Walkthrough

  1. 1 Bruce meets Batgirl + Nightwing on top of Wayne Tower.
  2. 2 Batgirl is tasked with bomb disable; Nightwing + Bruce face Talia.
  3. 3 Talia Phase 1 — fast flier; clear the arena adds first.
  4. 4 Sidestep her straight-line charge.
  5. 5 On her platform-jump tell (yellow surge), jump to avoid the shockwave.
  6. 6 Punish her slow short-range slashes between dives.
  7. 7 Batgirl interlude (with Jim Gordon) — foam-spray the mechanism cogs so the archways stop one at a time.
  8. 8 Avoid the green electrical currents; grapple across to the central control panel.
  9. 9 Hack the control panel to disarm the bomb (3-stage hack minigame).
  10. 10 Return to Bruce — Talia Phase 2 starts with multiple consecutive straight-line charges.
  11. 11 Survive the chained shockwaves; rocket adds spawn in the back lane (clear them).
  12. 12 When Talia glows yellow, attacks deal 0 damage — focus on dodging until her glow drops.
  13. 13 Final blow lands; Talia escapes via portal, Gotham saved.
  14. 14 Ending cutscene plays — credits roll.
