Big Head Mode

Use the Cryptographic Sequencer, hold down all shoulder buttons (don't let go), rotate the left stick counter-clockwise and the right stick clockwise. After a few seconds the mode will activate.

This can be activated at anytime during gameplay "without" the Cryptographic Sequencer as long as you complete the game on Normal. It can be activated in Riddler's Revenge as well and New Game Plus at anytime.

Alternate Ending

In order to unlock the alternate ending, you must have the Catwoman DLC. In her third mission when you have the option to go left or right with the "loot," head right for the alternate ending. Don't worry; you'll be able to "rewind" back and not ruin anything in the main game.

You can watch it here if you wish (SPOILERS!)!

Holiday Greetings from Calendar Man.

In Two Face's courthouse, if you enter through the back door and go downstairs, Calendar Man is locked in a cell, and you can interact with him like many other villains locked up across the city. But with one difference. If your system clock is set to a holiday, Calendar Man will have a speech about that holiday when you interact with him. To see all the dates he has speeches for, simply look to the right of his cell. Against the wall is a calendar with all of the dates circled in red.

Hidden Cryptographic Sequencer Message

If you use the cryptographic sequencer and tune in anywhere in the general range of 700.00/500.00, you will hear a disembodied voice repeating a sequence of numbers over and over. Every time the sequence ends a tone chimes, and then the number sequence starts over again. The numbers are 9 23 9 12 12 18 5 20 21 18 14 2 1 20 13 1 14. If you assign a letter to each number (A=1 B=2 C=3 etc.), the message translates to "I WILL RETURN BATMAN."

On station 500.00/900.00 you get a different numeric string:

5 15 9 7 21 18 18 14 3 5 24 15 12 7 22 3 10 5 15 9 22 3 8 25 26 15 16 25 10 15 17 25 *music chime* repeats. This can be decoded as "YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME."

Reference to Batman: Arkham City in Arkham Asylum

In the Warden's Office, head back to the room with the Warden's portrait on the far wall. Turn left as soon as you enter the doorway and approach the wooden wall. You can destroy this with Explosive Gel. It may take a bit of trial and error, but one panel can be blown away. Beyond this is an unmarked room with a blueprint on the wall. It shows plans for the relocation or expansion of Arkham to Gotham City. This is a nod to the setting of Batman: Arkham City. For video and images of this Easter Egg, check out IGN's article, Warden Sharp's Plans For Arkham City.
