Batman: Arkham City (2011)

Batman: Arkham City is the sequel to the award-winning Batman: Arkham Asylum. The game takes place one year after the prequel. The story concerns a derelict area of Gotham City, Arkham City, which has been turned into a massive prison for criminals and psychopaths, with security provided by a PMC called TYGER. When a speech by Bruce Wayne regarding closing Arkham City ends in his capture by the mysterious Hugo Strange, he, as Batman, must discover what Hugo's plans are and end them.

The game features new gadgets, Catwoman as a playable character, more challenging puzzles and additional optional missions. Mark Hamill returns as the voice of Joker in this sequel.

The following weapons can be seen in the video game Batman: Arkham City:


Unknown pistol 1

Two-Face uses two unknown handguns described in-game as .45s when he is first seen in the courthouse.

Among others, Batman's shout of "Objection!" has Two-Face assume his best Phoenix Wright pose and "overrule" the vigilante with his handgun.

Somehow it surprises Catwoman that Two-Face has two of something.

Two-Face's pistols are also seen on the wall in the GCPD building.

A second pistol is seen in silhouette on posters near the central "Restricted Area" of Arkham City.

Unknown rifle

Unknown AR15-pattern rifles are used by criminals and police. These weapons are incorrectly shown with the right side the same as the left, meaning they have no ejection port or forward assist.

Heckler & Koch G36KV

While the rifle model in the game has changed, the icon shown in Detective Vision mode when looking at enemies armed with rifles is still the Heckler & Koch G36KV from the first game.

IMI Tavor TAR-21

Snipers in the game use a modified TAR-21 rifle with a massive, silly barrel extension which apparently turns it into a .50 calibre rifle without changing the 5.56mm magazine. This is an improvement on the preview screenshots, however, which had Batman's "Detective Vision" identify it as a "120mm sniper."

The first sight of the Tavor-sniper-thing in the game is through the rifle's scope, an SVD-style reticle minus the stadiametric rangefinder and numbers. The green dot, as it turns out, is actually a laser sight...

...a smiley face laser sight, in fact. While putting a laser aiming module on a sniper rifle (or an assault rifle that thinks it's one) is generally a terrible idea, this is Joker we're talking about.

Batman uses his suit's Detective Mode, which apparently includes a portable ballistics lab, to scan the bullet hole. The text in these scene read "120mm sniper" in preview screenshots.

Seemingly Gotham City itself is rather less bothered by ballistics since bullets travel in perfectly straight lines there.

Finally locating the "sniper rifle," Batman discovers this makeshift remote control rig attached to it.

Steyr AUG

A Steyr AUG is shown on posters throughout Arkham City in the hands of a PMC soldier. It is shown with an extended barrel and incorrectly has a magazine added forward of the grip and a handguard added to the barrel.
