find a room where Cheat
E can be found. Leave room. Proceed inside the tunnel and ascend the
ladder. To your right is a first aid box. You may choose to exit from
either doors. Locate the ladder (look out for the guard) and go up.
Turn right and follow the entire length of the ledge. When you reach a
cul-de-sac, there's a strength energizer and a grapple point. Move
forward and glide from building to building while avoiding the
authorities. When you've reached the second edifice (it has a box of
Stunners) from your where you last grappled, proceed to the rightmost
side (you'll find a box of Batarangs on one corner). Glide to the
neighboring structure and climb a series of ladders. When you've
reached the last one you'll find another electric door. Again, destroy
the control panel to activate. Exit other end and go straight. Enter
machine room and exit using the other door. Batman contacts Batgirl
anew and is told that she's closing in. The chopper catches up with
Batman. Pick up the Remote Charges scattered all over and hit the
fly's lights with it. Hit it thrice and they start firing rockets
instead of stun ray. Hit it two more times and down she goes.
Finally, Batgirl arrives. Back at the BatCave, Batman deduces that
Harley is the missing link to the circumstances that are certainly not
coincidental (stolen blimp, the gasworks, being framed with Dr. Evers
and Promethium in the middle). He decides to give her a little
visit...in disguise (since he's on the most wanted list by the men in
blue).

Part 19:
LEVEL 15 - BREAK-IN
Nothing special about his camouflage. It's merely a bearded version of
Bruce Wayne with a scar on the right eye.
Go to your right all the way to the second to the last trailer
(avoiding the searchlight, of course) and discover a clown sculpture
covering its eyes with the number one its lower portion. Return to
your starting point and move past the crates. To your left is a door.
Open and see another clown statue, this time covering its ears and a
number 6 engraved on it. Egress. Right beside the room is a trailer
and a whole lot of boxes. Jump (yes, it's possible but, very close to
impossible -- considering that you can easily jump on the boxes inside
the factory which are of the same height!) until you get to the roof.
Use your scope to see the last clown bust (holding its mouth and a
prominent nine on it). Get the Flash Bombs as a bonus. Next, go
forward and look for the door with the combination lock beside it (to
your right). If you're having difficulty reaching the roof, you can
actually view the clown carving by jumping on top of the garbage cans
and using your scope from there (you will miss the points, tho).
Operate the lock. Using the clues you gathered (eyes 1, ears 6 and
mouth 9), turn the dials appropriately. This unlocks the door. Enter
Funnibone Warehouse.

Part 20:

LEVEL 16 - FUNNIBONES
To reiterate, funny indeed, how you can climb the crates here a lot
easier compared to the ones outside (pretty stupid, really). Anyways,
proceed to your right until you reach a dead end. Climb one of the
crates. Go to the one next to it (leaning on the wall). Jump to reach
the one in front of you. Proceed to the box slightly on your left.
Jump to reach the next one. Step on the light colored crate. Jump on
the lower box to your left. Drop and reach for that last crate that
will lead you out of this labyrinth. Drop again then, climb the stairs
immediately. Don't go roaming around anymore on the lower floor or
you'll just wake up the jacks-in-the-boxes where they'll follow you all
the way to the top level. Go to your left and climb the crates to
secure some BatCuffs. Battle the two goons (one in black, another in
white). Hidden somewhere on the pile of crates to your right is a
strength enhancer. Continue climbing the crates to your left until you
get to a ladder. Climb. Enter door and grab another set of BatCuffs.
Vanquish another underling roaming along the corridors. Advance to the
far end (with a smiling clown portrait) and turn on the control to open
the middle door (which will be indicated by a green bulb). Bear in
mind that every time you turn on a switch, you hustle since these are
time-locks (you have about 10 seconds to reach your other point or it
closes anew). Put one more lackey on his knees then get the Flash Bomb
and turn on the switch situated on the far right side of the room.
Exit. The door to your right is now activated (beside the smiling
clown). Enter and finish off another worthless foe. Pull the lever
and go outside. Run near the end of the hallway (close to where you
first entered) and turn on the control (now operational). Go back to
the last room you entered and use the other door. Crush another
character in the dressing room. Open the cabinet and get "Toby's"
penknife (FMV flashback) -- a clear indication that the Joker is alive
and well to wreak carnage and havoc.

