Hint: The Final Chronicle of Arkham Riddle

After you've snapped a shot of 23 of the 24 of the Chronicle of Arkham markers, you'll need to track down the final marker. The key to solving the mystery of Arkham is the Warden, whom you last saw in the Security Control Room. Head to this room in the Penitentiary and enter the small central office area. Look on the floor for a circle of scribbles and etchings that say "BATMAN." Enter Detective Mode and take an Environmental scan of this to complete the final Chronicle of Arkham Riddle.

Hint: Action Camera

When equipped with the Batarang, Batclaw, or Multibatarang you can activate a cool behind-the-projectile camera by aiming with LEFT TRIGGER and firing with RIGHT BUMPER.

Hint: High Combo Hint

When you fight a Titan henchman and a group of normal henchmen, stun a Titan, jump on his back and used him to hit the normal baddies. Your combo total goes up even you didn't hit anything!

Hint: Catch! Achievement / Trophy

You'll need to catch your own Batarang for the Catch! Achievement. To do so, head outside of a building and, with the Remote Controlled Batarang upgrade, toss your Batarang, Control it so it returns to Batman in a wide arch to satisfy the Trophy / Achievement requirement.
Hint: Freeflow Perfection Achievement / Trophy

Before attempting this Achievement / Trophy you should have Batman fully upgraded with all combo-based upgrades etc. You can do this fairly easily in the later rounds of the first Challenge, Intensive Treatment. You'll need to perform the following moves in a single combo (don't get hit, or blocked or let the combo counter run out) to get the Achievement / Trophy. NOTE: You can Evade as many times as you want to keep your combo going!
Punch
Stun
Evade
Counter
Throw
Instant Takedown
Ground Takedown

After using the first few moves listed above plus a couple of Punches to get your combo meter above 5x, you can perform a Throw. Don't let him hit anyone else or you may leave yourself without any opponents to continue the combo.

Punch a bit more and Evade as needed, then use the Instant Takedown when its available. Before using a Ground Takedown to complete this combo, use some Batarangs to stun anyone else nearby -- if it's all clear, go for the Ground Takedown to complete the "perfect" combo!

Begin with the Batclaw and follow it with a Batarang -- these may not be necessary but you may as well throw them in since they won't hinder you at all. After using the first few moves listed after those, plus a couple of Punches to get your combo meter above 5x, you can perform a Throw. Don't let him hit anyone else or you may leave yourself without any opponents to continue the combo.

Easter Egg: The Missing Cadaver

After solving the Ra's Al Ghul riddle in Dr. Young's Office (scan the toe tag of the cadaver hanging out of the morgue wall), return much later (after finishing the game, for instance) and the cadaver will be missing... Most curious!

Easter Egg: Scarecrow's Aptly Named Doctors

The first Scarecrow Interview Tape features the names "Dr. Murphy" and "Dr. Combs." This could very well be a reference to Cillian Murphy, the actor who played Scarecrow in Batman Begins and Jeffrey Combs who played the character in The New Batman Advetnures.

Easter Egg: Alternate Endings

After you beat the game and the credits come to an end, you'll be treated to one of three ending movies. They seem to be random and not based on completion percentage. Here are the three endings:
Bane's arm rises out of the water and grabs a container of Titan formula
Killer Croc's arm rises out of the water and grabs a container of Titan formula
Scarecrow's arm rises out of the water and grabs a container of Titan formula

Easter Egg: Paging Dr. Clooney...

After you rescue Cash and an orderly from the Joker's laughing gas, stand in the main room looking at the smaller room where they were trapped. A ticker scrolls a garbled message:

"Dr. Clooney report to Gynecology." No doubt a nod to ladykiller and former Batman, George Clooney.
