hi there....

Once you have completed the story line are there still any enemies to fight (I have only seen 2 of the crazed inmates) and is it possible to find the criminals you have beaten in there cells for example the Joker and Harley Quinn...And also on the more unrealistic side is it possible to replay boss fights?
