Combo List
Notations:
1 = X for 360 and Square for PS3
2 = Y for 360 and Triangle for PS3
3 = A for 360 and X for PS3
4 = B for 360 and Circle for PS3
~ = Cancel
> = Dash
ES = Meterburn version of a move
F = Toward
B = Back
D = Down
U = Up
J = Jumping (if a combo requires you to jump straight up or backwards, it will be noted)
Guide Layout:
Combo damage will be listed as: (Normal/Jump Attack Starter)
I will always use 2 as the jump in, so damage will be based on that. When it is not possible to start a combo with a jump in the second % will be listed as NA.
All jump in attacks are overheads--therefore any combo starting with one, technically starts with an overhead. These combos will be listed under the appropriate sections without the jump in starter.

Bats General Info:
You can use Bats (4) during combos--this adds damage and hits, but also makes certain combos possible. In the cases where you need Batarangs for the combo to land, they will noted as such. For other that do not require Batarangs to land, all 3 add approximately 2-3% of damage to the combo.
Bats Combo Extension:
Bats can be used in conjunction with B23 to land a Grapple. To do this, release the Bats during the explosion on the B23--if the Grapple misses, you released the Bats to early. Combos will have (BE) listed in them for the Bat Extension.
Landing B2~ES Up Grapple:
This can be a little tricky because of negative edge. To get around this, when you do B2, hold down 2 while performing DB1 for the Up Grapple--this should stop it from registering your Up Grapple as an Up Batarang. If you are still having trouble with landing B2~Up Grapple, replace B2 with 11--it will slightly reduce the damage on the combo, but is much easier to land both timing wise and negative edge wise.

Pressuring with Batman:
There are two tools you can use to pressure with Batman that are relatively safe. From mid-screen, using B3 to pressure is a great tool because you can charge and delay it, add armor, and bait punishes. It leaves you at +12 on block, so you can easily check them with 112 (which is also safe on block and hit confirmable to a combo).
The other pressure tool is the string 22. It has an 11 frame start up and leaves you at +8 on block. Again, you can check your opponent with 112 and safely hit confirm into combo.

223 Starter Combos:
223 is a 10 frame start up that leaves you at -1 on block. It can safely be used and hit confirmed into any combo listed. All hits are mid, so there is no fear of being duck punished either. It does not move forward very much, so range is not one of its strengths.
