So it turns out you can do the zip glitch using any cover in the game, increasing its possibilities by a lot. Here are some useful or funny zips near the start of the game, before entering Medical Facility.

There may be some hidden variable influencing the zip outcomes sometimes. It might be related to which zip you used previously or camera angle. I still don't understand everything about this glitch...

I: zipping through Decontamination to its south exit, possibly saving a little bit of time. Reliable zip.

II: an alternative way to get to the top level of Decontamination without grappling hook (not that you'd ever need to do this). Reliable zip.

III: just a funny looking Decontamination zip that sends Batman sitting on a lamp. Funny how any object in the game world supports his weight, even though he is a burly guy.

IV: Batman freaking out against a wall at Sanatorium.

V: you can often see out of bounds while zipping. Since doors appear to be loading zones in this game, peering through a door most often reveals blackness and not much else.

VI: an alternative way to get to the higher level in the north-east part of Arkham North. Not 100% reliable, though.

VII: you can send Batman into outer space at Arkham West. This causes him to respawn on the roof of the Medical Facility... not sure if this could be useful? The zip is not 100% reliable.

VIII: a beeline from Arkham Mansion to Botanical Gardens entrance. A reliable zip.

IX: a beeline from Arkham Mansion to Arkham North entrance. Pretty reliable zip.

X: an alternative beeline for Arkham North.

XI: a zip to get on top of the cliffs overlooking the graveyard at Arkham East. Reliable, although I'm not sure if you'd ever need to do this.

XII: a beeline from the ruins to the north gate at Arkham North. Reliable, although I'm not sure if you'd ever need to do this.

XIII: interrupting the outer space zip at Arkham West early, you can get to Arkham North entrance. Not 100% reliable, but looks cool.
