To stick it to the stickman unlock batman, destroy every red cardboard CEO poster around the city, then interact with the walkie-talkie marker and clear its combat challenge. Batman becomes available in Night Shift as the Dark Knight. If the walkie-talkie does not appear, at least one red cardboard poster is still intact.
Unlock Steps
- Break every red cardboard CEO cutout in the city.
- Check the bridge carefully for a late-route poster.
- Follow the walkie-talkie icon after the final poster is destroyed.
- Interact with the walkie-talkie marker.
- Defeat every enemy in the challenge.
- Open Night Shift and select the Dark Knight.
The sequence is more of a map challenge than a combat test. Do not continue roaming once the walkie-talkie appears; use it to start the final requirement.

Poster Search Route
Use a city loop instead of searching at random:
- Start in the upper-right city area.
- Circle the trees, where cutouts can blend into foliage.
- Search around the hospital and nearby paths.
- Check gated routes and use a car when possible.
- Finish with a full search of the bridge.
Red cardboard CEO posters can hide behind trees, buildings, fences, scenery, or the camera angle. Approach suspicious areas from multiple angles before moving on.
| Area | What to check |
|---|---|
| Upper-right city | Red cutout near the map edge |
| Trees | Posters partly hidden by foliage |
| Hospital | Both sides of structures and paths |
| Gated routes | Areas easier to access by car |
| Bridge | A key late-route poster location |
Fix Missing Walkie-Talkie
If no walkie-talkie marker appears, retrace the complete route. The usual problem is one missed cardboard CEO cutout, especially near scenery or on the bridge.
Do not confuse these targets with regular enemies or ordinary props. The full set must be destroyed before the sequence advances.

Challenge and Character Select
The walkie-talkie starts a short fight against a small group of opponents. Defeat the assigned enemies normally; no particular weapon, combo, or score is required.
After clearing the encounter, go to Night Shift. Batman appears in character selection under the Dark Knight identity. If he is missing elsewhere, switch modes before assuming the unlock failed.
Batman Moves and Upgrades
Batman begins with a normal kick, but his strongest options support aggressive movement and combo play:
- Vengeance: Leaps toward a target, closes distance, and hits hard.
- Apprehend: Controls enemies and can upgrade into Interrogate.
- Grapple Chop: A close-range grapple that can become Grapple Strike and later No One Escapes.
- Batarang: Ranged pressure that can become Batarang Swarm.
- Explosive Batarangs: Area damage for clustered enemies.
- Cargo Pants: Supports a gadget-focused build.
A strong approach is to leap in with Vengeance, use a grapple to hold close range, then disrupt groups with a gadget attack. Prioritize upgrades that strengthen gadgets, protect combos, or improve special attacks.
Is It Worth It?
Batman is worth unlocking if you like fast engagement, enemy control, and crowd damage. He becomes especially effective when movement, grapple, and batarang upgrades are combined instead of relying on the default kick.
