HIGH Watching what looks like a separately animated scene reveal itself as part of a level.
LOW Episodes that hang around long after they've stopped being interesting.

HIGH The Scarecrow encounters.
LOW The omnipresent hint system that can't be turned off.
WTF Poison Ivy over Mr. Freeze? Seriously?
