first of all details of my rig: NVidia 540m gt, i5 2410m@ 2.30GHz, 10GB RAM, Ubuntu 15.04.
And here is the problem - I was trying to install Batman: Arkham City on different versions of Wine, all taken from WineHQ DB marked as gold:
WineDB - Batman: Arkham City
I am using PlayOnLinux, trying different versions of Wine with listed components, but almost everytime result is the same - Steam is installed, game is downloaded and while trying to run it - few errors are presented, game seems to launch but screen is black and only sound is there.
So the question to you guys - did anyone managed to run the game and actually play it?
P.S. I remember @dubigrasu had it on his movie with games running through wine on SteamOS but did not recall which components are installed on his wine prefix, maybe @mrdeathjr you can advise?

In my case use desktop hardware for this reason suggest verify if indeed nvidia graphics stay used for default (nvidia settings allow decide which adapter is used)
Back to installation and others issues, in batman series is important dont install mono, this is very usefull when you need install net framework (in batman series net 3.5 is required)
For this purpose i recommend use winetricks (more easily compared with manual installation)
When game open in steam for first time install directx, physx* and others (if try install again net, cancel this installation if you have installed net with winetricks)
*However in my case i have installed in wine before begins steam in wine: directx jun2010, openal, physx, physx legacy, internet explorer 7, windows media player 10, windows media format 7, 9 and 11, xna 3.1, xna 4.0, visual c++ redist 2005 sp1, 2008 sp1, 2010 sp1, eax, lav filters 0.67

One "problem" (if you want to call it that) is that the game launches minimized, and I have to click the window icon, but that's a really minor issue.
The bigger issue for me (which I will deal with later, but if anyone reading this has some advice, I would welcome it) is that my Xbox 360 controller doesn't work with it (but it does work for native Linux games).
I'm using Debian GNU/Linux amd64 jessie/stable with some parts of testing/stretch (via apt-pinning). The GPU driver is fully from jessie/stable, but I got Wine (1.8) and some other packages that are irrelevant to the running of this game from stretch/testing.
I don't remember exactly what I did, if anything "fancy", but I installed steam using winetricks (apt-get install winetricks) by using the command "winetricks steam" (without the quotes), and I probably also used a command like "winetricks dotnet35" (without the quotes) to install version 3.5 of the .NET Framework.
If I remember correctly, I couldn't get the game to run in Wine 1.6.
My relevant specs are:
CPU: Intel i5-4460
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6970
RAM: 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz (but, dmidecode -t 17 says Speed: 1600 MHz and Configured Clock Speed: 1333 MHz - if someone knows what this means and why it is the case, please let me know, because if it means that my RAM is running slower than it should, I don't understand why)
USB 2.0 5400 RPM HDD
Edit:
Based on what I tested, I'd rate this game "Platinum" for how well it runs in Wine (at least on my setup).

Normally will be dificult but more like keyboard (more precision than controller however requires time to dominate but in my case dont have this problem because i played around since 97 with keyboard however and begins is difficult)
Only use controls in console (PSX or Wii) both good consoles

For Batman: Arkham City, I believe that that is the Xbox 360 controller (even though I game at my computer desk, and not from a couch) (and the fact that I have yet to get the Xbox 360 controller working with Wine is the reason why I have yet to play this game's campaign in Linux).
I have yet to try it, but I think the answer of the user named "Takkat" in the following link might be what we need.:

If you end up following what Takkat says, please let me know if it works. :)
