so i just finished beating the new batman game on hard, and the only tough parts, after beating it on normal, were the poison ivy and joker battles. i had to do those several times. other than that, it wasn't too tough. i actually found some parts easier to do, considering playing through on normal helped. the one downside i found was that the controls didn't always do what you did. like i went to go take someone out on the ground during the joker battle, and for some reason the grapple went on the joker and i was like WTF and died. i was angry cause i was at the last round with only like one guy left, little health, and died with a cheesy hit. but overall, the controls didn't do like you told them, but was great otherwise.