[batmaster]

Part 21:
EPISODE 05 - Infernal Jest

LEVEL 17 - LAUGHING GAS INFERNO
The Joker's blimp is over at the gasworks. "His death has been a part
of something bigger" and the Bat intends to find out what the nitty-
gritty details are all about. Follow the path. Grab the Flash Bombs
and enter the chicken-wire gate. Before heading for the smoking door
pick up the BatCuffs. Kaboom! The Joker has resurrected from the
grave. The "joke": Joker's not dead and Gotham is. The "punchline":
it's all Batman's fault when he was led into opening the pipes that
would burn the whole city of Gotham to the ground! Even Poison Ivy
played her part, albeit unknowingly, as the "wenchtable" became the
quietest way to mass produce the Joker toxins. It's all "flames and
giggles (to quote the Joker)" now unless the pipes are reversed...
Run away from the crooked hunks. Throw them some Batarangs so they'd
put down their flamethrowers ASAP. Now, all's fair. Watch out since
these guys have higher AI. Always be on the defensive. After singing
them a lullaby, Batman seeks Batgirl's advice on how to close the
pipes. Enter the flaming door -- carefully. You wouldn't want to miss
the health potion on Batman's right corner. Drop down. Avoid the
flames. Snub the three stooges that would charge at you and head
straight for the opening (slightly left of center). Follow the path
and enter the coop-wire entrance. You meet with the Joker. Sorry, you
can't get through this way with another boss, "Fatty (the rocket thug)"
blocking your path, literally. Go back (exit gate) and enter the door
to your left side. There's another thorn blocking the door to the
valves. Run past this bozo, grab the health box and enter. This is
similar to the green to green (activate) puzzle only now, it's red on
red (deactivate). Exit the opposite door. Climb the ladder. Be
astute and conserve your energy for the battle with Fatty instead of
the two meanies blocking your path. Joker's all red after your stunt
and decides to escape. He lets his assistants keep you company while
he makes his getaway. Run around and regularly grab the Batarangs
available to you. First, disable Fatty's rocket launchers. Target
those which are ready to fire (red light). Make sure you keep a safe
distance since he utilizes flame throwers when you get near him. Also,
avoid his depth charges, those explosives that project instead of going
directly at you. One last thing, he also fires heat seekers whenever
you get him. The best way to avoid this would be to stay behind the
concrete posts and strafe to lock your target. Of course, when they
have already been fired, you need to outrun them. Hit him four times
and he's down for the count. He bumps the towering pedestal where
Harley is, knocks her down and then, crushes her with his entire weight
(sweet retribution!). To use an age old aphorism, it's like hitting
two birds with one stone!

[batmaster]

Part 22:
LEVEL 18 - THE JOKER'S BLIMP
Batman manages to catch up with the Joker's blimp. Avoid the lasers at
all costs. Stay away from the gaping holes as well. Go to your left
and jump on the box. Glide to the switch in front of you (this weakens
the laser position of the switch near the ladder). Return to the
crate. Move towards the center steel post. Proceed to the switch
slightly behind the crate (this turns off the laser roaming around the
other panel). Go to the third switch well beyond your starting point
(to your right) and deactivate. Proceed to the ladder. Ah, the much
awaited battle with the Joker. Watch out for his gunfire and do watch
your back, at least until after you have decapitated five jacks-in-the-
boxes. They go scot-free from their hiding place every time the
Joker's bullets hit the crates. Now, you're ready. Strafe and look
for a suitable position (try one step away from where the Batarangs
near the door appear) where your crossfire turns red. When it does,
maintain this position as you keep on throwing Batarangs at Joker (wait
for the gunfire to subside before doing so). As soon as you catch a
glimpse of him dropping his weapon, charge! Do not hesitate or he'll
get the opportunity to pick up his tommy gun and start his trigger
happy ways again. The thing to avoid is his grip. The style is to
keep on moving. When he squirts you with acid, go near him and knock
him with a power move. Three advanced moves on him and he'll be
counting stars. Take the Blimp Cockpit Key. Jump on the platform near
the entrance of the pilot room and go inside. Proceed to the control
area. Defuse the bomb by mixing the gases to produce Purple (Blue and
Red) and Green (Blue and Yellow), the Joker's color motif. First
select then, inject the right colors. After combining the first two
colors, mix tube to begin with the next phase. Again, select and
inject and everything will fall into place. The Joker, however, wants
to have the last laugh so he chooses to commit suicide (again) by
jumping off the blimp. But, not without bringing his machine gun along
(as an insurance). As expected, Batman wants him in Arkham Asylum,
instead of being six feet under the ground.

[batmaster]

Part 23:
LEVEL 19 - FREE FALL
Tip: you might want to try inverting your crosshair. It works well
for me.
Stay clear of the bursting balloons the Joker hurls at you. They
certainly pack a wallop. Just keep on moving in circles. Adjust your
speed as necessary. Watch out for his gunfire as well every time you
get near. Snare him and it's game over!
The camera dollies to the special cells of the villains in Arkham
Asylum: Mr. Freeze shoos; Poison Ivy blows a kiss; Harley Quinn
watches nonchalantly and the Joker laughing hysterically as the camera
focuses on what appears to be a plush Batman doll hanging on a noose.
Next, FMV takes place where Commissioner Gordon calls Batman via the
BatSignal and apologizes for the earlier blunder. It was Harley all
along that threw the Batarang at him. And like a thief in the night,
the Dark Knight disappears without a trace...
Cinematic of the classic Batman pose.

