MAP01: The Subway (or "Gotham Station Hit" on the intermission screen) is the first map of Batman Doom. It was designed by ACE Team and uses the music track "Between Bat and Man" by Juan Sanchez.

Walkthrough[edit]

Map of The Subway
Letters in italics refer to marked spots on the map. Sector, thing, and linedef numbers in boldface are secrets which count toward the end-of-level tally.

Essentials[edit]

Drop down from your perch. Go down the stairs east of the "bank" sign, head south at the first bend and west at the next. Hop on the metro and keep going east until you reach a blue key door locked. Then, head back west, where a new compartment has opened which contains a brown terrorist enemy, which will drop the blue key when killed. Now that you have the blue key, go back to the blue door, open it, activate the switch in the room you opened and hop off the train through the westernmost compartment.

Go through the door west of you, take the corridor, which will lead you behind the train, and keep heading west until you reach a point where you can go on the other side of the tracks. Go through the door, head to the street south-west of the plaza, keep going south and enter the one building you can enter. Go through the south-western door, walk west for a bit and a Slum Lord will appear. Defeating it ends the level.
