Below you will find Batman: Arkham City cheats. Cheats typically create an advantage beyond normal gameplay, usually to make the game easier.
Batman: Arkham City Unlockables/Cheats
All skins
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 skins. If you do it correctly, you will hear a sound when you continue your game.
Big head mode
Pull out the Cryptographic Sequencer, then hold LB + RB and rotate the Right Analog-stick clockwise ten times to make Batman's head and all enemy heads larger. Repeat the code to disable its effect.
New Game Plus mode
Successfully finish the game on the Normal or Hard difficulty to unlock New Game Plus mode. In this mode, you retain your previously earned gadgets and experience points. Additionally, there will not be any counter icons on thugs, and thugs will have different configurations. Expect thugs and Bosses to be more difficult.
Taunting
Rotate the Right Analog-stick clockwise repeatedly to perform a taunt. Note: If you perform a taunt before executing a glide kick using Batman or Robin, the view will change to the enemy's perspective.
Alternate ending
Note: 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 without ruining anything in the main campaign.
Easy Augmented Reality Challenge
One of the last four Augmented Reality Challenges is quite difficult since you are required to execute a U-turn during your dive bomb. To make things easier, use the grapple boost to go past the first checkpoint, then turn around while gliding. You can then glide through all the checkpoints much easier.
Harley Quinn pregnancy
Enter the manager's office inside the Steel Mill. On the floor, next to the Harley Quinn costume, you will find a positive pregnancy test.
Killer Croc reference
After you defeat Ra's al Ghul, before you leave the subway tunnels, instead of taking the right path, backtrack until you find a gate blocking your path. There is 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 ge to this area again after this point in the game.
Lost reference
During the second visit to the Steelmill, you will see The Joker on the large TV. He will start talking about TV shows, and say "How come it all ended in a church," which is a reference to the TV show, Lost.
Scarecrow reference
Note: To access this secret room, you must have the upgraded Cryptographic Sequencer with the "TYGER" codes installed. Just north of the Industrial District in the Harbord, glide onto the Falcone boat west of the two cranes hanging over the water -- where you perform the first set of Augmented Reality challenges. Use the Cryptographic Sequencer to hack the door on the boat. Enter the password "CityofTerror" to open the hatch on the boat. Inside, there is a dead inmate and some containers with cockroaches on them. There is also a shipping invoice for Dr. J. Crane (Scarecrow's real name), hinting that Scarecrow did survive the Killer Croc encounter.
Easy "Bargaining Chip" achievement
Towards the end of the game, you will get the "Heart Of Ice" side mission from Mr. Freeze. You are required to find Nora Fries to complete the quest. Go to the Industrial District in the south-eastern part of Arkham City. You will see a marked area of Nora's estimated location. There is a well-guarded building with a locked front door. From the front of this building, fly north, and land on the ship. Use the Freeze Blast on the water to create a sheet of ice. Use the Batclaw to navigate to the destroyable wall, and use the Explosive Gel to get inside the building. Defeat the guards, and return to Mr. Freeze to get the "Bargaining Chip" achievement.
Easy "Catch" achievement
You must throw a remote controlled Batarang at the Mystery Watcher to get the "Catch" achievement. After you rescue Catwoman in the courthouse, you should be able to see the Mystery Watcher across the street, on top of the building to your right, once you step outside. Simply throw the remote controlled Batarang at him, and he will automatically catch it, and you will get the "Catch" achievement. Note: You cannot get the "Catch" achievement after completing the Mystery Watcher side quest.
Easy "Pay Your Respects" achievement
To find Crime Alley, go south from the Church. The alley is behind the Monarch Theater, just below the letters "Restricted Area" on your map. In the alley, find a lit section of concrete where two fresh chalk outlines have been drawn. There are flowers placed on the ground, with a note from Hugo Strange, and a tape. Stand near the red rose, and interact to kneel at the site of Batman's parents' murder and get the "Pay Your Respects" achievement. You can also take the tape left by Hugo Strange.
