A bad port can eventually be an ok port, but an awful one will never be completely fixed... specially since it costs money and the publisher won't be interested in spending that much, because otherwise they would have done a good port from the start.
In any case, I have Arkham Asylum and Arkham City, and I found them to be ok, but not as great as the critics say.
In another vein, those of you with an Nvidia card that are planning to buy a fast monitor (one of those 144Hz or more kind of monitors), pay attention:

Testing GPU Power Draw at Increased Refresh Rates using the ASUS PG279Q
The results are much more interesting than I expected! At 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor was drawing just 22.1 watts while the entire testing system was idling at 73.7 watts. (Note: the display was set to its post-calibration brightness of just 31.) Moving up to 100Hz and 120Hz saw very minor increases in power consumption from both the system and monitor.
But the jump to 144Hz is much more dramatic – idle system power jumps from 76 watts to almost 134 watts – an increase of 57 watts! Monitor power only increased by 1 watt at that transition though. At 165Hz we see another small increase, bringing the system power up to 137.8 watts.

Well shit and I ordered my 24" AOC G2460PG 144 Hz G-SYNC 1920x1080 monitor just the other week, which by the way still hasn't arrived.

I wouldn't worry too much, unless you need to restart the PC to change between the refresh rates (becasue of the GPU, not the monitor, of course). Just set the monitor to 120Hz when you're not playing and, when you want to start a game, change the refresh to 144Hz.
Just don't forget to lower it down once you're done gaming.
