So the bad guys are sneaking around - Batman springs out of nowhere and beats the crap out of them, possibly asking the leader some questions afterward. The goal is to take them down before they even realize they're under attack. Or if he wants to ask questions first, he suddenly appears with his cape flowing dramatically.

I was thinking more of game mechanics, particularly those affecting the NPCs confronted by Batman's deliberate scare tactics. For example, when are you allowed to use Intimidation in combat?