THE END.

[batmaster]

Part 24:
ABOUT THE GAME

The game has five episodes (and 19 levels) in all which complete the
storyline.
It all starts when Batman rescues a mysterious woman harassed by the
Joker...
Enter Harley Quinn. Mr. Freeze. Poison Ivy. Suddenly, the Dark
Knight finds himself entangled in a web (pun, intended) of "one twisted
joke..."

The breathtaking cinematics are wonderfully rendered. The fight
sequences are well choreographed. The sound department also deserves a
star, especially the voice characterizations. But, that's about it.
Maybe it's just me and mine high expectations of the game but, this
really falls short (like the Penguin) and flat on its (two-)face. In
reality, it is a "simple" (which should good, for as they say, "In
simplicity there is truth -- and beauty.") game. Thing is, there are
tons of them that in effect (to describe) it has turned into (well, to
play with words) a simpleton. Got it? Haha.
Let's delve deeper into the cave and dissect to see why it's a
(cat)astrophe...
The controls, ironically, are hard to control brought about by the
camera problems (I mean, why reset?) and the very unfriendly
environment (you are supposed to be able to do things consistently on a
similar situation, right?). It's hard to describe/explain. Besides, I
don't want to take up too much space on comparison. I'm sure you'll
get the drift when you play the game.
The surroundings are so broad in scope that you'd most likely get lost
(why simplify then, mislead?). A BatCompass (ooops) would have helped...
Sure, Batman is supposed to have a dark cinematography but, why make
the ladders almost invisible (does the "do-gooder [have to be] as blind
as [his] namesake?")? And puhleeze, don't give me the excuse that you
can adjust the game's brightness anyway. Duh...
Then, there's the (R)iddle(r) of continuity. In between loading time,
the episode titles have the tendency to switch back to the earlier
ones. I did notice that a particular title is related to a specific
villain (A Girl to Die For refers to Harley Quinn, for example) but,
'just can't see the logic why it has to be shown again and again. It
surely got me confused.
Another limitation is the incompatibility of check and save points.
Scenario: you've gone a long way. You decide to give yourself a long
break. Disappointment sets in as soon as you get back to your game.
Heck, you relied too much on that auto save...
Lastly, minor bugs include: baddies that defy the law of gravity, the
alto voices of the ice maidens (shudder) and the semi-functional
invisibility mode (nudge 'em and what follows next is quite vexing).
Don't get me wrong. I love a great challenge. In this instance,
though, I found mineself asking why I didn't heed that tingling
sensation upon seeing that 7.4 on the meter...
Then again...

Part 28:
CHEATS

Finishing the game was mine primary objective so, I missed out on most
of the hidden envelopes that contain cheats the first time out (I only
got Cheat E, initially). Wasn't really too keen on getting them until
I read their advantages ('m that type of gamer who gets into the action
right away and learns the ropes during play). Just a note on the
cheats: it's not the letter that counts, it's the sequence (got
Envelope E but got the full ammo cheat instead of invisibility)!
Here's a quick run-through on their respective descriptions (from the
game manual) and locations:

CHEAT A - refills all gadgets to full (refer to ROOFTOP BATTLE level)

CHEAT B - allows player to immediately max up the charge bar for power
moves (refer to THE BRIDGE level)

CHEAT C - refills all of Batman's health (refer to PLANT ELECTROCUTION
2 level)

CHEAT D - makes Batman do double damage to his opponents, except the
bosses (refer to GASWORKS level)

CHEAT E - renders Batman invisible to all his opponents, except the
bosses (refer to SWAT CHASE level)

***SPOILER: Having a hard time collecting points? During the title
screen (after the PRESS START screen), key in the following button
sequence: L1, L1, R2, R2, L2, R2, L1, R2. You'll hear an
acknowledgment tune confirming the correctness of the code. Enter game
and voila, you'll now be able to perform the "lights out" power move.
Now, this would really look good if you obtain all the envelopes in
your pocket -- it wouldn't seem like you didn't play by the rules...***

The really, really, really, really the end!

Do you have enjoyed my walktrough, like coments!

[BruceBatman]

Great walkthrough! I love it! If I need any more help, I will definately come here!

[BruceBatman]

Yes! I finally finished this game!
Thanks for the help!

Oh, and whoever's looking here, please look at my topic "Help!" (also in Bat-Gaming Heaven board.
