=== Overview ===
* In every game, there are an undetermined amount of people who have died, whether by a super-criminal or other common thugs.
* In every game, some characters have non-canonical death scenes that result in game overs. Their deaths are avoided canonically.
=== Arkham Asylum ===
* Strange enough, although the Joker simply kicked the unnamed doctor in the face, which seems non-lethal, it seems as though he was killed. Whether this is an oversight or not remains unknown.
=== Arkham City ===
* Interestingly enough, if Catwoman leaves Batman to die by leaving Arkham City, it does not result in a game over but rather, a "secret" ending in which Gotham has been taken over by Joker's forces, Batman and Gordon are dead, and the Joker has won, all broadcasted by Oracle, who was likely found and killed soon after. However, this is shown to be reversed by a video-tape rewinding, with the Joker saying "thank you for the entertainment, Bats" if footage is slowed down.
* Oddly enough, although Clayface was presumed to have been destroyed in the Lazarus Pit destruction in the ending, it turns out that he still lives on in dry mud, but is unable to take form again due to traces of Lazarus mixed in with the mud, ensuring that he cannot die, nor take form again.
