More than rhythmic freeflow combat and cape-gliding traversal, the Arkham series of Batman games has always had an inspired suite of gadgets at its core. Besides Batman: Arkham Shadow, every Arkham game has taken place over the course of a single night and thus necessitated the use of a tighter inventory or improvisational tools as Batman is faced with unique obstacles. Still, gadgets such as the Batclaw, Cryptographic Sequencer, Explosive Gel, and Batarangs are mainstays that Batman always has equipped in his utility belt by the end of each game.
